1966 Sunbeam Alpine: Aged to Perfection
With only 85,000 miles and an extended slumber of 25 years under its tires, this 1966 Sunbeam Alpine is extremely original and a tempting project – if you don’t mind driving the slower-sibling of the fire-breathing Sunbeam Tiger. Listed… more»

1979 Pontiac Trans Am: Bandit In The Barn
I grew up watching shows like The Dukes of Hazzard, Herbie the Love Bug, and Smokey and the Bandit. For many of us that watched these movies and shows, these cars have special meaning. They were more than cars, they had… more»

Pushes My Buttons: 1956 Chrysler New Yorker
Maybe it’s the two-tone paint, maybe the original-looking interior, maybe it’s those 8 audacious chrome accents on the rear fins. Or maybe it’s the thundering Hemi underhood! There’s something about this vintage Mopar that I really like. It’s currently… more»

1973 Volvo 1800 ES Hot Rod?
With one of the more unusual descriptions I’ve seen in an eBay auction, this car that can “tempt AC Cobras” is for sale in Succasunna, New Jersey where it “burns rubber.” You can find the auction here on eBay… more»

1975 Triumph TR6: For Sun Lovers
The Triumph TR6 has always been one of my favorite British roadsters, primarily based on its styling. While I can appreciate cars like the Spitfire and MGB, they never looked quite aggressive enough to me in stock form. But… more»

1963 Studebaker Daytona Wagon: Dad-Friendly
It’s somewhat inevitable that even the staunchest gearhead among us will have to concede defeat and buy a family vehicle if children are in the future. I often think about what I’d purchase that would be safe and spacious but also… more»

1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS: All The Options
As a matter of personal preference, I tend to place a lot of emphasis on tracking down the original optional equipment that was available when either of my two 1987 BMWs were new. Roof racks, CD changers, car covers,… more»

Baker’s Wagon: 1946 Chevy Panel Truck
Patina has become a controversial topic with lots of different opinions and views, but no matter your definition or taste for it, one thing’s for sure in my mind – this old bakery delivery truck looks awesome! It is… more»

Cherry Blossom: 1957 Mercury Monterey
This is an opportunity to stand out from the crowd! As the seller notes, there are a lot of more mainstream ’57 cars out there, such as Fords and Chevrolets, but very few of these spectacular Mercurys. This Monterey is listed… more»

Ford GT with a Bed: 1978 Ranchero GT
As we’ve discussed before at Barn Finds, the Ranchero is a rather unusual hybrid between a truck and a car. I really wasn’t aware of a “GT” model before, and I would have expected a 351 under the hood,… more»

1984 Buick Grand National: Future Classic
It’s funny how we tend to view classic cars as only being a certain range of years, as if time stands still. Sadly, each year we all get a little older and so does everything else. That once unloved… more»

Awakened Yesterday: 1957 Pontiac Star Chief
Yes, this is another car where the seller couldn’t even wait to take it off the trailer before taking pictures for the ad. But this one might be worth a second glance anyway! Located in Pittsburg, Texas and offered for sale… more»
