Luxurious Finned Project: 1960 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

Factory Big Block: 1971 GMC Sprint

As a college kid, I spent a summer working at the local automotive paint store as a delivery driver. One day, I showed up to find a derelict car parked in the corner of our gravel parking lot, a… more»

Dusty One Owner: 1968 Dodge Charger

The layer of dust covering this 1968 Dodge Charger suggests it hasn’t seen much recent action. The information supplied by the seller is limited, but it has generated plenty of interest. It seems that some people can see potential… more»

BF Auction: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

By 1970, the American muscle car trend was reaching the end of the road. Manufacturers knew that tougher emission and safety regulations were just around the corner, while insurance companies also made life tough. It was against this backdrop… more»

Early Muscle Car: 1926 Hudson Super Six

The official history of automobiles is littered with hundreds of companies once part of the market.  Some were even major players.  Hudson was one of the largest and most innovative American automakers before vanishing from the scene in 1957… more»

14k Original Miles: 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible

The seller describes this 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible as being in “like new” condition. The listing images support the claim, and with only 14,000 miles on its odometer, it is hardly surprising. It comes with a large… more»

Factory 400: 1979 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT

It is fair to say that by 1979, the Broco had cemented its place in Ford’s model range. After disappointing sales during the lifespan of the First Generation, the Bronco climbed into six-figure territory for the first time. These… more»

Needs An Engineering Mind: 1957 Chevy Bel Air 4X4

This is the dream you didn’t know you had—a tri-five Chevrolet that’s been transformed into a four-wheel-drive snow carver. What did you say? You’ve never even thought about such a thing? Well, someone in Nogales, Arizona did it for… more»

Parked For 30 Years: 1965 Ford Mustang A-Code

If this 1965 Ford Mustang proves anything, it is that the supply of promising classics hidden in sheds is unlikely to dry up in the near future. It spent thirty years in storage but hasn’t suffered unduly from the… more»

Small Survivor: 1974 Harley-Davidson X-90

We’ve seen a few Aermacchi Harley-Davidson matchups here on Barn Finds over the years, from the era when companies were experimenting with anything and everything. It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of experimenting going on now, everything is… more»

Butterscotch Project: 1971 Dodge Super Bee

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Super Bee was to Dodge as the Road Runner was to Plymouth. Both were B-body mid-size muscle cars, focused on budget-minded performance enthusiasts. The Road Runner had a lengthy career and sold in… more»

9-Passenger Green Machine: 1972 Dodge Monaco Wagon

UPDATE – There’s an old expression, “Third time’s a Charm,” that would seem to be appropriate for this clean and very green 1972 Dodge Monaco 9-Passenger Wagon. This is the third time we’ve featured it on Barn Finds in… more»

Sun-Baked Bubble Top: 1961 Chevrolet Impala

Chevrolet restyled their cars in 1961, replacing the so-called “batwings” of 1959-60. The appearance of automobiles was less radical as the excesses of the late 1950s were fading away. 1961 would be the last year of the Impala with… more»

Stroked 427 Five Speed! 1964 Ford Fairlane

Take a two-door Fairlane post car with original paint, one that covered a mere 16,000 miles in 60 years. Stuff a stroked 427 V8 under the hood, add a five-speed manual transmission, stiffened chassis, and other performance parts, and… more»

Tri-Five Project: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

This 1957 Chevrolet has gotten a few mods over the years, but from the looks of things, it’s probably been quite some time since this one’s seen much activity on the pavement.  However, there are several positives here, such… more»

What Would You Do?: 1950 Buick Super Riviera

Years before the Riviera became the personal-luxury coupe we know and love, it was a title denoting a body style, the “hardtop convertible” as it was sometimes called. The Riviera hardtop was introduced in 1949 as a Roadmaster and… more»
