Audi 200 Quattro 20V wagon
Audi practically disappeared from the US market after the ‘unintended acceleration’ debacle, which really just meant the pedals were closer together than yuppies thought they should be. That near-disappearance makes this 1991 Audi 200 rare to begin with. Add in the wagon body and manual transmission and you have something you may never see again.…

The fastest sedan made in America
Well, at the time, it was, as the ads proudly proclaimed. Most remember the original Taurus SHO and its ability to shock most vehicles sold at the time. For model years 1991 and 1992, however, the SHO was not the quickest domestic sedan. That honor belonged to the Dodge Spirit R/T. This beast of a…

Nice MX-6 GT
We featured a beat up and somewhat modified white MX-6 GT early on, so we feel it’s a good thing to follow up with a nice, stock one. Miles aren’t super-low, but this looks like a good, honest used car. Yet again, no four-wheel steering here, but maybe that’s good from a maintenance expense perspective…

Good, honest Turbo Brick
We love Volvo Bricks and,of course, love Turbo Bricks even more. The seller gives a good amount of info here and this seems like a great, original car. With one of these, the teacher’s car story fits perfectly. The only downside is it’s severely lacking in clutch pedal. Would you keep it as-is and hope…

SOLD! Fuego Turbo
This was in the watch list long enough to end, but it worth sharing. Here we have a Fuego Turbo manual with 50K miles. This is basically the Holy Grail of Fuegos (which is saying so much!), and gives us a new idea of how high the prices can go. Keep in mind this car…

Frbidden Fruit: Volvo 480 Turbo in the US!
We recently search all the way to Europe to find one of these, as they’re true favorites. The question here is whether anyone can drive it in the US, especially CA…hmm. If it was a 1988 model, we know EPA would be okay, but 1989? Click for eBay ad SLO, CA $9,500 starting with ZERO…

Two home-modified shitboxes (or is that shitboxen?)
Here we have two domestic-branded shitboxes, each originally built by a different company and each pretty heavily modified. Here at Oddimotive, shitbox is a term of endearment, as regular here know that we love both the Festiva and the Chevy Sprint Turbo. We’re still not sure about the Daihatsu Charade, but even that now has…

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…

Steet legal bumper car?
We’ve featured a few MitsuDodge Colts/Mirages, but none quite like this. Hopefully, there is nothing else quite like this. We could say a lot here, but the only relevant question is whether any owner will find someone else with whom to play. Click for eBay ad St. George, UT $1,000 with ZERO bids and reserve…

Take your pick: Two Mark Cross edition LeBaron convertibles (plus a bonus Dodge 600).
Perhaps Chrysler envied AMC’s co-branded special editions of the seventies. That could explain the Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross edition. One might even suggest that they envied AMC so much that they bought what was left of the company five years later. These early LeBarons offer pure K-car squareness lost in the later models. Interestingly, two…
