Barn Find: 1966 Fiat 1100-D Station Wagon

About as close to an Italian “wagon” as most of us are likely to see on the road today would be an SUV: a used Maserati Levante or an Alfa Romeo Stelvio or Tonale, which are often much cheaper… more»

33K-Mile One-Owner 1995 Oldsmobile Delta Eighty Eight Royale

33,832 miles in three decades? That’s the amount of driving that a lot of us do in a single year, so it’s always fun to see these ultra-low-mile cars from decades ago. A 1995 four-door sedan probably wouldn’t be… more»

25k Miles: 1965 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88

We all follow our own muses when it comes to car collecting, don’t we? I almost exclusively buy ten-footers that need some work because it’s my hobby and I value a car that looks as if it’s seen some… more»

Daily Driver Candidate? 1968 Ford Mustang

1-of-602: 1959 DeSoto Adventurer

Occasionally, cars appear on our desks at Barn Finds that are so stunning that identifying their greatest attribute is seemingly impossible. Such is the case with this 1959 DeSoto Adventurer. From its stunning exterior to its well-appointed interior and… more»

One Family Owned: 1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner

When it comes to the question of a known ownership history, this 1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner comfortably ticks that box. It has been part of the same family since Day One, moving from one generation to the next throughout… more»

Museum Quality: 1,543 Mile 1983 DMC DeLorean

UPDATE 05/24/2025: The seller has had no luck shifting this 1983 DMC DeLorean we saw in January. Therefore, they have decided to make another attempt to find it a new home. Interestingly, they have dropped the price, but only… more»

35K-Mile Loaded Survivor: 1977 Chrysler Newport

How can such a sedate, some might say boring four-door sedan have such appeal today? For me, the interior is the big part. Well, actually being almost 19 feet long is a big part, too, but once you see… more»

Western Nebraska Truck: 1955 Ford F-100 272 V8

The Great Plains conjures up so many mental images, from great sweeping prairies and farm fields to small family farms. That region has to still be loaded with old pickups lying around in barns or in fields waiting for… more»

Rust-Free 1990 Chevrolet Beretta Indy Coupe

With the Memorial Day Classic, the Indy 500, just one day away, sellers are taking advantage of the big race by populating the pages of Marketplace, eBay, and craigslist with their pace car replicas. We’ve seen a couple Buick… more»

14k Original Miles: No Reserve 1981 DMC DeLorean

Until recently, this 1981 DMC DeLorean had occupied the same spot in the previous owner’s garage since 1993. This lack of action makes it unsurprising that its odometer shows only 14,000 original miles. The seller has revived the DeLorean,… more»

Niki Lauda Edition: 1978 Alfa Romeo Spider

After a horrific accident in 1976, Niki Lauda managed a comeback that landed him in a Brabham-Alfa Romeo F1 car sponsored by Parmalat. It was 1978. The car was powered by an Alfa flat-12 and raced to limited success…. more»

32K Original Miles: 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited

There’s little doubt the XJ-chassis Jeep Cherokee is a modern classic. The styling, the drivetrain, and the low cost of maintenance have collectively made it a home run with enthusiasts all day long. Strangely, though, the prices have been… more»
