“The vehicle needs work and is not regularly driven” opines the seller. Really? Glad we got that out of the way. Had I not read the listing’s identification of this car, I wouldn’t have known that it is a… more»

The Big Apple? 1947 Frazer Manhattan
As shortlived as Kaiser-Frazer (’47-’55) was, they produced some memorable cars and still manage to get quite a bit of coverage here on Barn Finds. Last month this 1947 Frazer Manhattan surfaced and today, we have another example, same… more»

4-Speeds/4 Doors! 1973 Pontiac Grand Am
Wow, here’s an unusual one for review, a first year, 1973 Pontiac Grand Am with four doors and a four-speed manual transmission – hardly a regular find on anything produced by what was then the BIG Three and a… more»

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»

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»

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»
