Canadian Supercar! 1986 Fortvac Bernardi

Only eighteen Fortvac Bernardis are thought to have been made in St-Henri de Levis, Quebec, Canada, at least that’s how the legend goes.  They were marketed as a gull-winged “production” supercar rather than as a kit car. The 1986… more»

440 Sleeper: 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger

Back in the day, if you saw this car coming down the road, you probably wouldn’t give it a second look. After all, it was just another Dart Swinger that Dodge made 120,000 copies of for 1970, right? Wrong…. more»

Chevy V8: 1965 Studebaker Cruiser

By the time the 1965 Studebaker models went on sale, their South Bend, Indiana plant had closed, and all production transferred to Hamilton, Ontario. And with it went Studebaker’s source of engines, so the 1965-66 models were powered by… more»

Fishbowl Find: 1966 GM TDH-4519 Bus

The “New Look” municipal transit bus was produced from 1958 to 1977 by the Truck and Coach Division of General Motors. It’s commonly referred to as the “Fishbowl” for its six-piece rounded windshield that was later replaced by a… more»

Fitch’s Folly! Todd’s 1981 Imperial by Chrysler

Life is too short for boring cars! Having to decide *not* to buy an old car once a week comes with the territory here at Barnfinds, and last week, for the first time in three years, I bought one… more»

Wild ’70s Turbocharged Custom!

We’ve seen some wild finds over the years, but this might just be the craziest one yet! The seller clearly has an interest in oddball vehicles, just take a look at the cars in the background. They don’t offer… more»

Canadian Convertible! 1965 Acadian Beaumont

The American automobile market only gets certain makes and models when new, and back in the day, the Acadian was one such example that didn’t make it to the U.S. This nice example is for sale here on eBay… more»

BF Classifieds Find: 1923 Gray-Dort

Some of the most unusual finds I’ve ever seen come up through our own Barn Finds Classifieds! This 1923 Gray-Dort is a Canadian product that was apparently restored around 2001 (more about that later) and converted from a touring… more»

Rare Original: 1956 Mercury M250

These 1956 Mercury M250 trucks are already rare to begin with, just 6,959 were built in ’56, and this one has some features that make it even more unique, which we will discuss below. It is located in Sweet… more»

Real Big 10! 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado

If you aren’t familiar with the “Big 10” package on Chevy pickups, think of it as a heavy-half. It’s a 1/2-ton pickup that is set up for towing with a 12,000lb. gross combined weight rating. This particular 1978 Chevy… more»

Barn-Kept! 1952 GMC New Design Farm Truck

Considering this GMC spent nearly its entire life in a barn, we can’t say it was “found” there. Nevertheless, this 1952 GMC 300 pickup in Sweet Grass, Montana seeks a new owner here on eBay where bidding has surpassed… more»

One Solid Truck: 1949 Mercury M68 Survivor

The guys up in Sweet Grass, Montana just keep finding more great old Canadian trucks! I’m honestly not sure how they do it, but I hope they can keep finding ones like this Mercury! Of all the late ’40s… more»

Side-By-Side Snowmobile: 1978 Ski-Doo Elite

This 1978 Ski-Doo Elite is so far above anything that we had when I was a kid growing up in snow country. We had old, used, usually somewhat beat-up small snowmobiles that we ended up repainting and trying to… more»

Canadian Chevy: 1957 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

While it has been advertised as a Chevrolet 3100 Pickup, the “1300” badges on either side of the hood indicate that this Pickup hails from Canada. It looks to be a really solid old vehicle, and would potentially make… more»

Wrong Year? 1950 Chevrolet Pickup

The owner of this Chevrolet 1314 Pickup has listed it as a 1950 model, but the VIN number, along with a few of the body features, indicates that it is actually a 1952 model. It is a fairly solid… more»
