EXCLUSIVE: 1976 Sebring CitiCar

318 Survivor: 1970 Dodge Charger

25k Original Miles: 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J

Update – This Pontiac has been relisted here on craigslist with a lowered asking price. It’s now down to $16,000 from its previous $22k asking. It’s a beautiful low mileage survivor, so hopefully, someone gives this Pontiac a good… more»

Two-Year Wonder: 1979 Dodge Li’l Red Express

Our alert readers will recall that a few weeks ago, we featured one of these that was half-finished. Well, forget that one, because this one’s ready to rock, and it’s listed here on eBay in Glen Arm, Maryland.

Fully Documented: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

Rare Power T-Tops! 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

In the late seventies Oldsmobile planned a model that actually appeared in their brochure, but due to some manufacturing problems, only built a small number of them. Apparently, Cadillac made it a reality also on a very small number… more»

Rare Crew Cab Dually: 1986 Chevy K30 Silverado

61k Original Miles: 1986 Chevrolet C-10

With only 61,000 genuine and documented miles on the clock, this 1986 Chevrolet C-10 should have plenty of life left in it. The owner has discovered that there really isn’t room inside for his growing family, so has elected… more»

1-of-40: 1987 De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S
