Decent Project? 1948 Packard Eight

The seller of this 1948 Packard Eight Club Sedan doesn’t have a lot to say about it but barn finder Brian C. suggests that it may be a “decent project car”, so let’s dive in and see if that’s… more»

Thunderbird 352 Super V8: 1960 Ford Starliner

Some will say that the muscle car generation started with the 1964 Pontiac GTO. Others will say that it was way before that, dating back to the 1949 Oldsmobile OHV V8. And still, others will select other marques, so… more»

Pedals Not Needed: 1955 Eshelman Child Sports Car

At first blush, my thought was that the Eshelman mini-car was a child’s pedal car, but that’s not the case, it’s actually powered. And while this child sports car (CSC) is truly toy-like, the Cheston L. Eshelman Company produced… more»

A Notable Nash: 1949 Super 600

It looks almost like a cross between a rolling sarcophagus and a bathtub with a little bit of Dick Tracy thrown in – you know a Nash Super 600, like this 1949 example, when you see one. Considered a… more»

Carpool Cool! 1959 Pontiac Safari Wagon

Old station wagons continue to grace the webpages of Barn Finds but today’s discovery of a 1959 Pontiac Safari is the first that I have encountered that isn’t a two-door Nomadesque version. It’s pretty outstanding if for no other… more»

Nice No Reserve Driver: 1972 Pontiac Firebird

The non-muscle car hits just keep coming! I must admit that I was smitten by this 1972 Pontiac Firebird at first sight. Why? because it is so clean and uncluttered – it’s a great-looking car and worthy of exploration…. more»

Restored Garage Find: 1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible

A GTO with a four-speed manual transmission, a top that goes down, and is green! What more do you need (well, maybe another color if you’re unlike me and don’t like green)? Claimed as the result of a full… more»

No Reserve Donation: 1971 Chevrolet Camaro

OK, right off I know the listing claims this Camaro to be a ’72 model but it’s not, the grille, and more importantly, the VIN, tell us that it’s a ’71. The other point of interest is the fact… more»

Triple Carburetor 348? 1959 Chevrolet Impala

I went looking for Barn Finds coverage of four-door ’59 Impalas and found only one and that was back in 2014 – and that car was submerged in a pond. The two-door hardtops are all over the place and… more»

The Forgotten Sports Car: 1935 Aero Minx

I guess for something to be forgotten, it has to be known about in the first place. I know what a Hillman Minx is, courtesy of a Lesney Matchbox car, but an Aero Minx was a new one for… more»

Return To Nature: 1958 Austin-Healey 100-6

And now for something in the “From whence it came, it shall return” department courtesy of a 1958 Austin-Healey 100-6. Found in the woods of Mena, Arkansas, where it has been decaying for probably some number of years, it’s… more»

Great Shape! 1969 Buick GS350

The ’70-’72 GS always seem to steal all of the Buick intermediate thunder; the ’68-’69 versions? Not so much. Under the skin, they’re basically the same car but it’s that skin – lots of differences going on there. I’ll… more»

Rare GT Package! 1968 Ford 390 XL

Full-size fun is how I’d describe this 1968 Ford XL – and it’s made that much more so by the addition of the rare GT package. And, as for condition, this one is hard to deny – other than… more»

Still Does A Burnout: 1976 Chevrolet Nova SS

I found this 1976 Chevrolet Nova SS to be of interest because I didn’t know a Nova SS was still being made in 1976. The Nova SS, and pretty much anything pretending to be a performance car, was mostly… more»

‘Vette Power! 1942 Packard One-Eighty

At first glance, one would think they are reviewing a fine 1942 Packard One-Eighty sedan at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance – this car shows that well! Original, however, it is not as it harbors something a bit removed… more»

One Off Convertible: 1971 Subaru 360

When I first spotted this 1971 Subaru 360, I honestly thought it was a golf cart. There are plenty of carts on the roads near where I live – they’re supposed to be licensed but frequently aren’t and that… more»
