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»

Mercury Marauder Powered 1958 Ford Ranchero

When it comes to utes, Chevrolet’s El Camino always seems to be the scene-stealer. Of course, Ford beat Chevrolet to the punch, two years earlier, with their Ranchero, and today’s find is a first-gen from 1958. Not featured often… more»

Posed Patina? 1937 Ford Panel Truck

As one can imagine, old Ford trucks, by their sheer production volume, are still commonly encountered. A panel version, however, is another matter as they don’t surface as often. Similar in nature to a sedan delivery, panel trucks from… more»

Same Family Since New: 1952 Ford Ranch Wagon

All hail the two-door station wagon like this 1952 Ford Ranch Wagon. As popular as ever, they usually don’t remain as-is for long. Before this example gets snagged and visions of a hot-rod hauler dance through the next owner’s… more»

390/4-Speed? 1967 Ford F-350 Camper

Last week, we covered this unusual Brazilian VW camper. Yes, it looks like a handful, considering its height but the majority of comments zeroed in on its 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine that is sure to provide glacially slow acceleration. Well,… more»

Supercharged Barn Find: 1964 Chevrolet Corvette

Back in the day, it wasn’t unusual to see a Corvette set up for drag racing. Knowing what a ‘Vette was designed to do, it always seemed like a peculiar, if popular choice for modification. This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette… more»
