$27,500

This 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sahara shows approximately 217,250 total miles, but its story is defined as much by the documented mechanical work as by the odometer.

1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod

Current Ask
$39,700

The El Camino has always lived in its own lane—part muscle car, part pickup, and all attitude—and this 1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod leans hard into the performance side of that equation. Showing approximately 538 miles, it wears a custom Burgundy finish over a Black Procar interior and packs a 383ci stroker V8 backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. This isn’t a lightly updated cruiser; the build reaches into the engine bay, suspension, braking system, cabin, and supporting hardware to give the first-year El Camino a much sharper, more modern personality while keeping the long-roofline-meets-pickup-bed silhouette that made these cars so memorable in the first place.

This 1964 Ford F-250 Custom Flatbed takes Ford’s classic heavy-duty pickup formula and gives it a distinctly custom personality. Showing approximately 468 miles, it combines a two-tone Mint Green and Dark Green presentation with a custom flatbed conversion, wood stake-side bed, dual rear wheels, and a 390ci V8. Power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, air conditioning, power windows, and a Bluetooth-equipped RetroSound system make it far more accommodating than its vintage work-truck roots would suggest, while the custom detailing throughout gives this F-250 plenty of show-truck character.
