Don’t act like you don’t remember this one

Looks and drives great on the street and will take you anywhere off road or in the snow. Strong Vortec V6 engine,…

Maple Turbo
We didn’t realize Canada got a later Sprint Turbo. Apparently, they had this second generation car until about 1992. In the US. only the first generation cars had the 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo. The best version of this body that we got was the Swift GTI/GT, which was pretty darn cool itself and is referenced in…

Irvine Cars and Coffee sightings (3/23/2013)
Squareback – was owner’s first car and he managed to keep it. So rare to see one stock and in good shape. Nice guy, too. Amazon wagon! Jag XJ6 with 502 V8 in it Nice brownness… A legendary race car, but also a Lancia and thus odd.

420!
We’ve always wondered if a certain demographic might have a seemingly unusual interest in the Jaguar 420. This ad may just confirm that said demographic is indeed interested. In truth, while it’s easy to make fun of this ad, we car people must admit a bit of jealousy torward the seller for having managed to…

4-Bus combo package!
Does anyone ever fully understand these group deals? There are some possibly nice buses here (they’re NOT Vanagons!), but the lacking images and details are a bit surprising, and one has to wonder how many people are interested in four buses. Maybe it’s just a marketing idea to have one ad and sell individually. Still,…

Grab yourself a Grabber!
Here we have arguably the best Ford Maverick edition ever made. Everything is relative, of course. We at Oddimotive remember when Mavericks were just cheap, ugly used cars. Nowadays, they have retro appeal and, for some reason, don’t really look so ugly anymore. Times change. Click for a related enthusiast site Click for Ebay ad…

Perfect? No. Cool? Hell yes!
These don’t come up too often. Someone here at Oddimotive HQ has a strange bit of Volvo experience involving a yellow 1974 142 and will always have a soft spot for two-door bricks. At 159K miles, this thing is just getting warmed up, although it needs a lot cosmetically. Click for Ebay ad At press…
