Stored 37 Years: 1966 Ford Mustang

Between 1964-66, Ford built more than 1.2 million Mustangs, which must be some sort of production record. People were driving them off showroom floors faster than the company could build them. 1966 would be the peak model year at… more»

50k Miles? 1969 Dodge Charger

Is the glass half empty or half full?  That’s the cliche that keeps coming to my mind as I look over this 1969 Dodge Charger.  The second-generation Charger was produced from 1968 through 1970 and is still a hot… more»

Former Forest Truck: 1955 Dodge Power Wagon

7K Original Miles: 1978 Cadillac Eldorado

One-Owner Survivor: 1971 Chevrolet Nova

Museum Quality: 1986 Plymouth Horizon

We seem to be seeing a few cars come across our desks here at Barn Finds that usually wouldn’t cause us to bat an eyelid. They are vehicles that their builders conceived as basic family transport, and under most… more»

In Storage Since ’91: 1979 Ford Bronco

Bidding is moving higher and higher for this survivor-grade Ford Bronco, which was supposedly locked up in storage until just a few years ago. That may explain why the exterior still presents so well, with a pretty primrose yellow… more»

Running Project: 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport

The third generation of the Ford Torino began with the 1972 models (having replaced the Fairlane a couple of years earlier). The 1973 editions were little changed with the Gran Torino Sport being the top-line version. The seller’s car… more»

Twister Special? 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Potent Pontiac: 1994 Firebird Firehawk Formula

While the fourth and final generation of the Pontiac Firebird may not be hailed as a favorite among many F-Body fans, it is simply unfair to say that they didn’t have some great moments now and then.  The fourth-generation… more»

Cheap Roller! 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

Four-door sedans are usually the least popular vintage cars to restore because they are considered “family cars.” But in 1957, the biggest selling Bel Air was the four-door sedan (and the second highest-selling Chevy overall that year). But that… more»

Running Project: 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado

Oldsmobile broke new ground when they introduced the Toronado in 1966. It was their version of a personal luxury car, like the Buick Riviera and the Pontiac Grand Prix, but with front-wheel-drive, something unseen in a production American car… more»

454-Powered 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Project

Still a bargain classic, the third-generation Corvette, the “C3,” sometimes gets a bad rap since most of the 1968-1983 model run occurred during the “malaise era” when pollution regulations and a focus on fuel economy led to tragically low… more»
