Sighting: One of the ugliest cars ever made?
It’s a good thing I didn’t catch the front end. Of course, you can admire that at the link below the image. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Buick-Skylark-coupe.jpg

BMW + Lincoln = ?
We’ve known about these for years, but haven’t previously seen one for sale. Ford, with dreams of higher MPG and possible global reach for the Lincoln brand, made a deal to buy BMW turbodiesel engines for a select few models. The Mark VII was one of the lucky few… Two brothers who were good friends…

Sleeper potential
Volvo 142s and 240s are often modded, whether it’s rally-style or an engine swap. Here we have a 1974 164E, which was closely related to the 140 series, but had a luxury-oriented front end and an inline six tuned for comfy cruising more than spirited driving. This one, however, has triple carbs, hot cam and…

Strange two-fer for NASCAR and bubble-bird fans
Who’s the target customer here? Also, this is a terrible add – it seems to be for two cars, each at $4,500, but with one mileage number shown. Is that the combined mileage of the two? Also, V6 is specified, so these NASCAR racin’ tributes are slow as hell. Note: your humble host once had…

Epic color combo
The seller claims this 510 wagon was repainted in the original color. We dig the yellow and green combo, hideous as it is. Click for eBay ad Vancouver, BC $6,000 Canadian 05/14/2013 update: Looks like no one bought this one. Maybe the seller forgot that’s awfully close to $6K US, these days? The yellow seems…

Is a James Bond car too nice for Oddimotive?
Not this one. This is from a movie most Bond fans have likely tried to forget, from the pimp-mobile in the beginning to the blatant sell-out by including AMC product placement to the inclusion of Tatoo as a bad guy (possibly the original mini-me). Click for eBay ad Westfield, NJ $2,026 with eight bids 05/14/2013…

Quickie: BLACK GOLD (Wal Mart special?)
“So lavishly appointed, there are virtually no options.” This is not the worst condition Black Gold we’ve seen for sale, but it’s not the best, either. Click for eBay ad Bentonville, AR $2,000 05/14/2013 update: Ended at $3,500 with 14 bids and reserve not met. Do we even need to insert the link? Okay, here…

Earlier combination of Saab and GM.
From the seller: “67 saab 95 wagon setting on an s-10 blazer frame with a 454 chevy engine” How much can we really add to that description? Everyone likes to say “put a SBC in that” to so many project cars. Well, why not a BBC? Maybe this was an early 9-4x or even 9-7x…

Dodge Lancer – not a Mitsubishi
Yes, the Lancer was, off and on, a Dodge. It existed in the late 50s to early 60s, then reappeared as a Chrysler Lebaron clone in the late 80s. Like most K-car derivatives, the Lancer was available with the 2.2L turbo inline four, in this case with 175HP, which was nothing to sneeze at. This…
