[h=1]COPO Clone: 1969 Camaro[/h]

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1969-Camaro-COPO-Clone-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] Alright, so it isn’t a real COPO Camaro, but this clone looks to be about as close to the real deal as you can get. The seller has known about this car for the past 25 years or so, as it belonged to a friend. It was built into a COPO clone sometime in the early ’80s with a date correct 427 and an M22 transmission. After spending the past couple decades in a hay barn, it’s going to need some work. The seller was able to get it running and driving, but there is some rust and body damage to be fixed. Find this Camaro here on eBay in Naples, Florida.

I don’t see anything too serious, other than the damage to the rear valance. It’s obviously going to need a fresh paint job to look its best, but it does have a cool look to it right now. My biggest concern actually isn’t the cosmetics, but what rust might be hiding underneath. The trunk floor looks to have lots of pinholes, so it will definitely need to be replaced. And if it is rusty, I imagine the rest of the floors have rust. You can get all the metal to fix it easily enough, but it will still take lots of work and money to fix.

Here is the 427 V8! That’s a lot engine for a Camaro, but that’s what makes it so much fun. Real COPO Camaros fetch crazy money these days, so well done clones are somewhat desirable. Obviously, a car like this won’t ever be worth what a real one is worth. Personally, I’d rather have a clone that I can drive on the street everyday, than the real thing and be scared to even drive it around the block.

It sure would be cool to hit the road in a ’69 Camaro with a big block under the hood! For the right price, I would love to have it. That is if the floors aren’t too far gone and there isn’t any structural rust. Given as much power as the 427 is capable of putting out, I would want to make sure the car is sound and safe before going anywhere in it. If it is, it would be a fun driver that you wouldn’t have be scared of scratching up a little!

[h=1]Father and Son Pair: Mercedes 300SL Gullwing & Roadster[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/mercedes-300sl-pair-front-e1496709218763-630x268.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"268","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/mercedes-300sl-pair-front-e1496709218763-630x268.jpg"}[/IMG2] Talk about a family with good tastes: this pair of Mercedes 300SLs, one a Gullwing coupe and the other a Roadster, have been in the same family ownership for 60 years after originally being purchased by a father and son. That must have been quite a pay day at the office when dad and his junior decided to purchase this impressive pair. Find these highly original Mercedes specimens here on TheOldMotor.com. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Doug M. for the find.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"279","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/mercedes-300sl-gullwing-side-630x279.jpg"}[/IMG2] Said to have been lovingly maintained for all those years by the same original-owner family, the Gullwing wears a striking shade of British Racing Green over tan leather and has only covered 16,000 miles from new. Can you say multi-million dollar sale? This 300SL was purchased through the legendary Max Hoffman dealership in New York and remains unaltered from stock condition.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"259","width":"567","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/mercedes-300sl-convertible-e1496709362295.jpg"}[/IMG2] The corresponding 300SL roadster wears just slightly more miles under its tires, clocking in at a mere 38,000 miles. The best part? It retains its complete Karl Baisch luggage, which will certainly add to the final sale price. Like the Gullwing, it remains almost completely original. Both of these garage finds will be auctioned by Gooding & Company in August, so bring your checkbook (and first born…and inheritance…and, well, your entire portfolio) if you’re anxious to bid.

[h=1]1987 Shelby GLHS Survivor: Black Beauty![/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/shel2-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shel2-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] Having owned a regular, non-turbo Shelby Charger at one point and enjoying it a great deal, I vividly recall the first time I saw a GLHS and was blown away by it. If you share those feelings, you can easily rekindle them by taking a look at this beautiful example listed for sale here on eBay. Bidding is up to $5,600 as I write and it’s located in New Baltimore, Michigan.


image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/shel1-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shel1-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] Even if you aren’t a GLHS (Goes Like Hell–S’more?) fan, you can’t argue about the quality of this car. This is number 223 of 1000 produced according to the listing. Only 36,500 miles have rolled under the tires. It’s hard to believe that someone didn’t have more fun than that!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/shel3-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shel3-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] It’s just as clean from the rear. I can only think that the car could never have been driven in the snow, despite being in Michigan. In case you are wondering, the GLHS was only made in 1986 (500 were produced) and 1987 (1000 produced). There’s a neat video of the car here that shows it off nicely.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/shel4-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shel4-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] Naturally, the interior looks every bit as nice as the exterior. Yes, it’s a little plain, but the GLHS was about go, not show. With 175 horsepower and 175 foot pounds of torque, it handily outperformed most of the muscle cars of the day both in a straight line and around corners. And I can attest that the seats are as comfortable as they look.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shel5-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] One of the day’s more advanced turbo engines, this 2.2 liter four cylinder looks like the low mileage claim may just be accurate. I know this, I would dearly love to be the one that put my foot in it after purchase! How about you? Doesn’t this seem like a bargain compared to some of the Camaros, Mustangs and other muscle cars we’ve featured? It sure does to me, especially if the auction stays down this low.

A Friend of mine also owned one of these from the mid 80's and told me it was the worst piece of #$%^ he ever owned. I can see why you were swinging a pick axe in the first pic. The GLH models, Charger and Omni had respectable power for the era, 175 HP, but became a Nightmare to own after 3 or 4 years.

Back in the late 70's a Friend's dad had one of these, a 71. They came from the Factory with 370 HP and around 500 Foot Pounds of Torque. A lot of fun with a 4 speed. [h=1]400/4 Speed Survivor: 1971 Pontiac Firebird[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/71-Pontiac-Firebird-1-630x355.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"355","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/71-Pontiac-Firebird-1-630x355.jpg"}[/IMG2] The second generation of the Firebird was equally as appealing as the 1960’s cars, although these early 1970’s cars seem not as common to find in survivor condition. This ’71 model packs a 400 cubic inch v8 and a factory 4 speed! A little rough around the edges, but solid and original, this is a nice enough example of a muscle car survivor. With less than a day remaining in the auction, this Pontiac is currently bid up to $12,600 with the reserve not met. Check it out here on ebay out of Orem, Utah.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"420","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/71-Pontiac-Firebird-2-630x420.jpg"}[/IMG2] All of the drive-train is original, and numbers matching. Even the original carburetor is still with this car after 46 years in the wild. The 4 speed transmission has a Hurst shifter, and this ‘Bird is ready to rip. With some obvious signs of surface rust in the engine bay and on the inner fenders, the engine bay shows okay, but needs some detailing attention.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"420","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/71-Pontiac-Firebird-3-630x420.jpg"}[/IMG2] Very original, but in need of some help, the interior isn’t too shabby. The driver seat is split like a hot dog bun, and the center console lid has some cracking in the vinyl. Oddly the back seats and the carpet appear a bit dusty in appearance, but the rear seats almost look as if they have deteriorated from sun exposure, but it is difficult to make out. Despite these appearance details, the dash and door panels look excellent aside from the driver side arm rest area suffering from cracking. A solid cleaning and some upholstery work would do wonders for this Pontiac.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/71-Pontiac-Firebird-4-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] Although original, the exterior of this Firebird isn’t perfect. With chipping paint, a few areas of surface rust, and a matte finish to some of the paint, this classic has spent a lot of time indoors according to the seller. The only thing critical is that the lower portion of the quarters have rot, but it is described as being a minimal concern. In my opinion the rot is a bit more alarming than the sellers take, as both lower arches need attention, and the front portion of the quarter near the rocker has rot as well, where it raises concerns about the rockers. The trunk lid is black, but I am unsure if this is a rattle can job, or if it is a replacement panel. Thankfully there is no evidence of rust around or near the vinyl top. Solid with a great potential to be enjoyed as is or restored, would you take on this survivor condition muscle machine?

[h=1]Driving Ms. Daisy: 1965 Mustang Convertible[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1965-Mustang-Convertible-as-Found-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1965-Mustang-Convertible-as-Found-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] This Mustang Convertible might have already been restored, but it has quite the history. The previous owner bought it back in 1975 and she took meticulous care of it. She even named it Ms. Daisy because of the Springtime Yellow paint. Sadly, she began to have health issues in the early 2000’s and decided she could no longer drive Daisy. Which is even more unfortunate considering she paid to have the engine worked on and the body fully restored. We asked the seller if they had any photos of the car when they found it and they sent the photo above over! It’s since been given a tune up and fully detailed. You can find it here on eBay in Chicago, Illinois with a BIN of $26,500 and the option to make an offer.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/195-Mustang-Convertible-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] The previous owner clearly loved her little convertible Mustang, as she kept all of the service records from the time she purchased it all the way up to the restoration. She drove it from Salt Lake City, where she bought it, to Chicago, but with just 76k miles on the odometer she must have only driven it on weekends and special occasions. The seller has the stack of paperwork detailing all of the maintenance and work that has been done over the years, which comes with the car.

It cleaned up extremely well and appears to be ready to go. You don’t see many Mustang Convertibles with air conditioning, but whoever purchased it new had the dealer install the A/C system. The seller claims it still works, although they don’t say how cold the air is coming out of it. If it still blows cold, it would make this a very comfortable convertible to drive around in this summer!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/195-Mustang-Convertible-Engine-630x341.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"341","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/195-Mustang-Convertible-Engine-630x341.jpg"}[/IMG2] The car was also optioned with the 200 horsepower 289 V8, which is said to run great. It should given that it hasn’t seen that many miles since it was last worked on. During the restoration, it had new head gaskets installed, the valve springs were replaced and a complete service.

This really does look like a fantastic car and values for early Mustang Convertibles have really climbed in the past few years. Being a 289 car with air conditioning only makes it more desirable, add in all the documentation and you really have something worth collecting. These cars are a blast to drive, which does create one conundrum for me, I’d want to baby this one. Given that it’s a convertible, I guess it would still be fun to just take out for nice weekend drives with the top down!

69 Fastback, 390, 4 Speed. What a Find.

[h=1]390/4-Speed: 1969 Mustang Mach 1[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1969-Mustang-Mach-1-630x393.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"393","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1969-Mustang-Mach-1-630x393.jpg"}[/IMG2] This Mach 1 has been off the road since 1982 when it was stashed away in a storage container. It has since been pulled out and made to run again. Though not perfect, its originality and big block/4-speed combination make it worth some serious consideration. It’s located in Bessemer, Pennsylvania and is listed here on eBay where the bidding action ends tomorrow.

The seller claims that the rodents didn’t get to it and that the wiring seems to be in good shape. The lights and things inside all work. The t-handle and shift boot are the only items in here that appear to not be stock.

The fluids were changed, the carb rebuilt, tuneup items installed, and a new battery dropped in. No mention is made of the brakes though so you will want to check on that. No sense in going fast if you can’t stop.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Mach-1-630x394.jpg

If this car were mine, I’d treat the rust and attempt to preserve what’s left of the paint. Then I’d drive it and work through any of the other issues that popup. Does that sound like a good plan to you?

[h=1]EXCLUSIVE: 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra[/h]

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1996-Mustang-SVT-Cobra-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] Seller Description: This 1996 Cobra Convertible was pulled from a garage in Pittsburgh where it sat since 2003. It has just 4,200 original miles! Car is mechanically sound now and has been detailed. It has a few minor blemishes from the garage it was in. It still even has its original tires. Runs and drives great.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"650","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1996-Mustang-Cobra-SVT-Garage-Find-630x650.jpg"}[/IMG2] I know this is a little newer that what we typically feature, but this Cobra is quite the incredible find! The hand assembled 4.6 liter V8 churned out an impressive 305 horsepower and 300 foot pounds of torque. I know by today’s standards, that really isn’t all that impressive, but in 1996 that was near super car levels of power! Then add in the fact that it’s a convertible with just 4,600 miles and you have something worthy of collections. They only built 962 of these convertibles in Laser Red and I doubt there are many with this low of mileage left.

He runs a shop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania called Iron City Garage, so he knew what he was doing when getting the engine going again. It’s said to run great now and has to be an absolute blast to drive!

I’m amazed at how well the interior cleaned up. I guess it should look nice when you consider how few a miles it has covered! It still confuses me why you would buy a car like this only to park it and forget about it. I’ve driven a later SVT and it was an incredibly fun car to drive, so I would have a hard time seeing this in the garage/barn/shed everyday and not want to climb in it and go for a spin!

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1996-Ford-Mustang-Cobra-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] $27k might seem like a lot of money for a ’90s Mustang, but Hagerty values a #1 at $28,000 and that’s not taking into account for mileage or originality. With a little more cosmetic work, I think you could have this car to #1 level, while also having one of the lowest, if not the lowest, mileage 1996 SVT Cobras around! If you’d like to make Pete an offer, set a time to come inspect it or have a question about it, be sure to message him via the form below! Our thanks to Pete for listing his low mileage Cobra with us and we hope we can find a good home for it. If you have a super low mileage survivor parked in your garage that needs a new home, please consider listing it here on Barn Finds!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1993-Mustang-SVT-Cobra-630x302.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"302","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1993-Mustang-SVT-Cobra-630x302.jpg"}[/IMG2] Yesterday, we featured Pete’s beautiful low mileage Mustang SVT Cobra. Well, a few people messaged me that they liked it, but they are fans of the Fox body SVT Cobra and that they wanted to see one of those. It just so happened that a 1993 SVT just popped up on eBay and this one has just 1,126 miles on it! That’s insanely low mileage for a Fox body, especially one with a factory tuned 5.0 V8. This was the last year Ford built the Fox body mustang, so it’s also the only year for the SVT Cobra to be offered in this body style. You can take a closer look at this Mustang here on eBay in Terrell, Texas with bidding already over $29k!

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"401","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1993-Mustang-SVT-Cobra-Engine-630x401.jpg"}[/IMG2] As great as the 5.0 was in these cars, it doesn’t produce as much power as Pete’s SVT does. The later 4.6 was rated at 305 horsepower, while this cars 5.0 is said to have 235 horsepower. I’ve heard that both engines produced more power than what was stated by Ford, but by how much I don’t know. When this car was brand new, it was capable of hitting sixty in 5.7 seconds and clearing the quarter mile in 14.5 seconds.

The seats are in fantastic condition, but they look better suited to long distance trips than a day at the track. Considering most of us would only ever drive this car on the street, it really isn’t an issue. I’m just surprised that a performance version of the Mustang wouldn’t have been fitted with high bolster seats that kill your back, butt and legs!

It’s in immaculate condition and clearly has been well cared for over the years. I’m a little surprised by the current bidding, but this is a one year only car. Ford produced 4,993 of them, so this car actually isn’t as rare as Pete’s convertible, but it has a different kind of appeal all it’s own. So which Mustang SVT Cobra do you like more, this Fox Body or Pete’s SN-95?

I had a buddy in university who had one, bought it from the original owners in 2011. 400/4 speed in red.
 
[h=1]Well Optioned S Code: 1966 Ford Fairlane GT[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1966-Ford-Fairlane-GT-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1966-Ford-Fairlane-GT-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] This Fairlane is going to need a complete restoration, but it’s well worth the work. You see, this is a GT 390 car with a 4-speed and a Positraction rear end! Quite often when we see big block projects, they are missing their engine, but this car’s 390 is still in the engine bay and is even running! The seller states that it isn’t a driving project though, as it needs brake work and rust repair. It looks like it could be a fun project though, so be sure to take a look at it here on eBay in New Lebanon, Ohio with a current bid of $6,700 and less than 10 hours to go.



image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1966-Ford-Fairlane-GT-Interior-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1966-Ford-Fairlane-GT-Interior-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] As you can see, it’s going to need body and paint work, but the body looks fairly solid. The floors have quite a bit of rust and will need to be replaced. I’ve seen a lot worse restored though and you can get everything you need to restore it easy enough. And while the interior will need a lot of work, it looks like all the major components are still here and restorable.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1966-Ford-Fairlane-GT-390-Engine-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1966-Ford-Fairlane-GT-390-Engine-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] The 390 V8 was offered in two performance levels, 275 or 320 horsepower. The seller states that this one is an S code 390, meaning it’s the 4 barrel version with 320 horsepower. Some people claim these engines actually produce more power than that, while others claim they produce less. Either way, I’m sure it produces more than enough power to have fun!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1966-Ford-Fairlane-GT-390-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1966-Ford-Fairlane-GT-390-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] When this Fairlane was new, it would have been one sweet machine. A big block with a 4 speed, Positraction and bucket seats, you really can’t get much better than that combo! Heck, I even like the way these Fords, add in the hood vents and you have one mean looking machine! It’s going to need a ton of work, but just think about how much fun you will have in it once it’s done.

Old Trucks are Cool.

[h=1]Ready To Work: 1946 International K-1[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1946-International-K-1-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1946-International-K-1-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] It’s amazing what great photos can do for an old truck! This International has already had all the mechanicals sorted and is said to be a great driver, but cosmetically it looks to be all original. And by all original, I mean it’s a bit rough looking. The photos are so great though that it actually makes the worn out look seem cool! If it weren’t for the $11,500 asking price, I would be tempted to make it mine. You can take a look at the seller’s other photos of it here on eBay in Kalama, Washington.



image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1946-International-K-1-Truck-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1946-International-K-1-Truck-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] While I have no doubt that this truck looks good in person, I’m sure once it arrives, it will be a little bit disappointing given just how awesome it looks in photos. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather sellers take awesome photos like this of their vehicle, than to have them post low quality photos that are so out of focus that you can’t even tell what your looking at. I would just recommend going into this purchase knowing that it might not look as good in person as it does in these photos.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1946-International-K-1-Engine-630x393.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"393","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1946-International-K-1-Engine-630x393.jpg"}[/IMG2] The original engine has already had a ton of work done to it, including a new head gasket just recently. It’s even had the rear end rebuilt with new gearing so that it can do modern highway speeds without concern. The seller drives it 80+ miles into town every once and a while without issue, but states that they wouldn’t try to fly in and drive it long distance. Given how durable these trucks are and just how much work has done to it recently, driving it long distance would be one heck of an adventure. Just be sure to bring tools and some spare parts!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1946-IH-K-1-630x393.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"393","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1946-IH-K-1-630x393.jpg"}[/IMG2] It really is impressive how great photos can impact the desirability of a car or in this case truck. I’ve always liked the looks of these ’40s Internationals, but the more I look at the photos of this truck, the more I want it! Hopefully, one of you will snag it so I’m not tempted to make the trip to Washington.

[h=1]1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/olds2-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/olds2-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller of this Oldsmobile 442 tells us what they can about the car in this eBay auction listing, but there are still some questions in my mind. However, what we can see about the car looks interesting, and with bidding only at $5,900 with no reserve as I write, if you like this vintage of 442 I’ll bet your ears have pricked up. The Cutlass is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.


image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/olds3-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/olds3-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller says that they think it has about 50% of the original paint showing. They also have the original “computer card” that shows it is a real 442. We’re also told there are a few dents and some rust that’s “not too bad.” It would be nice to have some closeups of what that actually means. The trunk and floor are both listed as being “in decent shape.” Since that means different things to different people, if you are really interested, I’d try for some clarification and/or some more pictures.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/olds4-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/olds4-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] What we presume to be the original Rocket 350 is present, and it runs well although the exhaust has leaks. However, the car is not a driver yet, as the front brakes are off the car and the master cylinder outlet for the front brakes has been blocked off. You’ll also need to replace the lower radiator hose as it is leaking.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/olds5-630x473.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"473","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/olds5-630x473.jpg"}[/IMG2] Nice steering wheel! I like the automatic shifter, too. Yes, Jamie likes an automatic. Surprise! Somehow it seems fitting in this car.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/olds6-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/olds6-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] You can see the splits in the vinyl from here. However, it does look very, very original, and the dash looks nice as well. The odometer is showing around 50,000 miles, but the seller says “take that as you will.” Honestly, that doesn’t look like 150,000 miles on that seat, even with the split in the middle. So what are your thoughts on this 1972 442?

[h=1]Not The Norm: 1969 Charger R/T Hemi[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1969-Dodge-Charger-RT-Hemi-630x393.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"393","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1969-Dodge-Charger-RT-Hemi-630x393.jpg"}[/IMG2] This could just be one of the most incredible finds we’ve come across in a while! This 1969 Charger R/T is a survivor with just 32k miles on the clock. Oh and it’s a 426 Hemi 2×4 car that was touched by Mr. Norm! If there is such a thing as the Holy Grail of Mopars, this just might be it! Just being a ’69 Charger R/T Hemi car makes it incredibly special and insanely valuable, add in that it’s a documented low mileage survivor that has ties to Mr. Norm and the value could be astronomical. You really need to have a look at this Charger here on eBay in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a current bid of $90k.



image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1969-Dodge-Charger-RT-Interior-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1969-Dodge-Charger-RT-Interior-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] It’s covered in dust and has obviously been stored for the majority of it’s life, but the seller really doesn’t offer any of the car’s history. And why isn’t bidding higher? I know $90k isn’t a small amount of money, but I’ve seen other ’69 Hemi Chargers go for nearly twice this and those didn’t have this low of mileage or the connection to Mr. Norm. So what gives?

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1969-Dodge-Charger-RT-Hemi-Engine-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1969-Dodge-Charger-RT-Hemi-Engine-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] The engine looks to be in fantastic condition, but there’s no word on whether it runs or not. The seller also doesn’t say if Mr. Norm actually did any work to this car or if it just was sold at his dealership in Chicago. At least it has Norm’s signature on the underside of trunk lid. There appears to be a large stack of paperwork and magazine articles with the car, so it’s a bit strange that they didn’t provide more information about the car in their ad.

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1969-Dodge-Charger-RT-630x394.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1969-Dodge-Charger-RT-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] I’m going to guess this seller is looking to make a deal offline and is just using eBay for the marketing. I don’t necessarily blame them, but I have a feeling they would get a lot more interest in it if they had done a better job presenting it. It’s cool to see it with a thin layer of dust, but I want to see it cleaned up and looking it’s best. It’s a six figure car after all, so why not detail it and make it look like one? At the end of the day though, I would love to own this car or at the very least, experience it!

There was a 57 like this, same color at the Atlantic Nationals a few years ago. You don't want to restore one of these. Parts are rare and expensive. Back then, Cadillac changed their models every year.

[h=1]EXCLUSIVE: 1957 Cadillac Eldorado[/h]
image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1-3-e1497471729779-630x473.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"473","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1-3-e1497471729779-630x473.jpg"}[/IMG2] Seller Description: This Cadillac Eldorado is a 2 door Hardtop with the 365cid/325 horsepower V8 and is equipped with the 2×4 carb setup. All Power, air conditioning (not working, sounds like it needs a new clutch) with red & black interior. I have extra 1957 Cadillac parts in the barn you may be interested in as well. A Northern California Cadillac.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"393","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1957-Cadillac-Eldorado-Seville-630x393.jpg"}[/IMG2] There were lots of great looking cars built in 1957, but the Cadillac Eldorado has to be one of the best designs to make an appearance in ’57! Tiger’s Eldorado is a 2 door hardtop Seville and it looks to be in fantastic shape inside and out! Other than getting the A/C working, it doesn’t really need anything. Well other than a new home that is!

image: http://cdn.barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1957-Cadillac-Engine-630x538.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"538","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1957-Cadillac-Engine-630x538.jpg"}[/IMG2] The 365 V8 is an impressive engine, especially for 1957. Of course, you need as much power as possible to move these massive luxury machines down the road at any kind of speed. It looks to be well cared for and in nice shape. Replacement A/C compressors are available, but they aren’t cheap, plus you will have the expense of converting the system to R134. Personally, I think it would be worth the cost and work to get it going again.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"394","width":"630","src":"http:\/\/cdn.barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1957-Cadillac-630x394.jpg"}[/IMG2] If you are looking for the ultimate classic cruiser, you really can’t do much better than an Eldorado! It isn’t cheap, Tiger is asking $47k for this one. Their price is right between what Hagerty values a #2 and #3. Looking it over, I think it’s condition is right in that #2.5 range, although it might be a little closer to #3 than #4. If you’ve always dreamed of owning an Eldorado with fins, be sure to message Tiger about this one via the form below. And if you have a classic sitting in your barn that needs a new home, please consider listing it here on Barn Finds!
