41k-Mile Survivor: 1959 Chevrolet Corvette

Air-Cooled Opportunity: 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera

The 993-generation Porsche 911 has spent years climbing the wish-list ladder for enthusiasts, and cars like this 1996 Porsche 911 Targa help explain why. Listed on eBay, this blue-over-gray example combines the final air-cooled 911 platform with a six-speed… more»

19k Original Miles: 1986 Pontiac Bonneville

Higher Miles: Nice 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

Rare Indy Edition: 1993 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado
