We’ve only seen seven 1970 Ford LTDs here on Barn Finds over the years, and none of them were a 4-door sedan as seen here. I think I actually prefer the 4-door body style in this car over the… more»
Survivor Cars
Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:
Nicest One Left? 1988 Mazda 323 Hatchback
Maybe the title should be, “Only One Left?” This 1988 Mazda 323 hatchback is a car that a lot of us either owned or saw every day on the roads, but they have mostly disappeared in the last couple… more»
18,370 Miles? 1977 Cadillac Sedan DeVille
Looking like either Jennifer Blue or Cerulean Blue (my money is on Jennifer Blue), this 1977 Cadillac Sedan DeVille appears to be a nice example of GM’s first year redesigned fifth-generation DeVille series, in a much smaller, lighter size, and… more»
Movie History: 1962 Citroën 2CV
One thing I have learned while writing for Barn Finds is that cars with a movie history attract differing views. Some readers view it as a positive trait, while others consider it to add nothing to a car’s potential… more»
“Mint” Survivor: 1989 Volvo 240 DL
There was a time when I wouldn’t have given a Volvo a second glance. I viewed them as staid, conservative, and lacking excitement. My views changed once I drove a few, because I found them extremely comfortable and capable… more»
350/4-Speed: 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible
Although I have always admitted a weakness for classic cars wearing the Blue Oval badge, I’ve always longed to park a First Generation Pontiac Firebird in my garage. I believe that Pontiac struck a sweet spot with the styling,… more»
Well-Optioned Survivor: 1971 Chevrolet El Camino
Elkys don’t typically get me going but this ’71 has a few options that caught my attention. I’ve always thought an El Camino could make an affordable muscle car alternative if it had the right hardware. This particular one… more»
No Reserve K5: 1973 Chevrolet Blazer
Enthusiasts seeking an off-roader will likely find this 1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazer an ideal candidate. It presents extremely well, with no rust or other nasty surprises. The first owner teamed the range-topping 350ci V8 with a four-speed manual transmission… more»
22k Mile Collector Edition: 1982 Chevrolet Corvette
When Chevrolet drew the curtain on C3 Corvette production, it did so by releasing a limited edition version. Officially called the Collector Edition, its production wasn’t as limited as the company originally envisaged. However, these cars have found their… more»
$38,500! 14K-Mile 1979 Pontiac Bonneville Coupe
Somehow, after all the years Barn Finds has been showing vintage vehicles, we’ve only seen five 1979 Pontiac Bonnevilles. One was a wagon, two were four-door sedans, and two were coupes like this gorgeous 1979 Pontiac Bonneville Coupe. This… more»
Running Project: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396
If you compiled a list of the “must-have’ items that buyers seek in a Chevrolet Chevelle SS, this 1970 example ticks most of the boxes. The first owner combined a 396ci V8 with a four-speed manual transmission, a Posi… more»
No Reserve: 1969 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
Although nobody knew it at the time, the release of the Mustang Mach 1 in 1969 sounded the death knell for the Mustang GT. The badge soldiered on until the year’s end, then disappeared. That makes this 1969 Mustang… more»
1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 With 12k Original Miles!
I am sure that many Barn Finds readers will agree that certain words and phrases are overused when describing classic vehicles. I am aware from your feedback that “patina” is one of them. Another one to make the list… more»
45k Original Miles: 1986 Toyota MR2
Just as many people can remember where they were when significant historic events occurred, I can clearly recall seeing my first Toyota MR2 “in the flesh.” Purchased by a friend in dazzling Super Red, I was immediately taken by… more»
Only 17,650 Miles? 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Safari
Between 1955 and 1957, General Motors offered two “sport wagons”. Best remembered is the Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad with the custom body from the cowl back. But Pontiac also offered a similar wagon, the Star Chief Safari. Neither posted… more»
24,600 Miles! 1960 Studebaker Lark VI Wagon
A 1960 Studebaker brochure touts the four-door wagon as having “Fashion with function.” I’ve never had either of those qualities, but this ’60 four-door wagon seems to fit the bill. The seller has this “original” but completely restored (I’m… more»
