Pick of the Day: 1995 BMW M3 sedan, all-original with crazy low mileage

Starting in 1992, BMW spiced up its E36 3-series to transform it into a veritable sports car available in coupe, convertible or sedan form.  Its straight-six powerplant leveraged a cast-iron block, aluminum heads and variable-valve timing to produce what was at the time an impressive 240 horsepower.

Nearly 30 years later, most M3s of that era have long-since been used up and gone away, especially those in unmodified original form.  So the Pick of the Day, a 1995 BMW M3 sedan, is something of a unicorn: a one-owner car with an exceptionally low 3,288 miles on its odometer and apparently a like-new all-original car.

“In perfect condition, a 1995 Alpine White BMW M3 with Dove Gray leather upholstery,” the private seller in Burlington, Wisconsin, says in the advertisement on ClassicCars.com. “This M3 is a time capsule with just under 4,000 miles.  It resides with its original owner since purchase from the dealership.”

The base price on a new 1995 BMW M3 was $36,620.  That comes out to an inflation-adjusted $65,599.54 in 2021.  The seller offers this essentially “new” 1995 M3 for a price that’s inflated even more from the MSRP.  That asking price is $75,000.

Yes, that’s a lot, but this is a highly unusual example of a great model.  And as the saying goes among car collectors, “Try to find another one.”

The sheer existence of a sub-4,000-mile German high-performance sports coupe is remarkable enough to warrant a look at the pictures and description included in the listing.  Speaking of which, keen BMW aficionados will note the red-and-blue checkerboard graphics affixed to the nose and rear of the car.

These decals were designated solely for a revered group (with a production run of just 126 examples) of E36 M3s called “Lightweights,” which were improved track-focused models that shed about 200 pounds when compared with stock models.

This M3 not a factory Lightweight, and the seller notes that thankfully, the decals can be removed by the new owner if desired.  Aside from the faux graphic treatment, this M3 appears to retain its factory-spec configuration.

“The vehicle has all-original body panels with VIN tags intact… always kept in a climate-controlled building with a factory BMW car cover,” the seller says, adding that best of all, it “still smells new.”

A fitted car cover is included with the sale.  As fun as this M3 must be to drive, it will likely continue spend the rest of its life tucked away beneath it.  In which case, this “ultimate driving machine” may be better referred to as an “ultimate museum artifact.”

Pick of the Day: 1959 Cadillac Sedan de Ville, pink and proud of it

The late 1950s were the peak era for peak tailfins, and Cadillac models were prime examples of just how bold the styling became.  The Pick of the Day is a 1959 Cadillac Sedan de Ville advertised on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Parma, Idaho, with pink paint for days.

“Good straight car, body is very straight, paint is in decent shape, with a few small scratches and paint chips,” the listing states.  

This as a “flat-top” car, the seller states, describing the roofline.  In all, Cadillac offered 12 different body styles for the 1959 year, and this one was originally marketed as the four-window Sedan de Ville.  As such, it was one of about 12,000 of its kind produced for the year, each weighing a hefty 5,000 pounds, and wearing wide-whitewall tires and miles of chrome trim.

It’s worth noting that the official Cadillac paint chips for 1959 appear to make no mention of the word “pink.”  The closest shade looks to be Wood Rose (code 49), although pop culture has made the notion of a bright-pink 1959 Cadillac something of an obsession. They even mass-produce diecast model cars of the same.

The de Ville model ran from 1959 through 2005, so this example was the first of its kind.  From a styling perspective, it’s a tough car to mistake, particularly from the rear end.  Iconic tailfins with bullet-style taillights evoked a sense of speed with space-age flair that was modern and trendy at the time.  Power came from a 390cid V8 that produced 325 horsepower.  And at 225 inches in length and 2-and-half tons, this big sedan needed all the power under the hood it could get. 

CadillacCadillac

Based on the photos that accompany the listing, this de Ville looks to be well-preserved both inside and out.  The seller states that the car has very minimal rust for its age, and that the mechanical roadworthiness is intact. 

“Transmission shifts as it should,” the listing states.  A slow oil leak is noted, however.  While the listing does not state the specific mileage, the car has reportedly not been driven much over the seller’s five years of ownership.

CadillacCadillac

No pink Cadillac story is complete without paying homage to the late Aretha Franklin and to Bruce Springsteen, who both had hit albums in the 1980s making mention of pink Caddys.  This de Ville might be just the right car to help you discover what the rage was all about.  And if it doesn’t fit in your driveway, you could always settle for the diecast version.

The seller is asking $20,000 for this full-size version, or best offer.

Pick of the Day: 1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo that will really speak to you

Decades before Apple Carplay and Android Auto could make a car interactive, and give it a voice, Datsun was mass-producing talking cars.  In the early 1980s, the Maxima and 280ZX were having one-sided conversations with their drivers in short phrases, such as “Parking brake is on” and “Lights are on.”

Around that same era, Chrysler had similar technology in its LeBaron – most notably for the phrase, “A door is ajar.”

datsundatsun

The Pick of the Day is a well-preserved 1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo that not only still has its functional voice box but has an almost entirely original drivetrain to go along with it.  At 38 years old and 145,000 miles, this Z has without a doubt treated its prior owners to many enjoyable T-topless experiences. But the seller is confident that it is mechanically sound and ready for many more.

“Starts every time, and all options work including the talking car feature,” says the seller, a private owner in Burgaw, North Carolina, advertising the Datsun on ClassicCars.com. “Vehicle does not smoke, drip or burn any fluids.”

datsundatsun

The 280Z has been with its current owner for seven years and is said to have originated in California.  It received a cosmetic refurbishment between 2014 and 2015 which included a fresh red paint job and a new interior.  Most importantly, the Datsun is still powered by its original turbocharged 2.8-liter inline-6.  The only non-factory equipment on the vehicle is a modified catalytic converter and a stage two clutch, according to the seller.

The 280ZX launched in 1979 as Datsun’s replacement for its first-generation Z-car and was branded as a Fairlady Z in some parts of the world.  It saw a facelift for model year 1982 that incorporated a different wheel design, revised B-pillar garnish, and rubber bumper overriders.

In the turbocharged variant, the 5-speed-equipped Z was capable of a zero-to-60 time of fewer than 8 seconds, putting it right in line with supercars that had far higher price tags.  By 1984, the 280ZX name would disappear as Datsun replaced it with the all-new 300ZX, so this example represents the last of its generation.

This Datsun’s ever-present robotic voice might be one way to make the driving experience feel a little less lonely, and the seller seems eager to see it go to a good home.

“I would like to see this vehicle go to someone who appreciates these cars and plans on keeping it original and preserving it,” the listing states.

The asking price for the car is $16,300.

Pick of the Day: MGB Limited Edition came only in black

If you are making your first classic car purchase and have always wanted a British sports car, my answer as to what to buy is always the same. Start with an MGB. 

The reason is that despite some people’s opinions to the contrary, the MGB was always an extremely well-built car for the era and they are the easiest classic British sports car to own. The parts are inexpensive, the mechanicals are simple, and they are easily able to cope with modern roads and traffic, having adequate performance and enough comfort to use as a daily driver. 

They were so good that from 1962-1980 MG built 512,243 of them. This represents the world record for production of a British roadster.

The Pick of the Day is a car from the end of the fun of the MGB, a 1980 MGB Limited Edition.

The Limited Edition MGB was a marketing idea dreamed up by British Leyland and its American MG distributorship in Leonia, New Jersey, to boost slipping sales in the North American market. The advertising campaign, as well as such details as the side stripes on the car, were dreamed up by Marce Mayhew, the creative director of Reach McLinton, MG’s advertising agency. 

The production period of the North American version “LE” was only 1979 and1980. And all of the cars were black in color.

But why black cars? 

Apparently there was an agreement between Leonia and the MG dealers across North American that the “LE kit” would be only installed on black cars and to buy a black car of that time period, it could only be a Limited Edition. 

The car was introduced at the 1979 New York auto show and was slated to have a production of only 5,000 units. However, 6,668 were produced during the two-year run.

The MGB Limited Edition were offered with Champagne, Beige, Autumn Leaf or black interior. In addition, they all featured a leather-covered steering wheel, silver side striping, a Limited Edition plaque, rear luggage rack, GKN alloy wheels, and a front spoiler.

The Pick of the Day is offered by a dealer in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The dealer says the car has been driven only 44,000 miles from new and has its original paint and interior. It adds that the paint is exceptional, the underside is rust free, and that the interior looks like a time capsule, as though the car was never used.

The only change to the car is the addition of a Weber 2-barrel side-draft carburetor replacing the anemic Stromberg it had when delivered. This should make up for some lost performance and if you want to go back to the original carb setup this would be an inexpensive thing to do. I would not, the Stromberg robs performance from a car that can use the performance boost.

This car also includes all of its original accessories, including a matching alloy spare wheel, original full tool kit, and original tonneau and boot covers. It also has a British Motor Heritage Trust certificate which certifies the specifications of the car as being correct.

As an added bonus, this is also an overdrive-equipped car which makes for a much nicer driving experience on the freeways. 

The asking price for this 1980 MGB Limited Edition is $17,900, very reasonable for a car this original and well preserved. I would have a good detailer work on the car and then I would drive it to shows in 2021 and enjoy the last of the classic MG sports cars.

Pick of the Day: 1987 Porsche 944 in preserved driver condition

porscheporsche
The Porsche wears its original paint in rare Malvern Red

What is so special about Porsche sports cars? Well, they combine tremendous build quality, sound engineering and are always fun to drive, which has made Porsches among the most desirable cars in the world, either on the classic market or as new cars.

That popularity has meant that many classic models have become less and less affordable.  There are still a few accessible classic Porsches, though, and one of those is a car that might be one of the best cars they built in the 1980s, the Porsche 944.

The 944 was introduced in 1982 as a replacement for the 924, the first of Porsches front-engine, water-cooled sports models known as transaxle cars because of their rear-mounted transmissions to enhance weight balance.  The 924 had great handling but lacked in acceleration and top speed.

Porsche took exterior styling cues from the racing 924 Carrera GT and applied those to the 924 body along with a completely new Porsche-designed 2.5 liter inline-4-cylinder engine, which was basically half the V8 engine from the Porsche 928. The 944 was an immediate hit with both journalists and customers, and Porsche would sell 163,192 of them during a 10-year production run.

porscheporsche

The Pick of the Day is a 1987 Porsche 944 coupe, part of the second-generation introduced in the middle of 1985 that featured an upgraded more-modern interior as well as an improved suspension.

This Porsche is largely original, according to the Morgantown, Pennsylvania, dealer advertising the coupe on ClassicCars.com. The factory paint is rare Malvern Red, while the original Linen interior looks very intact. From the photos with the ad, the paint and interior appear to be in perfect condition with no visible flaws. An added bonus is that the dash has no cracks due to age. Total mileage on this 944 is 111,000 miles, the seller says.

porscheporsche

The seller notes that the undercarriage is in good shape with only slight surface rust. These cars were zinc galvanized from the factory and rust on an original-paint car is rarely if ever an issue.

I love the 944 as a model and feel it is one of the best GT cars that Porsche has ever built. I like the cars so much I actually bought one and drove it from Connecticut to Monterey, California, a few years back.

porscheporsche

These Porsches are usually excellent deals as collector cars, and this preserved example in a rare color and an asking price of $13,500 offers a lot of Porsche excellence for the money.

Pick of the Day: 1955 Ford Fairlane Victoria named Buck

fordford
The Fairlane in a motel scene that could have come straight from 1955

Meet Buck, the 1955 Ford Fairlane Victoria named after its two-tone paint scheme of Buckskin Brown and Snowshoe White.  The Pick of the Day, Buck is offered for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Dallas, Texas. 

 “Tri-Five” 1955-1957 Chevrolets are notoriously among the most widely recognized of classic cars, while Ford models of the same era have remained in relative obscurity.  Ford appeared to be trying hard to gain market share any way that it could; the 1955-56 Fords were offered in a remarkable nine different body styles spanning sedans, hardtops, convertibles and station wagons.  The hierarchy from entry-level to top-drawer consisted of Mainline, Customline and Fairlane.

fordford

This ’55 Fairlane Victoria hardtop has a 3-speed, column-shifted transmission linked with its 272cid Y-Block V8 engine.  Buck’s listing, or biography as it were, indicates that the odometer reading of 31,000 miles could very well be the actual mileage of the car given its original cosmetic and mechanical condition.  The owner refers to the Ford as “a smooth, reliable ride every time,” and says that it delivers a “pleasurable driving experience.”

The seller goes on to emphasize that the overdrive works well and that the car is a solid cruiser with a nice rumble from the exhaust system.  Everything on the dashboard, even the vintage five-button radio, is said to be fully functional.  The electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts and new wide whitewalls (including the spare tire) were installed in July 2019. 

“I love this car and have taken special care of it,” the seller says in the ad. 

That pride of ownership is evident not only in the description but in the creative mid-century photo opportunities sought out for the listing.  A six-minute YouTube video accompanies the listing and showcases the Ford’s condition. 

The seller is asking $30,000 to make Buck part of your family.

Pick of the Day: 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix Richard Petty Edition

pettypetty
Only 1,000 examples of the Richard Petty Edition were produced by Pontiac in 1992

Richard Petty, now 83, is a man who knows how to drive.  With hundreds of race wins under his belt over a 34-year professional career, Petty set a lot of records.  Among them, the first driver to win the NASCAR Cup Championship as well as the Daytona 500 seven times each.  He was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2010 as one of the sport’s most acclaimed racers.

But something Petty-related that many folks don’t know is that Pontiac made a special edition of the Grand Prix coupe specifically to commemorate his retirement in 1992.  The Pick of the Day is a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix Richard Petty Edition coupe that’s been driven just 524 miles, advertised by an O’Fallon, Illinois, dealer on ClassicCars.com.

pettypetty

The Richard Petty Edition, limited to only 1,000 cars, was available in red, white or blue and came with a handful of upgrades that set it apart from the run-of-the-mill Grand Prix.  A badge with Petty’s signature was just the beginning; this Grand Prix also came with unique ground effects, a spoiler and a button-activated feature that allowed the automatic transmission to start in second gear.  A five-speed manual was also available for the Richard Petty Edition.

The fifth-generation Grand Prix is referred to as the W-body.  It lived from 1988 through 1996 in both coupe and sedan form, and it came with a variety of engine configurations.  Powering this Grand Prix is a 3.4-liter quad-cam V6 that produces 210 horsepower, which at the time were good numbers for an everyday sports coupe – good enough that Petty signed his name to it. 

pettypetty

In fact, the dashboard of this Pontiac has Petty’s actual signature, right next to a “fan appreciation tour” badge.  The coupe also has perhaps one of the oddest accessories to be offered with any collector car: a Petty-signed race tire in its trunk. 

While specific production numbers of Petty Edition Grand Prix in the various colors and configurations are not published, it’s safe to say that any 28-year-old collector car with just 524 miles on it is an exceedingly rare find – let alone with this kind of celebrity tie-in.

The dealer is asking $21,500 for this piece of race history. NASCAR fans should have plenty to get excited about here.

Select of the Day: 1976 Triumph TR6 with low mileage and also roadster style

triumph victory The TR6 is a good-looking sports car powered by an inline-6 The Triumph TR6 was a notable peak for little cars from the U.K., a handsome as well as effective roadster that put some modern-day panache right into the British practice. The designing and also mechanicals were intended directly at the U.S. market, with more than 90 percent of the nearly 92,000 created exported from England, the majority of bound for America. The Pick of the Day is a 1976 Triumph TR6 from the last year of production. The TR6 released in 1968, essentially as an update of the Giovanni Michelotti-designed TR4 and the subsequent TR5(TR250 in the U.S.)that spearheaded the 6-cylinder drivetrain found in the TR6. This TR6 is a rare low-mileage survivor, as the majority of these autos racked up loads of miles driven with brio by fanatic proprietors. With just 42,000 miles on the odometer, this Triumph reveals a high degree of treatment and also upkeep over its thought two-owner life time.” Everything on this automobile remains in superb functioning order,”according to the North Royalton, Ohio, dealer advertising the Triumph on

With a body updated by Karmann of Germany, the trademark attribute of the TR6(other than its plus-size wheels and tires) is the 2.5-liter inline-6. These were not giant engines, generating simply 101 horsepower, yet a decent 143 pound-feet of torque with a smooth

, throaty distribution make them feel solid and stylish. The Triumph is evidently all-original with a solid, corrosion cost-free body with good glass and also trim. The seller shows some closeup pictures of dings as well as scratches, though relatively absolutely nothing major, with various other photos showing the clean undercarriage. Those substantial rubber bumper guards mandated by the DOT are really unfavorable, however.

The engine just recently obtained a major service that included the head being removed, cleaned up and also magnafluxed, a complete shutoff job as well as installation with a fresh head gasket, the seller says.

“The motor begins simple, it sounds smooth, shifts superb, stops, steers, and also runs magnificently,”the dealer says in the advertisement. “It can truly be driven with full self-confidence and also reliability.” While modern-looking, the supports of the TR6 continue to be rooted in the very early days of the TR4, and the feel of the roadster is decidedly vintage despite the enhancement of independent rear suspension(like the later-model TR4A and TR5). Many followers love that tight classic feel, as well as the cars and truck’s extraordinary cornering.

This low-mileage example is modestly valued at $15,900.

Pick of the Day: 1979 Chrysler LeBaron, the allure of velour

If ever a car were to deliver the ride comfort of a living-room sofa, it might be the 1979 Chrysler LeBaron.  It takes just one look at the plush velour front seat to envision what it might feel like to float along on the interstates in smooth isolation.�

The Pick of the Day is a low-mileage, well-kept-original 1979 Chrysler LeBaron Medallion from a private seller in Paintsville, Kentucky, advertising the car on ClassicCars.com.  This lush 2-door “personal luxury car” might have you plotting a cross-country summer adventure in a mode of transportation that has way more leg room than a first-class flight.

The LeBaron name dates back as far as the 1930s and has always been associated with luxury and sophistication.  Chrysler became affiliated with it in 1953 and went on to apply the nomenclature to high-end Imperial models for a couple of decades.  By 1977, the LeBaron became a model in itself, and it lived on in various generations until being phased out after 1994.�

LeBaron shares a platform with its sibling Dodge Aspen, but with a different body and higher-class target market.  With just 52,000 miles on the odometer, this car with its 225cid slant-6 engine should have lots of life left, and the cosmetic condition of the car appears consistent with that reading.  The windshield, tires and battery have all been replaced, according to the seller.�

As an added bonus to a collector, the car comes with supporting documentation including the MSRP sticker, brochure, build sheet and original sales contract.  Aside from some light cosmetic detailing needed as well as an AC conversion, the seller seems confident in its roadworthiness and offers to supply a video of the car running. 

This 1979 LeBaron is one of the last of its kind, since as the 1982 model moved to a front-wheel-drive Chrysler K platform.  And with that reengineering, the LeBaron also shrunk in every direction. �

World-class room and comfort were definitely at a high point in 1979, and this low-mileage LeBaron might be one of the few still on the road, boasting that couch-like ride and feel.  All for just $7,000 or best offer.
