Survivor Cars

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

Indoor Storage Find: 1975 Ford Elite

Made for three model years, 1974, 1975, and 1976 – technically, only two model years, as the 1974 Elite was under the Gran Torino halo and was called Gran Torino Elite – these are interesting cars. I can’t remember… more»

No Body Rust: 1978 Dodge Monaco 360 V8

We’ve only seen four 1978 Dodge Monacos here on Barn Finds over the years; that’s hard to believe. Even harder to believe, only one of them was a two-door like this example shown here on craigslist in the East… more»

Not For Freeway Use! 1969 Subaru 360 Deluxe

Pristine 25k Mile 1987 Chevrolet Corvette

Like red? Then this 1987 C4 Corvette coupe is worth a look: it’s Bright Red over Red, the intense color relieved slightly by its black steering wheel and black dash/console. It has traveled only 25,600 miles since new, and… more»

Nicest One Left? 1975 Plymouth Road Runner

5-Speed Survivor: 1988 Cadillac Cimarron

Daily Driver: 1980 Toyota Corona 5-Speed Wagon

Drives Great: 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis

I’m wondering, just wondering if FoMoCo’s Panther platform cars will come into their own in a collector sort of way. There were zillions produced, with many still plying the highways and byways of America. High mileage? So what, 200,000… more»

Pristine Pickup: 1991 Chevrolet S10

There are enthusiasts for every type of car or truck you can imagine. Pickup truck collectors tend to skew towards older, more classic models, but every now and again you find someone who digs the modern stuff. This isn’t… more»

Trailering Special: 1976 Chevrolet Blazer K5 Cheyenne

42K-Mile Survivor: 1993 Honda Civic LX

A guy, or I guess he was a kid, a teenager, that I went to school with turned 16 in ninth grade and his developer dad bought him a new Honda Civic. Not like this 1993 Honda Civic LX… more»

Miami Vice in Real Life: 1989 Ferrari Testarossa
