Survivor Cars

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

Jade Jewelry: 1976 Ford Thunderbird

So pull that cover back and show this green beauty! By 1976, the Ford Thunderbird had gone from being a sporty personal luxury car to a monstrously large luxury coupe. It was still pretty cool, though, and 52,935 of… more»

AM Radio Included: 1983 Mercury Lynx

Despite once roaming American roads in vast quantities, economy cars from the 80s are scarcely seen today. But if you were to spot one, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn it was a 1980s-era Ford Escort (extra points if… more»

Restored King Cab: 1979 Datsun 620

As they (they = people with a lot of experience buying old vehicles) say, always buy the nicest example that you can find, instead of getting something cheap that needs a ton of work. Let someone else do the… more»

Snowflake Creampuff: 1,900 Mile 1978 Pontiac Bonneville

This picture could easily have been taken on a Pontiac dealer’s lot in 1978, but actually, it is a current photo of this unbelievably low-mileage Bonneville. An otherwise largely unexciting vehicle, this two-door land yacht is as pristine as… more»

Affordable Entry-Level Bimmer: 1972 BMW 2002

The spritely BMW 2002 served as the German powerhouse’s point of entry to the mainstream American market in the late ’60s, and for years the 2002 also served as many enthusiasts’ point of entry to BMW ownership. While good… more»

1st Hemi ‘Cuda! 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda

Are you a trust fund baby? Or, maybe you just sold a few thousand shares of Google or Apple stock, or just sold your business? If so, this 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda may be for you. This low-mileage original… more»

Sweetheart Survivor: 1963 Chevrolet Corvair

Long maligned, it looks like Chevy’s quirky Corvair is starting to get its due respect in the collector car market. Claimed to be a one-owner car in an ad that is otherwise light on details, this ’63 Corvair Monza… more»

Bronze Pony: 1973 Ford Mustang Grande

Just look at this Saddle Bronze pony! I know the 1971-73 Mustangs aren’t as popular as some earlier models, but their supporters are more in number every day and this one is a pretty nice example. It’s for sale here… more»

Memphis Mudder: 1972 Suzuki LJ20

Jumpin’ Jimny, this is a nice looking rig. This is a 1972 Suzuki LJ20, better known as a Jimny in other markets. This one is listed on eBay in Elvis country – Memphis, Tennessee – for $11,900 to buy… more»

1 of 100: 1987 Pontiac Firebird Pro AM

We’ve all heard of the Pontiac Trans AM, but how about a Pro AM? If not, don’t feel bad, there were only 100 of these custom Firebirds built. Choo Choo Customs out of Chattanooga, Tennessee ordered 100 Firebirds which… more»

Seller Description: This barn find has been stored in the barn since 1990. Runs decent. Very little rust anywhere on the vehicle. If there is any it is surface based. 304 v-8 engine. May need new exhaust. Has four… more»

No Reserve: 5-Speed 1987 Chevy Camaro

This survivor-grade 1987 Chevy Camaro IROC Z28 is a clean, slightly-better-than-driver-quality example equipped with the desirable 5-speed manual transmission. A one-owner car with just 67,000 miles on the clock, this generation of Chevy’s iconic muscle car has enjoyed a… more»

Who Doesn’t Use A Pickup Truck? 1984 Chevrolet Silverado

I guess it’s good for pickup truck collectors, but why exactly does one buy a pickup and not use it? Our poor truck shows several scars, despite me being careful, of being used as a workhorse at Casa Jamie and… more»

Are You Ready To IROC? 10,094 Mile Camaro Survivor

When it comes to originality, you won’t find many 32-year-old survivor cars that are still running on the tires they left the factory with! That’s the case, however, with this Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z listed for sale here on eBay. Showing… more»

Vacuum Sealed: 12 Mile 1993 Mustang Cobra R!

We have featured some very nice foxbodys lately. There was a 14k mile Cobra and even a thousand mile one, but this takes the cake as the ultimate survivor foxbody. This is a rare Cobra R model and it’s… more»

Original Owner: 1964 Dodge Custom 880 Convertible

You don’t see many Dodge Custom 880 convertibles at all, let alone one that is still owned by the original purchaser and is still wearing its original Seminole Red paint. This car is for sale here on eBay with a $10,000… more»
