The original owner of this 1968 Corvette purchased it new, drove it for six months, and then sold it to his neighbor. This second owner then drove it fairly sparingly until 1973, when he put it up on stands… more»
Survivor Cars
Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:

Solid Survivor: 1979 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds W30 442
I’m always a bit hesitant to look at an older car and declare it to be rust-free, but the 1979 Oldsmobile 442 shows a lot of promise in that regard. The owner provides a huge catalog of very clear,… more»

Farm Find: 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1
The owner of this Buick GS 455 refers to it as a numbers-matching car with, in his own words, a “crap paint job.” That does seem like a pretty fair assessment, but it still makes this a very desirable… more»

Sharp in Steel Gray: 1984 Dodge Rampage
It’s amazing what the right colors can do for a car. This is technically a truck-let, or pre-90s crossover, but the 1984 Dodge Rampage for sale in San Antonio looks incredibly nice with steel gray paint that still holds… more»

302 Swap: 1975 Ford Courier Pickup
I still count the Ford Courier pickup among the list of project vehicles I’d like to own someday. The older ones in particular, as the later models started to look far more generic. Generic is not a quality you’d… more»

29,500 Miles: 1976 Ford LTD Brougham
The seller purchased this time machine from the original owner’s family when they decided that it was time for the 95-year-old owner/driver to give up her keys. No, it wasn’t the classic little-old-lady-in-Pasadena story, this 1975 Ford LTD Brougham… more»

$150,000 Microcar? 1957 Brütsch Mopetta
Most normal people have certain keywords that they use when they’re searching for cars, like V8, muscle car, 0-60 times, etc. For me, it’s microcar, one-seater, chain-drive, two-stroke pull-start engine, etc. Hey, that sounds just like this 1957 Brütsch Mopetta!… more»

Quad 4 Performance Pack: 1991 Pontiac Grand Am
Pontiac’s Grand Am is one of those vehicles that has quietly disappeared from American roads, no doubt having living out its useful existence in most cases. In fact, any that are still on the road have likely skipped right… more»

$2,450 V8 AC Dart: 1974 Dodge Dart Custom
Other than the giant mandated bumpers front and rear, I really like the formal look of this 1974 Dodge Dart Custom sedan. It has almost a classic 1950s look where a person could wear a hat while driving or… more»

Mysterious Utility: 1992 Isuzu MU
Here in America, lots of things are good. But some things that aren’t include how we are repeatedly sent the crappiest versions of otherwise bad-ass trucks and off-road-friendly rigs that would challenge any Wrangler owner for global wheeling domination…. more»

7,317 Mile Econobox: 1993 Plymouth Colt
When the badge-engineered Colt first appeared on U.S. soil, it was actually a compelling captive import, offering rear-wheel drive and decent looks, combined with wagon variants and later “Silent Shaft” engine technology. As the years wore on, the Colt… more»

Big Block 4-Speed! 1968 Dodge Dart GTS
To hear that a 50-year-old car has no rust on it is music to my ears and to the ears of probably a few million other old car fanatics. Most of us have dealt with rusty cars and it’s… more»

Restored And Ready: 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230S
Some people will look at a project car and be virtually salivating at the prospect of breaking out the grinder, the welder, spanners, hammers, and all manner of workshop equipment. Others choose, for various reasons, to go down the… more»

China Blue Estate: 1983 Mercedes 300TD
While Mercedes’ W123 cars are best known for their ability to tolerate excessive miles and years of neglect, it’s always nice to find one that’s been lovingly preserved. This 1983 model is a desirable longroof model, up for offer… more»

One-Owner 1973 Chevrolet Suburban Super Cheyenne
You can normally tell the sellers that are serious about selling their vehicles. They are the ones that provide a lot of good quality pictures. Of course, it sometimes indicates a dealership selling the vehicle, as in this case…. more»

Stepside Survivor: 1963 Chevrolet Pickup
It’s hard to tell whether this is a lightly restored 1963 Chevrolet Stepside pickup or just a very well maintained survivor. The listing doesn’t break out which category it falls into, but the extremely clean condition makes it appealing… more»
