One-Owner 1979 Chevrolet Impala Wagon

It’s a fair bet that many of us here at Barn Finds have at least one experience with a 1977-1979 Chevrolet. My aunt and uncle owned one, an orange ’77 Caprice Classic wagon with wood sides. A high school friend… more»

One-Family-Owned 1964 Chrysler New Yorker

UPDATE  02/13/2025: It isn’t unusual for a seller to not taste success when first listing their classic, leading many to try a second time. Such is the case with this 1964 Chrysler New Yorker. It seems that nothing has… more»

40k Miles? 1958 Chrysler Windsor Hardtop

Chrysler Corporation’s dramatic new styling caught a lot of attention for 1957. Unfortunately, build quality for those gorgeous machines was spotty, and that reputation combined with an almost-industry-wide sales dip for 1958 means that finding a nice Chrysler from… more»

Recently Painted: 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau

Despite their image, four-seat Thunderbird hardtops are not expensive collector cars, so it makes little sense to buy a rough one (not all of us make sense, however, thank goodness). According to the seller, this 1966 Town Landau has… more»

No Reserve Survivor: 1973 Chevrolet Blazer 4×4

How many car designs were so right upon their introduction that any changes made would simply be for the sake of change? I’m thinking of the ’40 Continental, the ’66 Toronado, and the Lamborghini Miura, but might I also… more»

BF Exclusive: 1963 International Travelall

The United States Forest Service has inadvertently created an interdependent bond between Forest Service Green and ruggedness. Let’s face it, on their own, light green and seafoam green don’t seem particularly woodsy, but when you see a four-by-four painted… more»

Fuel-Injected 1965 Ford Country Sedan

Ford, along with most of the industry, had an incredible year in 1965. With an all-new full-size Ford and the wildly popular Mustang, it had two bona fide hits on its hands. The squared off Ford was advertised for… more»

BF Exclusive: 1974 Bricklin SV-1

Anyone remember their local video store? As a young kid in the 1980s, my dad would regularly take me and my sister out to rent a VHS tape or two, and one of the many memorable car chase movies… more»

A Little Project: 1950 Crosley

Powel Crosley Jr. of Cincinnati, Ohio, was a busy man. He sold countless radios, owned the Cincinnati Reds, and most importantly, sold cars. He sold enough of them that I am never surprised to see one at a car… more»

Your Next Daily Driver? 1965 Rambler Classic 770

For years, American Motors published a comprehensive booklet comparing its products with the competition. It was called “X-Ray,” and various engineers, stylists, and executives introduced the new Ramblers with exhaustive comparative data that showed, more often that not, that… more»

33,800 Original Miles? 1938 Ford DeLuxe Coupe

OK, let’s get it out of the way: A lot of people don’t like the nose of the 1938 Ford DeLuxe. I, for one, think it looks fine, and if you are of my mind, join me in enjoying… more»

Buick-Powered 1969 Jeep Gladiator J3600

Someone on Kaiser-Jeep’s staff had a knack for product naming in the 1960s. This truck was called the “Gladiator,” the short-lived overhead-cam six was the “Tornado,” AMC’s 327 V8 was the “Vigilante,” and it was replaced by a “Dauntless”… more»

One-Owner 1969 Porsche 912

Since I began driving in 1993, I’ve been lucky enough to have at least one ’60s car in my garage or driveway, and since then, not a year has elapsed that I didn’t regularly use it/them for day trips…. more»

Original and Unrestored: 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302

One of America’s greatest racing legends, Rufus Parnell Jones (better known as Parnelli), passed away last year at the age of 90. Although he won the Indy 500 and the Baja 1000 (among many other races), the late, great… more»

Ready to Work: 1969 GMC 1500 Pickup

It’s hard to be dispassionate when buying an old car. The key to success is being willing to walk away, but the majority of us have found ourselves lying awake some Tuesday evening wondering why we didn’t spend a… more»

72k Miles: 1981 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau

The early 1980s was a soul-searching time in Detroit, the unchecked autonomy of their golden age having been interrupted by the Clean Air Act, Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards, and five-mile-per-hour bumpers. It’s possible that the perfect metaphor for… more»
