The other day I decided to go through some of my stuff that’s stored in my parent’s garage. While rummaging around in there, I discovered a few treasures. People sometimes give things to my Dad when he is working… more»
1964 Chevelle 300: Muscle Wagon Potential?
For a while now, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect station wagon to turn into my interpretation of a “muscle wagon”. A few candidates have shown up, but nothing have really stood out to me. This 1964… more»
Three-Wheeler: 1984 Reliant Rialto
Fans of Top Gear and other British TV shows will recognize this three-wheeler as a Reliant. Offering inexpensive transportation with rust-free fiberglass bodies (but not frames!), the manufacturer offered three-wheelers from 1935 to 2001. This particular one is up… more»
Budget Buick: 1929 Marquette
I love to come across a car I’ve never heard of, and that’s what happened with this 1929 Marquette. Actually, it’s a lower priced Buick that was introduced just before the Great Depression hit. As best as I can… more»
Big Healey With Same Owner For 50 Years!
This 1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 is claimed to have been owned by the same person for over 50 years! It has also been parked for the last 39 of them so it’s going to need lots of work to be… more»
1973 Volvo 1800ES: Kicked Outside
Much like the displaced Mercedes-Benz 450SL entry from earlier this week, this once-cherished 1973 Volvo 1800ES on eBay found itself outside after the owners couldn’t keep it running. A sad tale, because the seller’s mention of how much the car was… more»
Pace Car Coupe: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z10
We have featured a couple of Pace Car Camaros, but this is the first one I have ever seen with a roof! Apparently, there were some coupe versions of the special car made, but they were only sold through… more»
Boring Four-Door With A Mystery Engine
How much would you pay for a four-door Olds? If you are like me, not much. What if that car had something interesting under the hood though? The seller of this 1970 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale just purchased it from… more»
Better Hurry: 1966 Jaguar S-Type
Yet another flipper that can’t be bothered to take the car off the trailer before picturing it, a pet peeve of mine. Nevertheless, it is my favorite Jaguar sedan, the S-Type, and fellow Barn Finds writer Jeff L knew… more»
1975 Chevy Cosworth Vega: No Thanks, Dad
If the seller’s story is to be believed, what a good one it is. Dad bought this 1975 Chevy Cosworth Vega that’s listed here on eBay for his son’s 16th birthday. Turns out, his son never bothered to learn how… more»
1970 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible: Price Justified?
I’ve never understood the fascination with desirable convertibles. This 1970 Plymouth Barracuda convertible found here on eBay is a low-spec 318-powered automatic car, but bidding is already over $25,000! I know production numbers were low, and I can possibly justify… more»
1979 Porsche 911 SC: Good Tastes
If you ask me what my favorite combination of features in a project car is, this 1979 Porsche 911 SC found here on eBay would be a textbook example. Survivor-grade car with some nice factory options – Fuchs wheels, headlight… more»
Lot Find: 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280CE
There must be some awfully honest people in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Why? Because this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280CE coupe found here on eBay apparently sat on an abandoned lot for 8 years and it was never once vandalized, broken into, or had… more»
1942 Lincoln V12 Sedan: The Glory Days
Every time a Lincoln commercial spills onto my TV, I start to scowl. Nothing against Matthew McConaughey – I actually dig the True Detective persona he’s adopted – but because I know what their cars are. More platform-sharing, engine-sharing, zero-imagination byproducts from… more»
84 Years Young: 1931 Chrysler CM6
The seller of this Chrysler survivor is quick to state that it’s not a barn find, but that it had always been garage until they purchased it. I think it still fits on this site though! It’s currently stored… more»
The SnowToaster: 1961 Thiokol Trackmaster
Short of your own personal tank, I can’t think of many vehicles that could go places this 1961 Snow Cat couldn’t! And it’s actually been modified to be even more capable than when it left the factory. Located in Lynnwood,… more»
