Splendid Survivor: 1964 Cadillac DeVille

Big, formal, and elegant is one way to describe this 1964 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. It comes across, at first, with a big visual statement just like this 1967 Imperial convertible featured a few days ago but it’s definitely in… more»

Grapes of Wrath: 1931 Ford Model A Tudor

John Steinbeck’s landmark book “The Grapes of Wrath” is a fictional account of a family’s desperate attempt to escape poverty by moving across the country to California.  In the movie adaptation, the family traveled in a 1926 Hudson.  In… more»

Former Race Car: 1965 Plymouth Satellite

Plymouth introduced the Satellite in 1965 as its top-level mid-size model. It was based on the B-body platform that was also used by the Belvedere. In its first year, the car was only available as a 2-door hardtop and… more»

JDM Executive Sedan: 1997 Toyota Aristo

Here’s my big question with cars like this: has the allure of owning a genuine Japanese-market vehicle begun to subside? It seems like more and more casual flippers are getting into the business of bringing over some slightly-warmed over… more»

V8 With Overdrive! 1958 Studebaker Transtar

In the 1950s and 1960s, Studebaker had a smaller presence in the truck market than its major competitors. From 1956 through 1963 (skipping 1959), Studebaker sold ½-ton, ¾-ton, and 1-ton pickups under the Transtar nameplate through 1958. The roots… more»

Repeat Ragtop: 1948 Studebaker Champion

An old Studebaker convertible, like this 1948 Champion, is always going to be an attention getter. But what really caught my attention is the fact that this car has graced Barn Finds‘ web pages before. We actually had it… more»

1 of 160: 1970 Oldsmobile Rallye 350

By all accounts, the 1970 model year was the pinnacle of the muscle car movement. The insurance companies had wised up to these factory-built race cars and the Feds were about to bear down on air pollution created by… more»

400 V8: 1972 Pontiac GTO

The GTO (aka “Gas, Tires & Oil”) is considered the pioneer of the muscle car movement of the 1960s. A lot of worthy adversaries would come and go, yet the GTO sold more than a half million copies in… more»

Best In World? 1959 Auto Union 1000 Coupe

In 1932, Auto Union was formed from … well, the union of four companies: DKW, Audi, Horch, and Wanderer. These four companies were symbolized by a badge with four interlocking rings (in a line, so as to not be… more»

Matching Numbers Drophead: 1958 Aston Martin DB Mark lll

When it comes to owning a vintage European classic, there is plenty of evidence that in the U.S., finding a desirable car in left hand drive configuration is a significant driver of value. While limited production models are generally… more»

23K Original Miles: 1988 Saleen Mustang

By far my favorite domestic muscle car is the Fox body era of the Saleen Mustang. In addition to being enormously collectible owing to their limited production, these cars just scream 1980s vibes with their wild decal kits and… more»

Storage Unit Find: 1959 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite

Perhaps the best feature of a compact sports car like the classic Bugeye Sprite is that it can be shoved into the far corner of a storage unit until there’s time allocated to work on it. That seems to… more»

Showroom Condition: 1964 Pontiac Bonneville

I have previously raised the subject of automotive perfection and questioned whether such a thing exists. This 1964 Pontiac Bonneville tests that theory, with its owner describing it as being in showroom condition. It undeniably presents beautifully, but the… more»

Final Year 454: 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

The 1974 model year was a significant one for Chevrolet’s iconic Corvette. It marked the final year buyers could order their C3 with a big-block under the hood, with 3,494 ticking that box on the Order Form. The 454… more»

Workhorse Restomod: 1970 GMC Value-Van

The GMC Value-Van and its Chevrolet counterpart, the Step-Van, were multi-stop trucks/vans made by General Motors between 1940 and 1999. In the case of this 1970 example, it looks like a square box on wheels, which would enable it… more»

37k Original Miles: 1992 Buick Roadmaster Limited

There comes a time in life when classic car enthusiasts crave life at a slower pace. They remain passionate about high-performance models but sometimes wish to view the frenetic pace of the outside world from a position of splendid… more»
