Survivor Cars

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

Rare Edition: 1968 Ford Mustang High Country Special

During its production run, Ford offered potential First Generation Mustang buyers several different special editions. One of these was the High Country Special, available between 1966 and 1968. Our feature car is from that final year of production, and… more»

Hemi Powered: 1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe

If you trace the history of hot rods back to their roots, the overriding theme on these builds is ingenuity. Owners generally didn’t have a mountain of cash to spend, so they adapted and modified what was on hand… more»

58K-Mile 1976 Ford Gran Torino Brougham

We recently saw a really nice 1973 Ford Thunderbird and someone has already snapped it up. That didn’t last too long. This 1976 Ford Gran Torino Brougham is somewhat similar in being a top-trim two-door Ford and the seller has… more»

One Family Since New: 1967 Dodge Coronet 500

This top-of-the-line 500 trim Dodge Coronet has traveled just over 100k miles and is fresh from a decade-long storage. It has been owned by one family since new and is in overall very good preserved condition. Enough work has… more»

82-Year Survivor: 1939 Ford Deluxe Sedan

It’s not often we get to see an 80+ year-old car in original condition that is generally rust-free, and runs and drives, but that is the case here! This 1939 Ford Deluxe Sedan is being offered for sale with… more»

427/4-Speed: 1968 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe

It’s a question worth pondering. The muscle car era brought the buying public cars with mind-bending performance. The manufacturer usually wrapped them in a package that loudly and proudly let everyone know that they should not treat the vehicle… more»

Cheap Duster? 1974 Plymouth Duster

This 1974 Plymouth Duster looks as straight as an arrow and I don’t see much of any rust on this car. You have to see the engine compartment photo, it’s a work of art. I can’t quite tell if… more»

Rare Option: 1970 Mercury Cougar XR7

When you start to trawl through the options list offered by a manufacturer for a particular model, you begin to realize how easy it can be to create a genuinely unique vehicle. Take the current Fiat 500 as a… more»

Original 454/4-Speed: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette

We’ve seen a few nice C3 Corvettes in recent times here at Barn Finds, but this 1970 example will undoubtedly tick most of the right boxes for genuine enthusiasts. It is a tidy and solid survivor that features its… more»

30K-Mile Time Capsule: 1973 Ford Thunderbird

If you were in middle-management or maybe were a budget private eye in the early-1970s, you may have had a car like this 1973 Ford Thunderbird. It wasn’t a Lincoln Continental Mark IV like Bill Conrad drove in “Cannon”… more»

No Reserve: 1989 Porsche 944

If someone handed me a fist full of cash and told me to go out and buy a Porsche, I would probably arrive home with a car like this 1989 Porsche 944. Something about the long nose and bulging… more»

The Big Kahuna! Chevrolet LS6 454 Engine

Chevrolet has done a pretty good job over the years of making desirable powertrain components available via its Chevrolet Performance Parts operation. Some of the products offered are pretty close to what was originally available, while other components are… more»

BF Exclusive: 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint

It wouldn’t be stretching credibility to suggest that the release of the First Generation Mustang sealed the fate of the Ford Falcon Sprint. Potential buyers became so swept up in their desire to park a Mustang in their driveway… more»

Beautiful California Survivor: 1966 Volvo P1800

UPDATE – This lovely Volvo sold back in August for $24,500. It’s back on the market, but it’s now in Waxahachie, Texas and is being offered here on eBay without a reserve. The seller states that they purchased the… more»

Stored Ten Years: 1979 Mercury Bobcat

The Mercury Bobcat three-door Runabout, as this one would have been classified, was an interesting little car. Mercury didn’t go to a lot of effort to differentiate them from a Ford Pinto but they were a little upscale. This… more»

Nicest One Left? 1979 Lincoln Versailles

For $63, buyers of a 1979 Versailles could get a two-tone paint option known as “Dual-Shade” paint. This gorgeous 1979 Lincoln Versailles has that option in Medium Turquoise over Dark Turquoise and it’s the perfect color for a Palm… more»
