Comfortable Cruiser: 1968 Chrysler New Yorker

Motoring Monday: 1961 Jaguar Mk IX Project

My wife is in love with Jaguar Mk. VII’s, VIII’s and IX’s and eventually wants one. Consequently, I am in a constant search for the right car, although I think there will have to be a thinning of our… more»

Tri-Five Under $4k! 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

I was pretty surprised to see this classic Chevy for such a low price, but then I started reading further, and there are good reasons. There are some good reasons that it may be a bargain as well! This… more»

1966 International Harvester Wrecker

I have a tow vehicle and a trailer with a winch for towing home my barn finds… or the race car when it breaks, or the Triumphs when the Prince of Darkness strikes! I’m looking at this wrecker and… more»

South Florida Sunshine: 1969 Datsun 1600 Roadster

Yes, Virginia, Datsun did make sports cars before the 240Z. And they were good ones! While this isn’t the more desirable larger-engined 2000, the 1600 is a nice convertible in its own right. Thanks to Jim S for spotting… more»

Sable Coat in the Garage: 1964 Bentley S3

Imagine putting this Bentley in your garage as a daily driver (if it would fit, not too sure it would in mine)! A true garage find with a claimed three owners from new, this relatively rare (less than 1,300… more»

All Original: 1970 Toyota Corona Deluxe

I had been skeptical of the “goodness” of Toyotas until recently. No cars can be that reliable and that undemanding, right? Or at least that’s what I thought, but I’ve been proven wrong as two very-high mileage (230k+) Camrys… more»

Parked Since ’87: 1959 Rambler Custom Six

I’m sure this car must have a tremendous back-story, like some of the other low-mileage AMC cars being found lately. I’m guessing this was someone’s “baby”, cossetted and hardly driven. There are now less than 11,000 miles on the… more»

British Motoring Monday: 1959 Triumph 10 Estate

The Triumph 10 (or Standard 10 in the rest of the world) was a compact sedan and wagon line in the late 50’s. Standard-Triumph continued to try to take on the “big boys” with a fairly complete range of… more»

Another Pair: 1966 And 1974 MGBs

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a pair of rubber-bumper MGBs that were available as entry-level classics. Imagine my surprise this morning to find two of the more desirable (to most) chrome bumper models on eBay, both… more»

37 Years In A Barn: 1948 Ford F3 Pickup

Now this is a true barn find! Parked in a “dry barn” 37 years ago, this 1948 Ford F3 pickup just oozes that barn find patina. I found myself wondering if the tires really still hold air or if… more»

Bargain Drop-Top: 1974 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible

As a huge fan of the Love Bug movies growing up, I’m surprised I’ve never owned a Beetle. That doesn’t mean I’m not a fan, though—the simplicity and robustness of the little car has charmed many through the years…. more»

Not Quite A GT40: Fiberfab Avenger V8

You may remember Fiberfab, if you’re old enough, from their dreamlike ads for their kit cars in the back of motoring magazines. Promising exotic sports car looks with only a little effort, I remember thinking how easy it looked…. more»

British Motoring Monday: 1958 Berkeley Project

The first time I ever saw a Berkeley it was hanging on the wall of a foreign car repair shop in Raleigh, NC. Turns out the shop owner had it and had run out of convenient storage places, wasn’t… more»

Teutonic Convertible: 1968 Mercedes 280SL

Mid-60’s Mercedes have a well-earned reputation of being rock-solid and reliable, if not overly dynamic. The “pagoda-roof” convertibles (so named because of the unusual hardtop profile shown in this picture) are no exception, and they also come with attractive… more»

Low Mileage Parts Hauler: 1960 Ford Ranchero

We’ve talked about the larger early Ford Rancheros recently on Barn Finds, but I have a soft spot for this smaller, Falcon-based version. In my favorite period Wimbledon White color, this would be the basis for my perfect shop… more»
