[h=1]Pony Project: 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback[/h]

By Lee Aaron This 1965 Mustang has been owned by the seller since 2001 and stored since. The seller bought the car as a project, but it doesn’t sound like he did much besides source a replacement fender for it. If you’re in the market for a less-than-easy restoration project, this Mustang, for sale here on eBay in Hugo, Minnesota, just might be the horse you should be betting on.

I can’t figure it out from the provided photos, but perhaps one of our readers can? Either way, it’s going to be less potent than the V8 option, but at least it’s backed up by a manual transmission.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"355","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/stang4-630x355.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller says that the car was previously restored in the 1970’s using galvanized metal, tar and brazing rod. Based on the seller’s use of quotes around the word ‘restored,’ I’m guessing he’s using the term very loosely. Judging by the provided interior photos, the seller’s claim that mice have been partying in the interior seems entirely credible. Shots of the body show plenty of rust. No matter how you look at the car, I don’t think there’s any way around it needing lots of work to get it back on the road.

These first-generation Mustang fastbacks are great looking cars, but this one will need a lot of work to get to driver-status. With bidding already over $4,000 after just two days, it doesn’t look like this car will go cheap. Is this car worth the investment to become the horse you can ride out on?

[h=1]Japanese Classic: 1970 Datsun 240Z[/h]

By Brian Birkner The small Japanese sports car that caught America’s heart have been successful in racing and are an absolute joy on the streets. It is no secret that values on classic Japanese cars are on the rise, and the Datsun Z car is a forerunner in that appreciation. Prices have steadily risen the past few years where original examples like this 1969 build date car are being offered for big money. Certainly steep, this 1970 240 Z is offered for a whopping $65,000! Check it out here on craigslist out of Ridgecrest, California. Thanks to BarnFinds reader Michael for sharing this big money find!


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/70-Datsun-240Z-2-630x355.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"355","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/70-Datsun-240Z-2-630x355.jpg"}[/IMG2] Having covered 117,000 miles in its lifetime, this Z car is particularly clean for its not so low mileage. The original owner was a Datsun Service Rep, so maintenance and service was kept up for this Z car. A dual point distributor has been added, with a few other small items. When it comes to a car like this, the devil is in the details. Big money cars are almost always as original as possible with no modifications whatsoever, and low miles. The engine compartment is incredibly clean, and many if not all of the hoses and other fine details are Datsun specific parts. The oil cap, painted valve cover, and removed air filter housing are all points against this car, but in reality mean little to nothing to change and make correct. One interesting thing to point out is that the engine identification plate is shown removed from the car in the photos, which raises a question. Why was it removed, and were the correct rivets used to install it once again?

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"355","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/70-Datsun-240Z-3-630x355.jpg"}[/IMG2] If you have ever owned a Z car, currently own a Z car, or have a friend who owns a Z car, then you know that dashboards are worth their weight in gold. The dash pad seen above makes me hesitant, as original uncracked dashboards are slim to none. The aftermarket realm has started to catch up with the need of enthusiasts offering reproduction dashes, but they can be pricey. The seats are also wearing covers which make me curious about the condition. Amidst the covers there are several dash plaques stuck onto the dash and glove box. Hopefully they can be carefully removed with no damage caused to the dash or glove box. Again originality is key with a big dollar car.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"355","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/70-Datsun-240Z-4-e1527523876683-630x355.jpg"}[/IMG2] One incredible factor about this Z car is that it appears to be 100% rust free, and straight as an arrow. The seller claims the paint to be original, which is certainly a possibility. There are light swirl marks and “orange peel” in the paint, and there is dirt around the exterior emblems. Another odd thing is that some of the pictures show “Fairlady” emblems on the car which are incorrect, while some show the standard Datsun emblems. The bright work is in nice shape, and even the earlier style trunk lid vents are in awesome condition. While this is a very nice example, what do you think of the price of this Japanese classic?

[h=1]A Personal Thing: 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1[/h]

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Todd-Fitch_avatar_1510764313-24x24.jpg

By Todd Fitch Ford’s sales brochure called the 1971 Mustang “a personal thing, the sporty car designed to express the hidden you.” Indeed the Mustang’s many options, including the Mach 1 package, offered something for nearly everyone. This 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 in Freeland, Maryland seeks a new owner here on eBay where bidding has surpassed $3500.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"355","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1971-Mustang-Mach-1-2-630x355.jpg"}[/IMG2] Forensic sanding reveals a color history apparently beginning with blue and ending in yellow, with several colors of primer in between. Strategic holes behind the rear wheels allow fresh air to circulate throughout the trunk, keeping your beer (or beverage of choice) cooler the faster you travel.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"355","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1971-Mustang-Mach-1-3-630x355.jpg"}[/IMG2] After helping a good friend bring a green / green 1972 Mustang back from the dead, this image gives me the shivers. With some luck this one won’t need the X-braces we welded in place to maintain the car’s structure while replacing both sides of the floor and one rocker. This car’s black interior (with a bevy of replacement parts) promises to compliment whatever color the new owner selects.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"355","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1971-Mustang-Mach-1-4-630x355.jpg"}[/IMG2] The 351 “Cleveland” 2bbl represented a medium option among Mach 1 engines ranging from 302 to 429 cubic inches. Ford enlarged the Mustang for ’71 to accommodate the 429, and a built 460 fits too, always an option if you find a ’71 – ’73 Mustang with no engine (thanks to mustangattitude.com for some details). The 351C is no joke; it may not power this Mustang to Mach 1, but it will definitely snap your neck when built properly. This generation has drawn a bad reputation as the pig of Mustangs… oversized and ill-handling, but in reality this ’71 is the same length as the 2018 Mustang… 188 inches, and it’s about 300 pounds lighter than today’s Pony Car. How would you complete this classic’s transformation from idled to idolized?

Cool 48 year old Ford with a 360 HP 429.

[h=1]Thunderjet! 1970 Ford Thunderbird[/h]

By Scotty Gilbertson The fifth-generation Thunderbird is the most interesting for me, especially the unusually redesigned examples such as this beautiful 1970 Ford Thunderbird with the famous “Bunkie Beak”. This amazing car is listed on eBay with a $12,000 buy it now or you can make an offer. It’s located in beautiful Knoxville, Tennessee.



image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/052918-1970-Ford-Thunderbird-Sportsback-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/052918-1970-Ford-Thunderbird-Sportsback-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] A friend of mine in high school had a dark green four-door T-Bird of this generation with a 429 and he got 8 mpg, ouch. As most of you know, Ford made a sedan version of the Thunderbird for the 1967 model year, the start of the fifth-generation. This was no average four-door, the Thunderbird sedan had suicide doors which were unique then and it’s still unique now. That is, of course, the model that I would want for the unusual factor, which isn’t to say that this Sportsback T-Bird isn’t super desirable, too. It sure is a beauty.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/052918-1970-Ford-Thunderbird-Sportsback-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/052918-1970-Ford-Thunderbird-Sportsback-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
Or at least it’s a beauty from the rear with that sloping roofline. There was also a two-door Landau model. The design and especially the projecting front end treatment is said to have been generated from a former Pontiac designer, Semon “Bunkie” Knudsen who was now at Ford. Bunkie wouldn’t last long having been dismissed in the fall of 1969, reportedly for not getting along with long-term team members including Lee Iaccoca.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/052918-1970-Ford-Thunderbird-Sportsback-4-630x390.jpg

The seller says that this T-Bird “was restored in recent years and is pretty original/complete.” I’m not quite sure what that means, if it was restored to original-spec or if it’s original but parts of it were restored? Whichever case it is, this car looks amazing for being 48 years old. If my ’66 Lincoln Continental Coupe would have been this nice for this money I’d still have it. Hagerty is at $10,200 for a #3 good condition example as a comparison.

I know, those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end. They say that it “starts and runs great. Could likely use a carb rebuild as it stumbles when stepping on it (Likely the accelerator pump).” They also say that there’s also a small coolant leak which shouldn’t be a huge problem. Have any of you owned a fifth-generation Thunderbird?

[h=1]One-Owner Estate Car: 1971 Mercury Cougar XR7[/h]

By Scotty Gilbertson This 1971 Mercury Cougar XR7 is “from an estate and one owner”, according to the seller in Monroe, Washington. They have it listed on Hemmings for $10,000 or best offer and it sure looks like a winner.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/060218-1971-Mercury-Cougar-XR7-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] What a beautiful car. This really looks like a hidden gem, it’s hard to believe that it has 91,000 miles on it. That’s only 1,936 miles a year over the last 47 years. In 1971, Mercury slightly enlarged the Cougar and took away the signature hidden headlights.

The seller says that this car was “always garaged” and that the “Original paint is in excellent condition”. It sure looks like the whole car is in at least very good condition. They have it priced almost exactly halfway between Hagerty’s #2 excellent and #3 good condition values and it’s hard to argue with that.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/060218-1971-Mercury-Cougar-XR7-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/060218-1971-Mercury-Cougar-XR7-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Green, green, and more green. Companies sure pumped out a lot of green cars in the 1970s. Not to mention green appliances, clothes, etc. I like having an actual color on a vehicle and now you’re lucky if you get to choose between a tan or a black interior. You’ve noticed that the seats have clear plastic covers on them, I’m hoping that they’re well-preserved underneath otherwise they’re just a way to sweat more in the summer.

The 4-barrel 351 Cleveland had 285 hp and there was even a 429 Cobra Jet with 370 hp. The seller says that they “had transmission rebuilt and muffler replaced” so it sounds like it’s ready to go. It sure looks like it could be driven home. Have any of you owned a second-generation Mercury Cougar?

By Montana Danford This 1970 Ford Mustang is said to be a one-0f-one Mach 1 with a 428 Super Cobra Jet. There isn’t much information in the ad which can be found here on eBay, but the car gained national attention recently thanks to an article found here on Fox News. Thanks to that article, the bid amount has tripled in the past 24 hours with the current bid standing at over $10,000. The car is located in Maquoketa, Iowa and will take a dedicated new owner to restore it.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"360","width":"480","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1970-Ford-Mustang-Mach-1-4.jpg"}[/IMG2] As you can see, this car is merely a shell of what it used to be. The original engine, transmission, hood, fenders, etc. are missing. If this car is rebuilt, is it still a one-of-one car? If you are not familiar with the term “Ship of Theseus” it is the theory of original parts replacement. In other words, how much of the original item can be replaced before it no longer becomes what it was. Hot rod builder Boyd Coddington pled guilty to a “Ship of Theseus” fraud in 2005. If you replace all the missing parts on this car, is it still a one-of-one car? Perhaps your local laws will determine how much of the original car needs to be present to be titled.

This project is going to be a major undertaking. If done right, the car may be worth more than the restoration cost, but it will be a gamble. People often talk about a “holy grail” muscle car, this one certainly fits that description. Too bad there aren’t more original parts included.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1970-Ford-Mustang-Mach-1-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1970-Ford-Mustang-Mach-1-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] What do you think? Is this car worth the investment? The new owner will probably spend well into six-figures to restore the car. Without the numbers-matching engine and transmission, will it be worth the time and money put into it?

By Jeff Lavery Update 6/7/2018 – Robert really needs to get this Mustang moved out of his garage, so he’s dropped his asking price to $14,500! It looks to be a sweet and well sorted Fox body, so if you’d love to give it a new home, be sure to contact him via the form below. He also sent over more info, which you can find above the photo gallery.

From 5/18/2018 – Fox Body Mustangs continue to enjoy favor with enthusiasts when kept in good condition and devoid of tacky aftermarket parts. This example, our latest Barn Finds exclusive, was sent in by reader Robert Ornelas, who has completed a significant overhaul of a rust-free car that was originally equipped with an automatic. The look can be described as OEM+, and mileage remains low at 52K.

Robert notes: Suspension upgrade, tubular/boxed rear upper/lower control arms. New (Z code 5 speed transmission) Motorsports clutch. Rebuilt differential with new bearings. Clutches for posi and 4.10 ring/pinion. New steering rack. Koni shocks and struts. SVT wheels with Nitto tires. 4 wheel disc brakes. All done in great taste.

Upgraded with ’94 Cobra interior, black seats, black carpet, door pocket delete. Alpine stereo with Bluetooth. The car was originally automatic and very clean original condition when I started. The airbag light was on when purchased and is still on; the module requires replacement.

Lots of other details have been tackled, including swapping the A/C to 134A and a host of engine upgrades (GT40 intake, 70mm throttle body w/cold air intake to fender, E303 roller cam and true roller timing chain, aluminum radiator and electric fans. Includes MSD tune up kit and SplitFire plugs); the seller simply doesn’t drive the car as frequently as he intended, hence the sale. Give him a shout if you’re interested!
From Robert – I have spent $24k on this ride only because it had such low miles on it when I got it from the original owner. But Ineed the garage space. So if you need any other info on this ride just let me know. Everything was done in great taste I just wanted it to be one of the nicest Fox bodies around. I had forgotten some details like the sn95 alternator and underdrive pullies, plus the 70mm throttle body. The one-time complete repaint was done in 2016. The interior was ordered from TMI, front and back seats include padding for that new car seat comfort. All emblems are new. Front and side glass new. I have looked at other stock mustangs going for a lot more that need to be gone through. And need a lot of attention but I think the 2 needed items on this car is the airbag module and left rear park brake slightly sticks even though I purchased a complete kit to swap from drum to disc brake and cables. I think this car is just sitting too much. But I will have the park cable checked and fixed before sale.

[h=1]302 V8 Manual Transmission: 1974 Mercury Comet GT[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/060618-1974-Mercury-Comet-GT-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/060618-1974-Mercury-Comet-GT-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Scotty Gilbertson Having just a five-year run, the Mercury Comet GT is a rarely seen car today. This 1974 Mercury Comet GT is in Rome, Georgia and the seller is super bummed out about having to sell it to pay for some home repairs. This rare GT can be found on eBay with a current bid price of just $250 but of course the reserve isn’t met yet.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/060618-1974-Mercury-Comet-GT-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/060618-1974-Mercury-Comet-GT-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Ford originally planned on cancelling the Comet and related Ford Maverick – to be replaced by the upcoming Monarch and Granada in 1975 – but they decided to make them both until production finally ended in 1977. The Comet GT’s final year was actually in 1975 but basically the same features were available for the Comet’s final two-year run. It’s unfortunate that the 1974 bumpers were so wicked huge on these cars, I really like the thin bumpers on the early cars.

The seller of this Comet GT says that it’s a “rare barn find” and apparently “the previous owners has taken the transmission out of it, and removed the side pipes, and the GT wheels as well!” Well, that’s super unfortunate, those may be tricky to track down. I’m not sure if the Comet GT came with side pipes, but there was a dealer in Atlanta, Pugmire Lincoln Mercury, who created a package called “The Stabber” for Comet GTs with side pipes, a hood tach, and a few other goodies. They are incredibly rare today. Not to mention a similar package from a different dealer which they called the Bear Cat – also incredibly rare. But, back to this GT. The seller says that side pipes only came on manual-transmission Comet GTs – can anyone confirm that?

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/060618-1974-Mercury-Comet-GT-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/060618-1974-Mercury-Comet-GT-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior is an interesting mix of stuff and things. It sounds like the transmission isn’t the original 3-speed, or maybe there isn’t even a transmission in it now, just the shifter? They say that the former owner “gave me a 5 speed trans mission to go with the car, and it is in the trunk. I was going to try and find a 4 speed top loader to use in it”. You can see that it will need a full restoration, unfortunately. This will be a labor of love due to the cost of restoring this car.

Unfortunately, “car is not running and is not road worthy at this time, it has been a while since it has been on the road, so it needs to be checked out real good before making it road worthy.” This should be Ford’s 302 cubic-inch V8 which would have had 140 hp and 230 ft-lb of torque. That isn’t a lot of power for a nice little V8, but I’m sure that most of you could “hop it up” (nobody says that anymore!) like crazy. Any thoughts on this ’74 Mercury Comet GT? Can it be saved?

[h=1]Crate Engine Replacement: 1991 Ford Taurus SHO[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/sho-front-2-630x390.jpeg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/sho-front-2-630x390.jpeg"}[/IMG2]

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Jeff-Lavery_avatar_1510763369-24x24.jpg

By Jeff Lavery We featured a first-generation Ford Taurus SHO not too long ago; it was quite nice and bit pricier than this cosmetically-rough example. However, there’s a chance this 1991 model is an even better buy as it comes with a replacement crate engine from Ford following the original’s catastrophic failure by overheating. The fresh motor from Ford has approximately 2,000 miles on it, giving potential buyers the chance to drive a first-generation SHO with new car mileage. Find it here on eBay with an opening bid of $999 and the reserve unmet.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/sho-rear-630x390.jpeg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/sho-rear-630x390.jpeg"}[/IMG2] The SHO’s paint is obviously its worst feature, exhibiting obvious signs of clearcoat failure and other issues. The presence of a trailer hitch on a car like this is somewhat disconcerting, along with the “SHO” lettering on the bumper filled in with what looks like magic marker. The slicer alloy wheels are my second favorite for a first-gen, with the original mesh basketweave design my personal number one on these cars. The seller says this is one of just 352 SHO “Plus” models produced in black of about 2,597 SHO models made that year.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/sho-dash-630x390.jpeg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/sho-dash-630x390.jpeg"}[/IMG2] The seller notes this is a rare “SHO Plus” model, which adds in a few different special features. A power bulge hood, black mirrors and side trim, a trunk mounted spoiler and special badges are among the cosmetic tweaks that sets the “Plus” model apart from other first-gen SHOs. Mileage is a bit annoying, as these need a major service right around 60K as I’ve explained on these pages before; it’s planned obsolescence at its worst. Hopefully, the next owner will have the means to keep the engine happy by way of routine servicing, along with addressing some of the other flaws about the vehicle that the seller references in the description.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/sho-front-630x390.jpeg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/sho-front-630x390.jpeg"}[/IMG2] The SHO is a bit rough on the inside as well, matching its tired exterior cosmetics. But really, what’s most impressive is Ford installing a new Yamaha-built crate engine at no expense to the customer. For a car produced in low numbers with an exotic powerplant under the hood, having the assurances of just 2,000 miles on a rebuilt engine should represent an enormous amount of value for the next owner, and put to bed any concerns about addressing the complicated 60K service in the near term.

[h=1]$500 Pony: 1967 Ford Mustang[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/67-Ford-Mustang-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/67-Ford-Mustang-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Brian Birkner Abandoned and forgotten cars in America have become common, and often are passed on for fair money like this 1967 Ford Mustang. Simplistic and basic, this Mustang could be a great hot rod project for the $500 asking price. Check out this pony here on craigslist out of Newfield, Maine. Thanks to reader AMXBrian for sharing this Pony project.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/67-Ford-Mustang-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/67-Ford-Mustang-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Although equipped with a basic inline 6 with an automatic, this pony could easily be swapped and transformed into something a little more exciting. The engine is relatively complete, but the condition is unknown. The engine compartment has some visible surface rust, and there is some rot below the battery tray area. I would imagine that the brake, fuel, and electrical systems could use some help.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/67-Ford-Mustang-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/67-Ford-Mustang-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Inside you will see that the carpet still resides in its place as do the seats and dash. There looks to be some green algae, mold, or small vegetation growing in the passenger floor board. With that being said, the door jambs appear solid on this car, and the interior will certainly need attention.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/67-Ford-Mustang-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Being a Maine car can be a bit scary, but I will say I do not see any exterior rot on this Mustang. There is some mild surface rust to be found on top of the body, and there is some rust to be seen around the rear wheel arches as well. Hidden from view, the rockers and lower quarters could have some issues, but who knows. Some rust can be found in the trunk, but again, I see no rot. I would imagine that the floors need some work, but what unrestored classic doesn’t? Would you give this $500 Mustang a chance?

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/David-Frank_avatar_1510764564-24x24.jpg

By David Frank I wish every listing could be like the eBay listing for this Mustang. The seller has posted over 100 pictures that provide a realistic idea of the real condition of this car. The opening bid was only $200 with no reserve. The seller provides only information he is sure of without supposition. For example, the engine block appears to have a fresh coat of paint but he doesn’t say it might have been rebuilt. Bidding is over $15,000 at this time with about 6 active bidders. It would be nice to know the history of this Mustang. It appears it’s being sold by a flipper who likely bought it out of a garage. It runs and drives, but apparently not well. Perhaps the previous owner started throwing money at it and became discouraged when he realized how big the hole was.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/69-Mustang-Fastback-int-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior appears well worn but it looks original and complete. The dash pad is truly sad.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/69-Mustang-Fastback-engine-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The engine runs and has had appears to have had some restoration work completed. There’s no word on whether this might be numbers matching the car.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/69-Mustang-Fastback-under-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/69-Mustang-Fastback-under-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This side looks pretty nice. There’s no serious rust showing in this picture. Something doesn’t look right, though. Have the floors been replaced?

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/69-Mustang-Fastback-RR-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/69-Mustang-Fastback-RR-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This Mustang has led a hard life. You can almost imagine this Mustang in better times. I remember driving a rented Mustang much like this with just a few miles on it. It was mostly a smooth luxury ride with a wonderful exhaust note cruising across Montana at just under hundred. This sad old pony is far from its glory days. Panel fit was never Ford’s strong point, but this Mustang looks much worse. The rust showing in the bottom of the doors is likely hiding lots of filler. There might not be too many places a magnet would stick to this car. The bodywork under that white paint is likely like the dash pad all wrinkly and cracked. Hopefully, the buyer has some idea what he is in for and plans to spend a pile of money restoring this. Could people really look at these pictures and think this is a solid car? Can you imagine buying this sight unseen? At least the seller showed them what they are getting.

[h=1]One Owner, Barn Find! 1967 Shelby GT350[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1967-Shelby-GT350-1-630x390.jpg

By Montana Danford When it comes to rare and desirable vehicles, the name Shelby is near the top of the list. When you add the words “one owner” and “barn find”, you have a home run. This car is said to be just that: a one owner, barn find, 1967 Shelby GT350 Mustang. Offered for sale by Legendary Motorcar in Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada, the asking price is just shy of $70,000. Advertised here on Hemmings, the car is in amazing original condition.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1967-Shelby-GT350-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1967-Shelby-GT350-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The ad tells the story quite well. “The original owner had purchased the car to use it as daily transportation…driving this car to the Woodstock music festival and the Dearborn test track to meet Carroll Shelby. As the gas crisis in the early 70’s took place, the original owner had parked the car and bought a Volkswagen. The car sat in his barn for 27 years waiting to see daylight again.”

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1967-Shelby-GT350-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The ad continues: “This 1967 Shelby GT-350 was initially built 03/15/1967 and shipped to Larsen Ford in White Plains, New York. Nicely equipped with all the Shelby GT-350 modifications, it also came with many factory options such as the fold down rear seat, power steering, power front disc brakes, center headlights, tach and much more.”

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1967-Shelby-GT350-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The Shelby Mustang has a very distinct style of taillights, making the rear end unique and easily identifiable. Not sure why the bumper would be missing? Hopefully, that comes with the sale, but it isn’t a deal breaker if it doesn’t. The car is said to come fully documented with a Marti Report and Shelby Registry paperwork. The new owner should be proud to own this project. I wouldn’t be surprised if it crosses a high-end auction block in the next few years. Do you think the next time this car surfaces, it will be fully restored or as it sits now? What would you do with it?

[h=1]Amazing Find! 1970 Boss 429 Mustang Survivor[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1970-Boss-429-3-624x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"624","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1970-Boss-429-3-624x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Montana Danford One of the rarest and most sought after muscle cars of all time is the Boss 429 Ford Mustang. So when Charlie Lyons heard from someone who told him that someone had a Boss 429 hidden in a garage, it seemed too good to be true. You see, Charlie is a muscle car dealer and restoration shop owner from Irvington, AL who is known to rescue barn find cars. He says, “I get those calls fairly frequently, but they rarely turn out to be anything.” Well, in this case, it turned out to be one of only thirteen real Boss 429’s with Calypso Coral paint and a white interior. An article about the amazing find is featured here on msn.com. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Michael for the tip on this great story.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"624","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1970-Boss-429-1-624x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Here is what makes the Boss 429 so special. A rumored 500+ horsepower engine featuring aluminum heads and intake. During the height of the NASCAR wars, cars that wanted to compete had to be “stock cars” meaning a certain number of cars had to be produced for public sale. This created cars such as the Superbird and Boss 429 Mustang. These cars were specifically built to compete in NASCAR and fortunately for the rest of us, some made it to the street.

There has been some aftermarket racing modifications done to this particular car, but it doesn’t appear to be anything too drastic. The new owner can probably put the car back to stock configuration fairly easily. These cars easily command six figures at auction and are the centerpiece of many high-end car collections. This Grabber Green version sold at Barrett-Jackson earlier this year for $230,000 at the gavel!

It will probably be restored to original condition and sold or retired to a high-end car collection. If you were lucky enough to pull a car like this out of a garage somewhere, what would you do with it? Let us know.

By Josh Mortensen I really would love to know what exactly is happening in this barn! Not only do you see the ’69 Mustang that’s for sale, but what appears to be a ’65 Mustang Coupe and a ’63 Split Window Corvette. They all look to be projects, but there’s no word on what their statuses are. The seller sold a split window not that long ago, but this one appears to be a different one. Getting to the Mustang that’s for sale, it’s a base level car, but in the SportRoof body (aka Fastback). It’s list here on eBay in Cape Coral, Florida, so assume there are serious rust issues, with an asking price of $6,500.

It’s a 200 cui inline six engine and is said to run great. The only major issue the seller notes is that the power steering belt if off, so assume it is going to need the power steering system fully rebuilt.

This Mustang is going to be a huge project, but this body style is desirable. I do love the seller’s recommendation that you be looking for a rusty project if you are going to be buying this one. While it drives, you will want to fix the rust issues before putting any mileage on it.

It looks like it might not be a real split window, but rather a later coupe with the split window added in. It would take a closer look to know for sure, but perhaps if you buy the Mustang they will let you in to look at the Corvette!

[h=1]Zurvivor: 1971 Datsun 240Z[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/71-Datsun-240Z-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/71-Datsun-240Z-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Brian Birkner The Z car market is on the rise, and many nice cars have been turning up out of the wood work. Typically susceptible to extensive rust, nice surviving cars aren’t all too common. This 1971 model is a little rough around the edges, but overall is a very nice car. With great original looks, and several pluses to its condition, this orange Z is offered for the buy it now price of $24,500. Check it out here on eBay out of North Palm Springs, California.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/71-Datsun-240Z-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The 2.4 inline 6 is a healthy condition runner that it thought to have 59,579 miles. Described as being garage kept its entire life, there is a fair amount of surface rust and oxidation in the engine bay. None of the visible rust is of a concern, but there is a strange area near the radiator support that looks to either be rusted, or is suffering from paint chipping.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/71-Datsun-240Z-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] One of the most common areas to age poorly, this Z car interior is surprisingly nice. The dash looks to be crack free which is a very rare treat, and the interior overall appears very well maintained, and fade free. A steering wheel wrap has been fitted to the steering wheel, which could mean that there are a few cracks in the rim. Also the seats are in very nice shape, but the seat foam is starting to break down in the driver side seat. A part of me suspects that the dash has been replaced with either an NOS part, or with a reproduction part. Same for the shift boot, and the shift knob. The factory radio is gone and in fact, there is no radio whatsoever in this Z car.

There looks to be a few minor dings on the body, but it could be an illusion from how shiny the paint is. The only flaws that take away from the appearance from this Z is the faded taillight panel, the faded optional 240Z side strips, and the weather worn badges and emblems. Overall a nice example, would you jump on this Zurvivor?

[h=1]1968 Shelby GT500KR Barn Find Revealed![/h]

By Josh Mortensen Reader Richard R recently shared a barn that he’s known about for most of his life, as a matter of fact, it was his uncle’s car! Sadly, his uncle recently passed away and his family decided to sell his cars. Richard did his best to buy his Uncle’s 1968 Shelby GT500KR, but just couldn’t afford it. Thankfully, the car went to a good home, the proceeds went to charity and Richard ended up with his Uncle’s other car. I’ll let him tell you the rest of the story below.

He brought it out last year and got it road worthy before he passed last December. Unfortunately, it left the family because I couldn’t afford the price tag. He bought it in 76 and drove it a few years before it was parked for good.

To get it going again, he just pulled it out, replaced tires, fluids, and brakes and off it went. He bought it from the original owner, I believe, in Pa. He drove it until he got bumped in the rear at a stop sign and never drove it after that. I was 9 years old last I saw it. He bought a 10 second 1968 Mustang Fastback with a 427 to drive and parked the Shelby. My uncle liked to race and ran a few cops in his day with both cars, so he replaced the Shelby trans with a stronger top loader 4 speed. No idea what happened to the original. The car has 51,000 miles on it and the estate sold it for charity to a guy out in Ohio. I backed out at $61k. I think it went for $75k.

It’s a cool car and pretty much original outside of a repaint on the trunk lid and the trans. We are going to miss the car because they don’t come along that often.

I have my dads Model A from when he passed 9 years ago and hopefully will have the fastback. Uncle Art was more concerned about speed then shiny paint so both cars were bought to go fast and they were both good choices. Ironically I am all about Pontiacs and own 9 of my own including a few others. Just love any car built like these.

It’s too bad that this Shelby didn’t stay in the family, but I’m sure the new owner is happy to have it! I want to thank Richard for sharing his Uncle’s car with us and can’t wait to see the ’68 Fastback. If you know about a cool barn find like this, please share it so we can share it and its story! You can send the story and photos to [email protected].

[h=1]Four-Eyed Survivor: 1982 Ford Mustang GT[/h]

By Jeff Lavery The Fox body Ford Mustang has become so much of a household name in the project car dictionary that you might forget to appreciate a truly nice one when it comes along. Now, I’m not saying this example is necessarily that car, but it sure seems to possess many of the credentials we’d look for in an attainable modern classic. This example here on eBay has some thin paint and other minor cosmetic flaws but otherwise seems solid; however, the current bidding and unmet reserve may indicate too lofty of a price goal.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mustang-rear-630x390.jpeg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/mustang-rear-630x390.jpeg"}[/IMG2] What’s concerning is the bids are already past $7K and the reserve remains unmet. Right there, my gut is telling me this Mustang – despite all of its pluses – may be a touch overpriced. Sure, it’s got decent original paint, the period-correct louvers, an unmodified 5.0L V8 and some tasteful SVT wheels, but the bottom line is these are not difficult cars to find. Sure, a later model will absolutely be easier to track down, but you can sniff these out or its Mercury twin without too much pain.

I love red interiors inside of black cars, and this one doesn’t disappoint. The manual transmission is a must-have and it looks to even retain an OEM cassette deck. The seats appear undamaged, as do the door panels and carpet. Someone took great care to not damage this interior, and they don’t often look this nice in a car of this vintage.

So many of these have cold air intakes, headers and more by now that it’s almost jarring to see one left stock. I believe the strut mounts are missing their rubber dust covers; a minor qualm but they do serve a purpose. There’s zero information offered about recent maintenance or the presence of a detailed service history, which would potentially help justify the seller’s asking price. What do you think it should be worth?

Would make a Great Track Car. [h=1]Perfect Daily Beater: 1995 Dodge Viper RT/10[/h]

By Jesse Mortensen The wrecked Hellcat from the other day was interesting, but this Dodge Viper could be perfect daily driver! It will provide that daily dose of adrenaline and you won’t even have to worry about parking lot dings. Sure, it has a salvage title and will need some buttoning up before it can be used, but what could be cooler than a V10-powered beater? It’s located in Okatie, South Carolina and is listed here on eBay where bidding is hovering right around $14k.

Not that it matters much when everything is such a mess. The seller mentions that some work has been done, but that it still needs paint and a windshield. I’d install that glass quick and just leave the body alone. Think of all the smiles… and disgusted looks you’d get. It could be the perfect conversation starter… and avoider. Besides, the beat-up look may be more fitting for such a bruiser!

The Viper was a primitive beast when it was released in 1991. With a big V10 out front and a low sinister look, it was an instant poster car. You know, the kind that hangs on the wall of every young boy’s room. I was only 9 when Dodge announced this car and I still remember the first time I saw one blow by me on the street. It looked angry and I wanted one! The seller doesn’t mention if the 450 horsepower RT/10 engine even runs, but they do state that 90% of the parts needed to put it back together are included.

This isn’t a project for someone on a tight budget though. Gas and insurance costs alone could cause havoc on most normal people. The Viper was never a car for normal people though. If you have some money to burn and want something different, make this thing roadworthy and start driving it everyday. Just be sure to let us know if you do so we can send you a Barn Finds sticker and
