1975 Ford F-250 Custom Crew Cab 4×4 4-Speed

Here’s another big box-checker for you pickup fans, and I mean big. A Wimbledon White over Raven Black “Regular Tu-Tone” paint combination is somewhat rare to see, but I like it. The seller has this great-looking 1975 Ford F-250… more»

55k-Mile 1985 Buick Riviera T-Type

The sixth-generation Riviera, the first to feature front-wheel-drive, was a huge hit. Produced from 1979 to 1985, sales were remarkably steady, with the last of them (the 1985 model) outselling its predecessors…all of them, going back to 1963. The… more»

One Of A Kind: 1932 Auburn Speedster Special

This is a one-of-a-kind offering, a 1932 Auburn Special Speedster that was turned into a race car in the mid-1930s. Now Buick-powered, it’s offered here on eBay in Denver with a jaw-dropping asking price of $175,999. The story goes… more»

Original 396/3-Speed: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Other than a few paint touch-ups and blends over the years, this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS seems to match most of the criteria we like to use here at Barn Finds to deem it a survivor.  The seller doesn’t… more»

Southern Survivor: 1990 Chevrolet 454 SS

Where I grew up, as with most people, I’m guessing, it was Ford vs. Chevy. Being a car guy (car = any motorized vehicle, basically), I like anything and everything now, but I leaned hard toward Ford trucks growing… more»

California Patina: 1963 Chevrolet C-10 SWB

Alright, I’m laying it out here. You know, I’m going to cut to the chase on this Patina thing. I gather from most of my esteemed readers’ contributions that the entire “patina thing” is overdone and not in favor…. more»

Rarest Sting-Ray? 1971 Schwinn Krate Grey Ghost

I like the lighting and location the seller of this 1971 Schwinn Sting-Ray Grey Ghost used when they took these photos. It looks like it’s under a street light or someone snuck into a closed mall and stopped to… more»

60-Year Survivor: 1965 AMC Classic 770

In 1965, American Motors continued to use the Rambler nameplate on its products. That would change in 1967 when only the American was so branded (then gone altogether when that little car was cancelled in 1969). This 1965 Rambler… more»

Babied Since New: 1994 Ford Taurus SHO

The seller of this three-owner 1994 Ford Taurus SHO says it’s been babied since it was new and has just under 60,000 miles. For a car over three decades old, that isn’t a lot of driving fun for a… more»

Loaded with Options: 1968 Ford Mustang California Special

One of the more unique Ford Mustangs ever sold was the original California Special (CS)/ High Country Special. Personally, I consider this one of my favorite Mustang models offered, right up there with the four-eyed Saleen Fox bodies and… more»

$500 Project: 1995 Oldsmobile 88 Royale

At first glance, this 1995 Oldsmobile 88 Royale looks like a bargain, as it’s priced at only $500.  Even after viewing the entire ad, five Ben Franklin bills still sounds fairly reasonable, despite a couple of blunders we’ll investigate… more»

Original 340: 1973 Plymouth Cuda Project

Back in 1970, things were still looking bright for the muscle car market, when the third and final generation of the Plymouth Barracuda was introduced.  However, in what seemed like the blink of an eye, everything from rising insurance… more»

BF Auction: 1963 Ford Thunderbird

I can measure my life as a progression of favorite Thunderbirds. When I was 16, the two-seaters were hot collectibles, and I couldn’t decide if I was in the ’55 or the ’56 camp (I never did figure that… more»

Dirt Nap: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am

How long will a 1970’s era car last exposed to the elements? Does a layer of dirt covering the car help protect it? These are questions we don’t want to find out here at Barn Finds. We would rather… more»

BF Auction: 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

After a successful BF Auction for his 1949 Ford F1, Andy has decided to auction off his other truck. While it’s also a Ford, it’s a bit more modern and functional. This 2003 Explorer Sport Trac is honestly a… more»

29k Original Miles: 1969 Chevrolet Nova

We’ve recently seen a few examples of the Third Generation Chevrolet Nova at Barn Finds, and this 1969 example doesn’t pretend to be something it isn’t. It is a rock-solid vehicle with a V8 under the hood and a… more»
