Matching-Numbers 1963 Chevrolet Biscayne 409/425/4-Speed

1963 Chevrolet (Chevy) 409 Biscayne

This 1963 Chevrolet Biscayne two-door sedan retains its matching-numbers, dual-carb, 425 HP 409ci V8, and looks very good wearing factory-correct Monaco Blue over Fawn. Equipped with a Muncie 4-speed and Posi rear end, but no power steering, brakes, or much of anything else, this one should be a real handful. Find it here on Craigslist in San Tan Valley, Arizona for $43k. Special thanks to BaT reader GFK for this submission.

20 Years Parked: 58K Mile 1985 Toyota MR2 Driver

a

This 1985 Toyota MR2 is a first year model with a claimed 58k miles. The car spent what may have been several years tucked away in an underground apartment garage, and the seller has recently dusted it off and gotten it back on the road, noting fitment of a new radiator. They add that it runs well with no disconcerting noises, but also note that 20 year-old tires induce a slight shake in the steering wheel at freeway speeds–replacements are clearly past due, anyway. The car looks to retain a lot of originality, and though not without the odd blemish, presents quite nicely overall–further detailing will likely have it looking even better. Find it here on eBay in Emeryville, California for $4,750 OBO.

Ford 302/Automatic Swapped: 1963 Volvo PV544

a

This 1963 Volvo PV544 runs a swapped Ford 302ci V8 and unspecified overdrive-equipped automatic transmission, and though the Dayton wires aren’t ideal, overall the car looks pretty good–the color is great for example, and bodywork appears to be in nice shape. The interior has been partially customized as well, and the car should make for a comfortable, quick cruiser, provided it’s been properly dialed-in. Find it here on eBay in Port Williams, Nova Scotia, Canada with for $8k CAD (~$6,400 USD today) OBO. Special thanks to BaT reader PGN for this submission.

Front Wheel Drive Roadster: 1935 Georges Irat 6CV MDS

Never-Seen-One-1935-Georges-Irat-MDS-6CV-Roadster-for-sale-Three-Quarter

This 1935 Georges Irat MDS Roadster (chassis MDS1129) is (according to this writeup of another example) one of 1,500 or so 6CV models built. Featuring a 1.1 liter Ruby four-cylinder driving the front wheels, the French were experimenting heavily with this layout at the time–Citroen’s groundbreaking Traction Avant, for example, was released just one year before this particular car was built. The seller quotes a much lower total production number of 200, though regardless of the true figure, survivors are certainly rare. Offered from a private collection, it appears to wear an older restoration, but still runs and drives. Find it here on eBay in Hollywood, Florida with reserve not met.
