Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:
Nicest One Left? 1968 Toyota Corona

All-Original J2 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88
It’s debatable, but generally agreed upon that the first American muscle car was the 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88. Relatively small, attainable, and powerful for its time, it was influential enough to inspire an entirely new genre of music, and… more»

A few weeks back, I covered this 1972 Ford Ranchero and stated, “Full disclosure, Ford Rancheros, such as this 1972 example, don’t capture my imagination the way that Chevy’s El Camino does“. Well, that lack of imagination capture extends… more»
Low Mileage 1968 Volvo 122S Wagon
Someone is going to get a very good classic car. This 1968 Volvo 122S wagon, from the tail end of 122S production, has only 59,989 miles on the odometer and is sparkling in all the places where they’re usually… more»
All Original? 1967 Honda CL77 305 Scrambler

7K Miles! 1997 Ford F-250 XLT 5-Speed Diesel 4×4
There are time capsules and there are time capsules – if that makes any sense. That term is bandied about a lot when it comes to vintage vehicles and for the record, a 1997 Ford F-250 XLT 4×4 diesel… more»
Original Paint: 1960 Hillman Husky
UPDATE 02/25/2022: It seems that some sellers can’t strike it lucky when they place their beloved classic on the market and will employ interesting tactics in any subsequent sales attempts. That appears to be the case with the owner… more»
Still In The Box: 1998 Honda Dream 50
In 1998, Honda was celebrating its 50th anniversary. They issued the “Dream 50” as a throw-back to the iconic CR110. This one was purchased new and never un-crated! It is up for auction in March at the Sale Rétromobile… more»
