Styling Stunner? 1975 Lotus Elite
Lotus likes model names that start with the letter “E”. There’s the Elan, Europa, Esprit and now, the Elite. I say now because I haven’t encountered one before but they’ve been around for a good number of years. This… more»

One Of 359! 1952 Buick Roadmaster Estate
I still find wood-trimmed station wagons, produced as late as the early ’50s, to be a phenomenon. In earlier decades it made sense, but by 1952 and “modern” automobile construction techniques in place, it’s hard to imagine that the… more»

Buick V8 Power! 1975 Pontiac Ventura
What’s in a name, I have asked before. Car companies frequently recycle model names and the recycled version is often far removed from the original. Pontiac comes to mind on that front with both LeMans and Ventura. Today, it’s… more»

Replacement Body: 1955 Chevrolet Corvette Project
In the pantheon of all-time collectible cars, I have to admit that Corvettes don’t garner my attention much anymore. There are just so many of them and they get lost in a sea of similarities. That’s not to take… more»

Two Engines Included! 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7
Recalling back when the 1967 Mercury Cougar was introduced, it immediately caught my attention. A neighbor had just purchased a new ’67 Mustang and I wasn’t wild about its minor restyling from its ’66 predecessor. I knew the Cougar… more»

Rare Turbo-Diesel: 1980 International Scout II
This 1980 International Scout II was the end of the line for International Harvester’s notable SUV. While all the rage today, International, along with Ford and its Bronco, were ahead of the curve with their rugged, go-anywhere vehicles. This… more»

That Thing Got A Hemi? 1967 Dodge Monaco
We find lots of mid to late ’60s full-size Detroit iron all of the time, Fords and Chevrolets in particular. Plymouths? Not too often. How about Dodges? Nope, hardly ever. Well, it’s about time and here we go with… more»

Fuel Injected 455? 1970 Buick Riviera
Buick’s fabulous Riviera gets its fair share of coverage on Barn Finds – certainly the early second-gen (’66-’70) and the spectacularly styled third-gen (’71-’73) with its most distinctive boattail rear end. One model year that is often overlooked, however,… more»
