Currently offered for sale on AutoHunter is this 1956 Continental Mark II. Ford Motor Company created a new division for 1956—Continental, placed a notch above Lincoln—specifically for the revival of the Mark series, and it was priced several thousand dollars over typical Lincoln offerings. This one has received mild customization, mainly seen in the exterior paint and interior. Power comes from a 365ci “Y-block” V8 paired with a three-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission. Features include power windows, power front disc brakes, air conditioning, power seat, aftermarket stereo, and more. Painted in two-tone silver and gray metallic over a gray and red leather interior, this ultra-luxury cruiser is offered by the selling dealer in California with upholstered tool bags and a clear title.

The silver and gray metallic paints were sourced from the 2020 Mercedes-Benz palette, the same year of the Mark’s restoration. The paint is complemented by red pinstriping. Other features include driver-side chrome mirror, Continental badge on the trunk lid, and chrome rocker trim. A set of 15-inch red-painted steel wheels are wrapped in 8.50 Coker Classic whitewall radials.

The cabin is furnished with gray and red leather, with the front bench being power-operated. Features include factory air conditioning, power steering, power windows, column-mounted transmission shifter, aftermarket AM/FM/auxiliary stereo nicely tucked away, and custom cup holders.

Instrumentation includes a 140-mph speedometer, 5,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the oil pressure, temperature, amperage, and fuel level. The odometer shows 73,563 miles, though the title reads mileage-exempt.

The 368ci V8 was rated at 285 horsepower, and features a rebuilt four-barrel carburetor and 10:1 compression. Shifting is handled by a rebuilt three-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission.

The undercarriage features power front disc brakes and a dual exhaust system. A new power brake booster and shock absorbers have been installed.

In 1956, the Continental Mark II was America’s most expensive production car at a cost of $10,000. Compare that with a Lincoln Premiere convertible, which started at around $4,747—that’s quite a big difference! The Mark II was America’s Rolls-Royce, if you will, a hand-built nod to the original Lincoln Continental.

The subject of our AutoHunter Spotlight has received several tasteful modifications that make the Mark appear less conservative, but make no mistake, this is still among the classiest cars of the decade. In order to bring 1950s haute couture to your driveway, you will have to place a bid before 12:00 p.m. (MST) on Friday, January 16, 2026.

In 1992, Buick used the tagline, “The new symbol for quality in America.” From the compact Skylark to the flagship Park Avenue, Buick promoted each model for its value and luxury. One of the cars in the lineup was a distinctive coupe called the Riviera. The Pick of the Day is a nice example—it’s a 1992 Riviera listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Mission, Kansas.

“Beautiful Riviera in like-new condition,” the listing begins. The odometer shows just 58,003 miles, and the car looks well preserved for being almost 34 years old. Exterior features include two-tone paint, a hood ornament, a chrome waterfall-style grille, a sloping tail end, wire wheel covers, and whitewall tires.

From 1963 through 1978, the Riviera was rear-wheel-drive, but beginning in 1979, the car adopted the General Motors E-body platform and became front-wheel-drive. The media liked the car—in fact, Motor Trend named the 1979 Riviera its “Car of the Year.” Fast forwarding to 1986, the E-body coupes were revised (and downsized) once more. That generation—the Riviera’s 7th—would remain in production until 1993. (The “Riv” had just one more iteration and was discontinued entirely after 1999).

True to its luxury intentions, the Riviera’s cabin boasted a lot of innovation for its time; some models even had an advanced CRT touchscreen, known as the Graphic Control Center (GCC). It was was futuristic for the time, a predecessor of today’s modern infotainment systems. My friend Jason’s Buick Reatta—one of the cars in our caravan to RADwood 2025 in Los Angeles—had a similar setup.

One of the Buick full-line brochures from 1992 said, “By now you know the 1992 Riviera is a head-turner. Its sleek exterior is complemented by a luxurious interior that features amenities like a six-way power seat and automatic climate control as standard.” Buick also promoted that the car’s body used two-sided, rust-resistant steel panels that were galvanized with zinc inside and out, ensuring “lasting value.”

Under the hood of this low-mileage Riviera is a “3800” 3.8-liter V6 with Tuned Port Injection, rated at 170 horsepower. The seller says that the air conditioning compressor was replaced and uses R-143 refrigerant. The tires, though seven years old, reportedly have good tread remaining. “Great driving car,” summarizes the listing.

The original retail price of a 1992 Riviera was over $27,000—a strong sum for its time. The asking price for this low-mileage, original example is just $12,000 or best offer.

Last November, Jeep kicked off its “Twelve 4 Twelve” celebration in the lead-up to its 85th anniversary. On the 12th of each month, it releases a new special-edition Wrangler. So far, we’ve brought you news of the 470-horsepower Wrangler Moab 392 and the winter-friendly Wrangler Whitecap. That brings us to the third of 12 scheduled drops: the 2026 Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition.

There are certain telltale exterior signs that the limited-run 85th Anniversary Edition isn’t a regular JL Wrangler. Up front, there are bronze tow hooks. On the sides, you’ll see Blue Agave 85th anniversary badges and decals, body-color fender flares, and a set of Steel Oxide 17-inch wheels.

Inside, the 85th Anniversary Edition’s most distinctive feature is its gold, black, and white plaid cloth seat inserts—a nod to the Wrangler’s rugged, outdoorsy, adventurous nature. Those are accompanied by matching accents on the the instrument panel and mid bolster. Other signs of this model’s significance are its Berber floor and cargo mats, 85th anniversary shifter medallion, and 85th anniversary cup holder plaque.

Jeep bundles those special touches with standard features that include LED headlights, DRLs, and fog lamps; Gorilla Glass windshield; keyless entry; remote start; tinted windows; heated front seats; heated steering wheel; and Alpine audio. Optional equipment includes a black hardtop, body-color hardtop, and all-terrain tires (which are a no-cost upgrade).

According to Stellantis, you can order this piece of Jeep history right now. Prices start at $46,300—only $710 more than a Wrangler Sport S with the Convenience Group and Alpine audio. If you need more hauling space, you can also order the Gladiator 85th Anniversary model, which is priced from $45,820, an increase of $1,005 over a comparably equipped Sport S model.

Does anyone out there remember the Magic 8 Ball? It was a plastic sphere invented in 1946 that resembled a billiards ball, and it was used to answer yes/no questions for fortune-telling purposes. If you could ask a Magic 8 Ball about a specific model that might become a future collectible vehicle, what would that vehicle be? Below are five vehicles I will be discussing at the Future Collectible Symposium on January 21 at WestWorld during the upcoming Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction. Our readers get a sneak peek!

Honda Integra Type R (DC5) – JDM Spec (pictured above)

It is hard for many of us to believe (or accept), but cars from the early 2000s are now officially becoming classics. One of them is a car that, up until now, has not been available stateside due to “25-year rule” federal import regulations. It’s the 2001-2006, Japanese-market Honda Integra Type R. This right-hand-drive sport-tuner came with a high-revving K20A iVTEC inline-four with 220 horsepower. In addition, it had strong balance and Recaro seats. For a raw, connected pocket-rocket, I think it’s a car to keep your eyes on.

Lexus LC500

The LC launched in 2018 and is still in production. It’s an elite grand tourer from Toyota’s luxury brand, and its price tag when new was around $100,000. The LC has held its value well, and I consider it a future collectible because we are in an era when “coupes” in general are being phased out in favor of crossover-type vehicles. Lexus has intentionally kept production numbers low (around 2,000-3,000 units per year), giving the car an exclusive feel – not to mention the fact that the cars are hand-built at the same factory that produced the LFA V10 supercar years ago. Attention to detail and build quality abound.

Ford F-150 Raptor R

The F-150 has been a best-seller for many decades, and the Raptor R takes the popular platform to new heights of performance. This is one “new” vehicle that I think you could put away in a vault and see appreciate in value in the coming years – but who would want to do that? It has a 5.2-liter Predator V8 that has been supercharged and produces 720 horsepower. Add in the off-road suspension, 13 inches of ground clearance, and 37-inch tires, and it’s a truck that will be begging to get dirty.

Chevrolet Tahoe & Suburban (GMT400)

This pick takes things back a few decades, but hear me out. We already know that the car collector community is driven by nostalgia. Many, many American families had GMT400-platform vehicles as their daily drivers. The Tahoe, Suburban, early Escalade, and GMC/Chevy pickup trucks from the 1980s-2000s are booming in popularity, and well-kept examples are getting tougher to find. The Suburban is an undisputed cultural icon – it’s the only vehicle that earned itself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited (ZJ)

Before all of today’s performance-focused SUVs and crossovers like the Tesla Model X, Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5, and Hemi-powered Durangos, one of the pioneering models for the segment was the Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited. It was available for just one year (1998) and was reportedly the world’s fastest SUV at the time. There were only about 14,000 built, and today, surviving examples are sought after. It came with a 245-horsepower Magnum V8 and Quadra-Trac four-wheel drive – making it plenty capable both on- and off-road.

For 60 years, the Porsche 911 has set standards, broken records, and stolen the hearts of thousands of sports car enthusiasts. Its latest iteration, which debuted in 2019, is called the 992 series. And one 992 in particular – finished in the uncommon color “Gentian Blue” – was among the many impressive supercars that were sold at no reserve at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Scottsdale Fall Auction.

Featured on the ClassicCars TV YouTube channel is an overview discussing some of the many standout features of the 911. It was powered by a rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six rated at a potent 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Those performance credentials meant the car could accelerate to 60 mph in fewer than three seconds. Part of the car’s swiftness was made possible by its Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system – delivering plenty of grip on demand.

Of course, sports cars aren’t just about going fast. They need to handle with confidence and precision. Accordingly, the Porsche on the docket was equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) for maximum agility.

Besides its sheer speed, the 911 Turbo S had a lot else going for it. For starters, take a look at the interior, which is finished in an exclusive “Manufaktur” two-tone leather combination of Chalk and Bordeaux; that arrangement was an $11,110 upgrade. Additional interior options included brushed aluminum trim inlays, special seat belts, a heated GT Sport steering wheel with carbon fiber, a Burmester high-end surround sound audio system, ambient lighting, and even leather-upholstered sun visors.

All said and done, the car had a striking combination of options and extremely strong collector appeal. One lucky high bidder was able to take the car home.

We look forward to seeing what’s up for grabs at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. You can browse the docket in advance to see if anything catches your eye. Whether you plan on bidding to bring home a new ride or not, the event is a must-experience occasion for any automotive enthusiast.

Currently for sale on AutoHunter is this restored 1970 Pontiac GTO hardtop. Nineteen-seventy brought a restyle of the Goat that has made it a fan favorite. It’s not difficult to understand why as it looks sleeker than the equally photogenic 1968-69 version. What’s interesting about this one (aside of the killer color combo) is how it was originally equipped—just four options—but don’t let that sway you; several enhancements make this Poncho a mightier muscle car, including upgrades to the original 400 (now with 444 horsepower) and other mechanical bits. Painted Polar White with a red bucket-seat interior, this Gran Turismo Omologato comes from the private seller with PHS documentation, 1970 California plates, window sticker, build sheet, car cover, clear title, and more.

This GTO underwent a frame-on restoration in 2018. The Polar White paint is complemented by red GTO decals on both front fenders and the trunk lid. Other exterior highlights include a non-functional ram air hood and dual chrome mirrors. A set of 15-inch Rally II wheels is wrapped in 235/60 Uniroyal Tiger Paw radials.

The cabin is furnished in red vinyl, which includes new upholstery (door panels, seat covers, carpet, and headliner). The front bucket seats lack a console between them, so the shifter is on the column. Other features include power steering (added), the original AM radio, and an aftermarket Alpine AM/FM/Bluetooth/AUX stereo located in the glove box.

The instrument panel features a 120-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge, with a clock added in the right pod. A set of aftermarket AutoMeter gauges is mounted underneath the dashboard (water temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and transmission temperature), with an 8,000-rpm tachometer resting on the transmission hump. The odometer shows 72,545 miles, though the title reads mileage-exempt.

The numbers-matching, professionally rebuilt 400 has been bored to measure 407ci. With 10.65:1 compression, it puts out 444 horsepower and 482 lb-ft of torque. Equipment includes a Holley Demon four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock intake plus Hooker headers and more. The rebuilt TH400 automatic is now supported by a 2,800-rpm stall converter.

The undercarriage has been upgraded with an F41 suspension featuring large front and rear sway bars, boxed control arms, and power front disc brakes. The limited-slip rear end features 3.55 Auburn gears. The headers are connected to a 2.5-inch H-pipe dual exhaust system with MagnaFlows.

As a factory piece, this 1970 Pontiac GTO hardtop is unique in its limited option list (not even power steering), but today it is equipped with the sort of features you’d want as a driver. Add the massaged engine and sweet hues, and you have quite a desirable Goat. Do you agree? Rather than nod your head, you can bid high and bid now to welcome this Pick of the Day to your garage, then wait for the 12:15 p.m. (MST) deadline on Friday, January 16, 2026 to see if you’ve won. Good luck!

There are certain things that are typically associated with vehicles from different parts of the world. German cars are renowned for their engineering. Japanese cars have a reputation for reliability. If you overhear someone talking about Italian cars, there’s a good chance you’ll catch the word “beautiful.” There are good reasons for those associations—just look at our Pick of the Day and try to take your eyes off of it. You can find this 1970 Maserati Ghibli listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Farmingdale, New York.

When Maserati started developing a new GT car in 1966, it turned to Ghia of Turin for the design. As fate would have it, the job was assigned to a young Giorgetto Giugiaro, who had already penned the lines for another Italian looker, the Iso Grifo. Giugiaro would go on to co-found Italdesign in 1968 and later design the S1 Lotus Esprit and DMC DeLorean, among many others.

Named after a powerful North African wind, the Ghibli was a swirl of decisions that resulted in what many consider Giugiaro’s best design. Maserati fitted the 4.7-liter V8 from the Mexico with dry-sump lubrication, which allowed Giugiaro to lower the Ghibli’s hood. A noticeably reclined windshield connects with a fast roofline that slopes down toward triangular rear pillars, which became visual signatures of later Maserati vehicles. When you look at the Ghibli’s profile, you see a graceful flow because, as Maserati puts it, “there was no distinction between the car’s body and the passenger compartment; they were neither separate nor overlapping, rather they were joined together as a single surface,” forming one beautiful piece of rolling art. One glance at the Ghibli inspires daydreams of driving briskly along the sun-soaked Mediterranean coast wearing Persol shades and bespoke Italian tailoring.

Nearly 60 years after it left Maserati’s factory, the Ghibli continues to stun. Though powered by its original 330-horsepower V8, the aluminum body lost its original light blue hue and has been repainted in the current metallic burgundy, which pairs perfectly with the well preserved ivory white leather interior. It’s not immediately obvious, but that wood shift knob is part of another major change from stock. According to the selling dealer, “Originally ordered as a U.S.-spec car with a rare automatic transmission, this Ghibli was converted early in its life to a desirable 5-speed ZF manual gearbox, complete with correct linkage and pedals.”

While this 1970 Maserati Ghibli may not be entirely original, it was modified for the better. Most importantly, it didn’t lose its innate beauty. You can enjoy this gorgeous sight and time behind its wood-rimmed wheel every day for $149,900.
