Ninety Years Waiting: 1924 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A

Tommy H found the story of this amazing Tipo 8A on the Road & Track website and shared it with us. Some say this is the greatest barn find ever, but the Tucker the same fellow found last year was pretty… more»

Big Survivor: 1966 Pontiac Catalina

I know the Pontiac Catalina isn’t as popular as its smaller sibling the GTO, but I really like these big Ponchos. The Coke bottle styling is fantastic and the 389 V8 offered plenty of giddy-up even in it’s lowest… more»

Stalled Restoration: 1966 Aston Martin DB6

“The Bond car” offers perhaps no greater evidence that the right movie placement can make a car legendary for generations. The Bullitt Mustang, the Aston Martin DB6 – regardless of what they were like to drive, their presence on… more»

22,457 Miles: Barn Find 1962 Chrysler Imperial

This 1962 Chrysler Crown Imperial coupe is a recent discovery, as it has sat in storage since 1985. Like so many other stories about the self-storage facility hiding a forgotten classic car, it’s difficult not to imagine the slightly… more»

Hurricane Engined: 1958 Willys Jeep

Sometimes old cars have expressions, just like pets or people. This one seems to be saying “I want to work some more!” It’s offered by the same seller that has the 1973 Corvette listed in another post, located in… more»

So You Want A Corvette? 1973 That Needs Everything

Well, it is a Corvette. However, let’s just say it’s not the nicest one I’ve ever seen. Still, it could be rebuilt–and right now it’s being auctioned at $510 here on eBay without a reserve! This piece of yellow fantastic… more»

Six Miles from New: 1993 Porsche 911 RSR

To buy a car and not use it is one thing; to buy perhaps one of the best driver’s cars ever conceived and barely turn a wheel is a crime. Needless to say, in one of the more significant… more»

Another Dusty Old Chevy: 1939 Chevy Master Deluxe

A couple of weeks ago Brian wrote a great piece about a similar Chevy, except that it was a coupe. Bidding ended at less than the reserve, about $9000, so it did not sell but it was relisted and with the… more»

Split Personality : 1983 Datsun Maxima Wagon

Nissan Motors applied the Datsun brand name to its cars for many years (originally to distance the company from the fact that Nissan was a major military supplier during World War II). The Datsun name was, of course, extremely… more»

One Owner Survivor: 1979 Ford Thunderbird

They don’t come much cleaner than this one! This 1979 Ford Thunderbird’s original owner died about 10 years ago, but his wife didn’t get around to selling his two cars until recently (more about the other one later). It’s… more»

Parked Since 1974: 1965 Triumph TR4A

Although the seller describes this as a 1964, it’s clearly a Triumph TR4A not a TR4, which makes it a 1965-1967 model. The last time it was licensed was in 1974, and while there appears to be some damage… more»

Airplane Heritage Find: 1952 Bristol 401

I have heard the term “gentleman’s express” used to describe Bristols in the past. When an airplane company decides to build cars, they typically go their own route to some extent (ask Saab owners), and Bristol was no exception…. more»

Forgotten Type 1: 1967 Volkswagen Beetle

Many things can be said about the Volkswagen Beetle, its history and popularity. Although developed in the late 1930’s the Beetle was a successfully sold automobile up until production ceased in 2003. Known for their simplicity, and reliable drive-train, there… more»

From The Past To The Future: 1981 Tri-Magnum

Looking for all the world like something out of a science fiction movie, this 1981 Tri-Magnum doesn’t look like it would take much to put it back on the road. It sounds like it’s being sold by the original… more»

M3 Killer: 1993 BMW 320 SS With Ecotec Power!

Engine swaps are not uncommon around here. We have featured many American engined European cars, but this could be the first BMW. It may not seem like the most obvious candidate, but someone took it upon themselves to see if a 300… more»

Caged Cat: 1979 Mercury Bobcat

Like so many other corporate twins, the Mercury Bobcat was simply another rendition of Ford’s Pinto. Over the years, as the Pinto has become more obscure, the Bobcat has seemingly sunk into oblivion. This late-production 1979 model represented the… more»
