Barn Find Ford Fairlane drop top

Hardly any info was supplied about this 1969 Fairlane that was for sale recently. It was advertised as the proverbial “barn find” (an absurdly overused catch phrase in today’s collector car market) Not exactly a super rare find, but it does appear to have been in storage for a few decades.

This is one of those I-Spy games. Can you find the muscle car hidden in these pictures? I’m told this twisted mass of rusted metal is a ’67 Corvette. A 427 cid big block no less. But unless you’ve got a sharp eye for Corvettes you wouldn’t know it. Read the rest of this entry »

1968-cougar-390-2vMercury Cougar Factory Show Car

This cat has a lot going for it. Not only does it sport the highly desirable 390GT 4 bbl engine, but it’s also a factory show car. The Marti report lists it as an ‘INTRODUCTORY SHOW UNIT’, which is a Special Order for the Ford Home Office Reserve District (DSO 84). Read the rest of this entry »

The Cougar Eliminator has become a hot collectible muscle car. Only made in 1969 & 1970, these Eliminator Cougars had both looks and power to back up the name. For 1969 the Eliminator exterior package included one of 4 special paint colors, blacked out grille, driver’s side “racing style” mirror, front and rear spoilers, hood scoop, styled steel wheels, rocker trim and body stripes with “ELIMINATOR” text.

1970 Barracuda Automatic1970 Plymouth Barracuda 318 cid

This probably was once a pretty nice ’70 Barracuda. Unfortunately it’s been scavenged for parts and left out to collect snow for years, so there’s not much left to work with. It’s missing the doors, all glass, interior, front clip, hood, trunk lid and rear axle. Read the rest of this entry »

1967 Fastback – Eleanor?!?!?

If I see one more person call their project Mustang an “Eleanor” I’m going to lose my head. C’mon people! “Gone in 60 Seconds” came out almost a dozen years ago. Not every freakin’ Mustang fastback is an Eleanor in the making! Read the rest of this entry »

You can tell this ’69 Charger has been sitting for years because of the trees growing around it. Those saplings have definitely sprouted up since the car was parked in this back lot. It looks like this Charger has a few other Dodge brothers keeping it company. They were probably all “going to be restored” at some point, but now just sit and rust.

1955-thunderbird-fire1955 Ford Thunderbird Charbroiled

There’s not much chance of bringing this Tbird back from it’s fiery grave. The storage shed is sat in for years went up in flames with the rest of the house and that’s all she wrote for this old Ford. Too bad. It’s getting harder to find a decent classic T-bird for sale and it sounds like this one was in good shape before it got BBQ’ed. Insurance probably cut a nice fat check, but it’s not going to get this Thunderbird back on the road. Read the rest of this entry »

Now this would make a sweet project. It’s a documented ’69 Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car. This Z-11 convertible has the proper trim tag and VIN as well as the original protect-a-plate from when the car was first sold in March of 1970. Read the rest of this entry »
