What’s the most interesting car on your local Craigslist that pops up when you search for the word “barn” ?

Kinja'd!!!

How about an LS swapped Edsel wagon that drove from coast to coast?

Dune Buggy. Difficulty: Ad is actually for “pop up barns” and not technically selling cars.

This awesome sauce. But fuck the seller, I already flagged him once because at the end of his ad it said “ I will not sell to Muslims.” I think there was something else as well but can’t remember

For purposes of this, yes, because it’s the only interesting thing with any number of wheels.

Unless you want to count made-in-China plywood “barn doors.”

Or this. (SFW)

(I disqualified the ‘barn find’ car that was clearly not a barn find.)

When I pulled up your CL and searched “barn” I got this, among others:

https://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/d/painesville-1989-honda-prelude-si-barn/6802162339.html

It doesn't have to be an actual barn find, just the best thing that comes up when you search for "barn"

“The best thing,” cites rotted out automatic Prelude with failed transmission that is just someone trying to scam.

At least have the decency to link this one .

Ok fine. My local craigslist has almost nothing - a 1993 Mercedes 300E that’s been sitting “for 3 years” and looks spotless in and out. What?

Boston CL has some interesting stuff at least:

I love how the entire state of Delaware has one Craigslist. It makes sense though. And I'm sure that Wilmington folks put stuff on the Philly CL too.

The only Sunbeam I’m familiar with is the Tiger, so that was not what I was expecting, but I do like it a lot. I would absolutely love to turn that into a street rod.

“I want a truck, but I don’t want to look poor”

Hudson “don’t worry, we got you.” Builds truck with hood as long as the bed.

You could do that bac then, because they’re wasn’t much difference between cars and trucks mechanically. Studibacker did the same thing more than once.

Basically, the whole state is like an extended suburb of Philadelphia . We only have like 96 0,000 residents, and almost  2/3 of them are in New Castle County.

I grew up outside of Philly and my grandparents retired to near Millsboro, so I've spent my fair share of time driving across those 3 counties.

Know it well, that whole area was part of my sales territory for years (Sussex and southern Kent). My family is mostly in Bucks County PA, but my uncle has been pushing to retire to Millsboro for some time - h e’s a total cheapskate and is sold on the cheap real estate and low taxes, the holdup is that my aunt is afraid that the area is  too much of a ghost t own in the winter.

My grandparent’s place had a Millsboro address but was actually closer to Long Neck. Pot Nets Bayside is the community. My parents own the place now and intend on retiring there in a few years. They currently live near Allentown, as do I.

That area is awfully quiet in the wintertime but I like it.

I’ve got a friend that lives back in that area, not Pot Nets, but another community right by it.  Pretty decent diner near there.

That's pretty cool. I have no idea if that price is reasonable but it would make for a neat display piece.
