2002 Ford Thunderbird With Only 29K Miles
While Ford’s Thunderbird, notably the Baby Bird (’55-’57) and those from the mid-sixties, grace Barn Finds web pages with regularity, the the eleventh generation (’02-’05) is seldom seen. As a matter of fact, I could only find one example… more»

Put An LS In It? 1969 Buick Gran Sport

1973 Cadillac Brougham With Only 18K Miles
So, this 1973 Cadillac is a Brougham edition which is pronounced something like “brome” and not “bro-gun” or “bro-ham”. Regardless, it’s a biggie and qualifies for the “Whammer-jammer” designation – more on that to follow. The seller claims only… more»

Out Of The Barn! 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454
I think it’s a toss-up as to what gets more coverage here, first-gen Mustangs or 1970 Chevrolet Chevelles. Regardless of coverage, when one builds a better mousetrap, one usually wants to promote it by all available means. However, that… more»
