Cadillacs and their competitors at Lincoln are no stranger to being parked in the garage with nominal miles on the clock, saved as either potential collector’s items down the line, or simply unused due to their popularity among the… more»
Rare Colors : 1985.5 Porsche 944
There are plenty of sports cars that seemingly were meant to wear one shade of paint, leaving all other colors out in the cold. Of course, this isn’t true – certain cars look good no matter the first owner’s… more»
Not Stock: 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra
Collector cars in slightly less than showroom condition seem like the best value going, as you’re still buying a vehicle with a reasonable shot at appreciating while not having to fork over mountains of cash for a time-capsule example… more»
Tired But Worthy: 1988 BMW M3
The E30 BMW M3 needs no introduction: it has arrived as a collector car, and that isn’t going to change. It’s joined the ranks of the air-cooled 911, the Mustang Cobra, and other limited production performance models. Ironically, it… more»
No Reserve Chopper: 1946 Harley Davidson Servicar
This custom Harley-Davidson chopper began life as a now-rare Servicar, which was a clever concept that marketed motorcycles as a sort of service vehicle, born of out the company’s desperation to generate sales. Of course, the body that made… more»
Best One Left? 2,200 Mile 1986 Chevrolet El Camino
Although the Chevrolet El Camino has lived through multiple iterations, the fifth and final generation is perhaps the most recognized. While it’s the kind of car that brings a smile for its unusual configuration and always-ready-for-a-good-time demeanor, values haven’t… more»
Electrified Roadster: Shelby Cobra Kit Car
An electric Shelby Cobra: is this not the greatest insult ever conceived? Well, yes and no. It’s not like some modern-day tech scion decided to flip the proverbial bird to men with gasoline in their veins everywhere and create… more»
Corvette-Powered: Lamborghini Countach Replica
For years, I barely paid attention to replicas of desirable supercars and sports models. Most of the time, it was not due to any particular elitism or judgment, but because the replica itself was so terribly constructed. I’ve never… more»
No Reserve FJ62: 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser
Toyota Land Cruisers are no longer the occasional collector vehicle; they are a full-on, every day, top-shelf collector trucks when found in condition similar to this impeccable FJ62 listed on eBay. It’s fairly black-and-white, as you can still spot… more»
Two Garage Survivor: 44K Mile 1987 Porsche 944
For years, the Porsche 924 and 944 were the cheapest P-cars you could buy, often times selling for less than some cheap front-wheel drive Japanese coupe, but collectors didn’t take much notice. Then, the 911 gets hot, and most… more»
Never Seen One: 1963 Submersible Submarine
With the going rate for a person, two-man submarine well into the millions of dollars, may I present to you a more affordable alternative? This no-name two man submersible submarine supposedly hails from 1963, but that’s about all the… more»
Donated Conversion Van: 1983 Dodge B250 Sunhawk
It’s hard not to love a period conversion van, especially one with killer side glass like this 1983 Dodge Ram Van. Shockingly, this van ended up as a charitable donation, despite being a fairly pristine survivor owned by one… more»
Cheap Project? 1986 Buick Grand National
Given the tenure the Buick Grand National has enjoyed as one of the more collectible GM products of the modern era, it’s always a surprise to see one languishing in what is obviously project-grade condition. That’s not to say… more»
Patina Pagoda: 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL
The Mercedes-Benz W113 “Pagoda” is a desirable entry into classic Mercedes top-down ownership and still represents a mild bargain compared to other drop-tops from the brand with the three-pointed star. The 300SL is obviously in another universe at this… more»
FJ40 Ranch Truck: 1967 Toyota Land Cruiser
This 1967 Toyota Land Cruiser is a desert-dry example of the classic FJ40 utility vehicle, said to be uncut and unmodified after years as a workhorse on a Utah ranch. Finding these early FJ40s in unrestored and unmodified condition… more»
Corvette-Powered: 1978 Lotus Elite
I would wager better than 50 percent of the time, when we feature a Lotus Elite project, it’s the kind of car that’ stored in boxes rather than garage spaces. Rarely do they show up as survivors, or complete… more»
