39k Original Miles: 1987 Buick Grand National

Picking a car that is destined to become a future classic can sometimes be a pretty easy task, whilst at other times the process can be extraordinarily difficult. On looks alone, the 1987 Buick Grand National was always going… more»

1982 Buick Electra Limited With Only 8k Miles!??

The fifth-generation Buick Electra is a personal favorite of mine, along with the related Oldsmobile and Cadillac. We’ve looked at a couple of cars from this era recently here on Barn Finds and this 1982 Buick Electra Limited looks… more»

Cheap Fox Body: 1993 Ford Mustang LX

We would all like to have a Cobra or an SSP but this humble LX might be perfect if you’re looking for a more affordable fox body option. Sure, the fou-banger and automatic arent exciting but this could be… more»

1933 Plymouth Coupe Barn Find

The seller’s wife’s Uncle started the restoration of this Plymouth a long time ago but ended up pushing the car into the barn before they finished it. These were great looking cars and this one needs a new owner… more»

BF Classified Square Bird: 1959 Ford Thunderbird

I have covered a few Thunderbirds for Barn Finds but never a “Square Bird” as the ’58 to ’60 models are colloquially known. While they have been overshadowed for years by the first-gen “Baby Bird” (’55 to ’57), they… more»

1978 AMC Gremlin With Only 2,250 Miles!

The seller of this 1978 AMC Gremlin says, “This car is a time capsule.” With a claimed 2,250 original miles and said to have been garage kept its entire life, it’s hard to disagree. Thank you to Barn Finds… more»

Stored Since ’65! 1964 Pontiac GTO 389 Tri-Power

Sometimes called The First Muscle Car, Pontiac’s 1964 GTO set the definition for its era:  a mid-sized body with a powerful engine from a full-sized car. Amazingly, this one is presented as covering fewer than 1300 miles during its… more»

BF Classified: 1976 Chevrolet Corvette With 16K Miles!

Off to a good start here, it’s green! My favorite color. Unfortunately, Corvette’s from the mid-’70s don’t always get the respect that their earlier brethren command but this one is a bit unique, it is a 16K original mile… more»

Tri-Power Treat: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette

I would be willing to bet some serious money that in 50-years time, early examples of the C3 Corvette are going to be at least as desirable then as they are right now. Of course, when you are talking… more»

Daily Driver: 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra

Despite having close to 85,000 miles and seller himself referring to his car as driver-quality, this 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra presents quite well, partially due to a repaint in its original color in the early 2000s. The strong bidding… more»

44k Original Miles: 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue

Cars that rolled off the production lines of the 1980s have been largely overlooked when it comes to considering potential classics. New car production was at record levels during the “greed is good” era, and the motor vehicle was… more»

Original Steel: 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1

We’ve all seen them. I’ve personally lost count of just how many 1st Generation Mustangs have crossed my path that have either been afflicted with major rust issues or have had rust problems addressed at some point during their… more»

Parked For 10 Years: 1973 Mercury Capri

Family resemblances can range from the extremely vague through to the quite profound. When you look at vehicles like this 1973 Capri, it isn’t hard to see design and styling influences that reflect the success of the 1st Generation… more»

Best One Left? 1983 Dodge Mirada CMX

This 1983 Dodge Mirada CMX is one of the lesser seen Chrysler products born out of the downsized 80s, especially in CMX trim. The seller notes that his example is a smart buy, as it’s not missing any of… more»

289/4-Speed Equipped! 1963 Mercury Comet

What do you think of when you hear the word Comet? Something celestial like Haley’s Comet? A crack passenger train from bygone days? One of Santa’s around the world in one-night gang? For me, pretty much all of the… more»

Modify or Preserve? 1979 Chevrolet Malibu Station Wagon

The seller notes his business purchased this non-running 1979 Chevrolet Malibu station wagon due to the frequency with which the platform is modified for restomod or hot rod use. This is an accurate statement, as I’ve seen plenty of… more»
