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

Z-Code 390: 1963 Mercury Monterey Breezeway

The seller of this Frost Pink and Castilian Gold Poly 1963 Mercury Monterey Breezeway two-door coupe has uploaded over 250 beautiful photos to their eBay link seen here. That’s amazing as sometimes a seller won’t even take the time… more»

Nicest One Left? 1978 GMC Caballero 350 V8

The term “fancy truck” has always seemed like an oxymoron to me. I mean, aren’t trucks supposed to be for hauling construction materials or sacks of grain and things like that? GMC had their own version of the Chevy… more»

One Owner Project: 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air

Chevrolet’s cars would be all new for 1955, including the Bel Air which continued as the automaker’s top-line series. It was called “The Hot One” in General Motors’ advertising, partly because a V8 would be available for the first… more»

1972 Ford F-250 That Clint Eastwood Drove In “The Mule”

I’ve been a Clint Eastwood fan since his Rowdy Yates days on the Rawhide TV Show, so I couldn’t pass this one up. It seems like ole Clint has had a thing for 1972 Fords in a few of… more»

Running Survivor: 1950 Dodge Pickup

Beautiful trucks from the 1940s and 1950s are coming out our ears these days at Barn Finds, and here’s another one. This 1950 Dodge Pickup, found here on eBay, is bid to $5,300, reserve not met. This truck lives… more»

45K-Mile 1978 Jeep J-10 4×4 3-Speed

In 1971, Jeep changed the name of their pickups from Gladiator to either the 1/2-ton J-10 or 3/4-ton J-20. There were several special editions but this example isn’t one of them and that’s not a bad thing. The seller… more»

Turn-Key 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler With A Cobra Jet 429!

Rarely do you find yourself pulling up to a stoplight, only to find that the car creeping up next to you ready to gap your ride is a Mercury. Such was the case at the turn of the decade… more»

French Icon: 1972 Citroën DS 21

When one thinks of the classic European cars of the Fifties and Sixties, one’s mind naturally gravitates toward the Germans, the British, and (of course) the Italians. Yet it was another country that arguably put forward the most technically… more»

48K-Mile 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe

Sleek, beautiful, and slightly sinister doesn’t begin to describe this 48k-mile 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe two-door sedan, sometimes called a fastback due to the sloping roof in the rear. Postwar designs were new in 1949 and the Deluxe 2100… more»

Well-Preserved Luxury Liner: 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

If you want to transport yourself back to the 1970s in luxurious style, look no further than this 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV. Advertising of the day positioned Lincoln as “the final step up.” I’m not sure about that,… more»

15K Miles! 1988 Winnebago Elandan 37RQ

I had to sell a beloved mid-1960s car a couple of years ago because it was almost twenty feet long and I had to rent a storage space to park it inside because our garage at the time wasn’t… more»

18k Mile Survivor: 1966 Chrysler New Yorker

The New Yorker was one of Chrysler’s longest-running nameplates (1940-96) and was the finest automobile they built except for the Imperial. If you wanted luxury and performance but didn’t quite have the resources for the latter, this is the… more»

Grandpa’s 4X4: 1987 Jeep Wrangler

This original-appearing, almost-survivor 1987 Jeep Wrangler was only pulled from storage last week in Fremont, California, but the seller tells us it fired right up on new gasoline! It’s listed for sale here on craigslist with an asking price… more»

Interesting History: 1991 Honda CRX Si

The seller of this 1991 Honda CRX Si tells us that this car has had a very interesting history, including being owned by an older gentleman who never drove over 60 mph in the right lane. I’m SO glad… more»

Bi-Turbo Beauty: 1990 BMW Alpina B10

Over the years, I’ve let it be known that I’m a fairly enthusiastic vintage BMW fan. This interest has waned a bit as the company continues to move in a direction that is thoroughly opposite of enthusiast interests, along… more»

Never Restored: 1959 Jaguar XK150 OTS

Jaguar has a rich history in sports car production, and the XK150 marked the last hurrah for its “XK100” series before introducing the legendary E-Type. This XK150 rolled off the line in 1959 and is an original and unrestored… more»
