The Studebaker Hawk
The Studebaker company out of South Bend Indiana was known for its sedate but sturdy styling. It's low slung, sleek and eye catching styling caught the eye of many, including the automotive press which loved it. The Hawk name was branded to these coupes by the mid fifties and it continued successfully into production with some changes through the 1964 model year. Today, Studebaker is best known for the Hawk and later, the much applauded Avanti. Supercharged versions of these cars are rising in value as the buying public sees the value and contribution they made to the car industry.

1966 Plymouth Fury VIP Hardtop
$21,900
A LOADED California car with the optional 383 V8! Sold new and resided in the very ultra wealthy neighborhood of Pacific Palisades (We hold the original owner warranty card.), This car spent a very large majority of it's life on the west coast and it shows.
A fully loaded VIP model. Produced to compete with the Caprice and LTD. Options include but are not limited to...
- AIR CONDITIONING
- POWER WINDOWS
- POWER BENCH SEAT
- 383 V8 ENGINE
- AUTOMATIC TRANS
- REMOTE MIRROR
- RALLEY WHEELS
- VIP PACKAGE
We have this car on consignment for a recently retired and well respected mechanic in the area. he loved this car and has owned it about ten years.
A ROCK SOLID body and undercarriage. No signs of previous body work, ever. A beautiful repaint of the original shade of yellow. The original black vinyl roof was replaced professionally under it's current ownership as was the interior headliner. Both matching factory specs. The seating, dash and carpet are all believed to be original to the car.
Although originally equipped with the optional 383 engine, this car has had an engine replacement at some point but with a correct, 1966 dated 383. At that time, a dual carb intake was added with two Edlebrock carburators and a full custom dual exhaust. This car sounds amazing!
A rare Mopar indeed. A gentleman's muscle car. A bankers hot rod. A nice running and driving car that just needs to be driven and enjoyed. It spends far too much time in a garage not being used. Some issues I noted was an inoperable fuel and temp gauge. Also, although the A/C is all hooked up, it blows warm air. Not perfect but perfectly fine.
Check out the link below for the full gallery of pictures and ask for me to send you a running, walk around video I took.

1949 Studebaker Champion Regal Starlight Coupe
$14,900
A beautiful example of a rare and sought after Studebaker. The Starlight coupe was designed by the famous Raymond Loewy and includes a very unique wrap around rear window design. Some would say that it's difficult to know if the car was coming or going! One thing for sure is that it provides no blind spots. The passenger compartment is almost completely glass. Such a unique and distinguished automobile. Built from 1947 to 1955, just 9,829 Champion Regal Starlight's for the 1949 model year.
This example was beautifully and correctly restored several years ago and has held up phenomenally well. The rich luster deep blue paint still shines with only very minor blemishes that are hardly noticeable. The chrome trim, including the bumpers and grille are in beautiful condition and presumably restored as well. A pair or period dual spotlights round out the look nicely. A body panels are straight, clean and rust free. A super clean undercarriage too.
The pinstripe cloth interior is exceptional. Hardly a flaw to be found. Nice door panels with correct alligator skin upper panels, carpeting, dash, ect are all excellent also. All the gauges work. The original AM radio does not.
Under the hood is a flatheads six that would have been standard on this car with the upgrade of a classic speed shop aluminum head and dual carburators from Edmonds. That's all mated to a smooth three speed manual transmission with a column mounted shifter. Yes, this car IS EQUIPPED WITH OVERDRIVE too. A huge plus.
Newer Coker Classic wide white wall tires. Fully serviced mechanicals , fluids, ect. This car has been used regularly for shows and Studebaker events in the southern New England area. A very turn key, fun car you can enjoy from the start. If you are looking for an inexpensive entry into the classic car hobby, you can't go wrong here. No projects. Just fun and enjoyment and just in time for the car show season.
Check out the link below for a full gallery of pictures and be sure to check out my YouTube walk around video on my Orphan Car Garage YouTube channel. Need transport? That's easy. Live local and want to check it out? That can be arranged too. The first to lay eyes on this car will buy it.

1978 Pontiac Trans Am
$49,000
WOW! Here we have on consignment a real show stopper. A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED Bandit style T/A from the iconic year, 1978.
A 400 4 BBL V8 with a FOUR SPEED manual transmission car! This is THE ONE everyone wants. So rare to find a four speed manual transmission car. They are like hens teeth yet here we have one. Black over black with the golden decal package.
According to the PHS (Pontiac Historical Society), ordered new with the following options...
- Electric Rear Defroster
- Power Steering
- Power Brakes
- Delco AM/FM Stereo
- WS6 Performance Pkg.
- Hood Decal
This car was painstakingly restored by it's previous owner here in Massachusetts. Sadly, that owner passed away before it was fully completed and was unable to enjoy his long life dream. It's most current owner finished the restoration which basically included finishing the install of the non numbers matching 400 V8 (The original engine is present and can be included. It's condition is unknown.). Also, the interior, which was all brand new reproduction parts needed to be installed which has now been professionally done. It's looks absolutely amazing. Better than new.
The exterior of this T/A is superb. A very high quality paint with what appears to be all new, reproduction trim. Wheels and tires are new as well. There was absolutely no expense spared as the owner wanted one of the best.
The car is running, looking and driving like new. Unfortunately we have zero documentation proving money spent on restoration as the family was unable to find any (Probably hidden away on purpose to save the marriage!). All I can say is that just one look at this car will prove the investment and time spent. Known disclosures are that the Fisher Body data plate is not present on the firewall and the factory tachometer and stereo do not operate.
A great car and a true investment as these are continuing and will very likely continue to grow in value as our collectors change generationally.
Just a beautiful car that's extremely hard to find. I highly encourage in person viewing and inspection. You won't believe it.

2005 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Convertible
$5,900. GARAGE SALE SPECIAL!
70,249 MILES....
I purchased this car last February at an online dealer auction site. This car had been recently traded in at a Subaru dealership close to The Villages were it's long term, older owner lived. Assuming from the online report, super clean Carfax showing just TWO owners it's entire life and dealership maintenance history the car would be well sorted out. Well, not so much. Upon it's arrival the car barely ran, was filthy dirty from the transport, the convertible top was inoperable, ABS warning light was on, battery was stone cold dead and the valve colver gaskets were leaking oil. I put the car on hold until spring and we dug in. We replaced the crank sensor which solved the hard start issue. I installed a brand new Die Hard Gold battery. I replaced the right rear ABS sensor which was causing the warning light. We replaced the valve cover gaskets and a PCV hose. I then had the car completely reconditioned, spending added time to bring the all original Alabaster White paint back to life. The car really looks terrific and now runs like a top. Super smooth and quiet with it's Mercedes 3.2 V6. I then put the car on the back burner again as other inventory and projects got in the way. I also drove the car regularly, keeping the mechanicals up to par. I also know first hand that the A/C blows cold and the original Infinity stereo works great.
Fast forward until July. I'm still looking out my office window at it. It's been here since February. I haven't tackled the convertible top issue and now the rear, speed sensitive spoiler is showing a fault code and works when it wants to (It's engineered to raise automatically at 62 MPH). The windshield washer bottle is leaking as well. Also, recently the two power windows will sometimes not want to operate. When that happens, if I use the keyless remote to lock then unlock the doors, the windows will work. Just odd and I don't have the time or the patience anymore. It's got to go. The good thing is also that none of it hampers the driving capabilities of the car.
As for the top. I learned there is a SUPER SIMPLE process to raise and lower it manually. Just needed one special tool to unlatch the rear tonneau cover for the top to stow under. I bought the tool and exercised it. I had the top lowered manually in about 5 minutes!
This car can be used as is and enjoyed or brought to the next level by someone with patience and brains. This car is basically a rebodied Mercedes Benz SLK. If you or someone you know is proficient with German cars, this is your car to make money on. It's just obvious that at this point, that won't be me.
I have an impeccable CarFax report showing just TWO OWNERS AND ZERO ACCIDENTS. Plus TONS of Chrysler dealer service that includes brand new Michelin tires 2K miles ago at the dealer. The former owner certainly loved this car. Purchasing expensive Michelin tires proves that every time.
This Crossfire is one of the cleanest you'll find with an awesome pedigree. A bargain too! Check out the full gallery of pictures in the link below. Also, I have a full YouTube walk around video launching soon. Just know that this car is being sold this cheap because I'm selling it AS IS.

1995 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning
$23,900
Beautiful, impeccable, fastidiously owned first generation F-150 Lightning. Number 2110 of just 2280 produced by the Ford 'Special Vehicle Team'. The first gen Lightening was just a three year run (93-95) are are quickly becoming quite collectible. Only offered in three colors, Oxford White, Bright Red and what we have here, Ebony Black.
This is just a TWO family owned truck. Both being incredibly fussy with big attention to details. It's been said that this truck has never seen a rain drop and I believe it. It's most recent owner bought it in 2013. During his ownership he's replaced the tires (2016), valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, a tune-up using Motorcraft parts only and with the exception of the blue Motorsport ignition wires which were kept because they are period correct and not reproduced and they were / are in fine condition. The previous owner added a tasteful and expensive Cervini fiberglass hood. They also added a water temp and oil pressure gauge to the a-pillar. Tasteful and useful. Looks almost factory installed.
The overall condition of this truck is terrific. Super shiny paint with very few flaws. A few small chips on the front bumper and a very small dent on the right bedside that I'm quite sure can be removed by a good PDR guy. All FIVE wheels are are correct and in great condition. Yes, it's recent owner sourced a matching, original spare wheel.
The interior is spotless. Hardly a flaw to point out but will note some wear on the original leather wrapped steering wheel (see pics). The power lumbar switches on both seats are inop but the bolster power operation does work. Yes, the A/C BLOWS ICE COLD. The stereo is aftermarket and operates fine. Power windows, locks and mirrors all work as designed. A clean, unpainted undercarriage and engine bay.
The truck runs and drives great. Just as you'd expect. You'd swear this truck was 3 years old. Most of these got beat up, abused and left outside. Here is a rare opportunity. If you have been looking at these trucks for very long, you know exactly what I mean.
The truck comes with a clean, Rhode Island title. The odometer shows 94,349 miles. You'd think it should be 4,349.

1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham Coupe
SOLD
Oldsmobile sold over one million cars in 1977 and mostly due to the insane popularity of the Cutlass models that year. It's Colonnade coupe styling has become iconic and pretty much everyone over a certain age nowadays has a memory of a car just like this. That's what's making these so sought after.
Sold new in Plano Texas, this car stayed with it's original family until 1980 were is was moved from Texas to Maryland from the original family. We've got TONS of documentation on this car dating back to day one. A full owner history. The second owners name was Yvonne and she was said to be a Mary Kay lady. She adored this car and kept it for for over 30 years! During her ownership in the twilight years of her possession, she moved the car to Cape Cod Massachusetts. Presumably her retirement. That's how the car made it's way here.
I would classify this car as a real survivor. Wearing most of it's original dark brown paint (There are areas of touch up.) Still has it's original factory ordered pin stripe and even it's factory installed bright door edge guards (It's on the original invoice). The 'Super Stock III' wheels are still present and are also original. Ordered new also with white wall tires as seen here and those have been recently replaced.
The signature Brougham interior is all original and has held up amazingly well. It's very 1970's!
This car was ordered with pretty much every box checked. Fully loaded....
- Power Windows
- Power Locks
- Power Drivers Seat
- Power Antenna (Needs)
- Pulse Wipers
- Full Vinyl Roof Covering
- Sport Mirrors
- Cruise Control
- Rocket 350 V8
- Digital Clock
- Rallye Gauge Pkg
- AM/FM Stereo w/tape
- Super Stock III Wheels
- White Wall Tires
- Floor Mats
- Four Season A/C
- Convenience Group
- Hydra-Matic Trans
The T-Tops (Hatch Roof) option was dealer added in Dallas Texas when the car was new. The company that installed them was called Affiliated Hatch & Sunroof, Inc. They include the vinyl storage bags for the hatch panels when off. A VERY cool feature not often seen on these or any car from this generation. The convertible was dead in America by 1977 so companies were trying to come up with alternatives. These were a very expensive upgrade and to see them on a luxurious Brougham model just is icing on the cake.
The A/C blows ice cold. The power seat, windows and locks all work fine. The gauges all work. The original stereo/tape player is MIA and has been replaced with a custom Retro Sound direct fit stereo with Bluetooth. Works fine. The original power antenna is missing, probably because it stopped working but a new, aftermarket replacement is included with the sale. As is the missing rear bumper fillers and a complete car cover.
This car is completely turn key and reliable. Needs nothing mechanically. Anything that it needed has been done. Recent belts, oil change, tires, starter, spark plugs, brake master cylinder. We have a TON of receipts. Even one from 4/77 asking the dealer to fix a rattling drivers side window which they did with a .39 cent clip under warranty. Fun stuff.
You've got to see the undercarriage pics in the link. It's like FACTORY FRESH under there. It's unbelievable. All outer panels are solid and straight. No signs of repairs, ever. Doors are both rust free too.
The vinyl roof is the weak spot. This car deserves it's original full vinyl roof replaced. It's original and shows it's age. Beyond being dyed. It well deserves a replacement as this car is a true investment. VERY SMALL amounts of surface corrosion present on the outer side of the stainless rear trim molding. It's very minor and also extremely typical of cars of this generation with vinyl roofs. Easily cleaned up when replacing the vinyl. That's it.
We are selling this car with a CT registration as it's transfer document. CT DOES NOT title older cars no matter what. The current registration acts as the legal transfer document in any state. This is common knowledge but sometimes needs explanation. Many states, such at CT do not title cars over a certain age. It's completely legal. I will give you the proper transfer documentation.
A very reasonable ask for such a car. These are and will continue to rise in popularity and value. Get in now while you still can. Check out the link below for the full gallery of pictures and be sure to watch my full YouTube walk around video on my YouTube channel. Need transport? NO PROBLEM!

1979 MGB Roadster
$8,900
Built by British Motor Corporation and marketed as MG, the MGB roadster is iconic and was produced from 1962 through 1980 replacing the MGA roadster. These cars are well known to be one of if not THE first sports car America fell in love with. Everyone you meet will have an MG story. Much like the beloved VW Beetle.
Largely unchanged though the mid to late 70's, the cars remained popular to the end with 16,860 built for this, the 1979 model year. The MSRP was roughly $6,500. Not chump change when you consider the median family income in 1979 was just $17,500.
Here we have a beautifully preserved / restored example. Repainted in correct for 1979, Sandglow. It's sort of a butterscotch color and very appropriate for the time. The body on this car is extremely nice with just a couple of small bubbles in the older repaint as noted in the picture gallery. A SUPER clean and unmolested undercarriage too.
The interior appears to be mostly original with just very minor wear noted. The carpet appears to be a correct reproduction replacement an is like new. Comes with both carpeted and rubber accessory floor mats, correct for the car. The dashboard is very nice too. All the gauges work, even the original clock still ticks! The heater works too for crispy fall motoring through the windy countryside. The aftermarket stereo just recently (this week) stopped working.
Under the hood is a fully rebuilt 1.8 inline four. An upgraded FIVE SPEED MANUAL transmission from a Datsun 280ZX was retrofitted making this car a reliable cruiser, even on the highway! Cruises fine and todays highway speeds. An upgraded Webber downdraft carburator and electric fuel pump helps with easy starting no matter how long it sits. A stainless steel exhaust has been installed as well as a somewhat recent alternator and front disc brakes. Tires are dated 2008 yet look like brand new. This car has been used regularly but sparingly over the past few years. Serviced by a well known British car repair facility local to us who is more than happy to continue it's maintenance for the next owner should he or she be local.
I don't see a lot of these I would consider acceptable for OCG. This one is the exception. I have full confidence in it's abilities and past maintenance and upgrades.

Built by British Motor Corporation and marketed as MG, the MGB roadster is iconic and was produced from 1962 through 1980 replacing the MGA roadster. These cars are well known to be one of if not THE first sports car America fell in love with. Everyone you meet will have an MG story. Much like the beloved VW Beetle.
Largely unchanged though the mid to late 70's, the cars remained popular to the end with 16,860 built for this, the 1979 model year. The MSRP was roughly $6,500. Not chump change when you consider the median family income in 1979 was just $17,500.
Here we have a beautifully preserved / restored example. Repainted in correct for 1979, Sandglow. It's sort of a butterscotch color and very appropriate for the time.
