Dodge Caliber “Show Car” with Lambo Doors and SEMA Histroy
The Caliber just wasn’t odd enough, so someone decided to paint one “chameleon green” and add 22-inch wheels and lambo doors. In fact, someone did this for Lear corporation and it was shown as the 2006 SEMA show. As is often the case with such a car, this is all show (love it or hate…

Wagon + Woodgrain + 383 + Four-speed = Heaven?
This is a Dodge Custom 880, which was the top-of-the-line offering in 1965. Even better, this is the wagon example, originally with woodgrain and a four-speed! This one currently has a 383 V8 in it, but we think a ’65 should have a 361. In any case, it’s not clear which 383 this is. If…

Dually Rat Rod with or without Engine
Ah yes, the “Rat Rod” concept. It seems it can be used to describe just about anything rusty and incomplete, but we’ll venture to say that this is pretty close to the original intent. This is based on a 1926 Model T and a 1958 Dodge dual-axle truck. It looks like the basic structure is…

Dodge Ramcharger Macho Power Wagon
Outside of serious Mopar fans and people in Mexico, where a later generation was sold, it seems that few remember that Chrysler offered a competitor to the Bronco and Blazer back in the day. In the very rare category is the Plymouth Trailduster, which was a twin to today’s feature vehicle, the Dodge Ramcharger. This…

SurrealMobile Found Art Van
If you’re really into found art, this is the van for you! Given this is in Chicago, a Houstonian might consider purchasing it and moving it south to join the Art Car festivities… The artist, who claims to be some sort of royalty, may or may not have made a name for himself around Chicago…

WTT means What The Truck?!
It seems someone has decided it makes sense to combine a 1985 Dodge shortbed pickup with a 2003 Mercedes Benz ML320 frame, powertrain and drivetrain. Not surprisingly, they didn’t get far, and now the seller wants you to bail him (or her?) out of this madness. The seller does describe this pretty well, so we…

Rare Shelby-Dodge Collection
There’s been a lot of talk about 80s cars lately, with some of the most collectible starting to go up in value. This means Gen Xers are starting to enter the collector world to snap up the IROCs and SVOs they dreampt of back in the day. At the Auctions America Fort Lauderdale event in…

Confused Van Project
Is this a Ford? Yes. Is it a Dodge? Yep. It seems this is a 1962 Ford Van body on a Dodge frame of some sort. Based on track width, this might be on a shortened military chassis. Regardless, the dually van look is, well, interesting. Click for Craigslist ad Lake Forest, CA (Oddimotive HQ!)…

“Famous” Lowdown and Dirty Van
The seller claims this van is famous. I can’t find anything indicating that is true; but who cares when a van is this cool? It’s really too bad that no interior shots are included in this ad. Barring evidence to the contrary, I will go on believing that this van is full of wall-to-wall, orangey-brown,…

1980 SPACECRAFT STAR WARS EXPLORER PROJECT
Sometimes an ad’s title is one of its best attributes, and I don’t even need to make up another name. This is one of those times. The ad itself identifies this RV as a 1980 Dodge Sportman, but I prefer the Spacecraft Star Wars Explorer language used in the title. The seller really sums this…
