  • Dual-purpose Pontiac?

    Dual-purpose Pontiac?

    We’ve never seen this body style: a 1950 Pontiac which the seller lists as Ambulance/Hearse.  I guess the hearse part comes in handy if it’s running late on ambulance duty. How can you put a value on this one?  We can see it being cheaply fixed up and parked in front of a business.  Still,…

  • Faux-ieros:  Wanna-be Italians based on Pontiacs

    Faux-ieros: Wanna-be Italians based on Pontiacs

    These days, it seems that most Fieros are wearing costumes, usually mimicking Italian exotica.  Here we have two such beasts, one immitating a Lamborghini Countach and one a Ferrari F355 spyder. The Fauxrrari is obviously finished to a greater extent, but does the Lambfauxghini have the same potential?  These cars are for two very different…

There’s really nothing to love here…

    Take your pick: Two F-Body “Special” Editions

    These two just had to be posted together, as the auctions started on the same day.  Here we have one movie tribute and one TV tribute. Car#1 is a KITT (yes, Two Thousand…not a Mustang) replica: Car #2 is a Bandit II from 1991, which was an aftermarket special: Car #1:  This appears to be…

  • Rare, one-year beast: Grand Prix Turbo

    Rare, one-year beast: Grand Prix Turbo

    These don’t come up very often, as only 2,000 were built.  A good friend of Oddimotive worked on this vehicle at GM back in the day and seemed to remember it fondly, for the most part. Unfortunately, this didn’t out perform its direct competitors, the supercharged Thunderbird SC and Cougar XR7, which also offered manual…
