DIY Sports Car: 1954 Woodill Wildfire

We have featured a couple of Woodill Wildfires over the years, but haven’t seen any on the market recently. So, when Barn Finds reader Richard B sent over a link to this one I knew we had to present… more»

1962 Triumph Herald: Hark, the Herald Axles Swing!

Yes, Triumph Heralds have swing axle rear suspension, although this one certainly has a much lower stance than it left the factory with. My wife happens to own and cherish a 1963 Herald 1200 Convertible (whose name is Robbie),… more»

Stalled and Stored: 1973 Porsche 911

Whenever I drive past the port in my fair city, I wonder what’s sitting in those shipping containers at the dock. Furniture? Scrap metal? Appliances? Vintage Porsche 911s? Yes, after reading this eBay listing sent in by Jim S,… more»

French Class: 1961 Peugeot 403

Fans of the TV show Columbo will recall this front end (although he drove a cabriolet version).  As an unabashed fan of the Peugeot 505 wagon I used to own, this solid looking Peugeot 403 caught my eye here… more»

Rare Welsh Wagon: Gilbern Invader Estate

I love to learn about new cars I’ve never seen before! Today I learned about a very special wagon that I had never heard or seen of. If you haven’t ever heard of Gilbern Sports Cars, it’s alright because… more»

Shipping Day Is Hard To Do!

We said goodbye to two members of the Barn Finds fleet this week. First, the Duster on Tuesday and then the Miata yesterday. It’s always hard to send off cars we have hunted for, acquired, and enjoyed, but each farewell… more»

Oregon Coast Stash:  Volvo, Opel, Saab, & Datsun

Barn Finds reader Johnny S uncovered a great find in Oregon: a 1970 Opel GT, 1963 Volvo P1800, 1968 Saab V4, and a Datsun Fairlady, all in the same barn!  They all need work, but the asking prices don’t… more»

Patinaed Pickup: 1955 Studebaker E10

Growing up only a few hours from South Dakota and having family in the Black Hills area meant spending many a weekend in South Dakota. I still remember fondly driving around as a family looking at all the old… more»

California Kissed: 1969 Chevy Corvette

When I bought my M3, I really didn’t think too much about it being from San Diego. At that point, I just needed the car and shipping it seemed like a logistical nightmare. But, the price was right and… more»

Big Block Brit: 1973 Jensen Interceptor

We’ve featured quite a few Jensen Interceptors recently. I’m not sure if there are simply more coming to market or if we have all just been on a Jensen kick lately, but seeing yet another Interceptor is really giving… more»

What a Face! 1957 Chevrolet Suburban 3100

Looking over Craigslist this morning, the face of this Suburban jumped out at me. What a mug! I think this truck may be saying “Get me back on the road or else!” This tough looking early SUV can be… more»

The Original Commuter: 1972 Honda Z600

If you have any memory of how big Honda’s Civic was in the 80s, you likely recall a small, tin-like structure that was as efficient as it was compact. The thing is, the Civic has lost much of that… more»

Wagon with a Stiff Upper Lip: 1969 Ford Cortina

When I first saw the pictures of this Cortina Estate, the nose-in-the air attitude caused by a lack of drivetrain had me thinking of my very British father’s suggestion of “keeping a stiff upper lip” when faced with crisis…. more»

1971 Mustang Mach 1: Too Rusty to Rescue?

Yesterday, I completed the purchase of a new project. I’m not ready to divulge the details just yet, but I will soon! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking, especially when you tend to buy cars like I do from sunny… more»

1959 Volvo PV544 for $1,000

Even though both a 122 and a 145 currently reside in my garage, I still want to find a 544. That may sound crazy because the PV544 is the most archaic of the bunch, but it was also the lightest…. more»

5 Mile Truck: 1964 Chevy C-10

Looking at this 1964 Chevy C-10 Pickup, you might think it is just another restored truck, but in reality this has only seen 5 miles since brand new. How could that be possible you might ask? You see this… more»
