Quickie: Respect the wagon
This ’71 LTD Country Squire is shockingly well preserved. Who knows why? This particular one is slightly older than the one once owned by your humble host’s grandparents. That was a coppery-rose-on-brown LTD II and was believed to be a 1977 model. It was well known for its surprising torque (it also had the 400)…

Quickie: Multiple identity crises?
Some may remember the Ramcharger, which was Chrysler’s Bronco and Blazer competitor for a number fo years. But, do you remember the equivalent Plymouth Trailduster? Most don’t.

Click for Craigslist Ad $22,000 in Vancouver (!?) Click for Barrett Jackson auction result (2008) Hmm…they paid $6,600. Since the general public has forgotten about…

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…
