An Imperial Discovery! 1969 LeBaron Barn Find

Ready For Finishing: 1968 Plymouth Road Runner

My favorite year! No, not chronologically, I mean my favorite year Plymouth Road Runner.  Sometimes, the first is the best and that’s how I vote on the ’68 edition. This Road Runner isn’t exactly a “runner” but it’s still… more»

Rare Barn Find: 1950 Sunbeam Talbot Alpine Mk I

Now we’re talkin’, a for-real barn find in an actual barn – that’s a perfect image! Now the description is a bit confusing as this car is referred to as a Sunbeam Talbot Alpine and that’s close but not… more»

396 Turbo-Jet! 1968 Chevrolet Caprice Coupe

I have been covering a lot of full-size American hardtops and sedans as of late, and of course, the erstwhile Chevrolet Impala always makes the cut. It’s pure math, there were so many built from the late ’50s through… more»

55K Mile Survivor: 1968 Dodge Coronet

Time to take a look at another example of the non-muscle car version of a muscle car (it should probably be the other way around). Anyway, this 1968 Dodge Coronet is the generic version of Dodge’s mid-size model that… more»

390/4-Speed! 1968 Ford XL Coupe

Full-size car, full-size power, and a four-speed manual gearbox to boot, what’s not to like? Talk about by-gone times but that’s how things were in the late ’60s. Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Dodge, and Plymouth all offered four-speed manual transmissions… more»

Lance Reventlow’s 1962 Shelby Cobra

Most car guys/gals know what a Shelby Cobra is. Even those that are not consumed with all things automotive know one when they see it. A “Lance Reventlow” owned Cobra? Well, that one’s not ringing a bell. I researched… more»

Storage Unit Find: 4-Speed 1961 Jaguar MK2

It’s like a British smoking room on wheels! Jaguar advertising referred to the Mark II as, “Grace… Space… Pace”. This example is a bit forlorn looking on all three fronts but perhaps it can be resurrected. Let’s look it… more»

The seller of this ’72 Jeep Commando is pretty adamant as he states, “Lots of good parts. Again for who thinks it’s fixable IT IS A Parts VEHICLE“. So the premise here is that this is really a pile… more»

Body Not Included: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Chassis

Big Barn Find: 1965 Chrysler New Yorker Wagon

Talk about a land barge,  this 1965 Chrysler is one big wagon! We cover Ford and Chevy wagons from time to time on Barn Finds, and some Dodge and Plymouth intermediates too, but this New Yorker wagon is the… more»

TPI 5-Speed: 1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

It only seems logical that third-gen (1982-1992) Chevrolet Camaros would start to come into their own. They are frequently overshadowed by first, second, and even fourth-gen versions. That being the case, this 1989 IROC-Z is a nice find, it’s… more»

No Reserve Rarity! 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass W31

Referenced as, “A Real Deal Original Owner, matching all the paperwork from Day 1“, this 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass W31 isn’t exactly that. It is fantastically documented but the seller is not the original owner, he acquired it from the… more»

Six-Cylinder! 1968 MGC GT

Well, I’ve heard of an MG MGC, but this is the first GT example that I have encountered. Pretty short-lived, the MGC sold in both roadster and coupe (GT) versions, like this example, and I’m thrilled to have this… more»

Genuine LT-1: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Barn Find

By 1972, the clouds were gathering over the domestic performance car scene. The Federal Clean Air Act of 1970, gave manufacturers until 1975 (later extended) to clean up exhaust. GM started down that path in ’71 and then pursued… more»
