“A Volkswagen what, now?” That’s probably the reaction a fair number of people will have, but this 1982 VW Rabbit Diesel Pickup is a real thing. It’s also a real project that comes with an extra engine and transmission,… more»

1982 Chevrolet C20 Silverado Diesel 4-Speed
Said to be from Wyoming and stored in a barn for years, this 1982 Chevrolet C20 Silverado diesel 4-speed has an interesting look, to say the least. It does look solid, though, and the seller says it just has… more»
1984 John Deere 650 4×4 Diesel Tractor
John Deere Company is as American as apple pie, but then again, Yanmar is as Japanese as sweet red bean paste. This 1984 John Deere 650 4×4 Tractor is a bit of both worlds. This American-Japanese tractor can be… more»
Pizza Delivery Wagon: 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD
Is there a better color for a Mercedes diesel wagon than orange? No, no there isn’t. But, there’s probably not a better color for any vehicle. This one was painted orange by a previous owner to use as a… more»
1989 Dodge Power Ram W350 Turbo Diesel
Call me crazy, but I prefer the look of this 1989 Dodge Power Ram W350 diesel over any pickup Dodge has made since the redesign in mid-1993. The company has a history of making trucks look basically the same… more»
1961 International B-120 4×4 Turbo Diesel
It appears that this 1961 International B-120 4×4 short-bed “step-side” pickup was on its way to a restoration, with an interesting restomod touch in the name of a Mercedes-sourced turbodiesel engine and a GM-sourced Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. It sounds… more»
1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab Lariat 4×4 Dually Diesel
“Single rear wheel. Dual rear wheel. Short bed. Long Bed. Regular cab. SuperCab. Crew Cab. Chassis Cab. 4×2. 4×4. Five new dual-rear-wheel 4x4s. And six models available nowhere else. With the Super Duty F-350, the variety seems endless.” A… more»
California Car: 1982 Audi 4000 S Diesel 5-Speed
I just checked through the archives, and it looks like I’ve written about every Audi 4000 shown here on Barn Finds, and also every Audi diesel, which happened to all be Audi 5000s. That’s crazy, even for a major… more»
Rust-Free: 1992 Dodge Ram 250 Diesel 5-Speed
I’ll try not to say this 1992 Dodge Ram 250 diesel 5-speed is a box-checker as often as I usually do when a diesel truck with a manual transmission comes up for sale. This one is rear-wheel drive, so… more»
1987 Ford Ranger XLT 4×4 Turbo-Diesel 5-Speed
I have a bad habit of referring to vehicles as being box-checkers, as in having just about every feature or option that I’d ever want in a vehicle, usually a truck, since I’m heavily into pickups lately. This 1987… more»
BMW Diesel-Powered 1984 Lincoln Continental
I rant about bad photos a lot here on Barn Finds, and craigslist ads seem to be the worst. My apologies for that. Here’s a listing for a 1984 Lincoln Continental with a BMW turbodiesel engine, and the car… more»
1999 Ford F-350 SuperCab 4×4 Diesel 6-Speed
“Deer alerts? We ain’t got no deer alerts! We don’t need no deer alerts. I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ deer alerts!” To misquote the man with the gold hat in Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Looking… more»
1992 Dodge W250 Power Ram 4×4 Diesel 5-Speed
A strong contender for Barn Finds Best Photo of 2026 (there should be such a thing), this 1992 Dodge Power Ram W250 4×4 Diesel 5-Speed is parked in front of beautiful Mount McLoughlin, about an hour from Central Point,… more»
One-Owner 1990 Dodge Ram W250 4×4 Diesel
Single-cab pickups really stand out to me, I rarely see them anymore except for contractors and other commercial use. It’s rare to see one being used by someone as just a pickup, something to drive around, commute with, haul… more»
Rust Free 1993 Ford F-250 XLT 4×4 Diesel 5-Speed
The desirability meter is way past #11 on this one for me. The only wish list items I would change would be if it had a red interior and if we had a longer garage. Otherwise, this 1993 Ford… more»
2WD Project: 1979 International Scout Terra Diesel
I wish there could be a modern truck like this 1979 International Terra diesel. It’s the perfect size for me, or at least the perfect bed length. I like the idea of a small diesel engine much more than… more»
