The seller of this 1968 Mustang describes it as “essentially a barn find from Maine”. You will find it listed for sale here on Craigslist. Located in Albany, New York, it is offered with a clean title and a price of $7,500.

This particular car doesn’t look too bad. I can’t see any really obvious corrosion or rust anywhere, but of course we can’t see what’s underneath. The seller doesn’t do us any favours with the photo quality, but one thing that I can see is that the rear bumper has taken a hit virtually dead center. There is also a crack in the radiator grille, but otherwise the external trim looks quite good. One thing that concerns me is that the vinyl top has separated at the seam on the driver’s side. It’s hard to tell how bad it is, but hopefully it hasn’t allowed moisture to get between the vinyl and the body.

The interior was a bit of a surprise packet for me. Although the photo is a bit dark which limits what we can see, it all looks quite good, with no obvious tears, cracks or discoloration. The rear seat also looks really good. You could comfortably use this interior as it stands with no problems at all.

Under the hood is the 289ci V8 backed by a 3-speed manual transmission. The seller states that it starts, runs and drives, but that it was last registered in 2007. It would be interesting to find out what maintenance work (if any) has been performed since the car came out of the barn. One thing that bugs me is the way the seller has just haphazardly sat the top on the air cleaner. It’s just plain distracting.

There are few things in the automotive industry that are a certainty. One of the closest things to a certainty that you’ll find is that the pre-1970 pony cars will continue to increase in value independent of what the rest of the economy might be doing. This Mustang is not perfect, but from what we can see in the photos it looks like the kind of car that you could use as it stands while performing restoration work when time and money allows it (if indeed you wanted to restore it). That sounds like a reasonable compromise to me, but does it sound that way to you?

[h=1]Barn Cat: 1969 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible[/h]

Note to self: when painting a car do more prep work than just wiping it down and then spraying it a different color. That’s one issue with this otherwise desirable 1969 Mercury Cougar XR-7 convertible that has been parked in a barn since 1993. This green and/or gold ragtop is on Craigslist with an asking price of $5,500 and it sounds like they might negotiate a bit. It’s located in West Union, Ohio – let’s check it out.





image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/082618-1969-Mercury-Cougar-XR-7-convertible-1d-e1535397387278-630x390.jpg

The first-generation Cougar has to be the most desirable for this model and a convertible just adds to the mix. 1969 is when the classic divided electric-razor grille was replaced with the one seen here and it looks like these headlights are both in the closed position. Usually that’s a good sign, unless it’s night time and you’re trying to drive home and they don’t open. This car has 67,000 miles on it according to the seller and as you can see it’ll need a full restoration, hopefully back to its original gold color.

The seller mentions: “25-30 years ago two patch panels were installed on both sides in the lower quarters behind the rear wheels, the car was ‘prepped’ badly with just a wipe down and repainted a green over the original gold color and now the paint is ‘flaking off’.” They talk about its storage history: “was pulled into a barn 25 years ago (1993 plates) to put on new brakes and a new top. The brakes got done, but not the top, so it sat there until last month when it was purchased and loaded on a trailer for a 100 mile ride to its new home. The original top became ‘black confetti’ on the way but still has the two piece rear glass.”

The interior looks better than I thought it would with that shredded convertible top but you can see that it’ll take more than a quick cleaning to flip, I mean to bring this car back to its former glory again. 1969 was the first year that a convertible was offered on the Mercury Cougar and thankfully the original buyer of this car splurged for the XR-7 model over the base model. That included the fancy faux woodgrain and nice upholstery seen here. This car would have been a touch over $3,500 new in 1969, or less than I have lost on a couple of cars when reselling them recently. Ouch. To have a time machine!

This is the 351 cubic-inch V8 which with a two-barrel carb would have had 250 hp. The seller says that “351 Windsor motor and C-4 Trans and has been soaked with ATF before turning over. Pulled a valve cover and it is ‘clean as a whistle’.” Hopefully the next owner can get it moving again. If there aren’t any hidden rust issues other than the mentioned rear quarters, this could be a nice project for someone. Hagerty is at $12,800 for one in #4 fair condition so $5,500 or offer sounds like a decent price.

Acapulco, Mexico is known for a great travel destination, full of beaches and hopping nightlife. Most fly there, but if a ride is in order then this might be it. Well, in due time. This 1968 Alcapulco Blue Ford Mustang won’t be going anywhere fast but could come home with you sometime soon. If you are interested in traveling to Warwick, Rhode Island and exchanging $2,750 for this machine, you can find it here on Craigslist. Thank you to AMXBrian for the tip.

The car is said to have the original V8 engine and transmission that is claimed to turn freely. It has factory air conditioning and deluxe seat belts. There is a lot of rust and the floors will need to be replaced. There is no title for the car. That may prove to be a sticky situation in getting it restored and roadworthy, but not impossible. Plenty of extra parts accompany this car although there is not a defined list of what those parts are.

Before road tripping to Mexico, this car will need a nice interior. The parchment colored interior is in decent shape. Some serious cleaning should get it shined up nicely. New interior can always be put in as well. The center console is out of the car, which makes sense due to the floors. A white interior would go nicely with the white vinyl top that adorns the roof of the car. The hood looks like it was taken off to be stripped of paint.

A pony ride south of the border in the blue ride is a dream. It might be a few steps closer than most other projects though. Considering most of the parts are out or off, it makes the steps of assessing the damage and planning the restoration much easier. There are plenty of aftermarket Mustang parts. Lastly would be to paint it in a stunning shade of Acapulco Blue, just like the water on the beaches of the city it gets the name from.

The term hauling, or maybe more appropriate, haulin’, has a double meaning with this custom 1980 Ford Pinto pickup. This custom pickup is listed on Hemmings in Beachwood, Ohio and the seller is asking $19,900 or best offer.

Most of us have seen custom pickups before and maybe even Pinto pickups but this one is something special. They have even been featured here on Barn Finds in the past. I’m not personally enamored by the paint scheme or the wheels, come to think of it, but this looks like one quality build. The seller says that this “Professionally built, this one-of-a-kind 1980 Pinto pickup is finished in White with Metallic Copper stripes and hand-painted design motifs that give it an unmistakable late 70s/early 80s vibe. Its finish has a beautiful luster.”

Being a big fan and owner of some oddball minibikes and scooters, I’m always thinking about some way to haul them around to shows. This would be a fun minibike hauler for sure although the bed/box is pretty small, maybe one would fit and it might have to go diagonally. But look at the quality of the inside of the bed! Good grief, that’s nicer than our living room. The details seem to have been carried out very well, too. Here’s a photo of it at a car show, this would sure draw a crowd.

There’s no manual transmission here, bummer. I’m a sucker for a manual in any vehicle but especially in something like this. The seller has loaded several dozen photos onto their Hemmings listing and they’re worth checking out for sure. This is one nice vehicle, I can’t imagine the amount of time and money that goes into making something like this. They have even included a YouTube video showing a walkaround of this car – this thing is fantastic! Yes, I was also hoping that there would be a Jay-Leno-like burnout at the end.

Here’s what most of us wanted to see, what’s lurking under that hood. This 2.3L inline-four.. hey, wait a minute! THANK YOU for not putting an SBC in there! The seller says that this is a “302 CID V-8 engine and a C-4 three-speed automatic transmission, this little truck moves!” They go on to list some of the features of this build and this would really be a fun rig to own. Have any of you seen a custom Pinto pickup?

[h=1]What The? 2008 Edsel 50th Anniversary Tribute[/h]

By Montana Danford Although Edsel’s were arguably one of the biggest design flops in automotive history, they have recently picked up steam as desirable collector cars. Named after Henry Ford’s son, Edsel B. Ford, less than 120,000 were produced during their three year run from 1958 to 1960, making them a fairly limited oddity. This car is a 2008 Crown Victoria and was customized as a tribute to the Edsel. It can be found here on RM/Sotheby’s, the car is up for auction on Friday, August 31st. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Michael for the tip on this unique car!


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/c3900aff57acfbfc759c43770a5d6af70af2ce3e-630x390.jpg

Cerame produced two 50th Anniversary Edsels, based on new Ford Crown Victorias.”

Here you can see the Edsel inspired taillights as well as the really neat embossed bumper. While this car is not the most desirable custom car, the auction estimate is only $10,000 to $15,000 and is being sold at no reserve. For that price, the new owner gets a neat conversation piece that may go up in value. What do you think? Is this car worth taking a five-figure gamble? Maybe you are an Edsel enthusiast and would love to own this car to keep? Let us know.

[h=1]Showroom New: 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible[/h]

By Adam Clarke With Summer drawing towards a close this may not be the ideal time to sell a convertible, but for potential buyers, this might be the perfect time to search for one in preparation for next Summer because negotiating powers on convertibles can get stronger as temperatures get colder. With that in mind, we have this 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible which is listed for sale here on Craigslist may be an option to consider. Located in Kansas City, Missouri, it comes with a clean title and a $15,000 asking price.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-2-9-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-2-9-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The fourth generation Mustang was released in 1994 and marked the first major redesign of the Mustang since the introduction of the Fox body in 1979, although underneath the car was now based on an updated version of the platform known as Fox-4. The styling was softer than the previous model, and the notch-back and hatchback were no more. This convertible comes from the second year of production and has only traveled a claimed 9,700 miles. I am hoping that the seller has documentary evidence of this, but I must add that for a car that is 23 years old, it does look quite good. The paint looks great and the panels appear to be straight with no obvious issues. I know that this is purely personal preference, but I’m not that sold on the color of the soft-top. To my mind, I feel that it either should be lighter to complement the interior trim, or it should be black. As I said though, personal preference.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-3-8-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-3-8-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] When a seller makes bold claims about low mileage, this can be fraught with danger. An interior like the one on our feature car can expose a multitude of sins due to the predominantly light-colored trim. Trim of this color can expose dirt, staining or other flaws, and light-colored plastic trim is particularly prone to discoloring. This interior basically provides quite reasonable support for the mileage claim. The seats, carpet and plastic trim all look really good, and this is another car with contoured seats that look really supportive and comfortable.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mustang-4-8-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-4-8-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This convertible is the GT version, so under the hood sits the 302ci Windsor V8 engine. In fact, this was the last year that the Windsor was offered before being dropped in favor of the 4.6l engine. The 302 produced 215hp which finds its way to the road in this car via a 5-speed manual transmission. It’s hard to see much under here due to the quality of the photo, but I hope that the seller has a well-documented service history as this will certainly make it a more attractive proposition for any potential buyer.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mustang-5-8-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] So I guess the big question has to be: Is it worth the asking price? That is entirely dependent on whether the seller has documentary evidence to back their mileage claims and proof of service history. If they have then that puts this at the top end of this model, and that would potentially justify the asking price. What hurts this is that I’ve had no problem finding 1995 GT Convertibles with higher mileages for up to $9,000 less than the asking price on this one. Having said that, this is probably in the best condition of any that I’ve been able to locate, so in the end, it will all come down to personal preference.

By Reader At first glance, this F150 just looks like a super clean old Ford truck, but it’s so much more than that! Reader Bradley H gave it a full restoration, making it look as good as new, but once he got to the mechanicals he went a different route than original. He had the original 460 V8 balanced, blueprinted and stroked. It’s not a displacing 545 cubic inches and has been dynoed at almost 600 horsepower! Now, this is what you call a sleeper. Be sure to take a closer look at his ad via the link below.
What Makes It Special? Fully restored “total sleeper”. Completely stock appearance with a 545 Cu. In. stroker V8

Body Condition: Excellent. Full nut and bolt frame off restoration completed. You will be hard pressed to find one nicer.
Mechanical Condition: In excellent shape. 1,500 miles on the complete drivetrain since restoration. Engine runs flawlessly and dynoed at 591 HP and 670 ft/lbs torque. Over 600 ft./lbs at only 2000 RPM! Factory 460 block, fully balanced and blueprinted with Scat stroker crank, forged piston, Eagle H beam rods, Trick Flow TFS street heads.

Seller’s Listing: Here on eBay
This would be one fun truck to cruise around in and you’ve got more than enough power to blow the doors off of most cars on the road! Our thanks to Bradley for listing this sweet truck with us. If you have something interesting parked in your garage that needs to go, please consider advertising it here on Barn Finds!

[h=1]Maybe A Unicorn: 1965 Mustang Coupe[/h]

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1965-Mustang-Drivers-Front-View-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Jeff Bennett We feature first generation Mustangs a lot here at Barn Finds, and for good reason. Mustangs are almost the perfect car for a beginning enthusiast on a budget. Coupes are selling at affordable amounts, these cars are bone simple mechanically, and parts are incredibly plentiful. Still, finding a good one to start with can be tough. This 1965 Mustang coupe, being sold on craigslist in Hutchinson, Kansas, may be a great start. Stored for twenty years in a garage, this pony may be the rust-free unicorn that some beginning collector is looking for, and the $4,500 price seems quite a bargain. Thanks to Adam C. for this great tip!

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"506","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1965-Mustang-Drivers-Rear-View-506x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] As we expect from craigslist ads, there are few words in the description. In fact, the few words tell us that the car has been in storage for twenty years. That is it. In the basic information column, we learn that the car is in good condition and that it has a good title and a manual transmission. We also learn that the car is green. Most likely the specific color is Ivy Green Poly.

Inside, we see that the manual transmission information is incorrect. This is a six-cylinder car with an automatic transmission. We can also see that the seats are in remarkably good condition, and the carpet appears usable. Of course, a thorough detailing would be in order. It is also apparent that there is no rust in the door sills. Just lots of what looks to be drywall dust.

Unless this car was the restroom and dormitory for generations of rodents, the new owner may be able to get by with the original upholstery.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"506","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1965-Mustang-In-Storage-506x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] In all, this Mustang looks to be a great buy. The body looks solid, the interior is likely in good shape, and the drivetrain combination is easy to repair. As with any Mustang, a thorough inspection of every nook and cranny would be a must. Mustangs rust in places you will never see with a walk around. Rust repair isn’t cheap or easy on these. It just seems that this one might have escaped all of that unpleasantness.
If this car was close to you, would you head over to have a look at it?

[h=1]Blue Light Special: 1992 Ford Mustang SSP[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/s-l1600-31-e1535694531643-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/s-l1600-31-e1535694531643-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Scott Allen What we have here is the real deal, a genuine retired Florida Highway Patrol ’92 Ford Mustang SSP. Ford produced the Special Service Package (SSP) Mustang from ’82 until ’93 as an alternative pursuit vehicle when the full-size sedan was not needed. The SSP was popular and used by many agencies across the country. The Florida Highway Patrol bought a lot of these over the years and occasionally they come up for sale still in their law enforcement uniform like this one. If you’re in the market for a nice Mustang and are a collector of Police Memorabilia, today might be your lucky day, check it out on eBay in Winter Park, FL with a BIN price of $19,920.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/s-l1600-3-19-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/s-l1600-3-19-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] These cars were all over the road in the early to mid-’90s. I live in Florida and remember seeing a pair of these things stalking their prey along Interstate 4 every time I rode through Orlando, this car probably generated a lot of money for the FHP during its service. The Mustang seems like a very practical car for an agency like the FHP because it was intended for traffic enforcement only and not hauling people to jail and it definitely had the performance needed for pursuit. This car has been in storage for an unspecified amount of time, before storage it received new paint, A/C system, and brakes. Some of the police equipment is still in the car. Usually, these cars are stripped of most equipment before being auctioned so it may not be original to the car, although the ad does say the Radar equipment is rare.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/s-l1600-1-21-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/s-l1600-1-21-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Back when this thing was on the road, cops had to know how to drive stick. The Hurst shifter is a nice upgrade for the T-5 transmission but I would prefer to see the stock shifter in a car like this. From what we can see of the interior, it looks nice. It’s interesting to note that the car is for sale to Non-Florida residents only, apparently, the FHP doesn’t like you driving around in a car using the same markings that are still in use today. When this car was painted it was restored to its former FHP glory. When these cars were sold at government auctions in the late ’90s most were tired looking and had the markings spray painted over. I remember seeing an auction fresh car still wearing the spray paint at the local 1/8 mile strip.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/s-l1600-2-20-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/s-l1600-2-20-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This car looks to be in very nice condition, underneath everything looks rust and leak free from the limited photos. With a hefty asking price like this, I would like to see more photos, especially of the engine. The special service package was designed primarily for police use so there were a few extra features like heavy duty silicone coolant hoses, engine oil cooler, certified calibration speedometer, heavy duty alternator and a few more I may be leaving out. These cars can be found with an automatic but it seems most FHP cars are manual. The engine was the same 225 HP 5.0 found in the civilian Mustangs. Fox Mustang prices are on the rise and this is a very unique car, I am interested to see if it brings the asking price. What do you think, is it worth the price? Have any you Barn Finds readers ever had the pleasure of being stopped by an SSP?

Good solid project car.
[h=1]Blank Canvas: 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 2-Door Hardtop[/h]


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

By Adam Clarke
This 1966 Fairlane Hardtop seems to possess all of the prerequisites for a really top project car. It is listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Dundas, Illinois, it is for sale with a clear title. Bidding is up to $6,200 at this stage but the reserve hasn’t been met.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fairlane-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The seller claims that this is a rust-free car, and certainly the photos in the ad tend to support this claim. The floors look solid as does the trunk. It appears that the owner was trying to achieve a virtually badge-free look for this particular Fairlane, which would explain the spots in the rockers and the rear quarter panels on both sides. What happens with chrome and trim will be the choice of the next owner of this car.

Under the hood is a 351ci Cleveland which is backed by a 4-speed top loader transmission. The engine has been given a bit of a boost with the inclusion of Hooker Headers, Mallory ignition, a Holley intake manifold and a Holley 650 double pumper carburetor. The only thing that is stopping someone from driving it right now is the lack of an exhaust. The Fairlane also features a nine inch differential, new tires, new radiator, new gas tank and new fuel lines.

The interior is where you can have the chance to really put your own personal mark on this car. The dash looks pretty good and the back seat seems to be in pretty decent condition, but the front seats will need new covers. The door trims and rear passenger trim look quite good. There is no carpet or headliner, but the seller has the bows for the headliner.

I look at this car and I see it as a really great opportunity for someone. If the body is as rust-free as it appears in the photos and like-wise for the mechanical components, then the new owner is going to have a blank canvas to finish this Fairlane in the way that they want. Sounds like a good idea to me.

By Adam Clarke
Although warmly received and praised when it was first introduced, the Ford Mustang II has never reached the legendary status of the original Mustang hailing from the 1960s. This particular Mustang II is listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Mansfield, Illinois, it has a clear title. The seller has set an opening bid of $6,499, but at the time of writing there had been no bids.



image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/mustang-2-630x390.jpg

This Mustang appears to have been cared for from new. It is a little bit unclear, but I get the impression that the seller may be the original owner. The car was the recipient of a Ziebart rust protection treatment when new, and has been kept stored in a heated and air-conditioned garage when not in use. The seller states that the Mustang only ventures out of the garage on sunny days. The car is not perfect, displaying a few little scrapes and scratches such as the ones in this photo. It also looks like the rear bumper may be out of alignment on the driver’s side, so maybe it has also had a bump there. The seller does provide some shots of the underside of the car which confirm that the car appears to be rust-free.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The interior looks to be clean and original with no real issues to report. The lid to the glove compartment is out of adjustment, but that should be quite easy to rectify. What is nice is that the seller is not making bold claims about the mileage on this Mustang. He has listed the mileage at 104,000 miles. If that is accurate then the general condition of the interior gives the impression of a car that has been well cared for.



image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/mustang-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
Under the hood is the 302ci engine backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. The seller states that the car has never given him any problems and that it sports new brakes, a new exhaust and new tires fitted to the 13″ factory wheels. While the engine itself appears to be quite clean for the mileage, the engine bay looks a bit dirty, with some obvious staining and surface corrosion obvious on a number of unpainted metal components.



image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/mustang-5-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-5-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
With no current bids on this car on eBay, I wondered what sort of money the seller was seeking for this little Ford. I went looking at current pricing and found this car listed elsewhere for $10,999. If it sells for around its opening bid price on eBay then it could be quite a good buy, but if the price being asked on the alternate listing is close to their expectations then I suspect that they are going to be more than a bit disappointed.

[h=1]Pair Of Ponies: Ford Mustang Fastbacks[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Mustang-Fastbacks-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Mustang-Fastbacks-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Chris-Clark_avatar_1533871027-24x24.jpg

By Chris Clark It’s no secret that fastback Mustangs are one of the more desirable and iconic cars that Ford ever produced. These cars look like they’re moving even when they’re sitting still. This pair found here on Craigslist in Mulvane, Kansas are sitting very still, but that will change with the right buyer.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/White-Fastback-e1536031584889-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/White-Fastback-e1536031584889-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller states that the 1969 is missing the drivetrain but was a 302 with an automatic car. The seller is also upfront with stating that there is plenty of rust, which is not uncommon for Mustangs of this era. Where rust is a huge disadvantage a huge advantage would be finding available parts with ease.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1969-Fastback-e1536031742291-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1969-Fastback-e1536031742291-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The 1970 appears to have an empty engine bay as well, but this one will come with an engine and transmission. Unfortunately, no detail is given on whether or not it is the original drivetrain or if it is even a 302. It has had spring boxes and floor pans replaced already, which would save the new owner a lot of work if done correctly.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1970-Fastback-e1536031685432-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1970-Fastback-e1536031685432-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Both of these Mustangs have their respective titles and the seller intends to send them to a new stable together. It’s easy to see that either of these would be full-blown projects but decent projects nonetheless. Lots of time and money will go into getting these back on the road again so it begs the question… is the $6,800 asking price fair for the pair?

[h=1]Dad’s Old Shelby! Possible Real Barn Find GT 500![/h]

By Todd Fitch Important data point; the VIN recorded in this listing makes no sense as a Ford product. However, plug it into the Shelby Decoder at mustangattitude.com and you get a 1967 Shelby Mustang fastback with 428 cid V8, four-speed manual transmission, painted “Dark Moss Green” with a black interior. In other words, Holy Moses; this might be a real Shelby! Located in Sacramento, California, this 1967 Shelby GT 500 Mustang seeks a new owner here on eBay where an opening bid of $62,000 will get the auction started.

Making them look like they were installed 51 years ago, though, requires additional effort. The Oregon plates show registration of June, 1970-something.

The seller says this was his father’s high school car and Dad was the second owner. If I’d owned this car in high school, I doubt I would have graduated; I certainly wouldn’t have gone to class very often, unless you count Drifting 101. Shelby’s sales literature said “You’ll look twice at the price — just $3995 for the GT 350 and $200 more for the GT 500.” Yowza! The hood (with its unique hood pins) might bring that much today.

Likewise the door panels and metal door plate are removed but included. Comments from Shelby experts welcome below. It’s certainly wearing a Shelby-sized price-tag, and any buyer who doesn’t fancy themselves a risk-taker will perform exhaustive verification before clicking “Place Bid.” Will that person be you?

[h=1]Amazing 2-For-1 Deal: 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible[/h]

By Adam Clarke There are two different philosophies in life. One says that if something seems too good to be true then it probably is, while the other says that sometimes an opportunity is just too good to pass up. I believe that this Mustang package listed for sale here on eBay may be a case of the latter philosophy. Located in Atlanta, Georgia is this pair of Mustangs. The ’67 convertible comes with a clear title, while the ’68 coupe comes with a Bill of Sale. Bidding has reached a mere $3,716.66 at this stage for the package, but if you really wanted them there is a BIN option of $14,000. Remember, he who hesitates is lost.

He was prepared to do whatever it took to whip the body into shape. I’m not even going to try to explain the extent that he has gone to. I think that this invoice from the panel shop who completed the body restoration sums it up rather well.

The seller also has the original 289ci 2-bbl engine, but it is locked. He also has the original transmission. He does also have all of the major interior trim pieces, but he suggests that they aren’t really up to standard and that it might be better for the new owner to replace these. He does say that the top bows and cylinder are there and are in good condition.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-4-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The ’68 is a real bonus and could be viewed as the icing on the cake in this deal. It has some rust, but it is far from being beyond repair. In fact, this car alone would make for a great base for a project. It does have some Bondo in a couple of dent repairs, but the seller seems confident that this could be removed and the panel damage could be massaged back into shape. This is a C Code car fitted with a manual transmission. There is no mention of the mechanical condition of this one, but it is a complete car.

If I were looking for a Mustang project car I’d bite the bullet and hit BIN. I would keep the convertible, sell the ’68, and then pour the proceeds into the convertible. To me, this just looks like a golden opportunity and I would be willing to bet that someone out there will do exactly what I said.

[h=1]Rock Solid Project: 1966 Ford Mustang[/h]

By Adam Clarke Here at Barn Finds, we see our fair share of Mustangs that are described as “project grade”. Some of these are not too bad while some can be pretty marginal due to their propensity to rust. This 1966 Mustang looks like it could be a good one for you to get started on that long-desired project. You will find it listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it is offered for sale with a clear title. Bidding has reached $12,600 at the time of writing.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-2-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I think that we’ve all seen our fair share of Mustang horror stories in the past. What can look like a remarkably sound basis for a project can turn out to be hiding a huge amount of rust in all the wrong places? This one appears to be a good one. The seller provides a multitude of nice clear photos of all of the known trouble spots, and they all look remarkably good. There is some surface corrosion in evidence, but overall the prospects on this one look quite good. This Mustang has undergone a re-paint at some stage, but there is no evidence of any rust repairs. The seller does admit that there is some evidence of minor dent repair and also that the paint is in pretty poor condition, but that’s probably not surprising since the car spent the majority of its life residing in the New Mexico desert.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-3-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] We don’t get much in the way of information on the interior. The seller does state that it is complete and that the seats will need recovering, but we know little else. There are a couple of photos of the rear area of the car and they don’t look too bad for a car that has lived in the desert.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-4-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The original drive-train for this Mustang is long gone. There is a 289ci 4V which is backed by an automatic transmission and an 8″ rear end. The motor was said to run four years ago, but the seller hasn’t attempted to start it. He doesn’t specify whether he has actually checked the engine to ensure that it does turn freely.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-5-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The price of this Mustang is certainly creeping up, but at this stage, it hasn’t headed into the stratosphere as can so often happen. If the pictures are an accurate representation of the condition of this car then it certainly qualifies as a solid candidate for a project car. Given that we’ve recently seen some pretty ordinary ’66 models going for fairly decent money, it will be interesting to see what this one finally sells for.

[h=1]Beverly Hills Fox: 1993 Ford Mustang SSP[/h]

By Matt Hurst Do you ever look at a car and just KNOW it has some amazing stories to tell? This 1993 Ford Mustang SSP originally belonged to a detective in the Beverly Hills Police Department and can now be found for sale on the other side of the country outside Trenton, NJ. It’s currently listed here on eBay with the bidding just over $13k at time of this writing.

The SSP designation stands for Special Service Package, a line of Foxbody Mustangs made available to police departments with a host of upgraded features that could also be customized to meet the department’s specific needs. This Mustang still retains many of its original police features, such as front headlight wig-wags, front and rear strobe function, siren, and front takedown lights. Interior is extremely clean, and being a former detective’s car rather than a patrol vehicle it’s unlikely the back seat saw too many perps.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/s-l1600-6-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The SSP vehicles were marketed by Ford as a speedier, more agile pursuit vehicle than the Crown Vics, Caprices and other large sedans being used by many departments. They featured the same 5.0L engine as their civilian counterpart but with several performance upgrades like oil and transmission coolers, an improved fan clutch and beefier upper control arms. Like most SSP’s, this Mustang is equipped with an automatic transmission rather than the manual which was more common on civilian versions.

With only 64k miles on the odometer and an obviously pampered service life, this Mustang looks to have potential as both a fabulous driver as well as a clean, unique show car. One of my favorite touches in this listing is the pile of paperwork I assume the seller found in the glovebox, including some very cool sales materials for the SSP line, some police-related ephemera, and a business card for “the Centerfold Mansion, by invite only.” Was the detective chasing a lead, meeting an informant, or just there for a good time? Maybe some combination of all three, who knows. Either way, this gorgeous Mustang is ready to create some new stories – and with its police pedigree, you might even catch a break if you get pulled over!

[h=1]Matching Numbers Mustang: 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback[/h]

By Adam Clarke This 1969 Ford Mustang is listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Marion, Alabama, it is being sold with a Bill of Sale. Bidding currently sits at $5,501 but the reserve has not been met.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/mustang-2-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-2-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This Mustang looks like a project car that has stalled for some reason, and is waiting for the right person to come along and complete the job. The seller states that this Mustang will require new front floor pans and a new trunk pan. Certainly this photo shows that things are pretty grim on the driver’s side, but we get no indication of whether the passenger side is as bad (or worse). Unfortunately there are no shots showing the underside of this Ford, but the seller states that the frame is solid with no visible rust.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-3-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Every cloud has a silver lining. While there appears to be quite a bit of work to do on this Mustang to whip it into shape, the seller is including a nice little cache of original ’69 Mustang parts including fenders, glass, doors, trim, etc. In all there are in excess of 100 additional items included in the sale. Unfortunately the seller doesn’t provide any photos of these, but like any good restoration additional parts never seem to go astray.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/mustang-4-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-4-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior is also going to require a fairly substantial list of parts before it gets returned to a respectable state. While the rear seat and associated trim appears to be in decent condition and the dash looks complete, it really looks like virtually everything else will need to be repaired or replaced. The dash pad is quite badly cracked while the carpet, door trims and front seat covers will all need to be replaced.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mustang-5-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The car is numbers-matching and mechanically totally original. The 351ci Windsor engine is backed by an automatic transmission. The car is said to run and drive, which is a nice plus given the scope of work that is required elsewhere. I do detect that the engine has received a dose of “rattle-can rebuild” at some stage in the past as blue over-spray is visible in places.

To me it really doesn’t matter that it is not a Boss or a Mach 1. To me it’s just a good, basic Mustang. I hope that it can be restored to its original glory as it is an attractive car. A huge amount (as always with Mustangs) will depend on just how deep the rust really goes. Is anyone willing to guess how high the price will go?

[h=1]EXCLUSIVE: 1971 Mercury Capri[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/s-l640-1-630x390.jpg

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-includes/images/blank.gif

By Reader While it is going to need some work, but reader Emilio S’s Mercury Capri seems like a great find! These captive imports were based on Ford’s European Capri, which is closely related to the Cortina and is powered by the great little 1.6 liter Kent Crossflow engine. This example was purchased in California and driven all the way up to Toronto, Canada (where it’s currently located) back in March, so it should make for a decent driver as is. It comes with some of the needed parts to make it a nice driver, so if you are interested in giving this survivor a new home, be sure to message Emilio via the form below!
What Makes It Special? Original California body with very little rust. Hagerty insured only 42 examples in 2013 so very rare in North America and most are not original.

Body Condition: Paint is original but very faded with grey primer showing through on the hood.
Mechanical Condition: The car was purchased and driven from California to Toronto at the end of March. Rear brake shoes and shocks replaced en route. Car needs starter motor, blower motor, fan belt, door lock cylinders, headlight. I have purchased but not installed. I will include the extra parts as part of the sale.

The Kent inline four is a bulletproof little engine, so if it’s really only covered 51k miles, this car should have lots of life left in it! You don’t find these cars all that frequently, so if you’ve been looking for a survivor grade example, this one would definitely be worth a closer look! Our thanks to Emilio for listing it with us and if you have a survivor that needs a good home, please consider listing it here on Barn Finds!
