This survivor is showing a claimed 39,000 original miles, and boy, does it look the part. In period Sunset Orchid and Classic White livery this 1957 Mercury Monterey could have left 1957 and jumped to 2016 with only a… more»
Survivor Cars
Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:
Grandpa’s 10K Commuter: 1984 Chevy Chevette
If your grandfather was anything like mine, he took care of his possessions and never took anything for granted – living through the Great Depression will do that to a man. Even his quite ordinary Toyota Camry was kept… more»
German Rolls-Royce: 1953 Mercedes 300 Adenauer
This Mercedes was the flagship model in 1953. It had a long wheelbase and a big inline-six out front making it a proper competitor in the luxury car market. This was basically a German Rolls-Royce and the more you… more»
1926 Ford Model T: Can You Drive It?
This Model T has been in storage since the 70s! The seller has done the work needed to get it running again and mentions that it “qualifies for preservation status”. It does look pretty good in the photos so… more»
Unusual V-Twin: 1960 Lilac LS-18 250
Thanks to Barn Finds fan, Jim S., for sending in the tip on this unusual motorcycle! This is a 1960 Lilac LS-18 250 and it’s on eBay in Emeryville, California for $2,800 or make an offer. This is an… more»
A Rare Bird: 1983 Trihawk 304
A Trihawk 304? You’re right, these are rare with less than 100 made. This 1983 Trihawk 304 is on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $12,500, but the current bid is only $590 with the reserve not met,… more»
Peacock In The Barn: 1956 Thunderbird
Ford’s big luxury cruiser known as the Thunderbird, or T-bird if you’d rather, was actually quite the looker when it hit showroom floors in 1955. It seems rather fitting that this ’56 wears a very eye catching and flashy… more»
Alpina Special: 1983 BMW C1 2.3
Have you been looking for a sporty and fun BMW to hit the roads in this summer, but want something more unique and interesting than an M3? Take a look at this beautiful Alpina built C1 2.3! It is… more»
1,202 Original Miles: 1985 Chevy Cavalier Wagon
I thought we may have already witnessed the lowest-mileage Chevy Cavalier wagon in existence right here on this very website a few months ago, but apparently an even lower mileage example is on the market in North Carolina. Featured here on… more»
Lotto Winnings: 1988 Ford Mustang Saleen
It may seem like I’ve got a thing for Mustangs based on some of the recent posts, but the frequency more has to do with some pretty unique examples popping up for sale. Here’s a little-used 1988 Mustang Saleen here… more»
Star Power: 1968 Dodge Polara 500
This nice-looking, original 1968 Dodge Polara 500 is on eBay in Lowell, Michigan with a current bid price of $1,850.01. Which one of you put in that $0.01 bid?! (kidding)
Time Capsule: 1974 Dodge Dart
I don’t much care for these mid-seventies Dodge Darts (though I have always liked the earlier two door versions, especially the more muscular GTS model.)
1 of 17: 1981 Porsche 924 GTR
When we think of valuable or rare Porsches, it’s almost inevitable to gravitate towards an early Speedester or turbocharged 911. The 924 and 944 cars rarely enter that same plateau of desirability and success, but a few exceptions exist… more»
Unbelievably Original: 1960 Edsel Ranger
There’s a great story that goes along with this 1960 Edsel Ranger that is currently located in Redding, California. The current owner bought it from the original owner, who was the Parts Department Manager for the Redding Edsel dealer…. more»
Bonn Bimmer: 1964 BMW 700 Luxus LS
This little game-changer is in Königswinter, Germany, about 20 minutes southeast of Bonn. This 1964 BMW 700 Luxus LS is on eBay with a price of €9,900 ($11,289) and it looks to be mostly original. It originally came from Belgium… more»
Cargo Hungry: 1963 Dodge D500 Car Hauler
If you’re like me and enjoy watching the show Roadkill on YouTube (and if you haven’t yet, you’re missing out), you’ve witnessed the awesomeness that is a good work truck. You see, the co-hosts go around the country seeking out new… more»
