Here are some of the best classic cars that were on sale on Qatar Living in 2016
Who wouldn’t love to invest in a set of new wheels? If you head over to the Qatar Living cars section, you can find thousands upon thousands of entries about cars for sale.
But this being the year’s very end, we decided to delve deep and find some of the oldest and vintage cars that were offered for sale on QL. A few of them have been sold as well.
Some of these cars are legendary and will fill the heart of every car lover with pure, unadulterated joy. Check out the details and the ads by clicking on the links.
1980 Ford F100
The monster of a truck is fitted with a lot of original parts and will be a perfect collector’s item. Only original parts have been used in its restoration. Some parts are yet to be installed and will be given to the new owner as well.
You can check out the ad HERE.
1980 Toyota Crown
The 1980 Toyota Crown car is manual and a beauty. Well maintained and with manual gear. It occupies pride of place with a new owner. See the ad HERE.
1981 Triumph Spitfire
This is the FIRST Triumph of any kind ever to be imported to Qatar. The owner had to get clearance from multiple ministries to allow it to be registered in the Traffic Department database as the make and model did not exist until now!
The engine was disassembled and COMPLETELY REBUILT by replacing all gaskets/seals. It has less than 1,000km on the new engine! All parts orders and mechanic invoices are available.
The dual carburetor system has been switched to a better performing single Weber carburetor unit, which is handmade. The license plate is also unique. No wonder it was snapped up in no time. But you can still see the ad HERE.
1981 Corvette T-Top
The car has been sold. But the owner spent close to QR150,000 to restore it to its old beauty. It drives great and handles even better. The suspension system was completely upgraded.
Automatic transmission, V 8 small block engine with 200 HP, Power seats, CD player, Bluetooth, Aux, chrome wheels and AC works perfectly. It was a steal for whoever it was who bought it. HERE is the ad on QL Cars.
1982 Toyota Corolla
The 1.3ltr Toyota Corolla 70DX was purchased from Ali bin Ali Motors and is still with the first owner. It had been stored for a long time, but is completely accident free. Full paint job has been done. And it has been sold as well. See the ad HERE.
1984 Classic Cadillac Fleetwood
The car is in good working condition and everything is working normally. The mileage is 75,000km. Who is going to own this beauty? HERE is the ad for it.
1984 Nissan Datsun 300ZX
This car is a beauty for the ages. The car is manual transmission and is fresh inside and out. The Estemara is current and valid. It has run 100,000kms. And it continues to run with a new owner. See the beauty when it was first listed HERE.
1984 Ferrari 208 GTS Turbo
This is a thing of beauty. Look at that classic Ferrari red and the perfect body. This is a dream car for real auto lovers, but infortunately, it has already been sold. But you can still see the ad HERE.
1985 Porsche
This car was purchased in 1985 and is a true classic beauty. It was imported and that makes it even dearer. It is 2479CC, 4cylinder, 163 HP and had a five speed manual gear box.

Alikatar: They didn't post it because the ad does not say anything about you spending 20k and restoring the car; in fact it wrongly lists a cressida as a Camry and says the engine is canned and the car needs repair...further, the car is marked as sold, so we dont know if you even have the car or when you fixed it..
Carz: With a username, I have to say your attitude towards old cars is unfortunate...as for moving opposite to the world and thus being left behind; most people who have accomplished anything of note, have done so by going against the norm and being different in their approach...finally, you are completely, totally and categorically wrong that old cars cost more to run than new ones...the research and facts suggest otherwise and the numbers tell a different tale to your's :-)
Classic cars have character and individuality.. Yes, they're more expensive to run and maintain , but they bring lots of loy to the owners

Why you did not post this car...? i spent about 20000 to restore it and is now like brand new condition.
and FYI maintaining an old car in Qatar is more expensive in long run than buying a new..
The world is moving in one direction and some ppl like to move in another. We have to move with the present world or else will be left behind.....
unlike those modern day lamborghinis and ferraris*
@carz How dare you call 300zx and the others ew. most of them are legendary and have a soul, unlike those lamborghinis and ferraris...

Some have already been sold :O(
