Funny Car Build? 1984 VW Scirocco

With the fall approaching, there are a few months left in the snowbelt states where you can still drive your classic car in fair weather. Then, winter hits and its time to move those projects inside, or buy something… more»

Sharknose: 1938 Graham Project

Said to have been sitting for 70 years, this 1938 Graham here on eBay is a tough car to put a price on. The seller makes a valiant effort to tie his car’s value to other examples that have sold, but… more»

Dual Superchargers: 1968 Dodge D200

Barn Finds reader Brian V. spotted a Dodge D200 with perhaps one of the more colorful histories I’ve ever seen for such a vehicle. A top fuel team used the rig here on craigslist as their tow/support vehicle in the… more»

Body Shop Find: 1968 Camaro Z/28

We’ve heard plenty of stories about projects being abandoned or forgotten at body shops. It’s really not a surprise when you consider what body and paint work costs. This Z/28 project has been parked at the body shop for… more»

Loud And Long: 1969 Chevrolet C10

I know long bed trucks aren’t as desirable as short beds, but this C10 looks like it could be a good project to learn on. Most of us aren’t professionals when it comes to restoration work, but that doesn’t… more»

Backyardigan! 1968 Corvette Stored Since 1989

Presumably, this is what this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette convertible looked like when the seller came upon it. Can you imagine just leaving a cool convertible like this to sit in your back yard for so long? Apparently it was… more»

Clean Bird: 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible

Get this 1969 Firebird just in time for some fall top down weather. Very clean throughout, this Pontiac has some minor rust that wouldn’t stop you from enjoying this beautiful convertible. Currently packing a crate engine, this Firebird has… more»

Fall Harvest: 1934-36 International Harvester

Wearing a few decades worth of rust and plant life, this 1934-36 International hasn’t seen street duty in many years. Appearing fairly complete, and not in the worst of conditions, this International is interesting. Thanks to reader Dave W… more»

Cheap GT: 1969 MGC GT Automatic

The MGC 2.9 liter 145 horsepower engine is 200 pounds heaver than the 4 banger it replaced and 240 pounds heavier than the 137 horsepower V8 that followed. This gives the C a reputation for poor handling but better tires and tweaking the… more»

“Dear Li’l Sis’s First Car”: 1968 Pontiac Catalina Convertible

If you don’t click through to this auction listing, you are really missing out! The seller tells a great story about this car, which apparently was his sister’s first car and was purchased when it was ten years old–and… more»

Rusty Old Goat: 1968 Pontiac GTO

It pains me to see this GTO in such terrible shape. At one time, this was a mean asphalt burning machine, but today it’s a rusty wreck. Amazingly though, the original engine is in the car and runs! Looking at,… more»

5 Years In The Barn: 1960 Austin Healey Sprite

This cute little Bugeye (or Frogeye for our British readers) Sprite was parked five years ago in a barn after the owner discovered a rod knocking. Now they are selling it due to health reasons here on eBay, with… more»

40 Year Sleep: Chevy Bel Air and Delray Combo

Lately, I’ve begun to realize just how possible it is to have a car languish despite your best intentions of restoring it. I recently sold one project car to purchase two others, and I have to say, it’s hard… more»

Brush Find: 1980 Chevy Custom Pickup

While we have seen more than a few barn finds on this site, I can’t recall featuring too many vehicles pulled from a bush that looked as solid as this truck does. Not surprisingly, this 1980 Chevy pickup here on… more»

Visionary Needed: 1955 Pontiac Two Door Wagon

As one of the foremost practitioners of resurrecting lost automotive causes, I’ve come across a lot of cars that I can see good in where most folks don’t. This is one of them. However, unless you really want a two-door… more»

Way Too Hot Rod: 1940 Chevy Coupe

There are some days you just don’t want to have. One of them is the day your shop goes up in flames. We’ve featured a few fire victims on this site, and your heart goes out to these owners… more»
