  • Lot of Seven Pirate Ship-Themed Vehicles

    Lot of Seven Pirate Ship-Themed Vehicles

    Apparently, these seven vehicles were modified with a nautical theme and used in the filming of a TV show.  The whole fleet can now be yours! These are based on an eclectic selection of 90s and 2000s vehicles, as follows: 2002 Ford Explorer 1996 Jeep Cherokee 2001 Volvo S80 1997 Volvo 850 1996 Altima 1997…

  • You can’t Beat this Honda with a Stick

    You can’t Beat this Honda with a Stick

    Yes, this is a rare (especially outside Japan) Honda Beat Kei Car.  This little beast has a 0.7L, three cylinder engine and weighs just about nothing.  0-60 wasn’t impressive by today’s standards, due primarily to a lack of torque, but we imagine this would be amazingly fun to drive. The seller claims this car is…

  • Dumped 4-Runner Project

    Dumped 4-Runner Project

    Like yesterday’s Cutlass lowrider, this is an incomplete project based on a terrible idea.  Is it too late to save it? Let’s try to figure out just what we have here.  It’s a ’92 4Runner on hydraulics, it has no engine or trans, it comes with a right-hand drive dash and steering box (not installed)…

  • All for Naut?  Nautica, that is…

    All for Naut? Nautica, that is…

    Co-branded cars sometimes make sense, but it’s clear that the buying public never really “got” the Mercury Villager Nautica special edition.  These were around for a few years and with a couple color schemes, all involving blue and white with a yellow stripe (of course!).  We here at Oddimotive HQ really like white wheels, which…

  • Thoroughly Pimped W140 S320

    Thoroughly Pimped W140 S320

    Sometimes Tacky is the most appropriate term for a vehicle.  It’s ever better when the car made tacky was the base model to begin with and when the asking price is comical at best. First off, yes, Mercedes Benz offered an inline six in the boxy W140 S-Class.  You’ve probably seen one but the owner…

  • Plymouth Acclaim Plus Chevrolet Blazer Yields THE ACCLAZER!

    Plymouth Acclaim Plus Chevrolet Blazer Yields THE ACCLAZER!

    What do you get when you cross a Plymouth Acclaim and a Chevy Blazer?  Behold, it’s the Acclazer! The seller states that this currently has not title, but that perhaps one can be gotten.  I’m not sure public roads really need this, but that’s for the next owner to decide.  The 350 supposedly runs well…

  • Turbocharged Rotary in a Suzuki Samurai!

    Turbocharged Rotary in a Suzuki Samurai!

    The Samurai gets no respect among automotive pseudo-enthusiasts, but it gets lots of respect among those who know it’s a truly capable off-roader.  Interestingly, it seems people sometimes want to convert them into street-only machines.  We previously featured a V8-equipped, RWD Samurai – call that the redneck path.  Today’s feature car is more the sport-compact…

  • Worst NSX Ever?

    Worst NSX Ever?

    Did you ever wonder what an NSX would look like as a full convertible (not just a targa)?  Well, here’s your answer.  If you are also into gangsta rap stars’ cars, this qualifies, given it belonged to Ice Cube.  Presumably, this seller hopes to cash in on Straight Outta Compton hype.  For the concerned purists,…

  • Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine

    Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine

    Yeah, the title pretty much sums it up. The seller says this is an unfinished project, but doesn’t need too much.  We’ll see.  This uses a 2005 STI engine with Supra transmission, NP205 transfer case and 1985 Toyota pickup axles.  The parts sound legit – can you make it all work?  If so, you’ll have…

  • Another Oddimotive Grail Find: Ex-Red Bull Suzuki X90!

    Another Oddimotive Grail Find: Ex-Red Bull Suzuki X90!

    Who doesn’t want a Suzuki X90 with Red Bull provenance?  That was a rhetorical question, as we know everyone wants one.  The good news today is that this is one of only so many surviving examples and that it still has a trunk converted to a big cooler.  The bad news is it seems these…
