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.

1998 Chevy Corvette Pace Car Edition
$29,900
SHOW STOPPER ALERT! This is a TWO owner car purchased new in Kentucky close to where it was built. Very obviously purchased to be preserved and kept as new, it's then owner only accumulated about 8,000 miles on the car from 1998 to when he or she sold it in 2005. That's when the second registered owner got it and did about the same! Only driving the car about 1700 miles from then until 2012 when it was sold to a dealer in Massachusetts who kept it, not registering it in his personal collection and was and still is said to be his very favorite car ever! He himself has used it sparingly and only added a couple or three hundred miles. It's staggeringly low current mileage sits at just 10,161!!
The Corvette 1998 Indy 500 Pace Car was a limited edition variant of the C5 Corvette that was offered for the 1998 model year. Created to celebrate the use of the C5 Corvette as the pace car for the 1998 Indianapolis 500, the 1998 Pace Car Edition was only offered in a convertible body style that was painted in Rader Blue with pace car graphics, and featured a distinctive black and yellow interior. These cars were powered by Chevrolet's LS1 engine, which was a 5.7L V8 with an output of 345hp that drove the rear wheels through a 6 speed manual or 4 speed automatic transmission. Only a total of 1,163 examples of the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car were built, with 547 featuring the manual transmission, and 616 featuring the automatic. This is the rarer of the two with a six speed manual transmission.
Just an impeccable specimen. I can't find a flaw anywhere. If you are looking for the best, look no further.
Check out the gallery of photos in the link below. I can honestly say, the pictures don't do it justice! I can easily arrange transport also.

2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 Convertible
$17,900
Here's one you don't see every day. A limited run of just 8,337 WS6 Firebirds were built for model year 2000. This one is an awesome, triple black convertible with a SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. That's checks A LOT of boxes for a lot of people.
We have a squeaky clean Carfax report in hand. Showing zero accidents throughout it's life and just thee family owners. It's original having kept it 12 years and it's most recent having kept it 9. Of those 9 years, that owner only drove the car 1700 miles since 2016! The car currently shows 77,702 miles.
The car looks and runs fantastic. A VERY fast car. Not perfect as upon my inspection, the A/C blowing warm, the right front headlight door is fussy and only raises after a couple of turns of the headlight switch.
The paint and body are gorgeous. Only flaw I could find were some very minor scratches just before the right rear wheel on the 1/4 panel just above the ground effects. Not easy to find. See pics and video.
Top and interior are virtually perfect. Top functions as designed.
The front wheels are correct and factory OE with correct center caps. The rears are a wider, dep dish OE style wheel but are not original and have typical aftermarket wheel pitting in spots but does have the factory original SW6 caps. Other than the rear wheels, I believe but cannot guarantee that the only other non factory upgrade is the exhaust which is still very pleasing. Overall a VERY nice example of a rare and collectible sports car. I am selling this car and many others on the site to help liquidate a large collection. A personal inspection is always recommended as I have not had any personal, hands on experience with the car other than what you see here and have expressed. Overall though, I don't think you can go wrong here.

1979 Dodge D150 Little Red Express
$24,900
Here we have something special. A rarely seen factory custom truck from Dodge. Produced for just two years, 1978 and 1979. During a time when the term, muscle car was a four letter word, these trucks were the exception. At introduction and right from the factory. 0-60 times were under 8 seconds. Just 5,118 were built for the 1979 model year.
This one is special is it's had just ONE registered owner. Purchased at a Dodge dealership in Raynham Massachusetts and kept garaged at his home in the very next town over. He owned this truck until 2023. This truck has never seen a New England winter, ever and very little rain. It was purchased new as a future collector vehicle with foresight. With the exception of the outer bed, the cab of the truck appears to have all it's original paint and decals. Speaking of decals, sometime in the 1980's, the owner purchased two new door decals from the same dealer he purchased the truck from. He never used them and they are still sealed in the original boxes and included in the sale. Pictures of those are in the photo gallery.
Under the hood is the original 360 V8 and that's mated to an automatic transmission. Power steering and brakes plus an original push button AM/FM radio are also present.
This is a rarely seen truck, especially with this pedigree and rust free, clean body. No past body work present as far as I can tell. Lots of original documentation is included as well.
This truck is part of a large collection of vintage and special interest cars I've been asked to help liquidate. I make no claims other than stated above as to any particulars. The truck starts and runs fantastic but I have not driven it on the road. It has a 2021 Massachusetts inspection sticker so we can assume that's the last time it got somewhat regular use. I highly recommend in person inspection on this and the other cars in the collection listed on my site. If that's not possible I will do my best to answer any questions you might have to the best of my ability. I can say though, this appears to be quite fantastic overall. We are selling this with the original owners title. You'll be the second owner.
Check out the link below to the gallery of photos and I do have a short walk round video of the truck running I can share...

1986 Buick Regal Grand National
$28,900
OK. Any 80's car fan will know that other than the 1988 GNX version of this car it's THIS car that many aspire to. Every kid in my high school cafeteria wanted one of these in 1987. Now those kids are old enough and can afford to buy what they wanted then but couldn't have. Ask most motor head guys in their mid 50's or so what 80's car they'd love to own today and most of the answers will be the car we present to you here.
This car has an as new appearance thanks to a full body repaint just last year! Professionally done by a very reputable body shop just outside Boston. This car was stripped to bare metal and repainted beautifully and at a very high cost. All the trim and emblems were replaced then also with correct OE reproductions. A terrific set of the original wheels and a fresh set of BFG Radial T/A's just as it should. You'd swear it was right off the showroom floor!
The original interior is just as nice! Two non factory items to mention is the aftermarket stereo (We do not have the original) and it seems the original selling dealer installed an aftermarket power moonroof. This was not an option on the GN that year so it was obviously added by the dealer, most likely at the original owners request. The sunroof does not operate.
The car runs and drives well and has been used somewhat regularly this past summer. I did notice upon my inspection that the car did exhibit more blue smoke from the exhaust on a cold start than what I would consider normal but it did dissipate after several minutes. The engine itself runs very smooth. Idles nicely. I did see evidence also of a valve cover leak on the right side.
Also of note is that the Carfax shows damage and a total insurance loss from 2014 with the car being sold and retitled in the same state [Massachusetts] in 2017 to a new owner. The body shop that performed the repaint made no mention of any past serous body work so we'll probably never know and unfortunately cars can't talk. In 2014 this car was 27 years old. It didn't take much damage, if hardly any at all to total a 27 year old car. Especially if you didn't have the correct insurance. I suspect is was extremely minor but the report shows what it shows and doesn't give the details we'd like to see. I have a love/hate relationship with Carfax reports. Especially for cars 40 years old nowadays. The dealer we are selling it for tells me his Mass title is free and clear with no branding.
All beinf said and as nice as this car is, I highly recommend an in person inspection on this one. I don't want anyone disappointed and I admit, I'm no expert on these cars. There is no doubt there is more than enough potential on this one! This car will be a bargain for the right buyer.
Check out the gallery of photos in the link below. Feel free to ask questions as well but as I said, I'd much prefer an in person inspection yourself on this one. I believe it's probably well worth your trip..

2002 Ford Thunderbird
$14,900
24,703 actual miles! ONE OWNER. This car is like new, IMMACULATE!
It's like walking into a Ford showroom in 2003 and finding this one year old, 2002 Thunderbird sitting there, center stage. It's that nice of a car. Triple black. Just so darn clean. This one deserves to be garaged, folks. No doubt about it. It's collector quality.
Loaded with a 3.9 V8 under the hood, it runs and drives like new. Silky smooth. Everything works as designed.
Gorgeous paint, trim and wheels. Hardly a flaw to point out. If you are looking for a like new example, look no further. Simply a stunning example.
Check out the full gallery of pics in the link below. Need transport? I can handle that too.

2005 Nissan 350Z Roadster
$14,900
An absolute blast to drive! Clean Carfax with zero accidents and just three owners since new. Tastefully customized with Foose wheels, Brembo brakes and super cool, orange and black mesh seating inside. I thought it was a factory option! A very high end and expensive upgrade that certainly sets this car apart from all the rest.
Super fast with the six speed manual transmission and V6. This car can get you in trouble if not careful!
Fantastic condition overall with hardly a flaw to point out. Obviously well loved it's entire life
Just 87,583 miles too.
Check out the gallery of pictures at the link below. Easy transport can be arranged.

1948 Chevy Stylemaster Business Coupe
$23,900
Just 19,987 ORIGINAL MILES! Unrestored and original car with a known history back to day one.
Purchased new by a single, working woman. It's been said that she literally drove this car to the end of her own street every day to take the train to work. Local weekend errands, ect. Upon her passing in the mid 1960's, the car was put up in dry storage. Decades later revived by a collector. He not only got the car up and running and road worthy again but also added some original accessories such as the correct fog lights, AM pushbutton radio (It works!) and fender skirts.
All original paint, interior and major mechanicals. Some original patina in the paint as seen in the pictures. It's current owner did have the original seats re-stuffed with new cushions but retained the original cloth factory covers! He also added a correct accessory oil filter and also removed the valve cover and oil pan to clean the engine internals. It's like new in there now and we have pictures.
Yes, that's the ORIGINAL SELLING DEALER sticker under the right rear taillight! Puritan Chevrolet Company of Maine. The car has never left the state.
A completely drivable and turn key survivor. Again, just 19,987 ORIGINAL MILES! One look at the car and you too will believe it.
If you are looking for an unusual collector car with low miles, pedigree and is unique, then you found it! Bring it to the next AACA event and be the envy of the judges.
Check out the gallery of photos. You'll get the idea. We can get more pics on request for serious buyers and I do have a good walk around video I can share of the car running. You can barely hear it run. It's that smooth!

1965 Chevy Corvair Monza Convertible
$14,900
If you are a local car show attendee then it's very likely you recognize this car. To say it's recent owner of 10 years enjoyed it's ownership would be a huge understatement.
This car was extensively restored back around 2005-2005. It's restoration was extensive and done with comfort, safety, handling and performance in mind. Comfy Recaro front bucket seats were installed, AFOUR WHEEL DISC BRAKE conversion was performed. Stiffer, lowered springs, thicker sway bars both front and rear as well as performance silicone bushings all around. Larger tires and wheels also. This car was built to look good and go fast. Owned for several years by well known Corvair enthusiasts both in southern California and Florida. It's most recent owner here in Massachusetts purchased the car from Florida in 2015.
Besides what was done before his ownership, it's recent owner has spent a small fortune maintaining this car over the years. This includes but not limited to a full engine rebuild back in 2017. Also, more recently a full, four wheel brake replacement including calipers and rotors, a full recent tune-up with new distributor, electric fuel pump and oil change. We have a HUGE binder of receipts documenting it all, all the way back to it's restoration. Check out the picture in the photo gallery. The amount of paperwork is staggering.
According to the factory data plate, this car was painted Danube Blue when built. Now it's a very cool, Calypso Red borrowed from the BMW paint charts. Although 20 years old, it still gleams like it was applied yesterday. A very professional and expensive job when done. It's still gorgeous.
Under the engine lid is a 140 HP, four carb engine which is non numbers matching. As mentioned this was completely rebuilt in 2017 and runs beautifully with no strange noises, smoke or leaks. All four carburators were recently rebuilt as well.
A full Corsa dash was added at some point and other than the clock, appears to all work properly. Sport mirrors on the doors are an added touch well. They look great. The windows are all tinted for a more aggressive look as well. The top is a premium CLOTH version, not vinyl like most. It's a manually operated top from the factory which I actually prefer over the power. The top is like new (see pics).
The undercarriage, doors, jams and trunk are all extremely clean and solid. Just some very minor surface rust on the trunk floor which will clean up with a wire brush. Rust bubbles are noted at the right rear wheel opening area and well as both outer rocker panels. More so on the right side than left. Some weatherstripping is getting tired as well as the black carpet which shows fading. Again, this is a 20+ year old restoration.
So if you are a purist and looking for perfection, this is not the car for you. If you are a casual collector or just wanting to jump into the Corvair hobby for not a huge investment, this could very well be your car. It's a very turn key car. Very drivable and enjoyable just as is. Far from perfect but perfectly fine as I would say.
Check out the link below for over 100 photos of the car. I also have two short videos I can send of the car running and driving. Need transport? I can handle that too.

So if you are a purist and looking for perfection, this is not the car for you. If you are a casual collector or just wanting to jump into the Corvair hobby for not a huge investment, this could very well be your car. It's a very turn key car. Very drivable and enjoyable just as is. Far from perfect but perfectly fine as I would say.
Check out the link below for over 100 photos of the car. I also have two short videos I can send of the car running and driving. Need transport? I can handle that too.
1985 Mercedes Benz 380SL
$14,900
Very nice, well care for example of the iconic SL. Just 88,590 original miles. Backed up on the clean, accident free Carfax report we hold. Driven just 22K miles in the last 31 years! Very obviously loved and only used on special occasions.
Euro style headlights and a sporty rear spoiler with integrated third brake light (Those were mandated until 1986) are nice additions.
The Classic White paint is all original and shows very nicely. Original dark blue leather interior is still supple and almost wear free. Nice dash, gauges and controls. This is a two top vehicle and the cloth soft op is in amazing original condition (See my YouTube video demonstration of that).
Runs extremely well with it's maintenance being kept up. This includes a cylinder head gasket replacement with complete valve job at 81K miles at a cost of $3,200.
Nice driving cruiser. Not 100 percent perfect but few 40 year old cars are. The original stereo is tired and cranky. The auto temp control works but not to the fullest (see video). Only small blemish on the left front fender front with paint bubbles. Chrome plated wheels show some delamination and pitting. It's recent owner reports that the ABS light sometimes illuminates and his mechanic has been unable to duplicate or find a fault with the system. Again, it's a 40 year old car. Leave it alone....
A very turn key classic with tons of devoted owners and parts / service availability.
Check out how clean this is in my gallery of photos in the link below. Also, as mentioned, check out my full YouTube walk around video on my Orphan Car Garage YouTube channel. I can send you the link if you have trouble finding it. When I look at the others out there, this car is a REAL bargain.

1963 Chevy Corvair Monza Sedan
$8,900. Very nice car! Low miles! Details soon....
1974 MG GT Fastback
$12,900.
47,362 ACTUAL MILES according to our paperwork and inspection.
Here's a SUPER COOL one from across the pond. Sure, you see the MG roadsters all the time but when was the last time you saw a GT fastback? Introduced in 1965, production and sales never quite lived up to it's roadster counterpart so US sales of the GT ended in 1974. 1974 was a divided year as the full rubber bumpers were mandated by the US government for crash protection. That was half way through the model year. Here we have an early 1974 with the traditional and far better looking, classic chrome bumpers.
Here we have an incredibly clean example. The body is straight as an arrow with zero previous body repairs present. It's stunning Bracken Orange paint is original to the car to code but I believe a very high quality repaint was performed at one time in it's past. It's gorgeous with just a very minor chip or scratch her and there but hardly noticeable. The trim, emblems and chrome is all just as nice. Wheels and glass too. The odometer shows just 47,362 miles which we have every reason to believe is true and original. Just no documentation to prove it.
The black cloth and vinyl interior is also very nice. Could be original, I'm not sure. It's almost too nice to be. No cracks in the dash and everything works.
Under the bonnet is a very clean and original engine bay. Housing a 1.8 straight four cylinder and dual carbs. The car just recently came out of short term storage (two years) and was fully gone through and serviced with a brand new brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder and slave assembly. Fresh fuel filters and lines. A very turn key, fun car. No attention needed.
These GT's have become very popular over the last few years and buyers are grasping the rarity and functionality of these little cars. A HUGE support group of other owners and clubs out there too. These make for great collectibles for not a lot of investment.
Check out the full gallery of photos in the link below and be on the lookout for my full YouTube walk around video launching soon. This one won't last long!
