Future Find: 2011 Pontiac Trans Am?

Big Barn Find: 1950 GM Transit Bus

Manual Equipped G-Body: 1980 Chevrolet Malibu Wagon

3 Cylinder Air-Cooled Diesel: 1950 Ford Hot Rod Truck

You could buy a dozen or more self-proclaimed “Rat Rods” on eBay any day of the week, but this one takes it up to that next level and firmly presses the “What-the-What!?” button. For example, is that a cross-cut… more»

Obscure cars are enjoyable for knowing you likely won’t see yourself coming or going, but they can prove challenging to maintain long-term. This 1991 Peugeot 405 Mi16 is a truly loved example, with significant service records and a well-preserved… more»

Rollin’ Coal: 1984 GMC Caballero Amarillo

For those who are old enough, remember the OPEC oil embargoes that happened back in the 1970s? After two oil embargoes (first in 1974, and then in 1979) rocked the United States, fuel-efficient engines and downsized cars replaced the… more»

Cannot Rust: 1963 Winchester London Taxi

There have been several London taxis featured here on Barn Finds recently and here’s yet another, a fiberglass taxi. Wait, what, why fiberglass? London Taxis are very tightly regulated. They must be approved by the Public Carriage Office which requires… more»

1971 Chevrolet Corvette Sportwagon

Station wagon conversions on vintage American cars are not unheard of, but they aren’t always easy to come by. Thanks to reader John B. for sending this one in! I have seen a ’65 Mustang wagon in person, and… more»

WWII P-47 Belly Fuel Tank….Street Rod?

Although it was built recently, the seller has certainly tapped into traditional street rod style on this one. It’s not a perfectly restored ’32 Ford, but I wouldn’t exactly call this a rat-rod either! The seller, who seems to… more»

“One Of A Kind” – 1995 Replica

I love automotive dreams! Without folks that are willing to put the hard work into turning their ephemeral visions into metal and fumes, the automotive enthusiast world would be a much less fun place to participate in. This “Mirage”… more»

Weird Looking Pontiac: 1970 VW Karmann Ghia

This isn’t your typical kit-car. In fact, this isn’t a kit-car at all! Reader Pat L. sent us this Karmann Ghia that has been turned into a miniature Pontiac Firebird–sort of. The front clip is a 1976 Firebird clip… more»

Forgotten Founders: 1960 Panhard PL17

Field Fresh Wagon: 1959 Edsel Villager

Though disliked by many for quite some time, Edsels are rising in both coolness and popularity. Being affordable projects while also being fairly obscure in the modern world are the two main reasons for this. While and Edsel project… more»

Pint-Sized Rolls-Royce: 1974 Volkswagen Beetle

Paging Tommy Chong! Alright, so this is a little more in-depth than Anthony Stoner attaching the grille from his parents’ Rolls-Royce to the front of his Beetle in Up In Smoke, but the sentiment is the same. Though these types… more»

Luscious Luce: 1972 Mazda 1800

Ok, maybe luscious isn’t quite the perfect word to describe this fantastically-rare and cool 1972 Mazda 1800. Lively? No, with a 0-60 time of 16 seconds, there may not be much zoom-zoom in this one. But, this is one… more»
