Donohoo’s Classic Car Collection

We have had some pretty unique cars over the years. Here is a classic car collection list of some of our more unusual ones.

2002 Ford Thunderbird

In 2002 Ford reintroduced the Thunderbird after a four-year absence. They based their redesign on the iconic ’55-’57 T-Birds. Our ’03 model didn’t stay in our inventory for long. The silky-smooth DOHC V8 and iconic styling basically sold itself.

1978 Datsun 280Z

Datsun was a struggling manufacturer when they first entered the US market. It wasn’t until much later when it became Datsun Nissan and eventually just Nissan that the brand really took root in US soil. One of Datsun’s few successes was in Z series. In 1970 the Z was introduced. The styling was based after the Ferrari GTO with a Jaguar E-type inspired nose. While not wholly original, enthusiasts of the car can understand the subtle sports styling. Fast forward to 1978, the Z has a 2.8L SOHC six fuel injected engine. ’78 was also the first year AM/FM radio was standard. We ended up shipping this one up to the great state of West Virginia.

2002 Jaguar XJ8

The Jaguar XJ8 is a powerful luxury sedan with a roaring 4.0L V8 engine capable of 286 horsepower. While the exterior is dated, some would say it’s a call back to a classier look. It is hard to deny the smooth lines and hidden power behind Jaguar’s design.

1995 Ford Bronco

The ’95 Ford Bronco was made famously infamous by O.J. Simpson. We wonder if our Bronco delivered as smooth a ride like the one that leads police on the fateful chase on Interstate 405. In the mid-’90s Ford wasn’t known for their fuel efficiency and it is amazing the Bronco made it as far as it did at only 18 MPG highway.

1978 Chrysler Cordoba

Ah, the 1978 Chrysler Cordoba. Nothing captures the luxury of the Cordoba like saying Soft Corinthian Leather with a heavy accent. If you don’t believe me check out this video below. We ended up selling this to a guy all the way in Saudi Arabia. No lie. That leather must have been magical.

1984 Chevy C10

Chevrolet, a well-known producer of domestic trucks, has been manufacturing versions of the half-ton truck since 1918. In 1984, Chevy’s half-ton two-wheel-drive truck was labeled the C10. Chevy used this designation on Chevy trucks until 1999. While ours might not have been showroom ready, even in its advanced age and mileage it could still put in a full day’s work. That’s Chevy’s commitment to quality.

2005 Infiniti g35

Infiniti has become a staple in our inventory in recent years. Their styling is often different than Mercedes or BMW’s but they have been turning heads ever since 2003. ’03 was the first year Infiniti produced the G35. The G saw a short lifespan of just over 10 years. Infiniti has decided to rename all of their Sedans and Coupes with a prefix of Q. Some people, I included, think it is odd for them to do this but what do I know. It could pay off.

1984 Toyota Pickup

What is there to say about the Toyota Pickup? It works. Fuel efficient and reliable to boot the Pickup helped solidify Toyota in the US market. Ours was not the prettiest of trucks, but even decades after it rolled off the production line the truck still performed when asked to.
