Chevrolet had a hit on its hands with their new mid-size car in 1964, the Chevelle. The Malibu was the top series and was available with the Super Sport option, providing bucket seats and a console. The 1965 models...

Next to the fastback, the convertible body style is perhaps the most desirable of the original Ford Mustangs (1964 to 1966). The seller has one from 1966, but it’s a project in various states of disassembly. Some new sheet...

Chevrolet redesigned its full-size cars in 1959, going from a big, rounded look to a thinner approach with “batwings” in the rear. The 1959-60 Impala Sport Coupes (aka 2-door hardtops) had an extensive use of glass with the roof...

I feel like there is a much bigger story behind this car than what is being shared on eBay, and that story could make it immensely more appealing. Right now, we have a rusty 1964 Porsche 356C listed with...

This one’s a surprise! It’s a 1967 Chevrolet El Camino, in excellent shape, sporting a 396 CI engine and living life with a four-speed manual transmission. This would normally be a high-dollar seller – not as much as a...

Bench seats and column shifters usually suggest sensible transportation, but this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle combines both with big-block power, a 3.73-geared Positraction rear end, and an exhaust note that the seller describes as decidedly lopey. Restored and modified in...

The original Studebaker Avanti was produced for only two model years, 1963 and 1964. The company canceled it when its auto production shifted to Canada. A couple of Studebaker dealers quickly revived the personal luxury car, and it lived...

It’s easy to see why the ’57 Ford Thunderbird has been a popular collectible for nearly six decades. In the third and final year of the two-seater Thunderbird, the ’57 model offered an attractive styling update. The Ford Styling...

Motorhomes and recreational vehicles have advanced in both technology and size since this 1982 Toyota Citation came along, but they’ve also become exponentially more expensive, and this one seems like a lot of bang for your buck. It’s powered...

I don’t know if this is a good sign or not, but out of the seven 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salons that we’ve seen here on Barn Finds, I’ve written up six of them. I really like the unusual profile...

There are certain cars you’re not surprised to see a long-term, single owner. Fox body Ford Mustangs, De Tomaso Panteras, old-school Ferraris – many significant vehicles like this remain with the same caretaker for decades. It’s the cars that...

The amount of Shelby-modified Dodge products from the 1980s that continue to pop up for sale reminds me how popular these turbocharged econoboxes once were. When you think about how few Dodge Neon ACRs or SRTs ever come up...

We’ve seen a rash of small vintage pickups coming across our collective desks at Barn Finds lately – some in extraordinary condition. Here’s another: this single-owner 1979 Ford Courier has covered only 59,000 miles from new. It is listed...

When you sell more than one million copies of the same car in a single year, what do you do for an encore? That was the challenge for the 1966 Chevrolet Impala after the same auto found more than...

A 1988 Pontiac Grand Am, heh? I remember the Grand Am’s introduction in ’73; it was to be another premium variation on GM’s famous A-body platform. It was even supposed to house the vaunted SD 455 CI engine, but...

When an automobile nameplate lasts for 7 generations, it usually undergoes a few revisions over the years to stay relevant and successful in the marketplace. The Dodge Coronet is no exception, starting out as a full-size offering but switching...

The Montclair was a mid- or top-range Mercury on two occasions (1955 to 1960, 1964 to 1968). It was introduced on a new platform in 1955, and 2-door hardtops like this one were more than two-thirds of Montclair sales...
