Survivor Cars

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

True Survivor: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1

This 1969 Mach 1 is claimed to be a true survivor car. Still wearing it’s original Lime Gold paint, black interior and even reproduction tires (at least I assume they are repros!), this Mustang was shipped to Virginia from… more»

Still In The Wrapper: 1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88

Sadly, this 1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88 comes onto the market as the result of an estate sale. It’s obviously been very cherished since purchase. Aftermarket clear plastic covers are still on the seats, and from the looks of things,… more»

In Showroom For 35 Years: 1965 Mustang GT

This Mustang is claimed to have sat inside a dealership for the past 35 years and has only covered 52k miles since new! They don’t mention if the paint and interior are original, but they do state that the… more»

Fabulous Riches? 1984 Cadillac Eldorado

I remember being struck by the silence the first time I rode in one of these later GM front-wheel-drive cars. It’s hard to believe now that these were downsized considerably from their predecessors when they were introduced in 1979…. more»

1978 Ford 600 Wrecker: Easy Life

When you think of a tow truck, you tend to envision a workhorse of a truck, one that’s tasked with the tough jobs other rigs would whimper at the sight of. Obviously, tow trucks are overbuilt to accommodate such… more»

1968 Chevelle: Low Mileage Survivor

This 1968 Chevelle is said to have only 51,000 documented miles. They don’t provide many details or any other pictures. This could be a great survivor if it’s anything like the seller wants us to believe. The owner does… more»

Weekend Driver Survivor: 1975 Alfetta

Earlier this month, I wrote about another one of these that I felt was a bargain. I’m feeling the draw again after looking this one over, but it’s too far away as well, although this time at least it’s… more»

Car Next Door: 1961 Chevrolet Bel Air

This true garage find is being sold by the next-door-neighbor to it for the last 20 years – he bought it from the late owner’s estate. It’s been sitting in the garage since 1974. The owner has loaded a… more»

1972 Corvette Survivor: Last Of The LT-1s

A classic car’s story is almost as important as it’s condition! Alright, maybe it isn’t that important, but it sure can make a car more interesting. This ’72 Corvette LT-1 has a lot going for it. For one, it’s… more»

Rotary Motorcycle: 1975 Hercules W-2000

This motorcycle falls into a category of vehicles I really like–let’s call them “enhanced survivors”–where the vast majority of the vehicle is clean and original, but the necessary maintenance and repairs have been done to put the machine into… more»

What An Ad! 1973 Capri Survivor

Thanks go to Barn Finds reader Herb for alerting us to this find! It’s rare that you find an early Mercury Capri that isn’t completely rusted away. This one does have some issues, especially on the driver’s side rear… more»

’80s Luxury Liner Trio: Low-Mileage Specimens

This may not be the world’s sexiest collection of barn finds, but this discovery by Barn Finds reader Robert R stands out for how unusual it is to find 3 ordinary, vanilla cars in preserved, showroom condition – all with the… more»

Ready To Rumble: 1931 Hudson Coupe

With one owner for about the last 40 years and having been stored in a barn for that period, this Hudson looks ripe for someone to enjoy. It can be found in Bandon, Oregon, and is listed for sale… more»

1969 Ford Torino Talladega Garage Find

From Jim O – Hi Guys. It’s Jim O. again with a local barn find. A friend recently told me about a guy that he knew for quite some time. Until recently he had no idea that he hoarded… more»

1982 BMW 320i: 26,328 Miles

Even as a BMW guy, I’m blown away by the bidding action on this 1982 BMW 32oi here on eBay. It’s already up to almost $15K with close to 2 days left on the auction! The reserve is long… more»

Elegant Survivor: 1968 Mercedes-Benz 250SE Coupe

This Mercedes is the nicest Mercedes survivor from the ’60s I have ever seen. It only has about 89,000 miles on it and it is a rare sunroof car. The woodwork and chrome are in amazing condition and the paint is original…. more»
