Dry Climate Survivor: 1979 Ford Bronco XLT

Ford had a hit on its hand with its Second Generation Bronco. It only remained in production for two years, but total sales outstripped its predecessor’s best eight years combined. This 1979 Bronco XLT is a dry climate survivor… more»

Incredible Performance! 1964 Cheetah

I wasn’t expecting to find this absolutely gorgeous and rare performance car when I started writing my first Barn Finds post in a long time (missed y’all)! The original constructor is still the owner of this Cheetah, which is… more»

1-Of-237: 1969 Dodge Charger Project

Other than those with the 426 cubic inch Hemi V8, the rarest 1969 Dodge Charger is one with a Slant-Six engine. Just 462 of them were built and half of those had a “3-on-the-tree” manual transmission like the seller’s… more»

Will It Run? 1987 Chevrolet Camaro

No keys, no problem? That’s the logic that’s at play with this dusty 1987 Chevrolet Camaro, which comes with no keys and really, no data on whether it’s a runner or otherwise worth rescuing. That may be part of… more»

409 Dual-Quad! 1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe

Sitting on this trailer is a classic with a bit of a story to tell. The seller purchased it from the widow of the previous owner. It has sat since 2010 but is a solid beast that could be… more»

X-Code 390: 1969 AMC Ambassador SST

For its 1968 model year, AMC began offering a trim package available for their Ambassador known as the SST, or Super Sport Touring, taking the luxurious aspect of the full-size car up a notch from the DPL level, which… more»

Convertible Project: 1969 Mercury Cougar 351

Of all the domestic automobile marques that have disappeared as of late, Mercury is the one that has faded the fastest for me. Both Plymouth and Oldsmobile have been gone longer but Plymouth’s memory, at least here on BF,… more»

No Ordinary Stang: 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302

To give it an edge in SCCA competition, Ford built the Mustang Boss 302 in 1969 and 1970. It was designed to conform to series requirements which limited the displacement of engines to 305 cubic inches. The 302 in… more»

Stunning Driver: 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A

“Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.” That was once the mantra adopted by many vehicle manufacturers as they clamored for motorsport success. However, the move towards a growing number of control components across various sedan-based categories has made that… more»

One-Owner Barn Find: 1976 Dodge Aspen R/T

Chrysler decided to replace its aging Plymouth Valiant/Dodge Dart duo in 1976 by coming up with a whole new car. The Plymouth Volare/Dodge Aspen pairing was created to fill the void but stumbled at first with a litany of… more»

17k Original Miles: 1972 Chevrolet Caprice

Subjectively speaking, I would suggest that 1972’s full-size Chevrolet B-body cars were the last of those endowed with an attractive, balanced appearance. While the ’71 and ’72 editions, such as today’s find, a ’72 Caprice coupe, are considerably larger… more»

Story Adding Up For You? 1966 Mustang Coupe

How much story do you need? Apparently, the seller of this 1966 Mustang coupe thinks that just describing his car is not enough. So he supplies a “little old lady” tale which describes an original owner who drove the… more»

Parked In ’76: One-Owner 1967 Plymouth GTX

Plymouth introduced its GTX back in 1967 as sort of a gentleman’s muscle car, taking the concept of luxury in the right direction by providing a higher trim level than the base Belvedere, but also focusing on performance by… more»

Period Build: 1956 LaDawri Sebring

In the mid-1950s, Leslie Albert Dawes and his business partner Don Wright conspired to create a new kind of kit car in Canada, made from the latest material, called fiberglass. The two called their company LaDawri Coachworks, an amalgamation… more»

Green On Green: 1979 Ford Bronco XLT

When we see a desirable vehicle in a slightly unusual color, it’s hard not to covet said vehicle even more than normal. Sure, a square-body truck like a Ford Bronco is sought-after, but there’s oftentimes no sense of urgency… more»

BF Auction: 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

I admire an owner who acknowledges that they will never return a desirable classic to its former glory, but will send it to a new home rather than see it deteriorate beyond the point of no return. That is… more»
