Adam Clarke — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 04:00:00 +0000

We see our share of classic Pickups at Barn Finds, and their ongoing popularity makes the trend understandable. Genuine survivors make ideal project candidates, regardless of an owner’s vision for the vehicle. This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup was recently...

Scotty Gilbertson — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 03:00:00 +0000

If you’re of a certain age, you can’t help but have the “Volare” song in your head every time we see a Plymouth Volare here on Barn Finds. “Volare, oh oh – Cantare, oh oh oh oh…” This time...

Low Mileage Survivor! 1980 AMC Pacer Wagon

Michelle Rand — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Before we launch into a review of AMC’s Pacer, let’s establish a modicum of credibility for a car that doesn’t always get the respect it deserves. First, Brigitte Bardot owned a Pacer, a wagon version complete with faux wood...

Project Truck: 1979 Dodge Lil’ Red Express

Jeff Lavery — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 19:00:00 +0000

If an old muscle truck is what you seek, you could do far worse than a classic Dodge Lil’ Red Express pickup. To me, this was one of the coolest marketing exercises ever attempted by a major manufacturer, with...

1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with 9k Genuine Miles!

Adam Clarke — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 17:00:00 +0000

Every classic car has a backstory, and some are more fascinating than others. The seller provides little information regarding the history of this 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, so we are in the dark about how a car with forty-five...

BF Auction: 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T

Adam Clarke — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 16:00:00 +0000

The 1960s muscle car war was in full swing by 1967, with Chrysler marques producing some of the most potent offerings available. This was graphically demonstrated by cars like this genuine 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T. It features the sector’s...

Carport Find! 1969 Ford Mustang Grande

Jim ODonnell — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

There is absolutely no shortage of 1969 Ford Mustangs here on BF but not many are the Grande version – a sort of luxury notchback edition, first offered in ’69. Nope, it’s the fastbacks (SportsRoof), often in Mach I...

75k Original Miles: 1990 Cadillac Allanté

Adam Clarke — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Releasing an entirely new model is a practice that automotive manufacturers avoid where possible. It is a high-risk venture, and carrying over as many components as possible from other offerings within the product range reduces the risk of sales...

Last Year: 1975 International Travelette 200

Scotty Gilbertson — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 04:00:00 +0000

It’s always a gamble to list anything as the first, biggest, smallest, oldest, etc. That being said, many sources list the International Travelette as the first factory crew cab pickup. Can you think of an earlier example than the...

California Wagon: 1978 Mercury Marquis 400 V8

Scotty Gilbertson — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:00:00 +0000

“Woodgrain, or not woodgrain, that is the question”, to paraphrase Bill Shakespeare, who I’m just assuming would have been a big fan of full-sized Mercury station wagons. The seller has beautifully presented this 1978 Mercury Marquis Wagon here on...

BF Auction: 1968 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

Jim ODonnell — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 18:55:00 +0000

Well, here’s one that I know a little bit about, having owned a similar car for many years, it’s a 1968 Chevrolet Impala convertible, built in the days when full-sized cars ruled and top-downing it was still popular. The...

BF Auction: 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III

Adam Clarke — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 18:05:00 +0000

Life in the fast lane isn’t always what an enthusiast seeks when searching for a classic car to park in their garage. Isolating themselves in a vehicle offering a luxurious motoring experience can prove irresistible, which is the opportunity...

Motor-Swapped! 1947 Lincoln Club Coupe

Todd Fitch — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 18:00:00 +0000

Lincoln brochures claimed “Nothing could be finer…” than its lineup for ’47, and this 1947 Lincoln Club Coupe in Astoria, New York would have set you apart from your plebian neighbors, especially when you popped the hood to show...

Triple Black Beauty: 1970 Cadillac Eldorado

Mike Stephens — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 14:03:24 +0000

By the time the seventies decade rolled around, the Eldorado was already well into and nearing the end of its eighth generation of production, with the 1970 model featuring Cadillac’s new 500 cubic-inch V8 under the hood for the...

Shed Find: 1926 Ford Model T Coupe

Michelle Rand — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 04:56:16 +0000

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...

One Family Owned: 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

Adam Clarke — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 01:00:00 +0000

This 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 is not a genuine barn find but a classic worthy of close inspection. It is an original and unmolested survivor. That is not particularly rare, but it features some desirable options and has been...

Are Prices Crashing? 1939 Lincoln Victoria by Brunn

Jeff Bennett — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 23:00:00 +0000

While the crushing forces of inflation are steadily robbing our pockets of buying power, some segments of the classic car market are experiencing the opposite force of deflation. Like a black hole, the value of vehicles in these segments...
