While there’s not a lot of information about this little Fiat, I was intrigued by the idea that the car had been stored indoors for 49 years. And then I looked at the pictures. For a car that was… more»
Dealers Truck: 1962 Datsun Pickup
There’s an interesting story behind this 1960 Datsun pickup! The current owner is the son of a former Datsun dealer owner. He drove this actual truck when he was 14, but unfortunately at 16 decided the engine needed improving…. more»
429 V8! 1969 Mercury Marquis
The first owner kept this California-native 1969 Marquis for 40 years. Apart from a shredded vinyl roof, I think the outside looks a lot like it did back in 1969. It’s now found in Covina, California and is for… more»
Lemons Wedge: 1978 Triumph TR7
What’s this? Jamie’s posting about another find being sold off a trailer? Nope, not this time. That’s my sad looking trailer, and rather than a flipper selling a car, this was a picture while we were on the way… more»
38k Miles! 1962 Corvair Convertible
Some cars just have an “honest” look about them. I think this is one of those cars; once you look it over I’d like to hear your thoughts, and if you agree that the 38,000 mile claim is legitimate…. more»
Motoring Monday: 1974 Triumph TR6 Kit
“Some Assembly Required”. Who else remembers that line from the boxes of many toy cars? It certainly applies to this 1974 Triumph TR6, offered for sale here on eBay with a starting bid of $5,999 and no reserve. The large… more»
Big Fastback Fish: 1965 AMC Marlin
Marlins are distinctive due to their huge fastback. I’ve heard from somewhere that the styling was intended for a smaller car, but I have no idea if it’s true or not (do any of you know?) Yes, the roofline… more»
Barn-Parked Since 1976: 1951 Henry J
America wasn’t really ready for a sensible compact car that was reliable and got (for the day) good gas mileage. So goes the story of the Henry J and Allstate, basic small transportation that just didn’t catch on the… more»
Needs Some Love: 1978 Chevrolet Corvette
This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette has a lot of issues. Over and above the non-stock components, such as the hood, fender vents (that don’t vents per the seller), wheels and rear spoiler, the seller adds that it has a leaky… more»
Three-Wheeler: 1984 Reliant Rialto
Fans of Top Gear and other British TV shows will recognize this three-wheeler as a Reliant. Offering inexpensive transportation with rust-free fiberglass bodies (but not frames!), the manufacturer offered three-wheelers from 1935 to 2001. This particular one is up… more»
Budget Buick: 1929 Marquette
I love to come across a car I’ve never heard of, and that’s what happened with this 1929 Marquette. Actually, it’s a lower priced Buick that was introduced just before the Great Depression hit. As best as I can… more»
Better Hurry: 1966 Jaguar S-Type
Yet another flipper that can’t be bothered to take the car off the trailer before picturing it, a pet peeve of mine. Nevertheless, it is my favorite Jaguar sedan, the S-Type, and fellow Barn Finds writer Jeff L knew… more»
84 Years Young: 1931 Chrysler CM6
The seller of this Chrysler survivor is quick to state that it’s not a barn find, but that it had always been garage until they purchased it. I think it still fits on this site though! It’s currently stored… more»
The SnowToaster: 1961 Thiokol Trackmaster
Short of your own personal tank, I can’t think of many vehicles that could go places this 1961 Snow Cat couldn’t! And it’s actually been modified to be even more capable than when it left the factory. Located in Lynnwood,… more»
Sport Sedan: 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta
Why can’t this one be closer to me? A non-rusted out, good running, good stopping Alfa sedan with twin sidedraft Webers and a 5-speed for a buy-it-now of $3,500? It’s here on eBay, but unfortunately for me it’s located… more»
A Trio Of Triumph TR3’s
Choices, choices! Today we have three Triumph TR3’s to choose from in three very different conditions. The yellow one is a typical barn find car, said to have been stored for over 40 years and in the same family’s… more»
