Rat-Rod Potential? 1971 Chevrolet C-10
I like to keep an eye on pickup truck prices as I’m still amazed at the popularity that they have amassed over the last ten years or so. Early ’50s Fords, as well as those made in the late… more»

Ragless Ragtop: 1948 Mercury Eight
Sitting forlornly as it’s posed, this 1948 Mercury Club Convertible still makes a statement. This example is notable as it is a convertible, and it’s also the last of the left-over pre-war designs – 1949 would bring an entirely… more»

A Survivor? 1967 Plymouth Belvedere II
It’s always nice to find a ’60’s vintage Mopar product, such as this 1967 Plymouth Belvedere, that’s not a muscle car version or one that has been hacked into a wanna-be muscle car mash-up. The seller considers this Melbourne,… more»

A Humble Start: 1962 Oldsmobile F85
Oldsmobile hit homerun after homerun with their F85/Cutlass series, even earning top sales honors in 1977. But I have to tell you that if I cover another ’70-’72 Cutlass I might have to strangle myself. Always popular no doubt,… more»

Motorcycle Powered: 1960 Berkley B95
This isn’t the first Berkeley that we have covered but they’re a rare breed and don’t surface often. Besides their rarity, I chose this 1960 B95 subject because I liked the way it looked and thought you would find… more»

Same Owner Since ’84: 1963 Lincoln Continental
Elwood Engel’s fantastic Lincoln Continental (’61-’69) makes a regular appearance here on Barn Finds but many that I have reviewed aren’t in the best of condition. And that’s unfortunate as this version of the Continental is about as iconic… more»

Bald Benz: 1960 Mercedes 190 SL
Without knowing for certain, I imagine that we are looking at a 1960 Mercedes 190 SL that started down a restoration path years ago and then came to an abrupt stop. Lack of time, money, interest, space, or worse,… more»

Cheap Full Sizer? 1969 Plymouth Fury III
There’s no doubt about it, I like old full-size American sedans, hardtops, convertibles, etc. I think the reason is that there were so many, absolutely everywhere, at one time and now they’ve become the seldom seen. It’s a style,… more»

Right Hand Drive? 1934 Ford Victoria
This 1934 Ford Victoria may be more notable for its configuration than for any other aspect as its condition is, to put it politely, challenged. The seller advises that “it needs work“, there’s a simple honest statement. The details… more»
