Supercharged Saleen Fox Body. :FordSmile

[h=1]EXCLUSIVE: 1989 Saleen Mustang Convertible ($3k Price Drop!)[/h]
image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/1989-Saleen-Mustang-Convertible-630x354.jpg

UPDATE 3/15/17 – Jason has decided to drop the price to $15,500. That seems fair for such an exclusive and potent machine!

FROM 2/26/17 – Now this is an interesting and fun find! The Fox body Mustang can be quite the fun machine in stock form, but after Saleen got their hands on this convertible, it should be an all out rocket. The 302 V8 has been worked over, with a Vortex Supercharger to give it a little extra kick! When it was brand new, this was likely the fastest convertible around, heck it’s probably still fast by modern standards. Jason F found this Mustang back in 2012, drove it a little and then parked it in the garage and that’s where it’s been since. Rather than let it go to waste, they’ve decided it’s time for it to go to a new home. If you’d love to be the next owner of #716, you can find it in Greenville, South Carolina with an asking price of $18,500 $15,500. If interested, please use the contact form below!

As great as Saleen’s body kit and interior are, you didn’t buy one of these for the visuals. You bought it for what is under the hood. Saleen worked the 302 over and strapped a Vortech supercharger to it, bring horsepower up to nearly 300! I know, you can buy a new Mustang and get more power than that and still get better fuel mileage, but you won’t have something nearly as special as this.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/1989-Saleen-Mustang-Supercharger-630x394.jpg

Here is that supercharger in all of its forced induction glory! It’s amazing that such a simple bolt-on part could add so much performance to this Mustang.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/1989-Saleen-Mustang-Convertible-Interior-630x385.jpg

The interior is a mixture of factory Ford parts and custom Saleen bits. The seats are probably most eye catching upgrade, but they also changed out the steering wheel, shifter, gauge cluster and door panels. As supportive and sporty as the seats are, I would be perfectly happy with a pair of cloth buckets, what I would be excited about is the short shifter and sporty steering wheel. This was actually the last year for this style of steering wheel, in ’90 they left the air bag equipped factory wheel.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/1989-Saleen-Mustang-Convertible-2-630x354.jpg

This Saleen doesn’t really need anything other than a good home and to be driven! If I were in the market it for a specialty Fox body, I would want the hatchback, but this convertible would be fun with the top down and they only built 165 of these drop tops.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/1989-Saleen-Mustang-Convertible-Intake-630x354.jpg

From Amanda (Jason’s Wife) – So we have had this Saleen since 2012.And mechanically it is perfect.We aren’t gear heads so everything is stock. My husband had the rear end changed out. The mileage is around 51,000. The paint is original and it should be restored for max beauty! And also top needs to be replaced…but that is normal wear and tear. The supercharged engine will keep up with anything stock around. Let me know if you have any questions.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/1989-Saleen-Mustang-Convertible-3-630x354.jpg

As far as story… my husband bought it from one of his customers… he runs a bread route. A restaurant owner sold it to him because he wanted a ’60s Mustang. And we know that prior to restaurant owner, John, it come out of Florida. John bought it from his cousin. I will miss this car immensely, but we don’t have time to enjoy it… and it needs to be on display and shown off! When we have taken her to drive-ins… she is a show stopper!

Cool Old AMC.
[h=1]Something Different: 1973 AMC Javelin[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1973-AMC-Javelin-630x394.jpg

If you’re looking for something a little different, then this AMC Javelin may be perfect for you. It’s not as common as a Mustang or Camaro, but was still built in large enough quantities that you can find parts and support if needed. This one is claimed to have lived with the same family all its life and was just recently repainted. That may be a negative for some, but it does look like a quality job. It’s located in Bucyrus, Ohio and is listed here on eBay with the option to bid or buy it now.



image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/None-Turtle-Back-Seats-630x394.jpg

AMC made many changes to the Javelin in ’73. Besides the negatives like bumper guards and emissions equipment, there were also some improvements too. New slimmer seats made it easier to sit in the back and the doors were strengthened up a bit. As you can see, this one still needs some cosmetic attention on the inside. A few of the seams have pulled loose and some of the plastic pieces have cracked. This thing came with an automatic, power steering, and air conditioning, so it should make for a comfortable cruiser.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/AMC-360-V8-630x394.jpg

Power was provided by this 360 V8. Although not the largest engine available in ’73, it definitely wasn’t the smallest either. There were a couple of six cylinders available and a 304 V8 so this one sat at the upper end of the option list. I’m not liking the amount of black spray paint that I’m seeing here, but the seller claims that the engine runs great and that it will light up the rear tires with ease.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Luggage-Rack-630x394.jpg

The luggage rack looks very AMC for some reason and I love it! The distinctive curved haunches of the Javelin are what really make it standout in the sea of pony cars though. There were quite a few of these produced, but nothing in comparison to offerings from Ford and Chevy. It may not be as handsome or popular as the other guys, but sometimes it’s nice to go with the underdog. So, would any of you actually prefer this to the other options out there?

[h=1]41 Year Barn Nap: 1960 Chevrolet Corvette[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/60-chevrolet-corvette-red-1-630x354.jpg
Could you imagine how exhilarating it would have been to have found this 1960 Chevrolet Corvette convertible? After 41 years in a barn, this ’60 ‘Vette began its like as a Fuelie car, that was later converted to carburation. Although the owner planned a for a full restoration, this Chevy looks clean and straight, with only the bumpers and drivetrain removed and disassembled. With no specific price listed, the seller is open to offers. Find it here on craigslist out of New Baltimore, Michigan. Thank you to Barn Finds reader Ryan for this great submission!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/60-chevrolet-corvette-red-4-630x420.jpg
Completely dismantled, the 283 is described as complete, and in suitable condition. In the image above you can see the “Fuel Injection” badges that once graced this fine machine. The block is not in view, but other valuable components like the 4 speed transmission are shown in the “parts” images. It does not appear that any of the Rochester fuel injection parts remained with the car though time.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/60-chevrolet-corvette-red-3-630x420.jpg
Although described as being original, the seats and door panels were reupholstered with groovy crushed velvet. There is no carpet, but aside from that the interior appears very complete and original. The steering wheel and dash look very nice, with bright vibrant coloring and no cracking. The factory Wonder Bar radio is not currently installed, but is included with the car. This Vette is a convertible and features the optional hardtop. The convertible top frame is present, but the cloth top is no longer of use.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/60-chevrolet-corvette-red-2-630x420.jpg
Overall the paint and body work on this Corvette looks great. The paint is still shiny, with no evidence of damage, or sun fade. Appearing as if this was someone’s hot rod back in the day, this sports car is equipped with 5 slot mags. Even though the exterior of this Corvette isn’t perfect, it is still very nice if it is truly original paint. One may consider rebuilding the drivetrain, and making this one a driver in its current condition. Ditch the wheels and interior for original parts, and you would be left with a nice looking original paint Chevy. Although restoring the Rochester fuel injection could get pricey. What would you do with this Corvette? Full restoration, or maintain the paint and rebuild the drivetrain?

[h=1]Tempting Survivor: 1970 Pontiac Tempest[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/70-pontiac-tempest-survvivor-1-630x355.jpg
Some prefer specific makes, and models, but many times I find myself falling in love any classic car that is in excellent condition. This 1970 Pontiac Tempest is a beautiful survivor with only one owner all of its life. Now looking to part ways to a new owner this original condition, ready to drive, beauty is a very reasonably priced $6,500. Find it here on craigslist out of Plantation, Florida. Thank you Pat L for the beautiful submission!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/70-pontiac-tempest-survvivor-3-630x420.jpg
Although green may not be everyone’s favorite color, Pontiac was spot on with their green color choices for this ’70 Tempest. There is always something so refreshing about seeing such a nice condition original. The bench seat and its fabric are excellent. It is clear the original owner took great car of this Pontiac. The flooring is a little dark and perhaps dirty, otherwise this interior is superb. Sadly there is no photo of the engine, but I am willing to bet it is clean enough to eat off of, if you don’t mind a few particles here and there in your food. Powered by a 350 V8 with an automatic transmission, this Pontiac is a base model with no air conditioning, and sadly no power brakes.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/70-pontiac-tempest-survvivor-2-630x355.jpg
With a lovely glow, the metallic paint still shines like new. There is absolutely no evidence of rust, or body damage. The chrome is beautiful, and even the hub caps with white walls are tidy and clean. I am sold on this Pontiac for its condition alone, but I also favor that it has 2 doors, and a lovely green paint job. It would be a dream come true if this one was equipped with air conditioning, but compromises must be made when you find survivors like this ’70 Tempest. Are you tempted by this beautiful survivor?

[h=1]In The Family Again: 1969 Oldsmobile 442 W-30[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/o2-2-630x355.jpg
This beautiful 1969 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 restovivor comes along with a lot of documentation and a neat story. After a short time with the original owner, the current owner’s brother purchased the car in early 1970 and eventually sold it to the current owner’s best friend in 1974. Fast forward to 2002 and the seller purchased it from that best friend. Now it’s up for sale here on eBay, with spirited bidding having topped $35,000 so far. It’s located in Lincoln, Nebraska, not too far from where it was originally purchased.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/o3-2-630x355.jpg
I’m guessing someone doesn’t like Road Runners! The fact that this is a special ordered color (documented), a four speed 442 W-30 and in pretty darn nice shape, even with claimed 60% original paint is pretty remarkable. The only non-stock items are the wheels (originals are included with the sale) and the exhaust, which is not very hard to return to original (although I’m betting you wouldn’t after listening to it).
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/o1-2-630x355.jpg
The clean lines of this generation Cutlass/442 are very evident in this photo. No question; this car was intended to both look fast and go fast. The odometer shows 96,286 miles from new, and the seller has provided much more information (and contact info if you want more) than the typical advertisement I see. Thanks go to reader Bob J. for spotting that advertisement and sending it in to us!
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/o4-2-630x355.jpg
The seat covers and parcel tray are newly fitted reproduction items; everything else, including the carpet, dash, steering wheel, 8-track tape player and headliner are all the original items. And it’s nice to see that shifter!
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/o6-630x355.jpg
While obviously a driver rather than a concours winner, the underside of the car looks to be in great shape as well.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/o5-1-630x355.jpg
Now this is special. Really. The original engine has just been professionally rebuilt and has less than 100 miles on it! The car actually spent a lot of time with a 455 in place, but thankfully the original unit has followed it around. Not only that, but the original accessories and attachments as well! I know this is a premium price, but in my opinion you are getting a premium car for it. What do you readers think of this 442 W-30?

[h=1]Best Barn Find Ever? 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/m1-1-630x354.jpg

After appearing on the cover of the November 2016 Car Craft, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 barn find has been listed for sale here on eBay. It was apparently called “The Most Amazing 1970 Chevelle SS396 Barn Find Ever” according to the seller, and while I’m not too sure about that, the car is certainly interesting. It’s located in Phoenix, Arizona.



image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/m6-630x354.jpg

As you can see, the seller wasn’t kidding – it was on the cover of the magazine. Apparently this car languished in a storage lot in California for many, many years. Why someone would let a car like this sit is beyond me, but I’m glad someone rescued it!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/m2-1-630x354.jpg

The car looks very sun-baked, but it is possible that this is what’s left of the original Cortez Silver paint. You can see some corrosion beyond the surface as well in spots. I love the bias-ply tires with the letter designation; I haven’t seen those in a long, long time! I like the rallye wheels as well.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/m3-1-630x354.jpg

I wonder if the seller would throw in a few of the signs? And I also wonder whether it makes sense from a value standpoint to restore this car or not. And that’s one of the reasons (the price tag is certainly another one) that I’ll leave this car for someone else. This is just a little too shabby looking for me to leave it alone and be happy.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/m5-1-630x354.jpg

The interior fits the same mold as the exterior. Tatty but complete and original. Here’s a list of the options on this car per the build sheet:
RPO-L78 396 cubic inch – 375 horsepower solid lifter V8
RPO-M21 Muncie 4 speed transmission
RPO-G80 positraction 12 bolt rear end with 4.10 gear
RPO-U14 tach and gauges
RPO-ZL2 cowl induction hood
RPO-D88 black stripes
Additionally, we know that the paint was code 14 14 Cortez Silver and the interior reflects code 756, black bucket seats with a console.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/m4-1-630x354.jpg

And here is that big V8! It doesn’t run at the moment and we’re not given any additional mechanical information apart that the car will roll onto and off of a trailer. What do you think – is this storage lot discovery the best barn find ever?

Serious Muscle !
[h=1]EXCLUSIVE: 1970 Ford Torino 429 Cobra Jet[/h]
image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1970-Torino-Cobra-Jet-630x406.jpg

Reader Paul S has quite the amazing find parked in his garage! He found this Torino 429 Cobra Jet in California about 12 years ago. It had been parked for years and was in need of a new home. He transported it to Frantown, Colorado and then put it in storage and that’s where it has remained ever since. He’s done some work to it recently and has it running and driving, but it still needs more work to be a real show stopper though. He’s asking $20,000 for it and it is still in Frantown, Colorado. If you’d love to give this Torino a new home, be sure to message him via the form below!



image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1970-Torino-Cobra-Jet-2-630x394.jpg

I know what your thinking, $20k is a lot of money for a Tornio project, but remember they didn’t build many 429 Cobra Jet powered Torinos. Nice Torino 429s can fetch up to six figures, given that this one is solid with a straight body, original paint under the primer and a fully rebuilt engine, it seems to me like an incredible buy! I would try to carefully remove the grey primer to see how the original gold paint is looking. Chances are it will need a new coat of paint, but I think it would be well worth the effort to try and save the original paint.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1970-Torino-429-Cobra-Jet-Engine-630x473.jpg

These cars were quite quick when new, especially given their size. There were several performance levels offered with the 429, from 360 horsepower up to 375. This Cobra is packing the middle level engine with a cool 370 horsepower. The optional Shaker hood should help the engine breath a little better during those sprints down the quarter mile, while making this one mean looking machine! Paul has already rebuilt the engine, installed a new radiator, and installed a new Flow Master exhaust to make sure it runs and sounds great.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1970-Torino-Cobra-Jet-8-630x394.jpg

The interior looks to be in decent shape, but Paul admits it will need a new headliner, the dash is cracking and the steering wheel could probably use being replaced. The dash will be the most difficult piece to find, but it might be easier to have it refurbished.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1970-Torino-Cobra-Jet-3-630x354.jpg

It might not be in perfect condition, but it really doesn’t look like a huge project to undertake at this point. Paul has done most of the heavy lifting already. The paint is a bit of a bummer, but you never know what you might find under the primer. Some careful work might just reveal decent paint underneath and a cool patina. These really are grand and impressive machines, especially when you consider something his heavy is capable of hitting 60 mph in just 6 seconds! I can see why they are fetching so much money these days.

I drove a few of these back in 95, 96. 260 HP and 335 Foot Pounds of Torque. Basically the Police Package with Leather and low profile tires. (I drove the Police Package every day, and a few Impala SS's that my friend had as Company Car, he works for GM.)
[h=1]Pace Car Tribute: 1995 Impala SS Brickyard[/h] image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/00V0V_41ClsXpixiv_1200x900-e1489971956407-630x329.jpg
Over the years, racing events like the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500 have inspired numerous marketing opportunities, not the least of which is the creation of tribute cars to commemorate a brand’s involvement as the official pace car leading the field. However, some of these spinoffs can fall flat, resulting in nothing more than window dressing on an otherwise stock car. This Brickyard edition Chevy Impala SS here on craigslist is a new one to me, so check it out and let us know if you remember seeing these when new.

image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/00B0B_6cPDd5dVNQM_1200x900-e1489971993848-630x390.jpg
Now, I love the Impala SS. This is such a badass car in every respect, so let’s forget about the Brickyard connection for a moment. The blacked out body, subtle trunk spoiler, five-point alloy wheels and fat rubber – the list goes on for ways the Impala SS was distinguished from its more ordinary siblings, but the best part was how unassuming it was. It didn’t need a bunch of stickers to make it something special; hell, you’d be hard-pressed to find the SS badges if you didn’t know where to look.
image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/00k0k_423CVbNBTr2_1200x900-e1489972019929-630x339.jpg
Of course, the best part of the package was the LT1 small-block V8 lifted from the Corvette, paired to a transmission that didn’t exactly have the best reputation for durability. These special edition Impalas also benefitted from a limited-slip and a lowered suspension. Inside was pretty much standard GM fare for the era – acres of gray plastic, gray carpeting and gray leather. Fortunately, you were there for the performance of that retuned Corvette motor, not the interior luxuries. This odd Brickyard edition looks exactly the same inside as other Impala SSs.
image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/sc0509-79067_1-e1489972037486-630x291.jpg
Image courtesy of Mecum Auctions Now, here’s what the actual pace car looked like from race day. Hunter green paint and some different stickers, but for the most part, a bone-stock SS. Which leads me to believe that the seller’s car is merely an attempt to dress up a standard SS. Now, I’m happy to be proven wrong if Chevy actually rolled out a special edition Brickyard version nationwide, but if you’re checking out the ad, just go for the SS and not the “special sauce”.

[h=1]Serious Muscle: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1969-Chevrolet-Chevelle-SS-396-630x355.jpg

Here’s an awesome project for the bowtie fans! This Hugger Orange Chevelle SS has a 396 V8 and a close-ratio 4-speed. Doesn’t get much better than that! Unfortunately, this one has also seen better days. It’s has been ridden hard and put away wet, so it’s rusted out and run down. Still, the vision of what this could become should be enough to motivate someone to rescue it. Let’s just hope iconic muscle car goes to someone with the resources to do it right. It’s located in Dunellen, New Jersey and is listed here on eBay with no reserve and bidding ending soon!



image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/396-Cubic-Inches-630x355.jpg

There’s the heart of this beast! The seller states that the 396 block is from ’68 and that the L78 HI-PO heads and intake are dated ’69. It’s obvious that this car has been messed with and possibly raced, but at least you have the important bits here. Plan on having to rebuild and refinish everything here. This is going to be a big project, so newbies need not apply. We aren’t trying to be mean. We would just hate to see this cool muscle machine sit in someone’s backyard and deteriorate even more.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Muncie-Shifter-630x354.jpg

That shifter is connected to a Muncie M21 transmission and was intended for high performance applications. This car may seem like a smorgasbord of parts, but the transmission and 12 bolt rearend are claimed to be numbers matching. It can be hard to determine what a Chevy originally left the factory with because they didn’t stamp drivetrain details on the trim tag. It contained the info needed for Fisher to paint and trim out the body, so it might take some detective work to determine if this car left the factory with a 396.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Spare-Body-630x355.jpg

The sale includes a less-rusty body and a bunch of spare parts. They also have the factory correct rims, but I hope they keep the 5-spokes as drag racing shoes. It’s going to take a lot of time and money before this thing is going to be hitting the dragstrip though. This serious muscle car is a seriously big project. Hopefully, someone steps up and makes it happen. Do you think you have what it takes?

[h=1]Two-Seat Project: 1970 AMC AMX[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/032217-Barn-Finds-1970-AMC-AMX-1-630x315.jpg

This all-original California car is a 1970 AMC AMX and you can see that someone has been doing a bit of work on that original paint at some point. The seller says that it has “mostly original paint”. It’s listed on Hemmings for $13,500 and it’s located in Bakersfield, California. Thanks to Sal S for submitting this AMX!

These two-seaters are typically valued, and priced, below other contemporary muscle cars of the era. The AMX was the only steel-bodied two-seater at the time of their short run. 1970 was the last year for the AMX in its short three-year run and they aren’t as plentiful as Mustangs or Camaros are, so rarity doesn’t always equate to value.

The bodywork blends in with the driveway, says Captain Obvious. Hopefully there weren’t any big rust issues that someone was trying to correct but I’m guessing the edge of the trunk lid could have been a problem area as with a lot of other cars.

Well, the seats certainly can’t be original. But, the important part is that 4-speed, and this car also has AC but no word as to if it blows cold or not.

This is a 1970-only 360 cubic-inch V8 with 285 hp. It looks like it could use as much cosmetic work as the exterior could, and they say that the car “runs and drives, but needs TLC/resto.” This car is priced right in-between Hagerty’s #3 “good” and #4 “fair” value. What are your thoughts on this one? Could you take on the work and bring this car back to where it should be?

[h=1]Stupid Fast: 1963 Lotus Seven Twin Cam[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1963-Lotus-Seven-630x395.jpg
As some of you are aware, I’m the proud owner of a Blakely Hawk (it wants to be a Lotus Seven), but I’ve had a hard time deciding what exactly to do with it. Well, that was until I saw this real Lotus Seven! Holy cow, I think I’m going to have to repaint my car red and find a set of Minilites! Alright, so there is a lot more to what makes this car so incredibly cool than the paint and wheels. For one, it’s a real Lotus with a dry sump twin cam engine. It also helps that it has documented race history. If you’d like to do more than drool over it, you can buy it here on eBay. It’s in Spokane, Washington with a BIN of $29,975.


image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Lotus-Seven-630x297.jpg

There are few sports car as iconic as the Seven, well at least in my book. These cars are giant slayers and they don’t do it with a big engine, but by being incredibly lightweight. This second generation Seven weighs in around 1,100 pounds. It might be a tad heavier than that, as it has been upgraded to a twin cam engine, but more on that in a moment. Even if it has half the power of your modern car, it’s nearly a third lighter!
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1963-Lotus-Seven-Twin-Cam-Engine-630x473.jpg

In the case of this car, it may have a surprising amount of power. Originally, it shipped with a Ford 105E engine from the Anglia. Those engines didn’t tend to hold up well, so it’s not a surprise that it had an engine swap. And the previous owner picked a great engine for it. This is a Ford-Lotus E6015 Twin Cam that was bored out to nearly 2.0 liters and built to race specs, complete with a dry sump oil system! With dual Webers, this engine is likely generating around 150 horsepower.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1963-Lotus-Seven-Interior-630x473.jpg

Whether you looking to tear up the track or the street, this car is ready to go. The interior is as basic as it gets, but still looks fantastic. I imagine this is how it was setup when it ran in the 1979 Montreal Grand Prix and while you will definitely need to replace a few things, it is about ready to race. If I had the funds, I would already be on my way to pick this Lotus up, but I guess for the time being I will just have to make due with the Blakely!

[h=1]Four-On-The-Floor: 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1979-Camaro-Z28-630x354.jpg
This Z28 may be a little rough around the edges, but the engine has been rebuilt and there’s a four on the floor! By the time this Camaro was produced, most had slush boxes and in ’80 they even discontinued the stick option completely, so it’s always nice to find one with four speeds. This one needs some attention, but if bidding doesn’t go up too much more it might end up being a bargain. It’s located in Sun Valley, Nevada and is listed here on eBay with no reserve!


image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Rebuilt-350-630x355.jpg

There’s that rebuilt engine previously mentioned. I could do without the flashy valve covers and air cleaner, but that’s just me. The seller has the original block, but as long as this one was done properly, I’d leave it in there and have some fun with it! Looks like someone has already added headers and a new carb, so I’m guessing this 350 puts out significantly more than it did when it left the factory. Power was the main area lacking on the late 2nd gen Z28, so it’s nice to see that someone may have remedied that here.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Four-Speed-630x354.jpg

Here’s what really makes this particular Camaro special though. A manual transmission can make just about any car entertaining. Stick it behind a V8 though and you have a recipe for fun! Revs can be held out to the last second and downshifts can be made at the precise moment needed to keep the engine in it’s powerband. Out of the 84k Z28s produced in ’79 only 18k were ordered with the M21 4-speed option so that makes this configuration relatively rare.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Rubbernose-Z28-630x355.jpg

There’s some rust in the rear quarters, but otherwise the body looks pretty good. The paint is claimed to be original and, although worn, has a cool look to it. Everybody seems to want to repaint everything, but I’d attempt to make the rust repairs and only respray the areas that were absolutely necessary. That would keep your costs down and the car mostly original. Everyone has a shiney automatic equipped Camaro in the garage, but I’d rather have this ratty 4-speed any day!

[h=1]Three Mustangs, Two Fastbacks, One Price[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/stangproj4-e1490098469211-630x415.jpg
I have found that over the years, as more parts from projects past and current continue to pile up, I become more altruistic with my spare parts sales. That is, I have started giving stuff away just to keep the garage clear of spares that will never otherwise see the light of day. The same thing can happen with actual vehicles, as the seller of two fastbacks and one coupe Mustang shells here on eBay has come to realize, as he’s selling three shells for just $1,695.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/stangproj1-e1490098432549-630x435.jpg
It’s hard to follow in the listing, but the seller had a grand vision for swapping all sorts of good bits from bad shells and onto more worthy bodies. This yellow fastback is said to be one the more sound cars, but the term “sound” is likely used in the loosest sense of the word. Even this shell needs significant work, namely in the trunk floor area. Still, fastbacks are desirable Mustangs, so perhaps this one is worth building into a functional vehicle again. Check out the house and truck in the background!
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/stangproj3-e1490098450836-630x368.jpg
This coupe body is said to be in good shape, and the seller actually had planned to convert it into a fastback design using the roof from a green fastback also in the collection. I guess at the end of the day, he was hoping to end up with two fastback cars – which was certainly an ambitious goal considering the condition of all three. The asking price for all three cars seems quite cheap, but I’ll leave it to our Mustang experts as to whether even a sub-$2,000 price is still fair for fastbacks in this condition.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/stangproj2-e1490098399771-630x352.jpg

There are some logistical issues, as two of the cars are in Florida and the third is in Louisiana. The seller is open to splitting the collection up or helping the next owner collect all three bodies. Personally, I’ve never been so ambitious when it comes to projects to wanting to take something of this scale on, and fastbacks aren’t so hard to find that you’d spend years looking for a good one. But given the number of comments on the ad of people wanting to come look at the cars, maybe there are some courageous restorers still out there.

[h=1]Dream Survivor: 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/70-Ford-Mustang-boss-429-1-630x355.jpg
Throughout the years so many valuable “dream” cars have been restored to tip top shape, and always command a high value. Today, there aren’t many unrestored dream cars, but boy when you see one, it really draws your attention. This 1970 Boss 429 is a southern based car, having spent a great deal of time in storage. Completely original and untouched, this Boss has to be one of few remaining in this condition. With 70 bids and counting, bidding has reached $145,600. Find it here on ebay out of Palmetto, Florida.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/70-Ford-Mustang-boss-429-3-630x420.jpg
Nicely shoe-horned into the bay of this Mustang, the 429 cubic V8 is quite clean. Although this car is original, there are areas where paint has chipped and very slight surface rust has formed. Despite its lack of perfection, it is refreshing to see the condition of this beauty. One issue that is semi common with long term parked collector cars is that the car is currently stuck in gear. Whenever it was last driven the car was parked in gear, and often the clutch will “stick” causing this issue. Sometimes you can get lucky by gently “shocking” the clutch, and other times, you just plain have to drop the transmission. So in this scenario, this Boss is not a runner. Although the seller assures us that the car operates perfectly.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/70-Ford-Mustang-boss-429-2-630x420.jpg
Moving to the interior, the first thing I always look for is a manual transmission shift lever. Beyond the perfectly placed shift lever is an excellent condition interior that looks to have never been used. The driver side bucket is superb with no wear, or break down of the seat foam. The same can be said about the rest of the seats. The dash board shows like an NOS unit having no cracks, and a beautiful shine. Even the door jambs on this Mustang are clean enough to eat off of. This is certainly a clean and well maintained specimen for sure.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/70-Ford-Mustang-boss-429-4-630x355.jpg
After 47 years the paint shows very well, but there are some condition issues to point out. There appears to be some very faint surface rust on the front center section of the hood. Although the seller mentions some visible rust, he gives no real details on the subject. The rest of the body looks clean and straight, with no other visible rust present. Very close to perfect, these minor flaws only seem to enrich this cars originality as proof of the history it has lived. A stunning big block survivor, is this Boss 429 the survivor of your dreams?

[h=1]Trans-Am Champ: 1974 AMC Javelin AMX[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/e1-1.jpg
I’ve seen a lot of the “coke bottle” Javelins and AMXs in ads lately, but rarely are they this nice, original, and solid. Of course, you pay the price for that as well. The car is listed here on craigslist and is located in Oswego, Illinois. The asking price is a pretty steep $12,500, but compare it to an equivalent Mopar, Mustang or Camaro and things start to look more interesting. Reader Rocco B. sent us this car – thanks, Rocco!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/e3-1-630x256.jpg
This is one car that I liked as soon as it appeared. The Corvette-ish front fender peaks really differentiated it at the time for me and still do, and the aggressive rear spoiler just fits the car nicely. Unlike many of these cars, this one is still wearing it’s original rallye wheels and looks completely stock. By this point, the AMX was really a trim package on the regular Javelin, rather than a separate vehicle, but it was rather exclusive as there were only 4,980 AMXs manufactured in 1974, and this was the last year of the Javelin to base it on. The next AMX would be based on a Hornet hatchback!
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/e2-630x272.jpg
Neat aerodynamic touches include the lip at the end of the roof, which was put there as a result of work with Roger Penske and the AMC Trans Am series racing program. That stripe on the front is original as well; I realize it almost looks blue in some of the pictures, but I believe it is green.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/e4-1-630x354.jpg
Actually, I sure hope the stripe is green considering the interior color! I looked at a bunch of other AMX interiors online and didn’t see any others where the steering column is different, so I can only assume this has been replaced for some reason. The original seats sure look nice for the claimed 128,000 miles, don’t they? We are told that although the radio is the factory one, it doesn’t work. That shouldn’t be too hard to have fixed; there are a lot of specialists out there. I like the custom floor mats, too–it looks like someone has really loved this car.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/e5-1-630x354.jpg
This is the original 304 V8 and it’s nice to see the air conditioning compressor there, especially when we are told in the ad that the car is “factory stock for the purists.” A little cleaning under here would go a long way and be a pleasant way to spend a weekend. You won’t be tearing up the roads too much with a 304 and an automatic, but this AMX will at least be able to get out of its own way easily. I think this is an attractive example of a nice design. Would you leave it stock?

!986 Muscle Car prices. Only problem, most of us didn't have much money to spare in 86. The GT500 would have been the best Investment.
[h=1]1986 Revisited – Part 1: Deals on Wheels[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/032017-Barn-Finds-1986-Deals-on-Wheels-1967-Shelby-GT-500-d-630x319.jpg

This is a different one, but it may be fun, and very, very painful. In going through a couple of boxes of old magazines recently I ran across an August 1986 edition of “Deals on Wheels”, a somewhat regional car sales magazine which normally would have been found in grocery stores, auto parts stores, and places like that. It was the car bible for us as teenagers, not having heard of Hemmings yet. I’ll run through a few so you can see how wonky prices have gone for some cars over the last three decades. I have blocked out the phone numbers and tried to make all of the images the same size, in case you were wondering about either of those things.



image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/032017-Barn-Finds-1986-Deals-on-Wheels-1965-Pontiac-GTO-d-630x315.jpg

The first one, the ’67 Shelby GT-500, is perhaps the most painful of this bunch. $14,900 in 1986 dollars equates to $32,800 in 2017 dollars, but Hagerty lists a #2 “excellent” car at $163,000! Ouch. Not quite as painful but an equally desirable car is this 1965 Pontiac GTO, the classic “little old lady” car, except in this case the woman isn’t that old and she was a school teacher with perhaps thee coolest car in the parking lot. $3,995 in 1986 dollars is about $8,800 today. NADA lists a 1965 Pontiac GTO with a 389 V8 (and, this one needs paint) as having a “low retail” value of $19,900 and an “average retail” of $45,200. If you can find a car like this for $8,800, please let me know right away!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/032017-Barn-Finds-1986-Deals-on-Wheels-1969-Plymouth-GTX-d-630x315.jpg

A 1969 Plymouth GTX with a 440 six-pack for $7,995, anyone? Yes, please! Neither Hagerty or NADA lists a 3-two-barrel set up for pricing, but a regular, if there is such a thing, 4-barrel 1969 GTX in #2 “excellent” condition is valued at $54,600 today. And, inflation says that $7,995 is only worth $17,600 today, so yes, some vehicles can be great investments.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/032017-Barn-Finds-1986-Deals-on-Wheels-1966-Ford-Galaxie-7-Liter-d-630x315.jpg

Is anyone a fan of a 1966 Ford Galaxie 7-Liter? I thought so. This $2,875 asking price would be around $6,300 today, ha, that’s so painful that it’s actually funny! No, actually it’s not funny, it’s just sad that I didn’t buy one of these thirty years ago. NADA lists an “average retail” value of $20,790 for a similar car today. Quite a hike from the $6,300 inflationary rise in dollars since 1986. Kleenex, anyone?

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/032017-Barn-Finds-1986-Deals-on-Wheels-1970-Plymouth-Cuda-440-6-pack-d-630x315.jpg

Are you in the mood for even more pain and depression? Here’s a 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda with a 440 six-pack in perfect condition for $9,000. That price is equal to $19,800 today. A show of hands for those who would pay $19,800 for this car right now? How about $39,800? $59,800? How about Hagerty’s #2 “excellent” value of $93,000! And, that’s for a 4-barrel car, they didn’t have a six-pack listing. That’s also around what they’re selling for, at a minimum, on Hemmings.
That’s it for this edition of the 1986 Revisited! There is much more to come in future, equally-painful, editions.

[h=1]Not Lookin’ Fine: 1969 Pontiac GTO[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1969-Pontiac-GTO-630x354.jpg
While this 1969 Pontiac GTO has definitely seen better days, there’s enough car still there that it’s not a parts car, it’s a project car. The price certainly reflects that, with a no reserve auction here on eBay that hasn’t even hit $3,500 yet. The green (and yet again, it’s another green car, I really believe there’s something in green paint that keeps cars alive longer) GTO is located in Donald, Oregon.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/w5-1-630x354.jpg
The seller tells us that they know essentially nothing about the car; they purchased it from a neighbor that runs a storage yard. This brings up the whole question of title, but the seller says they can obtain a clear title in 4-6 weeks. I’d certainly tie anything I paid for the car to that title being obtained. Parts of what may be the original paint look pretty decent, but then you look a little closer and there’s a lot of corrosion.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/w2-2-630x354.jpg
This area at the right rear is a good example. Although superficially solid, by the time you are done cutting all the rust out and welding in new metal, this will be a quite elaborate repair. Nothing for a good home restorer that’s done it before, but if you are paying someone to do it, spots like this will add up in a hurry. Of course, with welders and plasma cutters readily available, perhaps this is a good time to learn by doing, or take a class at the local community college!
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/w4-2-630x354.jpg
The vehicle identification number does decode as a GTO, and this one was actually built in California. The interior is a mess right now, but who knows what you’ll find under the carpet. Metal, rust, or air? The seller offers a video link to those requesting it; I’d start there but I might go further and have a Barn Finds reader inspect this one in person. Don’t forget; that’s a benefit to members only.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/w3-2-630x354.jpg
While I cannot guarantee my accuracy, I believe this is the most common engine in 1969 GTOs, the 350 horsepower 400 cubic inch V8. The twin snorkel air cleaner and chrome valve covers were stock. We’re told the engine is not seized, although we don’t know anything else about its condition. What do you think, readers? Is this a project worth taking on?

[h=1]Nicest Around: 8,358 Mile 1986 Camaro IROC-Z[/h] image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/z2-1-630x355.jpg
There comes a point where superlatives are wasted. Let’s just say that if the words IROC, mullet, Tuned Port Injection, Chernobyl & Challenger, Top Gun and Full House feel like you heard them just yesterday, this car means a lot to you, and may be your dream car or close to it. The rest of you can probably just move on to the next post! This pristine IROC-Z is advertised here on eBay where bidding has yet to meet the reserve, and is located in Jupiter, Florida.


image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/z3-1-630x354.jpg
It’s rare that I can’t find a flaw in the pictures that accompany a classic car ad. This is one of those times. I can’t see a scratch or dent in the pictures, and the white with factory graphics and aluminum wheels (that I remember thinking were SO big when it was new) just melt my heart–and I’m a Mustang guy! This car is from the year I graduated from college, and I remember buying our first new car (a Ford Tempo) and looking longingly at the Mustangs and Camaros. And even though I was a fan of the blue oval, I had to appreciate the graphics and styling of the Camaro.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/z1-1-630x354.jpg
And this one shows those lines to the max. Note: again, if you don’t like this kind of car, as I said, move on to the next post. If you do, you know where I’m coming from!
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/z6-1-630x355.jpg
The interior is right out of the factory brochure. It’s not even dirty. The seller states that it has been living in an air conditioned warehouse. The car has power seats, power windows and power locks, as well as an automatic transmission. Yes, an automatic. Oh well.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/z4-1-630x354.jpg
The dash looks too good to be true. And there’s a clear shot of the mileage here. I’ll admit, the automatic spoils it a little for me. But the condition of the car outweighs a lot.
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/z5-1-630x354.jpg
Here’s the other surprise. I was expecting a 350 V8, but it’s only a 305! As a matter of fact, as far as I can tell (feel free to correct me) there wasn’t a 350 offered that year in any Camaro! Still, just look how nice things are under that hood. And I wouldn’t be racing the car anyway! Any of you 80’s lovers there with me?

Another Car from my youth.
[h=1]2,900 Mile Z28: 1980 Chevy Camaro[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/s-l1600-2-2-e1490369472136-630x344.jpg

Sometimes, it seems like we can become a bit numb to low mileage claims. 30,000 miles used to be impressive; now, it just passes for “OK.” That’s not to say I’d kick a car with under 50,000 miles out of the garage, but it seems the bar keeps going higher as the mileage keeps dropping lower. This 1980 Chevrolet Camaro has a mere 2,900 original miles, and appears to remain in near-showroom condition. The seller has listed it here on eBay where there is a reserve and bidding has already climbed over $16,000.


image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/s-l1600-9-e1490369533703-630x373.jpg

When I read listings like this one, I always want to know the story. How did this car maintain such exceptionally low mileage? Was it bought as an investment piece? Did someone drive it once and decide they liked their Mustang better? Was there a death in the family that resulted in the car being mothballed? Who knows, but I wish sellers would give us some context for impressively preserved examples like this one. The seats appear unused and the steering wheel is free from blemishes. The seller says the original factory-installed plastic covers remain on the carpets.

Under the hood, the 5.7L V8 is a familiar site, but in 1980, the Z28 was the only model you could equip with the 350. It’s amazing to see such originality under the hood, right down to the factory painted surfaces. There is some paint flaking on the valve cover, but I suppose that can happen to even the most preserved vehicles. Note the factory A/C compressor, which the seller claims still pushes out cold air. Steps have been taken to change as little as possible, with a new battery, belts and fluids the only alterations from original equipment.

1980 also saw the introduction of the Z28 hood that featured functional cowl induction. Cooler air could actually make its way into the engine bay thanks to a flap that opened up at full throttle. Nifty, for sure, but I’d likely appreciate this gimmicky feature more if this Z28 were equipped with a manual transmission. As it stands, though, the automatic isn’t the end of the world as I doubt this Camaro will ever be used for anything more than parade laps and the occasional car show. What do you think the final bid will end up being for this nearly new 1980 Camaro?
