    Weekend Driver: 1968 Pontiac GTO

    There is nothing more satisfying than slipping behind the wheel of a classic car for a spot of relaxed weekend motoring. It provides the owner with some much-needed downtime as they escape the frantic world of weekdays. That is how the seller utilizes this 1968 Pontiac GTO, and their decision to part with it would allow you to do the same. It presents nicely, but there is scope to improve its appearance without breaking the bank. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting this GTO listed here on eBay in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It has received no bids in an auction that opened at $22,000, but there is a BIN option of $28,500 for those who feel that they must have this Pontiac. (more…)

    Solid Stalled Project: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1

  • Quirky Aussie: 1979 Leyland Moke Californian

    Quirky Aussie: 1979 Leyland Moke Californian

    During its Australian production run, the Leyland Moke was the country’s cheapest passenger car. However, affordability didn’t equate to strong sales, and natural attrition has seen many of these classics disappear from our roads. This 1979 Moke is the even rarer “Californian” variant, released to add spice to the model range. It presents nicely and is a turnkey proposition, perfect for enthusiasts craving something quirky to park in their garage. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Barney for spotting this wonder from Down Under listed here on Craigslist in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The seller set their price for this little gem at $17,500 OBO. (more…)

  • One-Owner Astroroof: 1982 Cadillac Eldorado

    One-Owner Astroroof: 1982 Cadillac Eldorado

    It is sometimes thought that luxury and affordability are mutually exclusive. However, that doesn’t always need to be the case if you assess this 1982 Cadillac Eldorado. It presents exceptionally well as a one-owner survivor, aided by an odometer reading of 55,000 miles. It features a desirable Astroroof option, and its interior is loaded with creature comforts. All of this could be yours for $14,890. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder T.J. for spotting the Caddy listed here on eBay in Canton, Georgia. The interest generated has been modest, and there is no indication whether the seller is prepared to negotiate on their asking price. (more…)

    79k Original Miles: 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Personal Luxury Cars proved to be big business during the 1960s as manufacturers sought to access a market segment created by the Ford Thunderbird.

Barn Finder Curvette possesses a finely tuned classic radar, and I must say a big thank you for spotting this Grand Prix listed here on eBay in Tallahassee, Florida.

    5k Original Miles: 1987 Chevrolet Mone Carlo SS

    If you missed the chance to own a 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS when they still graced showroom floors, fate may have provided you with a second chance. This Monte Carlo looks striking, and its immaculate condition is the result of having clocked only 5,000 miles since 1987. It has no apparent needs and is a turnkey proposition that the buyer can enjoy immediately. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting the SS listed here on eBay in Saint Louis, Missouri.

    Semi-Survivor: 1970 Plymouth GTX

    Semi-Survivor. Those aren’t my words, but the ones used by the seller to describe this 1970 Plymouth GTX. It seems that apart from the paint, it is as original as the day it left the factory.

  • 1987 Lincoln Mark VII With 9,252 Genuine Miles!

    1987 Lincoln Mark VII With 9,252 Genuine Miles!

    When a car has thirty-eight years under its belt, you would expect it to have clocked a decent number of miles. However, this 1987 Lincoln Mark VII breaks the mold because its odometer shows a genuine 9,252 miles. That equates to a mere 250 miles per year, which is barely enough to blow out the cobwebs. Its presentation is all you might expect, and its interior is loaded with creature comforts. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting the Lincoln listed here on eBay in Mundelein, Illinois. It could be yours for $27,900, but the seller will consider offers. (more…)

  • All Original Project: 1968 Ford Bronco

    All Original Project: 1968 Ford Bronco

    There is probably no better vehicle to demonstrate how buyer tastes have evolved over the past sixty years than the First Generation Bronco. Ford sold 16,629 Broncos in 1968 as buyers focused on sedans, station wagons, and two-door hardtops and coupes. Now, pickups, SUVs, and crossovers, that were once effectively niche models, dominate the market. This 1968 Bronco is claimed to be original and is begging for a new owner who can drag it back from the brink via a complete restoration. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting the Ford listed here on eBay in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The seller set their price at $12,500 OBO for this classic. (more…)

  • Upgraded 390: 1964 Mercury Marauder

    Upgraded 390: 1964 Mercury Marauder

    I tend to treat the modern automotive industry quite harshly. Vehicle styling has become more generic than at any time in motoring history, while car companies focus intensely on electronic technology for in-car entertainment and to prevent drivers from launching into the scenery at a great rate of knots. However, it is the model designation and its associated badges that make me grit my teeth. Where is the excitement that ignites passion deep in the hearts of enthusiasts? How hard is it to get excited by a badge that says “bZ4X?” Please give me a designation like Marauder any day! This 1964 Mercury Marauder is a perfect example of an art long lost by many manufacturers. The name promises excitement, and this classic will definitely deliver. It is a turnkey proposition that can satisfy most performance enthusiasts. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting the Marauder (I won’t get sick of that name!) listed here on eBay in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. The seller set their BIN at $28,000 OBO.

There is no reason it couldn’t relive its glory days, as it is a solid, complete project candidate. It will take more than a few weekends of tinkering in a home workshop to achieve that goal, but the GTO’s inherent desirability makes it worth considering. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Mitchell G. for spotting the Pontiac listed here on eBay in Conway, South Carolina. The seller set their price at $16,500 with the option to make an offer.
