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»
SVT Supercar: 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R
With only 300 ever built, the 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R is easily one of the rarest Mustangs offered to the public for sale. They rarely appear today, in any form, and command a strong following among Mustang enthusiasts… more»
44K Mile Survivor: 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix
The Pontiac Grand Prix has one of those iconic car names that sometimes feels a bit ironic when slapped on to a mid-size coupe or sedan with fairly humble underpinnings. Grand Prix is a great car name, no doubt… more»
1-Of-77: 1973 Lamborghini Jarama 400GT
The Lamborghini Jarama is a rarely seen front-engined offering from the fabled sports car builder, pitting a 3.9L V12 engine up front with room for two small seats in the rear. A true 2+2, the Jarama slots nicely between… more»
Elderly Owned YJ: 46K-Mile 1990 Jeep Wrangler
Finding a highly preserved Jeep Wrangler of any generation can be a challenge, mainly because these highly-capable (and cheap) rigs were meant to withstand heaps of abuse on a daily basis. I suspect the collector market has woken up… more»
Cheap Manual XKE? 1970 Jaguar E-Type
The Jaguar E-Type is perhaps one of the more unpredictable classic cars when it comes to the prices they command on the vintage car market. I’ve seen Series 2 cars and later command surprisingly strong money despite being far… more»
Nicest One Left? 1986 Isuzu Trooper LS
As some of you may recall, I rescued a 1986 Isuzu Trooper two-door from a bramble bush on my friend’s property in Georgia a few years back. That project is still rolling along, and actually nearing a point of… more»
Campmobile Survivor: 1979 Volkswagen Bus Westfalia
This 1979 Volkswagen Westfalia is the top-shelf offering from the company that year if you sought a camp-ready vehicle that made life on the road seem entirely possible. Featuring a pop-top roof with side curtains in the window and… more»
Rare Replica: Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Body
