Rolling Weenie: Six-Wheeled 1991 Geo Metro Stretch
The pictures speak volume here, but we do like a couple quotes from the ad: “Custom fabricated by a Boeing airplane manufacturer ” “With 6 wheels and three cylinders it’s not the fastest car in the world. Steep grades you have to drop into third at around 40-50mph” “Leaks oil typical for a 91′”

Sylvia Gen 1: 1977 Datsun 200SX
Okay, we’ve posted one as UR-Sylvia before. We stand by that. This is where the Sylvia started and it offers light weight and rear wheel drive with a nice, little L-series four cylinder up front. Included is a healthy dose of delightfully odd 70s Japanese styling. The seller claims this example has about 97K miles,…

Rare Callaway Turbo Scirocco
Callaway modified much more than Corvettes in the past, with their Alfa Romeo GTV fairly well-known; but they also got into a few Volkswagens over the years. Their “Stage I” Sciroccos boosted output from about 74HP to 117HP, which is a huge increase. The seller claims this car is one if a few “Stage III”…

Is Barcelona known for Velveteen Crush?
AMC had a great many special editions, some with ties to 70s designers; but this Barcelona Edition may take the cake – at least in terms of brownness. And, really, shouldn’t we always measure that way? This example appears to be in amazingly original shape. It’s not perfect, but it’s damn close, considering nearly 40…

Beautiful Brown Citroen HY Van
This awesome example of post-war French styling is fittingly for sale in Roswell, New Mexico. As was often the case with post-war European vehicles, this H van had a very long life cycle. Given it’s a commercial vehicle, this one pushed the limits with production from from 1947 to 1981. The original design used a…

The Best Vinyl-Bodied Car Ever?
Yes, the Velorex is technically a car and, yes, the body is made of vinyl stretched over a frame made of steel tubing. These cool little cars were made in Czechoslovakia from the 1940s through 1960s, before production shifted to an actual four-wheeled car (one of which we have never seen for sale). These cool…

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…

Feel Truly Free by Going Commando!
The Jeep Commando represented the final run of the Jeepster Commando, itself a rebirth of the Jeepster name originally used in the late 40s/early 50s. This one appears to be remarkably original, wearing its beautiful brown paint. For the Jeepster Command and Jeep Commando, the formula was something a bit more wagon-life vs. the Jeep…

Awesomely Brown AMC Spirit
This is the brownest car we’ve seen in a while, which makes it among the best cars we’ve seen recently. This is a claimed very low mileage (73K) car, and the condition backs up the claim. While it’s not perfect, the seller correctly claims this as a survivor. One would hate to refurbish this car…

Interesting Interior Work Plus Brown Equals Win
By most standards, this is just an old, brown F150. A quick look at the interior shots, however, shows why it’s here on Oddimotive. Some owner at some time ‘crafted’ an interesting center stack and some sort of custom electronics box. Also, this truck has a lot of brown. We like brown. This truck was…
