Survivor Cars

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

Great Expectations: 1999 Plymouth Prowler

This 1999 Plymouth Prowler has just 6,100 miles from new and is a desirable later production example equipped with the more powerful 3.5L V6. Said to be a collector car stored carefully since new, the seller is asking $29,990,… more»

Conquista Camino: 1987 Chevrolet El Camino

I promise to limit my “time capsule” remarks to a minimum on this one. This really is a mind-blowing car, it’s a 1987 Chevrolet El Camino Conquista Edition and whether you think it’s too new or too pedestrian or not… more»

One Owner, 23,900 Miles: 1973 Datsun 240Z

The Datsun Z car has a special place in history as it not only was a change in Japanese built automobiles, it was an affordable sports car that had stunning looks, and offered a driving experience that only a… more»

Not The Norm: 1969 Charger R/T Hemi

This could just be one of the most incredible finds we’ve come across in a while! This 1969 Charger R/T is a survivor with just 32k miles on the clock. Oh and it’s a 426 Hemi 2×4 car that… more»

Ready To Work: 1946 International K-1

It’s amazing what great photos can do for an old truck! This International has already had all the mechanicals sorted and is said to be a great driver, but cosmetically it looks to be all original. And by all… more»

1k Mile 1993 Mustang SVT Cobra!

Yesterday, we featured Pete’s beautiful low mileage Mustang SVT Cobra. Well, a few people messaged me that they liked it, but they are fans of the Fox body SVT Cobra and that they wanted to see one of those…. more»

Factory Roll Bar: 1987 Toyota 4Runner SR5

To me, one of the coolest features of any vehicle is the presence of a standard roll bar. True, rollover protection is easy enough to install via aftermarket suppliers, but the fact that Toyota felt like buyers of the… more»

“Drives Like A Lazy-Boy Couch”: 1979 Buick LeSabre Limited

LeSabre. What an evocative name for a car. From the original 1951 concept car all the way up to its demise in 2005, the name meant something special. Of course, it could be argued that some of the cars… more»

Bronze It! 1972 AMC Ambassador Survivor

If you want a perfect example of what AMC was producing for middle America in the early 1970s, this is it! Resplendent in Baja Bronze Metallic paint that I think may be original (there’s no sign of masking around… more»

EXCLUSIVE: 1972 Volvo 1800ES

Seller Description: This is solid, running, driving 1800ES that I have owned for 10 years. I bought it as a non-running garage find and have turned it into a reliable runner. I am currently suffering from the typical collector… more»

Boop-Oop-A-Doop! 1971 Chevy Nova

This Nova may seem pretty boring but it is mostly original and has a fun name; Betty Boop!  The original vinyl top and rust have been replaced with paint that’s probably close to the color of the original vinyl…. more»

5 Speed Survivor: 1987 Maserati Biturbo Spyder

This 1987 Maserati Biturbo convertible is in impressive condition and wears high mileage for a vehicle that typically can appear delapidated with the odometer barely broken in. Although reliability has always been an issue, this turbocharged 5-speed example here… more»

Terrific Tahoe: 1983 Chevrolet S-10

I don’t know if sellers are coming out of the woodwork with their time capsules or if they’ve always been here and I haven’t noticed it as much as I have in the last couple of years. This 1983… more»

Ramblin’ Wagon: 1965 Rambler Ambassador 880

I’m a huge fan of the stacked-headlight fifth-generation Ramblers and this 1965 Rambler Ambassador 880 Wagon looks like a winner. It even has a manual transmission! I know, a manual in a wagon may not be ideal for most… more»

Long Lincoln: 1973 Lincoln Continental Coupe

By 1973, the fifth-generation Lincoln Continental had grown to over nineteen-feet in length, but it was still a few inches shorter than the peak 1977-79 models. This 1973 Lincoln Continental Coupe is long on quite a few things – beauty,… more»

Not Perfectly Original But Perfect! 1973 Corvette

One of these days I will own a C3 Corvette, if only to see if either the naysayers or enthusiasts are right about these cars. I still think as a general rule they are inexpensive for what they offer,… more»
