Some Assembly Required: 1941 Hudson Traveler

Not One, But Two Corvairs For $3,000

It’s rare enough to find a nice Corvair, but to find what could end up being two cars for a really good price seems like a really great find to me (thanks go to reader Clarke B for this one)!… more»

EXCLUSIVE: 1966 Ford Cortina GT 1500

I have a very long list of cars that I would love to experience, but sadly half of them are cars that were either never offered in the US or were sold in such limited quantities here that they… more»

Split Bumper Delight: 1973 Chevrolet Camaro RS

Perhaps not as popular as the first generation of Camaros, the 1970 to 1973 cars are equally attractive as the earlier cars. This 1973 RS car has received some recent work, and appears to be a great start to a restoration. For $8,500… more»

60 Years Forgotten: 1931 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan

Recently discovered in a barn in Pennsylvania, this Ford Model A has spent nearly 60 years at rest. The owner passed away, but the widow claims the car has been untouched since the late 1950’s as her husband purchased… more»

Publica Pickup: 1971 Toyota 1000 Pickup

Monster truck fans, this one’s for you! This is a 1971 Toyota 1000 Pickup and it’s one rare vehicle, especially being left-hand drive. It also has the fender/wing-mounted mirrors, which is normally a Japanese market thing and I don’t normally see… more»

Looking Gangster: 1937 Buick Special

The Buick Special was introduced in 1936 and was Buick’s entry level car. Some of us love the styling of prewar cars and find this Buick especially enticing. This one is listed on craigslist in Minburn, Iowa for $6,300. The seller has redone… more»

California Binz: 1963 Mercedes Kombiwagen

In the Mercedes world, wagons are a fan favorite. They are considered the epitome of long-lived, highway-devouring haulers that can pack in the family and still keep the driver entertained. Before the later W124 and W123 cars that put… more»

Scrap Hauler: 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe

These Ford Coupes are some of the prettiest Fords made in the Deco era. Thankfully this one has lived a simple and humble life as a scrap hauler having towed a trailer. Unrestored, and with a unique patina, this… more»

Function Over Form: 1935 Graham Housecar

It seems the age-old problem of not being able to drive your house is nothing new, and that for generations, we’ve been trying to find ways to have our cake and eat it, too. This unusual Graham Housecar is… more»

Roman Road Car: 1963 Lancia Flavia 1800

The name Pininfarina has quite a mystique about it. Since 1930 they have provided design services to several vehicle companies ranging from the exotic Ferrari and Maserati, to those that you may not have guessed, like GM and Hyundai. Another… more»

Dry Stored 22 Years: 1952 Mercedes 170 VA

The term “dry stored” usually brings ideas of solid, low rust projects. Unfortunately this Mercedes was found in a barn before being stored those 22 years in dry storage. There is rust, and other concerns, but these older Mercedes… more»

60 Triumphs For Sale In South Carolina!

One Year Weirdo: 1973 GTO 4 Speed

The 1973 GTO was a one year only car based on the completely restyled A body. In 1974 the GTO was based on the smaller X body car, the Tempest. By 1973 muscle cars were pretty much a memory. In 1973… more»

Hold That Tiger: 1962 Sunbeam Alpine

What a ray of sunshine this car is, which is fairly coincidental with it being a 1962 Sunbeam Alpine. This Series II car is listed on Collector Car Ads in Olympia, Washington with an asking price of $7,995. Thanks to… more»

Bandit Connection: 1982 AMC Concord Sundancer
