LS Swapped Short Bed: 1979 Chevrolet C10

Original 350 V8: 1970 Chevrolet Nova

Only 38K Miles! 1991 Geo Metro Convertible

Asking Too Little? 1953 GMC Five Window Pickup

This 1953 GMC pickup truck is like the goldilocks equivalent of just right. Some that I have reviewed are a wreck and others have been so extensively restored or modified that one would need a mortgage to make the… more»

Classic Glamper? 1951 Chevrolet 3800 Panel

This 1951 Chevrolet 3800 is referenced as, potentially, a “glamper”. The Oxford dictionary defines “glamping” as, “A form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping.” Uh, I think this truck misses that… more»

Project With Parts: 1931 Ford Model A

Parts are parts and in the case of this 1931 Model A, there’s a bunch. Dismantled in 1958, this A has been sitting all that time and undergone a partial restoration. The seller wants to move this Ford on… more»

Factory Racer! 1966 Ford Custom R-Code 427

I remember a time when people who bought Ford Custom or Chevrolet Biscayne two-door sedans were usually of the “get off of my lawn” persona. And they were generally individuals that were, how should I say it, financially conservative…. more»

50 Year Garage Find! 1950 International L111

Dusty 1948 Buick Super Barn Find

Update 11/6/20 – The seller has dropped their price here on eBay by a grand but is that enough to convince someone to drag it home? From 3/2/20 – A few months back, I reviewed a nicely preserved 1948… more»

One 40 Year Owner: 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/E

Here’s a new one from our friends at Gullwing Motor Cars, a 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/E. It has had single ownership for 40 years and it’s now searching for a new caretaker. At $267,500 (gulp!) this Ferrari is more… more»

Patina Survivor: 1966 Triumph TR4

Recently, I reviewed both Triumph TR3s and TR6s, so how about a TR4? This 1966 model’s creased lines and silver, removable hardtop caught my attention, so let’s check this one out in detail. It is located in Parkville (Baltimore),… more»

Sandpiper Special: 1977 Chevrolet Chevette

“An uninspired dog cart” is how Jean Lindamood Jennings described a Chevette in Car and Driver magazine many years ago. Another pundit at that august publication referred to the oft-maligned sub-compact as a “bleedin’ garden tractor”. No respect. Nevertheless,… more»

Parked In The ’80s: 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

Mercedes-Benz 190 SL two-seaters turn up fairly often here on Barn Finds. And as you would expect, most are true barn finds and look the part. This 1959 version is no different, it has been sitting since the ’80s… more»
