The Chevrolet Camaro has been discontinued, so remaining low-mileage examples are bound to be future collector items. Featured on AutoHunter is this 2023 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Coupe. It is being sold by a dealer in St. Louis, Missouri, and the auction will end Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 11:45 a.m. (PDT).

The most recent (sixth-generation) Camaro was introduced at Belle Isle in Detroit in May 2015 for the 2016 model year (here is a YouTube video that documented the in-person reveal). The car was met with acclaim in the automotive press, receiving recognition as a Car and Driver “10 Best” for several subsequent years. About eight years later, the General Motors Newsroom announced that the Camaro nameplate would formally retire at the conclusion of model year 2024. Scott Bell, Vice President of Global Chevrolet, said, “While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro’s story.”

Enthusiasts are eager to hear what Chevrolet’s future plans for the Camaro will be, and there is increased appreciation for low-mileage examples like this one with only 2,728 miles on the odometer. The window sticker indicates that the car was originally delivered to Capitol Chevrolet in Austin, Texas, and had a total retail price of $50,470. That price tag included the options installed by the manufacturer, namely a 10-speed automatic transmission, remote start, power sunroof, dual-mode performance exhaust system, red-finished brake calipers, and the Adrenaline Red interior package.

Speaking of the cockpit, in my opinion that’s where this Camaro really stands out. The two-tone black and red color combinations is elegant and sporty at the same time, and the car came well-equipped for its time. Features include carbon-fiber trim, an “Infotainment 3 Plus” touchscreen, Bose Premium nine-speaker audio system, wireless charging, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Sports car looks are best accompanied by plentiful power, and the Camaro delivers: momentum comes from an LT1 6.2-liter V8 mated to a 10L80 10-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Chevrolet rated the car at 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque when new. One important note worth taking into consideration: according to the CARFAX report, the car carries a rebuilt/salvage title. While details surrounding the classification are not provided, it does go without saying that interested buyers are encouraged to do their due diligence with respect to the car’s condition. If history holds true, it may sell at a discount compared to its clean-title counterparts. It’s a unique opportunity to own a well-equipped, low-mileage Camaro.

Speaking of which, whenever I see a Camaro pop up in the marketplace, I can’t help but remember my fun Q&A session from almost a year ago with Leonard Stevenson, the man who’s owned 11 Camaros. Maybe he’d be interested in adding another to his collection?

The Willys MB was immortalized as one of the heroes of World War II for its ruggedness. According to Jeep, “General George C. Marshall, U.S. Army Chief of Staff during World War II, and later U.S. Secretary of State, described the Jeep Brand 4×4 as ‘America’s greatest contribution to modern warfare.’” But another Jeep—one of which happens to be our Pick of the Day—played an important role after the war. You can find this 1948 Willys-Overland Jeep CJ-2A listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealership in Grass Valley, California.

In the postwar years, it became clear to Willys-Overland that millions of American farmers didn’t have a truck or a tractor. Using the wartime MB as a starting point (and after developing the CJ-1 and CJ-2 pre-production models), the company introduced the 1945 CJ-2A to fill that massive void. Also known as the “Universal,” the CJ-2A was marketed as “The All-Around Farm Work-Horse,” capable of working long hours at low speeds without overheating. Kaiser Willys Auto Supply states that Willys-Overland offered a variety of options on the CJ-2A, including front and rear PTOs (power take-offs), snow plow, and mower disc.

Despite its focus on utility, the CJ-2A was still more consumer-friendly than the warrior MB and hence came equipped with “better shock absorbers, springs and more comfortable seats for added comfort, revised transmission and transfer case gear ratios allowing low-speed hauling and highway speeds as high as 60 mph, beefier clutch, better cooling, a tailgate, side-mounted spare tire, larger 7-inch headlights, an external fuel cap, a reinforced frame for greater rigidity, and an automatic windshield wiper on the driver’s side,” according to Jeep.

It’s unclear if this particular 1948 CJ-2A put in long, tough hours on a farm, but we do know it underwent a five-year, nut-and-bolt restoration 123 miles ago. The simple, no-nonsense exterior, which includes Jeep’s iconic seven-slot grille, a pair of flat front fenders, and a doorless and roofless body, is covered in fresh orange paint. The black steel wheels are wrapped in bias-ply tires, which look ready to go churn up some mud. Although the passenger area is devoid of carpet and a radio, it does have a rear bench seat and a surprisingly extensive set of gauges that includes readouts for the amps, oil pressure, and temperature.

There are also helpful diagrams that show the shift pattern for the three-speed manual gearbox and how to engage the transfer case’s low and high gears. Both are connected to a “Go Devil” 134ci inline-four that was rebuilt during the restoration process.

Whether you want to tend to your livestock or see wild animals during leisurely off-road adventures, this 1948 Willys-Overland CJ-2A can help you do it for years to come. Its second life of work or play with you starts once you pay the $20,900 asking price.

Remember when Nissan applied the Pathfinder name to a unibody crossover for 2013? It was like Nissan was watching Dodge introduce a four-door Charger and thought, “Let’s also do something that makes no sense!” So, will Nissan exhibit more common sense with the reintroduction of the Xterra for 2028?

Yup, you’re reading that right—according to Bloomberg, Nissan Americas chairman Christian Meunier has confirmed that the Xterra will be returning for 2028 and will be built at Nissan’s Canton, Mississippi plant. “The dealers are super excited about it because it’s going to be a great example of Nissan coming back,” Meunier told Bloomberg. Wasn’t the Z supposed to do that?

Nonetheless, the rumors have been around for several months already. Automotive News reported this past August that a supposed 2028 Xterra vehicle would rely on a hybrid V6 powertrain.

Car and Driver approached Nissan for a statement and received this: “We are considering the revival of the Xterra nameplate as a hybrid SUV, with a potential launch in 2028. Production is being evaluated for our Canton, Mississippi facility. The return of Xterra would represent a strategic move to strengthen our position in the mid-size off-road SUV segment.” Car and Driver adds that the Xterra has been substituted in the place of a planned EV SUV.

Nissan has already commenced with plans to release 20 new and updated models for America and its northern neighbor through the spring of 2027—now we can say at least 21 models through 2028. If you look at Nissan’s current SUV portfolio, note that it leans heavily towards crossovers, so we’re betting that the Xterra will most certainly be the “Comeback Kid” that Nissan fans are hoping for.

Lexus isn’t the only luxury automaker creating lifestyle-focused custom builds. Bentley recently partnered with Danish food and beverage brand Joe & The Juice to create a custom Bentayga with an onboard coffee shop.

Bentley says the one-off was “designed for intimate events that bring communities together” and “can serve espressos in urban and cultural settings before swiftly moving on to its next destination. It transforms the Bentayga into the world’s most luxurious coffee experience, where cutting-edge design meets the perfect brew.”

The Bentley x Joe & The Juice Bentayga’s barista uniform is Bentley Green and Joe’s Signature Pink, accented with a combination of the two companies’ logos. In the cargo area, Bentley’s Mulliner bespoke division installed a setup with green leather panels and pink details that includes a grinder, espresso machine, and fridge. The whole station can be slid out to sling coffee and espresso at community events, then retracted so the Bentayga can move on to the next gathering.

People who attended the Bentley x Joe & The Juice Bentayga’s launch event at Duke of London in late September got the first taste of its caffeinated creations, but you may get a chance to try them in the future. The partnership between the two companies will fully launch next year, and the custom Bentayga will go on “an international tour of cultural, lifestyle and design events.” Where exactly will those be? Ask someone at Bentley after they’ve had coffee.

Right now on AutoHunter, you can find this 1955 Mercury Custom Station Wagon, which is powered by a Super-Torque 292ci V8 mated to a Merc-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. Finished in light and dark blue over a black plaid cloth and gray vinyl interior, this six-passenger wagon is now offered by the selling dealer in Oregon with a clear title.

The body and roof are finished in light blue, while the pillars are finished in dark blue. Exterior features include chrome bumpers, hood ornament, Full-Scope wrap-around windshield, bright trim, dual side mirrors, sliding rear side windows, lift-up rear window, tailgate, and dual exhaust outlets.

A set of 15-inch steel wheels with covers and 225/75 whitewall radials get passengers and/or cargo to their destinations.

Black plaid cloth and gray vinyl cover the first-row bench and second-row split bench seats, as well as the door panels. Cabin features include manual windows, power steering, AM radio, clock, under-dash Vintage Air Mark IV air conditioning system running R-134a, lap belts, under-seat storage areas and fold-down seatbacks in the second row, and spare tire under the rear cargo area floor.

Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer and amperage, fuel, oil pressure, and temperature gauges. The odometer shows 92,662 miles, but this vehicle is mileage-exempt, according to its title.

Under the hood is a Super-Torque 292ci V8 equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and paired with a Merc-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. Power drum brakes provide peace of mind on the way to family outings, car shows, and the hardware store.

If you want peace of mind knowing this 1955 Mercury Custom Station Wagon will be your next car, you need to place the winning bid on it. Do that now because the auction ends on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. (PDT).
