302 V8 Survivor: 1971 Ford Torino
The Torino was Ford’s mid-size entry from 1968-76. It began as the top trim level on the Fairlane and later carried the torch for the whole intermediate line-up. Restyled for 1970-71, they carried fuselage styling inspired by supersonic aircraft… more»
No Reserve Donation: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette 454
The world of car donations is one that continues to leave me somewhat confused. I understand donating some random old grandma-mobile that may be pristine but has little value outside of a 1980s GM collector, but a muscle car… more»
Tidy Off-Roader: 1965 Ford F-100 4×4
Finding a classic pickup that is in good condition, would happily cruise on the open road, but can plunge its occupant deep into the wilderness, can be a battle. That is what appears to be on offer with this… more»
Mike Tyson’s Car! 1990 Mercedes-Benz 500SL

Never This Nice: 1984 Ford Bronco ll
The Ford Bronco II is part of that appealing class of light-duty SUVs that burst onto the market in the 1980s before the clowns at Consumer Reports started sticking their noses in things like extreme-handling-rollover-attempts and oh-gee-how-did-the-floormat-get-wedged-under-the-accelerator testing.

Ford Tech Owned: 1989 Ford Bronco XLT
Don’t worry: this handsome 1989 Ford Bronco XLT is already on its way out of hiding, despite looking like it was destined to spend the next several years locked away in storage. The 1980s Ford Bronco is coming into… more»
Sweet Survivor! 1963 GMC K1000 4×4
A little rough and completely ready, this 1963 GMC K1000 4×4 in Neillsville, Wisconsin runs well, featuring a host of mostly-stock replacement parts and some upgrades. Prior to a year of weekend drives by the seller, the GMC enjoyed… 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»
44k Original Miles: 1964 Chevrolet C20 Pickup
While it is by no means a hard and fast rule, older pickups tend to fall into two broad categories. You will find genuine cream puffs that have never worked a day in their life. Others will look pretty… more»
Ford-Powered Rarity: 1971 Intermeccanica Italia
The Intermeccanica Italia is a rarely-seen V8-powered sports car that was built in extremely limited quantities. Today, we do see the topless version of the Italia appear for sale, but the fixed-roof coupe is very hard to come by…. more»
Ultimate Off-Roader? 1974 Jeep CJ-5 6×6
In the automotive engineering world, there’s a fundamental technical term called “roughly about right.” It is generally used to describe how many engines a vehicle will have or how many road wheels. However, it appears that the owner of… more»
Formal Roof: 1968 Chevrolet Impala Custom
Chevy expanded the Impala lineup in 1968 with the Custom, which used the Caprice’s formal rooftop instead of fastback styling. It was available through the 1976 model year, after which the full-size Chevrolets were all downsized in the name… more»
Original Survivor: 1969 Jaguar E-Type 2+2
Tastes and opinions change, and I am not immune from this. While I had always admired the stunning good looks of Jaguar’s E-Type, my classic car focus was mainly on American vehicles. That changed many decades ago when I… more»
