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

1966 Ferrari 330GT: Dusty Garage Find

I can’t even begin to imagine what it would feel like to find a dust covered Ferrari parked in a garage or barn. Growing up in Wyoming, spotting high end muscle cars was pretty commonplace, but exotic cars were… more»

1954 Eshelman Child Sport Car

Eshelman made two types of “Sport Cars” (no “s”) in the mid 1950’s, one intended for children and one at least theoretically for adults. This child’s model was intended to be able to transport two kids of indeterminate age… more»

1949 Pontiac Streamliner: Fastback Classic

Sometime in the sixties I found a dark green car just like this 1949 Pontiac in a barn on a friend’s farm where it had been sitting for years. His parents told the typical story: it was grandpa’s car and… more»

1967 Renault Caravelle: 8k Mile Survivor

I’m a sucker for drop top European sports cars and low mileage survivors. Put the two together and you have the perfect combination, well at least in my book. In all honesty, this Renault Caravelle wouldn’t be my first… more»

1969 Corvette Stingray: A Friend Of A Friend

From Chase V – A friend of mine sells old car parts for a living. I asked him that if he ever came across anything cool that he was not interested in if he would let me know.  I… more»

One Family: 1965 Dodge Coronet Wagon

This big 1965 wagon was owned by one family prior to the current seller. It’s located in Levittown, Pennsylvania and is for sale here on eBay where the opening bid is $3,000, although there is a reserve. I love these big… more»

Gotta Go: 1966 Chevrolet Impala

I find myself wanting to know more of the history behind this 1966 Impala that’s offered for sale here on eBay. No reserve bidding has been brisk, and is already over $5,000. The car is located in Porter, Texas and… more»

1973 Pontiac Grand Prix: Dusty Poncho

One score and five years ago ( or just 25), this Pontiac Grand Prix went into storage. It had supposedly been pampered all of it’s life, up until that point. From that day forward, it was left to survive… more»

1973 Ford Country Squire: Big Block Wagon

I was a bit surprised by the current bidding on this Country Squire wagon when I first saw it, but then I started looking at the specs and I realized why it’s already bid up over $12k. You see… more»

Elvis, Dean, And You? 1972 Stutz Blackhawk

Another great find from Robert R, this 1972 Stutz Blackhawk was originally owned by Elvis Presley, who sold it to Dean Martin. I can see this being an Elvis type of car! The Stutz is in Osage Beach, Missouri and… more»

1977 Plymouth Volare: 19,000 Miles

It’s not as hard as you might think to step back in time, especially with this woody-style ’77 Plymouth Volare wagon here on eBay with under 20,000 original miles. In our second Florida find of the day, this Volare sports working… more»

Dovetail: 1960 Simca Aronde

I had to look up what “Aronde” meant in French; it’s “dovetail,” very fitting for a car company whose symbol was a bird in flight. This stylish little coupe is located in Auburn Hills, Michigan and is for sale… more»

Beautiful Blue: 1978 Ford Thunderbird

My Dad had a 1976 Ford Elite, one of the predecessors of this Thunderbird, and I still remember how quiet it was and how it floated down the road. This one looks particularly classy to me in this Diamond Blue… more»

1962 GMC Suburban: Memory Maker

There are some vehicles that simply emit good vibrations. Whether it’s because they have a great story or played a pivotal role in creating fun memories, these classics are destined to become part of the family. This 1962 GMC… more»

Pumpkin Orange: 1974 Hornet Sportabout

I grew up with an orange 1971 Sportabout that was even plainer than this one. Dad did eventually take it to the local garage and have aftermarket air conditioning installed, but the AM radio never even got an FM… more»

Survivor Coupe: 1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency

This is one huge car! 232.2 inches long, to be exact, and weighing close to 5,000 pounds! 1976 was the last year for this generation of the Olds 98, and it went out in style. This monster is located… more»
