By Nathan Avots-Smith Trolling through used-car classifieds long enough will make a cynic out of just about anyone, so I’m sure many of us will have a hard time taking this one at face value, but if it is what it says—boy, oh boy! Try this out and see if it adds up: 1990 Corvette ZR-1, with 43,600 miles and a clean title, being sold by a long-time owner with everything in working order and nice and clean, for just $14,000. Reader Rocco B. found us this gem here on craigslist in the greater Omaha, Nebraska area—click through if your faith in humanity is still intact!

And that’s in average condition; we’re just going off of pictures here, but this beauty, in its desirable red paint and rocking both glass and fiberglass removable roof panels, looks well above average to me. The seller, who has owned the car since 1994, uses phrases like “well cared for” and “no disappointments,” and mentions that the original build sheet, window sticker, and owner’s manual are all included.

[h=1]Drop Top Dropped: 1973 Ford Mustang[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1973_ford_mustang_a-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1973_ford_mustang_a-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]

By Bill Owens The year 1973 would be the last year for the increasingly larger Mustang body, as it would also be the last year for the Mustang convertible. . . for a while. Along with the Mercury Cougar, they would be the only Ford products offering the convertible that year. Word must have gotten out that the Mustang drop top was being dropped because production for the convertible increased significantly from 6,401 in 1972 to 11,853 in 1973. Here is a nice example for sale here on eBay in Dallas, Texas.

This one owner Mustang is in great shaped all around. The seller gets plenty of thumbs up when taking this Mustang for a ride, and I can see why. He/she says the car is a blast to drive and would be an excellent investment due to the fact that it is a survivor car in such great shape. The seller can even provide a video and dozens of other pictures in addition to the 24 pictures in the ad.

You’ve got to say that this is a picture angle of a car’s interior that you can’t get from a sedan, coupe or hardtop. The beautful interior is original, in excellent condition and matches the exterior paint. The white convertible top is also original to the car and is in excellent condition. All interior features are working properly.

The car has only been driven 29,000 miles in 45 years. It has an automatic transmission that shifts smoothly. A lot of original paper work goes with the car including original title, original temporary tag, warranty card and other paper work and receipts.
It would be hard to find any 1973 car in the condition this one is in. What better way to enjoy a car of this era than in this very nice 1973 Ford Mustang convertible?

[h=1]13,000 Original Miles: 1989 Ford Mustang GT Coupe[/h]

By Adam Clarke I confess that I really like the Fox-body Mustang, and this one appears to be a beauty. It has traveled a claimed 13,000 miles and is about as clean as you could find. You will find it listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Lakeland, Florida, it is being offered for sale with a clear title. At the time of writing, bidding had reached $15,100, but the reserve hasn’t been met.

Finding any sort of mark or blemish in the paint is quite hard, and even stone-chips are few and far between and believe me, I’ve checked this one pretty closely. The underside of the car is nearly as good as the top. There is some surface corrosion on a couple of components such as exhaust flanges, but otherwise, it all looks really clean.

As I said earlier, the seller is claiming that the car only has 13,000 miles on the clock. As usual, I always hope that there is documentary evidence to back this claim, but the condition of the interior trim makes the claim seem plausible. The car is fitted with a tilt wheel, power windows, power mirrors, power locks, power seat, cruise control and ice-cold air conditioning. The original AM/FM radio/cassette is also still present.

It features the 5.0l HO fuel-injected engine, backed by a 5-speed manual transmission and a limited slip rear end. That engine produced a rather healthy 225hp when new, and with such a low claimed mileage and careful maintenance, there is no reason to think that many of those ponies have escaped over the years. The under-hood presentation is good, but there are few signs of dirt under there that show that the car has actually been used.

Looking at what’s in the market, I found an almost identical car that has traveled 26,000 miles and is priced at $21,000, so it will be interesting to see where this one goes.

[h=1]Stored Since ’77: 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cougar-1-e1540100544188-630x390.jpg

By Adam Clarke The original owner of this once mighty Cougar has decided to part with it, so has listed it for sale here on eBay. It is located in Harwinton, Connecticut, and is being offered with a clear title. The seller has set the opening bid at $5,999, but at the time of writing, no bids had been made.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cougar-2-e1540100575888-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] When the Cougar was new, it must have been an imposing car. In 1977 it was placed into storage in a dry barn and has remained there until recently. The first thing that I noticed was the sheer quantity of rust that is visible on a car that has been stored in a dry barn. I then noticed that the spare tire is a snow tire, and it started to make some sense. During its nine years of active duty, this Cougar has obviously seen some less than ideal driving conditions. The quarter panels and rear wheel wells on both sides are quite rusty, and the rust in the wells looks to have extended into the trunk floor to some extent. The bottoms of both doors are rusty, as is the bottom of the fender on the driver’s side. Trim covers the rockers, but I would be willing to bet that they are pretty bad as well. There is also rust in the floors to add to the equation. We don’t get any shots of the underside of the car, but what we can actually see probably doesn’t bode well for that area either.

The dash trim, pad and door trims look to be quite good. The leather upholstery on the seats is cracked and split, and would require replacement.

The engine is the 390ci GT engine, which is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission and power disc brakes. The seller states that the car ran well when it was parked, but 1977 was an awfully long time ago. The sheer quantity of corrosion that is visible on various engine components doesn’t look good, and the seller doesn’t indicate whether the engine actually turns freely.

In 1977 it was placed into storage in a dry barn and has remained there until recently. The first thing that I noticed was the sheer quantity of rust that is visible on a car that has been stored in a dry barn. I then noticed that the spare tire is a snow tire, and it started to make some sense. During its nine years of active duty, this Cougar has obviously seen some less than ideal driving conditions. The quarter panels and rear wheel wells on both sides are quite rusty, and the rust in the wells looks to have extended into the trunk floor to some extent. The bottoms of both doors are rusty, as is the bottom of the fender on the driver’s side. Trim covers the rockers, but I would be willing to bet that they are pretty bad as well. There is also rust in the floors to add to the equation. We don’t get any shots of the underside of the car, but what we can actually see probably doesn’t bode well for that area either.

The dash trim, pad and door trims look to be quite good. The leather upholstery on the seats is cracked and split, and would require replacement.

[h=1]Iowa Cyclone: 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT[/h]

By Chris Clark The 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT was meant for those who wanted to put style above speed. That didn’t mean, though, that a little speed was out of the question. Said to be a 351 Cleveland car, this Cyclone GT found here on Craigslist in Des Moines, Iowa, is sure to attract those who are looking for a little bit of style and speed.

The 429 was obviously for the driver who wanted to go lurking the streets looking for a street light showdown. For those looking for the lesser engine option, there were a little over ten thousand Cyclones produced for their use. The Cyclone listed here is said to be one of the 351 cars. Unfortunately, there isn’t much detail given on whether or not this is a running car.

The interior could use some work to make it new again but doesn’t look to be in terrible shape. The mileage isn’t given on this GT but a quick look at the foot pedals may indicate that they weren’t put to a lot of use. These 351 cars could be had with an automatic or a three-speed manual, with this one being the automatic version.

The asking price doesn’t seem to be too steep for an old Mercury in this kind of shape, especially one with muscle car lines. So, is this Iowa Cyclone worth the $3,600 asking price?

[h=1]Stored For 12 Years: 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible[/h]

By Adam Clarke This 1965 Mustang Convertible is a barn find that the owner located stored in a barn in Kansas. It had been sitting for about 12 years when he located it, but he dragged it out and did the necessary work to get it back up and running. He has now decided to part with it, so has listed it for sale here on eBay. Located in Piedmont, Oklahoma, it is being offered for sale with a clear title. At the time of writing, bidding had reached $8,100, 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\/10\/mustang-2-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] From the outside, this Mustang doesn’t look too bad. The paint is faded and dull, but that’s hardly surprising given the amount of time that it has been sitting, plus we don’t really know how it was treated before it went into the barn. The seller is pretty forward in saying that the car (in his words) “has rust in all the usual places.” There is definitely rust in the trunk floor, the trunk riser, and in the wheelhouses. There also appears to be rust in the inner rockers, although there are no photos to indicate whether there is any structural rust to deal with. The seller seems to be confident that the car could be driven as it is, but I’d want to look underneath to be sure. The middle of an accident is not the best time to discover a structural issue. The power top operates, and the soft-top itself looks like it may respond well to a clean.

This is the optional Pony Interior, and all of the distinctive features appear to be there. Some of these, such as the door trims and the distinctive wood grain steering wheel are present but will require reconditioning or replacement. The carpet is also quite faded, but the remainder of the interior is an area that once again should respond well to cleaning.

The carburetor has been rebuilt, and the seller has also replaced the gas tank and sender unit. He says that the car runs and drives and that it sounds really nice. He also states that he has replaced one wheel cylinder and bled the brakes. He says that they work, but he doesn’t sound that full of confidence, so I’d be inclined to give them a pretty thorough check before I hit the road.

This one is another such vehicle, but it is a bit unclear just how extensive it actually is. On the surface, it certainly seems to be promising, but nothing beats a good personal inspection to make sure that all is okay. If there are no structural issues with this one, then it could be quite a nice car to own and drive.

[h=1]Watkins Glen Edition: 1988 Ford Mustang GT[/h]

By Matt Hurst There’s an old adage amongst collectors of any stripe that you buy the “thing” and not the story. This 1988 Ford Mustang GT certainly has an interesting, if murky, backstory and is listed as an auction here on eBay. The seller is located in Buffalo, NY and indicates that this Mustang is a rare “Watkins Glen Special Edition.” Unfortunately, there’s not much out there on the internet about such a special edition, but the seller does present a compelling case that this Mustang is indeed the real deal.

The story behind this Mustang is actually pretty fascinating; according to the seller, this car was one of a batch of about 20 other Mustangs and some Thunderbird Turbo Coupes that were shipped directly to Clute Motor in Elmyra, NY for some modifications in advance of the “Bud at the Glen” NASCAR race in 1988. All of these special edition cars, Mustangs, and T-Birds alike, were optioned with the same Oxford White paint scheme and Scarlet Red interior and were intended to be run for a few test laps on the track prior to the race, then delivered to dealers for sale. So what, exactly, did Clute do to these Fords prior to the event, aside from applying a couple decals to the fenders? Unfortunately, that’s where things get a bit hazy; the only information I can seem to find on this edition stems from a forum post on the North American Turbo Coupe Assn website, which references a post on another mailing list that is alleged to have come from a former service manager at Clute. An interesting read for sure, but not exactly something my 10th-grade history teacher would have accepted as an example of a “primary source.” That being said, there are a few things which indicate there’s at least some veracity to the story. First, the original window sticker is intact and shows the car was sold to a dealer called Least Ford in Geneseo, NY but was shipped directly to Clute Motor Co in Elmira. Second, several body components of the car are adorned with stickers bearing Ford logos and the VIN, presumably so they couldn’t be swapped out.

If you just looked at the odometer reading of 5,700 and the exterior of the car you probably wouldn’t suspect that this Mustang actually has additional 100k miles on it! The photos show the original paint to be in excellent condition but the seller is completely upfront about the odometer having rolled over once and lists the actual mileage at 106k. They also note that there are some minor imperfections on the paint, but the clear coat is in perfect condition and zero rust is evident on the body or in the photos of the undercarriage. The interior is in similarly well-preserved condition, although the seller does note a few minor issues such as the cargo cover not working and the A/C being in need of a recharge.

The seller states that they’re parting with the car because due to its perceived rarity they don’t feel comfortable driving it (and they already own one garage queen Mustang). My personal feeling on the matter is, hey it’s already got over 100k miles on it and some minor road wear. The previous owners certainly didn’t shy away from using it, so unless it fetches some astronomical figure why not drive it and enjoy it? Regardless of its provenance, this Mustang is incredibly well optioned and is guaranteed to be a fabulous driver. Any Mustang experts want to chime in with some more info on this Special Edition? Please share it in the comments!

The story behind this Mustang is actually pretty fascinating; according to the seller, this car was one of a batch of about 20 other Mustangs and some Thunderbird Turbo Coupes that were shipped directly to Clute Motor in Elmyra, NY for some modifications in advance of the “Bud at the Glen” NASCAR race in 1988. All of these special edition cars, Mustangs, and T-Birds alike, were optioned with the same Oxford White paint scheme and Scarlet Red interior and were intended to be run for a few test laps on the track prior to the race, then delivered to dealers for sale. So what, exactly, did Clute do to these Fords prior to the event, aside from applying a couple decals to the fenders? Unfortunately, that’s where things get a bit hazy; the only information I can seem to find on this edition stems from a forum post on the North American Turbo Coupe Assn website, which references a post on another mailing list that is alleged to have come from a former service manager at Clute. An interesting read for sure, but not exactly something my 10th-grade history teacher would have accepted as an example of a “primary source.” That being said, there are a few things which indicate there’s at least some veracity to the story. First, the original window sticker is intact and shows the car was sold to a dealer called Least Ford in Geneseo, NY but was shipped directly to Clute Motor Co in Elmira. Second, several body components of the car are adorned with stickers bearing Ford logos and the VIN, presumably so they couldn’t be swapped out.

If you just looked at the odometer reading of 5,700 and the exterior of the car you probably wouldn’t suspect that this Mustang actually has additional 100k miles on it! The photos show the original paint to be in excellent condition but the seller is completely upfront about the odometer having rolled over once and lists the actual mileage at 106k. They also note that there are some minor imperfections on the paint, but the clear coat is in perfect condition and zero rust is evident on the body or in the photos of the undercarriage.

[h=1]Salvage Shelby: 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500[/h]

By Montana Danford It’s always a shame when a nice car meets an unfortunate end. When the car has lived a short life, it seems that much more of a disappointment. This 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 was impacted on the front end. The damage was enough that the car is being sold on a salvage title and it can be found here on eBay with an asking price of $16,749.99. Located in Lyons, Georgia, the car only has 32,561 miles on the odometer. It appears that this car can have another lease on life. Whether that’s fixing what’s here or harvesting the drivetrain for another project, it seems like there is a ton of potential with this one.

You are looking at a 550hp supercharged DOHC 5.4L engine with 6-speed manual transmission. The car also features the following performance upgrades: JLT cold air intake, Ford Racing Cobra jet billet throttle body, upper auxiliary blower belt idler kit, Kooks long tube headers, and underdrive crank pulley.

The impact was hard enough to deploy the driver’s airbag. The ad doesn’t say if any other airbags were popped during the impact. If the new owner is going to use the drivetrain for another project, there are plenty of good interior parts to use as well. For example, the bucket seats look like they are in great shape and would be a good addition to any project.

The classic verticle taillights take strong styling cues from their 1960’s and ’70’s cousins. So what do you think will be the fate of this car? Will it be fixed and driven again looking similar to what it did new? Will the drivetrain and parts be used to power another project? What would you do if you had the choice?

[h=1]Dad’s Old Ford! One-Family 1955 F100 Pickup[/h]

By Todd Fitch Meet “Old Blue!” This 1955 Ford F100 in McMinnville, Oregon served one family since new. The patriarch, a local carpenter, purchased the blue work truck new and used it until the late 1960s. Now it’s offered for sale for the first time as a used vehicle here on Hemmings.com where $12,500 (or best offer) can make it part of your family.

A new oak bed and some ’70s-appropriate shag carpeting spruced up the old rig, along with other replacement parts.

In 1982 Old Blue entered retirement again, sleeping another 36 years until recently. No attempt to start it has been made, and the seller includes a host of under-body pictures showing a well-preserved original truck.

While this F100 may not be an exact time-capsule, finding one this old with a documented history is a rare treat. Hopefully its next owners will appreciate its never-restored condition, because you’ll see many that have been either significantly messed-with or restored to perfection before another like this pops up. Is that worth $12,500 to you?

[h=1]Hot Rod History! 1933 Ford Standard Coupe[/h]

By Todd Fitch There might be more radical vintage hot rods, but this 1933 Ford Standard Five-Window Coupe in Cassadaga, New York comes with tractable history from time spent in Southern California serving a U.S. Marine during the early ’50s. Best of all, the car has barely changed since then! Collectors with an interest in a running, driving Ford drenched in period touches should look here on eBay where $45,000 can make it yours. Thanks to Patrick S. for suggesting we feature this classic slice of Eisenhower-era Americana.

[h=1]Runs And Drives: 1976 Ford Mustang II[/h]

By Brentton Fuller Are you looking for a pet project? Then look no further than this little pony, a 1976 Ford Mustang II. With a buy it now price of only $7,000, or the ability to make an offer, you can take this horse home from Grand Rapids, Michigan. The mileage listed is a healthy 44,900 miles. You might want to work fast before it begins to snow and the white paint camouflages it. Great pictures and more are listed on eBay.

Simply put, it has a 2.5 liter four cylinder engine, connected to a manual transmission. Beyond the fact that the listing states it runs and drives, not much else is mechanically known. For what it is worth, there is a note that the tires are new. One can probably assume that this little steed can be driven home to the buyers stable upon purchase.

There is nothing listed regarding the interior. All observations, assumptions, and opinions must come from the pictures. From those pictures though, the interior looks absolutely amazing. It had to have been restored. Mustang aficionados can decipher the good, the bad, and the quirky and leave plenty of comments below about their findings. Even if you aren’t a Mustang expert, leave a comment to join in.

Hopefully there is no deceit in the photos. A quick observation shows that all the greenery around the car is still very vibrant and…green. Considering it is towards the end of October in Michigan, the photos might not be recent. If someone in your family has always wanted a pony for Christmas, this might just be the year that it happens.

[h=1]38K Miles: 1972 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible[/h]

By Bill Owens Most people will agree that Cougars from 1967 to 1970 were very appealing cars. Some may believe that the 1971 to 1973, not so much. But I’m a fan of this generation as well. I can’t tell you how excited I was the day my dad and I went into a Mercury dealer in fall 1971 and he tried to trade his 1971 LTD for a 1972 Mercury Cougar XR-7. They wanted a difference of $1,500 but that was too much, so we went back home with the LTD which I drove until 1977. Here is the even more exciting 1972 Mercury Cougar XR-7 convertible for sale here on eBay in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Those are factory styled steel wheels that were an option included with this particular car. The original purchaser of this car must have been a Cougar loyalist because they traded in a blue 1967 Mercury Cougar hardtop for which they were allowed $1,593.91. It appears that power brakes may not have originally been included with this car because the dealer invoice says “install power brakes”.

The original factory white leather seats look fantastic set off with the black instrument panel and carpeting and are in excellent condition. It does not appear to have air conditioning, but hey, this is a convertible. The XR-7 model included factory tach and gauges. It also sports a white convertible top in excellent condition.

A Flowmaster dual exhaust was added for better sound. The car starts, runs, and drives absolutely fantastic. Paperwork included with this car are dealer order sheet, warranty card, manuals and more.
This car could be calling your name. Here’s a chance for a nice pony car convertible that needs nothing.

[h=1]Pre-GT? 1965 Ford A-Code Mustang[/h]

By Jamie Palmer The seller of this 1965 Mustang tells an interesting story about the car’s origins which might make it rather special. It’s listed for sale here on craigslist and is located in Waynesboro, Mississippi. The seller is looking to get $5,000 for the car; read on and see if you think it’s worth it.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/y2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I’m assuming that the top picture is the car in its current state and the ones with the trailer are from when it was acquired by the seller. There is no explanation what happened to the front suspension and wheels during that time but presumably they are included. As you can see there is some typical Mustang rust present and the car has obviously been stored for a while.

The seller describes the car as “…a factory A-code Mustang that was special ordered by a Ford Motor Company executive back in late 1964.” They also tell us that it was ordered as a “prototype, a preliminary and especially developed pre-GT Mustang.” I wasn’t able to find anything on the internet about a pre-GT existing, but I did find this article on what makes a GT a GT and this article on how to spot a fake one.

[h=1]Useful Classic! 1967(?) Ford Econoline Pickup[/h]

By Jamie Palmer Original by no means, this Ford Econoline pickup has been refurbished as a useful classic. It’s listed for sale here on eBay and is located in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The buy it now price is $7,750, and the Texaco-themed accessories apparently come with the truck if you want them.

The bed floor has been augmented or replaced with what appears to be diamond plate aluminum. I think I’d either go all the way with the Texaco theme and sign-write the truck or take it off. What about you?

According to several online sites, this plate belongs to a 1964 Econoline, not a 1967. It also originally had the 170 cubic inch inline six and a three-speed manual as opposed to the 289 v8 and automatic it now has. Ultimately, I suppose it doesn’t matter much as I can’t see anyone buying this truck to restore it to original in any case. However, the question is whether or not the truck is worth the money; what do you think?
