This 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe has been thoughtfully refurbished under prior ownership, including a complete repaint of the body in white with striking black stripes. The seller acquired the vehicle in 2022 and has since made important modifications to enhance its performance and style.

**Exterior and Body**
Originally finished in Autumn Gold at the factory, this Camaro was refinished to its current white with black stripes scheme prior to the seller’s ownership. Notable exterior details include a black vinyl roof cover, a rear deck spoiler, SS badges, and LED marker lights with smoked lenses. While the paint is overall clean, some chips, cracks, and blemishes are visible, as shown in the accompanying gallery. It’s worth noting that the trunk lid requires support to remain open.

**Chassis and Suspension**
The chassis has been upgraded with QA1 tubular front control arms, QA1 adjustable front coilovers, and rear traction bars paired with rear coilover shocks. A QA1 front anti-sway bar is installed, and the original front anti-sway bar with links will be included with the sale. The car rides on 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels wrapped in staggered Sumitomo HTR tires, providing both retro styling and improved grip.

**Brakes and Steering**
Braking performance benefits from power-assisted front disc brakes featuring drilled and slotted rotors, complemented by rear drum brakes. Power steering is also equipped to ensure easy maneuverability.

**Interior**
Inside, the cabin has been re-trimmed in black and features TMI front bucket seats, a matching center console, and a coordinated rear bench. Additional comfort and convenience features include a horseshoe shifter, center cup holders, and front shoulder belts. The dash has been customized, with gaps between the reproduction dash pad and A-pillar covers filled using padding and black vinyl upholstery for a clean appearance.

Instrumentation includes a Budnik steering wheel framing a column-mounted Equus tachometer, a 130-mph speedometer, a fuel-level gauge, and indicator lights for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. Aftermarket gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage are mounted below the dash. The five-digit odometer reads approximately 62,000 miles, with around 1,400 miles added during current ownership.

Entertainment is handled by a modern Boss touchscreen stereo unit featuring Bluetooth connectivity, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay compatibility, enhancing the driving experience while maintaining classic style.

**Powertrain**
Under the hood is a later-model 350ci V8 engine with a one-piece main seal for improved durability. This powerhouse is equipped with a polished aluminum intake manifold, a Brawler four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads, and an HEI distributor. The oil was recently changed in May 2025.

Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission connected to a 10-bolt rear end. The dual exhaust system includes a crossover pipe and MagnaFlow mufflers, producing a balanced and aggressive sound.

**Additional Information**
This Camaro is offered with service records, spare parts, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name. It is a well-maintained classic muscle car that combines vintage charm with tasteful modern upgrades, making it a great candidate for enthusiasts looking for both style and substance.

This 1973 Ford F-Series truck is the result of a meticulous two-year custom build completed in 2024. The project combines the frame and cab of a 1973 F-100 with suspension and front body components sourced from a period F-600 model, creating a unique and robust vehicle.

Powering this custom truck is a 330ci V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dually rear axle. The truck rides on polished 22.5″ Alcoa alloy wheels wrapped in 255/70 Pirelli FH15 tires, providing both style and performance.

Visually, the body is finished in a striking satin blue. The custom flatbed is crafted from burnt-wood planks, adding a classic yet refined touch. During the build, the cab was married with F-600 front-end panels, including the hood, grille, fenders, and side steps, all refinished in the same satin blue. Additional exterior features include a sliding rear window, a white-finished grille and front bumper, a chrome tail panel with LED taillights, and aftermarket halo-style taillights.

Inside, the cab offers comfort and modern convenience. Low-back SCAT Procar bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl flank the interior, complemented by black door panel inserts, black carpeting, and white-painted dash accents. A custom center console houses a wireless phone charger, a touchscreen stereo unit, a storage compartment, 12-volt power outlets, and cupholders. The Forever Sharp steering wheel frames an F-600-style instrument panel that includes a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, alternator status, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer reads 36,000 miles, with approximately 3,000 miles added under the current ownership.

The truck’s suspension was upgraded by modifying the F-100 frame with F-600 suspension components, ensuring enhanced handling and stability. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. The dual exhaust system features SpinTech mufflers and side outlets, while the engine is topped with a blue-painted open-element air filter assembly and a two-barrel carburetor.

This modified Ford truck was previously offered on BaT in October 2025 and is now available again, this time with no reserve. It comes with a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name describing the vehicle as a 1973 Ford F-100. Notably, the truck is titled by the identification number F10YRR40368, which also appears on a warranty tag affixed to the cab with replacement rivets. The seller notes that there are no visible VIN markings on the frame.

This blend of classic styling, thoughtful customization, and practical upgrades makes this 1973 Ford F-Series truck a rare find for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a classic example of Mercedes’ celebrated W113 “Pagoda” series. Powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, this model delivers a smooth and refined driving experience. The car is finished in white complemented by Cognac MB-Tex upholstery, offering a timeless and elegant look.

The vehicle comes equipped with a gray convertible soft top and a removable hardtop painted to match the body color. Other exterior features include 14″ steel wheels with painted covers and 185 HR 14 Pirelli P300 tires, a driver-side mirror, and US-market headlights. The W113 SL was designed by renowned automotive designers Friedrich Geiger, Béla Barényi, and Paul Bracq, making this car a valuable collector’s piece.

The seller purchased the car in 1994 and is now offering it with an owner’s manual, service records, the original factory radio (which has been removed), a car cover, a hardtop stand, and a clean Utah title in their name. It’s important to note there is a noticeable color difference on the driver-side door, suggesting it may have been repainted before the seller’s purchase. Additionally, dents and dings are present on the body, and the condition of the soft top is documented in the accompanying gallery.

Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. A thorough service was performed in September 2022, which included replacing the front and rear brake pads, a front rotor, wheel bearings, and a brake fluid flush. The same service also covered an oil and coolant change, along with the replacement of the valve cover and fuel hoses, ensuring the car’s mechanical components remain in good working order.

Inside, the cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Cognac MB-Tex, which extends to the door panels, creating a cohesive interior design. While an aftermarket CD stereo has been installed and powers on, it currently does not play CDs. Other interior appointments include an analog clock, a floor-mounted gear shifter, and a heater. The seller notes some wear to the seats, broken ventilation and heater control knobs, and a loose center console. The original factory radio is included with the sale for restoration or collection purposes.

The classic two-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in a cover and features a chrome horn ring. The instrument cluster houses a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The odometer shows 45,000 miles but has rolled over; the seller has added approximately 2,000 miles since ownership.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through the aforementioned four-speed automatic transmission. The engine—Mercedes’ M130 inline-six—is factory equipped with Bosch fuel injection and produces 180 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque.

Chassis number 11304412008365 is clearly displayed, and the title lists the VIN as 280SL008365. This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is currently offered in Salt Lake City and represents a wonderful opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of Mercedes-Benz history.

This 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup has an interesting history, having spent time in California and Arizona before being acquired by the current seller in 2017. Finished in Diamond Silver Metallic over Camel leatherette, this truck offers a blend of classic style and tasteful modern upgrades.

Under the hood, the Rabbit Pickup is powered by a 1.7-liter inline-four engine paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. The engine features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, delivering the original factory-rated 74 horsepower and 89 lb-ft of torque. The power is sent to the front wheels, maintaining the vehicle’s authentic driving experience.

The exterior is finished in Diamond Silver Metallic (LE7Y) and includes several distinctive touches such as a body-color front bumper cover, LED front turn signals, projector-style headlights, and Kamei-style hood vents. Additional features include dual side mirrors, factory integrated bed tie-downs, aftermarket taillights, a rear bumper delete, and an LED underglow kit for a modern flair. The truck rides on aftermarket 16″ web-spoke alloy wheels with gunmetal centers and polished lips, wrapped in Haida Racing HD921 tires. The lowered suspension setup includes adjustable front coilovers and rear drop plates with air shocks, enhancing both stance and handling.

Braking duties are handled by power-assisted front disc brakes paired with rear drums. Close-up photos reveal some minor imperfections, including a warped grille and blemishes in the paint, which are detailed in the accompanying gallery.

Inside, the cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Camel leatherette, complete with MK1 embroidery on the headrests. Unique appointments include a galaxy-style starlight headliner with integrated LED lighting, adding a touch of ambiance. The interior is also equipped with crank windows, a Bluetooth-capable Kenwood stereo connected to Rockford Fosgate speakers mounted behind the seats, and a two-spoke steering wheel framing an 85-mph speedometer alongside a fuel-level gauge.

Additional gauges for voltage, oil temperature, and oil pressure are mounted in a pod ahead of the shifter. Note that the six-digit odometer stopped working at approximately 41,000 miles, so the total mileage is unknown. The clock is non-functional, and the coolant temperature gauge occasionally sticks. The heating system’s blower motor is also inoperative.

Documentation includes a clean Carfax report showing the truck to be accident-free since its initial record in July 1992. However, the report does note a mileage inconsistency from August 2010 and “Exceeds Mechanical Limits” titles issued in August 2015 and June 2016.

Additional maintenance highlights include a battery replacement completed in April 2025. The truck is offered at no reserve and comes with removed parts, a Michigan title in the seller’s name, and detailed vehicle history.
