For whatever reason, I gravitate towards the Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger, much more so than I do towards other British sports cars and it’s not necessarily due to the Tiger’s version V8 engine. It is probably more to do with the… more»
Factory 5-Speed: 1976 Oldsmobile 442
The first time that I encountered one of these five-speed manual transmission-equipped Oldsmobile Cutlasses was about a year and a half ago at a local Cars and Coffee. A friend picked me up in his Challenger Hellcat and after… more»
M-Code 351 Equipped: 1970 Ford Torino GT
Do you know what’s great about this ’70 Ford Torino GT? It’s not a ’70 Chevelle SS or Roadrunner. OK, OK, before all of the poison darts start coming my way, I’m more a Chevy/Plymouth/Dodge guy, (as domestics go)… more»
Sliding Pillar Suspension: 1966 Morgan DHC
Unlike some finds that have recently turned up, this 1966 Morgan Drop Head Coupe is not unheard of but hardly commonplace either. Morgan is a storied brand, just not encountered often. This 1966 example is a driver and seems… more»
French Find: 1966 Citroen HY Pickup
In the continuing quest to find and bring unusual vehicles to Barn Finds readers, here’s another for the “seldom seen” category, a 1966 Citroen HY pickup. Unusual? You bet, I know I’ve never seen one in the steel and… more»
Hemi Powered! 1961 Daimler SP 250
What’s a Daimler SP250? I’d never heard of it and assumed that it was a product from Germany’s famed Daimler AG. Nope. Is it notable? It was voted the ugliest car at the 1959 New York Motor show, so… more»
Sporty And Stylish: 1971 Saab Sonett III
Certain auto brands conjure different images. Saab, in particular, is one that recalls small rounded, quirky two-cycle, compact cars or more mature 900, 9-3 and 9-5 sedans, coupes and convertibles. Unfortunately, today Saab doesn’t conjure much of any thought… more»
Original Family Owned: 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
A first-gen Monte Carlo is my favorite; I really have little interest in the MC after those first three years (’70-’72). And a first-gen isn’t that unusual a find, they are still pretty common. But most cars, especially if… more»
Only 24K Miles! 1989 Maserati TC
OK, is it a Maserati, a LeBaron, something in between or just a poseur. It’s got that special Italian name but it has an everyday K-Car look about it. Whatever the case, we’ll figure it out as best we… more»
EcoTec Swap: 1976 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega
Be objective! An important rule in journalism, or so I’m told. And that sense of fairness should be extended to every vehicle post found here. I do find myself challenged with that admonition, especially in the case of a… more»
Big Block 4-Speed! 1966 Dodge Coronet Convertible
Update 9/25/20 – After getting bid up to $15k the last time around, this big block convertible has been relisted here on eBay. From 7/15/20 – I gravitate towards convertibles. I have owned several, and older ones, like this… more»
Sitting Since ’63: 1950 Chevrolet DeLuxe Hardtop
This Chevrolet is quite a find, and for a couple of reasons. It is listed as a DeLuxe model and the fender badge claims it as so, but the roofline and backlight are Bel Air all the way. And… more»
