Welcome to Vintage Motors of Lyons

Front of the shop in Lyons

We sell, consign, purchase, and locate cars of interest for folks that appreciate them. We  always carry an eclectic selection of classics. Whether you are wanting that perfect  Sunday driver, a project car, or a higher end investment, we probably have a car that you will enjoy!

I have been passionate about cars since I was a kid in the '50's and '60's and bought my first car while in high school, which was a then 10 year old 1958 MGA. Since then I have enjoyed and nurtured many classics, both foreign and domestic. I decided to follow and share my passion for cars by creating a welcoming marketplace to not only sell cars, but open a place for everyone to come in and check out and talk cars, look at car books, magazines, posters, artwork, etc..

Our shop was originally built as a Texaco gas station in the 1940's and is conveniently located at the junction of the two highways leading to the Rocky Mountains just north west of Boulder. You won't miss us at the west end of Main Street.  Lyons is a fun, small town offering nationally known live music festivals and brewpub; shops and great fly fishing, kayaking, tubing, hiking, and mountain biking.  The South St. Vrain Canyon is among many great driving roads in the area.

The best part of this business has been all of the great people we meet. Thanks for visiting our site and I hope to meet you whenever you are in the area.

1966 Volkswagen Bug – Sold

1966 VW Bug For Sale. Fun, cool little Bug. One of my favorite personal cars but its time for me to pass it on to someone that will drive and use it more than I have been recently.

I bought it out of Southern Cal with CA black plates 6+ years ago; not rusty, solid car. Runs and drives well. It scoots along pretty well with its dual port engine with twin Weber carbs and extractor exhaust. A blast to drive!

Paint is scruffy, “great patina”. Originally Bahama Blue, then sunshine yellow and now is in the same PT Boat Gray I bought it with. Unassuming, last of the glass covered headlight cars, good classic German chrome steel bumpers, vintage roof rack. Red leatherette interior in great shape. Now 12 v electrical with alternator; heat tubes off/heat channels good, wipers on the fritz, good sound from more modern Blaupunkt AM/FM Cassette built into the rear of the glove compartment, old classic Blaupunkt radio still in dash.

Hard to find good ones of these anymore. The next 912!!  JUST SOLD – THANK YOU

1967 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII – Sold

1967 Austin Healey 3000 Mk III BJ8 For Sale.  Last year for the classic big Healeys. In excellent condition. Body off restoration with both a new chassis and rack and pinon steering from Jule; these coupled with the Bilstein front tube shock conversion provide a much improved handling and driving experience. Engine and overdrive transmission rebuilt, new wiring harness, new factory correct interior, new top, brakes, suspension, exhaust, etc., etc.. Finished beautifully in red with black interior and soft top, with 72 spoke chrome wire wheels (5), a Heritage Trust Certificate, manuals, receipts, fitted cover, jack and tools.

This Healey starts, runs, drives, shifts, and stops beautifully without issues; plus it is as clean and neat underneath as it on top!  Hard to find a much nicer big Healey.

To quote Mike Lawrence, author of The Essential Austin Healey  ” True classic cars do not become so with age… ‘they’ start with an indefinable magic. The Healey had it from Day One. What is it? If you to have to ask, you’ll never know.”

JUST SOLD – THANK YOU!
