Nice Driver: 1951 Crosley Super Sports

Runs And Drives: 1972 Honda Z600

Finding a 1972 Honda Z600 today is a pretty rare occurrence. But what if you ran across two of them in the same week painted in the same color? That’s the case here when two of our readers turned… more»

1 of 30 Made? 1970 Subaru 360 Yacht

When I think of muscle cars, my mind automatically goes to the Hemi Cuda. Maybe because my best friend in school had a ’73 Barracuda and the Hemi Cuda was always a car we wanted to own. Exotics? The… more»

94K Miles? 1959 King Midget Model 3

I’m a huge fan of these small cars in the first place, but the thought of someone driving a King Midget for 90,000+ miles was pretty shocking. The seller says that this one has 94,000 miles, but I believe… more»

Bubble Car Survivor: 1957 BMW Isetta 300

Like Triumph’s Amphicar and Fiat’s Jolly, the BMW Isetta has a “coin of the realm” quality when it shows up at auctions. Once parked on the lawn at Bonham’s or Gooding, these cars are almost guaranteed to bring three… more»

Rare Beach Runabout: 1968 Fiat 500 Jolly

The Fiat 500 was one of the Italian manufacturer’s most successful products in the decades following World War II. Various incarnations were built and perhaps the most interesting was the Jolly. It was a low-production runabout with no doors… more»

Mid-Engine Gullwing: 1993 Autozam AZ-1

No matter the size of the vehicle, the horsepower, or the value, there aren’t many features that will gather a crowd like having a set of gullwing doors open while you’re getting gas or at a car show. This… more»

Rare Micro Car: 1952 Mochet CM 125 Grand Luxe

When I hear “grand luxe”, I translate it roughly as “large, luxury, top shelf”. But Frenchman Georges Mochet – who inherited his father Charles’ cyclecar business – thought differently about these things. He had evolved the business away from… more»

Go-Kart Fun: 1958 Berkeley SE328

I could recount the entire history of the Berkeley Coachworks Company (headquarters: Biggleswade, England) – first using its expertise molding caravans from what we now call fiberglass, to making tiny sports cars that a few crazy people tried to… more»

English-Built Barn Find! 1959 Nash Metropolitan

The Metropolitan was designed in the U.S. but built in England for U.S. buyers. That was the first time that happened with a car sold on these shores. Sold between 1953 and 1961, they could be found at Nash… more»

Update: 1958 Goggomobil TS400 Race Car

UPDATE – This somewhat historic 1958 Goggomobil TS400 is for sale again, this time with an asking price of less than half of what it was back in May of 2016 when we saw it here on Barn Finds…. more»

Small Project: 1950s King Midget Model III

The seller isn’t sure what year this King Midget is and they don’t show any tags or numbers, but it’s a Model III so it was made sometime between 1957 and 1969. They have this late-1950s to late-60s King… more»

Micro Magic: Rare 1952 Crosley Scorpion

Here’s a mind twister: Crosley, the niche micro-car maker, was the donor platform for a kit car known as the Scorpion (aka Skorpion). While thousands of Fieros, VWs, Model As and Ts, and various British cars have given their… more»

Pocket Rocket: 1991 Daihatsu Mira J Turbo

Well here’s something you don’t see every day in the U.S., or ever. Most of us know the name Daihatsu for its trucks or possibly for the short-lived (in the U.S.) Charade or 4×4 Rocky. The company makes fantastic… more»

Spotless Classic: 1972 Honda Z600 with 1,000 Original Miles

Classic cars with owners making extraordinary mileage claims are nothing new, and some bear better scrutiny than others. That brings us to this 1972 Honda Z600. It undeniably presents exceptionally well, and if the seller’s assertion that it has… 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»
