Two Stroke Survivor: 1971 Yamaha CS3 200

Twin H Power: 1953 Hudson Hornet Barn Find!

This 1953 Hudson Hornet with “Twin H Power” is listed here on Craigslist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and looking over its faded glory is practically an archaeological experience. The cool aesthetics of the early 1950s are revealed.

Desert Jewel: 1967 Cadillac Eldorado

I was just in Palm Springs and that general area and every time I’m there I vow to try to find a way to move there, at least for the winter months. Just what they want, more snowbirds clutterin’… more»

Rust Free 1969 Mercury Marauder X-100

This 1969 Mercury Marauder X-100 is in a similar class to the ’69 Buick Wildcat that we saw a day ago here on Barn Finds. At least to me, it is. It’s a big, luxurious, and powerful American car… more»

Low Mile Survivor: 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII

Some enthusiasts yearn to own a classic offering unparalleled luxury, but such cars can often prove prohibitively expensive. However, this 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII is in fantastic condition for its age and has a genuine 37,000 miles showing on… more»

Some classics wear the title of a genuine muscle car, while others are pretenders to the crown. This 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda leaves us with no doubt that it’s the real deal, making it one of the most desirable… more»

Beautiful Survivor: 1969 Buick Wildcat

I could see James Bond driving a Buick Wildcat, they’re cool, tough, and elegant all at the same time. There aren’t a lot of cars that are like that, or at least I can’t think of too many. This… more»

Eight Passenger 1954 Chrysler Windsor DeLuxe

“A Beautiful Car…a BIG CAR…The Finest Car in the Medium-Price Field!” reads an ad for the 1954 Chrysler Windsor DeLuxe. And that wasn’t even an eight-passenger sedan like this 1954 Chrysler Windsor DeLuxe is. The seller has this BIG… more»

No Reserve Turbo: 1984 Nissan 300ZX

The Z31-era of the classic Nissan 300ZX remains one of the more accessible chapters in Nissan’s sports car history. For years, it has been stationed at the bottom of the food chain, but this appears to be changing as… more»

Estate Sale Survivor: 1960 Lancia Appia

Usually, when one bandies about the “Survivor” term it’s in reference to a sparingly used domestic model of some esteem. But a survivor Lancia? Well, why not, the title shouldn’t know a specific auto nationality and that’s the case… more»

Saved From The Crusher: 1940s Ford 9N Tractor

This tractor is a little tough to nail down the date for when it was made. The seller doesn’t show any numbers but they refer to it as a 1939 to 1942 Ford 9N. They have it listed here… more»

Project Pony: 1976 Ford Pinto

This car has a missing letter “O” and that’s the least of its problems. It’s original, like a time capsule that was left inside of a sealed ziploc in Puerto Rico for three decades which is a shame. This… more»

19K Mile: 1984 Buick Riviera

In 1984, Ronald Reagan was re-elected as president of the United States and Scorpion released “Rock You Like a Hurricane!” That classic was probably not played on this car’s cassette deck back in the day, because this car has… more»

Yamaha’s Last Real Enduro? 1973 Yamaha RT3 360
