Poking around Goo-Net once again, this time looking at cars that are listed as 'Other', or as 'Other' within the listings of a specific country of origin.

First, the US Other section, where I find this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! sedan.

Judging by the pictures, this appears to be a very well taken care of and well documented Rambler. Looks almost brand new, but no mileage listed. US$25,270 takes it.

A couple listings below I find this beautiful !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for US$35,040 .

Slotting in-between on age is this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , with a Packard V8 under the hood (which was first introduced in 1952, according to Wikipedia) and a Packard Ultramatic automatic transmission.

Want something more modern and sportier? How about going to the Other section for Germany, with this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a roadworthy replica of Porsche's legendary Porsche 962 race car.

From Italy, a trio of Girasole Elettricas in !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . All three are interesting Italian electric cars for under 10 grand.

Also from Italy is this Fiat 850-based !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a very interesting little Italian coupe.

Finally, the general 'Other' section, with an interesting variety of machines.

First, one of the worst cars ever made, and likely the worst EV ever made, the Indian built !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Also from India, this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with 47,389km on it.

Very confusing how this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! got listed as 'Other'.

Finishing things off is this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . There's no listed year, but according to Wikipedia, the Rallye 2 was built from 1973 to 1978.

There's a lot more cars there listed as 'Other', but these are the ones that stood out to me the most.

The Stratos is "other" because it's not a genuine Lancia, it's a kit car/custom. Stratos' had Dino V6s, not Toyota MR2 turbo engines.

That makes sense. I honestly never bothered to look in the back. :/

The engine seems weird. It says 2000 cc instead of 2418cc. Maybe it is a Hawk kit car with a modern twin cam 4 cylinder.
