V8 Powered! 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

I recently reviewed a vehicle where the seller stated, “All the heavy lifting has been done”. I thought that seemed debatable in that case but I wouldn’t argue the claim in this instance. This 1953 Chevrolet pickup has had… more»

Steers And Rolls: 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville

Here’s another in the “Are you serious?” category. It’s everyone’s favorite example of domestic excess, a 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville but this is no Marilyn Monroe mobile; it’s, well, you’ll see. Located in Cullman, Alabama, is this wretched… more»

No Reserve Original: 1938 Ford Standard Tudor

This is a very nice find! It is a 1938 Ford Tudor and, I believe, a Standard Tudor as opposed to a Deluxe model. The seller doesn’t state specifically but the hood vents are indicative of those used on… more»

Rare Ragtop! 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 4-Speed

Beep Beep with the top down! Finding a ’70 Plymouth Road Runner to review is no big deal, there were about 43K produced, but finding a convertible version? How about a little over 800? I can’t remember the last… more»

Vintage Wrecker! 1936 Ford Tow Truck

So the question is, have we found a wrecker or a wreckee in the form of this 1936 Ford tow truck? There is no included information regarding the model, chassis, capacity, etc. as it pertains to this tow truck,… more»

Parked For 25 Years: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

How unusual, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air that hasn’t been hot-rodded, resto-moded, customized, restored or otherwise molested. It initially caught my attention because of the way it is parked. I used to live in a very urbanized area and… more»

Crate Find! Original 370 HP Chevrolet LT-1 Engine

Now, this is a find! It is an originally crated, 1970 vintage, Chevrolet LT-1 engine. Of the original small-block V8 series engines, (1955-1991) many say this was Chevrolet’s finest hour. It’s a subjective position but 370 gross HP from… more»

Parked In ’77: 1959 Chrysler New Yorker Wagon

Nothing screams the ’50s like a two-tone, seafoam green and white station wagon. Throw in some vestiges of Exner styling and you are seriously good to go. We do cover a lot of station wagons on Barn Finds but… more»

Police Wagon! 1978 Dodge Monaco Squad Car

Police cars are generally four-door sedans equipped with, as Elwood Blues explained,  “It’s got a cop motor,  it’s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks…” though any more, SUVs have wormed their way into police fleets pretty much everywhere…. more»

Grand Performance: 1965 Buick Wildcat 425

Update 9/17/2020 – Error, this Buick Wildcat is not a GS. How cool is “Wildcat” as a name for a car? In a day when cars are named “Telluride” or “Palisade” or an automobile company is called “Sellantis”, which… more»

1962 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE With Two Parts Cars!

There has been a movement for some time that involves photographers taking pictures of completely dilapidated industrial buildings and putting them up for viewership on their own websites or perhaps on an image sharing web app. Some photographers will… more»

4-Speed Equipped! 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix Convertible

Sometimes you end up with a car that you mostly like but you keep thinking, “What if it had just that one additional item that it doesn’t, then it would be perfect!” Most people suck it up and move… more»

Advance Design: 1947 GMC Farm Truck

This subject is tough to identify. The seller lists it as a ’47 GMC “Farm Truck” but there is no further descriptor or VIN provided and it would seem a challenge to do any real farming with just a… more»

Calling All Cars: 1963 Plymouth Belvedere Cop Car

Did you ever want to head out on the highway, lights and sirens blaring, and pull over the bad guys but you didn’t want to have to do the whole police academy thing? Well here’s your chance, you can… more»

Pristine Condition: 1971 Datsun 521 Pickup

Former U.S. Vice-President Thomas Riley Marshall (1913-1921) is credited with saying, “What This Country Needs Is a Really Good Five-Cent Cigar.” There are some counter claims that he just picked up the comment from someone else, but it doesn’t… more»

California Black Plate: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

What we have here for review is the ever-popular 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle but it is not the uber-popular SS396 version. And that’s good as the non-performance versions are worthy cars in their own right. And, as the saying goes,… more»
