The 1953 Mercury Monterey Woody Wagon was the first wood-paneled station wagon Mercury produced, making it relatively collectible. The cars have a totally beachy vibe, and the way this example was styled exaggerates that. It’s easy to imagine this… more»

53K-Mile 1984 Dodge Ramcharger Prospector 4×4
Dodge reportedly used 438 square feet of “galvanized steel” (that really makes it sound tough!) in the 1984 Dodge Ramcharger, more than in the full-sized Ford Bronco or full-sized Chevrolet Blazer. They gave buyers a five-year or 100,000-mile rust-through… more»

French Movie Car? 1985 Renault Fuego
As most of us have either read in the comments on vintage vehicle websites or maybe we’ve written it ourselves, “Just because something is rare, that doesn’t make it valuable.” That could be said about the Renault Fuego. Although,… more»

31K Mile Christmas Miracle? 1974 Dodge Challenger R/T
As we roll into the end of December, we are constantly reminded that Santa Claus will soon be here. While we wait for the arrival of Kris Kringle and his sleigh pulled by nine reindeer (Rudolph included), it is… more»

Last Gasp: 1991 Trabant 1.1 Limousine
By 1991, the Cold War was, for all intents and purposes, over, at least compared to the previous four decades of hiding under your school desks. Not to mention the Berlin Wall had recently been dismantled and people were… more»

1976 Chevrolet C20 Custom Deluxe Crew Cab
Four-door pickups are as common today as silver SUVs, but a few decades ago, they were generally used as work trucks for crews of railroad workers or similar jobs. Given an original crew cab truck from the 70s or… more»

One Owner Garage Find: 1965 Chevrolet Nova
The Chevy II/Nova wasn’t Chevrolet’s first compact car. That came in the form of the somewhat unorthodox Corvair in 1960. Thinking they needed a product with a more conventional layout (water-cooled front engine), Chevrolet gave birth to the Chevy… more»

40K-Mile Econobox Gem: 1980 Chevrolet Chevette
We’ve seen nine 1980 Chevrolet Chevettes here on Barn Finds over the years, and I must really like them as I wrote up eight of them, with the other one being written by Russ Dixon. I’m an unapologetic lover… more»

5.0-Liter/5-Speed: 1991 Ford Mustang LX
I sometimes feel that I would like to talk to the original owner to gain insight into why they ordered their classic in its particular form. Such is the case with this 1991 Ford Mustang LX. The first owner… more»

Original Paint: 1983 AMC Eagle Limited Wagon
I have long admired AMC because it was a genuine battler. The company produced a range of interesting and innovative vehicles on a budget that was, to be kind, extremely tight. This 1983 Eagle Limited Wagon is a perfect… more»

1966 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon 396 V8
Literally a fancy Impala, the Chevy Caprice snuck onto the market halfway through 1965 as a higher trim level car than the Impala. A friend from high school had a 1965 sedan in white with a blue top and… more»

One Owner: 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix
UPDATE 12/10/2024: This 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix brought mixed responses from our readers when we featured it in October, and it appears that the seller didn’t taste success with their fixed-price approach at $18,000. Therefore, they are making another… more»

One-Family-Owned: 1984 Buick Riviera 307 V8
This 1984 Buick Riviera is four decades old now but a brochure touting it as being a “contemporary classic” seems like it would still apply today. It’s a car that most people could use as a daily driver, a… more»

1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Cruiser 455 V8
Looking great in a color that I believe is Chamois Gold, and having been repainted six years ago (and apparently debadged, unfortunately) this car is listed as a 1973 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, but I believe it’s a Cutlass Supreme… more»

Super Duty: 43k Mile 1974 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455
If you say the words Super Duty to a Ford enthusiast, they think of a work truck. If you say those words to a muscle car enthusiast, they immediately think of Pontiac. Typically, they focus on the 1973 and… more»

Sunroof Delete: 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra
The Fox body generation of the Ford Mustang Cobra represented perhaps one of the broader introductions of a collectible Ford in the modern era. While cars like the Saleen Mustang and ASC McLaren cars had existed up this point,… more»
