I’m a sucker for bumpside Ford trucks made between 1967 and 1972. In fact, I own two myself. The price for these fifth-gen F100’s keep going up with no end in sight. This particular truck is a 1970 and can be found here on eBay with a current bid of $6,100. The truck is located in Fort Harrison, Montana and is said to show about 52,000 original miles! It has amazing patina and looks like a pretty honest truck. Check it out and let us know what you think.

You can see surface rust and the boxwood green paint is faded in all the right places. By looking at the bed and the bottom edges of the doors, there is very little (if any) penetrating rust! You can see some poking out through the stainless rocker guards. Popping those off quickly would tell more of the story.

These engines are really easy to work on for the shade-tree mechanic. Parts are readily available and they run well.

[h=1]1968 Jaguar E-Type Garage Find[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Jesse-Mortensen_avatar_1510764851-24x24.jpg

If an E-Type is on your bucket list then this project might be of interest to you. The seller claims that they inquired it with the intent of restoring it, but they never got around to it. They are smart enough to know that it’s time to cut this one loose and let someone else attempt the job. The car is located in Chapin, South Carolina and is listed here on eBay for $39k or best offer.

So this car benefits from the early body style, but the new crash standards killed off the cool headlight covers and dash toggle switches. Those small details will fad away once you slide over the huge door sill and look down that long hood!

Some would assume that the later V12 is the engine to have. More cylinders must be better, right? Nope. The inline-six is the one you want. It was smooth, powerful, and less complicated. I can attest it was better just for the sheer fact that there’s more room to work on things. The seller claims that this engine ran when the car was parked and that they have kept oil in the cylinders.

Still, the price might be a little optimistic for a car with so many unknowns. You might be able to get the engine running and just go through the brakes to have a driver, or it might take a whole lot more. The seller is willing the hear offers though so what do you think it will end up going for?

[h=1]One Owner: 1971 Ford Torino GT[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bill-Owens_avatar_1535405416-24x24.jpg

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1971_ford_torino_gt_a-e1549232560595-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
In 1970, Motor Trend magazine selected the Ford Torino as its “Car of the Year”. For 1971, Ford didn’t waste a lot of time or money changing the car. There were minor changes to the grille and that was mostly it. Here is a 1971 Ford Torino GT SportsRoof for sale here on eBay in Grovetown, Georgia.

The paint job on this Torino GT is showing quite a bit of patina, with some surface rust and thinned paint in some areas. The front grille frame is broken in the center, and the GT insignia, while included, is off.

This one owner car is sporting the standard hubcaps with trim rings. This model emphasizes with pinstriping the side dip from the front fender top through the door dropping between the door handle and door lock. It further drops down below the side back glass. The GT features a rear simulating full-width taillights. The seller says it will need a new hood and deck lid due to rust on the edges. The doors open and close fine.

It features a full-width front bench seat and back seat with no cracks or tears. The dash has no cracks either, but the steering wheel does have the center section pulling away. The car has SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The seller has the original title and sale invoice that go with the car.

The seller states that the oil, air filter, and coolant are clean. While the car has not run since 1998, it clocked 129,000 miles up to that time. The seller says he/she has no interest in the car because they are not a Ford fan, but says they will not give it away. Are you looking for a sporty Ford project car? This could be the one for you.

[h=1]One Year Only Color: 1967 Mustang Fastback[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Jesse-Mortensen_avatar_1510764851-24x24.jpg

This Mustang is special because, well, it’s a ’67 fastback. Besides that, it came from the factory painted in a one year only Frost Turquoise color. You may consider that a good or bad thing depending on how well you like baby blue. Either way, this seems like a good starting point for a very cool pony car project. It’s located in Mays Landing, New Jersey and is listed here on eBay for $14k.

As you can see, it’s a loud color and is very similar to some colors used before and after this car was built. Search for Tropical Turquoise and you’ll see what I mean. That may make this paint thing seem less special, but it is true that the color was only offered for one year.
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Flintstone-Floors-630x390.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Flintstone-Floors-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] It’s not hard to find replacement parts for a Mustang, but rust is just as hard to repair as any other car. There’s light coming up through the floorboard on the passenger side. The seller claims that the front and rear frame rails are solid though so that may not be the end of the world. Just be sure you are practiced up on your welding skills or know someone who is.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/No-Engine-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] Unfortunately, there is also a lot of light coming up from the engine bay. There used to be a 289 V8 with a 4-barrel carb on top in there. This could be a good excuse to put a new Coyote in there. The A-code engine slotted in the middle though so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go back to original either. Either way, sourcing a drive train is going to add to the cost here.

A restored GT fastback in the same color sold for $38,900 a while back. That means you may be able to get from here to there without getting too far underwater. Well, maybe if you did all the work yourself, including paint…

This Mustang is special because, well, it’s a ’67 fastback. Besides that, it came from the factory painted in a one year only Frost Turquoise color. You may consider that a good or bad thing depending on how well you like baby blue. Either way, this seems like a good starting point for a very cool pony car project. It’s located in Mays Landing, New Jersey and is listed here on eBay for $14k.

As you can see, it’s a loud color and is very similar to some colors used before and after this car was built. Search for Tropical Turquoise and you’ll see what I mean. That may make this paint thing seem less special, but it is true that the color was only offered for one year.

There’s light coming up through the floorboard on the passenger side. The seller claims that the front and rear frame rails are solid though so that may not be the end of the world. Just be sure you are practiced up on your welding skills or know someone who is.

There used to be a 289 V8 with a 4-barrel carb on top in there. This could be a good excuse to put a new Coyote in there. The A-code engine slotted in the middle though so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go back to original either. Either way, sourcing a drive train is going to add to the cost here.

A restored GT fastback in the same color sold for $38,900 a while back. That means you may be able to get from here to there without getting too far underwater. Well, maybe if you did all the work yourself, including paint…

Sadly the “P” Code Winter Blue paint appears to have been sanded off this Mustang or covered up some time ago. If owning one of 2807 Winter Blue Mustangs isn’t your jam, perhaps you admire the “R” Code 428 Cobra Jet engine and Ram Air “shaker” hood. Despite looking like it was ridden hard and put away wet, this once-proud Pony Car left the factory with a 428 Cobra Jet Ram-Air powertrain. That fact certainly makes it more interesting, even though the current motor and transmission came from a 1970 CJ Mustang. Located in Mount Hope, West Virginia, this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 hopes to find a new owner with an auction here on eBay where an incurable optimist can merely click Buy It Now and agree to part with $22,000.

It the car’s defense, though, it shows little evidence of accident damage and the ’80s stance with leaf-spring shackles may have helped elevate the underside beyond the reach of mud and vegetation. The five-slot mags are a nice period touch. In the seller’s words, this fastback will need “rust repair to the… Floor pans, Quarter area, torque boxes, floor support, trunk area, (and) lower doors.” Luckily the Mustang’s popularity means most, if not all, of these parts are readily available. Try not to rip your classic Mustang in two when winching it onto your trailer.

Though looking rather downtrodden compared to a gleaming factory-perfect engine compartment, this non-original engine is claimed to be a true 1970 428 Cobra-Jet. Few changes were made between ’69 and ’70, but it does change the sound-track for anyone seeking an all-original car.

Other details include the automatic transmission, Traction-Lok differential with the 3.25: 1 gears, power steering, power front disc brakes, tinted glass, and the AM Stereo with 8-track player. Originally sold in Minnesota, this car certainly beat the odds simply by surviving a snow-belt beginning. What would you pay to get this pony in your stable?

When it comes to project cars, they probably don’t come much more basic than this 1969 Mustang. It is going to require a lot of work, so the new owner is going to have to be prepared to roll up their sleeves to return it to its former glory. Located in Pottsboro, Texas, it is listed for sale here on eBay.

Someone has already removed a fair chunk of the floors, but there is still some rust visible in what remains. It also looks like both the front and rear frame rails, along with the torque boxes, have all been attacked by rust, and will require repair or replacement. While the car does come with front fenders and a hood that all look reasonable, there are no doors, no trunk lid, and no glass included with the car. One area of the car that really surprises me is the quarter panels because they look like they might be free of everything but surface corrosion.

The lack of trim items means that you literally have nothing to work with because there isn’t even a dash present with the car.

That is no longer present. The car also doesn’t come with a transmission or driveshaft, and the original 9″ rear end is also gone. A 4-bolt rear end of unknown origin is fitted to the car to allow it to roll. While there is plenty of surface corrosion present, along with some small visible areas of rot, it looks like the shock towers might actually be clean.

While a lot of rust has already been removed, there is still an awful lot that needs attending to. The fact that it has been stripped so bare of components and trim means that the next owner will potentially be starting from scratch to restore this car. The owner has set a BIN price of $5,000 for the car, but the option is there to make an offer. Do you think that someone will take it on, or will someone buy it for the clean Utah title?

[h=1]Government Affairs: Navy-Owned ’67 Ford Bronco[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Jeff-Lavery_avatar_1510763369-24x24.jpg

This 1967 Ford Bronco was purchased by the federal government to be used in the “Civic and Government Affairs” division of the U.S. Navy. Unlike most taxpayer-funded acquisitions by our fair leaders, this Bronco actually seems to be providing a healthy return on investment considering it still runs and drives all these years later. The period headlight guards are a rarely seen cosmetic tweak, and despite some body issues, this example here on eBay runs and drives and is bid to a reasonable $7,800 at the moment.

Still, we’ve seen rustier Broncos find new owners via eBay, so this one is well within the threshold of reasonable restoration. Supposedly, most of the military-spec Broncos were either crushed or sold for parts when their assignments ended.

The seller notes that the engine has been swapped to a 200 I-6 at some point, so this truck will likely never be a numbers matching example. It will start, run, and drive, but the brakes need attention and the gear linkage is suitable crunchy at the moment, so it gets jammed up.

What’s more interesting is the research you’ll find on ClassicBroncos.com that does a deep dive into the history of the Broncos going into military service. You really owe it yourself to scan through if you’re a Bronco (or history) fan, as it claims only 13 trucks were known to exit military service with their ID tags still in place. I’d love to know if the individual behind the research counted this truck when coming up with this number. There are just under two days left in the auction, so check it out soon if you’re intrigued.

[h=1]427 Side-Oiler: 1969 Shelby GT500 Drag Pack[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Jeff-Lavery_avatar_1510763369-24x24.jpg

This 1969 Shelby GT500 is a claimed survivor, with healthy documentation going back to the day it was bought new. The seller is a self-proclaimed Mustang enthusiast and notes that this GT500 is a rare Drag Pack car with 3/4 of its original paint still attached. The original engine was swapped out by the first owner who bought a 427 side-oiler from the selling dealer and had it installed. With all those OEM enhancements, it’s sure to be a fun ride. Find it here on eBay with bidding over $45K and the reserve unmet.

The seller notes the original radio still functions, although the Tilt-Away wheel – while present – no longer works. The driver’s sat has a tear, and it looks like the passenger seat does as well. These are minor quibbles and easily fixed. The dash doesn’t appear to show any cracks and the door panels present nicely.

The seller notes some original accessories remain attached, along with the carburetor and the distributor – although an Edelbrock intake manifold has been added. The original radiator even remains with the car, although the seller has thankfully replaced the upper ball joints, brakes, and tires.

The floors are said to be in excellent condition with the only rust noted on the right-side rear quarter panel. With just 68,000 miles and only three recorded owners since new, this is likely one of the more preserved GT500s to come up for auction recently, and it’s not surprising to see plenty of bidders lining up for a shot at it.

[h=1]Spring’s Coming! 1965 Mustang Convertible[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Jamie-Palmer_avatar_1510764066-24x24.jpg

As I sit here in 76 degree F North Carolina in February (yeah, you Yankees can be envious now) thoughts of convertibles fill my head! There’s a Mustang project for sale at no reserve here on eBay that with some dedicated effort (or a lot of money) could be back on the road by Spring. It’s located in Los Angeles and bidding is up to $7,000 now — I can’t be the only one thinking of top down driving!

However, the seller tells us that it needs floor pans, some frame rail work, some trunk work and replacement inner rockers. For those of you experienced with Mustangs, some of those should scare you a bit, especially at this price. But maybe I’m overreacting.

[h=1]K-Code ‘Stang: 1966 Ford Mustang GT[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Adam-Clarke_avatar_1531128110-24x24.jpg

This 1966 Mustang GT has had some repair work performed on it in the past, and the owner is candid enough to point this out to any potential buyers. On the face of it in the photos, the car looks to be quite solid, but there’s nothing quite like a personal inspection to confirm the condition of the car. The Mustang is located in Jay, Florida, and is listed for sale here on eBay in a No Reserve auction.

It looks like some of the front repairs are visible in one photo, but there is no obvious visible rust on the outside of the car. This shot of the floor looks relatively clean, although there is some surface corrosion in evidence. It looks like the pinion seal on the rear end has leaked, and this has allowed oil to spray up onto the floor above the rear end. There has also been a repair to the floor pan at some point, but things do look fairly encouraging.

The first is the fact that the car has been fitted with an aftermarket CD player. Thankfully no-one has cut into the doors or door trims to fit speakers, but they have done so in the rear parcel tray. This is a California car, so the sun has taken a toll on the upholstery, although that toll is quite light. The top of the rear seat has been damaged by the UV rays, but the rest of the interior trim has survived quite well. There is a cover on the dash, so we can’t see the state of the dash pad.

The engine is still a 289ci V8, and the owner says that it is a strong runner. The car is also fitted with an automatic transmission. The engine bay looks quite clean for a car of this age, and there doesn’t appear as though there are many major deviations from original.

It is quite a clean car, and there doesn’t appear to be any major issues with rust. As I previously said, there is no substitute for a personal inspection. This is especially true with first generation Mustangs, as they can be so prone to rust problems. The fact that this car has spent virtually its entire life in California is a reassuring factor, as cars from that area tend to be more solid. The owner has set the opening bid for the Mustang at $15,00 in a No Reserve auction, but at the time of writing there have been no bids. However, there are 19 people who are watching the auction, and with the steadily increasing values that cars like this are continuing to experience, I wouldn’t be surprised if the bidding starts fairly soon.

[h=1]EXCLUSIVE: 1965 Ford Mustang Project[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-includes/images/blank.gif
Reader
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/1965-Ford-Mustang-630x390.jpg
Reader Michael M saved this Mustang notch back from going to the crusher about 20 years ago. It needed a ton of work and over the years he’s been working on fixing it up. He installed a fresh Police Interceptor 302 V8 in it and serviced the transmission, but other obligations limited his ability to finish the car. It’s time to let this project go, so if you’d love to take it on, you can find it in Cedar Park, Texas for $5,000 and you can message Michael about it via the form below.
What Makes It Special? This car was originally parked in a goat pasture in Liberty Hill, Texas by the original owner and subsequently sold to a salvage yard, headed to the crusher. I stepped up and bought it about 20 years ago. I have been working on it on and off, between taking care of my parents. My money pretty much went for their care. I have to sell it to pay off the rest of their bills, as they are no longer here.
Body Condition: The basic body is solid, but the passenger side floor pans need to be replaced. It is a 50+ year old car and will need a ground up restoration.
Mechanical Condition: The engine is from a police interceptor ( 302/5.0). The C4 transmission has been gone through with new clutch packs, seals, etc… The engine bay has been repainted and a new wiring harness installed. The brakes are brand new with only a few miles on them before the car was parked. A new stainless steel fuel line was also installed with the rest of mechanical freshening up.
Access to get photos is a bit limited, but Michael did his best to get photos of all the major parts of the car, so be sure to take a close look at the photos below. It’s definitely going to need a complete cosmetic restoration. If the rust really is limited to just the passenger’s side floor, it wouldn’t be too difficult to get ready for paint. It looks like all the major parts are present and reusable. After finishing the bodywork, some paint and a new interior and this would be one fun machine. So, if you’re interested in buying it, be sure to message Michael about it!

Reader Michael M saved this Mustang notch back from going to the crusher about 20 years ago. It needed a ton of work and over the years he’s been working on fixing it up. He installed a fresh Police Interceptor 302 V8 in it and serviced the transmission, but other obligations limited his ability to finish the car. It’s time to let this project go, so if you’d love to take it on, you can find it in Cedar Park, Texas for $5,000 and you can message Michael about it via the form below.
What Makes It Special? This car was originally parked in a goat pasture in Liberty Hill, Texas by the original owner and subsequently sold to a salvage yard, headed to the crusher. I stepped up and bought it about 20 years ago. I have been working on it on and off, between taking care of my parents. My money pretty much went for their care. I have to sell it to pay off the rest of their bills, as they are no longer here.
Body Condition: The basic body is solid, but the passenger side floor pans need to be replaced. It is a 50+ year old car and will need a ground up restoration.
Mechanical Condition: The engine is from a police interceptor ( 302/5.0). The C4 transmission has been gone through with new clutch packs, seals, etc… The engine bay has been repainted and a new wiring harness installed. The brakes are brand new with only a few miles on them before the car was parked. A new stainless steel fuel line was also installed with the rest of mechanical freshening up.
Access to get photos is a bit limited, but Michael did his best to get photos of all the major parts of the car, so be sure to take a close look at the photos below. It’s definitely going to need a complete cosmetic restoration. If the rust really is limited to just the passenger’s side floor, it wouldn’t be too difficult to get ready for paint. It looks like all the major parts are present and reusable. After finishing the bodywork, some paint and a new interior and this would be one fun machine. So, if you’re interested in buying it, be sure to message Michael about it!

- Asking Price: $5,000

[h=1]Famous Ferrari F40 Being Auctioned By U.S. Marshals[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Montana-Danford_avatar_1511325752-24x24.jpg

This 1991 Ferrari F40 hasn’t lived the typical supercar life. While most of its siblings enjoy posh lifestyles, cruising through the streets of Miami or Beverly Hills, this car has a different story to tell. While on a routine test drive, the car was wrecked. The car was subsequently sold and purchased by the world-famous Gas Monkey Garage. Reportedly paying $400,000 for the wrecked car, it took a few hundred thousand more dollars to get the frame straight and put the car back together. But that is just the start of the story…

It was put on air ride (which reportedly was a first for this model), the engine was tweaked to over 550 horsepower and the car was dropped on custom wheels and tires. After the car was complete, it was auctioned at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale, 2014. The buyer was none other than Reggie Jackson! Mr. Jackson spent $742,500 on the car and had it for about a year. He decided it was too fast and subsequently sold it at Barrett-Jackson a year later taking a nearly $100,000 loss! But the most interesting part of this cars journey is yet to come…

The winning bidder at the second auction was California businessman Richard Scott. Mr. Scott owned a company which operated parking lots throughout the Los Angeles area and built an amazing car collection that spoke to his success. However, according to the Hemmings article: “In 2018, Scott pleaded guilty to defrauding the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs out of more than $13 million, his actions stretching back roughly 15 years. Now serving a six-year sentence in federal prison, Scott was also ordered to pay restitution of $12.6 million, much of it coming from the sale of seized assets.”

All are being auctioned online, along with seized vehicles from other sources, by Apple Auctioneering. In fact, Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey Garage posted on social media that he may bid on the car and try and get it back!

[h=1]Payment Plan: 1966 Ford Mustang[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Adam-Clarke_avatar_1531128110-24x24.jpg

This 1966 Mustang is for sale by a private seller, but judging by the wording in the advertisement, it appears that he is open to an interest-free time payment plan, which might make the car that bit more attractive to some people. It doesn’t sport its original engine and transmission at present, but the correct transmission and associated hardware is included with the car, along with a reasonable stash of bits and pieces. The Mustang is located in Houston, Texas, and is listed for sale here on eBay.

There is some rust visible in the lower corners of the doors, and it also looks like there have been some repairs performed in the lower parts of both quarter panels and around the rear wheel arches. There is certainly rust in the floors, but the owner says that the torque boxes are solid, while the frame rails and shock towers also appear to be quite good.

There is no driver’s door trim, and the card for the passenger door trim looks warped, but the upholstery itself, including the seats, look to be in good order. The dash pad does look a bit suspect on the front edge, and the car is fitted with an aftermarket radio/cassette player. Thankfully, it doesn’t appear that the dash has been cut to fit this.

It is now fitted with a 302ci engine and an automatic transmission. The owner believes that the engine may have had some work done to it, as it looks quite fresh, and has been fitted with headers and a high-rise intake. The engine doesn’t run, but it does turn freely. For those of you who might want to return the car to its original specifications, the owner is including a correct 3-speed manual transmission, complete with linkages, shifter, cross-member, clutch pivot arm, and an old clutch and pressure plate. There is also a stash of parts in the trunk, including the pullies and alternator for a serpentine belt set-up.

The general lack of rust is quite encouraging, and it really doesn’t look like restoring it would be too difficult. It would probably be best suited to a person who just wants to build a nice Mustang to their own personal tastes, rather than for someone who is set on 100% originality. The owner appears to be quite flexible in his approach to selling the car. He has set a BIN price of $5,000, or the option is there to make an offer. he also states that he would take a down payment of $2,000, with 3 monthly payments of $1,000 to sell it. The term “motivated seller” certainly has popped into my head.

The owner appears to be quite flexible in his approach to selling the car. He has set a BIN price of $5,000, or the option is there to make an offer. he also states that he would take a down payment of $2,000, with 3 monthly payments of $1,000 to sell it. The term “motivated seller” certainly has popped into my head.

[h=1]Cheap Fastback? 1965 Ford Mustang Project[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Adam-Clarke_avatar_1531128110-24x24.jpg

The owner of this Mustang Fastback has commenced the job of transforming the car into a street/strip vehicle but has decided to sell it. While this has resulted in a number of modifications, the project hasn’t proceeded to the point of no return, so if the new owner wanted to restore it to original, that’s still possible. The Mustang is located in Cold Brook, New York, and is listed for sale here on eBay.

The car has been fitted with new quarters, new fenders, and new valances. The doors and rockers look solid, and the car is also fitted with a Shelby hood. There is still some surface corrosion there, but it looks pretty promising. There is a fair amount of exterior trim and chrome that is not fitted to the car, and it isn’t clear how much of it is present in amongst the parts that virtually fill the car’s interior.

It’s pretty obvious that in its current state the engine doesn’t run, but we get no indication as to whether it turns freely. The engine certainly looks pretty crusty, but from what we can see, it looks like the shock towers might be solid. The owner certainly doesn’t mention any problems with those in the advertisement.

The Mustang has been fitted with a roll cage, a frame has been welded into the rear of the car, a fuel cell has been fitted, and the car has been tubbed. None of this work is irreversible, and given the fact that the car is also in need of new floors, then removal of these modifications could be part of the restoration project. The interior is pretty well non-existent beyond the dash. It looks like there might be some interior trim pieces sitting in the car, but it’s unclear how many pieces are there, or their general condition.

The project as it stands now could head in two entirely different directions. There is no reason why the car couldn’t be returned to standard, or it could just as easily be completed as a strip car. To me, the interesting aspect is the price. At the time of writing, bidding has only reached $2,150, but the reserve has not been met. There is also a BIN option of $4,000. However, with the work that has already been done, coupled with the fact that the car is being sold with a salvage title, I suspect that the future mileage for this car may be accumulated a ¼ mile at a time.

[h=1]Cheap and Cheerful: 1973 Mustang SportsRoof[/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\/2019\/02\/sportsroof-1-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2]
By 1973, the Mustang was virtually unrecognizable when placed beside the car that had emerged from Ford only a few years before. However, while we can be quick to condemn the Mustang for the way that it grew, it is by no means an unusual occurrence. For instance, if you compare a current Toyota Corolla with a Corolla from 1973, the current car has expanded in every dimension. So, by 1973 the Mustang had grown from a lithe pony car into a luxury coupe. This particular Mustang is a car in need of restoration, as it has become a sad sight. Located in Pocatello, Idaho, it is listed for sale here on eBay.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sportsroof-2-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The first thing that I will say is that I can’t believe that someone decided that this Mustang really needed a color change. To some people, the ’73 Mustang might not have been the most attractive of cars, but painting it in a dark color (apart from dark metallic blue or green, or black) does it no favors at all. The car would have looked quite attractive in its original Medium Aqua, but then, I guess it probably seemed like a good idea at the time. There is some of the usual Mustang rust visible around the car, including around the rear wheel arches. The lower quarter panels actually look okay, as do the rockers. We don’t get any indication regarding the state of the floors or frame, but the owner does say that he has a replacement fender and grille to replace the damaged items on the car.

Hooked to this are an automatic transmission and a 9″ rear end. Once again, this is not a combination that is likely to set your pulse racing, but it is a combination that is incredibly reliable. The engine is the original unit, and it doesn’t currently run. The car has been in storage for a number of years, but if the engine isn’t locked, it might not take much to kick it back into life.

It is typical of cars of this era to have holes cut in the door trims for aftermarket speakers, and that’s the case with this Mustang. The original radio is also missing, which would indicate that there has probably been a radio/cassette player fitted at some stage. The interior is going to require complete restoration, but I have to say that the white trim matched with the original Medium Aqua paint must have been a nice combination when the car was new.

However, there are people out there who really like the style of the 1973 Mustang. Production of the Mustang peaked at 607,000 cars in 1966, and even though many people criticized the 1973 model, it still managed to achieve sales of 135,000 cars. That indicates that someone liked them…and people still do. An immaculate example can fetch anywhere from $16,000 upwards, and while that is not mega-dollars, it’s still respectable. The owner of this Mustang has set a BIN price of $2,800, but there is the option to make an offer. That seems like a pretty competitive price for a complete Mustang that doesn’t appear to be a complete basket case.

[h=1]Car of Many Colors: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bill-Owens_avatar_1535405416-24x24.jpg

After an initial three year run of its original body style, Pontiac Firebird, as well as Chevrolet Camaro, came out with a totally new body style midway through the 1970 model year. These cars benefitted from a fastback roof, and gone were the convertibles. Firebird was offered in four models; a base model, luxury-oriented Esprit, totally performance Trans Am, and this mild performance Formula 400. Only 7,708 of the Formula 400 were made in 1970. This is a 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 for sale here on eBay in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada.

The seller calls this Verdoro Green, but I think its actually a different shade of green called Pepper Green. The paint is definitely tired but the only dent that can be seen is a minor one on the driver’s side rear fender edge near the taillight. The seller describes the car as complete but tired and in need of a rebuild. However, the car has some rust issues and is in need of front floors, trunk floor, rear frame rails, and rear valance. Unfortunately, no pictures of any of these issues are included. The seller even mentions that it could be used as a parts car for a Trans Am, but at the Buy it Now Price of $7,900, it’s a pricey parts car. But if you have a Trans Am that need what this one has, it might not be such a bad deal after all. The Formula 400 has a fiberglass hood with twin hood scoops.

The interior appears to be in good condition. We find here bucket seats with a center console. There are no tears or rips on the seats and no cracks on the dash that can be seen in the pictures. This Formula 400 is equipped with power steering, power brakes, non-working air conditioning, power windows, and rally gauges including a tachometer.

This is one of 4,931 Formula 400s that had the Turbo Hydra-Matic Transmission. The seller believes all engine components are original except for alternator and starter. The car runs, stops and steers. The mileage listed in the ad is 10101, but I believe that probably means 101,000 miles. So, what would you have in mind for this car? A total restoration or a parts car for an early seventies Trans Am?

As a lover of almost everything bearing the blue oval, these photos are enough to make me whimper. This 1970 Mustang, with a genuine 68,000 miles on the clock, has definitely seen better days. I don’t really know what fate will finally befall this once beautiful car, but its future can’t be much worse than what it has already endured. The Mustang is located in Knoxville, Tennessee, and is listed for sale here at Copart. I have to thank Barn Finder Nicholas T for referring this Mustang to us.

I really don’t know what this car hit, but I think it’s pretty fair to assume that whatever it was probably won the battle. At first, I thought that there might be some possibility of resurrecting the car, but there are enough kinks and bends visible in different locations to indicate that the shock from the impact has gone right through the shell, and the only thing to do would be to replace it. However, there are plenty of good parts and pieces still attached to the car that could be used on a new shell. Probably the biggest sticking point is the fact that the car now has a Tennessee Salvage Certificate, so how you would proceed from there varies across different states.

The interior certainly looks to be in great condition, and the vast majority of the interior trim and components look like they could easily serve in another car, or in a restoration project. What can’t be used is the engine, because that’s already gone. However, the manual transmission and the rest of the mechanical components all look to be present, and hopefully, they have survived the crash undamaged.

Someone may buy it for the tags and undertake a restoration using a donor shell. The other path may lie in this becoming a donor car to help someone to finish off an existing project. It will be interesting to watch this auction because with bidding only sitting at $1,750, I suspect that there will be a way to go yet.

[h=1]Only 28K Miles: 1967 Ford Mustang[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bill-Owens_avatar_1535405416-24x24.jpg

All Mustangs were not created equally. Some were blessed with V-8s while others were content to be powered by only 6 cylinders. This is one of the later. In 1967, Mustang had its first real competition. While the Plymouth Barracuda was previously a minor contender, it was restyled in 1967 with three models plus the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and Mercury Cougar had arrived. Even with the competition, Mustang still sold over 472,000 cars in 1967. This is a 1967 Ford Mustang 2 door hardtop for sale here on Craigslist in Jarrell, Texas.

Until that time it had been driven only 28,000 miles and was parked. The car even has its original tires. I’m wondering how that happened though because bias ply tires normally didn’t last that long if my memory serves me correctly.

Inside we find an interior in good condition except that the headliner is ripped and falling down. The black vinyl bucket seats are in great condition and the dash has no cracks. This car has a SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic transmission. It also appears to possibly have the optional Tilt-Away steering wheel that moves aside when the door is open and tilted up and down to nine driving positions.

The seller drives the car some on the interstate at 65 mph, and it runs fine. There is about $400 in repairs needed to the seat belts, horn, and parking cable. There is no title, but depending on your state’s conditions for titling a vehicle this age, that may not be an issue. The seller is asking $6,500 for this low mileage Mustang that will only need a few things to make it road ready. Are you a big fan of the 1967 and 1968 Mustang?

At one time, California was the epicenter of everything cool. Hollywood, Disneyland , hot rods, and surfing were all synonymous with the Golden State. Nowadays, the news tells us that California’s golden days are over. The same can be said for early Mustang coupes like this 1965 model for sale here on eBay out of Lucerne Valley, California. Produced in the hundreds of thousands, these American icons were coveted by buyers and, later, restorers for their good looks and honest simplicity. Recent trends have pointed to this love affair cooling. Prices are down for restored examples, and the cost of fixing one up from scratch hasn’t gotten any cheaper. Is the seller’s $2,995 price reasonable in this market? Does being a California car matter anymore?

It was even built at the Ford assembly plant in Los Angeles. Finished in Wimbledon White, the car was equipped with an inline six cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. Said to run when it was parked in 1990, this pony has seen better days for sure.

A close look at the first picture reveals a broken grille bar and some roughness in the front of the hood. This roughness appears to be old Bondo. Bondo is an easy to use body filler that is good for hiding small dents and other imperfections in a car’s body. The problem is that it can hold water and is not meant for filling deep damage. Sadly, many “body men” use it for just that purpose. By the time the customer sees there is a problem, the chances of returning the car for a proper repair are long since over. Add to that another issue. The front pan is a bit dented on the driver’s side, and that section looks a bit elevated due to some sort of impact. Maybe this Mustang was in a Hollywood car chase.

There is also a portion of the drivers side rear roof pillar cut out for a repair that never happened. Also evident is some waviness in the drivers quarter panel behind the rear wheel. This is a known rust area for early Mustangs, so a close inspection in this area is warranted with any Mustang. One good attribute is the eighties vintage aluminum wheels. Cleaned up, they may help the new owner recover some of their purchase price on craigslist. Or, if the build isn’t to be a factory perfect restoration, they might be worth keeping.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"390","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fiberglass-Repair-630x390.jpg"}[/IMG2] The final picture shows what would have happened to the driver’s side rear pillar if the repair had been completed. This looks to be fiberglass smothered in resin. If you were to restore this car correctly, or even if you cared about your repair lasting, then this would have to be ground out. Patch panels are available for every single piece of sheet metal on an early Mustang. While this might have been OK for the local body shop in 1990, there is no reason to cut corners like this now.
That patch, and the many other signs of rust on this car, should give a buyer pause. All of it can be repaired, and the seller tells us that the car has “clean floors.” Southern California’s lack of salt on the roads may have ended up a plus, but the salt air didn’t help the body any. The biggest problem you will have is that you will soon be upside down financially on a six cylinder coupe in today’s market. Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are flooded with early Mustangs that are in equal or better condition for around the same price. Many of these are abandoned restorations that come with extra new and used parts. For somewhat more, you can buy a Mustang of this vintage that you can drive home immediately. The difference in price likely wouldn’t cover half the costs of a restoration.
Is this Mustang worth the asking price? Does the fact that it is a Southern California car matter? Let us know what you think.
