  • What’s Better than an AWD, Manual Wagon?

    What’s Better than an AWD, Manual Wagon?

    How about one modified to be a pseudo-Subaru Baja? This was once an AMC Eagle wagon; but someone took an angle grinder to it and added too much diamond plate.  The end result is a not-so-weatherproof mini trucklet with a carpeted bed.  Wasn’t that one of the downfalls of the Lincoln Blackwood? Fittingly bidding sits…

  • Manual 1979 Subaru Wagon in Beautiful Brown!

    Manual 1979 Subaru Wagon in Beautiful Brown!

    After our recent “Monster Legacy” post, here’s a very original, very nice 1979 Subaru wagon to make things right. The seller claims to have sold this car new while working at a local dealership in 1979 and has subsequently found the car via an estate sale. It’s now being kicked out of the house by…

  • Eleven Suzuki X90s in One Sale!

    Eleven Suzuki X90s in One Sale!

    This seller, who seem to still have the “Baja X90 with rear seat” previously featured here on Oddimotive, is now offering now fewer than eleven X90s in one lot.  Sadly, only one stock photo is included… See ad text for details.  What can we possibly add to this?  Actually we can add that we’re a bit…

  • Lada Niva Somewhere in Russia

    Lada Niva Somewhere in Russia

    We love the Lada Niva here at Oddimotive!  These offer hatchback looks and functionality with Jeep off-road capability and Eastern Bloc mystique.  This one is offered be a zero feedback seller in Russia who provides previous little information.  What could go wrong? Claimed mileage is 62K, but we imagine that’s kilometerage.  The seller does claim…

  • 4Runner Pickup Conversion

    4Runner Pickup Conversion

    Did you lament the death of the first-generation 4Runner’s removable top in 1989?  Apparently, someone did, as they opted to modify a second-gen vehicle to look somewhat like a first-gen with the top off.  Was that a good idea? Because the photos are lacking, it’s not clear what in the back, but we assume it’s…

  • Truck Free or Die!

    Truck Free or Die!

    This is a slightly smaller monster truck, but has plenty of size for a road vehicle.  If you REALLY like Ford, this might be for you.  If you need to justify the purchase, use the practical, all-season four-wheel drive and economical diesel to convince your wife.  Where is this redneck truck, you ask?  Why, it’s…

  • 4Runner Rickshaw

    4Runner Rickshaw

    Would you like to pretend you have a first-generation 4Runner?  This could be just the ticket.  This would also be good if you want exercise while transporting your parents, but we’re not sure about regulations related to rickshaws in the US. This is being sold as a trailer, but we see no way to attach…

  • (sun)Dance the Night Away with Four Wheel  Drive

    (sun)Dance the Night Away with Four Wheel Drive

    Not long ago, we featured the delightfully odd AMC Eagle Kammback, which many say is the closest thing to a four-wheel-drive Gremlin.  Today, we present the AMC Eagle Sundancer, which was a convertible version of the Eagle.  These were modified by an outside firm, so weren’t 100% factory convertibles, but my understanding is that they…

  • 4WD, Manual Hatchback!

    4WD, Manual Hatchback!

    Though this look like a B12 Sentra “Sport Coupe” from some angles, it’s a 1988 Subie GL hatchback, which means you get 4WD as part of the mix.  This would arguably be the ultimate winter beater in a snow state, but it would be a shame to encourage it to rust away. This seems to…

  • 1974 Civic 4WD

    1974 Civic 4WD

    The seller’s brief introductory description says a lot: “1974 Honda Civic. All Wheel Drive, VTEC, 6 speed manual transmission, cruise control, power window on passenger side, air conditioning.”  Yes, this car was put together with a 1990 Honda Wagovan and a 1974 Civic and it has a 6-speed manual trans.  Most important is that power…
