Two For One! 1978 Ford Fiesta Sport

A Ford Fiesta on Barn Finds? Yup, that’s what we have today, a 1978 MK-1 “Sport” model that the seller refers to as a “rare car sport model US-spec”.  OK, I’m not sure what that means but let’s investigate… more»

455/4-Speed? 1977 Pontiac Trans Am

No Reserve 1973 Plymouth Road Runner 340

Most things eventually come into their own. The first-gen (’68-’70) Plymouth Road Runner has been a hot collectible ticket for a long time and the second-gen (’71-’74) is following suit – maybe not quite to the extent yet, but… more»

Shed Find: 1969 Dodge Coronet Deluxe

Not an R/T! Not a Super Bee! It’s just a plain-jane 1969 Dodge Coronet, specifically, a Deluxe coupe, which we were advised via the ’69 Dodge sales brochure was “the lowest price Coronet for 1969″. Whether it would be… more»

Worn But Running: 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline

While maybe not as stylish as its Bel Air two-door hardtop stablemate, the 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline DeLuxe two-door sedan was an attractive departure from prevailing designs of the day. And those designs included Chevrolet’s own ’51 Styline two-door coupe… more»

Affordable Project? 1976 Datsun 280Z

In some instances as car models age, sort of like people, they become larger, heavier, and technologically more adept. A case in point is this 1976 Datsun 280Z. It still looks basically like the original Z car incarnation, the… more»

383-Powered 1968 Chrysler Town & Country Wagon

In profile, this 1968 Chrysler Town and Country is a boat and a half! But then again, that’s how full-sized cars, station wagons, in particular, rolled back then. And of course, this example separates itself from the hoi polloi… more»

Hot Rod Hauler: 1947 Dodge C.O.E.

It must be COE (cab over engine) truck week at Barn Finds. A few days ago, we featured this 1939 Chevrolet and today it’s a 1947 Dodge which appears to be a model F or H. But again, things… more»

351/4-Speed Export Version: 1971 Ford Mustang

Talk about a flashback, a high-school classmate of mine had a 1971 Ford Mustang that looked just like this Hyde Park, Massachusetts domiciled example. The second that I spied it on our tip list I knew that I’d want… more»

Former Wrecker: 1939 Chevrolet COE Truck

I frequently wind up a post with a “What to do with it?” question and ask readers to offer their ideas and suggestions as to what to do with a vehicle whose continuing purpose in life is not self-evident…. more»

No Reserve 27K Mile 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi

I always wanted one of these! Exactly why, I’m not sure, perhaps it’s the typical flashy red finish, the unmistakable Ferrari growl, the chrome shifter gate, the unique star wheels, and the inimitable Ferarri panache that just meshes perfectly…. more»

Only 11K Miles! 1976 Chevrolet Caprice Classic

I’ll admit it, I’ve owned a bunch of full-size Chevies, models that are technically known as B-Bodies. I’m really not sure why, it probably has something to do with their ubiquitousness – they were everywhere at one time. And,… more»

52 Years “Young”: 1969 Subaru 360

This is a Subaru! A 1969 Model 360 to be exact. Prior to about 1980, I had probably never heard of, much less seen a Subaru – or at least, gave little thought to the up and coming brand…. more»

Supercharged! 1963 Studebaker Gran Turismo

Mention Studebaker and the year 1963, in the same breath, and most will assume that you’re talking about the end for the South Bend, Indiana-based, manufacture of cars and wheeled vehicles that dated back to the Conestoga wagon era…. more»

Running Roundie: 1971 BMW 2002

Somewhere in late ’70 or early ’71, I learned what a BMW 2002 was. A friend’s older brother had a 1969 model, finished in typically found silver, and on the surface, I viewed it as an unusual-looking foreign car…. more»
