We’re in a golden age for vintage vehicles. Aside from the usual Corvettes and Mustangs that have held collectible status for decades, a whole generation of Radwood-era rides is finally getting its due (see the skyrocketing prices on ’90s Hondas, for example), along with other cars and trucks that have suddenly become enthusiast icons. Browsing today’s lineup of online car auctions gives you a front-row seat to all the action—and a relatively straightforward way to put one of these rides in your garage.
We scoured auction sites like Cars & Bids, Bring a Trailer, Hemmings, and more to put together a short list of some of the most intriguing vehicles up for grabs right now. See something you like? Bid on it. Not interested in our picks? Check back later—we’ll update this page with a fresh batch of car auctions every week.
The Best Car and Truck Auctions
1. 1990 Mitsubishi Montero
Although often overshadowed by Land Cruisers and other more well-known 4x4s, the boxy Montero is starting to gain more notoriety as off-roaders rediscover its impressive capability in the dirt and its striking good looks (which are especially strong on this particular example). The Montero’s upright, no-nonsense styling stands in stark contrast to the blob-like crossovers of today, and with its V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission, it should be a hoot to drive.

2. 1987 Buick Regal Grand National
The Grand National was one of the ultimate sleeper cars of the 1980s: Although it looks like the sedate Buick you might find in your grandpa’s driveway, it’s a beast under the hood. Powered by a 3.8L turbocharged V6, it boasts impressive performance, and this particular car comes with a lengthy list of modifications for an even more engaging driving experience.

3. 1951 Willys-Overland Jeep Pickup
When you think of a Jeep, you probably don’t imagine a pickup truck, but many pickups have carried the Jeep name over the years, including this pristine 1951 model. It benefits from an extensive body-off restoration that took 14 months to complete and included an engine rebuild, and it has been garage-kept and sparingly driven ever since. It’s a great pick if you’re looking for a vintage truck that nobody else will have, and it’s a unique piece of history, too.

4. 1967 Chevrolet Camaro
This classic Camaro has been with the same owner since new (it was originally purchased in Quebec and now resides in Ontario), and it has been lovingly cared for all its life. It has just 75,000 miles on the odometer and includes desirable options like a 327ci V8 engine, a four-barrel carburetor, a four-speed manual transmission, and a Positraction rear end. One drive in this and you’ll know exactly why the Camaro earned its reputation as a legendary muscle car.

5. 1966 Vespa VBB Sprint With Sidecar
Thinking about getting a Vespa but worried about how little room you’ll have for passengers and cargo? Here’s your solution. Refurbished in 2016, this bright red vintage scooter features a “Cozy Rocket” sidecar with a removable windshield, passenger seat, lockable storage compartment, and tonneau cover. With all the seats occupied, it’ll carry up to three people—just don’t expect to get anywhere quickly.
