Half Century Barn Bound: 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline

This 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline may be going for a barn-snooze record as the seller claims this one was doin’ that Rip Van Winkle thing for 50 years – a half-century of non-running! Said to have originally been finished in… more»

A VW At Heart: 1958 Rometsch Lawrence

A show of hands, please, if you’ve ever heard of a Rometsch Lawrence. We have covered one before, a 1958 example like today’s subject car, but it was back in 2011. It’s a new one for me but the… more»

Stump Puller: 1979 Chevrolet 454 C-10

Last week we reviewed this rather roachy looking ’71 Chevrolet C-10, a member of Chevy’s “Action Line” (’67-’72) of trucks. Today, we’re going to move a generation forward to the “Rounded Generation” (’73-’87) or what many refer to as… more»

Reincarnation Time: 1954 Pontiac Hearse

Call me superstitious but I usually eschew covering a hearse – bad mojo in my book. I made an exception in the case of this 1954 Pontiac as I’m thinking to the future and what this vehicle can be,… more»

The Big Banana! Wide Body Chevrolet Corvette

The ’70s! That about sums up the visuals on this custom, wide-body Corvette convertible. It’s said to be a 1968 model, but if that’s the case, it has been altered to not only resemble a mid-’70s version, but it… more»

1960 Austin-Healey 3000 Project

This is supposedly an Austin Healey 3000, Mark I, supposedly. At this point, it probably doesn’t matter. The actual year isn’t known either though it’s likely a 1960 model. The seller tells us, “This car is in very bad… more»

Driver Quality: 1961 Chevrolet Corvette

It’s refreshing to find an old, collectible car that’s not a 100-point, concurs restoration, or a mismatched collection of rusting parts that parades around as an intact classic. Take this 1961 Chevrolet Corvette for example. Owned by the same… more»

Superb 2+2! 1965 Pontiac 421/4-Speed

Hubba-Hubba was my first response upon spying this spectacular 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2! Think about it for a minute, it’s got a big V8 engine, a shift-it-yourself gearbox, a million-dollar smile courtesy of its deep, flaming red paint job,… more»

Needs Nothing! 1979 Volvo 244 DL

And now for something that is positively “unbarn findy”, a 1979 Volvo 244 DL. Yes, it may seem out of place to feature such a model on Barn Finds but we cover a bit of everything here and this… more»

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»

Second Time Around: 1971 Ford Pinto

Do you often wonder what happens to the cars that we feature here? I have occasionally received notice from some readers that they actually acquire whatever we have just reviewed, but often they go off into the great unknown…. 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»

Welding Skills Needed: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS

And now for another installment of “What in the Sam Hill happened?” this time to a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro convertible. Said to be a true Rally Sport model, the seller suggests, “The car is a pretty big project, needing… 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»
