When I first saw the pictures of this car, I thought English Ford, then Italian Fiat. I was surprised to find a Moskvitch for sale in Florida with a clear title; all the import work has been completed already…. more»
It Goes To Town! 1950 Crosley Farm-O-Road
I know something about the various Crosley cars, but this version was completely new to me. Right after World War II, the Jeep was familiar to returning servicemen and became useful on farms all over the United States. The… more»
One Owner Ghia: 1978 Ford Mustang II Coupe
Given the recent discussion about Mustang II’s on Barn Finds, I thought this would be a perfect time to look at this controversial pony a little further. This almost pristine example of the most luxurious Ghia version is currently… more»
It’s Been In Good Hands: 1953 Allstate
Did you know that Sears & Roebuck sold cars at one point? Allstates were offered through the famous Sears catalog in the early 1950’s. It wasn’t the first time Sears had sold cars; they sold high-wheelers in the early… more»
To “B” Or Not To “B”: 1963 Triumph TR3B
Some of you have felt that the TR3’s posted lately on Barn Finds have been too far gone to be bothered with. I decided to see what was out there if one wanted to spend a little more money…. more»
The Finest Around: 1980 Rover 3500 SD1
As past readers of the site may have guessed, I have a soft spot for unusual cars, especially British ones. Despite being unusual, the Rover 3500 deserved better in the US market. Brought over as the Jaguar-Rover-Triumph entity was… more»
A Pair Of Them: 1967 Sunbeam Alpines
When you look up “under appreciated British roadster” in the mythical automotive dictionary, I’m sure the Sunbeam Alpine (second generation) has to be right there. When new, Alpines offered more creature comforts, better rides, and arguably better styling then… more»
Fleet Of Finds In Modesto California

It’s A Car! It’s A Truck! It’s A 1957 Ford Ranchero!
Normally I check out the local craigslist ads at least once a day. Unfortunately I didn’t get my daily craigslist fix in as early as usual, so I didn’t spot this find as early as I would have liked… more»
One Of 6,000: 1963 Volvo P1800
I’ve wondered for a long time exactly what logic led Volvo to have the first P1800 bodies built by Jensen in England. Don’t get me wrong; I love British cars. But generally they were and are known for their… more»
Slightly Batty: 1957 Lincoln Capri
Lincoln in the ‘50s was a far cry from the Lincoln of today. Believe it or not, the brand was known for its high performance cars, especially the Capri model as seen here. Positioned below both the Continental and… more»
Iron Not So Giant: 1956 Lloyd LT600
My day job has me in Germany at the moment, and reader Markus R was kind enough to send us this intriguing Lloyd “bus” find located in Aschaffenburg , Germany. I can’t really decide what car it reminds me… more»
Sleeping Kitty: 1967 Mercury Cougar
I’ve had a soft spot for early Cougars ever since my father brought me a 1/43 scale plastic model of one shortly after its launch. That was followed by Aurora slot cars that I loved also. My mother had… more»
Cheap And Cheerful: 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500

Six Wheeled Party Bus: 1969 Alvis FV620 Stalwart
Remember the Alvis we recently featured, well we have another Alvis for you! Alvis continued making commercial and military vehicles after automobile production ended. One of the vehicles that was quite successful with the British Army was the 6-wheeled… more»
Chicken Coop Find: Standard Vanguard Sportsman
