My Family had a 1971 Ford LTD Country Squire Station Wagon with Fake stick on Wood Paneling and a 400 2 Barell when I was growing up. Anyone else here had a Full Size Station Wagon Ford, GM or Chrysler Product back in the 70s ?

Sometimes you will look at a particular car and wonder what the story is behind it, and how it has eventually gotten to the stage that it has. This Ford Country Sedan is just such a car. Built in 1969, it was driven until 1974 when it was parked and left. I wonder why someone would park a car that was only 5-years-old, and basically never touch it again. Well, it’s now out of hiding, and looking for a new home. It is sitting in South Beloit, Illinois, and is listed for sale here on eBay.

There is a small amount of rust in the floor under the jump seat, but the rest of the floors are solid. The worst of the rust on the outside is in the bottom of the back door on the driver’s side, around the rear wheel opening on the same side, and the usual rust that seems to appear around the filler flap. There are also a couple of other minor areas of rust, and a few minor dings around the place. Otherwise, it all looks pretty solid and clean.

The owner has poured fuel down the carburetor, and the car did run, which is an encouraging sign. At some stage in the past, someone has had the intention of rebuilding the front end, and there is a reasonable cache of new parts for this included with the car. It also looks like the car is fitted with power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ford-4-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The interior of the Ford is a bit of a surprise packet. The owner provides several photos of various areas, and it really looks like the interior would come up very nicely with a bit of old-fashioned elbow grease. The carpet and upholstery all look quite good. This is interesting because while the car was apparently only in active use for 5 years, in that time it clocked up 98,000 miles. I really expected a bit more wear-and-tear than is actually present with that sort of mileage.

It looks pretty solid, and it certainly has some potential. While bidding on the car has been quite lively, the price hasn’t soared to great heights. At the time of writing, bidding was sitting at $510. That seems like a lot of car for the money.

[h=1]Canadian Badges: 1950 Ford F-68[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Chris-Clark_avatar_1533871027-24x24.jpg

Some of you old Ford pickup guys may have looked at that title and thought, “What’s an F-68?” You wouldn’t be alone. This is really just an F-3 from north of the border. Found here on eBay, this one was sold new in Saskatchewan, Canada and is now being sold out of Sweet Grass, Montana.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/F-68-Interior-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller provides decent pictures and details of the condition of this old Ford. Thankfully, the rust is detailed and doesn’t seem to be overlooked. While repairing the rust could be put off for a while, the interior would need to be addressed right off the bat. It sounds like the gauges will even need some work to be functional.

While the truck is not running, it is said to be mechanically complete, which is at least encouraging news. It appears as though the hose clamps were robbed off of the radiator side at some point, leaving coolant passages possibly open to the elements. Even though the engine turns over, a potential restorer would probably have to walk into this project expecting an engine rebuild. Thankfully, Flathead parts are readily available.

Either would be reasonable options for this Canadian pickup. This one looks solid enough to get it going mechanically and use it for an around-town truck, but the F-68 badges may make it unique enough to fully restore. With no reserve and a current bid just under a couple grand, what might this project end up going for?

I had one of these, an 83, 305 4 Barell, Burgundy with Vinyl Roof and Rallye Wheels. Bought it as a Demo with 6,000 kilometers. Was a Good Car kept it for 5 years.

[h=1]Amazingly Low 12K Miles: 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bill-Owens_avatar_1535405416-24x24.jpg

By 1988, personal luxury cars had pretty much had a good run and fewer people were buying them. Consider that ten years before in 1978, Monte Carlo sold 358,191 cars, while by 1988 in an abbreviated year they had sold only 30,174. They sold so few that unlike the other General Motors brands, Chevrolet decided not to build the Monte Carlo in the new front wheel drive model (Chevrolet did build a Lumina 2 door from 1990 to 1994 and brought back a front wheel drive Monte Carlo in 1995). Here is a 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS (Luxury Sport) 2 door coupe for sale here on Craigslist in Phoenix, Arizona. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Pat L. for bringing this car to our attention.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1988_chevrolet_monte_carlo_d-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The black paint looks amazing, as well as the landau vinyl roof. The car has new tires with only 1,000 miles of use with wire wheel covers in great condition. Underneath is clean and dry with no leaks. There is no rust on this car anywhere.

Inside is not disappointing either. The LS has the optional CL custom interior which included pillow type velour seating, a 45/55 split front seat, custom trim door panels, and additional sound insulation. This car also includes a power driver’s seat, power windows, power door locks, and working air conditioning. The car also includes a gauge package with tachometer, voltmeter, temperature gauge, and oil pressure gauge. The AM/FM stereo with CD player looks like a factory radio, but most likely taken from a nineties GM vehicle since they were not available in 1988 on Monte Carlo. Cassette players were the best they could do in 1988.

It was mated with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car is amazing and has less than 12,000 miles. The seller is asking $15,900. While the price seems a little high, that may be the price to pay for such a car in great condition.

[h=1]One Family Owned: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Rally Sport[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Jay-B_avatar_1534270487-24x24.jpg

There’s never a shortage of first-generation Camaros featured here on Barnfinds. Whether it’s a rust bucket or a cream puff, we don’t discriminate. This ’67 RS, available here on eBay with a BIN of $22,500, is reported to have been owned by one family before it was purchased from the family’s estate by the current seller. Included in the description of the car are some typical buzzwords, such as “true time capsule,” “unrestored,” and “all original.” Claims like that call for scrutiny and a closer look at this beauty is certainly needed. Nonetheless, it appears to be a very nice RS that’s priced to sell. Located in Eads, Tennessee, bidding has already surpassed $17,000 with 6 days left in the auction and the reserve price not met.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/camaro3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/camaro3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Much nicer (less dark) pictures than the one above are included in the eBay listing, however, I purposefully chose to post this photo because of one glaring detail: the wheel covers and tires. Did you happen to notice they’re different from the ones in the featured photo? This is the only picture in the ad that shows the car wearing N96 mag wheel covers with whitewalls, the rest show it with P01 hubcaps and blackwalls. The seller claims he recently replaced the tires and that the car will be sold with its original wheels/wheel covers. I assume this photo shows the older set of tires, but I’m confused as to which wheel covers are original to the car? Will both sets be included with the sale? It’s amazing to me how different the car looks in this photo. I definitely prefer the P01 wheel covers with the Blackwall tires, it gives the car a beefier look and the appearance of a wider, more squatted stance. Which do you prefer?

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/camaro4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/camaro4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The car is reported to have been repainted “many years ago back to its original Bolero red.” It shows nicely in the photos, although the seller warns there are some nicks and scratches and “if you are looking for a perfect/$60k trailer queen with an award-winning paint job this is not your car.” The Camaro is reported to have been purchased new in March 1967 in Tampa, Florida but spent the majority of its life in the Knoxville area. It’s a true southern car that’s “never [been taken] up and down salty roads or subjected to salty climates.” Its frame rails, body, floor pans, rockers, and all “critical areas” are nice and solid, although there is a small amount of rust on the lower portion of the front fenders and some “slight bubbling” under the vinyl top. The hideaway headlights are reported to be in working order but from the photo above, there seems to be an alignment problem on the right side. Photos show a series of holes drilled in the trunk lid, however, the seller has since finished the original owner’s job of adding a rear spoiler.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/camaro5-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/camaro5-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller claims the red-on-red combination is rare and that the interior is deluxe and completely original. No rips or tears are visible in the seat coverings and the carpet still looks plush. The black vinyl covering the console is faded, but no worse than what is typically found in a car less than half its age. The dash seems to be the area that’s suffered the worst, showing significant discoloration in a few spots. Pictures don’t show any cracks in the vinyl covering, however, and that’s good news. All of the glass is said to be original although the seller reports a scratch in each door window and a wiper mark on the windshield. The factory-installed AC is “all hooked up but does not blow cold” according to the seller.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/camaro6-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/camaro6-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The Camaro has been in storage since the 1980s and the 327 V8 is claimed to be original to the car. Considering the car hasn’t been driven in over 30 years, mileage is a bit high at 134,707, although it looks like those were easy miles. The motor is reported to be in running condition and it’s paired with a 2-speed automatic Powerglide transmission. Because it’s been sitting in storage for such a long period of time, the seller recommends the engine be given “a good once over before driving for any long distance.” All of the car’s original documentation will be provided with the sale right down to the protect-o-plate. Assembled in Chevy’s Norwood, Ohio plant, it’s documented to be an early build first-gen Camaro. It will be interesting to see if someone grabs this gem at the BIN price before the auction ends. Do you think it’s worth the price?

[h=1]Like New: 1984 Ford Bronco XLT[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Adam-Clarke_avatar_1531128110-24x24.jpg

This 1984 Ford Bronco XLT is described by its owner as a 3rd generation survivor. It wears its original paint, original drive-train, and original interior. It is a striking looking vehicle, but there is a bit of a sting in the tail, which we’ll get to later. If this is a vehicle that you would aspire to own, it is located in Birmingham, Alabama, and is listed for sale here on eBay.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/bronco-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bronco-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] There’s not a lot to criticize in the presentation of the Bronco. The original Walnut Metallic and Light Desert Tan paint look virtually faultless, and there are no signs of rust. About the only thing that rates criticism is the paint on the spare wheel carrier. There is surface corrosion showing through on that, but that would be a pretty easy thing to fix. Otherwise, it really does look like it has just rolled off the showroom floor.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/bronco-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bronco-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] To get the Bronco on the move you get a 5.8L HO engine, a C6 transmission, and a 9″ rear end. The owner says that the vehicle is an everyday driver that is tight and that the car has an upgraded AC compressor, along with new brakes and master cylinder. As with the exterior of the Bronco, the engine bay presents very nicely.

Once again, it’s very hard to fault it. Everything looks very good, with no rips, tears, stains, or cracks to report. The Bronco also benefits from power windows and locks, and a very neatly camouflaged aftermarket stereo with hidden speakers and Bluetooth capability.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/bronco-5-630x390.jpg

As a result, you would expect it to command a premium price. At the time of writing, bidding has reached $4,450, but the reserve has not been met. I said that there was a sting in the tail, and this is it. The owner has also listed a BIN price for the Bronco, and this is set at $28,500, which is quite a sting. Thoughts anyone?

Nice! Would love to come across something like this.
It's the year I graduated high school.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Yea, I Love that Generation Bronco and even the same Generation Full Size 2 door Blazer/ Jimmy.

The 2 Tone on this one is nice.

Anything but White, Since the OJ Simpson Fiasco, White Bronco's are now associated with Wife Beating Murderers.

 

[Fun GT]

Really brings back memories. We never had a Bronco like this one but my dad had a same year F-150 with a matching cap in the same color combo so yep memories memories... The one previous to this one was a '78 with a brown and white combo which was also quite nice.

 

[Ohtobbad]

I had a bronco 2 I really liked, different beast than these.

Back in the sixties and seventies, pickups with sleeping campers were frequently seen, where today most campers or trailers are just pulled behind vehicles. In 1971, and other years as well, Ford built a pickup truck specifically for the purpose of carrying a camper. Here is a 1971 Ford F250 Camper Special pickup with rear wheel drive for sale here on Classics on Autotrader in Hernando, Florida.

Not mentioned as a part of the package in the 1971 Ford pickup brochure is this extended rear bumper which I’m sure was quite helpful in assisting campers easier access to the camper. It’s possible it was either a dealer installed or factory option with the package. This truck is in original condition.

Here is one of those interiors that it hardly looks like anyone ever sat in it. It’s not likely this truck has air conditioning though. My father bought a new regular 1971 Ford F100 Sport Custom pickup with factory installed air conditioning, and the interior was this same pattern and color. Even though the air conditioning was factory installed, it fitted underneath the radio and glove box area rather than having vents in the dash. The top of the dash, seats and door panels of this truck are in great condition. This truck has automatic transmission. I remember when driving my dad’s that sometimes I would have to hold the gear selector in a precise position of Park before it would start.

Here’s something that will catch your eye about this pickup. It has only 13,358 miles (listed as 13,858 in the ad). There are no engine pictures, but it has a powerful 390 cubic inch V-8 that originally produced 255 horsepower. The seller is asking what seems like a reasonable price of $7,000 considering the condition of this truck. More than likely this truck will never be used to carry a camper again. They are still being made even though they are a rare sight on the road. But I’m sure the new owner will show this truck light duty, showing the truck, or just enjoying this pickup as a classic. Could that be you?

[h=1]Neat and Original: 1969 Ford Torino GT[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Adam-Clarke_avatar_1531128110-24x24.jpg

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/torino-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
The owner of this Torino GT describes it as being straight and rust-free, and judging by the supplied photos, it seems to be an apt description. It is an attractive looking vehicle, and every aspect of it seems to present well. I would like to thank Barn Finder Fordguy1972 for referring the Torino to us. If you would like to become the new owner of the Torino, you will find it located near Putnam, Connecticut, and listed for sale here on Craigslist.

The car is not wearing its original paint, having undergone a repaint at some point in the past. The rest of the exterior, including the trim, chrome, and glass all look to be in really nice order, as do the original wheels with their distinctive GT center caps.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/torino-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Getting the GT up and moving is a 351ci Windsor V8 engine, which is hooked to a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission. The owner says that the car runs and drives as it should. The engine bay, once again, is an area of the car that presents very nicely, without looking like someone has gone over the top with the cleaners or rattle cans. The Torino is also equipped with power steering and power brakes.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/torino-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The all-black interior of the Torino also looks really good, with no real issues to report. Frustratingly, we don’t get any photos of the dash, so I can’t tell you what sort of condition the pad is in, or whether the dash itself has been modified to fit aftermarket components.

The owner has set a price of $15,500 for the car, and while it is not the cheapest ’69 GT on the market at present, it is also a long way from being the most expensive. With cars in similar condition to this one selling for 20% more than the current asking price of our feature car, this one seems to represent a pretty good buy.

Over the holidays, my brother in law to be and I were discussing this very vehicle. Little did I know one would pop up here to write about for Barn Finds. For sale is a 2014 Cadillac CTS-V wagon. It is currently sitting at a price of $40,011 with 23 bids and the reserve not yet met. Mileage clocks in at 55,750, the VIN is listed, and the title is clear. It is located in Pelham, Alabama. You can view more on eBay.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/s-l1600-2-14-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/s-l1600-2-14-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] What makes this V notable is the fact it is a 6-speed manual. There were not many V wagons produced, and fewer still with a manual. Add that to the already large list of goodies, such as a 556 horsepower V8 and you have a fun family hauler. The seller states they vacuumed fries out of the back seats from the previous owner’s children spilling them. This puts a whole new meaning to fast food and family fun.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/s-l1600-1-14-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/s-l1600-1-14-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
Other noteworthy things are the black diamond tri-coat paint, yellow brake calipers, Recaro racing seats, roof rack, Alcantara steering wheel, and most importantly, no sunroof. Many V cars have them, but this wagon does not, putting it into an even rarer league of its own. The owner says they have a few grills to go with the car since the emblem is carbon fiber on the one shown. Everything else is stock.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/s-l1600-3-10-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/s-l1600-3-10-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] They do have the original window sticker that went with the car and is honest enough to mention there are a few small dings here and there. They did not track the car and say there are zero issues with it. Doug DeMuro owned one of these, and it is only a matter of time before these become appreciating vehicles, standing the test of time to become an instant classic and something that someday, would be an epic barn find.

[h=1]Well Optioned: 1968 Chevrolet Caprice Estate[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bill-Owens_avatar_1535405416-24x24.jpg

Back in the sixties and seventies, we thought of station wagons as vehicles to move a lot of people and a lot of cargo around. But who says they can’t be interesting? Station wagons have certainly enjoyed a lot of interest as classic cars in the last few years. Because of their utility nature, it’s sometimes harder to find a nice station wagon than its 2 door or 4 door counterpart. But here is a nice one, a 1968 Chevrolet Estate Wagon for sale here on eBay in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1968_chevrolet_caprice_estate_b-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1968_chevrolet_caprice_estate_b-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The station wagon is finished in Ash Gold, and being a Caprice Estate, has the standard woodgrain finish on the sides and tailgate. The woodgrain appears to be lighter on the tailgate, so it’s possible it has been replaced at some point. However, the woodgrain on the sides is original and fading in some areas. Some of the exterior options this car has are rally wheels, front bumper guards, rooftop luggage rack, air deflector, and power front disc brakes. One thing it is missing which would be nice to have are the concealed headlights that were available on all 1968 Caprice models.

This interior is in good condition, but not perfect. It does have a couple of rips in the driver’s area of the seat. Options found inside include Comfortron temperature control which blows cold. The car also has power windows, power tailgate window, power seat, headrests, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and stereo eight-track player, which unfortunately is not working. The station wagon has an aftermarket AM/FM radio installed in the dash.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1968_chevrolet_caprice_estate_d-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The engine is the 396 cubic inch V-8 that originally produced 325 horsepower. It is mated with Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission. The car has been driven 110,000 miles in the last 51 years. As I write this article, the car has a bid of $9,000 and the reserve has not been met. Have you been looking for a well-optioned station wagon? While not perfect this one could fill the new year wishes of many readers I’m sure.

[h=1]Original Paint: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Adam-Clarke_avatar_1531128110-24x24.jpg

This 1969 Camaro wears its original paint, but it has undergone a few mechanical upgrades. The majority of these changes could be reversed without any real drama, or you could leave the car as it is and just enjoy it. Located in Lumberton, North Carolina, you will find the Camaro listed for sale here on eBay.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/camaro-2-4-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/camaro-2-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The owner claims that the Camaro still wears its original paint, which is a nice color called Fathom Green. The white vinyl top looks like it is in pretty good condition. There is some minor rust present in the bottoms of the quarter panels, but this should be able to be fixed with some simple patch panels which the owner will supply with the car. There are also a couple of faded spots in the paint, and a couple of areas that are in primer, so these will need to be investigated, and any repair work completed.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/camaro-3-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Apart from a seam separation on the driver’s seat, what we can see of the rest of the interior looks quite good, and it may well respond to a really thorough clean. The owner has new houndstooth covers for the seats, but personally, I would probably be a bit hesitant to use them at this stage. The owner does indicate that the seat upholstery is leather, so I would be inclined to see if a competent upholsterer could fix that seam, and then clean and condition the seats. It would be nice to retain the leather if possible. The car is also fitted with an aftermarket CD player, but we don’t get a shot of that or any indication of where speakers have been fitted to the car.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/camaro-4-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] There are no engine photos, but we do get some information about the mechanical aspects of the car. The engine is a 350ci V8, but it isn’t the original engine. The car is also fitted with an automatic transmission and working air conditioning. If you are not fixed on the concept of returning the car to its original state, then the fact that it has been fitted with 4-wheel power disc brakes is probably quite appealing and is also a pretty sensible modification. The car has also been fitted with rally wheels and white letter tires, which look quite good on the car.

It is a solid car that has undergone some mechanical mods and upgrades and would make a great project car for someone. It appears to be a solid car with only minor, easily repaired rust. The owner has set the BIN price at $20,500. If you bought this one, would you return it to standard, or make some further changes to it?

[h=1]Estate Vehicle: 1971 Ford LTD Convertible[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bill-Owens_avatar_1535405416-24x24.jpg

I’m a little partial to this car. My first car was a 1971 Ford LTD, although it was a 2 door hardtop. Wouldn’t it have been nice riding around in a convertible when I was 16? Here is a 1971 Ford LTD Convertible for sale here on Craigslist in Winchester, Oregon. I could not find that on the map but the seller has an Oregon area code phone. Thanks to Barn Finds reader J. L. for bringing this car to our attention.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1971_ford_ltd_b-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1971_ford_ltd_b-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] In 1971 Ford LTD departed a little from previous years with their rectangular taillights and went to a segmented full-width taillight borrowed from the 1969 and 1970 Mercury Marquis (the Marquis continued this light pattern in 1971). The LTD also added ribbed rocker panel molding with a chrome side molding above it. The paint is not original but looks pretty good, except for an area near the right rear fender extension. The top is in excellent condition. This LTD has had the same owner for the last 20 years who purchased it from the original owner.

From the only interior picture, it looks to be in good condition. The car has air conditioning and power windows. The seats are covered in white vinyl with a full-width front bench seat. The dash and carpeting are black.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1971_ford_ltd_c-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1971_ford_ltd_c-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] No engine picture is included but the car is powered by a 351 cubic inch V-8. It starts and runs good and only has 21,841 miles. The seller says the car has a major price reduction and is currently $7,000. That seems to be quite a reasonable price for a seventies full-size convertible in this condition. Are you ready to anticipate next spring and summer driving around in this LTD Convertible?

This 1978 Ford F-250 4×4 was said to have been purchased by the current owner from an elderly Montana rancher. Still located in Billings, Montana, it is for sale here on eBay with a current bid of just over $3,000. Overall, the truck is showing some use but it appears to be in decent original condition. It has said to be stored inside and looks like an honest survivor.

You have to love the red/white combination. Even the door panels look like they haven’t seen much wear. There is no photo of the engine, but it is said to be a 351 cubic inch with an automatic transmission. It is said to run and drive well, but the AC doesn’t blow cold.

There are some rust spots and rock chips from years of use on gravel roads. Fortunately, it doesn’t appear to be more than surface issues. The seller states “…truck seems very solid and I have not found any evidence of rot and/or rot repair.” So what do you think of this truck? Will you be a bidder?

[h=1]Ready to Restore: 1964 Jaguar E-Type[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Adam-Clarke_avatar_1531128110-24x24.jpg

This 1964 Jaguar E-Type is not a numbers-matching car, but it still remains a fairly solid candidate for a restoration. It will require some work and has been sitting for decades, but it is certainly not the worst E-Type that I’ve seen. The Jaguar is located in Pleasanton, California, and listed for sale here on eBay.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jaguar-2-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/jaguar-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The Jaguar started life finished in Opalescent Dar Blue, but it has undergone a repaint at some point in its life. The body itself seems fairly solid, and it’s also reasonably straight. There is rust in the floors, and these will need replacing. There doesn’t seem to be any structural rust, and all of the external trim appears to be present, and would certainly restore well. The car was fitted with a blue soft-top, and while the frame appears to be complete, the soft-top is beyond any form of salvage and will require replacement.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jaguar-3-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/jaguar-3-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The engine is a 4.2-liter 6-cylinder and is backed by a manual transmission. The engine is not original, but the seller says that it is period correct. The car doesn’t run, but the engine turns freely, and it also displays good compression. A big plus with a car like this is that it does appear that everything is present, and a significant number of items under the hood look like they could be restored.

It looks to be largely complete, but full restoration will be required. To look at an E-Type from the outside the ergonomics look wrong, and I really wasn’t convinced about these as a driver’s car. My first experience with a Series 1 soon changed my mind, and these are a supremely comfortable car to drive and are very involving.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jaguar-5-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/jaguar-5-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I like early E-Type Jaguars, and I especially like the roadsters. I think that they are one of the most stunningly pretty cars ever made. This one needs some work, but it is a reasonable prospect. The bidding on the car has been pretty strong, and at the time of writing it has reached $14,850, but the reserve hasn’t been met. The 4.2-liter versions aren’t as popular as the 3.8, and that’s where the truly big money is. Having said that, it is virtually impossible to buy a decent Series 1 4.2 for under $120,000, so this would appear to be a viable proposition if the reserve isn’t too high.

[h=1]Drive It Home: 1983 Ford Mustang GLX[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Jeff-Lavery_avatar_1510763369-24x24.jpg

While Fox Bodies are a dime a dozen, the early cars with their four square headlights are harder to find in presentable condition. This GLX-spec convertible features the 3.8L Essex V6 and is said to be a reliable driver despite its status as a storage bin in the seller’s garage. Find it here on eBay with an opening bid of $1,700 and no action yet.

The only major issues of note are a convertible top that needs replacing and evidence of a light front hit that affected the bumper and fender on the passenger side. These GLX trim cars were like the Ghia in that they were more focused on luxury and comfort than performance and looks.

The automatic transmission was recently rebuilt and the motor has no known issues (aside from being short two cylinders.) The seller has recently rebuilt the carburetor, installed new fuel and air filters, flushed the cooling tank, and installed new wiper blades.

Unfortunately, despite being cleaned, the carpet hasn’t been re-installed, a somewhat tedious process that I’ve not enjoyed the two times I’ve done it. The seller says all that’s needed before taking this Mustang across the country is for the seats to be dropped back in, and of course, a new top if you expect to encounter rain on your road trip.

[h=1]Parked 23 Years: 1971 Datsun 240Z[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Jeff-Lavery_avatar_1510763369-24x24.jpg

This early-model Datsun 240Z seems like a fair deal at $9,000 if the seller’s description holds water. The listing claims the seller purchased the car from the original owner, who had parked the 240Z in his garage for 23 years. The seller notes an engine-out refresh of the motor and that rust issues are limited to the fenders. Find the Datsun here on craigslist in Seattle.

That’s a later car, too, so it’s hard to discern how this one is still sitting for sale considering it’s an earlier model which tend to command more interest (and money). The body appears sound out back, and all glass looks good.

The OEM-correct steering wheel and shift knob are still present, and it looks to have a period-correct radio installed. I’ve learned through marketing the various 240s, 260s, and 280s we have for sale as part of the Georgia collection clean-out that original trim items and uncracked dashes are highly desirable among Z car fanatics.

This one seems like a steal at $9K, unless there’s a fatal flaw I haven’t spotted in the photos.

Up for sale is a blue, numbers matching 1972 Mustang Mach 1 with 79,000 miles on it. It is located in Waterloo, Ontario at a respectable price of $6,995, although it doesn’t distinguish if that is American or Canadian dollars. Thank you to Simon P. for the tip. More information about the car can be found here to Kijiji.

The listing also states the car has a 9-inch rear end. While it looks somewhat decent from the photos, the listing is honest enough to point out that there are some rust spots fenders.

The blue interior has seen better days, but it does look quite sporty and when new, probably looked absolutely fantastic. As is common with cars stored for long periods of time, 30 years in this cars case, there is a lot of rubbish that has piled up inside. There is no shortage of rubbish piled up on the outside either. The listing states that the driver side floor panel needs to be replaced. The rear seat folds down, which is a cool option.

Those items include a new carpet, headliner, floor panel, trim pieces, and a host of other items. The seller also states they have an extra gallon of the original paint color. This car would be a perfect project car and is a great price. If you had a New Year resolution to start working on a car, this would be a

[h=1]30 Years in a Barn: 1970 Mercury Marauder X-100[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Scotty-Gilbertson_avatar_1510764136-24x24.jpg

When I think of a 1970 Mercury Marauder X-100 I think of a luxury cruiser – fast, posh, smooth, quiet, sleek, powerful. All things that I am not. This example can be found here on eBay in Union City, Oklahoma with a $6,000 buy it now price or you can make an offer.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/010219-1970-Mercury-Marauder-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] This Marauder looks somewhat rough and showing a car propped up on a jack is maybe not the best way to show off the condition, or perceived condition. Maybe the rear tire was flat and they didn’t want to show it with a flat tire, who knows. It’ll take a fair amount of work to bring this car back to its former glory but they are rare cars having only been made in 1969 and 1970. They offered a dark ivy green but I’m not sure about this color? The “Original wheels were damaged years ago. Two original wheels are included with four aftermarket steel wheels. All wheels are 15 inch. Will need new tires.” They also say that this car “was apparently involved in an accident once and was repaired.” The body looks pretty good from what I can tell, at least for a 49-year-old car that has been in a barn for 30 of those years.

I told myself that I wouldn’t concentrate so much on the photos in 2019, or the poor photo quality and poor “staging” – spending ten whole minutes to get a vehicle presentable before taking photos – so I won’t do that here (or, did I just do that?). The seller mentions the missing trim piece on the right quarter seen in the above photo. They say that the rear wheel skirts were an option that aren’t on this example. It really makes the look complete in my opinion, it looks too much like a standard Mercury or, gasp, even a standard Ford for my taste without them. But, like everything, it all comes down to taste, a lot of folks don’t like the look of fender skirts. They say that this Marauder was in a barn for 30 years and it sure looks like they just pulled it out, but being indoors has helped to preserve much of it which is great. “Body is is decent condition for its age, with surprisingly little rust. Under the car has rust consistent with a 48+ year-old car. Car is fairly dirty making it hard to see rust. It was kept in a barn for about 30 years, somewhat protecting it from the elements.”

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/010219-1970-Mercury-Marauder-4-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] I was hoping to see the center console with the U-shaped automatic transmission gear selector, but this one has a column-shifted automatic. No bucket seats or power windows here either, but the Marauder had quite a few options to upgrade the interior, exterior, and drivetrain. The back seat looks like new other than being a little dusty from being in storage. Speaking of storage, the title is missing, so plan on doing some legwork there.

Points were replaced in order to start engine. Leaked fuel on top of engine block, will need new fuel line. Pulley for water pump was sized.” I’m always worried about mice when a car is in storage for so long, especially when it’s in a remote building like a barn or shed. This engine should have had about 360 hp which is great. This car deserves to be restored back to like new, in my opinion, but it won’t be inexpensive to do that.
