On the heels of Plymouth entering the compact car market in 1960, Dodge quickly followed suit. The Dodge Lancer would largely be a rebadged Plymouth Valiant, but with a higher level of creature comforts. The car would be produced… more»
Survivor Cars
Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:
Mini Monkey Project: 1970 Honda Z50 Mini Trail
It’s hard to believe, but the original Monkey bike is well over 60 years old and still going strong, with Honda producing a variation of it in 2022, and similar in design to the one we see here today…. more»
Under 40K Miles: 1973 Porsche 911T
Brown may not be the preferred color of sports cars, but there’s no denying that for vehicles of a certain era, it is indeed period-correct. But does it ever begin to work against a certain class of vehicle because… more»
Sharp Driver: 1973 Volkswagen Beetle
Some cars just give off a vibe that tells you it’s been loved. This 1973 Volkswagen Beetle is helped greatly by the fact that it has seemingly led a charmed life whereby its caretakers have lovingly looked after it… more»
Rare Red Ragtop: 1983 Buick Riviera Convertible
In 1976, I remember all the hype around the news of the last convertibles being built in Detroit (and how some car collectors took the supposedly end-of-an-era bait). Six years later, there was a “Just Kidding” heard from Detroit… more»
57k Original Miles: 1985 Ford LTD Crown Victoria
Sixteen. That’s the total number of words the seller pulled together to describe this well-preserved, low mileage 1985 Ford LTD Crown Victoria. If you like beige and browns, low mileage originals, and boxy full-sized 80s styling, this Crown Vic… more»
429 Police Interceptor: 1971 Ford LTD
Ford tested the waters in 1965 with a luxury version of the full-size Galaxie 500. Their advertising hyped that the car was quieter than a Rolls-Royce. The consumer response was positive, and the car quickly became a series of… more»
Stored 40 Years: 1975 Suzuki RE5 Rotary
You’ll have to help me think of a more unique motorcycle than this 1975 Suzuki RE5 rotary. Between a Japanese company, an engine with German heritage, and an Italian designer, they threw almost everything at this bike. The seller… more»
One-Owner Survivor: 1974 Pontiac LeMans
The LeMans began as an upscale version of the Tempest compact in the early 1960s and later became the primary series as a mid-size. The fourth generation of the car debuted in 1973 as part of the redesign GM… more»
Survivor Swede: 1986 Volvo 760 Turbo
While it does have some mild paint issues, I am comfortable calling this 1986 Volvo 760 Turbo sedan a survivor because its overall condition is so impressive. The body panels appear to be laster-straight, the polished hubcaps still shine,… more»
24K Mile Garage Find: 1993 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo
The Z32-chassis Nissan 300ZX represents a high watermark for the company’s iconic sports car. Incredible styling, loads of technology, and an available twin-turbocharged V6 combine to make it one of the foremost Japanese performance cars of the early 9os…. more»
Low Mile Rocket: 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo
I hear you loud and clear: this is hardly a barn find. Unless, of course, you’re so wealthy that your stable of collector cars is housed in a building ironically called “The Barn”. Still, this staggeringly beautiful 1986 911… more»
37K-Mile 1977 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe
Short garage alert: this 1977 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe is 19.5-feet long! This car isn’t for those of you who are nervous about driving a big vehicle in traffic but I’d have to believe that other drivers would get… more»
