Survivor Cars

Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:

1968 Jeep Gladiator J2000 4×4 350 V8 Manual

Before you get out the torches and pitchforks concerning the “350 V8”, thinking it’s just another restomod with a Chevy 350 in it, Jeep really did offer a factory 350-cu.in. V8 in the form of a Buick-sourced Dauntless 350… more»

No Reserve: 1966 Chrysler 300 Hardtop

As a staff member of Barn Finds, my position could have come with a disclaimer: “The tips list can be hazardous to your wealth.” Make no bones about it; this ’66 Chrysler 300 hardtop is exactly the sort of car… more»

73k-Mile Diesel Garage Find: 1983 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency

We’ve already featured a couple of nicely preserved tenth-generation Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight coupes on Barn Finds earlier this month, so let’s add another low-mileage survivor to the mix, but this time one that’s diesel-powered.  The seller describes this car as… more»

1969 Hasbro Programmable Amaze-A-Matics!

In case you haven’t noticed, automobilia has become incredibly popular over the last few years as vintage vehicle prices have gone bonkers and left a lot of us out of the game. This double set of Amaze-A-Matics cars is… more»

Farm Truck: 1977 Dodge D200 Custom 400 V8

Patina and regular use as a farm, or ranch, truck have turned this 1977 Dodge D200 Custom into a great-looking, honest survivor. Built in Warren, Michigan and now located in one of the greatest cities in America, Cincinnati, Ohio,… more»

Luxury and Muscle: 1963 Apollo 3500GT

One of the more intriguing sports cars created in the 1960s is the Apollo GT, a limited production model offered with Italian styling and domestic horsepower. There was a time when I would venture to say this striking two-door… more»

Mustang Alternative? 1969 Ford Falcon Futura

The Ford Falcon was perhaps the most successful compact car of the 1960s. The company sold nearly half a million of them in 1961 alone, the model’s best performance year. But the arrival of the sporty Mustang in 1965… more»

Tucson Survivor: 1982 Dodge Rampage 4-Speed

I love this opening photo, it makes this Dodge Rampage look like a real, roll-up-your-sleeves work truck, albeit a very small one. This 1982 Dodge Rampage is listed here on Facebook Marketplace in one of my favorite cities on… more»

All Original Three-Row Wagon: 1970 Ford Country Squire

While Harry And The Hendersons may not have risen to the same popularity level as the other ’80s movie that prominently features a Ford station wagon, it does have a devoted fanbase, and the Country Squire is memorable as… more»

40k Original Miles: 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car

Although manufacturers focused on smaller and more efficient models during the 1970s, it was still possible to buy what is often referred to as a Land Yacht at the end of the decade. This 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car… more»

Pristine Fox Body: 1986 Ford Mustang GT

Clean, stock examples of vintage and classic cars stand out for a few reasons: for one thing, “clean” is a somewhat abstract quality, and not entirely tied to whether the cabin has been vacuumed. If a car is clean,… more»

11k Mile: 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix

There are 2 days remaining in the auction for this 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix. The car is listed for sale here on eBay and after 13 bids the auction has reached $16,000. That is pretty good for the seller… more»

Rare Big-Block: 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 454

Performance and comfort. There are times in the classic world where these two characteristics seem mutually exclusive. However, this 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 454 brings them together perfectly, wrapped in a package that is guaranteed to turn more… more»

All Original: 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

There is much to be said for buying a classic that isn’t pristine. The new owner can enjoy their purchase, safe in the knowledge that an errant stone won’t mar perfection as they revel in motoring pleasure. That makes… more»

1985 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 2-Door Sedan

Either Medium Canyon Red or Midnight Canyon Red, this 1985 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 2-Door Sedan is striking in white over red over red. It’s a little dirty and would have been nice to see at least washed, if… more»

Normal Car For Normal People: 1980 Dodge Aspen

A Natural Suede Tan sedan with a tin tip and black wall tires automatically looks like a law enforcement vehicle to me. The full wheel covers are a bit fancy for that, though, and this 1980 Dodge Aspen, as… more»
