Buried Treasure: 1961 Chevrolet Impala Project

Every once in a while, a listing comes along that reminds us of the raw side of the “barn find” world. This 1961 Chevrolet Impala, now listed here on eBay, isn’t tucked away in a climate-controlled garage or sitting… more»

Project EXP: 1987 Ford Escort

This is not a car that should excite me, but sadly, it does. This is a Ford Escort EXP, which is a two-door, “sporty” coupe that wasn’t particularly fast or sharp-handling, but that bodywork would say otherwise. You don’t… more»

Former Drag Racer: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

With all the buzz the more muscular versions of Chrysler’s E-Body cars receive nowadays, it’s easy to lose sight of how versatile they were as everyday drivers, at least for those not as inclined to push performance to the… more»

13k Original Miles: 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

I’ve always said that if money were no object and I had the chance to park a 1990s classic in my garage, the 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra would be my first choice. I have always liked the styling… more»

Time Capsule Survivor: 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 4-Speed

When Pontiac rolled out the Firebird in 1967, it was their answer to the Mustang and Camaro, and they made sure it stood apart by offering big power right out of the gate. This first-year Firebird, now up for… more»

Low-Mile Survivor: 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe

Not every barn find needs to be a V8 fastback to get Mustang fans excited. This 1968 Ford Mustang coupe, spotted here on craigslist in Louisville, Colorado, is an all-original survivor showing just 58,000 miles. That mileage isn’t rolled… more»

One-Owner 1986 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Ah, the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro – a perennial entry in the “project cars you can afford” category, and one that seems to remain popular even years after its retirement (the generation, not the model.) However, is there a value… more»

Ford Probe Alternative: 1996 Mazda MX-6

Mazda has achieved a remarkable run of consistency over the years despite remaining an independent brand that competes with a much smaller arsenal of products and capital. One of the ways it has done this is by producing cars… more»

Stored 41 Years: 1973 Plymouth ‘Cuda 340

The declining demand for muscle cars in the 1970s spilled over onto the nimbler “pony cars”, too. Sales of the Plymouth Barracuda were off by 60% from 1970 to 1973, leading to the car’s cancellation in 1974 (the Dodge… more»

Driver’s Dream: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 SportsRoof

The 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 has long been considered one of the most desirable first-generation Mustangs, blending aggressive styling with serious performance. This example, listed here on eBay, is a genuine Mach 1 (63C code) that’s ready to… more»

Parts Included: 1968 Mercury Cougar Project

I like sixties vintage Mustangs as much as the next guy, but it’s the first-gen Mercury Cougar, such as this 1968 project, that really speaks to me. Why? I dunno, the Cougar seems to present a more serious vibe,… more»

Restoration-Ready Icon: 1957 Ford Thunderbird

The 1957 Ford Thunderbird is one of those cars that needs no introduction. With its low-slung lines, subtle fins, and unmistakable style, the T-Bird quickly became one of the most recognizable American cars of the 1950s. Now up for… more»

390 Equipped: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach I

Over the past couple of decades, I’ve only bought either black or white cars for my daily commutes, as has been the case with my last four.  Some of that mindset is probably a habit pattern, but another possible… more»

Sitting Since The ’90s: 1974 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455

As the owner of a ’74 Firebird, I am biased in its favor, but it’s no long branch to go out on when I say that Pontiac handled the five-mile-per-hour bumper regulations better on the Firebird than any other… more»

493 Documented Miles! 1991 Ford Mustang LX

We’re no strangers to low-mile classics at Barn Finds. However, one occasionally surfaces that pushes well beyond the ordinary. Take this 1991 Ford Mustang LX as a prime example. Its presentation is seemingly flawless, which is understandable when you… more»

Reasonably Priced: 1966 Ford Mustang

I had to do a double-take when I saw this 1966 Ford Mustang. That’s because it appears to be dark green like mine was and has a similar 200 cubic inch inline-six. But upon further inspection, I discovered it… more»
