Survivor Cars

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

Country Package Survivor: 1993 Jeep Cherokee

This clean Jeep Cherokee Country is listed by the same dealer that I believe Scotty’s super clean Subaru RX was sold by years ago. They have a tendency to get low-mileage survivors of interesting vehicles made in the last… more»

Government Retiree: 1978 Dodge D Series Step Side

Retired from Government duty, this 1978 Dodge pickup is a charming looker that is ready to drive. In original condition featuring a 318 V8 and a 4 on the floor, this truck seems like a great classic work horse… more»

Original, Unmodified 1991 Honda CRX Si

It’s funny how time keeps marching on. And not ha-ha funny, unfortunately. It just means that we’re all getting older, but it also means that the vehicles that a lot of us are interested in are getting newer. This… more»

ATV Trail Blazer: 1970 Honda ATC 90

I don’t get excited about three-wheelers often, but the Honda ATC 90 has to be one of the coolest motorbike contrpations ever made. The ATC really paved the way for the ATV market in the U.S., with its famous… more»

19,000 Miles! 1973 Chevrolet Nova

Most of us dream about finding an old vehicle that’s as close to showroom perfect original condition as it can be. This 1973 Chevrolet Nova is one of those cars. This time machine is listed on eBay with a… more»

Fire Sale: 1975 Triumph Spitfire

Surely everyone has seen and appreciated the Triumph Spitfire by now, but like any old car, Spitfires in nice original condition aren’t very easy to find for a good deal. Garaged for the past 30 years, this bright orange… more»

4WD Limited: 1985 AMC Eagle Wagon

It takes quite a bit to out-Subaru Subaru, but AMC’s Eagle division did that in the early-1980s. This 1985 Eagle wagon is listed on eBay with a current bid price of just over $3,000 and there is no reserve!… more»

One Owner Survivor! 1972 Chevrolet Corvette

Time Capsule! 1970 Dodge Polara Survivor

The 1969 to 1973 Chrysler “C” Body includes at least three personal favorites:  the hidden-headlight Plymouth Sport Fury and Chrysler 300 coupes, and the Chrysler Imperial sedans. However this 1970 Dodge Polara makes a sharp contender as well, with… more»

The Last Dinosaur! 1996 Buick Roadmaster Wagon

One morning, eons ago, the last dinosaur woke up, feeling queasy, nibbled on some tender vegetation, gasped, and keeled over with a tectonic thud. Similarly the Chevrolet and Buick full-size wagons, last of the V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive wagons that defined… more»

7,900 Mile Barn Find: 1973 Jeep CJ-5

With almost a 30-year production run the CJ-5 is one of the most iconic vehicles to come down the pike. Sometimes they don’t even come down the pike or drive on the turnpike or on any public roads, such… more»

Mellow Yellow: 1977 Chevrolet Vega

This is one clean Vega, or at least the driver’s side is, that’s the only side that we get a glimpse of, unfortunately. This mellow yellow 1977 Chevrolet Vega is listed on eBay in Montgomery, Texas with a single… more»

Boost Coupe: 1990 Pontiac Sunbird GT Turbo

I have fond memories of a high school friend who owned a Sunbird GT convertible, a completely accidental find on the owner’s part. It was a winter car to accompany his Trans Am project, and as a Pontiac enthusiast,… more»

What Was Your First Bike? 1975 Rupp Roadster II

Did you have a mini bike or a motorcycle as a kid? If so, do you still have it? This 1975 Rupp Roadster II is listed on eBay with bids of $1,200 and a full four days left on the… more»

Parked For 22 Years: 1965 Porsche 356 Cabriolet

This gorgeous 1965 Porsche 356 Cabriolet is a true survivor, parked for 22 years and recently exhumed. As expected, bidding is intense and is already over $60K with eight days left. Said to be a numbers-matching example with under… more»

Handsome Hatchback: 1973 Oldsmobile Omega

First year cars always get me. Sometimes it’s best to steer clear of them because they had bugs to work out which often took a year or two, and sometimes, they’re worth a gamble. This 1973 Oldsmobile Omega looks… more»
