While Ford’s Thunderbird, notably the Baby Bird (’55-’57) and those from the mid-sixties, grace Barn Finds web pages with regularity, the the eleventh generation (’02-’05) is seldom seen. As a matter of fact, I could only find one example… more»

Put An LS In It? 1969 Buick Gran Sport
Here’s an interesting one. It’s a 1969 Buick GS 350 – sans the 350. It’s being sold without its prime mover so the next owner can trip the light fantastic when it comes to repowering this steed. I have… more»

1973 Cadillac Brougham With Only 18K Miles
So, this 1973 Cadillac is a Brougham edition which is pronounced something like “brome” and not “bro-gun” or “bro-ham”. Regardless, it’s a biggie and qualifies for the “Whammer-jammer” designation – more on that to follow. The seller claims only… more»

Cheap Club Coupe: 1960 Ford Galaxie
I chose this rather forlorn-looking 1960 Ford Galaxie Club Coupe because I didn’t know such a model existed. I wrongly assumed that a Club Coupe, which is a two-door sedan, would be the provenance of the Fairlane 500 or… more»

Only 27K Miles! 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS
One of America’s all-time market share heavy-weights was Chevrolet’s Impala. It rained supreme in the sixties and throughout most of the seventies. The ’77 B-body downsizing, however, saw the more upscale Caprice take the catbird seat and the Impala… more»

Rare A/C Equipped: 1956 Lincoln Premiere
When you get it, flaunt it, right? That’s certainly the case with this 1956 Lincoln Premiere—what a visual statement! It’s everything, really—the colors, the condition, and, of course, that so-kool fifties styling. With a boast of “nothing has been… more»

Tri-Power Droptop! 1966 Pontiac GTO
Years ago, I worked for this eccentric but brilliant man, who once had been an executive at Ford Motor Company. He later drifted into the railroad industry which is where I made his acquaintance. He had this saying that… more»

Out Of The Barn! 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454
I think it’s a toss-up as to what gets more coverage here, first-gen Mustangs or 1970 Chevrolet Chevelles. Regardless of coverage, when one builds a better mousetrap, one usually wants to promote it by all available means. However, that… more»

Luck O’ The Irish: 1985 Ford Mustang SSP
As you can imagine, we cover Fox Body Ford Mustangs all the time here on BF. Some, such as this 1985 example, are Special Service Package (SSP) police interceptors. None, to the best of my knowledge however, have ever… more»

Worth Saving? 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
What we have here is a genuine 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 (per the VIN), but unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to have done much swinging lately. Modified for drag racing, this Dart has been echoing the sounds of silence… more»

Cheap Project: 1961 Ford Ranchero
Ford scored a pair of firsts with its Ranchero. The first “first” is obvious: They came to market two years ahead of their arch nemesis, Chevrolet, and its El Camino. Their second first was their decision, starting in the… more»

Matching Numbers? 1970 Buick GS 455
I have often opined on the success and popularity of GM’s A-body cars from ’68 to ’72. While the current marketplace prices for the performance versions (SS396, GTO, 442, and GS) are stratospheric, even the bread-and-butter models (Malibu, LeMans,… more»

Great Restoration Project: 1970 Ford Bronco V8
And now for something from the “I don’t get it department.” As I’m sure most know, Ford revived its iconic Bronco in 2021 – it’s another example of a modern take on a classic. They seem to sell well… more»

Beautiful In Blue: 1968 Dodge Dart GTS
I’ve had a “thing” for this vintage Dodge Dart for a long time. The fact that it’s a convertible just adds to its allure. This one’s a top-drawer 1968 GTS performance model and boy oh boy, it sure looks… more»

Fastback Project: 1968 Ford Mustang GT
It’s amazing what a feature run on the silver screen can do for a car. Pontiac felt the full effect of that action back in ’77 with Smokey and the Bear Bandit- after release, those black Trans Ams started… more»

The Ultimate Throwback? 1967 Chevrolet Camaro
Oh boy, this is an unusual one. Let’s face it, we’ve covered innumerable 1967 Chevrolet Camaros so it might be logical to suggest, “Why cover another?” Well, as Camaros go, the first gen ’67-’69, is my favorite, no doubt… more»
