Mustang’s Inspiration: 1965 Ford Falcon Sprint

Many consider the Ford Falcon Sprint to be the forerunner of the highly successful Mustang. It was sporty, came only in coupe and convertible body styles, and could be quite peppy. All of that describes the Mustang, which was… more»

Rolling Droptop Project: 1963 Ford Galaxie 500

Both Chevy and Ford largely carried over their 1962 full-size cars into 1963, but both received styling updates of which (IMO) Ford’s execution may have been a bit more attractive. But that didn’t help Ford in the sales arena… more»

Woodie Wagon: 1969 Ford Torino Squire

Who remembers the “Woodie” wagons of the 1940s and 1950s, when they made station wagon bodies out of real wood? They got too expensive to produce and maintain, so cheaper steel-bodied wagons became the thing. But they kept their… more»

Shed Find: 1926 Ford Model T Coupe

If we were in Hollywood – instead of perusing the pages of Barn Finds – the Model T would be an über-celebrity. It sold more than 15 million copies, it was reliable enough to put everyman on wheels, it… more»

Garage Find: 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

We’ve all been there: a small project spirals into a big one, and suddenly, we’re surrounded by boxes of old and new parts and our car is no where near complete. That appears to be the case with this… more»

Old-School Cool: 1934 Ford 3-Window Coupe

I sometimes wonder whether we ever reach an age where using the word “cool” to describe something is no longer appropriate. I hope not because that word perfectly suits this 1934 Ford 3-Window Coupe. It has been created to… more»

Assembly Required: 1938 Ford 5-Window Coupe

Ford lost the sales game to Chevrolet in 1936, so their automobiles for 1937-38 would be all new. The redesign enabled Ford to reclaim the top spot in ’37, but an economic recession in ’38 would erase all the… more»

Original Driver: 1992 Ford Mustang LX Convertible

No, this pretty blue Mustang wasn’t photographed on a steep incline or upgrade. For some reason, the seller took only portrait mode photos (maybe he/she has a landscape photo mode phobia) and most feature the Mustang at an extreme… more»

Restoration Required: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1

We see a reasonable number of 1969 Mach 1 Mustangs cross our desks at Barn Finds. This is hardly surprising considering the production total and how desirable they remain. This example requires total restoration, but it appears the pieces… more»

Possible Pace Car Tribute? 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner

The list of vehicles tapped on the shoulder to serve as the Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500 is long, but the Ford Crestline Sunliner received the honor in 1953. The seller located this example in a barn. While… more»

Good Starting Point: 1965 Mustang 2+2 Fastback

The Fastback that started it all—that’s what’s sitting on eBay right now awaiting your offer in the form of a 1965 Mustang 2+2. So far, only one person has placed a bid, and that price is $24,900. The auction… more»

Ready To Drive! 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible

The wildly popular Ford Mustang got its first styling refresh in 1967. Sales fell 22% but that’s because they finally had some real competition. That came in the form of the Chevy Camaro and the others that would follow…. more»

R-Code 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback Project

This multi-colored painted pony might have been someone’s dream, a labor-intensive project to make a 428-powered weapon from a discarded pile of parts. Though still in parts, this 1968 Ford Mustang fastback has enjoyed enough work to help buyers… more»

No Reserve BF Auction: 1971 Ford Ranchero

This 429 V8-equipped Ford Ranchero project has clearly lived an interesting life. The seller purchased it five years ago, and it was a daily driver at the time. They drove it for a while and then decided to sell… more»

Bone Stock: 1999 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

There was a time when terms like SVT, AMG, and Mazdaspeed used to mean something: brutally fast vehicles with as many suspension upgrades as performance enhancements. It seems like more and more ordinary vehicles are getting badges plastered on… more»

Ready to Restore? 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1

The Mach 1 arrived in 1969 as Ford was looking to boost sagging Mustang sales. It was all about performance at first, but the emphasis shifted more to style after that. With a fastback body referred to as a… more»
