Owned 45 Years: 1962 Chevrolet Corvette LT1

If spotless originality is less important to you than slipping behind the wheel of a tidy driver, this 1962 Corvette is worth a close look. It presents well but isn’t perfect. The interior is impressive, and the upgraded small-block… more»

The Outlaw Package: 1974 International Scout II

Back in the ’60s and ’70s, International was pretty smart in marketing its Scout line. Small SUVs like the Scout weren’t regularly restyled, so International released “Doll-Up” Scouts, special editions to keep people coming into showrooms. Dodge recently used… more»

Snowbound Project: 1970 Dodge Challenger

This 1970 Dodge Challenger has been looking for someone to save it for at least 18 months. We last saw it in August 2023, but the surroundings and photographs have changed, leading us to believe it has been flipped… more»

Rust-Free Original: 1989 Dodge Ramcharger 4×4

One-family-owned, 100% rust-free, and never been modified – other than getting a call from the Powerball Commission, those are some of my favorite things. We’ve seen a boatload of Ramchargers here on Barn Finds lately but this 1989 Dodge… more»

One Year Wonder: 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air

The Chevrolet Bel Air was overshadowed from within during the 1958 model year. That was when the Impala was born as a special edition and then became the company’s product leader in 1959. The ‘58s are known for being… more»

No Wallflower: 1973 De Tomaso Pantera

A wallflower is a person or object that blends seamlessly into the background in an attempt not to draw attention. It is doubtful that the term would ever describe this 1973 De Tomaso Pantera. These classics could turn heads… more»

Overhauled Engine: 1972 Cessna 414

It seems there is no other content area that has enjoyed as much growth on the likes of YouTube as there has been with private pilots and accident reporting. Perhaps it’s just my content mix, but it seems every… more»

1973 Chevrolet Caprice Sport Sedan 454 V8

Chevy’s Caprice was the company’s top-of-the-line “luxury” car. Plymouth had the Fury III and even more so, the VIP, and some other non-luxury brands that were known for making affordable vehicles were coming out with luxury models. This 40,000-mile… more»

Highly Original: 1949 Hudson Commodore 4-Door Sedan

“The New Hudson. Now You’re Face To Face With Tomorrow!” That’s how Hudson described their radically restyled car in 1948 that set the automotive industry on its ear. As an old marketing and advertising guy, I get a kick… more»

Same Owner 15 Years: 1968 Pontiac GTO Project

General Motors redesigned its mid-size cars in 1968, including the Pontiac GTO. That helped give the car a shot in the sales arm, and that model year would deliver the vehicle’s second-highest production figures. This ’68 GTO looks like… more»

61K-Miles: 1967 Ford F-350 And Chinook Camper

The 1960s was the golden age of camping, in my opinion. It was like the Wild West, much the same as in the snowmobiling world, people were looking for ways to have fun in their leisure time and camping… more»

Restored Frame: 1967 Chevrolet Impala Project

Chevrolet sold over one million Impalas in 1965, a record never bested. The 1967 models were based on the same platform/design as the ‘65s and saw about 650,000 assemblies, which wasn’t too shabby on their merit. The seller has… more»

Custom Batman-Themed Cruiser: The Bat Boat Mobile

Holy smoke!  What we have before us here is a custom creation known as The Bat Boat Mobile, a Batman boat car, and while it’s a different concept from the original Batmobile, the attention-getting potential here might be similar. … more»

Jump In And Drive: 1953 Kaiser Manhattan

The era of the postwar independent automaker is a rich and fascinating one, and its historical study is like a “choose your own adventure” book. Automotive historians have written many volumes on what might have been if one carmaker… more»

350 V8 Survivor: 1970 Chevrolet Caprice

Chevrolet introduced the Caprice in 1965, an upscale version of the Impala. It would be immediately successful, and the first generation was around through 1970 (the same as the rest of the full-size lineup). The Caprice began as a… more»
