Imagine uncovering a 1971 Mercedes 280 SL in a garage to find it only has 14,600 miles! Great surprise, right? What I don’t understand is why the seller is excited enough to ask a super high price for the… more»
Only Needs 2 Percent? 1972 Corvette
The seller describes this 1972 Corvette as “98% restored.” This reminds me of how my definition of rust differs from some sellers’ definitions. Submitted by Barn Finds reader Streamliner, this disassembled Corvette might be a project worth saving–or it… more»
Mom Wants The Garage Back! 1970 Dodge Challenger
Well, we don’t know a lot about this 1970 Dodge Challenger other than their Mom wants her garage back! The seller had it on eBay before and the sale fell through. They tell us that they’ve had it for… more»
1974 Lotus Elite: This One’s A Surprise!
The mid 1970s Lotus Elite has generally been an unloved classic, probably due both to Lotus legendary poor build quality (at the time) and its polarizing styling. Actually, it might not even be polarizing as I’ve never really heard… more»
1959 Plymouth Fury/Leichner Camper Combo
I’ve never seen a camper like this up close that wasn’t a homebuilt conversion, but apparently the Leichner Manufacturing Company of Champaign, Illinois made these conversions for normal sedans. This one happens to be mounted on a 1959 Plymouth… more»
The C3 I Want: 1973 Corvette
Right off the bat, if you’ve read Barn Finds for a while you know I think C3 Corvettes are a bargain. What you don’t know is that unlike most commenters (and I suspect staff members), I actually prefer the 1973… more»
Do You Feel The Need–The Need For Speed?
Top Gun fans, we have your vehicle! I have to thank Barn Finds reader Pat L. for giving me the laugh of my night by sending in this “Air Car” based on a jet airplane fuselage. The seller feels… more»
Winged Wonder: 1970 Superbird Hemi 4-Speed!
Hemi. Four speed. Superbird. Three sets of words that don’t appear together very often. To be exact, exactly 58 1970 Plymouth Superbirds were produced with this particular combination. I don’t know how many are left, but I’ll bet there… more»
Garage Find: 1967 Volvo 1800S
We don’t know a lot about this example of Volvo’s sports car apart from the fact that it was last driven in 1997. It’s showing 190,000 miles and might make someone an interesting project. It’s for sale here on eBay where… more»
Buy & Drive: 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix
Take a look at this solid Grand Prix. Although the seller has been told that there has been previous metal work done, it has that air of originality (not saying the work wasn’t done, just that it looks original). It’s… more»
1966 Ford Mustang – Is It Original?
Is it original, or is it not? (those of a certain generation will be thinking “is it live, or is it Memorex?”) This 1966 Mustang is being sold by its third owner and for the first time since 2005…. more»
Jade Jewelry: 1976 Ford Thunderbird
So pull that cover back and show this green beauty! By 1976, the Ford Thunderbird had gone from being a sporty personal luxury car to a monstrously large luxury coupe. It was still pretty cool, though, and 52,935 of… more»
It’s Fabulous! 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop
A consistently undervalued series of classics (in my opinion) is the 1961 to 1966 Ford Thunderbirds. This particular car was sent in by Barn Finds reader Pat L., who discovered it here on craigslist. As you can see from the ad, this fabulous Thunderbird is located in Aptos,… more»
Blue Beauty: 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa
According to the seller, 18 years ago this 1966 Corvair Corsa was prepared and painted and has spent most of the time since in a “showroom” with the same owner since 1978. After looking at the beautiful pictures where… more»
Ripe For Rescue: 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst Edition
Back in 1970, Detroit manufacturers were still willing to add some performance to their special edition cars as well as paint and tape striping. Naturally, when the co-branding involved Hurst, you knew that a shifter would be involved! This… more»
