Ramcharger de Mexico
To the extent Americans think about the Ramcharger, we usually think about the 1974 to 1993 version. Like its Bronco and Blazer competitors, it was based on a full-sized pickup. In the 1990s, Ford and GM continued in this market with the Expedition (four-door only) and a next-gen Blazer (quickly renamed Tahoe and then limited…

Turbo K-Car Variant Two-Fer!
Okay, the Shadow/Sundance was technically a P-Body, but that was a K-Car derivative. Regardless, what you get here is two turbo Chrylser products for $4,500. What’s not to love? Well, okay, build quality is questionable and the styling on the LeBaron (at least I’m pretty sure it’s a Lebaron – with the four headlights) is…

Best Video Game Car?
If you liked the Rampage video game, you’ll LOVE the vehicle. (Photo courtesy of The International Arcade Museum) As you likely already know, the Rampage was a trucklet from Dodge and had an ever cooler twin called the Plymouth Scamp.

From Humble Roots Came Something Interesting
Is there any car more humble than a Dodge Shadow? I’m sure you can come up with one, but you get the point. Most Shadows fell into the category of “basic transportation”, but some interesting, turbocharged engines were available here, just like on all other K-car derivative. A Mitsubishi V6 even snuck in late in…

Dodge Dakota Town Car
…why not add a camper shell? The result reminds us of early limousines. Perhaps the bed is extremely luxurious? We’re fans of the Dakota convertible here at Oddimotive, but this is the first camper shell we’ve seen on one. The seller claims it runs strong, even at 300K+ miles. It’s been towed behind an RV,…

Raiders of the Lost Mitsubishi-Chrysler Children
Long before Chrylser sold Dakotas to Mitsubishi, the Raider was a three-door Mitsubishi Montero sold in Dodge dealerships in the 80s. We previously featured one that someone decided needed to be a baby Mercedes G-Wagen. This one’s closer to stock. No mileage or interior shots here, but the paint looks good, if that matters to…

80s Shelby in the right Color Scheme
Here we have a 1985 Dodge Shelby Charger with a later engine swapped in and wearing later wheels. The good news is it’s in the proper silver and blue regalia. The bad news is that paint has more than a bit of patina. The car is not without issues, so bid accordingly. The seller provides…

WARLOCK
We make fun of special editions pretty regularly, but these Dodge “adults toys” were pretty cool, even if most were just about looks, and not performance. The 318 and 4MT combo in this truck should at least be mildly entertaining, though it won’t run like the later, 360-powered ‘Lil Red Express. That truck was among…

Remember Custom Towing Vans from the 70s and 80s?
In case you don’t, they looked like our subject car minus the thirty years of neglect. Crew cab, dually trucks with massive towing capacity weren’t always the answer if you wanted to tow something and haul some people around. Back in the day, it wasn’t altogether uncommon to see these custom van/trucks with a fifth…
