35k Original Miles: 1980 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo

Nine-Passenger 1966 Chevrolet Impala Wagon

Dukes Of Hazzard Wanna Be? 1969 Dodge Charger

A 1969 Dodge Charger. Right, one of about 85K built and we’ve probably covered every existing one on Barn Finds. They are popular and some of the worst examples that I have covered still ring up bodacious prices. This… more»

1 or 12 Left? 1958 Edsel Bermuda Station Wagon

Field Find: 1957 Dodge Power Wagon W-100

Custom 2-Door! 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Wagon

Corvette 327 V8! 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS

After selling more than one million Chevy IIs in 1962-65, Chevrolet redesigned the compact for 1966. The styling was crisper and more angular, looking like a shrunken version of the larger Chevies. Sales would increase by more than 50,000… more»
