By Adam Clarke This 1969 Mustang Mach 1 appears to be a fairly solid example that would make a great project car. While it isn’t 100% rust free, what rust that is present is not the type that would kill a potential project. You will find it listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it comes with a clear title. Bidding has so far reached $7,100. However, the seller has stated that if the auction achieves more than $15,000 he has a rather tasty sounding crate 302ci Ford Racing engine that he will throw in for free!

Thankfully this particular car seems to have been spared the worst of these problems and is actually solid. The battery tray is rusted and there is some rust in the ends of the frame rails, but areas such as the torque boxes seem to be clean. There is some minor rust in the passenger side floor, but this could be repaired. The rear spring supports seem solid as well, although the seller does recommend fitting short frame rails for peace of mind. The rest of the body looks solid, and there is no rust in the original quarter panels. The car has undergone a number of repaints during its life, and apart from a small amount of Bondo in the doors, it appears to be okay.

The seller does state that the interior is in good condition, but the headliner is shot. This shouldn’t present a great problem, as replacements are fairly easy to source.

However, if the auction heads over $15,000, the new owner will receive the following engine as part of the sale. Crate 302 roller from Ford Racing, E303 Cam, GT40p Heads Ported and Polished, Edelbrock RMP Intake, MSD Billet Distributor, CVF Racing Billet Pulley set, Aluminum Radiator and Billet Oil Pan. The seller will also throw in an automatic transmission as part of the deal. As I said before, that sounds very tasty.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-5-2-e1538719454401-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] There is some work involved in whipping this Mach 1 into shape, but the base car is quite solid. The possibility of securing the engine as part of the deal makes it all the more attractive. Do we have a Barn Finder willing to step up to the plate and take this one on?

[h=1]53k Mile Barn Find: 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1[/h]

By Adam Clarke UPDATE 10/4/18 – Due to a non-paying high bidder, this Mach 1 has been re-listed here on eBay. The seller has also since hooked up a new battery, added fuel, and it fired right up! How high will it goe this time around?
FROM 8/3/18 – Located in Ontario, New York and for sale here on eBay is this 1972 Mustang Mach 1. It’s equipped with a Q-code 351 V8 and a 4-speed transmission. It supposedly only covered 53k miles before being parked in the barn. With a clear title and just under 4 days remaining, bidding has been quite spirited and has taken the price up to $7,900. Something tells me that the price on this one is set to go significantly higher.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stang-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] As you can see from the photos, this particular car really is a barn find. The original owner purchased the car in December 1971 and drove it until putting it away an unknown number of years ago. Two years ago it was removed from the barn. According to the seller it ran and was driven out after its slumber. However, judging by the way the ad has been worded, I somehow doubt that the seller is the one who awakened this car. I won’t say that they are a flipper, but they currently have 2 other cars listed on eBay and the indications are that they have sold others. Anyway, literally nothing has been done to the car since then. It hasn’t even been washed. That pleasure is being left to the new owner. I suspect that washing the car may be the easiest task awaiting the new owner.

This is the moment where I have to use those 2 “r” words: rust and rot. This old girl has it, and it sounds like it’s going to take a lot more than a weekend with your trusty $200 MIG welder to rectify it. To quote the ad: “underside has some rot, floors, shock towers, little behind front fender/ inner fender.” There is also some visible in the usual places on the body panels such as the rear wheel arches. The seller is the eternal optimist. He states that you could drive it as is with as little as a weekend’s work. I would like to see some shots of the rust and rot that he describes before making my decisions, but the expression “hope springs eternal” has started rolling around in my head.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stang-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior is where it starts to get really frustrating for me. At first glance, it doesn’t look that bad, but closer inspection begins to reveal more issues that will cause your wallet to bleed heavily. The dash pad has a couple of cracks in it. The seats appear to be quite good and initially, it appears that a good clean will have them ship shape in no time. However, close inspection of the passenger seat indicates the possibility that the stitching has started to rot. If that is the case then all of the seat seams will need attention. So now the interior is starting to get expensive too.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stang-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Resting quietly under the hood is the Q-Code 351. I’m prepared to get some arguments on that statement. I can guarantee that there will be those who say it is a Q-Code and those who say it isn’t. Regardless, we’re looking at another area that is likely to absorb many, many dollars. The car reputedly ran when it came out of the barn 2 years ago, but the seller has never run it. Depending on how long this has been sitting the new owner may be in for a lot of work. At least bank on replacing all of the rubber items, clutch, fuel pump, a carburetor rebuild and flushing the rest of the fuel system. We haven’t even thought about the brakes yet.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stang-1-e1533226864958-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] For a Ford man such as myself, this car throws me a curve-ball. Of all of the Mustangs these are my least favorite. I’ve always believed that Ford lost its way with the Mustang, and the days of the lithe and lively pony car seemed a world away. But the fact is that Mustangs sell, and they command some crazy prices. A couple of weeks ago I wrote up an article on a 1970 Boss 302. To be brutally honest that car was total junk. It had no engine or transmission, the interior had been stripped, the desirable optional equipment had been removed and the body had more holes than a block of Swiss cheese. And yet bidding was crazy on that one and it went for just shy of $10,000. I am aware that this example is not as desirable as the Boss that I just described, but the fact is that it is a Mustang, it has a 351 and a 4 speed, the numbers match, and it’s complete. I won’t be surprised if it pulls some fairly decent numbers. Just not from me.

[h=1]28k Original Miles: 1973 De Tomaso Pantera[/h]

By Matt Hurst The De Tomaso Pantera was an interesting mash-up of Italian and American know-how, pulling its design cues from Ghia (and their American born designer) and the V8 powerplant and US distribution from Ford. Thanks to reader Rocco B. for the tip on this 28,000-mile example of a 1973 Pantera, which is located in Snohomish, Washington. You can find it for sale here on craigslist for the asking price of $95,000.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/00w0w_jik4WNlCnL6_1200x900-e1538406488465-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/00w0w_jik4WNlCnL6_1200x900-e1538406488465-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The body shows well cosmetically but the photos do leave a lot to be desired – if you’re selling a $100k automobile, maybe spring for a professional photographer? Especially for a car as photogenic as the Pantera! That aside, the seller describes paint and exterior to be in perfect condition, and I can’t see anything offhand to contradict that. It wears Campagnolo magnesium wheels (10″ in the back, 8″ in the front) which the seller states were a rare factory option. Tires also appear to have good tread and are all matching.

The Pantera features a Ford-built 351 cu/in Cleveland V8 engine which is capable of making 310 hp. The seller states that the engine and ZF Transaxle are both original and numbers matching. What I’ve seen from discussion amongst Pantera owners online indicates parts availability seems to be surprisingly good for not just the US made engine, but much of the rest of the car as well – not something I would have expected to see for a car that only moved between 5-6000 units in the US. And while the Pantera had a reputation for being plagued with gremlins from the factory, those issues have probably long been addressed by now or can be sorted with aftermarket fixes.

Interior appears to be in good shape with no rips evident on the leather seats or any major wear. Hard to tell if it’s, again, just the unflattering photos or in need of a bit of a cleaning but looks like at worst a bit of a detailing is in order. Overall this Pantera does appear to have been extremely well kept and looks ready to enjoy! Do you think it will fetch its asking price?

[h=1]V8-Swapped Super Coupe: 1992 Ford Thunderbird[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/tbird-side-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tbird-side-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Jeff Lavery While this may look like an ordinary Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe, there’s some changes made under the hood that make better use of that 5-speed manual transmission. The stock V6 was replaced with a 302 stroked to 347 cubic inches, and it needs some fine-tuning before it’s a reliable runner. While some may wish it was still an original SC underneath, the potential is there for anyone hankering for a V8-powered, 5-speed Thunderbird. Find it here on eBay with no reserve and cheap bidding at the moment.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tbird-motor-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Now, I’m a bit conflicted myself on this build, as I do love factory supercharged cars. They’re increasingly uncommon in this era of turbocharging we’re in, and I can’t imagine the power gains are all that different between the two engines (despite the extra cylinders). The seller has added some other modifications, including Trick Flow aluminum heads and matched camshaft with new lifters, and a Ford Cobra intake manifold. Unfortunately, it’s not quite finished as the seller notes the need for engine computer tuning.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/tbirdi-nterior-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tbirdi-nterior-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior presents well, with thickly-bolstered black leather seats, a crack-free dash and the desirable Mazda-sourced 5-speed manual transmission. Of course, I wonder if that unit is sufficiently built for V8 torque, but the seller doesn’t report any issues there. He did install a new clutch, with 3.08 gears – the limited-slip has been removed, it seems, as I’m assuming it wouldn’t play nicely with the new V8 mill under the hood. That’s a shame, but easily remedied with a suitable locking rear end for the updated engine setup.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/tbird-rear-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tbird-rear-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Of course, the other “pluses” to the Super Coupe are still there, like the unique bodykit and alloy wheels. While I’m always leery of seller’s hyperbole – such as You cannot tell Ford did not produce this car – I have to admit the engine bay looks quite tidy for a one-off conversion. The need for further tuning always leaves me with questions, as one never knows how simple or complex solving computer issues can be. Still, for the current bidding, it seems like a chance worth taking.

[h=1]Chicken Coop Find: 1964 Ford Mustang[/h]

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-1-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Adam Clarke When I was a boy we had chickens, and the only thing in our chicken coop was the aforementioned poultry. The owner of this Mustang found it residing in a chicken coop where it had been since 1978, and he had every intention of restoring it. Too many projects mean that he has decided to part with this car. You will find it listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Gainesville, Georgia, it comes with a clear title. At this stage, bidding has only reached $630.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/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\/10\/mustang-2-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Given its rather humble and less than ideal recent place of residence, this Mustang may well be something of a surprise packet. It certainly doesn’t look pretty, but the rust that is present doesn’t look to be too severe. Certainly, I’ve seen worse cars restored. There is rust evident in the lower rear quarters, and while the underside of the floors have a nice coating of surface corrosion, they still look very solid. However, all of those usual Mustang trouble spots which can present so much grief look surprisingly solid. There are no shots inside the trunk, but if the remaining floors are any indication, then it may not be too bad in there.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/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\/10\/mustang-3-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior is a whole different story. I don’t think that the chickens came home to roost in here, but the interior is quite literally scrap. About all that could be saved are the seat frames and possibly the basic dash. Every upholstered surface is stained, ripped or cracked, and the plastic trim is also beyond help. Probably best to just order a whole new interior there folks.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/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\/10\/mustang-4-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Under the hood is a 289 4V which is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine is not the original, as it was replaced at some point prior to 1972. The condition of the engine is unknown, but we do know that the brakes are history, so there is certainly going to be some major work involved in getting it up and running. The car comes on the roller wheels that you see in the photos, but the seller is including a set of mag wheels that were with the car when he bought it.

There is a lot of work involved, but the dreaded Mustang rust issues appear to have largely missed this particular car. If it is restored then it is a car that will certainly have a unique back-story. How many cars can there be that have been restored after spending 40 years in a chicken coop?

By Reader It might be torn apart, rusty, and missing the drivetrain, but this is a real deal Mustang GT Convertible! Reader Philip D isn’t going to get around to restoring it, so he’s listed it as an Exclusive in hopes of finding a good home for it. It’s going to need a complete restoration, but if you are going to restore a car, a Mustang is always a good choice! It comes with a clean title and all the parts in his photos.

[h=1]12K Original Miles: 1988 Ford Thunderbird[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/tbird-front-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tbird-front-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Jeff Lavery While I normally reserve my excitement for Thunderbirds of this vintage for Super Coupe examples, this one with only 12,400 original miles is tough to ignore. Equipped with the 5.0L V8 and looking like it just rolled out of the showroom, I can’t recall seeing one this nice that wasn’t an SC in years. Find it here on craigslist with an $8,500 asking price that seems like a relative bargain.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/tbird-interior-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tbird-interior-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Obviously, this isn’t the highest spec example you could get, but with a V8 paired to an automatic and near-new condition, this Thunderbird will treat you nicely for years to come. I’d argue it may even appreciate a bit if the miles are kept low. The interior shows no major blemishes, and I have to believe this was a grandma-owned and driven car.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/tbird-rear-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tbird-rear-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The taillights were one of the best-looking designs ever made, and I can’t get over how much I like this color with the Thunderbird’s trademark smoked rear lenses. The topaz / gold / brown color is an unusual find when most Thunderbirds were seemingly optioned in white, red, or black. The factory alloys are a surprisingly good look on a non-SC car, too.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tbird-engine-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The reliable 5.0 V8 has been religiously maintained, according to the seller, and that adherence to factory maintenance specifications extended to the suspension, transmission, and fuel system. The Thunderbird is optioned with upgraded factory audio and the period-cool digital dash. As the adage goes, find a better one – and buy it.

[h=1]Poor Man’s M5: No Reserve 1989 Ford Taurus SHO[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1989-Ford-Taurus-SHO-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1989-Ford-Taurus-SHO-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Jeff Lavery I’ve been dropping not-so-subtle hints that if you have a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 in your garage, I’d love to talk, as the need for a four-door hobby car has become top of mind. In the meantime, if I could get over my aversion to front-wheel drive, this 1989 Ford Taurus SHO here on eBay would be on my short list of vehicles to seriously consider. It’s claimed to be an all-original example and selling at no reserve.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Body-Kit-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Body-Kit-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The first- and second-generation Taurus SHOs are like a poor man’s BMW M5, or Mercedes 400E, with the exception being the power going to the front wheels in the SHO. All the other boxes are checked, from exclusivity (when’s the last time you saw one?) to an engine blessed by a legendary engine builder’s hand (thank you for the intake runners, Yamaha). The SHO also got a model-specific body kit, interior, and wheels, all of which is maintained here.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Five-Speed-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Five-Speed-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The other big deal feature was a standard transmission. While you could get a stick in a first-generation Taurus, why would you? These were very pedestrian vehicles in all other forms, but having a 5-speed with that howling 3.0L V6 up front is a must. The seller says this example comes with crack-free leather seats and carpets with no worn surfaces. SHO interiors of this generation were fairly high-zoot affairs, so they can look worn out if not maintained.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/SHO-24-Valvle-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/SHO-24-Valvle-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Speaking of maintaining, the seller has performed plenty of must-do maintenance: “….had engine manufacturer-recommended timing belt replaced and valves lashed at 84,000 miles. No engine leaks. Transmission and clutch perform like new. Also had wheel bearings repacked, radiator flushed, and driver seat bolster leather replaced with matching ford leather, making it like new.” Well, that explains why the seats look so nice! This seems like a potential bargain at no reserve – definitely one to watch.

[h=1]20th Anniversary Turbo: 1984 Ford Mustang GT350[/h]

By Jeff Lavery The seller claims this tired-looking 1984 Ford Mustang is one of 362 GT350 “Anniversary Edition” Turbo hatchbacks ever made, equipped with the same engine as an SVO sans the intercooler. The Mustang doesn’t run currently and is in need of complete restoration, but the Anniversary editions actually packed some decent upgrades beyond just the turbocharged mill. Find the Mustang here on eBay with an opening bid of $2,800 and no action yet.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-rear-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-rear-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The numbers the seller cites aren’t confirmed, although I did find a lower figure indicating only 350 Turbo GT350 models were built – both convertible and hatchback models. Over 5,000 Anniversary cars were made, but far fewer came with the turbo engine. The other upgrades I spotted were a bit less obvious than the motor, such as the TRX handing package that featured a four-link rear axle and coil springs along with unique shock absorbers. It may even have its obsolete TRX tires still attached.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-interior-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-interior-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The Canyon Red interior also got some additional tweaks, like the Turbo boost gauge on cars so equipped and the nicely bolstered bucket seats. The dash in this example is cracked and will need replacement if restoration is your goal, and hopefully, the upgraded power windows still motor up and down. An upgraded “Premium” sound system was also offered as an option; it’s not confirmed if this Mustang has it. The seller mentions having “…the anniversary badge and owner numbered badge,” so perhaps there’s some added bling not seen here.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-motor-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-motor-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The engine looks quite tired and dusty, with no evidence that anyone beyond perhaps rodents has been under the hood in quite some time. The good news is it’s not hard to find parts or even entire replacement turbo 2.3L engines if this one is toast. While far from being the most valuable Fox Body out there, there’s no denying this Anniversary Edition Turbo was produced in very small numbers and is worthy of restoration, even just to driver-grade condition.

[h=1]Blue Oval Tri-Power: 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL[/h]

By Chris Clark When I see the words “Tri-Power”, I first think of a Pontiac GTO with a 389 or a Corvette with a 427. I can’t really say that I would have associated that with a Ford Galaxie, at least until I saw this 1963 Galaxie listed here on eBay. With nearly one horsepower per cubic inch, I bet this would be a fun car to drive!


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1963-Ford-engine-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1963-Ford-engine-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller states that this is an original G-code 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL with a little over 71,000 miles on the clock. Although original, the 406 cubic inch engine has been rebuilt by Joe Lapine, who is said to be one of the premier Ford engine builders in the nation. Add to that 406 Tri-Power a four-speed Borg Warner T10 and a 9-inch rear end with 4.11 gears and you suddenly have a lot of fun to be had.

The seller states that the car is as it was when it left the factory and shows the normal wear and tear of a 55-year-old car. I always appreciate a fully restored car, but this original condition adds a unique value to this big Ford. This would be the type of car you could take out and drive and not worry about getting a rock chip here or there.

The seller has the Buy It Now price at $25,900 but gives the option to make an offer. What might this car in this shape actually end up going for?

[h=1]Family Owned: 17K Mile 1977 Ford Mustang II[/h]

By Jeff Lavery There are many days when I wish my dad had kept some of his cars for me to own later on, like the smoke silver 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E I still think about. Of course, life doesn’t always afford us the luxury of keeping tired family cars in the family, but the seller of this 1977 Ford Mustang II here on eBay was luckier than most in that his father gave him the car upon his college graduation. It is said to have covered only 17,900 miles from new and wear original paint.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-rear-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-rear-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Now, the seller is a bit hazy on the original paint part, noting that he believes the color hasn’t changed since new. But if the sub-18,000 mileage claim can be verified, there’s little reason to doubt that claim. I think this Mustang II would benefit hugely from a proper detailing, as the photos don’t do a survivor like this much justice. The white vinyl top looks like it would clean up well, along with the hubcaps and engine bay.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-interior-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-interior-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller is correct that the white leather (vinyl?) seating surfaces and door panels are eye-catchers, and perhaps offer the best evidence that the claimed mileage is original. He also notes the dash is uncracked and all interior features work as designed. The black carpeting looks clean as well, and amazingly, the A/C is said to still be functional. It’s incredibly hard to keep an interior like this looking good, so kudos to the seller for preserving it so well.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-motor-1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-motor-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The engine isn’t the desirable 302, so that’s probably the biggest letdown. Still, it’s said to run well and the seller still uses the car for the occasional errand to keep it humming. A tune-up was performed in the past year, hoses are said to be good, and a fresh battery was recently installed. The seller is moving and will not have space for the Mustang, which prompts the sale. It’s listed with a $6,500 Buy-It-Now and the option to submit a best offer.

By Jeff Lavery This 1978 Ford Mustang Cobra II looks like it’s lived somewhere between daily driver and project car for some period of time. It’s not a basketcase that’s been off the road for years, nor is it exactly in a high state of preservation. It looks like just a used car at this juncture, but I feel the tatty condition and automatic transmission may make the current price of $8,900 a tad ambitious at the moment. Find the Cobra here on eBay and listed by a dealer.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cobra-side-e1539888306446-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I do have a soft spot for the Cobra II, as it combines a few of my favorite things: loud factory graphics kits, air dams, and mesh wheels. The Cobra shows signs of wear and tear throughout, with surface rust blistering through in places. The wheels are mismatched and the Cobra front air dam appears to have had a run-in with a curb.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cobra-interior-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior is a brighter spot, as the bucket seats look quite nice and the carpets clean. The seller does say the Mustang runs and drives great, so perhaps that’s the justification for the price tag. This example also comes with a T-Top roof and a “replaced” automatic transmission per the listing.

There are other examples of body damage that may indicate poor storage rather than careless abuse. The seller notes that all gauges work in the cockpit, which is a definite plus, but I’m guessing there’s going to be more to sort out than just the cosmetics. Perhaps the option to submit a best offer could bring the Mustang home with a fair deal for all.

[h=1]Professor’s Pony: 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang1-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Jay B At the time of this writing bidding for this ’68 GT Fastback, available here on eBay, is at $25,400. The seller’s reserve price hasn’t been met but with only a few hours left of the auction, we’ll soon find out whether or not this purported to be all original Mustang will be on its way from El Dorado Hills, California to a new home.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller reveals the car was bought new in 1968 by a professor at the University of California, Berkeley who drove it for about 20 years before placing it in storage. He describes the car as an “original owner, original paint, original interior…survivor” which seems to be a little misleading unless the seller is the professor, oddly referring to himself in the third person. If that’s not the case it would make this a two-owner car, not an “original owner.” Or am I just splitting hairs?

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The listing is somewhat short on details, merely describing the car as “very nice” with “a few dents and dings here and there.” It appears those dents and dings resulted in a couple of minor body panel alignment issues on both the front and rear of the car. But what the ad lacks in writing the seller makes up in nice, close-up photographs of the car from just about every angle, including a couple of shots of the underbody and pictures of the floor pan from the inside.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Pictures of the interior substantiate the seller’s claim that this Mustang is in original condition on the inside as well. Both front seats are in tatters and will need to be restored, especially the driver seat. The rear seat looks to be in better shape, but only a view of the backrest is provided. The rest of the cabin (with the exception of the warped trim around the console) looks to be just a bottle of Mother’s away from being brought back to a presentable state.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang5-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang5-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller reports the original 302 V8 automatic has 92,487 miles on it. Despite a 30-year slumber, he has the car in running condition after completing a carburetor and radiator rebuild as well as a complete fluid change. Perhaps a new distributor cap and wires were installed too although that isn’t mentioned in the ad. A Marti Report is provided with the sale that shows the car was built in Ford’s San Jose, CA plant in December 1967. Purchased new in Oakland, this Mustang really is a true California car through and through. Aside from perhaps a few weekend excursions by the professor, or maybe a road trip to a higher education conference somewhere out of state, it’s possible this car has never left California. I’m curious to see if the seller’s reserve price is met but if not, please comment on what you think this pony is worth.

[h=1]1 of 48! 1968 Mercury Cougar 428 Cobra Jet 4-Speed[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1968-Mercury-Cougar-428CJ-1.jpg

By Todd Fitch If you awoke this morning hoping to find one of the 127 specimens of 428 Cobra-Jet equipped Cougar from 1968, tears of joy may obscure your view of this Mercury’s rust-eroded sheet-metal. Rust concerns may blur even more if you fancy one of the 48 original four-speed specimens. On the plus side, this particular 1968 Mercury Cougar 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air four-speed in Largo, Florida comes with some known history. Sadly the listing here on eBay features low-resolution versions of decent-looking original pictures. Over 20 bids have driven the market value beyond $11,500 in this No Reserve auction.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"375","width":"500","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1968-Mercury-Cougar-428CJ-2.jpg"}[/IMG2] Kudos to the seller for including some of the Cougar’s history. This dangerous North American predator roamed through several states including Ohio and Michigan before making its way to Florida. As much as Boss 302-powered Cougars embraced road racing, the 428 CJ cars, with the 4.30:1 rear axle ratio, fulfilled another purpose: go fast in a straight line.

Cardinal Red with a black interior makes as sporty a combination today as it did in 1968. Check out more pictures posted here on photobucket.com. Eagle-eyed readers may spot the non-original Hurst shifter, though the factory unit comes with the car. Other sellers could take a lesson from this listing’s details about original and non-original parts and other notes.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"375","width":"500","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1968-Mercury-Cougar-428CJ-4.jpg"}[/IMG2] Ford’s 428 Cobra Jet or “CJ” engine made 335 HP and 445 lb-ft of torque on paper, and quickly earned a reputation for being underrated. Dynamometer tests show these numbers to be more like 365 and 462, respectively. In place of the original 428 CJ engine sits this 1969 428 CJ version. The seller mentions a similar car selling for over $200,000. This is a No Reserve auction, folks; what’s your high bid?

[h=1]In Storage Since 1974: 1966 Ford Mustang[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-1-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-1-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

Adam-Clarke_avatar_1531128110-24x24.jpg
By Adam Clarke The person selling this 1966 Mustang is only the car’s second owner. The original owner ordered the car in April 1966 and drove it until he placed it into storage in 1974 with the intention of restoring it. He commenced the job, and then it stalled, and the car sat there until it was recently dragged out of hiding by the current owner. He has decided to sell it, so has listed it for sale here on eBay. Located in De Pere, Wisconsin, it comes with a clear title. The seller has set an opening bid of $7,200 for the Mustang.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/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\/10\/mustang-2-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] First the bad news: there is rust to be dealt with. Now the good news: the frame rails appear to be intact and in good condition. The floors were cut out as part of the restoration project that was commenced 40 years ago. The carpet has also been removed, so you can see that the rest of the floors seem to be quite solid but has a liberal coating of surface corrosion. The seller also includes a shot of the trunk, and the floor there also appears to be in decent condition.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-3-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-3-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller says that the inner rockers will either need to be repaired or replaced. The rest of the underside of the car has a layer of surface corrosion, but it does look to be fairly solid. As usual with a Mustang that is showing rust, nothing works as well as a personal inspection. The rear quarter on the driver’s side has also had a couple of holes cut around the wheel arch to address rust issues, so this will either need to be repaired or replaced. The seller confuses things a bit with his wording in the ad. I’m not sure whether he means that the doors open and close without binding, or whether he means that they do bind when opened and closed. If they are binding, then that’s not a good sign.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/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\/10\/mustang-4-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior of the Mustang is in surprisingly good condition, and apart from the lack of carpet, is unchanged from the day that the original owner collected it. The original wood-grain wheel is in place, and the original radio is not only present, but it works. I did notice that the door trims are slightly warped, but the seats look like they will respond well to cleaning. The soft-top raises and lowers properly, and while it generally looks to be quite good, the rear window is badly discolored and will need to be replaced. There are no photos of the dash, so we don’t know the actual condition there.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-5-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] There is a bit more good news with this Mustang. The car runs and drives, although the brakes currently don’t work, and will require a rebuild. The seller states that the 289ci 2V engine runs smoothly and sounds nice, and he believes that the exhaust on the car was fitted after the car went into storage and doesn’t seem to leak. The water pump will need to be replaced because it is noisy and does have a leak.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mustang-6-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mustang-6-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] There is a fair amount of work required to get this Mustang back on the road, and I would want to inspect the car to ensure that it is structurally sound. That question mark over whether the doors bind is a major concern, but if they do open and close freely, then that’s a good sign. So Barn Finders, would you take on this Mustang?

[h=1]Stored For 25 Years: 1970 Ford Mustang[/h]

By Adam Clarke When the owner posted the advertisement for this Mustang, he promised to provide further photos later. This hasn’t happened, so what we have to go on is one photo and his description, which seems to be quite comprehensive. You will find this Mustang listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, it is being offered for sale with a clear title. The seller has set a BIN price of $19,999.99, but the option is available to make an offer.
The body of this Mustang is said to be solid. The rear quarter panels have been replaced at some stage, and the engine bay has been stripped in preparation for painting. The majority of the floors have either been repaired or replaced, and the doors, fenders, hood, and rockers are all solid. The owner had intended to complete the Mustang as a Mach 1 clone, so it is fitted with a hood scoop and rear wing. It is also fitted with a chin spoiler, but this is damaged and will need to be replaced.
The Mustang was originally fitted with a 302ci V8, but this has gone in favor of a 351ci Windsor. It currently isn’t fitted to the car, but it has been rebuilt. The car also comes with a 4-speed transmission and a 9″ Posi-traction rear end.
The interior has some trim that will require restoration or reupholstering. There are some new interior trim components that will come with the car. This includes a new headliner and new carpet.
If this Mustang is as solid as the seller claims, then the remaining restoration work should not be complicated. The fact that the car comes with a freshly rebuilt engine is a bonus. I guess the big question is whether the completed work justifies the price on this car. What do our Barn Finders think?

By Adam Clarke More often than not, when a barn find car is dragged out into the light of day, time usually hasn’t been kind to the body or the paint, and rust repairs and repaints are common. The seller of this 1966 Galaxie doesn’t elaborate on how long this car was in storage, but the conditions must have been pretty good as it is still wearing its original paint. You will find this Galaxie listed for sale here on Craigslist. Located in Carroll County, Maryland, it comes with a clean title. The asking price for this mighty Ford is $12,500.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/galaxie-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/galaxie-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This Galaxie certainly glows, and the paint and trim look to be in first class condition. Studying the provided photos closely, it looks like there’s a slight mark on the lower quarter on the driver’s side. This may just be a stone chip or a tiny spot of rust. Otherwise, the paint and panels look great. The original vinyl top must not have met the standards that the seller demanded, so a new top has been professionally installed. The owner has also had all of the rubber weather seals replaced, so water leaks should not be an issue.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/galaxie-3-e1539887791121-436x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"436","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/galaxie-3-e1539887791121-436x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior is also a testament to the care and attention that has been lavished on this Ford. All of the interior trim and upholstery is original, and everything has that new-car look about it. The seats, headliner, and dash are close to perfect. The seller took time to remove the interior to replace the carpet and installed Dynamat while he was at it. Then each piece of trim was cleaned and polished before being returned to its rightful place. The only deviation from standard is that I believe that the car must have an aftermarket stereo installed. I can’t see the head unit (glove compartment?) but there are a set of speakers installed in the rear shelf.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/galaxie-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/galaxie-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Under the hood is the original 390ci V8, which is backed by the original automatic transmission and rear axle. The engine has never been rebuilt, but the seller does state that it starts, runs and drives well and that the engine doesn’t burn oil or blow smoke.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/galaxie-5-e1539887765586-630x390.jpg

The condition of the car is close to new, and the car presents really well. For a fan of the blue oval badge who is looking for a nice, original car to add to a collection, this one probably represents a good option to consider. If I bought it, I would probably be very tempted to remove the aftermarket speakers so that it was 100% original. Apart from that, I wouldn’t touch a thing.

[h=1]Measuring Interest: 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1[/h]

By Jeff Lavery Brace yourselves: we have a seller that’s looking for offers in order to “measure the interest” in this barn find 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1. These types of listings grind my gears, as there’s no shortage of pricing guides that could tell you exactly what this Mustang is worth. Regardless, it is a survivor-grade Mach 1 seen here on craigslist that should bring a good number if it’s as honest as presented.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mach-1-clean-e1540105000985.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"369","width":"590","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mach-1-clean-e1540105000985.jpg"}[/IMG2] The Mach 1 retains its desirable features, despite being parked in an outbuilding for 15 years: 351 Cleveland 4V, Shaker Hood, FMX Auto, PS, PB, A/C, Deluxe Interior. Front and rear spoiler, window slates, trunk wing spoiler. The Marti report is said to confirm all of this info, and the seller notes no major deviations from stock have been made.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mach-1-interior-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mach-1-interior-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller says the interior is in “excellent” condition, and I see no reason to dispute that claim. The automatic is a bummer, but there’s nothing else to fault in the interior from where I’m sitting. The faux woodgrain looks quite decent, along with the door panels, and the seller believes you could drive this Mach 1 as-is or perform a total restoration.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mach-1-rear-e1540105054966-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mach-1-rear-e1540105054966-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The rear window louvers and spoiler complete the look of this Mach 1, but the wheels leave me a bit uninspired. I love these cars with the dog-dish hubcaps and gray steelies underneath, but that’s my only real complaint – other than the “fishing for offers” approach the seller is taking. Are original Mach 1s still commanding a good price, or is this seller’s hope for a big offer just wishful thinking?
