Bargain Of The Year? 1966 Imperial LeBaron

I know that 2023 just started, but this may still be the best deal of the year on December 31st. The second-generation Imperial was made for a decade, or actually from 1956 for the 1957 model year, until the… more»

Running Project: 1969 Dodge Charger SE

This 1969 Dodge Charger SE is still in the project stage, but quite a bit of work has already been performed, so if you’ve been in the market for a late-sixties B-Body to work on that’s had a good… more»

Canadian Six-Banger: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

Before 1970, Chevrolet called its entry-level Chevelle the 300 Deluxe. After that, it was simply “Chevelle.” The car was a low-frills version of the highly popular Malibu, and you could even get one as a pillarless 2-door Sport Coupe…. more»

Treehouse Project? Wrecked Airplane Find

455 V8 Transplant: 1967 Pontiac Firebird

Until 1967, Ford’s Mustang had the pony car market all to itself. Well, almost, as the Plymouth Barracuda debuted 17 days earlier in 1964, but quickly got lost in the Mustang’s dust. General Motors landed a 1-2 punch by… more»

Barn Cave-In: Alfa Romeo Spider Project

Should all vintage cars be saved if their bodywork and engines are intact? That’s a subjective question for sure, but when we see a vehicle that doesn’t typically have high values but is also seemingly not past the point… more»

V8 Panel Delivery! 1971 Chevrolet Vega

The Vega was Chevy’s first U.S.-made subcompact. And it got a bad rap due to its poorly executed 4-cylinder engine. Some of the Vega’s still around show up with a V8 transplanted under the hood. But in the case… more»

No Reserve: 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

Finding a classic Pickup that is an ideal candidate for a project build can be challenging, especially one that is affordable. With values climbing, even the roughest examples can often command surprising prices. Occasionally, Pickups like this 1951 Chevrolet… more»

Race, Refurbish, or Restore? 1970 Chevrolet Corvette

Nothing says “Super Seventies” like a C3 (third-generation Corvette) with flared fenders. This rough black roller has barely been touched since its purported days as a New York City street racer. Now located in Somerset, Kentucky, the 1970 Chevrolet… more»

Project Car Bonanza: Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche Collection

For a German car nerd like me, listings like these make me suddenly forget all of my other financial obligations and begin looking for cheap transporters heading northbound. I need another project car like I need multiple root canals,… more»

Lifted Long Roof: 1980 Chevrolet Impala Wagon

This is a Chevrolet Blazer Estate Wagon. Or, maybe it’s a Chevy Caprice 4×4. Well, it’s somewhere in between, and there has likely never been another one made like it since the night a few buddies got together with… more»

California Barn Find: 1956 Cadillac Coupe de Ville

There once was a 1956 Cadillac Coupe de Ville that sat in a large building near Petaluma, California. It was surrounded by other classic cars and parts. It has now been pulled out and can be found for sale… more»

Never Assembled: Brand New Bradley GT Kit

Affordable: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am

We have covered several 1979 Trans Ams over the years here on Barn Finds and watched their prices increase almost every year. While 1979 was the highest production year for the Trans Am at over 117,000 units, their popularity… more»

2-Door Hardtop: 1968 AMC Ambassador 990

The sixth-generation Ambassador was totally restyled from the previous somewhat-stodgy designs. The fifth-gen cars are my personal favorites, but I’m somewhat stodgy, too. The new cars were only two inches longer, but they looked much more modern. The seller… more»

Worthwhile Project? 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

It seems as though back in 2020 this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro made a long trailer journey from North to South, as that’s how long ago the seller purchased it and the F-Body still has a Michigan title.  It’s now… more»
