Survivor Cars

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

Ex-Wyoming Fire Truck: 1970 Dodge D500

I’ve evolved into really liking vintage medium-duty trucks over the last couple of years. We recently saw a nice 1968 Ford F-600 here on Barn Finds, and this 1970 Dodge D500 ex-Wyoming Fire Department Truck is another cool one…. more»

32k-Mile Survivor: 1980 Chevrolet LUV

The 1972-81 Chevrolet LUV was a Japanese-built compact pickup based on the Isuzu Faster. Its name was derived from the lettering for “Light Utility Vehicle.” They were small, simple trucks that sometimes accounted for U.S. sales of 100,000 copies… more»

H Body Survivor: 1990 Pontiac Bonneville LE

Sometimes, the term “survivor” manifests itself in the abstract sense, meaning an exotic or muscle car that’s never been modified. Sure, it’s a survivor, but that car or truck hasn’t exactly been battle tested. A survivor that’s been used… more»

Muscle Truck Bargain? 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10

A few days ago, I commented in a post about how the Dodge Ram SRT-10 was an underappreciated muscle truck, especially in terms of how much they sold for relative to the exotic powertrain under the hood. Thanks to… more»

Stunning First Year: 1964 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 F-85

Pontiac created a sensation when it introduced the GTO, which many would argue was the first muscle car. Oldsmobile responded quickly, releasing the 4-4-2 in 1964. It featured performance credentials with a focus on a luxurious motoring experience. This… more»

28k Original Miles: 1994 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Tahoe LT

By the 1990s, the traditional Station Wagon had taken a back seat in the new car market due to the rise of the SUV. Vehicles like this 1994 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Tahoe LT were the new kings, offering interior… more»

Unrestored Survivor: 1964 Ford Country Squire Wagon

Some classics cross our desks at Barn Finds and are immediately recognizable. Such is the case with this 1964 Ford Country Squire. The indications are that the seller has had difficulty finding a new home for this Wagon, because… more»

25-Year Cream Puff: 2000 Buick Park Avenue

The Park Avenue replaced the Electra (225) in 1991, although the name had previously been a trim package offering. The Park Avenue would be Buick’s most lavish car through 2005, when it was retired in favor of the later… more»

Clean E36: 1997 BMW M3

After you spend any amount of time with a certain make or model, it becomes easier to separate the wheat from the chaff. The E36-chassis BMW M3 is a car I’ve quite familiar with, having owned a 1995 coupe… more»

Canadian ATV: 1971 McKee Roughrider 6×6

Believe it or not, Honda didn’t invent the ATV. The first widely recognized All-Terrain Vehicle was made in Toronto, Canada, and was called the Jiger. It was somewhat similar to this 1971 McKee Roughrider 6×6, made by McKee Bros.,… more»

Restored Six-Cylinder Superbike: 1979 Honda CBX

With mostly vertical photos that are cut off, other than the first one, it’s hard to get an overall look at the beautiful restoration of this superbike, and that’s super unfortunate. But, as with the rest of 2025, it… more»

8K Miles? 1974 International 200 4×4 392 4-Speed

The 1974 International pickups were renamed again, this time with just three digits representing the weight rating. This 1974 International 200 is a 3/4-ton 4×4 and International had the widest stance of any pickup of the era. They also… more»

Farm Find: 1980s John Deere AMT 622 Transporter

The seller doesn’t list any numbers or show a VIN or data plate or anything like that, so we aren’t sure what year this John Deere AMT 622 Transporter is; it could be anywhere from the late-1980s to the… more»

Originally 2WD: 1964 Ford F-250 4×4 352 4-Speed

I know I’m way off on what I think is a good look for a vintage 4×4 pickup, as I think this 1964 Ford F-250 4×4 looks 100% perfect. At least stance-wise, height-wise, and wheel-size-wise. The seller has this… more»
