Twin-Stick Action Survivor: 1965 Rambler Marlin
This Rambler (AMC) Marlin survivor has had three owners from new. The largely original paint has been wet sanded to shine again, and the unusual set of options and documentation from new make this a standout among Marlins. It’s… more»

One Owner Garage Find: 1968 AMC AMX
Just yesterday, Jamie featured a 1969 AMX project with the 390 that looks to be a nice solid start. At $9k, it isn’t cheap though. That one might seem like a decent project, but I think I found one… more»

One Owner: 1987 Honda CRX Si
These early Honda CRXs are still immensely appealing to me, especially as I am increasingly drawn to the simplicity of older cars. This particular example is incredibly well-kept, and is said to have had just one original owner before… more»

Estate Find: 10,000 Mile Crown Victoria
An estate sale find like this 1985 Ford Crown Victoria here on eBay is among my car-related bucket list items. Not specifically a Crown Vic – you all know me too well for that – but something German that was… more»

X-Tra Weird: Subaru XT and XT6 Survivors
Barn Finds reader Jim S. spotted one of my favorite oddballs of the 80s: a 1989 Subaru XT here on craigslist. This one is a survivor with only 50,000 original miles and free from the chronic rust problems that plagued these… more»

The World’s Most Affordable Maserati!
It may look like a dolled up Chrysler LeBaron, but the Chrysler TC by Maserati was much more than that. The platform came from the Dodge Daytona, not the LeBaron, and the cars were actually assembled in Italy. This… more»

Feeling Like Royalty? 1973 Buick Century Regal
This classy looking Buick Century Regal (they were called Century Regal until 1975) seems to be a reasonably-priced but loved classic. Sure, there are Buicks that are worth more, and probably most of you would find an earlier car… more»

Diplomat Driven: 1984 Volvo 240 Diesel
This 1984 Volvo 240 here on eBay may look like just a nice survivor-grade example of a fairly common car. But this particular 240 is a special-order model, equipped with a diesel engine and supposedly purchased through Volvo’s Diplomat… more»

Diesel Mitsu: 1984 Dodge D-50
The original Mitsubishi Mighty Max / Dodge D-50 twins were among my favorite 4WD pickups in the 1980s and still a truck I’d like to own today. Why? Because they represented an era where you could buy a 4WD truck… more»

All In The Family: 1947 Packard Clipper Deluxe
I was really excited to find this beautiful old Packard for sale on here on craigslist in Tucson. Even though there are very few pictures – none of the interior, in fact – for some reason, it has a… more»

One Owner With 4,549 Miles: 1977 Corvette
Seventy seven may may have been on of the worst years for the Corvette. The good looks were there, but the power was seriously down. Still, how would you like to have a virtually brand new one today? Well,… more»

Spokers And Flares: 1981 Jeep Cherokee Laredo
Most folks are more familiar with the four-door version of this vehicle; the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The Cherokee was considered sportier, and this upscale Laredo model certainly looks the part. It’s currently located in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania and… more»

Saved By Fire: 1971 Ford F-250 Brush Truck
With the rash of municipal vehicles that have appeared on eBay as of late, a bit of irony began to set in: being designated as a vehicle equipped to fight fires and go where no other truck dares to… more»

9,000 Original Miles: 1970 Alfa Romeo Berlina
My fascination with this low-mileage 1970 Alfa Romeo Berlina 1750 here on eBay has less to do with the car and more to do with the seller: their business is to scour the Italian countryside for barn-find vehicles locked away… more»

Hip To Be Square: 1955 Plymouth Belvedere
Here on Barn Finds these old shoebox-era Mopar sedans get the respect they deserve, and that’s why it’s a pleasure to feature this one. A few weeks ago, we had a spate of Cranbrooks, Coronets and others from… more»
