Rolled Runner: 1958 Panhard Dyna Z

We have featured a couple of these quirky little French cars before, but none have looked quite like this! The car appears to have actually been in decent shape before the roll-over incident. The seller mentions that the engine… more»

1985 Lamborghini Countach: Midwest Barn Find

Somewhere on a Midwest farm, this Lamborghini Countach slumbered in an old barn for 15 years. To think a rare European spec Quattrovalvole was just parked in this barn and forgotten! Not only is this car a carbureted 5000 QV, it has… more»

1969 Mercury Marauder X100: Crazy Paint

I remember when the Marauder nameplate made its re-entry to the market in the early 2000s; it was big, black and imposing. It went after a different consumer, however, than what the original concept set out to capture. This… more»

1968 Camaro: Sleeper Pony

While most Camaro fans dream of owning an SS with a big block or a Z/28, I wouldn’t mind finding a base Camaro with a V8. This car might be just what I’m looking for, as it left the factory… more»

1970 Monte Carlo SS 454: Genuine Article?

Motoring Monday: 1974 Triumph TR6 Kit

Barn-Parked Since 1976: 1951 Henry J

America wasn’t really ready for a sensible compact car that was reliable and got (for the day) good gas mileage. So goes the story of the Henry J and Allstate, basic small transportation that just didn’t catch on the… more»

1973 Volvo 1800ES: Kicked Outside

Much like the displaced Mercedes-Benz 450SL entry from earlier this week, this once-cherished 1973 Volvo 1800ES on eBay found itself outside after the owners couldn’t keep it running. A sad tale, because the seller’s mention of how much the car was… more»

Better Hurry: 1966 Jaguar S-Type

Yet another flipper that can’t be bothered to take the car off the trailer before picturing it, a pet peeve of mine. Nevertheless, it is my favorite Jaguar sedan, the S-Type, and fellow Barn Finds writer Jeff L knew… more»

1979 Porsche 911 SC: Good Tastes

If you ask me what my favorite combination of features in a project car is, this 1979 Porsche 911 SC found here on eBay would be a textbook example. Survivor-grade car with some nice factory options – Fuchs wheels, headlight… more»

1942 Lincoln V12 Sedan: The Glory Days

Every time a Lincoln commercial spills onto my TV, I start to scowl. Nothing against Matthew McConaughey – I actually dig the True Detective persona he’s adopted – but because I know what their cars are. More platform-sharing, engine-sharing, zero-imagination byproducts from… more»

1985 TVR 280i Tasmin: Cheap Speed

Often times, the arrival of a TVR on eBay means an eclectic British sports car with finicky mechanics and a lofty auction price. Fortunately, some of the company’s later offerings are still accessible for those on a budget. This… more»

Found: Stuarti Sonata

A Trio Of Triumph TR3’s

Choices, choices! Today we have three Triumph TR3’s to choose from in three very different conditions. The yellow one is a typical barn find car, said to have been stored for over 40 years and in the same family’s… more»

1959 Borgward Isabella Field Find

Long-time Barn Finds readers will remember we’ve covered Borgward Isabellas before. With very unique styling and a fairly advanced small four-cylinder engine, the pretty German coupe was a very different offering when new. This one has been sitting in… more»
