Survivor Cars

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

18k Mile One-Owner: 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ

The Pontiac Grand Prix went into its fourth generation of production in 1973 and would be quite popular. This is the era of the Colonnade styling that was employed on all of GM’s mid-size cars. The car would set… more»

63k Mile Survivor: 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne

In the 1960s, if you wanted a full-size car that wore Chevrolet badging, you bought yourself a Biscayne. As an entry-level model, it was accompanied by the Bel Air, Impala, Caprice, and station wagons of differing trim levels. They… more»

Japanese Mustang? 1977 Toyota Celica GT

Though not exclusively sold in the U.S., the Toyota Celica took direct aim at the original 1965 Ford Mustang. However, by the time the 2+2 sports coupe was introduced, the Mustang had grown considerably in size. The first generation… more»

Genuine Survivor: 1962 Chevrolet Corvette

When the previous owner placed it into storage in 1980, C1 Corvettes like this 1962 model were not particularly valuable. Today, they are highly sought, especially if they are original and unmolested. That is the case with this beauty,… more»

No Reserve: 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

By 1979, Chevrolet’s Second Generation Camaro was reaching its use-by date, and the company was well down the road of developing its groundbreaking replacement. That didn’t prevent buyers from stepping up to the plate with their cash in hand,… more»

3300 Mile Survivor! 1992 Buick Park Avenue

It seems a little odd covering a car here on Barn Finds that is a 1992 model like this Buick Park Avenue. I mean it’s only a ’92, right? Oh yeah, that was 30 years ago and this Buick… more»

Never This Nice: 1997 Ford Aerostar

For any of you following the rise in popularity of 1980s and 1990s vehicles, you may have noticed an increase in Facebook groups that track these “rad”-era cars and trucks. As such, some once unloved models are finding favor… more»

Pole Barn Find: 1991 Dodge Stealth

In the 1990s, Chrysler and Mitsubishi were in cahoots and that provided the former with a variety of badge-engineered vehicles to sell in the U.S. One such product was the Dodge Stealth, which essentially was a Mitsubishi GTO. This… more»

Rare 1994 Pontiac Trans Am Convertible With 24k Miles

The Firebird and Camaro have been around since 1967, and over the years, various special editions have come out, including Indy Pace Car models and anniversary specials. Take this 1994 Pontiac Trans Am convertible, for instance. It’s available on… more»

Fully Loaded: 1986 Toyota SR5 4×4 Pickup

It has often been said that any 4×4 can get its occupants where they want to go, but only a Toyota guarantees they’ll get home again. Toyota off-roaders have a reputation for bulletproof reliability, and this 1986 SR5 4×4… more»

Astroroof Survivor: 1977 Cadillac Seville

We just saw a Lincoln Versailles a day or two ago here on Barn Finds and I don’t know too many people who would take that car over a first-generation Seville like this 1977 Cadillac Seville. Other than me,… more»

Garage Find: 1971 Kawasaki MT1 Mini Trail

“Get’chur motor runnin’, head out on the highway… lookin’ for adventure, in whatever comes our way…” It’s almost as if Steppenwolf performed the song Born to Be Wild about this 1971 Kawasaki MT1 Mini Trail. Ok, that’s pushing it… more»

28k Mile One Owner! 1960 Chrysler Imperial

Even though the nameplate had been around from 1926, the Imperial was not technically a Chrysler from 1955 through 1975. The company had carefully registered it as a separate make to help it compete on more of an equal… more»

Original Survivor: 1947 Lincoln Zephyr Sedan

You don’t see these every day. In fact, it’s only the second 1947 Lincoln Zephyr we’ve ever featured here on Barn Finds and I can’t recall ever seeing one at a car show. As is quite common in vehicles… more»

The Perfect Ferrari? 1983 308 GTS Charmer

Just over $77 grand (firm says the seller) will buy you a lovely 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole that tipster Pat L found lurking here on craigslist. It had its belt service, a couple of years ago, and runs… more»

45K Mile 1973 Mercury Marquis Brougham

With almost 130,000 Marquis models sold in 1973, this line of luxury cars would be a success both with buyers and with FoMoCo. The seller, a car dealer, has this 1973 Mercury Marquis Brougham posted here on craigslist in… more»
