Hot off the press: Unrestored originals in Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car

Here at Hemmings, we love unrestored, original cars – especially when they’re driven regularly. So you know we had a good time putting together the May 2013 issue (#93) of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car, with a bevy of fantastic survivors from an array of marques.
There’s everything from a 1977 Datsun 280Z to a 1962 Triumph TR4 that’s given its owner 51 years of motoring pleasure. And don’t forget the 1970 BMW 2002 that’s stayed in the family, passed from father to…

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1984 Renault R5 Turbo 2

The Eighties and even the Nineties would have been so much more interesting if more manufacturers had taken their front-drive econoboxes and moved their engines to the back to create little rally monsters like this 1984 Renault R5 Turbo 2 for sale on Hemmings.com, a recently serviced example that appears ready to rock. From the seller’s description:
This R5 Turbo is one of the best I have ever owned and I have owned many. It is exceptional both above and beneath, the mechanicals are excellent and …

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1936 Brewster Town Car

Among the vehicles in the Hemmings Sibley Shop collection is a heart-grille Brewster much like this 1936 Brewster Town Car for sale on Hemmings.com, and though it’s not nearly as nice it’s easily one of the more popular cars in the collection.

His topic of choice: his entirely original 1967 Triumph GT6, which he bought from its original owner. With videographer Don Ashley manning the camera, Richard not only gives us the story of the car and shows us what makes it special, but discusses all that there is to love about original condition cars.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T

While we wouldn’t call this 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T for sale on Hemmings.com a time warp or all-original car, it still has its original 375hp Magnum 440 V-8 and remains unrestored and in solid shape, ideal for the basis of a restoration or just for hitting the streets and making a little noise at the stoplights. From the seller’s description:
Straight from the 3rd owner who has owned this desirable 440 RT for the last 21 years! Incredible find, an all original Dodge Coronet RT with the origin…

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1947 Mercury M-series pickup

Project truck? Farm truck? General around-town beater? Whatever the fate of this 1947 Mercury M-series 1/2-ton pickup for sale on Hemmings.com, whoever buys it will at least find a rust-free and apparently driveable example, thanks to its current owner keeping it off the road and in hibernation for the last 40-plus years. From the seller’s description:
In 1967 I started working on this with good friend from school, this was taken off the road in mid 60s due to motor issues.was taken apart and repa…

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1971 BMW 2002

Cars are meant to be driven, and this 1971 BMW 2002 for sale on Hemmings.com just begs to have some miles put on it. With a non-stock drivetrain, it’s certainly not suited to becoming a trailer queen or investment vehicle, and with just about everything sorted, it appears ready to hit the road right away. From the seller’s description:
This car is super clean; a 1971 body and chassis that has had a complete rebuild/restoration with the drivetrain from a 1974 tii. This was professional done l…

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1956 Nash Metropolitan restomod

We’ve always wondered why most people who hot rod a Nash (or Hudson) Metropolitan choose the V-8/Pro Street approach when there are plenty of ways to boost the performance of the stock Austin four-cylinder setup. Which is why we applaud the builder of this 1956 Nash Metropolitan restomod for sale on Hemmings.com for mixing and matching Austin and MG parts to create a modified Met that one can actually use on the street. From the seller’s description:
This exceptional little Metropolitan Coup…

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1979 International Harvester Scout II

Inspired by the recent story on International Harvester’s concept minivans and station wagons, we thought we’d go in search of an IHC product that actually made it to production, and came up with this gorgeous 1979 International Harvester Scout II for sale on Hemmings.com. Besides being impossibly clean, we’d rock it just for those plaid seat covers. From the seller’s description:
The body was and solid to begin with, and it’s just been repainted to a high standard in corre…
