Barn Fresh Step-Through: 1946 Cushman Series 50

This gorgeous Cushman Step-Through scooter is a claimed California barn find that the seller will not have time to restore. Frankly, it looks too nice to do anything other than refresh the mechanicals and enjoy. The price is strong,… more»

Period Modifications: Rusty Alfa Romeo GTV

I spotted this 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV on craigslist a few weeks ago, as did Barn Finds reader Roger. This is a complete basketcase, but I can somewhat understand why someone purchased it from a Copart auction and is now trying to save it…. more»

Desirable Manual: 1974 Avanti II

Orange Tartan: 1974 VW Westfalia Pop-Top
