1945 Volkswagen Beetle

Hopefully you still have space left in your garage for a new vintage score. Who are we kidding, really — you probably do. So, check out this 1945 Volkswagen Beetle, now up for auction care of Hemmings.

From 1938 to 2003, Volkswagen made 21.5 million Beetle cars, which effectively makes it one of the best-selling cars of all time. This particular unit is going for $280,000, and we understand if you’re rolling your eyes right now. That price is unacceptable, especially for something so widespread, anyway. But hear us out for a minute, would you?

This is not just any 1945 Volkswagen Beetle. This is actually an ultra-rare Typ 51 Beetle, imported to Australia for evaluation by the Australian government in 1947 as part of Germany’s reparations for the Second World War. Built in 1945 as its name suggests, this car is three inches higher and has an engine made in 1946.

It received a pretty rigorous restoration job using the original body panels. The car comes in its original flat black color and is in excellent running condition. Mileage is at just 69,435, which isn’t so bad. Yes, the Beetle enjoyed a pretty massive production run. At that, this car is effectively, well, unspecial. Still, any early Beetle is an icon, and you need to act fast if you want this under your garage roof.

1970 International Harvester Scout 800

Name a more iconic car from the 1970s than the International Harvester Scout. It was, as they say, the first true Sport Utility Vehicle. If you’re crazy for ‘70s-era cars, this one’s up for grabs now over at Bring A Trailer.

This 1970 International Harvester Scout 800 is astonishingly restored to perfection. Underneath the whole beastly ride is a 304ci V8 engine. That’s mated to a four-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case. The truck also comes with everything you’ll ever need if you’re hatching a plan to brave the tumultuous outdoors. Suffice it to say that this is the perfect vehicle for backcountry adventurers. It’s not the best in the market right now, of course. But it gets the job done. The nostalgic appeal is just the icing on top.

This 4×4 comes in a sleek military green color — not too fancy, not too shabby. Just right — the perfect shade of neutral if you’re not really up for showing it off. The restoration added several alterations, by the way. So expect to find power steering, a dual exhaust system, aftermarket wheels, and fender flares. Not to mention custom upholstery, a rear receiver hitch, roof rails, and aftermarket bumpers.

Its allow 15-inch wheels come wrapped in Thunderer Trac Grip mud-terrain tires. What did we say, eh? Outdoor-ready, indeed. The International Harvester Scout 800 is now available. It comes with recent service records plus a clean Oregon title. If you want your truck with a slight nostalgic kick, this is the one to get.
