1 of 458: 1970 Plymouth Superbird 440 4-Barrel

Upgraded 350: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette

The Chevrolet Corvette was a pretty potent package in 1969, with its entry-level small-block placing 300hp at the driver’s disposal. However, our feature ‘Vette takes that to a higher level, with the seller holding dyno sheets confirming that the… more»

California Car: 1971 Ford Galaxie 500 351 V8

Ford offered three body styles for its newly redesigned 1971 Galaxie 500: a four-door sedan, a four-door hardtop, and a two-door hardtop, as with this 1971 Ford Galaxie 500. The seller, Beverly Hills Car Club, refers to this color… more»

Package Deal: Pair of 1959 Imperials (by Chrysler)

1938 Chevrolet Master HC 1/2-Ton Pickup

We don’t see a lot of 1930s pickups here on Barn Finds, and it’s hard to believe this 1938 Chevrolet Master HC 1/2-Ton Pickup is almost 90 years old now! I’m guessing there are Barn Finds readers who are… more»

Faded 4-Speed Survivor: 1974 Ford Mustang II

Chevy’s popular mid-sized Malibu satisfied a broad range of needs. Five years after the hot ’70 LS6 454 Chevelle and Malibu hit the streets with a chart-topping 450 HP V8, this 1975 Chevrolet Malibu lured buyers with its Collonade… more»

BF Auction: 1985 Cadillac Seville

The 1985 Cadillac Seville marked the end of the “bustleback” years, perhaps the ultimate showroom expression of GM styling chief Bill Mitchell’s fascination with classical themes. Sure, it was polarizing, but the 1985 model still outsold its immediate 1986… more»

36K Mile One-Owner: 1994 Cadillac Eldorado

I’m starting to see gold investing commercials again, so the economy must be working its way back to that again. This gold 1994 Cadillac Eldorado looks like a nice investment, and you can find it posted here on craigslist… more»

BF Auction: 1977 GMC Sierra C15

The classic truck market is unique! While we all love a classic vehicle, trucks have the added benefit of being more functional. There’s nothing stopping you from running to the store in your vintage Mustang or Tri-Five Chevy, but… more»

5-Speed Driver: 1996 Ford F150 Eddie Bauer

The Eddie Bauer edition Ford trucks remain an interesting category of so-called “limited edition” vehicles that may be worth paying attention to. Although purely a cosmetic upgrade, they are getting harder to find after once seemingly being one of… more»

Prodigious Project: 1947 Flxible “Clipper” Passenger Bus

Canary in a Coal Mine: 1941 Plymouth Coupe

Much digital ink has been spilled in the media to convince everyone that we are entering a recession.  Maybe.  Maybe not.  One of the ways car enthusiasts can tell if money is tight is by looking at the antique… more»

292/3-Speed: 1957 Ford Thunderbird
