Survivor Cars

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

Collector-Owned 40 Years: 1962 Dodge Lancer

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»

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»

Collection of Hot 1960s Vintage Mopars!

If you’ve been wanting to get hold of a 1960s Plymouth or Dodge to drive or work on, the seller has not one but five of them for sale in Whitesboro, New York. They cover the 1962-64 period (except… more»

1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327 With 7,508 Genuine Miles!

While many parallels can be drawn between the American and Australian muscle car scenes, the industry Down Under was driven primarily by the desire for motorsport success. It spawned classics like the Ford Falcon GTHO series, the Torana L34… 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»

A 92 Year-Old Survivor? 1930 Packard Standard Eight Roadster

A symbol of wealth and power that rolled off the assembly line just as it was becoming clear that the Great Crash of ’29 was only a taste of things to come, this 1930 Packard Standard Eight Roadster is… 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»
