60k-Mile Survivor: 1967 Imperial by Chrysler

The Imperial had been Chrysler’s top luxury brand since 1926. To help it better compete against Cadillac and Lincoln, it was spun off as a separate make in 1955 (which may or may not have helped). This 1967 edition… more»

Grandpa’s Muscle: 1969 Chevrolet Malibu SS 454

The seller identifies this car as a Malibu SS 454. But in 1969, it was called the Chevelle SS (based on the upscale Malibu) and the 396 cubic inch V8 was the top engine. The new 454 powerplant didn’t… more»

1996 Ford F-350 XLT Crew Cab Diesel 5-Speed

This is a big truck. End of story. Tune in next week and… Isn’t it funny how vintage crew cab pickups seem so much bigger than the “normal” quad or crew cab trucks sold today? This 1996 Ford F-350… more»

Not a Fleetwood: 1958 Cadillac Series 62

It is easy for a seller to portray a car as something it isn’t, and many enthusiasts have been caught flat-footed by what they later discover to be a Tribute or clone of a desirable classic. However, that isn’t… more»

400/4-Speed: 1971 Pontiac GT-37

If the pages of Barn Finds are an accurate guide, Pontiac’s GT-37 is a rare beast. This is only the fourth example we have featured in over a decade, and it is undoubtedly the best. This car’s appeal is… more»

Neglected Restoration: 1989 Lincoln Town Car

Lincoln sold the Town Car as a luxury sedan for more than 30 years (from 1981 to 2011). The nameplate had previously been part of the Lincoln Continental Series. This 1989 version was once a running project that supposedly… more»

Banks Turbo Diesel! 1989 Ford F250 XL 4×4

Looking well-preserved and ready for action, this 1989 Ford F250 XL 4×4 must have lived some kind of charmed life. Many of Ford’s popular F-Series pickups suffer abuse after abuse. Many keep on trucking, but rarely without dents and… more»

42K-Mile Survivor: 1980 Dodge D-50 Pickup

We’ve seen a few of these little rebadged Mitsubishi pickups before here on Barn Finds. I’m partial to these little gems that were sold under the Dodge and Plymouth name in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This 1980… more»

No Reserve: 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited

Writing for Barn Finds, I’m given the opportunity to learn more about cars and trucks that have heretofore blended into the background of my life, and one of them is pictured above. The Jeep is comparatively newer than the collectible… more»

1985 Buick Grand National With 1,190hp!

Buick broke new ground in the 1980s when it released its Grand National range. It turned its back on the concept of powering a muscle car with a V8, adopting a turbocharged V6 offering impressive performance. These cars are… more»

Al Bundy Special: 1975 Plymouth Duster

The Duster was the sporty version of the Plymouth Valiant in the 1970s. It enjoyed a seven-year run before being replaced by the Volare (which turned out to be a lesser product in terms of quality). The Duster got… more»

B-body Daily Driver: 1967 Dodge Coronet 440

The Coronet was Dodge’s mid-size car beginning in 1965, riding on the B-body platform. Four levels of trim were available to buyers in 1967: the Deluxe, 440, 500, and R/T. The seller offers the middle ground 440 model which… more»

A Star Is Born: 1966 Rambler Classic 770

During its time in the American Motors line-up (1961 to 1966), the Rambler Classic was considered the manufacturer’s mid-size car. It was positioned above the compact American and below the Ambassador (at least in terms of trim). The 1966… more»

410 Equipped? 1969 Ford Cobra Barn Find

Yes, that title is a bit confusing – more on that to follow. What we do have here is a genuine 1969 Ford Cobra, a two-door performance model based on the Torino/Fairlane intermediate model. It’s clearly a barn find… more»

Cheap Droptop: 1991 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

If you’ve been looking for an affordable convertible and like the styling of the fourth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, this 1991 model seems reasonably priced at $5,250.  Keep in mind this one’s not quite perfect, and the future owner will have… more»

Nice Cruiser: 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 454

Although some enthusiasts aren’t fans of big-block V8s, it is undeniable that they typically generate enough power and torque to guarantee an effortless driving experience. That is undoubtedly the case with this 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, which is the… more»
