Today we have an amazingly original and of course low mileage Fox Body Mustang SVO. These cars were built in response to the growing interest in European sport coupes domestically. The powerplant for these cars is a turbo charged 2.3L 4 cylinder that had it’s first success in the Ford Cosworth Sierra’s, aka Merkur XR4ti domestically. The interior and exterior have distinct differences from the other Mustangs of the day and are easy to spot: double wing in the back, the flat face rims, fresh air intake on the hood, the flush headlights and unique front fascia to name a few.
Quote from the seller:
A must see rare, low mileage, 1 owner 1986 SVO (Special Vehicle Operations) Mustang. This is a 1 owner, garage stored, SVO Mustang with 9,350 original miles. This car was purchased new in 1986 and is the last year the SVO was produced. I have all of the books and information that came with the car. It has been driven only limited miles each year, never in winter or rain. It does not have any rust and is absolutely amazing. It has been stored in a cement floor garage, except when it was drove.The car is in like new condition and I am pretty sure there is not another one like it for sale. I will do my best to explain the car and its condition.
My college roommate had an 88 LX 5.0 with 5 speed. A very fast car but he often remarked that he’d like to have the lighter, better suspended, and better balanced SVO any day.

What an incredible survivor! The photos really show how well preserved this car really is.
This 4th generation Olds 88 is the value trim level known as the Dynamic. It was the entry level model for an upscale marque. For 1960 it featured a detuned version of the Rocket trim level 371ci motor, sporting only 240hp but allowing it to run on cheaper low octane gas (the Rocket had 315hp).
quote from the seller:
Having covered only 16,000 miles since new, and having remained in the same family for 50 years, this 1960 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 “Bubbletop” is truly a time capsule and epitomizes the term “survivor” in every sense of the word. It is entirely original and unrestored, including the paint, chrome, trim, upholstery, carpet, dash, headliner, glass, trunk etc., which are all virtually new. In fact, the upholstery remained covered in plastic from the time the car was brand new until April of 2011, preserving its perfect originality. The removal of the plastic seat covering was photographed and dated, and the original seat covers are included in the sale of the car. The car starts, runs, and drives exactly as one would expect of a vehicle with only 16,000 miles.
The description is particularly short because there are no excuses to offer other than a small crack on the drivers side armrest.
The sale of this Oldsmobile includes the original warranty manual with the original Protect-O-Plate, the original key fob with the dealers name embossed in the leather, the original seat covers, and several receipts for routine maintenance.
These vehicles have become particularly collectible over the past five years with prices escalating accordingly. This is a rare opportunity to acquire what is likely the best original example in existence. Remember, “They can only be original once.

This C-Series Dodge truck sports an amazing 14.5k miles and though it doesn’t wear factory original paint, it is the paint it was shot with when after purchasing new. In doing my research on this rig, it looks like this is either a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck fitted with the standard I-6 L head 230ci 110hp motor. Personally I’d want to use the flatbed portion of this reg for limited duty and might consider removing the A-Frame rear end attachment that was added later in it’s life. As with previous trucks we’ve posted, I can see this being a great vintage hauler, keg delivery truck, or even parade attendee where an entire club could hang out in the back.

This one owner one-of-a-kind collector’s truck looks restored but it is actually in original condition, it was given its Orange Solomonson Company paint job when it was brand new, you could say paint is original but not factory. Came from the factory bright red, which can still be seen in the cab. Stated mileage of 14,523 is actual and original. Truck has been lovingly cared for and stored indoors since new which explains its great condition. Equiped with heavy duty Braden Winch, rear A-frame (was added by the owner in 1992), still has its original chain hold-downs and other accessory equipment. Interior is original and in pristine shape. In the ’90s until the owner passed truck was a favorite at local yearly “World Series of Cars” car shows. Local pickup obviously, buyer to make all arrangements. Motor has not been started for a few years now so you will not want to drive it at pickup.

As the muscle car era started winding down, the Camaro was still going strong for 1971. This one is largely original and has the desirable RS and Z28 option packages from the factory. The owner has a very detailed listing and the biggest issue is that it doesn’t have complete documentation. But the seller is very transparent about the car and with a 3rd party inspection this could be a great buy.
1971 Chevrolet Camaro RS/Z28 for sale on eBay
quote from seller listing:
One of the many desirable things about this car is that it is a true Z28. It is also a true Rally Sport and not a modified “split bumper”! Another desirable feature about this car is the low mileage. I too, was skeptical about it being true, but I did not find the wear on the parts that I would expect to find it on when I restored the car. The brake pedal pad, for example, shows little wear, the car still has the functioning front spiral shocks, the original steering part are tight, and the list could go on! I also removed a 1992/3 license plate and a corresponding state inspection sticker from when it was last driven, and the sticker clearly states the mileage at that time as being only 15,928. When I purchased the car in December 2006 from the second owner, who only brought the car home and parked it in his garage, it had 17,209 on it. Now I consider the next feature desirable, where some may not, because I don’t care to have my car be like everyone else’s! This car was ordered with the automatic, but without the optional console. The original owner’s girlfriend wanted to sit right next to him without sitting on a hard and fragile console! You wouldn’t believe some of the discussions I’ve had at car shows. Some “know-it-all” people say the car is a clone because GM would not have built a Z28 wit a column shifter. To which I reply, why would I try to fool people in cloning the car and stop short by not adding a simple console? There are a lot of SS Chevelles out there with column shift automatics and the reason is that GM did not have a floor mounted automatic shifter except the one where the mechanism had to be hidden by a console! I have met a gentleman who is a retired GM executive who worked at the Norwood plant. He still owns his 1970 Z28 that he ordered the same way. He personally knows that there were only nine (9) Z28’s that left the Norwood Plant in 1970 built that way! He wasn’t certain how many were built in 1971, but said the quantity would probably be very similar. I’ve restored the car as original as possible to maintain its integrity, but if you’d like, I have a fairly complete console that is available if you’d like to switch add one. For all I care after it is sold, you can install a complete five (5) speed kit from Classic Industries.
The only documents that I have are: 1) the original title; 2) the original sales contract; 3) a receipt for insurance (required to guarantee the GMAC loan would get paid off in case of any type of accident involving the owner and/or the car); 4) a card stating the GMAC loan was paid off; and 5) the license plate and the state inspection sticker mentioned above. All other documentation has been lost or destroyed over the years. I have totaled the costs of the options the car came with, and have come within $25.00 of the sales price.
Outside, the car has a base coat/clear coat paint job. Most of the chrome and bright work are new. The windshield is new, the back window is original and in good condition, and the door windows are also original and in fair condition. The weather stripping and rubber bumpers are new. The “street tires” that I have are four (4) new BFGoodrich Radial T/A 215-60-15 tires mounted on two (2) oval valve stem hole wheelsand two (2) round valve stem hole wheels (there is no spare) with some reproduction trim rings and reproduction center caps. The “show tires” that I have are five (5) new Goodyear Polyglas F-60-15 tires mounted on the original oval valve stem hole wheels (the spare is mounted on a later round valve stem hole wheel) with original trim rings and original raised bow tie center caps.
Inside, the car has a new dash pad, headliner, seat covers, door panels, package tray, and carpet. The original AM radio works poorly but has one (1) new front speakers and one (1) new rear speaker. The new speakers may be the reason the radio works poorly! I’ve added an oil pressure gauge for safety monitoring precautions. The car also has the original jack and plastic jack cover that will be available to the buyer at an additional price
Mechanically, the car has had the carburetor rebuilt, the engine rebuilt (the cylinders were bored .030 over), the transmission rebuilt, and the posi-differential with the original 3.73 gears serviced. The car has a new master cylinder, two (2) new rear brake cylinders, and a new fuel pump. I’ve kept the original fuel pump in case you know someone to rebuild it. As I mentioned before, the car still has the original front spiral shocks. The car has a new exhaust system using a transverse mounted Flowmaster muffler similar to the one originally used. The sound is fantastic and a lot more interesting to listen to than the radio!

Now this is a fine piece of machinery, and look at the size of it! This sucker would look at home on the set of Casino or Goodfella’s with a large, cigar smoking, well suited individual giving the nod on major jobs within the “organization”.
In all seriousness, the mileage is amazing, but the way this car has obviously been taken care of is even more amazing. This looks new, plush, and truly luxurious — even 35 years later.

While not showroom fresh, this is a very complete work van in amazing original condition. This would be a great delivery truck for a brewery, hauler for your vintage motorcycle, or platform for your next restomod project.
1967 GMC Handy Van on eBay
Following the G20 SportVan I posted earlier, this van is of the same blood lines. 1967 was the first year for the 2nd generation ChevyVan. Along with a few cosmetic changes also came the options for a longer wheelbase version and a V8. This appears to be the long wheelbase option but utilizes one of the inline six engines.
From the seller:
rear of the van was done. I have the original registration, platers, dealer bill of sale, window sticker, even the dealers key chain. The van has some minor dings and scratches but is still the original paint and interior. In fact the only items not original are the battery,tires and muffler. We still have the tires but they have flat spots in them. the muffler has a rust hole and the original exhaust pipes are still on it. We did not repair the hole in the roof where the refrigeration roof condenser was. I have never seen anything kept so long in such great shape. Although there is some minor sctraches and dings I could not bring myself to do any restoration. This van really belongs in a museum or a serious collector. The pictures speak for themselves. I got it with 5,700 miles on it. We drove it to local car shows so it now has 6,300 miles on it. It drives down the road like a brand new van.

Time to get out on the shag carpet, turn up the 8 track, and boogie down in this 1979 G20 Sportvan. This one features the rare factory stripe kit and the 5.7L V8. I’d personally waste no time in throwing on the side pipes and glasspacks, not to mention some mag wheels and white letter tires. Not to mention this bad boy has less than 3k original miles! Make sure to click through to the no reserve auction which the owner has provided a very thorough description for.
1979 Chevrolet G20 Van Sport Van for sale on eBay
quote from seller’s listing:
This is an extremely nice, rare, and low mileage van! It runs and drives like a new van, has ice cold A/C, all power options work (yes, even the cruise control), and has all the right options. This thing would be SO SWEET with the interior “shagged” out, maybe a mini bar and a couch or bed, or use van to haul a motorcycle around, or could be great for advertising with a business logo on the side. The back is fully insulated and has 2 layers of carpet padding over a plywood floor. In the four months I have owned it, I have put about 500 miles on it driving back and forth to work in the south Florida heat with the A/C blasting and the temp gauge has never gotten over 180 and it has never skipped a beat. I’ve had it on the highway at 80 mph and it doesn’t rattle, shake, or do anything you would expect from a 32 year old van. I would not hesitate to get in this van and drive it to California or anywhere else with no problems.

How cool is this old Microbus? I love the color, I love the custom interior, and most of all the incredible 11720 original miles! As evidenced by the recent $100k+ sale price of that 23 window bus at Barrett-Jackson, these are gaining attention by collectors and it’s about time they get their due!

The 89 Carrera is the last of the 911′s that shared the impact bumper look dating from 1974. The 964 was introduced for the 89 model year as the Carrera 4, but the two wheel drive 911′s were still the older generation for this year. Naturally the last of it’s generation, it benefits from over 15 years of development in that body style including the G50 transmission. This example has an astounding 18k miles from new and only two owners.

As I’ve mentioned before, I really try to let the mileage dictate what ends up on this site and I think this Jeep is a nice way to mix it up. The ad mentions that this car was parked at a vacation house and used sparingly. The originality is astounding and I love the affordable entry price of $16.5k. It even has the original tires!
quote from seller’s listing:
This unique CJ7 was purchased new in 1976 by a wealthy family for use at their vacation ranch in Washington State. It was used for several weeks each year, and stored the remainder of the year in a dry heated garage. It is equipped with the legendary Borg Warner T18 transmission and 258 cu. V6 combination. This generally thought to be the most rugged of all engine/transmission combinations available on the CJ7. Everything is original on this Jeep, including the tires. Probably a good idea to put new tires on if you plan to do a lot of highway driving as these are 35 years old. The vehicle is still tight, and runs beautifully. The upholstery is original and still looks new. A factory installed Ramsey 24,000 pound winch gives this CJ7 a go-anywhere capability. There are a few dings and scratches (as one would expect with a Jeep), but the overall condition is fantastic. The original factory soft top (not pictured) is also in excellent condition with no rips, tears, or fading. A roll bar (pictured) is included, and can be easily unbolted and removed if desired. There were not many CJ7′s built with the classic side mounted spare configuration. This, along with the super low mileage, completely stock condition, and first year of the model, make this a true collectors item. I have owned the vehicle for 2 years and have driven it less than 200 miles. I have always loved Jeeps (just bought a 2011 Grand Cherokee) but unfortunately have too many vehicles and not enough time or garage space
