Ongoing Beep-Beep: 1973 Plymouth Road Runner
OK, strictly a subjective statement but I have always thought the ’73 Plymouth Road Runner, such as this Spring Valley, Wisconsin example, got the styling right, in the way that the ’71 and ’72 got it wrong. Beyond that,… more»

454 Patina Palooza! 1979 Chevrolet C10
At some point, an honest conversation about “patina” has to be had. As with many Barn Finds commenters’ positions, I’m not a fan – especially of “made to order” or faux patina. Sure, it’s one thing to find an… more»

Droptop Dakota? 1990 Dodge SE Pickup
Who knew? A Dodge Dakota convertible? Really? Well, I guess I should have known but I didn’t and I was completely surprised by this 1990 SE pickup – I actually thought, at first, that it was a backyard Sawzall… more»

Only 18K Miles? 1947 Crosley CC
Cute as a bug would be one way to describe this 1947 Crosley CC sedan. It looks like a lot of things actually, a bumper car, a kiddie pedal car, or just an oversized Matchbox toy. One interesting facet… more»

Project In Process: 1954 Jaguar XK120

A REAL Barn Find: 1946 Ford DeLuxe
You know how specific names sometimes become a generic term, like, say Xerox? It’s a brand name but it’s often meant to convey any machine that has photocopying capability. Another is Frigidaire, which was a refrigerator in the immediate… more»

No Reserve: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396
Always a favorite is Chevrolet’s 1969 Chevells SS396 such as this Daytona Yellow example. Popular in ’69? You bet, 86K saw the light of day. Popular today? You bet again, just cruise the current asking prices on any old… more»

Last Year! 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible
This is the end! No, nothing quite that dramatic, but this 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale convertible is the last of the full-size Oldsmobile convertibles. It became such a disregarded model, that Oldsmobile devoted about an eighteenth of a… more»

Franco-Italian Connection: 1974 Citroen SM
Swoopy! That’s one way to describe this 1974 Citroen SM – the profile reminds me of a backward dust buster. It possesses an unforgettable look and is instantly recalled in the event one hasn’t been spotted in a while…. more»

Dealership Survivor: 1968 Dodge Dart GT
I’ll admit it, I have a “thing” for fourth-generation Dodge Darts, but not all of them, just the ones produced in the first three years (’67-’69). A convertible body style? So much better! Today’s example, is just such a… more»

32K Miles! 1972 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible
One of the central themes that get bandied about, here on BF, has been the steeply ascendent pricing of the usual collectible (and some non-collectible!) suspects, you know, first-gen (’67-’69) Camaros, ’68-’72 GM A-bodies, Shelby Mustangs, anything from Mopar,… more»

No Reserve Hot Rod! 1993 GMC Typhoon
It coulda been a contenda! And this 1993 GMC Typhoon would have been had the General produced more than just 4,600 over a span of just two years (’92 and ’93). But as specialty vehicles go, they’re often short-lived… more»

Dual Quad 409! 1963 Chevrolet Impala
Giddy-Up, Giddy-Up…naw, that’s way too overused a reference for a 409 CI engine-equipped Impala so I’ll dispense with the Beach Boys imagery and just stick to the subject which is a 1963 (yeah, I know, they were singing about… more»
