By Rose Greenan The 1965 Ford Mustang is far from unusual to see on the streets today, as reportedly over 400,000 were produced this year alone. However, it is quite rare to find one with only 28,000 original miles. You can find this supposed low mileage example here on craigslist with the asking price of $9,000 in Fountain Valley, California.

At this point, it appears that all this car really needs is a new paint job. You could choose to repaint it the original orange-red color, or you could customize it a bit and chose any color of your liking. The seller says that there is minimal body damage so hopefully a good paint job wouldn’t be too costly. Then again for those who like the weathered look, you could leave the paint as is. Personally, I think that this is the kind of car that needs a shiny new paint job, but to each their own.

The interior is in impressive condition for the age of the car. According to the seller, the front seats have been replaced which isn’t really surprising. With the intense California heat the old upholstery was probably peeling. It is nice that the front seats appear to have been reupholstered well and match the original style of the car. The seller has also added a new stereo system which I believe is hidden in the glove box, to maintain the original look of the car.

This could make a great daily driver. Does the $9,000 asking price seem reasonable? What do you think of this 1965 Ford Mustang?

[h=1]Pre-Oil Crisis Classic: 1973 Mercury Montego MX[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/montego2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/montego2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Jay B Cousin to the Ford Torino, the 2nd generation Mercury Montego was completely redesigned in 1972. Just a year later the oil crisis would have a significant impact on the automobile industry. American car companies, already being hit hard with early 1970’s federal fuel regulations, would begin to veer away from producing larger-style vehicles in response to consumer demand. The performance car era was coming to an end. Embodying the classic beauty and style of cars from that era is this 1973 Montego MX two-door coupe, available here on Craigslist in Fort Ann, New York for $4,500.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/montego1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/montego1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] In addition to dealing with Federal fuel regulations in the early ’70’s, American auto makers also had to comply with increased safety regulations. The designers at Ford/Mercury sure did a wonderful job of making those big safety bumpers look beautiful on the Montego however, and this car certainly still wears its chrome well. The seller is a bit short on details regarding what’s original and what’s not on this MX, but does point out that the vinyl top has been replaced. I’m guessing this Montego is wearing its original paint since the seller doesn’t mention otherwise. I can’t see any overspray or color inconsistencies in any of the pictures, and the seller does a real nice job of including photos of all the telltale areas.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/montego3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/montego3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller fails to reveal how many miles are on the motor, but claims it is “100% mechanical.” Here is a good shot of what appears to be the 5.8 liter, 351 cubic inch V8. Mercury offered five different V8 engines in addition to the base 4.1 liter, 250 inline 6 for the 2nd gen. Montego. I have to address the elephant in the room and admit that as I scroll through the pictures in the ad I am finding it harder and harder to keep my focus on the Montego. This seller has quite a collection! Anyone care to take a stab at identifying what’s parked to the right of the Montego in bay 1? How many other cars, trucks, tour buses, and motorcycles can you spot in this guy’s collection? How about all of the transportation-related signs, the old gas pump and the stop light? I also spot at least two old grills on display. Very impressive!


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/montego4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/montego4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This car looks just as clean on the inside, with perhaps a bit of color fading on the dash and some light stains on the carpeting. The seller does a great job of providing plenty of pictures of the interior and I am really falling in love with the white upholstery. I think the door panels look especially sharp against the chrome trim and brown inlay. So at $4,500 is the seller’s price fair? It sure seems it to me – although there still is the question of how many miles are on the clock.

[h=1]Immaculate 14,000 Mile 1971 Ford Torino[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1971-Ford-Torino-Sedan-1-e1533590167923-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1971-Ford-Torino-Sedan-1-e1533590167923-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

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

By Todd Fitch Shiny and original-looking, this 14,000-mile cream-puff appears much as it may have during the Nixon Era. A buyer might question the mismatched paint on the driver’s door, but the overall visage supports the seller’s assertion that this 1971 Ford Torino in Rigby, Idaho “needs a little detailing if it is going to be a show… car.” Even if it fails to ignite the fires of muscle-car collectors, this Ford may represent a relative used car bargain. The $6,800 asking price here on craigslist in Eastern-Idaho buys a roomy low-mileage sedan that’s easy to maintain and promises plenty of service with style.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1971-Ford-Torino-Sedan-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1971-Ford-Torino-Sedan-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller describes the vehicle as neither survivor nor restored, but either way, she’s a beauty, perhaps its originality stems from curb-appeal that’s as distant from performance as possible. Only an economy-minded six-cylinder engine would push this Torino’s vision of smoking tires on a Saturday night further into dream-land.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1971-Ford-Torino-Sedan-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1971-Ford-Torino-Sedan-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
Brimming with options this Torino is not. The austere dashboard and column-shifted three-speed manual transmission suggest the original owner may have incanted a vow of poverty. Some “25 to 35 years” in a barn did little harm to this bare-bones sedan, and it’s better preserved than the contents of many actual time capsules.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1971-Ford-Torino-Sedan-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1971-Ford-Torino-Sedan-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The 302 cid V8 appears fresh and ready to serve the new owner, whether its destiny lies in accumulating as few miles as possible visiting local show-n-shines or even executing the role of Cherished Daily Driver. Would you keep the odometer as dormant as possible or enjoy this super-clean example of ’70s basic transportation by driving it as you pleased?

[h=1]A True Survivor: 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-1-e1533588746449-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-1-e1533588746449-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Adam Clarke Ever had one of those moments where you’ve looked at something in a newspaper or the internet and then wished that you hadn’t? Well, I’m having one of those moments now. I had decided to have a relaxing Sunday afternoon just wasting time, and then I looked at the latest offerings to come across the Barn Finds inbox. I saw this and felt compelled to write about it. For sale here on eBay is this beautiful 1966 Mustang. Located in Dyersville, Iowa, this absolute peach of a car comes with a clean title and can be yours with a BIN of $15,000 but with the option to make an offer.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] So why did I feel so compelled? Because this car would be my absolutely ideal Mustang if I were ever in a position to buy one. I’ve always had a real love for the ’66, and it’s got a 289 which just about makes it perfect for me! If this car meets all of the claims made by the seller then it’s one seriously nice little car. The seller states that it is a California car and that it has never had any rust. He also claims that the paintwork and panels are all original. If that’s the truth then this really is a time capsule.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] So, what do I think of the interior? The first thing that I’ll say is that it isn’t perfect. The carpet appears to be a bit faded and there is some noticeable wear on the wheel rim. Would I change it? Not in your life. This is a car that you could hop into and feel comfortable about enjoying. The dash looks good, along with the seats and door cards, so it’s getting a big thumbs up from me.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-5-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-5-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Ah, there’s that 289. This one looks to be in about the right state for a car that has been cared for rather than one that is being kept concourse. The seller has done a bit of work on it, and he sounds like someone who cares about his cars. The air con has only recently been recharged and blows nice and cold. It also features a rebuilt carburetor, top end of the engine, power steering and radiator. The seller has also fitted new tires, a new fuel tank, and a sender unit. He claims that the car runs and drives well.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-6-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-6-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The trunk looks really good, but I definitely would have removed the extraneous items from there before I took the photo. It’s great to see the original trunk mat, tire cover, and tool pouch all present. The only thing that I question is the wire running across the trunk floor on the left. Maybe it’s nothing, but a potential buyer looking at the photos can’t be sure.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-7-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-7-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] So, would I buy it? If I had the money and I wasn’t 10,000 miles away from it I would in a heartbeat. This has been my dream car since I was a lad. The biggest issue that I’d have if I bought it would be trying to explain it to my wife….or I could just buy it and hope for the best when she saw it. After all, it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

[h=1]Cougar on the Prowl: 1970 Mercury Cougar XR7[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cougar-1-e1533661306540-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cougar-1-e1533661306540-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Adam Clarke When I was a boy I used to refer to these as “the car with the shut eyes”. It is (of course) a Mercury Cougar XR7. This one is for sale here on eBay. It’s located in Milton, New York, and comes with a clear title.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cougar-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cougar-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The owner of this car has something to be proud of. Not only is it a nice looking car with original paint, but it’s numbers matching and he has a heap of documentation that goes with the car. There is some rust to note in the lower rear quarters and in the lower front of the driver’s door, but neither look to be serious. Otherwise the Light Ivy Yellow paint has a nice shine and the brown top sets off well against it. The owner also notes that the sequential directionals are operational.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cougar-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cougar-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This inside of this Cougar really shines. The interior color is described as Ginger. The leather seats look to be in great condition, while the dash, carpet, console and door cards appear to be in first-rate condition. The car also comes fully loaded with tinted glass, air con, tilt steering wheel and defrost. The owner states that everything works exactly as it is supposed to. He is very specific about this, including every light, buzzer, the tachometer and even the clock.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cougar-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cougar-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The rear seat also doesn’t disappoint. In fact it looks like it has hardly been used. I suspect that the owner knows exactly how to care for leather upholstery.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cougar-5-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cougar-5-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Under the hood lurks the venerable 351, backed by an FMX transmission. The car also features power steering, front disc brakes, Traction Lock rear and the Competition Handling Package. The owner claims that it is 1 of 184 as verified by the Marti Report, which is included with the Mercury. Also included is the original invoice and build sheet, along with records and invoices for all repairs. The list of items that have been repaired or replaced is enough to make your head spin. These include the heater core, radiator, gas tank & sending unit, tie rods, shocks, rear springs, sway bar bushings, power steering lines, brake lines, hoses, air con Freon and fittings, belts, plugs, points, wires and the carburetor has been rebuilt.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cougar-6-e1533661351662-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cougar-6-e1533661351662-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This is a seriously nice car. It ticks a lot of boxes and I quite like this Cougar with the shut eyes. It would be a rather nice way to go out cruising on a weekend. I guess there are two questions to ask. The first is whether you like it enough to want to own it? The second is that with bidding already at $9,100 and with the reserve having not been met, how high do you think that it will go?

[h=1]Mach 1 Guts? 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1970-Ford-Mustang-Convertible-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1970-Ford-Mustang-Convertible-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Scott Allen For some reason the ’70 is one of my favorite model year Mustangs, I like the body style and the clean appearance of the front end. The ’70 Boss 302 is on my bucket list of cars to own. Even though there were more coupes built, it seems like we see more fastbacks for sale. The ’70 convertible like we have here is even more unusual. This convertible is said be a one owner, original paint car with a Mach 1 wood grain interior package. Find it here on eBay in Vancouver Washington for $11,000 BIN.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/s-l1600-5-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/s-l1600-5-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] It’s not the most desirable model, but this Mustang still has a lot going for it. According to the ad, this is a 1 owner survivor with 117k miles in very original condition. The paint is original but far from perfect, the worst of the damage being the left rear quarter panel. Some rust is noted around the bottom of the doors and the floors have some rust as well. The engine is a 302 2V attached to an automatic, no engine pictures are included. The white top is original, it is worn but has no holes.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/s-l1600-3-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/s-l1600-3-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The interior is said to be a deluxe wood grain which is usually only found in the Mach 1. The originality extends inside and keeps with the theme of the car; original but used and not perfect. The carpet is worn and showing its age, the driver’s seat is worn and the dash has some cracking. Basically, the interior needs a refresh. The steering wheel looks more like an LTD wheel to me but it’s probably factory, although I think a 3 spoke wheel would have been in the Mach 1.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/s-l1600-4-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/s-l1600-4-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I am usually an advocate for keeping it original, but I would understand if someone did some tasteful upgrades to this one. The car is just a little too worn to keep in this condition and it’s not a rare model. The car is said to run and drive well with a fresh tune up and rebuilt carb. What are your thoughts on this one, keep it original, restore or change it up with some upgrades?

[h=1]Great First Classic: 1972 Ford Galaxie[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/galaxie-2-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/galaxie-2-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Adam Clarke If you are a fan of the blue oval and looking for a chance to buy your first affordable classic car, then this just might be the car for you. Located in Thomaston, Maine, and listed for sale here on eBay is this 1972 Galaxie. Possessing a clear title this old Ford is priced with a BIN of $3,995, but with the option to make an offer.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/galaxie-1-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/galaxie-1-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I will say from the start that this Galaxie is by no means perfect, but it is a good driver quality car that you can get into, drive and enjoy. The seller of this car has truly excelled with their ad. As well as a detailed description, they have included more than 70 photos and a video. What this shows is a fairly honest looking car. The body displays a few minor dings and scrapes, but there’s nothing there that’s horrific. Rust doesn’t appear to be an issue and the gloss of the paintwork is fairly reasonable.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/galaxie-3-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/galaxie-3-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Once again the seller is pretty comprehensive about describing the interior. It all appears to be in sound condition. The dash pad looks good, as do the carpets (only minor fading) and door cards. There is a tear in the roof liner under the driver’s sun visor and some seam separation on the passenger seat. The back seat is even better than the front and hardly looks like it has been used.

Once again it all appears to be fairly honest. The cover of the radiator is missing and the carburetor has been replaced at some stage, but otherwise, it is all original. Once again there is a comprehensive catalog of detailed photos. These include a lot of photos of the underside of the car demonstrating that this is a solid old warhorse.

A lot of people like their 2 door cars, and this is a nice honest one. The seller leaves you nothing to question and is really candid about the state of this car. It’s really worth looking at the ad for this car and watching the video that goes with it. It gives you a chance to be “walked” around the car, and to hear it start and run. If I were looking at a first classic car it would be awfully tempting. It may not be as overwhelmingly desirable as some cars, but it certainly would be a comfortable place from which to watch the world go by.

[h=1]Fox Body Rarity: 1989 Ford Mustang ASC McLaren[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-front-1-e1533661760841-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-front-1-e1533661760841-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Jeff Lavery For all of the talk about how limited the production was around Ford and Mercury’s ASC-converted Mustang/Capri, they sure do seem to pop up for sale quite often. I can’t help but wonder if current owners sought them out as sure-fire collectibles only to find values fairly stagnant and the market of potential buyers surprisingly small. This example here on eBay is a 1989 model with under 60,000 miles and yet another claim of limited production numbers that don’t jive with other figures I’ve seen quoted.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-rear-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-rear-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller says this 1989 model is one of 52, which may be correct for the model year. Then again, there’s a listing for another 1989 model seen here that claims McLaren confirmed there were only three build that year! How do you begin to unpack which numbers are real and which ones are hyperbole? Frankly, I’ll believe the 52 figure all day long over the less-than-five quote, but it’d still be helpful if a McLaren enthusiast could pin down what the actual number made for 1989 is.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-interior-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-interior-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Sadly, I see this example as one of the least desirable out there due to the automatic transmission. The conversion didn’t offer any measurable performance gains, so you’d at least hope to find a manual inside. Still, the seller points out that the interior remains in fine condition with blue leather sport seats, an uncracked dash, clean carpets and what appears to be a factory radio. The ASCs underwent fairly radical transformations on the outside, but the cabins retained standard-fare Fox Body Mustang features.

While it will come with a clean CarFax and “deluxe” Marti report, the fact that the reserve remains unmet tells me the seller may have priced this McLaren conversion on the high side, as it does present quite well cosmetically. However, the market for these will likely always be lukewarm at best, especially with an automatic transmission.

[h=1]Feel The Sizzle! 1971 Dodge Demon Sizzler[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1971-Dodge-Demon-Sizzler-1-630x390.jpg

By Todd Fitch While Mopar B-body performance models rate high on many collectors’ must-have muscle car lists, the smaller A-body enjoys a dedicated pack of rabid fans. This 1971 Dodge Demon Sizzler in Round Rock, Texas may offer more show than go, but rest assured that A-body fans will be checking it out here on eBay where $7,000 may be enough to make it yours.

This one has seen the harsh Texas environment sandblast through a rattle-can paint job, the original paint, and the factory primer to reveal bare metal on most of its horizontal surfaces. The bumper wears scars from multiple tune-ups at the hands of tailgaters or inattentive use of Reverse.

JoAnn Fabrics clearly surrendered a bolt of dark blue velour to hide whatever tragedies befell the seats and dashboard. The extra-padded steering wheel appears to have been lifted from a carnival bumper car, perhaps to provide extra protection when you’ve consumed a six-pack of Olympia and realize you’re only wearing a lap belt. In reality, it’s the factory “Tuff Steering Wheel” with a $1.99 padded rim wrap.

In the last year of SAE Gross horsepower ratings, the 318 made 230 HP, though it would be called 150 HP (Net) the following year. These numbers rate comically less Satanic than the 2018 Dodge Demon’s 840 HP, but as long as your groovy Demon Sizzler impresses the opposite gender, who’s counting? The seller disclosed to all bidders that the terms are $7,000 OBO (or best offer). Will you be placing the high bid?

Numbers matching, 429, 4 Speed and AC, what's not to like ?

[h=1]Numbers Matching Project: 1970 Ford Torino GT[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/torino-1-e1533738281823-630x390.jpg

By Adam Clarke It’s always interesting to me how when I write about or refer to Australian cars on Barn Finds the number of our American readers who rue the fact that certain models of our Australian cars were never sold in the USA. Admittedly we did give you a version of the Pontiac GTO and the Chevrolet SS, both of which we’re proud. We also gave you the horrible little front-wheel drive Mercury Capri of the early 1990s for which I will continue to apologize! Equally I wish that Ford had imported a car like this Torino into Australia, if for no other reason than we never received a car with this many cubic inches under the hood. This one is for sale here on eBay. Located in Augusta, Georgia, this Torino is for sale with a clear title. With six days remaining bidding is at $3,050 but the reserve hasn’t been met.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/torino-2-e1533738328865-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/torino-2-e1533738328865-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This is a project car for sure. It really does need work, and there are some rust issues that will need to be addressed. The seller is very candid about this. There is rust that will require repair or replacement work in a number of areas including the driver’s floor pan that will need replacing. The filler panel between the back glass and the trunk lid could be repaired, but the seller recommends that it also be replaced. Other areas that require repair include the middle hood brace (but the hood is okay), the top of the tail light panel, and small areas under the battery tray and a small area in one of the lower rear quarter panels. The Marti Report verifies that this car is 1 of 1, but you’d need to have a look at that to verify whether that unique claim is something that adds value to the car or is not significant. There is a copy of the report in the eBay ad.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/torino-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior of this Ford is a real mixed bag. The seller says that he feels that the interior needs replacing, but I think that some of it could be easily salvaged. The dash pad and carpets are certainly due for a visit to the nearest garbage skip, but I think that new covers would address the main issues with the front seats. The door cards look quite good as does the rear seat. The car came with a console, but this was broken when a passenger decided to use it as a third seat some years ago.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/torino-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/torino-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] There’s no substitute for cubic inches, and this GT has them in abundance. To quote that often used phrase, this ran when parked. However, the motor hasn’t been started since 1994. This may not be an issue, but it may also be one that knocks a fair hole in your wallet. The seller states that the engine has never been out of the car and that it is a numbers matching car. That 429-4V is backed by a C6 transmission, and it could be a bonus for the new owner that this car was ordered with air con.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/torino-5-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/torino-5-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Looking around the internet doesn’t reveal many Torino GTs for sale at present. I did find a nice matching numbers car for sale with the 429-4V but backed by a 4 speed. The asking price on that was $30,000. If the reserve on this one is not too high then it could be a project that makes sound economic sense. If the rust issues are addressed and the drive-train doesn’t consume too much money, then the new owner could finish up with quite a nice car. But I still have to ask Ford this question: Why didn’t we get an engine like this in Australia?

[h=1]Solid Project Car: 1968 Ford Mustang[/h]

By Adam Clarke Located in Martinsburg, West Virginia and listed for sale here on eBay is this 1968 Mustang. Offered with a clear title, the seller has set a BIN of $8,000 but there is an option to make an offer.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-2-2-e1534173585762-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-2-2-e1534173585762-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I think that the first thing that impresses me with both this car and the seller is that they don’t try to be what they aren’t. The odometer on this Mustang sits at 45,000 miles, but the seller is not trying to hit potential buyers with a “45,000 genuine miles” claim. They clearly state that the car has 145,000 on the clock. They also clearly state that the car has rust spots, but they claim that this old Ford has always been garage kept so that potentially this rust has been kept to a minimum. Of course being a Mustang I would certainly be checking all of the usual places that Mustangs hide their nasty surprises that they can spring on unsuspecting buyers. The paint is showing some signs of crazing in places, but the body appears to be straight and panel gaps are consistent. One variation from the standard is the Cragar wheels. I honestly don’t actually mind them, but I’m glad to say that the owner is including the original wheels with the car.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-3-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-3-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior, which is original, seems to present quite well. One nice touch is that this particular Mustang was ordered with the optional leather seats which are notoriously long-lived if cared for properly. The dash and dash pad looks to be in good condition. The photo quality is grainy, so it is hard to tell whether there are some issues with the top of the passenger side door card, or if it’s a trick of the light. What the photo quality doesn’t hide is the cover on the steering wheel or the seam separation on the edge of the driver’s seat back.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-4-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-4-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Under the hood resides that sweet little 289ci engine. It is backed by an automatic transmission and also features power steering. The engine is largely stock except for the addition of Tri-Y headers and a Flowmaster dual exhaust. The owner states that the car has been well maintained, but that the engine hasn’t been started for five years. The condition of the engine bay is a pretty fair reflection on both the mileage of this car and the fact that it has been sitting for an extended period. I’m really glad that this Mustang is structurally sound. I’ve looked at some examples where those spider’s webs would be considered structural.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-5-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-5-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] One of the things that I really like when I am looking at a car that I am considering buying either as a daily driver or as a potential project, is to open the trunk and find that any genuine trunk mats, covers or accessory bags are not only intact but in decent condition. As you can imagine the sight of this trunk made me pretty happy. It all looks rather neat for a 50-year-old car. However, I am trying to work out if that’s rust that I can see at the bottom of the left-hand wheel tub just near where it meets the trunk floor.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-6-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-6-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] As with all earlier Mustangs, I would want to check out all of the usual places before I considered buying this particular car. If it all checks out as solid then it could be a sound base for a project car. One thing that I will say is that taking a look at what is for sale in the way of similarly equipped ’68 Mustangs across the USA once again produced a wide variance in prices that I’ve talked about previously. I refined my search down to purely what was for sale in West Virginia and found exactly the same trend. Having said that, if you are a person who is handy on the tools and this cars is in sound condition, it may be a project that you can take on with confidence, and the end result would be a classic car that you can go on to enjoy for many years.

[h=1]Snake In The Grass: 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1978_ford_mustang_king_cobra_a-e1534347957910-630x390.jpg

By Bill Owens Performance and 1978 – two things as car enthusiasts we don’t normally use in the same sentence. After all, 1978 was all about style and nothing was riding higher at the time than 2 door personal luxury coupes. But this was Ford’s performance effort for the year. The King Cobra was an option introduced mid-way through the 1977 model year. There were 68,408 Mustang II 2+2 coupes made in 1978 (plus another 7,968 Mach I’s) but since King Cobra was an option and not a model, no data was found to determine just how rare this car is. This example is found here on eBay.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1978_ford_mustang_king_cobra_b-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1978_ford_mustang_king_cobra_b-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This is not the best interior shot I’ve ever seen, but it still shows that a little work is in order. The seats seem to be in good shape without any obvious rips but a good cleaning is in order. However, the dash pad is warped and the driver’s armrest is missing. There probably are other interior bits that will need replacing as well, such as carpeting. This car comes with an automatic transmission.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1978_ford_mustang_king_cobra_c-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The performance wasn’t riding too high even with the largest available engine. The 302 V-8 in this small pony car produced only 139 HP. Looks like quite a bit of detailing may be in order here as well. Yet this engine has only seen 62,873 miles of use. This model had the optional air conditioning, but the compressor is missing.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1978_ford_mustang_king_cobra_d-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1978_ford_mustang_king_cobra_d-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This King Cobra has the T-top option and the glass panels appear to be in good condition. I’m sure that would be a costly item to replace. The seller has included a new set of tires, and it still sports its original wheels with center caps.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1978_ford_mustang_king_cobra_e-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1978_ford_mustang_king_cobra_e-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Some of the items included in the King Cobra option included King Cobra lettering on the doors, black grille (without Mustang emblem), sport steering wheel, hood scoop and snake tape treatment on the hood. If you look closely, I think you can faintly see the cobra, although it’s greatly faded out. As of this writing, the bid is at $2,125, and apparently, the reserve has already been met. NADA value for this model is at $12,167 for high value, $10,187 for average value and $3,340 as it sits. Could this King Cobra be worth the effort of restoring?

[h=1]Rare Cat: 1970 Boss 302 Cougar Eliminator[/h]

By Chris Clark Finding a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang isn’t that hard to do. Finding a 1970 Boss 302 Cougar is a different story. For some, finding a rare muscle car is the name of the game. This Boss 302 Eliminator is likely to catch the interest of a lot of those in search of the rare ones. This reader submission, up for auction here on eBay, might be one that is worth the investment of a full restoration.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Cougar-Engine-Bay-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Cougar-Engine-Bay-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Make no mistake about it, this one will need a lot of parts and a lot of work. The seller states that most of the Eliminator’s original components are missing, with the major ones being the engine and transmission. The seller does say, though, that a Boss 302 service short block has been located through a third party for an additional $2,800.

The listing does state how rare the car is, with options that might even make it rarer. The included Marti Report does verify these options and certainly would help with bidder confidence. The drum brakes might be the most interesting option found on a performance car like this.

A restoration like this doesn’t cost thousands of dollars, but tens of thousands of dollars pretty easily. But could it be worth it? It’s not often that a restorer can ultimately get back what they have put in a project, but a rare car like this might be worth the investment. So, what could this Boss 302 Cougar Eliminator sell for in its current condition and what would it be worth in restored condition?

[h=1]Original Muffler! 1968 Shelby GT500 KR[/h]

By Todd Fitch This bent but far-from-destroyed 1968 Shelby GT500 KR in Dundee, Illinois would make a fine addition to anyone’s collection of automotive art. The GT 500 KR topped the lineup of Shelby Mustangs for 1968, benefiting from the Shelby-improved version of Ford’s reworked 428 cid Police Interceptor engine. Shelby trademarked the phrase King of the Road before he knew it would adorn this model, and as everyone knows, It’s good to be the King! The $115,000 Buy It Now price here on eBay limits the pool of bidders. The rest of us can dream.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1968-Shelby-GT500-KR-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1968-Shelby-GT500-KR-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller explains that the front-end accident sidelined this high-performance classic in 1976 and it hasn’t carved up a corner since. I wouldn’t recommend throwing a Shelby Mustang under a tarp as an alternative to dollar-cost averaging of a well-managed 401k or IRA, but the Shelby will probably accrue value over time more than that Corolla in the backyard that got you through high school.

Officially rated at 335 HP, the massaged 428 likely made better than 400 HP (thanks to americanmuscle.com for some details). The seller reports that the engine and other key parts are original, including one muffler! It’s unrealistic to suggest that the new owner might take this rare Shelby and “just fix it up and drive it,” but it sure would be a hoot. Can you imagine showing up at a Show-n-Shine in small-town America with a GT500 KR running perfectly and sporting a dirty engine compartment and an off-colored front fender? You’d give people a story they would tell for years after they’d forget seeing one perfectly restored. What sort of royal treatment would you give this King?

[h=1]One Family For 46 Years: 1972 Ford Gran Torino CJ[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/torino-1-2-630x390.jpg

By Adam Clarke Listed for sale here on Craigslist is this 1972 Ford Gran Torino. Located in Yelm, Washington, this car comes with a clean title and an asking price of $4,000. This great car was brought to our attention by Barn Finds reader Jack M and we thank him for it.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/torino-2-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/torino-2-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Cars like this Gran Torino always interest me when I see them advertised. This car has been in the same family since new. I always wonder how heavy the owner’s heart is when they decide to end their ownership of a car after 46 years. This one has been sitting now for more than 10 years and is a project car that is going to require a bit of work to bring it back to life. The photos back the seller’s claim that the car is straight and that the chrome appears to be in good condition. There is some rust under the vinyl roof, but we don’t get any photos to ascertain how bad it is.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/torino-3-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Under the hood resides the Q Code 351ci Cobra Jet engine which is backed by a C6 transmission. The seller states that the engine will run if gas is poured down the carburetor. That’s a positive because at least we know that it runs. There’s a lot of work to do here. Since this is a matching numbers car I would assume that the new owner will probably be inclined to undertake a full or at least partial restoration. There are a number of non-original parts under here that would need replacing. There appears to be some parts sitting in the car that I assume will go with the car when sold. Given the fact that this is a one family car, I wonder whether they have retained some of the original parts for the new owner.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/torino-4-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior is not perfect but I’ve definitely seen worse. It’s really hard to ascertain much about the dash. I’ve magnified the photo and think that there may be a crack beginning in the pad on the passenger side. The door cards and other plastic components seem to be in fair condition. The carpet will need replacing and the front seats will need new covers. It’s nice to see that this particular Gran Torino has been optioned with the electric driver’s seat.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/torino-6-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This Ford is most definitely a “project grade” car. There is work to be done, and possibly quite a bit of it. The big question mark hangs over the rust issues. I wish that the seller had included some photos of that so that we could ascertain how bad it really is. We know that the engine runs, but we don’t know how well, or if the rest of the drive-train is operational. Really good ones equipped as this one is are selling for around $13,000 to $15,000. If the rust isn’t too severe and the running gear is okay, then given the fact that this is a numbers matching car could make it a worthwhile project.

[h=1]Last of the Breed: 1977 Ford Country Squire Wagon[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1977-Ford-Country-Squire-Wagon-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1977-Ford-Country-Squire-Wagon-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Lee Aaron Back in the ’70’s, green was a very popular color for decor. Based on my memories of my parents’ carpeting, I can’t imagine why. But maybe it just wasn’t a nice carpet, because the green exterior and interior, along with a generous helping of woodgrain, sure do look good to me on this 1977 Ford Country Squire Wagon, for sale here on Craigslist in Orion, Illinois.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/squire2-e1533737721791-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squire2-e1533737721791-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Ford has manufactured several iconic and long-running nameplates throughout its history. Not surprisingly, Mustang and Thunderbird are the top two, but coming in close behind in third is the Country Squire, which was manufactured in various forms from 1950 through 1991. The Country Squire was the top of the line wagon, and as such it always included woodgrain on its body panels. 1977 would be the next-to-last year before Ford downsized its cars, following the lead of the other domestic manufacturers. Engine options included a 400ci or a 460ci V8, both of which were less impressive than their cubic-inch displacements make them sound, as they were both heavily tuned towards fuel economy and emissions-compliance.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/squire4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squire4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The seller says this wagon was in storage for 18 years, although no further history is provided. The car certainly looks like it may have been stored for a while, and the 56000 miles on the odometer could be original, but a further, in person inspection is warranted. Cars like this were usually bought to be driven, not babied, and low-mileage examples aren’t common.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squire1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I generally prefer GM’s offerings to Ford’s, but I must say this wagon checks a lot of boxes for me. The green paint, the wood grain, the covered headlights, the green interior, the big V8, all in a big, mid-70’s wagon – what’s not to like here? The only thing that’s missing is a third-row seat, which the seller says this car does not have. Selling my wife on a car like this would be tough, but selling her on this car and on having the kids ride in the cargo area might be impossible. Hopefully this car finds its way into the hands of someone who will preserve it.

[h=1]The Boss Is Back: 1969 Mustang Boss 302[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/left-front-e1533666594907-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/left-front-e1533666594907-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Bobby Miller Boss 302’s were developed specifically for the SCCA Trans-Am Road Racing Series. They were all built with special high-performance engines that featured 4-bolt mains, screw-in freeze plugs, and special heads using a canted valve design among other performance-enhancing features. Only 1,628 examples were produced for the 1969 model year. Along with the Shelby’s and Boss 429’s, they are among the most desirable Mustangs in existence today. This particular example has never been restored. Located near Houston, Texas, it is listed here on Craigslist for $37,000.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/right-rear-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller claims, “all original sheet metal front to back”. It appears to be really straight sheet metal, too. Primer spots indicate that someone has attempted to suppress some surface rust at some point. The front and rear spoilers are there. The seller has the rear window slats too. They will be included in the sale. The wheels are reported to be the original Magnum 500’s.

Yes, there is some rust, but if you have looked at many unrestored Mustangs of this era, you know the overall the condition of this car is well above average. The good news is that the floor pans are solid, and the shock towers, frame rails, and torque boxes are all excellent.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/interior-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interior-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] No surprises on the inside. Except for the seats, the interior looks like it could be fluffed up and used as is unless one was going for an all-out show car. The odometer reads 95,138 for all that’s worth.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/engine-1-630x390.jpg

The seller has the heads and intake manifold from the original engine but alas, the original block has been lost to the ages. I did a quick search on the internet to find that complete Boss 302 engines occasionally change hands for around the $10,000 range. But then there’s the issue of finding one that has a compatible date code. A daunting task no doubt, but it could happen. Considering the desirability of Boss 302 Mustang’s, there’s no question someone will step up and make a show stopper out of this one. Will that someone be you?

[h=1]Needs Work but all Original: 1966 Mustang Fastback[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-1-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-1-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Adam Clarke Over the last few years there seems to have been an increase in the number of older Mustangs breaking cover for sale as potential project cars. This is not just a trend that has emerged in the USA, as the same trend has occurred here in Australia. I’m not sure what has driven the trend in the US, but here in Australia it seems to have coincided with the release Down Under of the current Mustang by Ford Australia. Our featured ’66 Fastback is listed for sale here on Craigslist. Located in Fontana, California, this Mustang is offered for sale with a clean title and is priced at $24,000. Once again our eagle-eyed Barn Finds reader Michael has located another gem for us to write about.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-2-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-2-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The body on this Mustang looks generally quite straight. The seller claims that there is little to no rust and that it’s very solid underneath. If this is the case it’s reassuring because we all know that with Mustangs it’s not the rust that you can see that you need to worry about. I did notice that there appears to be some rust on the lower front corner of the passenger side door. There may also be some starting to appear in the corresponding location on the driver’s door.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The engine is the C code 289ci that when new produced 200hp. The seller doesn’t indicate whether the engine turns freely, let alone runs. I’ve seen cars with dirtier engines and engine bays than this that have been daily drivers, so there’s always hope. It appears that the car has also been specified with power steering which could be a nice bonus. The owner describes it as a ” true survivor car that has not been tampered with”. This doesn’t mean that it is a matching numbers car, so this probably bares checking.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-4-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-4-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The dash appears to be in fairly good condition. The original radio is missing but otherwise it looks okay. The dash pad is a little less confidence inspiring. There doesn’t appear to be any cracks present, but I think that it might be warped and discolored. I would be banking on replacing it in the near future because once the color changes cracking usually isn’t that far away.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-5-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-5-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seats are in really good condition. The owner states that these are the original ones. If this is the case I’m amazed by the difference in condition between the seats and the remainder of the interior. The carpet and roof liner both need to be replaced according to the owner. The one door card that we can see appears to have some stretching in the vinyl. The trim in the rear passenger area also looks like new.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-7-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-7-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] If the underside of this Mustang is as solid as the seller claims then this would be quite a good project. There’s two things that I’d really love to do. I’d really like to get a look underneath, and I’d really like to know if the motor turns freely. I can guarantee that when our readers see this article, some of you will say that $24,000 is too high. Last month I wrote up this 1970 model. That car was junk and had no motor, transmission or interior and it still went for $10,000. To me that makes $24,000 seem like a pretty fair deal.

[h=1]Blazing Comet: 1972 Mercury Comet[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1972-Mercury-Comet-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1972-Mercury-Comet-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Adam Clarke The Mercury Comet and the Ford Maverick of the early 1970s are cars that people seem to either love or hate. This 1972 Comet is a car that I suspect will see comments from both sides of the fence. You will find this one listed for sale here on Craigslist. Located in Pittston, Pennsylvania, this Comet comes with a clean title and an advertised price of $6,500. A big shout out to Barn Finds reader Pat L for bringing this Mercury to our attention.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/comet-2-600x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"600","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/comet-2-600x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] At first glance this little Mercury looks quite nice. The seller claims that the car has traveled 39,330 original miles. I don’t know whether they have any documentation to verify this, so I take such claims with a pinch of salt. I do think that the American Racing wheels set off quite well on this car. I don’t mind the color combination with the vinyl top, but that top has some issues. The reality is that it will need replacing. If I were the owner and had to do this I would be quite inclined to maybe either ditch the vinyl top and paint the roof, or consider a slightly darker vinyl to provide a better contrast to the paint color.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/comet-3-600x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"600","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/comet-3-600x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The interior is in generally reasonable condition. The seat and door cards appear to be quite good. The carpet is showing some fairly significant fading there and would require some attention to bring the interior up a notch. The dash pad looks okay, but the wheel rim cuts across our view in the spot where I’d most expect to see any early cracks. The wheel itself is also showing some wear, and I think that there may be a crack in the rim, but I can’t be sure.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/comet-4-600x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"600","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/comet-4-600x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Under the hood is the 302ci engine backed by an auto transmission. Power output on the 302 took a substantial hit between the 1971 and ’72 model years. The seller has installed a 4-barrel carburetor along with header and a new dual exhaust, so hopefully this has unleashed a few extra “ponies”. The car is also fitted with air con, which would be great on those nice Summer days that you people in the northern hemisphere are currently enjoying.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/comet-5-600x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"600","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/comet-5-600x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] As I said in the beginning, these are cars that seem to divide people’s opinions. I guess that part of that is due to the fact that they really don’t fit neatly into any particular category. This means that it doesn’t matter how you classify them, they will always have short-comings in that particular category. Checking out what is out there for sale at the moment has shown me a non-runner for $4,500 at one end of the scale, and a absolutely immaculate example at $16,000. To my mind it could potentially be worth the price if the mileage can be verified. That vinyl top is sure to impact the value. I’ve made a decision though: I’m sticking firmly on the fence and letting the readers decide!

By Reader This Mustang has a lot going for it! For one, it’s a Mach 1 with the 390 S-Code V8. It’s also in amazing condition inside and out. Reader Russell S puts it best when describing this car, “This car is perfect for anybody that had a dream of buying a new Mach 1 in 1969 but couldn’t buy one then”. It looks almost as good as new and has seen just 67k miles over the past 49 years. If you’d love to have this Mustang you can find it in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania and you can contact Russell about buying it via the form below!
