Survivor Cars

Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:

Old Gold Sled: 1973 Dodge Coronet Crestwood

The first word that comes to mind here is “dinosaur”. Perhaps it’s because this wagon is so old, huge and obsolete or because it took a lot of dinosaurs to fuel this beast. Whatever the case, this big Dodge is a nice… more»

Arizona Truck: 1966 Datsun 520 Pickup

It’s hard to believe that this 1966 Datsun 520 pickup is even remotely related to the gigantic, monster Nissan Titan pickup that’s being sold today. Of course, if a person needs a big pickup with lots of hauling and towing… more»

Monacool: 1968 Dodge Monaco 500

When I hear the term “Monaco,” I can’t help but think of The Blues Brothers! This 1968 Monaco 500 is just about as different from the car used in that movie as it can be. While it may not fit… more»

Muscle Truck: 1994 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

These photos are among the most disappointing that I have ever seen in a listing that has a main goal of selling a vehicle. That doesn’t mean that the vehicle depicted by those photos is disappointing, quite the opposite…. more»

14K Original Miles: Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible

Once a common fixture on U.S. roads, the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme has gradually disappeared as these handsome coupes and sedans hit the bottom of the depreciation curve. The convertible models still enjoy a strong following, as do the final… more»

Hello Mary Lou: 1984 Mustang LX Convertible

Many of you younger folks probably have no idea who Rickey Nelson was. He is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Old folks like me, well, his music gets stuck in our head and we might just wander… more»

Aim High: 1965 Ford F-100 Stepside

“Off we go, into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun..”.. Try getting that song out of your head now. This is a former Air Force truck – a 1965 Ford F-100 Stepside. It can be found… more»

Numbers Matching T-Top: 1968 Corvette

Third generation Corvettes are always a thrill to find in original condition with a numbers matching drive-train like this 1968 T-top car. The current owner of this car first spotted it in 1986 but didn’t acquire the car until… more»

Hipster Hit: 1990 Ford Country Squire Woody Wagon

I miss the Ford Country Squire wagon of my childhood, so seeing the one found here on eBay certainly brought back lots of memories. The one in our family was a sixth generation 1968 beauty – white with a… more»

Landlocked for 35 Years: 1972 Ford Falcon GT

The XA-series Ford Falcon is a legend in Australia, practically an icon and reserved for Aussies only as part of Ford of Australia’s lineup. This one has been hidden away for 35 years and is the most desirable GT-spec,… more»

Solid Tu-Door: 1933 Ford Tudor

Parked on jack stands, and looking a bit weathered, this Ford Tudor is a very solid candidate to revive, especially considering it is a native California car. When the 1950’s came about this Ford received a little hot rod… more»

Scout lovers rejoice, these rare rigs do not come up for sale too often. Thanks to Matt W. for tracking down this 1963 International Scout Camper Deluxe! It can be found on eBay with a buy it now price… more»

Left Behind In Parking Garage 15 Years Ago!

598,310 Miles! 1983 Toyota Corolla DLX Wagon

We’ve seen cars with low-mileage claims and those usually get their share of jeers. How about a car that looks like it has low miles but has almost 600,000 miles?! This 1983 Toyota Corolla DLX Wagon is that car…. more»

Original Tires! 5k Mile 1976 Trans Am 455 Four-Speed

Original tires!?! I’ve refurbished cars parked ten or fifteen years with tires that converted into something that’s not rubber. The dry-rotten tires on my buddy’s ’72 Mustang didn’t even grip my inclined driveway. We set the parking brake and… more»

Fun And Exciting? 1966 Rambler Classic 770 Wagon

Just look at this beauty Pat L. found for us! It is a real survivor. It’s listed on craigslist in Orange County, California with lots of good pictures but not much of a description. The 770 is the top… more»
