Potential Example, 1977 BMW 530i Sedan

Potential Example, 1977 BMW 530i Sedan

A Lot Of Potential Example, 1977 BMW 530i Sedan For Sale

Found this one potential example of the BMW 5 Series lineage offered for sale at Craigslist for $5200 in San Diego, California. 1977 BMW 530i 4-door sedan listed as a barn find and one owner example with 77k original miles on it. All looks nicely shown in the photos. Unfortunately, the engine bay photos were unprovided.

The BMW looks well preserved from every angle provided, photos are limited, and lighting is not 100% ideal. Not a perfect condition but is a potential bone as a light restoration project, if you're one prospective buyer, must see it directly to get its actual condition to consider it as a good deal.

Only One in the World, 1984 Stutz Victoria Limousine

Only One in the World, 1984 Stutz Victoria Limousine

Only One in the World, 1984 Stutz Victoria Limousine For Sale

The most American-made cars and trucks can claim as much as 90% of U.S.-sourced content includes the design. As shown here is one of the classic American-made cars offered in the 80's, despite it was built in Italy but the design is deliberately like that to fulfill American taste, looking older than most cars at that time. Designed exclusively as a luxury car made by Stutz Motor Company based in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.

This 1984 Stutz Victoria Limousine the only one in the world with side pipes claimed by the seller. The shape and apperance look very similiar with other model the Blackhawk, the difference is only on the number of doors between both, four for Victoria and two for Blackhawk.


The interior remained with its original 24 carat gold trim, equipped a lot modern stuff with retro classic style into it, all still look clean and neat at the 33 age. On the dash has fitted the high-tech of the 80s audio system and the rear - ample legroom comes with huge trays and a TV.


This a V8-307ci engine supplied by Oldsmobile still running properly with only 11630 miles on it. It same engine which fitted at one of the Oldsmobile Delta 88 family. In my mind, it could be an Old Delta 88 goes to Italy just to makeover his clothes with expensive materials were styled by Stutz, but...

Obviously it could be amazingly car ever made, it has so many crazy things to making it happen including its ridiculously high production cost just for shipping between US and Italy. This car was a high class car built in 1984 with everything it has, sold apparently close to $100K in that time, which is the equivalent of $250K or more today. Not sure but most sources say only about twenty of this Victoria model were made and this could be one of them.

By rarity is very real and the condition was greats for its age, but the price seems like does not reflect high of value, not ideal for investment. Does it mean "Rare Doesn't Always Mean Desireable" may is the words that are suitable for this car. Would probably suit to a rich man with eccentric souls.

Original 1954 Packard Cavalier Sedan

1954 Packard Cavalier Sedan

Original 1954 Packard Cavalier Sedan For Sale

It was an old American car made by Packard in the 50s. A short production line car, only two of 1953 and 1954 were offered as a four-door sedan only, called the Cavalier designed to replace the Packard 300 model. Here is one original example of a 1954 Packard Cavalier still in good condition with the rare Senior trim package offered for sale by the owner.

Light restoration work needs to be completed. It has been restored but remains in its original paint, the interior has been refinished except for the headliner, and there are no reports of any mechanical problems or leaks, overall it is in good condition for its age.

Not all are touched by renovation, there is still a little work that needs make it perfect. The good thing is some modifications and upgrades to meet modern safety regulations, new 3-point seat belts in the front and lap belts in the rear have been added.

The 327 Straight eight engine is mated to an automatic transmission, sits neatly in place, and there's nothing to distract the eye, all looks clean, hope all is done right. It's great to see what has been done, it looks like the hard work has been done. So it's just a matter of how you get on with it, that's the point.

Barn Find, 1931 Rockne 65

Barn Find, 1931 Rockne 65 For Sale

Found this one on Craigslist, a rare American automobile made by Studebaker Corporation under the Rockne brand. Reportedly only 24000 units were ever made in 2 production years and only 230 still exist today and this one of them. The car is being offered for sale in Tucson, Arizona looking for $14995.

As you've seen here is a barn find Rockne 65 4-door sedan built in 1931 with 6009 miles shown on the odometer. No words about the mechanical issue and no background were written in its ad, but the car hasn't been driven for a few years and is very completely reported. If you are one of those who often restore the glory of the past through an antique car, this is a perfect example for your next patient.

1931 Rockne 65 Interior

No words about renovated, but the interior shows quite decent condition for its age. No rotten hole seen from here, that's could be the perfect bone if you want to renovate.

1931 Rockne 65 Engine

Looked dusty and unkempt, but looks promising. The six-cylinder Studebaker engine is still there in his place and there’s no word about mechanical issues, we bet it's still rebuildable. If you want to find an American antique car beyond the familiar brand, the Rockne 65 is more worthy of restoration than Ford or Chevy.
