As the Managing Editor and co-founder of Barn Finds, I spend my days tracking down finds to feature, helping our team of writers perfect their articles, and provide sellers with guidance on how best to find a good home for their classic.

BF Auction: 1967 Jaguar E-Type Roadster

Few project cars generate excitement quite like a Jaguar E-Type, and this 1967 Jaguar XK-E Roadster Series 1.5 looks like the sort of long-stalled restoration that could tempt an ambitious British car enthusiast. Located in San Diego, California, this… more»

BF Exclusive: 1960 Austin Healey Sprite

I’m a bit of a sucker for an Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. Not only are they fun to drive, but they’re also the happiest car out there. Their only real weakness is their lack of horsepower. While most people… more»

BF Auction: 1974 Lincoln Mark IV Survivor

BF Auction: 1973 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow LWB

BF Auction: 1988 Corvette 35th Anniversary

Finding a one-owner Corvette is always a win, but when it comes from an estate and has spent its entire life in a dry climate like Colorado, it gets even more interesting. This 1988 Chevrolet Corvette 35th Anniversary Edition… more»

BF Exclusive: 1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe
