Below we have four vehicles that are listed for sale on AutoHunter or ClassicCars.com. Looking good, right? Yet despite apparent differences, they all share one interesting distinction. Can you tell us what that may be?
Post your answers in the Comments section below. Be sure to also list the year/make/model of each! You can also click on an image if you’re struggling, though that could be considered cheating, so make good choices!
Currently listed on AutoHunter is this nifty 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbriar van, Chevy’s “forward-control” van that was properly known as “Corvair 95,” reflecting its 95-inch wheelbase. The family-style Greenbriar was available from 1961 until 1965, the full duration of the Corvair 95’s existence. It is powered by an air-cooled 145ci flat-six paired with a Powerglide automatic. Features include two-tone paint, manual steering, fold-flat 60/40 front seat, aftermarket mag wheels, surfboard, and more. Painted turquoise and white, this unusual Bow Tie is available from the selling dealer with a custom surfboard table, tool box, beach supplies, and clear title.
The turquoise and white paint scheme perfectly encapsulates 1963. Two front doors, right-side barn doors, and rear barn doors provide access to the interior. Other features include custom window tint, back-up lights, and engine vents on the rear fenders. A set of 14-inch Centerlines are wrapped in 215/70 Hercules MRX Plus IV radials.
The large cabin features white vinyl 60/40 folding front seats, and vinyl and patterned cloth upholstery for the second row. Other features include teal shag carpeting, compass, custom surfboard table, dash-mounted hula girl, and manual steering.
Instrumentation includes an 80-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge. The odometer shows 15,652 miles, though the vehicle title reads mileage-exempt.
The air-cooled flat-six was originally rated at 80 horsepower with dual single-barrel carburetors, and it’s backed by a two-speed Powerglide automatic. An Accel ignition coil has been added.
The undercarriage features drum brakes at all four corners and a single exhaust system.
A total of 11,993 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbriar vans were built for the model year, which means they aren’t very rare. However, the rate of attrition for this type of vehicle is quite high, making this family-style Corvair 95 an interesting find. Additionally, the subject of our AutoHunter Spotlight has received the surf treatment with several water-themed and Hawaiian accoutrements. Tooling around in this will put eyes on you like a million-dollar Ferrari, but this Chevy is available for much, much less. Why not bid and wait for the good news that this van is headed for your garage? Hurry as it ends on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 11:15 a.m. (MST).
There are several reasons why suits are still the go-to for many special occasions and business environments. Here are two: they can give you presence and confidence. I don’t wear suits often but, when I do, I can’t help but feel a little cooler and slicker. Consider our Pick of the Day the automotive equivalent of a well-cut dark suit. You can find this 2000 Jaguar XJR listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Beverly Hills.
The Jaguar XJ sedan has always been attractive but, if you ask me, the 1998-2003 X308 generation is the best-looking one of them all. With its quad round headlights, sculpted hood, and slim, sleek silhouette, it carried on the slinky, feline styling of its X300 predecessor. Every time I see one on the road, I can’t help but stare at it lovingly, with daydreams of owning one and gliding through traffic soon to follow. The X308 combined that unmistakably Jaguar design with a revised cabin fitted with Connolly leather; burl walnut trim; a new dashboard, instrument cluster, and center stack; and more safety features, among other updates.
Following the release of the XK8, the first Jaguar with a V8, the XJ received the naturally aspirated, 290-horsepower 4.0-liter DOHC AJ-V8. The high-performance XJR was equipped with a supercharger that boosted output to 370 horsepower and 387 lb-ft of torque, as well as a sport-tuned independent suspension. Jaguar paired the V8 with a five-speed automatic—the first ever in a Jaguar sedan.
More than a quarter century after it left Jaguar’s factory, this 2000 XJR still looks dashing with its mesh grille inserts, “leaper” hood ornament, and sporty 18-inch “Asteroid” wheels. I usually find that dark paint obscures a lot of a car’s lines, but the Anthracite Metallic here gives the XJR a sleek, sinister appearance that a powder blue or British Racing Green can’t match.
The interior, furnished with Warm Charcoal hides and generous cuts of wood veneer on the door panels, steering wheel, dash, shift knob, and center stack, has a decadent, club-like atmosphere. If you can take your eyes off that handsome combination of colors and materials, you’ll see features such as a power-adjustable steering column, steering wheel-mounted audio/cruise control/phone buttons, and a 320-watt, nine-speaker Alpine audio system with a six-CD changer.
If you look closely, you’ll also spot that there are only 65,241 miles on the odometer. A car this gorgeous needs to be seen by more people, which means it needs to be driven more. If you want to be the person who adds to that low mileage figure, it’ll cost you $19,750.
Day 9 of the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction capped off a spectacular extended week of nonstop thrills that achieved $195.2 million in total auction sales with a 100% No Reserve docket featuring 1,911 collectible vehicles and more than 6,500 registered bidders. In addition, $5.85 million was raised for charity through the sale of nine vehicles that included the one-of-one 2026 Chevrolet Corvette “Stars & Steel” Limited Edition ZR1X that sold for $2,605,000, plus an additional $5,000 donated by the Scottsdale Fire Department.
The day started with over 165 items of collectible cool from the Automobilia Auction and continued with over 200 No Reserve collectible cars and trucks crossing the block amid the atmospheric energy that buzzed through the very end. But clearly the biggest moments happened on Super Saturday, presented by Gila River Resorts & Casinos, including the $2.53 million for a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe and an energetic $1.1 million for a 1966 Lincoln Continental Custom Convertible.
Barrett-Jackson Auctions
“Our Scottsdale Auction once again set the tone for what promises to be another incredible year for the collector car hobby,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We kicked off Barrett-Jackon auction week with our third annual Rock The Block concert featuring Cole Swindell and continued to dial up the excitement throughout the week with the ultimate automotive lifestyle event … We’re looking forward to continuing this momentum in Palm Beach this April.”
The top 10 auction vehicles that sold during the 2026 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction included (click on the lot numbers to view each):
1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe (Lot #1377) – $2,530,000
“The demand for late model supercars was incredibly strong in Scottsdale, like the 2019 McLaren Senna that hammered in at nearly $2 million,” added Jackson. “There was also a healthy demand for rare, restored classics.”
One of the highlights was when Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Linda Perry rolled up onto the auction block in her 1967 Chevrolet Camaro while singing her smash hit “What’s Up” with a gospel choir leading the way. Other celebrity vehicles that crossed the block in Scottsdale this year included:
Kevin Hart’s 2024 Ford Bronco Custom SUV (Lot #1329.1)
David Spade’s 1978 Ford F-250 Ranger XLT custom pickup (Lot #1025.1)
2017 Ford GT formerly owned by Tim Allen (Lot #1387)
2010 Land Rover Range Rover HSE formerly owned by Jennifer Aniston (Lot #1532)
Barrett-Jackson Auctions

The Automobilia auction was no less exciting. With 949 authentic pieces selling for $4.7 million, the top three sales included:
1920s Maple Leaf Gasoline Clear Vision Model #700 Twin Visible Gas Pump (Lot #9460) – $80,500
On Saturday, 50 world-class custom vehicles were showcased on the auction block as part of the Barrett-Jackson Cup Parade presented by CRC and BluePrint Engines. Capturing this year’s coveted Barrett-Jackson Cup Ultimate Best in Show was a 1959 Chevrolet Impala while another 1950s Chevy—a 1958 Corvette—garnered the People’s Choice award.
“Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this January was the center of the automotive world and hobby,” says Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “I was proud to assemble a diverse docket with our team that absolutely rocked the block all week long, giving bidders of every level the chance to own their dream collectible vehicle … Now, we set our sights on Palm Beach this April and look forward to creating even more memorable moments on the auction block.”

We were lucky to see this 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6X6 because it was never originally sold in the United States. Fortunately, someone federalized this six-wheel-drive monster and brought it here under the Show or Display rule. On top of that, this off-road rarity’s 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 was upgraded with $40,000+ of Weistec Engineering mods, which included the turbos, downpipes, ECU, and 3-inch exhaust system.
That increased power reaches the street and trail through an AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, portal axles, and 18-inch beadlock wheels with massive 37-inch tires. Inside, there are four heated and ventilated leather seats with diamond-quilted inserts and a central tire inflation system. Clearly, we’re not the only ones who think that that’s a great combination because someone bought this rig for $753,500 at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Scottsdale Auction.
Right now on Autohunter, you can find this 1969 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside pickup, which is powered by a rebuilt 350ci V8 connected to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. Finished in yellow and white two-tone over a black vinyl interior, this classic two-wheel-drive “Action Line” Chevy pickup is now offered by the selling dealer in Missouri with a clear title.
Fellow drivers will be able to spot this truck from a mile away thanks to its white roof and pillars, and yellow body. That head-turning combo features bright side trim with black inserts. Other exterior features include a chrome front bumper, dual mirrors, cab-mounted fuel cap, black bed liner and tailgate protector, body-color roll pan, and dual exhaust outlets.
You may have noticed that this C10 has a different stance. Your eyes didn’t deceive you—it’s been lowered two inches in the front and four inches in the rear over a set of chrome 20-inch Foose wheels, which are wrapped in 275/45 front and 295/45 rear Toyo Proxes ST III radials.
The cabin has its own two-tone color scheme of yellow on the dash and door panels, and black vinyl for the dash pad, bench seat, and door panels. Features include a column-mounted shifter and power brakes with discs in the front and drums at the rear.
Instrumentation consists of a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for the battery, temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The odometer shows 19,378 miles, but this truck is mileage-exempt, according to its title.
Under the hood, you’ll find a rebuilt 350ci V8 equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and long-tube headers. The engine is paired with a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission.
If you’re looking for a head-turning classic American truck, bid on this 1969 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside before the auction ends on Friday, January 30, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. (MST).
There’s something great about specifying the car you want to buy. Power windows? Check the box. Air conditioning? Available – and no engine restrictions. And what about the color? Looking for something like the color on grandpa’s ’53 Olds Fiesta? It can be done via special order and some wampum. Our Pick of the Day was originally ordered by such a discerning customer, though there’s other fine equipment that already makes this example a standout. This 1968 Buick GS 400 convertible is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealership in Elkhart, Indiana.
Like all A-bodies, the 1968 Buick Special was redesigned. Unlike other GM brands, Buick designed the Special to look like a junior full-sizer, leading Motor Trend to suggest that “of all the supercars, the GS 400 will probably be the one most likely to appeal to the older, middle-age owner who wants power and performance without flaunting the fact too much.” Today, Buick fans say 1968-69 Gran Sports are the figureheads of “Stepchild Nation,” the red-headed stepchildren of muscle cars because of how they lean into luxury. “The GS 400 could be classified as the middle-class businessman’s car. Its smooth lines and emphasis on comfort give that impression.”
Buick’s powerplant had already been established the year before. For 1967, the 401 “Nailhead” was replaced by a clean-sheet V8 measuring 400ci and putting out 340 horsepower. It was competitive with all other similarly sized engines, though Buick gave the carry-over 1968 version an edge with dealer-installed Stage 1 and Stage 2 packages, the latter more of an off-road package for the racetrack. Torque—long a Buick trademark—was a generous 440 @ 3200 rpm, which completely dwarfed the ever-popular Chevrolet 396 at 415. Motor Trend was impressed by how it drove, proclaiming that the GS 400 handled beautifully despite coil springs all around. “GS 400 handles beautifully on freeway or through corners with only mild understeer.” It added, “With … judicious throttle use, the Buick will drift precisely through most turns. It goes through curves flat and level without any unnecessary roll or pitching one might associate with a Buick.”
Like most muscle cars, the GS 400 came standard with a three-speed on the floor. Optional was a four-speed manual or a TH400 automatic, which would be on the floor when the optional console was ordered. Note that neither of the sticks were available with the console, but they were available with a consolette, something unique in the segment.
This 1968 Buick GS 400 convertible stands tall as possibly the beacon of Stepchild Nation based on its option list. Let’s start by saying that it’s a convertible, one of 2,454 built. Of those, only 351 were built with the four-speed. Other notable features include air conditioning, power windows, power driver’s seat, tachometer, Rally steering wheel, and Super Sport chrome wheels—all items that could move this to the top of 1968 Gran Sport desirability. What puts this one over the top is the special-order color. No indication is given as to what it is, but it looks like several bright oranges that were trickling onto the consciousness at the time (as evidenced by the introduction of Pontiac’s Carnival Orange, Mercury’s Calypso Coral, and a handful of 1968 Plymouths special-ordered in a tangerine hue by a dealer in California). It actually gives this Stepchild a bit of youthful appeal for a design that didn’t offer much of that.
A drop-top with several power accessories, a four-speed, and a bright paint job sounds like just the ticket. But that ticket also includes membership in Stepchild Nation. Are you ready to join for $65,250?

As you read this, the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction is in full swing with Super Saturday, but don’t let the restomods and exotics distract you—the cars pictured here are just as interesting as anything you’ll see Saturday evening. Sure, it’s easy to be enamored by a V12-powered exotic, but can’t the same be said for a stylish Mercury Cyclone, Barracuda droptop that checks all the boxes, or unusual Edsel wagon?
Answer: it can. Take this 1965 Mercury Cyclone that’s leading this charge: Nineteen sixty-five was the second year of the Cyclone model, and its final year as a compact. Is it the sweetest compact of the era? While you duke it out, I’ll point out what shines on this one: 302 crate V8, Demon 4-barrel carburetor, polished high-rise intake, Mallory ignition, March serpentine pulley system and, for your convenience, three-speed automatic. The pièce de resistance is that gorgeous fiberglass scooped hood.
1969 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible Immediately,it’s apparent that whoever spec’d out this wild fish had good taste because the black and red combination is stunning. Though equipped with the decidedly non-performance 318, this Barracuda droptop is also equipped with the goods: four-speed manual with console, “V7R” stripes, Rally instrument cluster, front disc brakes, and more. Only 1,442 Barracuda convertibles were built, of which 56 were U.S.-spec 318 four-speeds, so it’s decidedly rarer than an equivalent Mustang.
1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am You can take your Grand National, I’ll take the Pontiac pony car with the same engine. All Turbo Trans Ams were official Indy Pace Car replicas, with car number 1,221 having spent its entire life in a climate-controlled garage. Note the T-tops and leather interior, which are two features that divide these Trans Ams among the 1,555 built. The V6 was slightly different than what Buick used because Pontiac engineers modified the cylinder heads with reshaped combustion chambers and relocated exhaust ports, improved the pistons, added an air-to-air intercooler, and cross-drilled the crankshaft. The odometer reads 2,188 miles.
1987 Chevrolet R10 Custom Pickup You could say that lowering a pickup, adding staggered 20×8 (front) and 20×10 (rear) wheels, upholstering a custom leather interior, and refreshing the windshield, bumpers, lights, brakes, belt, driveshaft and window felts can reinvigorate an old pickup. But none of that catches the eye like the Desert Fox-inspired paint treatment with custom-laid stripes and color-matched bed liner.
1958 Edsel Roundup Station Wagon The Edsel Bermuda seems to be an auction favorite, but when was the last time you’ve seen a two-door Edsel Ranger wagon? Only 963 were built. Based on the Ranger trim level, it was Edsel’s entry-level wagon, and the only two-door wagon within the brand. I’d say 303 horsepower is quite decent for a 361ci V8, plus it has that nifty drum speedo and the pushbuttons in the steering wheel hub. Other features include power steering, power brakes and Mark VI under-dash air-conditioning system. Neat!
Super Saturday at theBarrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction lived up to its name. Just look at the top 10 sales from Saturday – you’ll see big names, which generated even bigger dollar amounts. We also made sure to include two cars that were auctioned off to raise millions for charitable causes.
The top 10 spots were almost evenly divided between European and American vehicles – and those were a nearly 50/50 mix of classic and modern models, all of which crossed the block at WestWorld of Scottsdale for a total of more than $15 million. With a price of $2.53 million, a restored, award-winning 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing topped the list, followed by a 1961 version of its roadster successor, which went for $1.87 million. McLarens and a Ferrari from the 21st century rounded out the top five positions on the list.
A pair of 2022 Ford GTs occupied the #6 and #10 positions. In between those mid-engine marvels was a trio of cars, each of which sold for $1.1 million. One of those was a 900-horsepower 2023 Porsche Brabus 900 Rocket R, aka “Blue Magic.” The other two, a Coyote-powered 1966 Lincoln Continental convertible and a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette 327/360 Z06 “Big Tank” split-window coupe, showed that American cars have a strong appeal whether they’ve been updated with new hardware or restored to their original glory.
Michigan-made cars also brought in big money for charity. A 1-of-1 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X Stars & Steel Limited Edition built to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary raised $2.6 million for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which helps “America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.” A 2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC with the Track Pack and VIN 001 hammered for $1.25 million, benefiting Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), an organization that strives “to cure, prevent, and treat type 1 diabetes and its complications.”
