The 5 Best Used Cars for Sale on AutoGuide This Week

1. 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

For those who value modern performance with a raw, analog feel, this 2019 Shelby GT350 is a standout. Located in North San Jose, California, this Oxford White beauty has only 26,000 miles on the odometer. It features the highly coveted Gen 2 "Voodoo" 5.2L V8—famous for its flat-plane crank and screaming redline—paired with a TREMEC 6-speed manual. This particular example is a meticulously maintained, garage-kept collector-quality car that has never seen a track, making it a rare find for a chassis designed specifically for them.

• Price: $57,000
• Key Highlight: Includes the Technology Package and a clean, enthusiast-serviced history.

2. 1999 Lotus Esprit V8

Few cars capture the "poster car" aesthetic quite like the Lotus Esprit. This 1999 V8 model, located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, is finished in a stunning Deep Purple Metallic (Aubergine)—a shade reportedly applied to only five units. With 35,000 miles and a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V8 boosted by a Sport350 performance chip, this "Ellie" is as fast as it is rare. It has been under enthusiast ownership for the last decade and comes with a documented service history from specialized facilities.

• Price: $65,000
• Key Highlight: A rare color-matched factory finish and a recent transmission service.

3. 1965 Pontiac GTO

If your heart beats for classic American muscle, this 1965 Pontiac GTO in Night Watch Blue is a dream come true. Located in Aiken, South Carolina, this numbers-matching legend features the iconic 389 ci V8. While it looks like a period-correct masterpiece, it has been thoughtfully upgraded for modern roads with a Tremec 5-speed manual conversion, an enhanced cooling system with dual electric fans, and aftermarket heat and AC. It’s the perfect blend of 60s heritage and 21st-century reliability.

• Price: $60,000
• Key Highlight: Numbers-matching engine and frame with a modern 5-speed drivability upgrade.

4. 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (Mexican Spec)

This is not your average "Big Body" Mustang. This 1973 Mach 1 is a Mexican-spec "Sports Roof" model finished in original Grabber Blue. Because it was produced for the Mexican market, it lacks the restrictive smog equipment found on US models of the same year and retains a higher compression ratio for its 351 Windsor engine. Currently located in Mexico but with pricing that includes delivery to Jacksonville, Florida, it features rare factory AC and the original "Rim Blow" steering wheel.

• Price: $32,550 (Landed in FL)
• Key Highlight: A rare high-compression export model that escaped the US "gas crisis" performance dip.

5. 1992 Volkswagen Corrado SLC (VR6 Swap)

For the project-minded enthusiast, this 1992 VW Corrado in Laguna Beach, California, offers massive performance potential. It has been transformed with a 3.2L 24V VR6 engine swapped from a 2008 Audi TT and a custom-built 02J transmission with a Wavetrac limited-slip differential. While it’s described as "90% complete" (needing some creature comforts like window wiring and AC re-installation), the mechanical backbone is professional-grade, featuring KW V1 coilovers and R32 rear brakes.

• Price: $14,900
• Key Highlight: An Audi TT engine swap providing a modern, high-horsepower twist on a classic VW silhouette.

When you browse these listings, you aren't just looking at a car; you’re looking at a vehicle that has likely been documented, discussed, and obsessed over by a dedicated community of experts. From the specialized knowledge found on GT350.org to the technical build threads of VWVortex, these cars come from owners who truly love what they drive. As a result, you’ll find some of the most unique, rare, and sometimes wonderfully quirky vehicles on the planet—cars that you simply won't find anywhere else.
