Barn Find Beauty? 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III

Questionable styling aside, this 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III, as barn found, is a pretty scary-looking hulk. With the Lincoln Continental in its first year of “Joker” styling, it’s just that more ominous looking as it emerges from its… more»

Split Window Project: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette

Update! The seller has weighed in and states that he has located $20K worth of parts, they are not included with the car. So, please talk among yourselves about the real “true value” of this project. JO And now… more»

No Reserve Project: 1969 Chevrolet C-10

If you watch the typical televised auto auctions you’ll note that while muscle cars are still immensely popular, pickup trucks are running right behind them, particularly short bed ’67-’72 Chevrolet/GMC’s and early ’50s Fords. Actually, the values have become… more»

Rare Barn Find! 1957 Aston Martin DB Mark III

Prior to 1964, many on U.S. shores were not familiar with Great Britain’s brilliant Aston Martin motor cars. A  spectacular spy movie that premiered that year introduced the uninitiated to the Aston Martin marque. But A-M occupied a significant… more»

1956-1962 MGA Parts Extravaganza!

Long ago, there was a fast-food TV commercial whose tagline proclaimed, “Parts is Parts“. Well, maybe that’s true with fast food but not so much with cars. Sure, it’s always possible to take a part that was made for… more»

23 Year Barn Rescue: 1968 Ford Mustang

Mustang GT? Nope. Mach 1? Nyet. Boss 302? Uh-uh. It’s a Mustang alright but just a straight-up ordinary, non-messed with, 1968 Ford Mustang coupe, not exactly an every day find these days. Let’s give this plain-jane pony car a… more»

UPDATE: 1971 Mercury Comet GT Survivor

UPDATE: We previously featured this 1971 Mercury Comet GT back on June 10th, and it has reappeared on the market. It appears that this might be a case of a winning bidder who didn’t pay, so the owner has… more»

A Promising Pair? 1960 Chevrolet Sedan Deliveries

Well, it’s not exactly a BO-GO (buy one/get one), but if you purchase both of these cars there is a volume discount. And an unusual purchase the next owner will have in the form of a pair of 1960… more»

Return To Yesterday: Restored 1964 Winnebago

“Go RVing!” as the tagline proclaims today. This isn’t exactly an RV but it certainly possesses that sentiment and is exactly how people hit the open road back in the ’60s. I’m not much of a camper, I’ve done… more»

Upgraded Powerplant: 1933 Chevrolet Master Coupe

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»
