440/4-Speed: 1972 Plymouth Road Runner Project

Beep Beep! The Plymouth performance beat was till going on in 1972 but it was, just like with other manufacturers, winding down. The Road Runner was entering its second year in fuselage duds, the Hemi was history, someone snagged… more»

Barn Find Project: 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Ready, steady go & probably gone in this case. It’s a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette roadster and it will probably serve as my “challenge of the month” project. It appears to have been a nicely equipped car, originally, but now… more»

S Code Fastback: 1968 Ford 4-Speed Mustang

Here’s an interesting find, it’s a 1968 Ford Mustang fastback “S” code. You know, the fundamental for a Bullitt Mustang. It has a Marti report which backs up the claim and it appears to have all of the components,… more»

10K Mile Signature Series: 1997 Lincoln Town Car

We are stylin’ now! It’s one thing to have a Lincoln Town Car and another to go full-tilt with a “Signature Series” model Town Car. As the 1997 Lincoln’s sales brochure states, “I think someone who is successful is… more»

Colonnade Coupe With 24K Miles: 1973 Buick Regal

The first time I spotted a ’73 Buick Regal I was shocked at how much its appearance had changed from its 1972 Skylark predecessor, a design that seemed to be universally praised along with its Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile… more»

Only 31K Miles! 1966 Chevrolet Caprice Coupe

Chevrolet Impalas turn up more often than Caprices but that’s just the result of sheer volume production. And many of the Impalas that I know I have covered here on Barn Finds as of late are, how would you… more»

Priced Right? 1962 Studebaker 4 Speed GT Hawk

This is hardly the first Studebaker to be covered here on Barn Finds and I’m certain that it won’t be the last. Studebaker was a bit of a “go your own way” auto manufacturer and their products were varied… more»

Early Wire Wheel Car: 1956 MGA Roadster

I have been drawn to MGAs since I first received a white MGA matchbox car as a gift many years ago. To me, it has always been the definitive British sports car. I have covered an MGB and an… more»

1988 Yugo GV Barn Find!

It’s not a stretch to imagine a dictionary with a definition that states: Object of Scorn \abjeft\ev\skorn expression 1: Yugo. Perhaps not that deleterious a description but probably not far from it. Is it truly deserved? I don’t know… more»

Four Speed Fun! 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS

Continuing on my Impala theme, here’s another to review. So far, a ’59, ’61, ’66, ’67, and ’68 have been featured so let’s add a ’62 to the line-up. And this one is a bit special as it is… more»

Stretched To The Max: 1980 Pontiac Trans Am Limousine

Diamond In The Rough? 1970 Dodge Super Bee

The second that I spied this Dodge Super Bee, I said to myself, I bet that’s a Florida car. The exterior Live Oak mung and pine needles are a dead giveaway. And I’m no stranger to parking a car… more»

Mopar Survivor: 1963 Dodge Polara

Fords and Chevrolets from 1963 get a lot of coverage and examples turn up all the time for sale via the various old car mediums. Mopar examples from that era? Not so much so. And for that reason, among… more»

Parked For 35 Years: 1967 Alfa Romeo Spider

So here’s to you Mrs. Robinson…yeah, yeah, I know, the Alfa Romeo used in the 1967 film, “The Graduate” was actually a ’66 model and not a ’67 but every time I spy an Alfa of this era, that’s… more»

Build It Your Way: 1974 Plymouth Barracuda

On the surface, it doesn’t look like much. It’s a roller and it’s a bit rough but it is intact. And since it’s partially dissembled, there’s one task the new owner won’t have to undertake. And being a 1974… more»

Parts Car Included! 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS 396

I’m a glutton for punishment. I like these old ’60s vintage Chevrolet Impalas but this is the second one that I have encountered in as many months and it’s a bit less than ideal. It has some nice options… more»
