Survivor Cars

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

7k Mile Survivor: 1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400

Over the past few years, we’ve seen the values for ’70s Pontiac Firebirds go way up. So, when a ’71 Firebird Formula 400 survivor popped up on the BF Classifieds, I knew we needed to take a closer look!… more»

2,000 Miles From New: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am

This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary edition has a mere 2,014 miles on the clock since new. The body, interior and engine bay remain in mint condition, although it is not the desirable and rare 400 mill. While… more»

Italian Harley: 1967 Harley-Davidson SS 250 Sprint

Like all eight of my two-wheelers, this 1967 Harley-Davidson SS 250 Sprint probably wouldn’t be too popular at the Sturgis Rally – although being a Harley, at least by badge, it surely would be more welcome than any of… more»

Gold Package Survivor: 1992 Cadillac DeVille

The 1992 Cadillac DeVille is often forgotten about as many of these flagship sedans languish on corner used car lots nationwide. But when they were new, the feature list was quite extensive and many luxuries we now take for… more»

Packard V8: 1955 Nash Ambassador Custom

Trying to choose between cars is sometimes like trying to choose a favorite child, it’s almost impossible to do. This 1955 Nash Ambassador Custom is one of those cars for me. This big, black boulevard cruiser is listed on… more»

Rare Shadow: 1989 Shelby CSX

Between 1987 and 1989, Shelby Automobiles offered a limited run of hopped-up Dodge Shadows called the Shelby CSX.  This example, number 38 of 500 produced that year and described as a barn find by the seller, is available here… more»

1987 Buick Grand National With Only 49 Miles!

Did you want to own a Buick Grand National back when they first came out, but missed the opportunity? Well, here’s your second chance to own a brand new 1987 Buick Grand National! This has to be one of… more»

Turbo Diesel 4×4: 1995 Chevrolet Suburban K2500

This one is a bit new for us here at Barn Finds and it wasn’t found in a barn, but it’s barn-friendly for those of you with a farm or other tough work to do. This is a 1995 Chevrolet… more»

Three Quarter Ton Survivor: 1955 Ford F250

I always think barn finds are more interesting when the seller is responsible for having stowed the car away rather than someone who bought the car recently to flip.  The seller of this 1955 Ford F250 not only stored… more»

Nicest One Left: 1980 Bradley GT

Without fail, most of the Bradley GTs we feature are shadows of their former selves, completely past the point of reasonable return. It’s rare we get to see what one would have looked like when new, assembled by someone… more»

$4,200 Project: 1929 Ford Model A Coupe

I have actually been to Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada where this 1929 Ford Model A Coupe is located. It was quite a drive, especially in a car with over 250,000 miles on it at the time. It’s beautiful country… more»

Retired Forest Ranger: 1974 Jeep CJ6

Here’s a Jeep you don’t see often: the long wheelbase CJ6, in extremely nice condition following years of duty in the U.S. Forest Service. It strikes me as an intriguing alternative to a Toyota Landcruiser hardtop of the same… more»

Success Story: A Tale of Three 1978 Thunderbirds

Shortly after featuring a low mileage 1979 Ford Thunderbird, you can see Scotty’s post here, reader BillO posted a photo in the comments section of a 1978 Thunderbird that he just so happened to find here on Barn Finds…. more»

BF EXCLUSIVE: 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2

Those of you who are into racing most likely already know about the rare 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. This example is located in Delaware, Ohio and it’s being listed as a Barn Finds Exclusive by Chris K. who… more»

One-Wheel-Drive: 1971 Rokon RT-140

Here’s an unusual one, at least in the Rokon world. This 1971 Rokon RT-140 is listed on eBay with bids of just over $200 but the reserve isn’t met. It’s located in Sussex, New Jersey and you can fly in… more»

King Of Cool: 1958 Dodge Sweptside

Chevy had the stylized pickup market cornered with their Cameo pickup and the Dodge boys wanted in on that market, even though it was a relatively tiny one. This 1958 Dodge Sweptside is the result of their experiment. This… more»
