Torino Twin: 1969 Mustang Mach 1

The hood scoop and paint color on this Mach 1 sure looked familiar to me. That could be because they are the same as those found on the Torino GT we just bought! Most people would rather have those two features on… more»

Patina King: 1950 Ford F100

When I think “old pickup truck,” this old Ford is exactly what I think of. Located in Bessemer, Alabama, and offered for sale here on eBay, this truck looks like a perfect candidate for driving it as-is, at least… more»

1976 Mustang II Mach 1: Must Go

Barn Finds reader Frederick M spotted this bargain-basement 1976 Ford Mustang II Mach 1 here on craigslist, with a $300 asking price under the condition the car leaves immediately; otherwise, it has a date with the junkyard. What’s worth noting… more»

1979 Plymouth Volare PPV: Code Blue

When it comes to classic cars used for municipal duties, I’m always a fan. Growing up, there was a fleet of Chrysler K-Cars parked under a federal court building in my hometown, and although they were hardly desirable, I’m… more»

Most Carefully Built: 1962 Imperial LeBaron

“America’s Most Carefully Built Car” was the slogan in the advertisements for the 1962 Imperial. The invitation (mailed to a select few, I’m sure) described a demo car being delivered to the recipient for a “demo-tour” and implied that… more»

What Is It? 1963 Halsey-Crosley

No, it’s not a toy! Thanks to Chevy55 for this unusual find! Located in Benton, Kentucky and listed for sale here on craigslist for $1,500, this 1948 Crosley chassis and running gear was re-bodied in 1962 by the Halsey Machine &… more»

1967 Buick Riviera: Low Mileage Survivor?

Could this 1967 Buick Riviera really have less than 10,000 miles on it? I’m highly skeptical, but this Buick appears to be a nice original car at the reasonable price of $9,700. It has the usual rust around the edges… more»

Luxury Sleeper: 1970 Ford LTD 429/4-Speed

After featuring an LTD the other day, this one really caught my attention. These Luxury Fords have never seemed very exciting to me, but this particular one is different story. The black steelies may have tipped you off to the… more»

1968 Corvette Monster Truck!

While I was attending college at the University of Wyoming, I would often see a Ranchero that clearly had the chassis, engine, and 4×4 system from an large truck installed under it. I often laughed at it (especially when the… more»

Project Package: 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

Lately I have been dreaming about that new Hellcat, so it should come as no surprise that I have also been browsing around for old Mopars. This 1968 Dodge Charger R/T may never sound like a scalded cat, but with a… more»

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28: Real Deal?

Who wouldn’t love to own a Z/28? They looked the part with their duck tail spoiler and racing stripes, but it was what was under the skin that counted. The 302 V8 in the engine bay was the byproduct of Trans… more»

1970 Plymouth Barracuda: Hemi Upgrade

When I first saw this Cuda, I thought I had just discovered the ultimate backyard Mopar. While it is a great find, the seller’s ad is a bit misleading at first. It is advertised as a 1970 Hemi Cuda… more»

Grounded Jet: 1987 Pulse

We thank Barn Finds reader KCapley for continuing the series of unusual finds we’ve been featuring lately by sending us this Pulse. We covered one a long time ago, so based on the manufacturing figure in the ad for this one,… more»

Lincoln Fighter: 1964 Imperial Crown

It’s understandable if you initially mistook this car for a Lincoln. The resemblance is uncanny, but there is reason for that. See, Chrysler had just lured Elwood Engel away from Ford and he was the man responsible for the design of the fourth… more»

Folded Glass: 1977 Chevrolet Impala

A late seventies Impala may not seem all that interesting, but did you know that this was one of America’s top selling cars when it was new? That, and the fact that the Caprice version won Motor Trend’s car… more»

1974 Meyers Manx SR2: Windows Included

A little ways back, Josh wrote up the discovery of a Meyers Manx SR that was used by muscle-car tuner Baldwin Motion. Although far more recognized for their Volkswagen based dune buggy conversions, these scissored-door SRs are a different take… more»
