If classic cars are your thing, here are two models that really can’t go unnoticed, not necessarily because they’re both barn finds, but thanks to the fact they’re in a condition allowing for a thorough restoration.

First of all, listed for sale by Classic Auto Mall, this 1956 Ford we highlighted earlier this week comes with an obvious amount of rust, which makes sense for a car this old, especially because it likely spent some time abandoned in the barn where it was found. Unfortunately, we’re not being provided with any specifics regarding this location, though at first glance, it looks like it wasn’t necessarily the worst place to park a car.
It certainly wasn’t the best either, as rust has invaded the door panels, the rocker panels, as well as the fenders and the chrome parts. The original colors, Raven Black and Fiesta Red, can barely be seen right now, but judging from the pics in the gallery, there’s nothing a thorough restoration can’t deal with.

Originally equipped with a 4.5-liter engine developing 219 horsepower in North America, the 928 has received several notable upgrades throughout its lifetime, included a quick switch from mechanical to electronic fuel injection in the United States only three years after its unveiling.
The 1982 Porsche 928 that you see here is believed to be one of the few all-original examples still alive these days, coming in a surprising condition despite sitting in storage for approximately 20 years.
According to the owner of the car, who is now trying to sell the Porsche on eBay, this 928 has been off the road since 2001 and has never been hit, though it does come with a few scratches “

Listed on eBay by seller best-auto-deal as a barn find, this is obviously a project car, so you won’t just hop in and drive it. On the other hand, we don’t even know if it’s starting, as the Charger has been sleeping for some 16 years without moving a single inch.
In fact, the seller even explains there is “
no guarantee of running condition,” especially because the car has been sitting for so long.
The 400ci (6.5-liter) big-block engine, however, is still there, and according to the odometer, it’s been used for 58,000 miles (93,341 km). We’re being told this is the “actual” mileage, and there’s a chance this is indeed accurate since the car has been in storage for nearly two decades.
