Well, this is probably the 4,317th 1957 Chevrolet that we’ve covered here on BF, and one may ask, “Why another?” Good question! My reason for reviewing this 69-year-old resident of Lexington, Kentucky, is its beautiful and super-clean condition. It… more»

Put An LS In It? 1967 Ford Country Squire
While we cover 1967 Fords rather often, that year’s Country Squire, however, doesn’t make the cut very often. Today, for your review, I have just such a rig that at first glance looks pretty fair. But as I read… more»

Survivor Cat: 1973 Mercury Cougar Convertible
I clearly remember the first time I saw a new for ’67 Mercury Cougar – and I thought it was fabulous! I hadn’t been much of a Mustang fan, though it wasn’t long before I came to realize that… more»

Flaky Frame? 1963 Pontiac Catalina
I’ve had this contention that, as the price of intermediate-sized muscle cars has reached stratospheric levels, a rising tide would benefit full-sizers such as this 1963 Pontiac Catalina accordingly. You know, a GM B-body car like a Catalina or… more»

Hubba Hubba V8! 1980 MG MGB
We’re all familiar with MG’s very popular Model B (’62-’80) roadster; over half a million, in all of its variations, were produced during its nineteen model-year run. One of the erstwhile two-seaters’ drawbacks was its 1.8-liter four-cylinder prime mover… more»

Standout Styling! 1968 Chrysler Newport
It’s not my intention to keep ragging on the Chrysler brand, but I can’t help it. Look at this spectacularly styled 1968 Newport hardtop with its dashing reverse C-pillar and compare it to the dreck the brand builds today… more»

No Fake Patina: 1965 Chevrolet Bel Air Long-Roof
Usually, when the subject of old Chevrolet station wagons arises, it’s the Impala that gets the coverage. Prior to the late fifties, the range-topping Bel Air got all the glory, but by 1965, a Chevy Bel Air was aimed… more»

Rare And Reasonable: 1969 Ford Torino GT Convertible
I contend that any ’68-’71 Ford Torino convertible, such as this beautiful ’69 GT edition, is worth coverage when you consider their scarcity. It’s odd, as it was the same scenario with Plymouth’s Satellite and Dodge’s Cornet from this… more»

Next Big Thing? 1981 Chevrolet K5 Blazer
I have a thought that Chevrolet’s K5 two-door Blazer, such as this 1981 example, could become the next “big” thing in terms of collectibility. It’s similar to the Chevy Square Body pickup (’73-’87), from which it’s derived, and a… more»

Too Many Doors? 1960 Ford Galaxie Victoria
“Ford builds the most beautifully proportioned cars,” so opines their 1960 sales brochure. A subjective claim at best, though I’d say this 1960 Galaxie Town Victoria has pleasing lines. The Victoria part of it relates to its open hardtop… more»

Nicest One Left? 45k Mile 1998 Buick Century
So, a 1998 Buick Century? Seems like an unusual car to feature here on the esteemed webpages of Barn Finds. Yeah, it’s not really interesting; some may even find it boring. But Buick did well with this somewhat nondescript… more»

Award Winning Rarity: 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire
Whoa, what do we have here? A turbocharged 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire, and it’s a pretty rare bird. I looked into the BF archives and found only one that has been reviewed in the last seven years, and I can’t… more»

Round Two: 1985 Buick Riviera Turbo Convertible
About a week ago, I reviewed this 1985 Buick Riviera. It was a standard, generic coupe edition, but notable for its extremely low mileage and excellent condition. Today, courtesy of Jack M., I have a second ’85 Riviera to… more»

Bedliner Roof? 1968 Cadillac Sedan DeVille
The seller of this 1968 Cadillac Sedan DeVille divides his listing into “Pro” and “Con” categories – an effective way to get to the bottom of an old car’s condition – and hopefully, the pros will outweigh the cons…. more»

Triple Deuce Survivor Class: 1964 Pontiac GTO
I purposefully avoid covering muscle cars! Why, you ask? Most are ridiculously overpriced, or have had absurd restorations in which the width, texture, and hue of assembly-line chalk marks seem to be job one. At the opposite end of… more»

TNT Powered! 1970 Chrysler 300 Convertible
Who says green and red don’t go together? They certainly do at Christmas time. Yeah, but on a car? Well, maybe not, as the contrast between the primary and non-primary color certainly stands out in the case of this… more»
