Be Prepared for 2027!
Perhaps one day, the 1987-only Monte Carlo Aero Coupe and its Pontiac Grand Prix twin will be so collectible that clones will exist and/or rusty hulks will be worth restoring. They are already collectible by 80s standards, after all, but that means only so much in terms of value. Regardless, you can be prepared for…

One Mean Vega Kammback
Yesterday, we featured a 1998 V8 Cougar made into a shooting brake. Today, we have a Vega Kammback shooting brake made into a V8 monster. Vega V8 conversions pop up from time to time, but a converted wagon is fairly rare. Of course, this isn’t exactly a sleeper, with the giant hood and massive exhaust,…

Throwback Friday: Custom S-10 Blazer
Once upon a time, customized mini-blazers were fairly common; but I can’t say I’ve ever seen this ‘puffy top’ approach employed. The seller claims this was a ‘show truck’ back in the day. It does indeed have some sort of body kit, in addition to shaved bumpers, ‘Vette wheels and that remarkably odd soft top.…

NUMMI-licious Chevyota Nova Twin Cam
In the 80s, the Domestics resurrected some names which were thought to be lost in the 70s. Plymouth briefly brought back the Duster name, as documented in Jalopnik’s excellent coverage of the resultant Cocaine Factory ad. Chevrolet also brought back the Nova name and put it on a version of the Toyota built at…

WTT Means What the Truck?!
This really defines the WTF label here on Oddimotive. So, there’s a Chevy S-10 in there, which is evident in the greenhouse, but not its location vs. other typically fixed points in the vehicle structure. Note that this is NOT a six-wheeler – that is a side-mounted spare, in the style of 1920s and 30s…

Super 70s Widebody ‘Vette
Apparently, this is a fairly rare Eckler’s Corvette wide body. There were kits available, but this is one of a small number of cars assembled at the shop. The seller claims it was featured in a number of magazines, and appears to have reasonable proof (unless they all looked exactly the same). What would you…

Stretched Drag Chevette on Nova Frame
Why not? Just be sure to bring your own engine and trans. The seller points out that the front was extended eighteen inches and the engine mounts moved back twelve inches. Someone put a ton of work into this, but I’m not sure why. Click for eBay ad McMillan, MI $1,000 with ZERO bids It’s…

Mullet Car? It’s not what you think.
The seller did a fine job of hiding this fact in he photos with strategically terrible angles, but this IS a mullet car. Police car in front, sporty coupe in back. This generation of Caprice had a fourteen model year run, which is actually longer than the current Lincoln navigator. If the front of this…

Cars & Coffee Sighting: Kubota Powered S-10
So what does a Kubota tractor and a late 90’s Chevrolet S-10 have in common? Nothing, other than with some determination the Kubota engine can be made to fit in the S-10. Yes, you are seeing that right. A Kubota tractor diesel engine swapped in an S-10. The owner put in a lot of work…

Apocalypse Van
Really, don’t YOU need an apocalypse vehicle? Right now, this van looks like it already went through one, but the seller suggests it’s ready for whatever may come its way. Here is the seller’s apocalyptic sales pitch: “Need an appropriate vehicle for the apocalypse? Look no further! Bluey comes equipped with a rugged “been there…
