Survivor Cars

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

1977 Plymouth Volare: 19,000 Miles

It’s not as hard as you might think to step back in time, especially with this woody-style ’77 Plymouth Volare wagon here on eBay with under 20,000 original miles. In our second Florida find of the day, this Volare sports working… more»

Dovetail: 1960 Simca Aronde

I had to look up what “Aronde” meant in French; it’s “dovetail,” very fitting for a car company whose symbol was a bird in flight. This stylish little coupe is located in Auburn Hills, Michigan and is for sale… more»

Beautiful Blue: 1978 Ford Thunderbird

My Dad had a 1976 Ford Elite, one of the predecessors of this Thunderbird, and I still remember how quiet it was and how it floated down the road. This one looks particularly classy to me in this Diamond Blue… more»

1962 GMC Suburban: Memory Maker

There are some vehicles that simply emit good vibrations. Whether it’s because they have a great story or played a pivotal role in creating fun memories, these classics are destined to become part of the family. This 1962 GMC… more»

Pumpkin Orange: 1974 Hornet Sportabout

I grew up with an orange 1971 Sportabout that was even plainer than this one. Dad did eventually take it to the local garage and have aftermarket air conditioning installed, but the AM radio never even got an FM… more»

Survivor Coupe: 1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency

This is one huge car! 232.2 inches long, to be exact, and weighing close to 5,000 pounds! 1976 was the last year for this generation of the Olds 98, and it went out in style. This monster is located… more»

1975 Datsun 280Z: Daily Driven

It’s not uncommon to see the words “daily driven” on eBay listings for classic cars. It boosts the car’s credentials, in some ways, that it’s in good working order and hasn’t been relegated to garage storage with a trickle… more»

Rust Free: 1974 Plymouth Duster

Interested in a clean, rust-free, floor shift, good running classic Mopar? This 1974 Duster is for sale in Farmington, Connecticut after being driven there from California eight years ago and stored since (I hope inside!). The auction listing is here… more»

Roadside Find: 1929 Franklin

From Brian C – Howdy Barn Finders. I just spotted this 1929 Franklin for sale in the streets of north Seattle. The seller says the odometer shows 60k but doesn’t say if it’s original. However it does state the motor… more»

31k Mile 1970 Plymouth Satellite Survivor

We wouldn’t normally get very excited about a four-door Plymouth, but this one is a little different. It has supposedly sat in a barn since 1980 and is all original. The interior and paint look to be in excellent condition… more»

Grand Old Caddy: 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood

This 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 is a real survivor. I can actually believe that it has just 69,000 miles on it. Someone has taken great care of this car. I hope the new owner enjoys it as it is and continues to… more»

Low Mileage Survivor: 1956 Chevrolet 210

The story of how this 1956 Chevrolet 210 only chalked up 29k miles is an interesting one. Supposedly the first owner lived in an apartment and worried that someone might steal the car. To avoid that possibility, they rented… more»

Evel Knievel Custom Trike: Found Overseas

So, what is it? Well, it’s one of the many creations that supposedly became famous for its association with legendary dare-devil Evel Knievel. This Cadillac-powered trike-on-steroids is listed here on eBay as part of a German collection, and bidding… more»

1980 AMC Concord DL: Dealer Trade

It’s hard to imagine that there are still vintage cars out there being traded in like late model Hyundais. It does make you wonder who owned this 1980 AMC Concord, listed here on eBay with a Buy-It-Now of $5,000. With… more»

1968 Chevy C-10 Stepside: Honest Hauler

There are some simple pleasures in the automotive enthusiast world, and one of them is the classic pick-up truck. Cheap to maintain and largely reliable (or at least difficult to break), examples like this 1968 Chevy C-10 Stepside pickup spotted… more»

1955 Chrysler C300: Restored The Right Way

It’s not often you find cars on eBay with the words “patina” in the ad and have it not mean some sort of rat rod special. This 1955 Chrysler C300 here on eBay has 6 bids with the reserve… more»
