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

Old School Motor Coach: 1931 Mack Greyhound Bus

Plush Burgundy Velour, Anyone?: 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix

Finally, a Grand Prix that’s in the same state I am (California) and which is old enough (a 1975 model) that it doesn’t have to be subjected to smog checks. And the price? Not terrible at an asking number… more»

Original Paint and Interior: 1956 Packard Patrician Sedan

I am fairly certain that almost every Barn Finds reader could compile a list of at least ten American marques that have been consigned to the dusty pages of history books. One of those would be Packard, a company… more»

5-Speed 4WD: 1990 Subaru Fun Justy

I have always considered my automotive tastes to be eclectic, and there are very few classics that I would categorically exclude from a list of potential candidates to park in my garage if the opportunity presented itself. This 1990… more»

Clean and Original 1978 Ford LTD Woody!

Calling this a woody is a bit of a misnomer, as the “wood” on this wagon is of the fiberglass variety. But regardless of the manmade panels, this is one heck of a car. Located in Seabrook, New Hampshire,… more»

Highly Optioned: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am Special Edition

The Second Generation Pontiac Trans Am remains one of the most highly sought classics from the 1970s. Although values for the 1979 Special Edition have taken a slight hit during the last year, pristine examples and promising project candidates… more»

36K Miles: 1979 Buick Skyhawk V6 Hatchback

All Buick Skyhawks had V6 engines in the first generation and that seems like an impressive engine for such a seemingly small car, even if it only had around 110 horsepower. They were also all hatchbacks, this was the… more»

Rust-Free Barn Find: 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible

I know from previous feedback that we have readers who fear that the supply of genuinely desirable barn finds will eventually trickle to a halt, and that is a fair assumption to make. However, if this 1966 Ford Mustang… more»

Last of the Line: 1969 Chevrolet Corvair

Estate Find: 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado GT W-34

What an incredible find this is. A Barn Finds reader sent in the tip for this 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado GT and didn’t leave their name, so thanks to them. This car checks so many boxes it’s not even funny,… more»

57K Miles: 1977 Mercury Bobcat Villager Wagon

A Pinto wagon with woodgrain and wire wheelcovers, now that’s fancy. Wait, this is a 1977 Mercury Bobcat Villager Wagon? No wonder it’s so fancy. There really wasn’t that much difference between the Ford Pinto and Mercury Bobcat other… more»
