We have featured a few Gremlins over the years, but every time we have wished that they had a V8/manual in place of the more common inline-six/automatic combo. Well, I just found our dream Gremlin! This one not only has a 304… more»
Yes, You Could Have a V8: 1980 Triumph TR8
Ok, I admit it, as a past owner of a TR8 (and hopefully someday a future owner as well), I’m partial to the last Triumph TR. The Harris Mann-penned design has worn well through the years, and this convertible… more»
Stuck in the Shore: Lake-Find BMW Isetta
Despite knowing how much havoc moisture can wreck on a car – especially one enshrouded in vintage tin – I’m always fascinated by cars and trucks discovered in the water. Dive sites, shipwrecks, and insurance fraud all describe scenarios… more»

While discussing the strange appeal of “as found” cars, my good buddy Sid once exclaimed, “people want to see the sarcophagus!”. We all love to to see the dusty resting place of a good barn find before it gets pulled… more»
Out of Time: 1972 Volvo 1800E
Project cars: we love them, we loathe them. As I consider potentially adding a new project to my fleet, I’m reminded of the thoughts I had in the first few months of owning my E30. Feeling overwhelmed comes to… more»
A Fair Project: 1967 Ford Fairlane 500
When I was in high school, two of my friends had cars similar to this. One was a Comet, the other a Fairlane. What I remember the most was the sweet exhaust note both of them had; I believe… more»
Seeking Info: 1950 Crosley “Super” Hotshot
From Dave Anspach – I am the proud owner of a “barn” (well garage) find 1950 Crosley “Super” Hotshot. Crosley made the Hotshot as America’s first postwar sportscar beginning in 1949. The cars had a varied and successful racing… more»
Fix It Again Tony: Fiat 124 Spider Duo
So after making the 12 hour journey back to Wyoming to visit family for the holiday, one of the first things I did upon arriving back in town was to check on my 1974 Fiat 124 Spider. Now those… more»
Canadian Cat: 1992 Jaguar XJS Coupe
I’ve taken an affinity towards these modern-day Jaguar coupes in recent months. This has little to do with any sort of allegiance to the brand; rather, I’ve come across a few in local salvage yards that have yielded some… more»
Cruising Patrol: 1939 Ford Ambulance
While most current ambulances are converted from vans, I remember seeing a lot of converted station wagons in my youth. Go back even further , by looking at the front end sheetmetal and the lack of a v8 emblem… more»
Star Cruiser: 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL
I love searching through auction listings online, but ideally I would rather stumble upon an unadvertised estate sale with rows of classics up for grabs (for a screaming bargain, of course!) I’m not sure if that’s what occurred for the seller… more»

Update 11/28/14 – Looks like someone scooped this one up cheap and is attempting to flip it here on eBay for $8,500 obo. Wow! From 9/2/14 – When most of us hear “Jensen Interceptor” we probably think of the… more»
Junior Workhourse: 1967 Toyota T100 Stout

Thick Dust: 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible
Barn finds are known for their dusty and dirty look, especially when they are first discovered. I’ve seen some seriously dusty cars over the years, but I think this 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible takes the cake. The thick coating… more»
A-peeling Coupe: 1969 Triumph GT6+
When the Triumph Spitfire debuted in 1962, the fact that it had the small 1147cc Herald-based engine didn’t matter to a market hungry for an Italian-styled pretty little sports car. Unlike its main competitors (the Austin-Healey Sprite/MG Midget tandem)… more»
