What a fantastic-looking car! While Ford had managed to suck most of the air out of the automotive room in the ’20s and ’30s, this Chevrolet Master Coupe proves that there were viable, non-Ford, options available. A finely executed… more»

283 V8? 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Project
Well, I have to admit the truth, I really don’t like the first iteration (1953-1955) of America’s sports car known as the Corvette. There are probably those that think I’m some sort of blasphemer but the tailfins, six-cylinder power… more»

455 Gasser! 1955 Buick Special
We’ve covered gassers here on Barn Finds before, you know, the usual suspects like ’55 Chevrolets, Henry Js, and Ford Anglias. But here’s an old-skool twist, a 1955 Buick Special and it’s running Buick power no less! We gotta… more»

327/4-Speed: 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS
Years ago I owned a ’65 Malibu SS with a V8 engine and a four-speed manual transmission. At the time, it was a mostly worn-out, slightly rusty used car that cost, if I recall correctly, about $550. It never… more»

Killer 1964 Chevrolet Corvette 327/4-Speed Coupe!
OK, remember that old admonition about not judging a book by its cover. It’s easy to get tripped up on that little rule of life when first spying this ’64 Chevrolet Corvette. Admittedly, it’s a bit ratty-looking. But let’s… more»

Survivor Station Wagon: 1973 Ford Country Squire
Station wagons make regular appearances here on Barn Finds and Ford’s ubiquitous Country Squire is a regular and well-represented subject. Why so popular today? Probably a memory from long ago when we rode around in our family’s wagon, staring… more»

15K Miles! 1970 Ford F250 4X4 Brush Truck
A few weeks back, we covered this 1964 Seagraves fire truck. It was one of those, “What am I going to do with this?” sort of a post. Specialized vehicles always present that kind of a conundrum but today’s… more»

French Barn Find: 1959 Renault Dauphine
So what is a “Dauphine”? Well, Merriam-Webster says that a Dauphine is the wife of a Dauphin. OK, so what’s a Dauphin? Again, according to Webster, a Dauphin is the eldest son of a king. So somehow, we’ve gone… more»

V8 British Bruiser: 1972 Jensen Interceptor
This may seem like an odd assessment. I view the Jensen Interceptor, such as this 1972 example, in three distinct segments. There’s the front, then the engine, and finally, the rear. Hold that thought, there will be more to… more»

Rod Or Restore? 1946 Mercury Eight Convertible
This find seems to have the seller guessing a bit as to what year it is. The listing title refers to it as a ’46 but the text then references a ’46, ’47, or ’48. Further examination tells me… more»

Skylark V8 Equipped! 1962 Buick Special
Throughout the fifties, domestic cars were, for the most, part, standard-sized. The wheelbase dimensions changed based on trim levels, but full-size cars were the mainstay. Take Buick for example, 1960 saw models including the Electra, Invicta, and LeSabre, produced… more»

Big-Block Powered 1974 Plymouth Duster
When I first spied this Duster I thought, that’s an interesting subject, a ’74 Duster with some bluster! By ’74, the performance bender, that had started years before, was all but over, and Plymouth’s everyman economy compact had to… more»

427/4-Speed! 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne
I do have a tendency to migrate towards old full-size domestic cars. Even though they were a mainstay of American motoring for many years, and there were so many non-descript versions made, they have rapidly disappeared from our landscape…. more»

39K Mile Convertible: 1967 Ford Galaxie 500
And now for a little bit of comparison. Earlier in the week, we covered this neat ’70 Ford XL convertible. It’s a bit rough around the edges but not without its possibilities. Today, we have a similar ’67 Galaxie… more»

Carport Find: 1951 Cadillac Sixty-Two Sedan
This 1951 Cadillac Sixty-Two isn’t exactly a barn find, it’s more like a carport find and it has been parked, according to the seller, for a very long time. But, he was able to get it out, started, cleaned… more»
