38k Miles! 1962 Corvair Convertible
Some cars just have an “honest” look about them. I think this is one of those cars; once you look it over I’d like to hear your thoughts, and if you agree that the 38,000 mile claim is legitimate…. more»

160 Mile 1982 Oldsmobile Omega!
We wouldn’t normally get too excited about an Oldsmobile Omega, but one that is claimed to have only covered 160 miles since new is a different story. When Jim S. emailed us the link to this Olds, I assumed… more»
