Survivor Cars

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

Barn Bird: 1960 Ford Falcon With 39k Miles

While I’m sure many of us would rather have a Mustang over a Falcon, I’ve always liked these little sedans! The styling definitely isn’t as sporty as a Mustangs, but that doesn’t mean these don’t look good. These first… more»

If You Can’t Say Anything Nice…1977 Cabillista

Uh, I’m speechless again. Yes, I realize that happened earlier this week as well with the former Spitfire, but see, as the resident defender on staff of the C3 Corvette, I just can’t tear my eyes away from this… more»

$4,500 Scooter: 1983 Chevrolet Chevette

This 1983 Chevrolet Chevette Scooter has been with the same owners, and was garaged, for three decades. It’s now listed on eBay with an unmet opening bid of $4,500! You Chevette lovers, this is a nice one and it’s located in East Setauket,… more»

Ready To Roam: 1966 Shasta Camper

Have you ever wanted to go on a camping excursion with your classic but you don’t have a VW camper, or a Dodge A100 camper? Then perhaps a small vintage camper would meet your needs of having the classic… more»

Canadian Military Issue: 1949 Ford F68

This 1949 Ford F68, or F3 for us Americans, was ordered by the Canadian Military back in 1949. It has seen just 30k miles since new, well at least that’s what the seller claims. As you can see, the… more»

Jewel Blue Coves: 1961 Corvette Convertible

Not that early Corvettes are exactly common, but it’s not unusual either to see a red with white coves C1 ‘Vette pop up from time to time. And while still collectible, restored examples don’t always fly off the shelves…. more»

Three Window Project: 1948 Chevrolet 3100

After a lifetime spent with one family since new, this ’48 Chevy pickup is still a solid truck with great potential to be a driver once more. Mostly complete, this Chevy has a wild patina despite its California roots…. more»

Fiero Bronze: 1980 Trans Am Turbo WS6

Although the 1980s were not kind to the Trans Am, a few models squeeked through that were decent performers, both by the numbers and on the skidpad. The Trans Am Turbo with the WS6 suspension package was one such… more»

SX Machine: 1977 Oldsmobile Omega SX

Where were you in 1977? Were you even alive yet? In 1977, the US turned control of the Panama Canal over to Panama, the first all-in-one personal computer, the Commodore PET (Personal Electronic Transactor), was introduced, and GM cranked… more»

Whammo! Pao! 1990 Nissan Pao

Ok, I know that it’s “Pow”, and maybe Batman wouldn’t be caught dead in a 1990 Nissan Pao, but I could see Robin driving one. This one is listed on eBay with a current bid price of.. actually, there… more»

Silver Anniversary Edition: 1989 Porsche 911 Cabriolet

I won’t lie, this photo immediately caught my attention! What could be hiding under that car cover? Well, it turned out to be a 17k mile Porsche 911 Cabriolet. Being a 1989 model, it also happens to be a… more»

North Dakota Survivor: 1946 Ford One Ton Truck

There are some beautiful pickup trucks out there, but some of the my all time favorite truck designs came out in the 1940s. There is just something about the curves and lines of trucks from this era that just… more»

History In The Making: 1985 Honda CRX SI

When the CRX came out in 1984 it was a cool and unique car that was peppy and offered great fuel mileage. Although the CRX was already a great car, Honda had an ace up their sleeve, the 1985… more»

Rad Red Ragtop: 1964 Dodge Dart 270

Only four years into Dart production, this 1964 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible was already a third-generation car. Who wouldn’t want a red convertible, especially one that looks this nice? This car is listed on eBay with a current bid price… more»

Cute Concept: 1982 Ford Ghia Shuttler

I don’t use the word “cute” too often, it’s a little creepy when a tall, skinny guy with a mustache calls something cute. But, that word fits this 1982 Ford Ghia Shuttler concept car perfectly. Look at this l’il… more»

Fancy Talker: 1986 Chrysler New Yorker

“Your door is ajar.” My door is a door, not a jar, what the.. Ok, that was lame. I had a somewhat similar car in the mid/late-1980s but it was a LeBaron convertible and it also talked. It didn’t… more»
