VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$14,999

This 1924 Ford Model T Touring represents that legacy in one of the marque’s most recognizable body styles, offering open-air motoring exactly as drivers would have experienced it a century ago. Showing TMU (true mileage unknown), this example is presented in classic Red and Black with a Black folding soft top, preserving the unmistakable character of early American transportation.

1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Supercharged

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$23,999

This 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is what happens when a clean SN95 cruiser is transformed into a genuinely serious street machine. While the chassis shows 99,658 miles, the seller reports that the heavily upgraded drivetrain is substantially fresher, with approximately 2,000 miles on the built 347 stroker V8 and fewer than 750 miles on the professionally built transmission. Finished in factory-correct Laser Red Metallic over Saddle with a matching Saddle soft top, this Mustang retains classic mid-1990s convertible charm while packing performance figures that would embarrass many modern muscle cars. With a dyno-reported output of over 450 horsepower at the wheels and more than 510 lb-ft of torque, this is not a casual bolt-on build—it’s a purposefully assembled forced-induction street car for enthusiasts who appreciate old-school supercharged V8 brutality.

1977 Chevrolet Corvette LT1

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$29,990

The C3-generation Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the most iconic eras in American sports car history, instantly recognizable for its dramatic curves, long hood, and unmistakable road presence. By 1977, Chevrolet had refined the formula into a more comfortable grand touring machine while preserving the unmistakable V8-powered character that made the Corvette a household name. This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, showing approximately 65,005 miles, presents as an appealing example that combines classic styling with thoughtful performance-minded upgrades. Finished in eye-catching Light Blue over a Light Buckskin interior, this Corvette offers far more than stock appeal thanks to a replacement 350ci LT1 V8, upgraded 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission installed in 2023, and a newer dual exhaust system. For buyers seeking a C3 that retains its vintage charm while benefiting from modern drivability enhancements, this Corvette strikes a compelling balance between nostalgia and usability.

1990 Nissan 300ZX

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$19,990

The Z32-generation Nissan 300ZX remains one of the defining Japanese sports cars of the 1990s, representing the era when Japanese automakers were fiercely competing to build technologically advanced grand touring machines that could challenge European rivals. Introduced for the 1990 model year, the redesigned 300ZX brought sharper styling, improved chassis dynamics, and a far more sophisticated drivetrain than its predecessor. This particular 1990 Nissan 300ZX Coupe 2+2 shows approximately 42,461 miles, making it an especially appealing example for enthusiasts seeking a relatively low-mileage Z32 with the added practicality of the longer-wheelbase 2+2 configuration. Finished in Cherry Red Pearl and equipped with a 5-speed manual, removable T-top roof panels, and tasteful performance upgrades including a Greddy cat-back exhaust and aftermarket injectors, this is the kind of analog Japanese sports car that continues to gain appreciation among collectors.
