Survivor Cars

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

1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 30th Anniversary Edition

Three decades of consistent production for any model is a cause worth celebrating in the auto community, and Chevrolet did not disappoint when the Camaro had its 30th birthday.  A special package, corporately known as RPO code Z4C, was… more»

Clean California Muscle: 1969 Oldsmobile 442

The late 1960s were peak years for Detroit muscle, and Oldsmobile’s 442 was a standout thanks to its blend of performance and refinement. This 1969 Oldsmobile 442, listed here on eBay by a private seller, is described as a… more»

BF Exclusive: 1971 Chevrolet C20 4-Speed

Chevrolet’s C20 pickups from the early 1970s are prized for their toughness, simplicity, and classic styling. This 1971 Chevrolet C20, offered exclusively through Barn Finds, is a strong-running example equipped with a 350 V8 and a 4-speed manual transmission…. more»

1970 Plymouth Fury III 2-Door Hardtop 318 V8

Looking like it’s had an infusion of morning coffee, this eyes-wide-open 1970 Plymouth Fury III 2-Door Hardtop appears to be a gem. If it had been a Sport Fury, it would have had hidden headlights, but I would not… more»

Rust-Free Truck: 1985 Ford Ranger V6

Wow, this is one nice Ranger! Just to get it out of the way right off the bat, yes, it’s been repainted, but it’s said to be a rust-free New Mexico truck, and someone spent a ton of money… more»

Butterfly Effect: 1993 Toyota Sera

Imported Japanese cars often carry an air of mystery, but few are as striking as this 1993 Toyota Sera, now listed here on craigslist in Smithfield, Rhode Island. Built exclusively for the Japanese market, the Sera debuted as a… more»

Over $20k Spent: 1967 Cadillac Eldorado 429

People buying 1967 Cadillac Eldorados were likely around when horses were still being used as transportation. That’s hard to fathom as we look at the tiny supercomputers in our hands all day long. I only say that to bring… more»

52k Original Miles: 1980 MG MGB Limited Edition

It is common for manufacturers to release Special Edition vehicles where buyer demand results in production totals far beyond expectations. This 1980 MGB Limited Edition is a perfect example of that practice, and is an extremely tidy survivor with… more»

77k Mile 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 350 Survivor

With the number of Novas that have already been modified, it’s refreshing to find one that hasn’t gotten tampered with, even if it’s a basic model.  However, that goes at least double when the car is an original Super… more»

One Family, Two Continents: 1967 Goggomobil TS250

At Barn Finds, we’re no strangers to classics that have remained part of the same family since Day One. However, when the vehicle in question is quirky and its history spans two continents and almost six decades, it is… more»

Rare Sliding Roof: 1966 Studebaker Wagonaire

I always admire quirky classics, especially when a particular design feature is the result of lateral thinking. Therefore, I find myself irresistibly drawn to this 1966 Studebaker Wagonaire. Its sliding rear roof offers much of the versatility and load-carrying… more»

Amazing Supercar: 1993 Jaguar XJ220

While the 1960s are considered by many as the muscle car era, some manufacturers spent the 1980s developing vehicles with the sole aim of building the world’s fastest production car. Jaguar held that honor for a period with the… more»

1993 Toyota Pickup SR5 5-Speed 4×4 Survivor

With the skyrocketing cost of new trucks over the last few years, the demand for pre-owned pickups will only continue increasing, especially those that came equipped with all the right stuff from the factory.  The desirability is even higher… more»

Original Paint Survivor: 1974 International Scout II

Buyers of today’s small SUVs probably have no idea that they’re missing out on one important detail: decal packages. OK, you can still get a “Free Wheeling” package on a new Bronco, but they’re not too common, which is… more»

20K Mile Survivor! 1993 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

This 1993 Chevrolet Corvette is a late C4 edition, which in my estimation, is the best of the lot. Add in low mileage and super clean condition, and you’ll have yourself one fine specimen of Chevrolet’s plastic fantastic. Unfortunately,… more»

Gorgeous in Gold: 1987 Pontiac Fiero SE

As I embark on selling a car that I thought would sell quickly – and have found, it is not – this 1987 Pontiac Fiero serves as a good reminder than price is always the ultimate motivator. I say… more»
