The “Other” IROC: 1992 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T
Yes, there was a non-Camaro IROC once upon a time and it offered FWD. This car was nothing to sneeze at, however, as it offered the Chrysler Turbo III also seen in the Spirit R/T, which was the fastest sedan made in America at the time. So, this little beast offered about 225HP and similar…

Can opener classic: Custom 1982 Dodge Charger Convertible
Chrylser never offered a factory Dodge Charger convertible, but some were apparently converted by Coach Conversions in Van Nuys, CA. The seller of this beast claims only three red ones were done – were there 4,000 in other colors? We doubt it… We found this on our local Craigslist, but quick research while writing this…

77 Colt – Within negotiating range of LeMons
Here’s one we just don’t see too often – the second generation Dodge Colt by Mitsubishi. Given the ad provides essentially no information and the car isn’t running, we think this could be picked up hauled off for $250 or so. The best news in the limited ad text is the presence of a four-speed.…

Creepy van #2103484
This is the best creepy 70s van we’ve seen in a while. The seller even claims relatively low miles and it has the top Mopar van engine from ’78, the 360. Click for Craigslist ad Venice, CA (therefore there’s a good chance someone has lived in this…) $2,700 Damn, this paint job rocks! Seriously, who…

Small Turbo Mopar, 17 Years Later
Many scoff at the Dodge Neon, but those in the know realize it was a competitive autocross car in the 90s, known for tossable handling and a spritely DOHC I4. The ACR was the ultimate 90s Neon, as no turbocharged version of the first generation was ever available. Dodge corrected that with the SRT-4, which…

Speaking of Dodge SUVs, here’s a Shelby SP360!
We’ve posted one of these before, but these Shelby SP360 Durangos are rare finds and this one is in the same town as Oddimotive HQ. The price is high, but the miles are low…good thing I have no toy car budget at this point! Short reminder: Kenne Bell Supercharged 5.9L V8 (360 CID and 360…

It’s not a Bronco, it’s not a Blazer…it’s a Ramcharger.
Even better, it’s a Ramcharger Prospector SE Royal Edition! I remember a Ramcharger Prospector in the neighborhood when growing up. Although I’m a Bronco guy, this always seemed like a cool, obscure alternative. It’s really too bad we never got the third generation Ramcharger, which was only available in Mexico. I once saw one around ten…

Dodge Mierda
Ooops, it’s technically Mirada. Either way, these are unusual rear-drive coupes that were only around for a few years in the early 80s. There was even an attempt to get back into NASCAR racing with these. Bottom line – this is a Dodge version of the Chrysler Cordoba made famous by Ricardo Montalban for its…

Least likely want ad ever?
The ad text is all we need to display: I SEARCH DODGE ASPEN SPECIAL EDITION T BAR ROOF FOR EXPORT TO FRANCE NO RUST PLEASE Nah…there’s nothing fishy about this ad. Maybe someone really is that nostalgic for an Aspen? Dare we ask why? Click for eBay ad St André lez Lille, France Want ad:…

Goes Like Hell or Project from Hell?
Here we have one of the original pocket rockets – the Omni GLH from the mid 1980s. Who wouldn’t love 80s domestic mediocrity in the form of a shitbox hatch, but stuffed with a turbo four yielding impressive straight line performance in this light car? Carroll Shelby himself was involved, and even bought the last…
