When I came across this 1973 GMC Sprint here on eBay with a starting bid of $10,000, I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1st. No, I’m not talking about the price tag –… more»
Survivor Cars
Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:
1956 Desoto Coupe: Hemi FireDome
Here’s your chance for a hemi from the ’50s for a reasonable price. In a world full on ’50s Chevys and Fords, this would stand out! And, unlike many Desotos, it’s actually a nice color, red and black instead… more»
1952 Dodge Wayfarer: Defying The Odds
When you stop and think about how many cars have met their demise at the hands of rust, theft, negligence or accidents, it’s amazing to see vehicles from the ’40s and ’50s still on the road. Heck, I know… more»
1960 Mercedes 190 Kombi: The People’s Carrier
There’s something about a car with an interesting geographical history that always makes me want it more. Take this 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 Kombi here on eBay with bidding at $8,100 and the reserve unmet: it was ordered new by… more»
1968 Cadillac: Let’s Go Land Yachting!
The Cadillacs of the 60’s were huge, elegant land yachts and this Cadillac is a fine example. There was no concern about how much gas it took to haul the beast around, and the floating feeling you get when… more»
1968 Datsun 1600: Cleans Up Nice
I’m of the mindset that sticking with one brand of automobile from a project perspective has its advantages: you learn the market, the prices, and the people who have the stuff you want. It’s harder to make the same… more»
1968 Intermeccanica Italia Coupe: Flamed Out
This 1968 Intermeccanica Italia listed here on eBay for the heady price of $44,950 may be rare, but in reality, it’s actually quite well done. An engine fire took this rare sports car off the road early in life, preventing… more»
1953 Nash Rambler Deliveryman: Never Seen One
When this 1953 Nash Rambler Deliveryman popped up here on eBay with active bidding and the reserve unmet, I immediately began digging for more information on this funky variant. But there’s some deja vu at work here as well,… more»
Little Old Squire: 1962 Falcon Wagon
Pet peeve of mine: flippers that don’t even take the car off the trailer before photographing it to sell it. Nevertheless, this is a cool find and I haven’t seen many of them, especially with “little old lady” provenance!… more»
Deluxe! 1941 Packard Coupe
I love the “Deluxe” script on the hood sides and the three elegant chrome accents on each fender of this classy Packard. It’s located in Canal Winchester, Ohio and is on the market here on eBay where bidding starts… more»
1968 Chevy Camaro RS/SS: Back From War
The story is not a new one: an American Veteran returns from overseas and buys himself a true muscle car, both as a reward and as a reminder that the USA makes some pretty kick-butt machines. I recall an… more»
1970 Dodge Dart for $1,600
From David F – Here’s a 1970 Dodge Dart with less than 40,000 miles for only $1600. It even has factory air. There’s no apparent rust and the body looks pretty nice except for the left front fender. Even… more»
1966 Sunbeam Alpine: Aged to Perfection
With only 85,000 miles and an extended slumber of 25 years under its tires, this 1966 Sunbeam Alpine is extremely original and a tempting project – if you don’t mind driving the slower-sibling of the fire-breathing Sunbeam Tiger. Listed… more»
Augmented Survivor: 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix
At what point does a survivor become a refurbishment or restoration? That’s a question I’m asking as I examine this really nice Pontiac for sale here on eBay. The car is being sold by a Grand Prix expert and… more»
1979 Pontiac Trans Am: Bandit In The Barn
I grew up watching shows like The Dukes of Hazzard, Herbie the Love Bug, and Smokey and the Bandit. For many of us that watched these movies and shows, these cars have special meaning. They were more than cars, they had… more»
Pushes My Buttons: 1956 Chrysler New Yorker
Maybe it’s the two-tone paint, maybe the original-looking interior, maybe it’s those 8 audacious chrome accents on the rear fins. Or maybe it’s the thundering Hemi underhood! There’s something about this vintage Mopar that I really like. It’s currently… more»
