By Brian Birkner Cars with great style and looks are always a joy to check out, but one thing that can really separate a car from many is it’s past. With a colorful history as a dragster hauler, this 1963 Country Sedan went to many a race on the west coast, and was even modified some in its dragster towing past. Slightly lowered, with a 390 V8 and genuine mahogany and maple wood, this sleek wagon is ready to cruise. For $12,950, you can be the owner of this great looking classic. Take a look at this beauty here on craigslist out of Seattle, Washington.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"420","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/63-Ford-Galaxie-Country-Sedan-2-630x420.jpg"}[/IMG2] Packing a 390 backed by an automatic, and a recent dual master disc brake set up, this wagon can stop, go, and show. Another welcomed feature is air conditioning, with a vintage air conditioning console mounted below the dash in the interior. The engine bay is fairly clean with minimal dirt, and little chipped paint to be found. Recently a newer gas tank was installed and a dual exhaust system was fitted. It would seem that the seller has not been shy about putting time and money into this old wagon.

The upholstery and carpet appears new, and the dash is in very nice shape. The only issues I can see are the cracked horn button and steering wheel. Apparently from its dragster towing days, someone installed faux white fur on the ceiling and on the rear wheel wells.

Mahogany and maple can be found in the cargo area which has a pleasant and classic appearance.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"420","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/63-Ford-Galaxie-Country-Sedan-5-630x420.jpg"}[/IMG2] The exterior is absolutely stunning for many reasons. The body was repainted as of last year, and the non-original wood really yields a great look as well. Another key detail that sets off this car are the American brand ET Super wheels that are the precursor to the famous Torque Thrust wheel that we all know and admire today. Appearing without flaw, this wagon is worthy of being studied for hours. The paint is beautiful, and the detailed wood on the body and on the roof offers another layer of “depth” to this Ford’s appearance. With a history that we all wish we could have lived, and a mesmerizing beauty that only few can compare to, this Country Sedan will likely be snapped up to be enjoyed again in the spring. Could you see yourself cruising in this classic wagon?

[h=1]Quilted Classic! 1970 Ford Torino GT Cobra 429[/h]

By Todd Fitch Often we feature cars that present an honest, story-telling patina (the most overused automotive word of the past five years?) that some owners choose to preserve as part of the car’s unique history. Whether you appreciate patina or not, I hope we all agree that this 1970 Ford Torino GT Cobra definitely needs a paint job. Located in Celina, Ohio, this formerly fearsome Ford awaits a reserve-satisfying bid here on eBay.



image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1970-Torino-429-2-e1515282223347-630x397.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"397","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1970-Torino-429-2-e1515282223347-630x397.jpg"}[/IMG2] The patchwork quilt of replaced doors, hood, and trunk suggests either someone in the recent past planned to restore this car, or simply used their surplus of Torino parts to encourage a higher sale price. I tip my hat to the seller, who included many under-car pictures.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1970-Torino-429-3-e1515282253206-630x397.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"397","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1970-Torino-429-3-e1515282253206-630x397.jpg"}[/IMG2] The listing’s only engine compartment picture and suggests a lengthy hiatus since the this vehicle last propelled itself, and also minimal deviation from stock. The VIN decoder at grantorinosport.org, confirms that this true Torino GT Cobra left Ford in Lorain, Ohio with the 360 HP “N” Code “Thunder Jet” 429, one of three 429 engines available in 1970. Thanks to myclassicgarage.com for some details. Sadly the seller ran out of film before depicting interior and the rest of the engine compartment.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"395","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1970-Torino-429-4-e1515282299801-630x395.jpg"}[/IMG2] The deep dent in the left front fender suggests probable replacement on the path to Restorationland. Ten dollars says closing a bright light in the trunk at night creates a dazzling display of pinholes, a thousand little stars, each demanding to be extinguished before paint. The 1970 and 1971 Torinos are my favorites, especially with the hidden headlights. While I might lust for a four-speed instead of this car’s automatic, no doubt the 429 provides plenty of thrust with any transmission. Assuming the car’s resume checks out, what would you give for this quilted Cobra?

[h=1]Only 4,200 Miles! 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302[/h]

By Todd Fitch Mustang built the Boss 302 Mustang as a road-racer, but the high-strung 302 cid V8 made a potent drag-racing machine as well. This particular 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 went the latter route, accumulating a measly 4200 miles in 1320 foot increments as a weekend drag car promoting a local Ford dealer. Located in Mount Hope, West Virginia, this project car emerged after 30 years of mostly indoor storage looking for a new owner here on eBay. Simply click “Buy it Now” and it’s yours — for $36,000.



image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1970-Mustang-Boss-302-2-e1515378717125-630x395.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"395","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1970-Mustang-Boss-302-2-e1515378717125-630x395.jpg"}[/IMG2] When I owned a powder coating company, we coated nearly everything under the hood of my best customer’s ’70 Boss 302. Despite his intention to fix it up and thrash it, a series of comments that he “had to” restore it to museum quality eventually wore him down and it now sits in a heat-and-humidity-controlled trailer most of the time. I tell that story because maybe this one doesn’t need to be completely restored, at least not right away.

The Boss 302 featured heavy-duty springs, staggered rear shocks, and a beefy front sway bar. The front wheels look like original-type Magnum 500s and the rears wear the classic aftermarket Cragar S/S and fatter-than-stock meats. Thanks to blog.cjponyparts.com for some details.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"395","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1970-Mustang-Boss-302-4-e1515378776447-630x395.jpg"}[/IMG2] Here’s where the disappointment normally begins as we recount that the original Boss-specific motor is long-gone. But not today! This car’s engine not only comes with the car, it’s been completely rebuilt.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1970-Mustang-Boss-302-5-e1515381240248-630x400.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"400","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1970-Mustang-Boss-302-5-e1515381240248-630x400.jpg"}[/IMG2] The original Boss-specific cast exhaust manifolds are missing, so figure an additional $1000 or more for those. Ford rated the Cleveland-head-based Boss 302 as making 290 HP at 5,800 rpm and 290 lb-ft of torque, and those numbers are pure fiction. Factory racing Boss 302s made as much as 470 horsepower, and a www.mustangandfords.com dyno shootout yielded 374 HP at 6,700 RPM. Sometime before 6700, my 1989 Mustang’s 302 would probably explode in spectacular fashion. The seller’s excellent listing describes a car that may not be 100% complete, but certainly offers a better starting point than a typical rust-belt car that’s been picked over by scavengers. Any buyer will validate this car’s provenance. However, assuming it’s real, should it be refurbished and driven or immediately restored?

thats pricy considering you can buy matching #'s 302 boss for about 60 K
No one you rebuilding that for 25.
 
302 is still sensible.
the 429 is a different case.
they are demanding crazy money, the
new hot ticket in vintage cars.

By Jamie Palmer Unlike the recent “low mileage” car that so many commenters panned, this 1970 Boss 302 Mustang looks like it’s been well taken care of. Of course, the price goes along with the condition. It’s listed for auction here on eBay at no reserve, and bidding naturally is up over $35,000 already as I type. For once, I wouldn’t have any issues getting the family to come along with me to pick up a car, as it’s located right near Walt Disney World in Kissimmee, Florida.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/z2-630x354.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/z2-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] As the owner of a 2013 Boss 302 (which has a lot of 1970 model year retro cues), I would love to also own an original one. The seller tells us that the car is rust free, that it has the Marti report and may have as little as 58,000 miles on the odometer. The car has a shaker hood, a four speed transmission and is said to probably have it’s original engine, transmission and rear end. I thought the Marti report would give that kind of information, and if so, I wonder why the seller hasn’t made sure of it?

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/z3-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] The car spent seven years in a dry storage area, but fired up after only 20 minutes of preparation afterwords. I’m guessing someone must have either prepared the car properly and run the tank dry or used some fuel stabilizer, because I’ve had issues with gasoline going bad after only a few years.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/z4-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller tells us that the interior, chrome and glass are all “nice” and I’d have to agree from these pictures. I’d still want to make an in person inspection (or pay for one) prior to shelling out that kind of cash, but if the car is really what it looks like I suspect bidding will go up considerably before the end of the auction.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/z5-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] That’s a real shaker hood scoop as far as I can tell. Some of this looks a little too nice to just be uncovered, but perhaps I’m a little jaded from seeing so many cars that are claimed to be “survivors” but really aren’t. So we’ll hope that things are as they seem and that this car is as nice as it looks! If so, what do you think it will go for? And, to settle an argument, what’s your favorite color of Boss 302?

[h=1]Race Worthy Survivor: 1969 Camaro Z/28[/h]

By Garr Larson I can hear it, just as much as see it. You know the sound – from a block away your first thought is this car has the bass pumped up from a pair of JBL speakers, but as it rolls closer you realize it’s all natural muscle music, not hip hop, that’s creating the gut punching serenade. It’s that sound, and that fact that the 1969 Z28’s, like the one found here on eBay, were actually created to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am of the day that make them amazingly cool, and collectable.

They will, however, love just about everything else this barn find has to offer: correct rebuilt #618 4 bolt main engine block with the 302 Rotating assembly, original valve covers, two Holly 600 double pumpers, a Muncie M 21 4 speed with Hurst linkage, front to back Hooker headers, and they’ve updated with front disc brakes and boosters.

And since it’s been in stored in the California rust-free weather since the mid 1980’s, it’s a well preserved specimen from the year of Woodstock and the first Apollo moon landing. Personally, I like the Camaro interior just a bit more than it’s “pony” rival. Even with a yellow 1965 Mustang convertible in the garage, I’ve always secretly coveted the more muscular, brawny Z28’s that came out starting in late ’66. And since the 1969 is the last year of the Generation One, it’s even more my dream car.

Since this example is currently at over $32k, with the reserve not met, my budget requires a more labor intensive, rust removal and rebuild strategy in order to get a Z28 in the family. If your budget is more in the bid, buy, and drive range – you might want to make this beauty yours!

By David Frank This Jaguar is listed on eBay in Anderson, Indiana. Bidding is currently over $17,000 and the auction ends tomorrow, Wednesday. On the plus side, it is an XK, only has 36,000 miles and is complete and original. On the more practical side, it was parked 30 years ago because the water pump and front transmission seals are leaking, it is a Series 3 2+2 with an automatic transmission and a V12, and well, it’s a fat brown Jaguar. Josh wrote about a similar Jaguar last May here on Barn Finds. This one still has the engine in place and has an even less desirable automatic transmission, but otherwise, the circumstances appear similar. There’s little I can add to what Josh said and your comments were certainly interesting and still apply. So, I’ll go with “What Josh said”.

Where does one begin? Time has not been kind but rodents don’t seem to have joined the party. And then, of course, there’s the electrical system.

The winning bidder appears very serious about winning this Jag, but with all the work this car needs $17,000 seems like a lot of money to invest in this project. Will $20,000 be enough money to restore this XK to driver status? For $40,000 there are always driver quality examples like this one listed on eBay. The current high bidder seems serious. He has purchased a lot of Jaguar, Triumph and Mercedes parts and cars on eBay and has perfect feedback. Perhaps he has a restoration shop. Hopefully, this old Jag will be back on the road soon. It’s a less desirable version of a car many of us would love to own, but perhaps the only way any of us could afford to own an XK.

By Aaron Crabtree Check out this gold 1971 Plymouth Barracuda! This is a Copart auction, submitted by Barn Finds Reader Jamestown Mike, and the condition is just “normal wear”! Normal wear? I wish that normal wear on my cars looked this good! If you’ve been around Barn Finds for a while, or are a Mopar enthusiast, you know that the early Barracudas and Challengers go for a lot more money than the later ones do. But Copart estimates the retail value of this car at $68,700! Why? Let’s go figure it out. See this Barracuda here on Copart.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"473","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/b787476e-f358-42a0-858b-9753653a2b2c-630x473.jpg"}[/IMG2] This car is beautiful, if you like gold! It has been repainted and probably restored. Those hood vents are a giveaway that maybe something special is under the hood. 340 perhaps? If you check the VIN from the Copart page this comes up as a 318 V8 powered Barracuda. Well, so why is it currently bid up to $30,750?

That explains it! See that distributor tilted over to the passenger side of the engine? Is that a 426 Hemi stuffed under this hood? There is gold paint on the springs for the hood latch and the hinges so obviously this car has been repainted and isn’t original.

The body looks good and the chrome is mostly shiny. There is some residue in the plastic for the speedometer so maybe this car was in a flood? I can’t think of another reason that it is in a Copart auction. Can you?

I like these Old Beatles. My Dad owned 8 in a Row from a 56 (Bought new in 56), the last one was a 73 Super Beatle, the first year with the curved windshield and wheelbase being 3 inches longer, my Dad was 6'5", so an extra 3 inches was welcome.

By Jeff Lavery I would have loved to yanked open the garage door and seen this beautiful Beetle sitting inside. Said to wear original paint and show low mileage of just 60,000, this Super Beetle is located in or near Kansas City and selling for $9,450. While cheaper cars are out there, the difference in price between a project-grade Beetle and one like this is small enough to justify the added cost. Find it here on craigslist, or go here if the ad disappears.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"328","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/beetle-rear-e1515555384309-630x328.jpg"}[/IMG2] This 1972 model is a nice mix of both early and later generations. The smaller taillights and the chrome bumpers that sit a touch closer to the body are subtle differences that set it apart from the ’74 model year when the bumpers were pushed out a bit and the taillights got chunky. This one is completely original, says the seller, and is effectively a timewarp example of the highest trim Beetle available in 1972. The paint looks great, as do the polished hubcaps.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/beetle-interior-e1515555404889-630x351.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"351","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/beetle-interior-e1515555404889-630x351.jpg"}[/IMG2] The later Beetles began to feel a bit more modern inside, and I’ve always felt the dashboards lost some of their charm when they transitioned to the black plastic fascia. The older models, with their painted dashes and old-school radios, seemed to have more character to me. Regardless, VW worked hard to create more space without distorting the exterior appearance, and the Super Beetle was longer and wider than its predecessor, while still remaining unmistakable as the People’s Car.

It doesn’t necessarily add value, but anecdotes like those can at least help affirm how an economy car like this Beetle remained in such fine condition for so long. If this truly is a no-needs car, under $10K seems like a fair deal.

When was the last time you saw one of these at a Mustang show ?

[h=1]Special Vehicle Operations: 1986 Ford Mustang SVO[/h]
image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/svo-side-e1515539698896.jpg

By Andrew Tanner In 1986, the venerable Fox platform Mustang was in its 7th year of production, and Ford’s Special Vehicle Operations Department had done some reengineering on the Mustang. Produced from 1984 to 1986, the Ford Mustang SVO was one of the top-performing Mustangs available, as well as the most expensive. This example is a last year model, and has 41,000 actual miles according to the seller. In 1986, this was 1 of 3382 made making this a fairly rare bird. Find it here on Craigslist in South Carolina with a reasonable asking price of $8,000. Thanks to Pat L. for sending this one in!


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/svo-interior.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"450","width":"600","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/svo-interior.jpg"}[/IMG2] Though the driver’s area is a little worn, overall the interior is fully intact and in presentable condition. With a little cosmetic detailing and perhaps some minor repairs, this interior would be a looker! It may look rough for the miles, but I suspect someone used this car primarily for weekend use or some other kind of short trips, and thus it has wear consistent with regular use. The seller states that this car has leather, a sunroof, power windows, power locks, and a tilt wheel.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/svo-engine.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"450","width":"600","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/svo-engine.jpg"}[/IMG2] Under the hood is…wait a minute, that’s not a 302! The SVO wouldn’t have had a V8 either, not even a V6. While the SVO department was concerned with making a high-performance sports car, fuel economy was also a large concern. Thus, the engineers opted for the 2.3 liter Ford four cylinder most commonly found in Pintos and Mustang IIs. Unlike the original Pinto version, this 2.3 was updated, upgraded, and generally a stronger engine. Furthermore, it was turbocharged because after all, this was a performance car! This turbo four is hooked up to a 5-speed Borg-Warner T-5 manual transmission with a Hurst shifter.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"450","width":"600","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/svo-rear.jpg"}[/IMG2] Am I the only one who thinks the spoilers on the back are similar to those found on the Merkur XR4Ti? The design of the SVO was intended to look like the Mustang, without looking like the Mustang. This example is very clean, and for the price one would think it is a fair deal! Since these were low-production cars across all 3 years of production, it isn’t unreasonable to think that this will be a collectable car in the near future. If this unmolested original example is really as good as it seems, then it could be a great deal for a collector or enthusiast.

[h=1]Radical, Rare, and Rust Free: 1969 Rover 2000 TC[/h]

By Nathan Avots-Smith Vintage British cars generally trade on old-fashioned, old-world charm. Even the most competitive, up-to-date cars from Blighty in the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s carried a whiff of this character: dated styling, wood-and-leather furnishings, knock-off wheels, or some combination of the like. Not so Rover’s radical P6, however, sold between 1964 and 1977 (1966-1971 in the U.S.) as the 2000, 2000TC, 3500, and 3500S. This was a truly modern, advanced car for its time, and it carried no vestiges of tradition. This ’69 2000TC, a rare sight on these shores, carries an asking price of just $3,900, needing just some cosmetic attention to return to all of its radical glory; you can find it here on craigslist out of New Jersey (archived ad).


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Rover12-e1515724597422-630x421.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"421","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Rover12-e1515724597422-630x421.jpg"}[/IMG2] With its four-cylinder engine (a gas turbine was planned, but never made it into production), the 2000TC took a step downmarket from the preceding P4 and P5 six-cylinder cars; while still comprehensively equipped, it was less opulent, too, taking on instead a more sporting character with handling to match its lean, uncluttered looks. Although more conventional, in many ways the Rover was Britain’s answer to the Citroën DS, even taking inspiration from its novel monocoque construction with bolt-on quarter panels. Unlike the terminally underpowered Citroën, however, Rover eventually added displacement to the P6 in the form of the ex-Buick 3.5-liter V8 in the 3500 models.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Rover4-e1515725025636-630x420.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"420","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Rover4-e1515725025636-630x420.jpg"}[/IMG2] Even the 2000TC was no slouch, however, extracting a respectable 124 horsepower from two liters, aided by twin SU carburetors. This TC has been revived from long-term storage with a laundry list of maintenance and repairs, including rebuilt carburetors, a new radiator, and fuel and cooling system flushes. The car is said to run and steer “straight” and “tight.”

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Rover10-e1515725344242-630x421.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"421","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Rover10-e1515725344242-630x421.jpg"}[/IMG2] Rover put an unusual-for-the-era emphasis on safety in the P6, both active—handling was said to be superb—and passive, including what I’m fairly certain are the first factory-installed rear three-point safety belts in a U.S.-market car. Other clever features included the Icealert, which lit up a warning when the temperature on the road surface fell to a point that might lead to icy conditions, inboard-mounted rear disc brakes, and little indicators at the top of the front side lights to help the driver place the corners of the car.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Rover9-e1515726005607-630x421.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"421","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Rover9-e1515726005607-630x421.jpg"}[/IMG2] While the P6’s interior did feature wood trim, it was finished in a modish honey hue rather than traditional burl, and followed the curve of the windshield around the front of the cabin rather than forming an imposing slab of a dashboard. Though the seller touts that the carpet and headliner are in “GREAT CONDITION,” there are some areas of need in the interior, notably a cracked steering wheel rim, a rather lumpy looking dash pad, and multiple large tears in the passenger seat upholstery. Although we are assured that “all parts can be purchased and everything is available,” these won’t be easy to find.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Rover8-e1515726318259-630x421.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"421","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Rover8-e1515726318259-630x421.jpg"}[/IMG2] Therein lies the rub, and the one area where Rover couldn’t shake British car stereotypes; the P6 was horribly unreliable, and the American dealer network unable to cope. In an owners’ survey published in their November, 1970 issue, Road & Track found that the 2000TC had more problem areas, and a lower percentage of owners willing to buy another Rover, than any other car they had surveyed before. Still, this is a solid, rust-free example, needing only paint, interior work, and some sorting; after nearly 50 years many of those problem areas will have been worked out, won’t they? I guess that’s the other way the Rover 2000TC is every bit a traditional British car: a healthy dose of blind optimism is needed to buy one!

But if they have the itch to buy another one, this 1971 example may be worth looking at. Still wearing its vintage California blue plates and looking pleasingly scruffy, you can find it here on craigslist for just $3,995, or go here if the ad disappears.


image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/mgb-rear-e1515815343180-630x326.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"326","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mgb-rear-e1515815343180-630x326.jpg"}[/IMG2] Under $4K seems like a very fair deal for BGT, especially one that doesn’t appear rusty or modified with Minilites. I can’t remember the last time I saw a gently weathered MGB, as most of the cars I seen owned by enthusiasts are already over-restored. That’s why I so much enjoy riding along in my buddy’s MGB roadster that he inherited from his father-in-law: it’s a survivor like this one, and a car you’re not afraid to actually drive places. As an earlier car, this one retains the far prettier slim chrome bumpers.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/mgb-interior-e1515815360415-630x336.jpg
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"336","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mgb-interior-e1515815360415-630x336.jpg"}[/IMG2] The BGT interior provided a nice alternative to the roadster, with more storage space and lots of glass to preserve the light, airy feel of the open roof model. The hatch-style rear made the MGB slightly more practical, too, as you could chuck more than one overnight bag in the trunk area. This car presents exceptionally well for an original example, with just one errant seam split that I can see from the craigslist photos as a reason to ding it. With those gauges and that steering wheel, it looks like a mini E-Type cockpit.

image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/mgb-motor-e1515815377193-630x320.jpg

It does look tidy underhood, but we have no sense of what, if any, mechanical issues it has. Plan to do cooling system and ignition parts first, then move onto the likely tired suspension. MGBs are great starter classics, but I like the idea of getting into a something a little more special, like an MGB GT. This one looks solid in photos, and the price already seem more than fair.

At the same time they tell a story about the late owner, and present an opportunity for his or her legacy to take flight in the hands of optimistic new caretakers. This large estate sale offers many possibilities for automotive enthusiasts within striking distance of Queen Creek, Arizona. This 1968 Camaro RS is described as a television-auction-quality restomod with 350 V8, newer 700R4 overdrive automatic, and more. View full details at EstateSales.NET.

The new owner may give this 1937 Buick 90L a second life or use its parts to benefit another one. This generation of Buick makes an elegant ride in any body style, with the elongated nose seemingly half the car’s length. Beautiful!

This 1974 Land Rover may well end up exploring Moab, Utah or other interesting off-road playgrounds.

Other vehicles include a 1954 Chevrolet truck, 2000 Cadillac DTS, 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle, 1983 Chevy El Camino, a K-Car-based Dodge 600 convertible, a Pace Arrow RV, and a host of tools and other interesting items.

You see, this SS396 is a 375 horsepower barn find that is ready to hit the street. It’s an L78 car that has already had all the work done to make it a reliable driver. If you’ve been on the hunt for a real deal SS396, this one appears to fit the bill! You can find it here on eBay in Pickerington, Ohio with a BIN of $95k and the option to make an offer.

Concourse level L78 Chevelles can fetch over $100k, but I think the seller’s asking might be a tad high for this one. Completely original cars can fetch crazy money these days, but this one isn’t a perfectly original car. Besides having been repainted a number of years ago, the original engine was replaced under warranty. It’s the right engine for this car and is to L78 specs, but it isn’t the engine this car left the factory with. If you are planning on driving it the way it was meant to be driven, it really isn’t an issue, but those looking to buy it as a long term investment might want to take that into account when they make an offer.

The odometer is showing 95,516 miles, so if the interior is all original it was well cared for. You don’t see many SS cars with a bench seat and a column shifter, but I’m not sure if that adds or hurts value. Thoughts?

This one is in nice condition and appears to be between #1 and #2 condition, so their asking isn’t too far off. It will boil down to what they are willing to accept and how badly you want a Chevelle SS396!

Looks like an Ambitious Project

[h=1]Piles Of Parts: 1966 Mustang Coupe[/h] image: https://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Josh-Mortensen_avatar_1510763928-32x32.jpg

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"354","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Pile-Of-Mustang-Parts-630x354.jpg"}[/IMG2] The seller’s choice for the first photo in their ad seems rather strange, as it’s just a pile of parts. There’s actually a lot more here than just a random pile of Mustang parts. The auction, here on eBay in Henderson, Maryland, includes everything to build a complete car. The seller claims to have found this Mustang parked in a barn in 2005, bought it, pulled it apart for restoration and then never got it put back together. It’s a bit of a mess, but this could be a great project if you aren’t scared of piecing the car back together.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"353","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1966-Mustang-Project-630x353.jpg"}[/IMG2] After getting the car pulled apart, the seller had the body soda blasted and primed, but that’s about as far as they made it. It looks like there’s been some rust repairs made and still more to be repaired. The cowl is said to be rusted out and has already been removed. While it looks like there are lots of spare parts included, there’s no word on whether a replacement cowl is included.

[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"353","width":"630","src":"https:\/\/barnfinds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Ford-302-V8-630x353.jpg"}[/IMG2] This car started life with an inline six, but the seller was going to install a 302 V8 in it. The car comes with the original 200 cui inline six, as well as the 302 V8 the seller found for it. The V8 is said to have less than 500 miles on it since being rebuilt and that it came out of a 1971 Mustang.

With the 302 installed, it would be a blast and you have infinite customization options. So would you put this pile of parts together or is it just a parts donor at this point?

At first glance I thought it just a Capri, but after a closer look I couldn’t believe it… A 1981 Capri RS Turbo! Thinking of going back and talking to the owner.


The Capri RS was basically a Mercury version of the turbo-charged foxbody Mustang. It was an impressive machine when new and is a rare sight today. Thanks for sharing it with us Kyle and please let us know if you have any lucking getting a hold of the owner. Happy hunting guys!
