1968 Ford LTD Brougham 4-Door Hardtop 390 V8

A 1968 Ford brochure says, “Ford ’68… Quiet. Strong. Beautiful.” That could have been said about me. Ok, maybe just the quiet part, but it’s hard to argue with the unique personality and features of the 1968 Ford LTD… more»

Half-Door Rarity: 1974 Plymouth Trailduster Survivor

Looking for a rare Mopar truck that blends convertible fun, vintage charm, and solid 4×4 capability? This 1974 Plymouth Trailduster might just be it. Listed here on eBay, it’s an early-production example equipped with factory “half doors” and a… more»

Bargain Cruiser? 1974 Pontiac Bonneville

Pinemist Green is a perfect color for this 1974 Pontiac Bonneville. Nothing says the 1970s like green or brown, big chrome bumpers, and gigantic 19-foot-long American cars that get 11 mpg. There’s some work to do on this big… more»

Dark Purple Rarity: 1995 Chevrolet Corvette

If you’re going to buy a car built in high production numbers, the general rule of thumb is to either find one that was a high-performance model or had some sort of near-unrepeatable options. This 1995 Chevrolet Corvette has… more»

Preserved SS: 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Clean, unmodified Monte Carlo SS examples are getting harder to come by, especially ones that still run and drive well. This 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS is said to be completely stock and original, right down to the factory… more»

1974 Fairmont M19-H Railroad Inspection Car

We can’t get enough of railroad history and items here on Barn Finds. Most of us are super interested in these things and yet the tips don’t come in too often. I found this one a couple of days… more»

One-Owner 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible

Read any production chart from the 1970s and it becomes clear that the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was America’s Sweetheart. In 1970, 26,983 were sold; not bad, but not enough to make anyone notice. By 1975, however, Oldsmobile had sold… more»

Power Steering & AC! 1957 International S-120 4×4

The term loaded has several meanings, at least when it comes to vehicles and not humans. We never had a vehicle with power windows and power door locks growing up, so my mind always goes to those two things… more»

11k Original Miles: 1997 Mercury Cougar XR7

Originally conceived as Mercury’s entry into the emerging pony car market, the Cougar eventually morphed into a personal luxury car that offered buyers plenty of creature comforts. The brand’s demise could have allowed the badge to disappear with barely… more»

One Family Owned: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Hardtop

Many enthusiasts consider a long-term ownership history a critical factor when searching for a classic to park in their garage. This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Hardtop comfortably ticks that box, having been part of the same family since… more»

“Mint Condition”: 1971 Mercury Cougar XR-7

One of my fears is someday having a medical issue that’ll keep me from enjoying my oddball collection of oddball vehicles. It happens more often than you may think, and that’s supposedly the case with this “mint condition” 1971… more»

Nicest One Left? 1969 Ford Falcon Futura

The Ford Falcon was perhaps the best-selling U.S.-built compact car of the 1960s (that’s before the Mustang came along). Launched in 1960, Ford delivered just shy of half a million copies in 1961, before new competition began to take… more»

60K Miles: 1979 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham

Located in the Nottingham, New Hampshire area but with an Iowa title, this 1979 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham is said to have 59,786 miles. It appears to be a low-mile car, at least as far as can be determined by… more»

8-Door Hauler: 1965 Ford Econoline Van

The seller only lays down 17 words in their description, three short lines of text. That’s a bummer compared to some folks who write paragraph after paragraph. Then again, this one provides pretty nice photos, so it makes up… more»

All Original? 1955 Studebaker President Speedster

I’ve always appreciated when a carmaker appreciates their own product. A few modern automakers still seem to get it: Jeep hides “Easter Eggs,” little reminders all over their various models about Jeep’s rich history. You can hardly look at… more»

*Plane Not Included: Updated 1963 Ford Futura

This was such a cool leading photo that I couldn’t resist showing it. We all know the plane isn’t included in the $17,500 asking price for this 1963 Ford Futura Sports Sedan, but hey, a guy can dream. I… more»
