Rare 1987 Shelby Lancer Turbo Project

I’ll spare you the suspense: yes, this car is 1 of the 400 made with a five-speed manual transmission! The other 400 out of 800 total Shelby Lancers in 1987 received a three-speed automatic transmission. This is a rare… more»

50 Years In A Barn! 1940 Ford Standard Tudor

A Ford two-door “Tudor” (is that redundant?) with a flathead V8? Yes, please. Ford offered a “De Luxe” and Standard model in 1940 and the partially-painted grille identifies this 1940 Ford Standard Tudor Sedan as a Standard. The De… more»

Barn Find: 1946 Taylorcraft BC-12D

Aside from being good band names, “Taildragger” and “High-Wing Monoplane” are two ways to describe this 1946 Taylorcraft BC12-D. Taylorcraft Aviation Corporation made some nice planes that were less expensive than the usual suspects: i.e., Piper, Cessna, etc. The… more»

Former Sheriff’s Truck? 1966 Dodge D200 Utiline

Dodge’s “Sweptline era” (model years 1961 through 1971) was known for having beautifully designed beds, but some of us prefer stepside beds, known as Utiline in this era of Dodge pickup. This 1966 Dodge D200 Utiline is said to… more»

40K Miles: 1974 AMC Matador Coupe

With a love-it-or-hate-it style, the Matador Coupe was like nothing else before or since. Meant to take on such worthy competitors as the Chevy Monte Carlo and Pontiac Grand Prix in the personal luxury coupe era, they never caught… more»

Estate Sale Find: 1978 Plymouth Volaré

Rust-Free 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria

Sometimes, good enough is more than a person needs. Why bother moving up to a Mercury or Lincoln if all you need is the nicest car offered by Ford? This 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria can be found posted… more»

Engine Upgrade: 1963 Ford Falcon Futura

I don’t think of a Ford Falcon as a compact car, but that’s what Ford marketed them as. They weren’t the first for an American car maker, as the Rambler American was first, but for the big three, the… more»

As the top model for Buick’s full-sized C-body, the Limited was a stylish luxury car available in a four-door hardtop, two-door hardtop, and two-door Landau model. By 1973, the car had federally mandated 5mph front bumpers. This 1974 Buick… more»

Parked 10 Years: 1974 AMC Hornet Hatchback

I normally pass up tips that have vertical photos (sigh) and no engine photos, but an AMC Hornet with two doors and a floor-shifted manual transmission sort of makes up for those two cardinal sins. This 1974 AMC Hornet… more»

Good Buy Or Goodbye? 1975 International Scout II

International Harvester offered some interesting trucks in the 1970s, not the least of those was the Scout II. We’ve seen many Scouts here on Barn Finds over the years, but not as many I-H pickups, Travelalls, or Travelettes. This… more»

38K Miles? 1952 Willys Aero Ace 2-Door Sedan

The Willys (pronounced Willis) Aero, sometimes seen as Aero Willys, should be more popular than it is. It personifies post-WWII design and naming conventions in America, and they’re just plain cool. This 1952 Willys Aero Ace is posted here… more»
