This 1940 Ford Pickup has spent the majority of its life in the drier climes of Arizona. This has allowed it to remain a rust-free survivor with bags of character. The current owner has left this classic largely unchanged,… more»
Survivor Cars
Not all barn finds are rusty! Here are the very best unrestored classics:
No Reserve Rarity: 1955 Chevrolet 210 Flower Car
We’ve seen one or two Flower Cars appear across the desks here at Barn Finds over the years, but I believe that this is the first one based on a Chevrolet 210. Usually, funeral homes would opt for something… more»
19k Original Miles? 1973 Ford Mustang Grande
If you wanted a Mustang with a little more pizzazz in 1973, you may have opted for a Grande model. I don’t know if that’s what the original buyer of this one was looking for, but they and subsequent… more»
1 Of 24: 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350
It doesn’t matter how many I see, nicely preserved Shelby Mustangs will get my attention either time – especially when they wear colors like this gorgeous shade of Acapulco Blue. The seller notes this color code with this equipment… more»
Easy Project? 1978 Dodge Ramcharger
I recently wrote about a 1982 Dodge Ram being a bargain compared to its Ford and GM counterparts. The same seems to be true for the full-size SUVs based on those trucks, like this 1978 Dodge Ramcharger here. This… more»
5-Speed Survivor: 1983 Jeep Cherokee Chief
Old-school square body SUVs continue to be among the hottest collector vehicles on the market right now, and it’s almost too late to get in cheaply if you’re looking for a mint example. Plenty of rough trucks are still… more»
12,594 Original Miles: 1979 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency
This 1979 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency is an incredible survivor, having resided in the care of one owner up until this year. The mileage is incredibly low, noted as being a mere 12,594, surely a sign of being in the… more»
1973 Dodge Dart Sport 340 Survivor
Everyone remembers the Dodge Demon, right? It was Dodge’s version of the successful Plymouth Duster. The Demon name was used for the 1971-72 model years but changed to Dart Sport in 1973 because of some supposed secular issues with… more»
Hemi Powered! 1961 Daimler SP 250
What’s a Daimler SP250? I’d never heard of it and assumed that it was a product from Germany’s famed Daimler AG. Nope. Is it notable? It was voted the ugliest car at the 1959 New York Motor show, so… more»
Stored 30 Years: 1973 Chrysler Town & Country
Ships ahoy, matey! Welcome aboard the land yacht that was the 1973 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon. This was perhaps the biggest family hauler on the market because it’s largely based on the Chrysler New Yorker. Like… more»
180 Mile Pace Car: 1979 Ford Mustang
This 1979 Ford Mustang Pace Car is a timewarp survivor with just 180 miles on the clock. Yes, 180, no zeroes missing. I will never understand why owners choose to stare at a car rather than to drive it… more»
Pair Of 2M4s: Two Pontiac Fieros for $10K!
It’s not entirely surprising to see this pair of Pontiac Fieros for $10,000 still listed for sale after the ad was flagged a week ago. While there’s no where to go but up for Pontiac’s classic mid-engined coupe, the… more»
1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Survivor?
The seller of this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air claims it is an 84K original mile “cream puff” that has spent most of its life in a garage. It can be found here on eBay with a current bid of nearly… more»
Sporty And Stylish: 1971 Saab Sonett III
Certain auto brands conjure different images. Saab, in particular, is one that recalls small rounded, quirky two-cycle, compact cars or more mature 900, 9-3 and 9-5 sedans, coupes and convertibles. Unfortunately, today Saab doesn’t conjure much of any thought… more»
12k Original Miles: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary
Hidden under this cover is a Pontiac Trans Am that has led a sheltered existence. It spent part of its life as a museum piece but has been in private ownership for the past 11-years. The owner has only… more»
427 V8 Power: 1969 Chevrolet Biscayne
Cars like this have always been prime candidates to become sleepers. You know, take a mundane-looking sedan, replace the basic motor with a fire-breather, and then take on all comers! All while looking like you were on the way… more»
