Display Or Ride? 1970 Honda CT70 K0
With the incredible popularity of the Honda CT70 over the last few years, and nicely restored examples selling for thousands of dollars, I always wonder if they’ll ever get used or if they’ll be man cave/she shed trophies. The… more»
Owned Three Decades: 1966 Buick Riviera
If Sean Connery was an American car, I can’t think of a better one than a 1966 Buick Riviera. This car is from his early “Bond, James Bond” days, and like him, it’s cool, it’s tough, it’s suave, it’s… more»
Exciting Small Car? 1967 King Midget Model III
The seller refers to this 1967 King Midget Model III as the “World’s Most Exciting Small Car”, and while I’m not sure whether that’s a historic King Midget advertising line or their personal belief, I’ve always wanted one. They’re… more»
23K-Mile One Family 1977 Plymouth Volare Wagon
If you’re of a certain age, you can’t help but have the “Volare” song in your head every time we see a Plymouth Volare here on Barn Finds. “Volare, oh oh – Cantare, oh oh oh oh…” This time… more»
Last Year: 1975 International Travelette 200
It’s always a gamble to list anything as the first, biggest, smallest, oldest, etc. That being said, many sources list the International Travelette as the first factory crew cab pickup. Can you think of an earlier example than the… more»
California Wagon: 1978 Mercury Marquis 400 V8
“Woodgrain, or not woodgrain, that is the question”, to paraphrase Bill Shakespeare, who I’m just assuming would have been a big fan of full-sized Mercury station wagons. The seller has beautifully presented this 1978 Mercury Marquis Wagon here on… more»
1960s Simplex Challenger Mark IV Dual-Engine
The 1960s and 70s had to have been the golden era for motorsports, at least simple ones like early snowmobiles, minibikes, and a kid’s dream ride like this 1960s Simplex Challenger Mark IV 580 dual-engine go-kart. This twin-engine project… more»
Project Car: 1976 Chrysler Newport Two-Door
“1976 Newport. It’s an impressive car that lives up to your idea of a Chrysler. Only its price range may surprise you.” So says a Chrysler brochure showing the big and heavy C-body Chryslers in the Bicentennial year. The… more»
Dump Bed Dentside: 1977 Ford F-150 SuperCab
Since 1977, Ford’s F-150 has been the best-selling pickup in the U.S., a pretty impressive record given that the F-150 didn’t even appear until the 1975 model year. This 1977 Ford F-150 Custom SuperCab is even more impressive in… more»
Parked For Years: 1971 Jeepster Commando V6
52 years is a long time for any of us no matter our age. Some of us (not me) weren’t even born yet when this 1971 Jeepster Commando was made. They’re really interesting vehicles and this one looks great… more»
1990 Mercury Grand Marquis GS Colony Park
In 1957, when gas was $0.28 a gallon, and until it was $1.14 a gallon in 1991, Ford’s upscale Mercury division offered its customers a very nice, often simulated woodgrain-sided, station wagon called the Colony Park. This eight-seat 1990… more»
How Much Would You Pay? 1956 Imperial
In 1955, Chrysler spun off its Imperial division as a separate make and they were on their own, at least in name, until 1975. The Imperial came back again on the J-platform (think, Cordoba and Mirada) from 1981 to… more»
Bought New For Mom: 1970 Ariens Arrow 400L
Even though there’s no snow on the ground where I am now – at least at the moment – having grown up in the upper Midwest in the 1960s and 70s, snowmobiles were something most people either had or… more»
