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.

The Best Car and Truck Auctions

1. 2005 BMW X5

The X5 was a major milestone for BMW. It was the German automaker’s first-ever SUV, and it was a hit for its combination of luxury and sporty driving characteristics. That’s especially true on this model, which is equipped with all-wheel drive and a rare six-speed manual transmission. If you want a sports car but need to haul lots of stuff (or get through the snow), this is your answer. (If you need something smaller, check out this manual-equipped X3 that’s also up for auction.)

2. 1970 Cadillac Coupe de Ville

The Coupe de Ville is the quintessential luxo-barge of the ‘70s. If this convertible’s sheer size isn’t enough to turn heads, the glowing red paint (which the seller claims to hand polish twice a year) and white leather upholstery definitely will. It’s rust-free, the convertible top functions correctly, and it’s powered by a 375-horsepower V8—but speed isn’t the goal. This ship was made for cruising.

3. 1972 Ford Bronco

Too impatient to wait for a new Bronco to arrive at your local dealer’s lot? Pick up an original. This ‘72 Bronco recently received a thorough cosmetic restoration, including a fresh paint job, powder-coated frame, new vinyl upholstery, and new carpets. It’s almost 50 years old, but it’ll feel better than new.

4. 2000 Honda Prelude

The collector market is waking up to the value of Honda sports cars (especially at car auctions), and this Prelude checks all the boxes. VTEC 2.2-liter four paired with a five-speed manual? Check. AC and sunroof? Check. Under 100,000 miles? Check. It even comes with a receiver hitch for mounting a bike rack. What more could you need?

5. 1948 Indian Chief

If you find a more beautiful motorcycle than this Indian Chief, let us know. Lovingly restored in 2010 and upgraded with a suite of new parts, this bike’s gleaming chrome and sweeping lines make it a true work of art. This is the bike you want to ride into the sunset, but just make sure you give it a test ride first: With its right-hand shifter lever and foot clutch pedal, it works a little differently than the modern Ducati in your garage.
