34K Miles? 1990 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Wagon

Showing 34,460 miles, the seller believes that number is at least somewhat accurate. Although they go on to say that “whoever was entering the perplexingly inconsistent Carfax odometer readings seems to have suffered a bit of sunstroke.” Whatever the… more»

33k Miles: 1989 Buick Skylark Custom Sedan

Buick’s full-line brochure for 1989 calls the Skylark their “little limousine.” I’ll let you take a second for that to sink in. Setting aside the marketing hyperbole, this Skylark Custom Sedan is the kind of car that’s exciting because… more»

Elderly Owned: 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo

UPDATE – This 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo is listed for sale again, just four months after the listing disappeared. It’s located in Island Park, New York, and there is no reserve on the eBay auction listed here. The seller… more»

Patina Project: 1972 Dodge Coronet Custom

Very much a project, this longroof has lots of surface rust (patina?) on that long roof, along with some body rust on the lower body panels. Just for the fun of it, it also needs mechanical work. This 1972… more»

59k Mile Survivor: 1973 Dodge Charger

One of the Mopar models frequently featured here on Barn Finds is the Dodge Charger, as its desirability remains strong and demand in the marketplace never seems to lessen.  Much of the interest is often centered around the performance-oriented… more»

1-of-816: 1969 Ford Ranchero Rio Grande

Vehicle manufacturers occasionally produce what I call well-kept secrets. These are vehicles that don’t sell in significant numbers because the company doesn’t promote them heavily. The 1969 Ford Ranchero Rio Grande is a perfect example, as it barely rated… more»

Rotisserie Build: 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix Model SJ

We always welcome our readers’ input at Barn Finds because, without you, the site wouldn’t exist. Whether it is through leads or by correcting the times when I make monumental mistakes, you help us grow into better writers with… more»

Low Mileage Targa: 1987 Jaguar XJ-SC V12

The complexity of a convertible top has been known to discourage some folks from pursuing a drop-top in their garage. I don’t mind the complexity, but after replacing failed motors that caused a top to go down and not… more»

Future Collectible? 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C

These days, the number of new cars sold by manufacturers that truly ticks the heart strings of enthusiasts is increasingly small. Yes, I know, the Corvette exists as does the Camaro, but those are pure muscle cars – and… more»

390hp! 1969 Chevrolet Impala SS 427 Convertible

Many enthusiasts remember the 1960s as the era of the horsepower war. Manufacturers appealed to the hearts of buyers with performance leanings by bolting potent motors under the hoods of their latest offerings. This 1969 Chevrolet Impala SS 427… more»

Leather Trim? 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible

This 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible presents beautifully, and the seller is confident enough to describe its condition as “mint.” That’s a bold call, but the car’s overall condition makes it plausible. However, one of the most intriguing aspects of… more»

Only Two Owners: 1973 Plymouth Scamp

Plymouth and Dodge both launched versions of each other’s compact cars in 1971. Dodge unveiled the Demon, which was a Duster with a Dart front clip. And Plymouth got the Scamp, which was a Dart Swinger with Valiant front… more»

41k-Mile Survivor: 1984 Hurst/Olds

The Hurst/Olds was a performance/trim package on the Oldsmobile Cutlass. Through a partnership with Hurst Corp., the Hurst/Olds was offered sporadically between 1968 and 1984. The last iteration was in 1983/84 based on the Cutlass Supreme. These cars were… more»

California Estate Find: 1960 Ford Falcon Sedan

As if the Joshua Tree, California area wasn’t beautiful enough, this 1960 Ford Falcon lives there, adding to the beauty. I don’t know if I’ve seen a silver one before, especially one with wide white wall tires and full… more»

Big and Bold: 1971 Ford Galaxie 429

I’ve been loving cars a long time, but I’ve never seen anything like this 1971 Ford Galaxie, which you should check out here on ebay. It’s something between spaceship and land yacht, but not in the “so big you… more»
