Manual 1979 Subaru Wagon in Beautiful Brown!
After our recent “Monster Legacy” post, here’s a very original, very nice 1979 Subaru wagon to make things right. The seller claims to have sold this car new while working at a local dealership in 1979 and has subsequently found the car via an estate sale. It’s now being kicked out of the house by…

Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine
Yeah, the title pretty much sums it up. The seller says this is an unfinished project, but doesn’t need too much. We’ll see. This uses a 2005 STI engine with Supra transmission, NP205 transfer case and 1985 Toyota pickup axles. The parts sound legit – can you make it all work? If so, you’ll have…

Best of Aliso Viejo Cars and Coffee
When we say “best”, we mean “most odd.” As a bonus, many shots include a two-year-old Oddimotive fan! Our first feature is a Caprice wagon with a 50s panel theme. The guy was packing up to leave, so we didn’t get details… Apparently, it still has some cargo capacity. Note detailed chrome work. The interior…

Impala-ized Buick Roadmaster Wagon
We’re big fans of the 90s Impala SS and the Roadmaster/Carpice wagons; so why not combine ’em? This was previously a wood grain car that was damaged and then repaired without it. We’re torn on that decision, as wood grain is pretty awesomely bad; but the end result here justifies the decision. The seller has…

Pinto Cruising Wagon With Needs
Are you hungry for some cruising? Is a 70s van just too much to manage? The Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon could be the perfect solution… Pitched as a smaller, cheaper, more economical alternative to a funky 70s van, the Pinto Cruising wagon incorporated the solid sides and tiny quarter windows so often seen on those…

A Non-Country Squire
We must surmise that this was Ford’s “City Squire”, given its European origin and diminutive size. Of course, “Country Squire” meant big ass, faux wood clad wagon in Ford terminology. The seller claims this car runs and drives well and has had a fair amount of recent maintenance. A good sign in the ad is…

Nearly Ideal: 80s French Turbo Diesel Wagon
Someone donated this awesomely odd 1986 Peugeot 505 diesel wagon, probably because it doesn’t have a clutch pedal. Could their tax write-off become your project? This Peugeot 505S turbo diesel wagon has about 240K on the odometer, which means the engine is barely broken in, but the car around it might have some issues. The…

Major Want: Sleeper Fairmont Wagon
For most people, the Ford Fairmont is completely forgettable, yet it did bring us the Fox platform, which underpinned Mustangs, Capris, Thunderbirds and Cougars for arguably too long (not to mention the Zephyr!). Today’s feature is a Fairmont wagon with 302 crate engine, 5-speed manual and limited-slip differential. We like. The seller claims that damn…

1987 Subaru GL-10 AWD Turbo Wagon!
Are you looking for a do-everything car? With a turbocharged four cylinder, manual trans and wagon body, this just might be it. This doesn’t have the power of a Passat W8 wagon; but, even at almost thirty years old, this Subaru GL-10 will be much more reliable. This Subie appears to be in amazing shape…

Turbo, Manual, Orphaned Brand Wagon: Saab 9-3 Sportcombi
Maybe you’ve never seen one, but Saab did indeed offer a wagon er- SportCombi variant of the last generation 9-3. This example has a manual transmission mated to its tw-liter, turbocharged I4. This is a Saab, so the front wheels are driven – perhaps the only strike against this car. A turbo V6 was also available, but…
