n the sea of supercars during the 90’s, McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, Jaguar XJ220, one name stood out, Lamborghini. The Diablo was the benchmark of supercars. With almost 500 hp it could well exceed 200mph. Pioneered in the early 90’s, ”VT” stands for Viscous Traction, the name of Lamborghini’s all-wheel drive system, which automatically engages the front wheels if and when the rears spin making the Diablo manageable on twisty roads at high speed.

This example is presented in a bold color combination of Fly yellow over black. The leather interior is trimmed with matching yellow piping and the gated shifter has a special hand stitched leather knob. Within the last 400 miles, this car recently had over $35,000 spent on mechanical repairs and service,

ost people may be familiar with Lamborghini’s logo; the “Fighting Bull”. However, another little known fact is that Lamborghini has had a tradition of naming its cars after stars from the world of bullfighting. The “Murcielago” is named after a fighting bull that survived a record 24 sword strokes back in 1879 and survived in the process.

The brutal Murcielago was introduced in 2001 and was the successor to the Diablo. It is an all-wheel drive, V12 mid-engined super sports car boasting over 570 horsepower. With its clean angular aero design and an exceptionally low slung body, the Murcielago could dip past the 200 mile per hour mark comfortably and safely.

This Italian beauty is finished in Pearl Orange with black leather and matching orange stitching throughout the interior. The interior has power sport seats, traditional scissor opening doors and electrically opening rear air intakes. The

wheels are painted black and ad a sinister look to this supercar. The six speed transmission shifts crisply through the gears and the 570 Hp V12 pulls endlessly down the straights.

This unusual exotic runs and drives excellent producing amazing sights and sounds. To quote William Shakespeare, “Sweet ‘Murci’ is nobility’s true badge”.

n 2005 the last of the more reliable Ferrari 360’s rolled off the showroom floors. The car was replaced by the similar looking F430. From a distance, they appeared almost alike, but the difference was only skin deep, under the rear deck, and chassis, the F 430 was a far more complex car.

This Ferrari 360 Spider F1 features the paddle-shifting gearbox and has covered a little over 13,000 miles.

Equipped with power windows, 4-wheel disc brakes and an Alpine stereo, the car comes with two keys with re-

I

n 1963 Chevrolet introduced the all new Stingray Corvette. It was the first the American production car with independent rear suspension. The new body was lower, narrower and shorter than the previous generation. Their sleekness was indisputable. The famous “Split-window” design and the use of the Sting Ray name left an indelible mark in American Automotive history. Although Larry Shinoda penned the production ’63 Split window Corvette, the real credit for the design goes to Peter Brock (Shelby Daytona Coupe fame), which started out as a styling exercise initiated by Bill Mitchell himself which later resulted in building the original 1959 prototype, the “Stingray Racer XP-87”.

This Corvette has undergone an extensive and thorough nut and bolt body off restoration.

Nothing was left to chance; all parts are original to the car or NOS. The exterior is perfectly finished in Ermine White with a dark blue contrasting interior. All

the chrome and stainless trim has either been replated or polished to a high shine. This car is nicely optioned with the stepped-up L75-300hp/327cid, optional Powerglide automatic transmission, power windows, power steering, power brakes, seat belts and rarely ordered air conditioning. The 1963 Corvette is famous and desired for its split window design. This is probably one of the finest Stingray examples available on the market today and would surely make any NCRS judge smile.

istorically Ferrari has produced some of the most stunning Grand Touring cars dating back to the 50’s – 60’s; 250 GT/ PF, 250 GTE, 330 GT, 365 GT 2+2 and the predecessor to the 400 GT, the 365 GT4 2+2. In 1976 and still using 6 Webers, the 400 GT was the first Ferrari to offer an optional automatic transmission. By 1979 the 400GT “I” (for fuel injection) was introduced and during the 6 year production run approximately 422 cars out of some 1300 were delivered with 5 spd manual transmissions. This stylish front engine, V12, 5spd, GT four seater models are now in high demand among Ferrari collectors.

Often billed as the “Gentleman’s Sedan”, The Ferrari 400GT styled by Pininfarina, is a debonair 2 + 2 coupe that certainly has all the right credentials.

ntroduced in 1931, the 170 was the entry level of Mercedes-Benz production cars, and sold moderately well during the turbulent years of the mid-1930’s.

Although, no Mercedes was ever inexpensive, the 170 series cars fell in the category of compact and economical, yet still constructed to Mercedes-Benz’s traditionally high standard. They had a small 1.6 litre 4 cyl coupled to a three-speed manual gearbox equipped with an optional overdrive.

This prewar classic wears an older restoration that has held up well. This car is refinished in its original color of grey with blue leather and dark blue fabric soft top.

I

n 1955, Max Hoffman convinced Mercedes Benz to build an entry level sports car based on the pricey 300 SL Gullwing Coupe for the US market. It was an immediate success with celebrities and car connoisseurs alike scurrying to own one. For a short time, the W121, known by its internal designation, even made its mark in racing. During 1956, a 190SL was driven to victory at the rainy Macao Grand Prix, and in Casablanca that same year.

In later years some 190 SL’s had accumulated wins in the under 2.0-litre class in other parts of Europe. For the more reserved car enthusiast, the versatile little 1959 Mercedes 190 SL now in its

4th year of production became a more refined alternative to the temperamental Porsche 356 and an affordable alternative to the pricy 300 SL roadster.

As offered, this 190SL is handsomely finished in “Feurrot” (Red) with tastefully contrasting “Schwartz” (Black) interior and proper German square-weave carpeting. The factory removable hard top, convertible cloth soft top and the vinyl boot cover are also in “Schwartz” which gives the car a nice Teutonic whereness about it. It has been restored to be factory stock throughout right down to the radio delete

plate. Also during the restoration process, necessary mechanicals were performed and the original engine was rebuilt to factory specification retaining the correct Solex carburetors which idle and a steady 800 rpms. This sharp “Three-pointed” star is serviced and ready for hours of road going enjoyment. All said, this simple little 190 SL still remains a class favorite.

Mercedes pioneered crumple zones and this design was now being marketed across all Mercedes Benz models. The new two seat roadster was billed as one of the world’s safest sports cars with ergonomically correct seating design and collapsible steering column. The early 4 spd 230 SL cars produced a respectable 150 hp and could be ordered with the optional automatic transmission.

1975 MGB ROADSTER V8 CONVERSION “KILLER B” Auction Estimate $45,0 0 0 - $65,0 0 0

• Amazing V8 Conversion • 215 Aluminum Buick V8, 5 Speed Transmission • Detailed Restoration • Flawless Inside and Out • 15” Chrome Wire Wheels

T

he MGB was originally launched in 1962 and can be described as the world's most successful sports car with over half a million examples being produced through 1980. For 1975, the MGB Roadster returned with some minor cosmetic changes. The sporty GT hatchback version was discontinued for the US market, but was still rolling off the assembly line in Abingdon, England. New style front and rear rubber bumpers with a higher ride height were implemented to comply with tougher US bumper impact restrictions. In addition, to offset the ride height, and stabilize driving characteristics, the factory added a rear sway bar. The reliable 1800 CC engine was retained but performance was restricted with the addition of more pollution equipment and a signal carburetor. Which brings us the this special MGB Roadster, affectionately nicknamed “Killer B” - Killer, of course referring the modified driveline. In 1975, one could order a MGB or its GT coupe counterpart with a factory 3.5 liter, 135 hp all aluminum V8. This option was available in the UK only and changed the driving and performance dynamics of the little car dramatically.

This stunning black MGB Roadster has been modified with

AMELIA ISLAND SELECT 2017

a Buick 215 cid (3.5 litre) V8, utilizing all factory production components. The engine has been bored, the compression has been increased and the heads and intake ported. Other mechanical upgrades include a 5-speed transmission, MGC (Factory 6 cylinder) higher gear ratio axle and chrome Dayton 15” wire wheels.

To improve road ability, the factory lever style shocks have been replaced with conventional shock absorber, aftermarket Addco front and rear sway bars were added and cross-drilled rotors have been retrofitted. The feel and performance is perky and crisp, very similar to that of an original V8 Sunbeam Tiger or that of a SP 250 Daimler. Nothing spells fun and excitement more that an open sports car with power and superb handling. This MGB Roadster has it all.

oxer is the term given to any horizontally opposed or flat cylinders engines, hence the name Berlinetta “Boxer”. The early Ferrari BB512’s used a mid-mounted 5 litre carbureted flat-12 Cylinder engine, hence the 512 moniker. Somewhere around 930 BB’s were built between 1976 -1981. The 512 badge was resurrected to bare homage to the legendary TR 512 race cars of the 50’s. With the engine immediately behind the cabin there is an unusually intimate connection between the driver and machine. The rear track was widened compared to the early 365 Boxers to improve handling and stability. These were considered supercars in their day and targeted directly at the Lamborghini Countach.

Outside of one meticulous repaint and reupholstered leather seats, this Berlinetta 512 is all

ateline 2003: Detroit, Michigan USA: Out in front of the Glass House at the 100th anniversary of Ford Motor Company, the successor to the victorious and multiple Le Mans winning Ford GT40 was unveiled. The GT’s design paid homage to the iconic car whose period silhouette, mimicked virtually every contour, line and detail of the original GT40 MKV racecar. Modern technology is incorporated in the underpinnings beneath the retro bodywork and the state of the art suspension with an All- American 550 hp 5.4-litre V8, able to attain supersonic speeds. In keeping with the GT’s legacy of besting Ferrari, America’s new supercar is just that.

With an attainable top speed of over 200 mph and incredible stopping power, it really was a Ford that could run against Europe’s best.

Finished in the iconic color of Mark IV Red and charcoal grey, it is specked with all four available factory options: dual racing stripes (white), forged aluminum GT wheels, paint-

n 1949, Jaguar’s brilliant XK120 had two distinct momentous impacts on the motoring world, one as the most influential sports car design and the second, as being the first new sports car produced after World War II. It was fast; it could stop and had great handling. The XK Jaguar derived it model designation number of “120” as a result of its record setting top speed - 120 mph. For a car of that era, that performance that remains impressive even by today’s standards.

This Jaguar has under gone a detailed mechanical and cosmetic restoration and is a wonderful example that is presented here in near Concours condition. Every system is either new or rebuilt. The exterior has been repainted to a cream finish and is offset with brown leather hides and beautifully finished Burl wood dash and wood steering wheel with complimenting square weave tan carpets.

n 1952, GM introduced the Cadillac Eldorado Golden Anniversary concept car as one of the many show cars built to demonstrate GMs prowess in automotive styling and design. The car was a smash hit, labeled as a dream car and prompted Cadillac to put it into production as a halo car for the premium-brand manufacturer. The massive windshield had a roadster look, and the beltline of the Eldorado was lower than other Cadillacs; using a 126-inch wheelbase, the car appeared impossibly long. Dripping with chrome and amenities, it was one of the most opulent cars ever produced.

Oldsmobile and Buick also placed into production the 98 Fiesta and Roadmaster Skylark while the Corvette’s debut created GM’s quartet of limited-production 1953 Motorama dream cars. The average cost of a home in the United States approached $10,000, and the Eldorado was close at about $8,000, roughly $70,000 in 2015 dollars. The Eldorado Convertible was replete with every luxury Cadillac could install, spoiling passengers with the utmost in technology

n 1950, 20-year-old Leo Lyons had a dream of building a custom car unlike any other – he would scratch-build it from the ground up. Over the next few years Leo became acquainted with some of the legends of Southern California speed and custom such as Ed Iskenderian and both George and Sam Barris who would help and inspire his design. But before he began, he needed one more group on board – Ford Motor Company.

Leo’s initial plans called for building 10 identical custom cars and he was going to build each with brand new parts – and then heavily modify these parts. The chassis and body panels were purchased new from Ford. With the first set of panels on hand, Leo set to work learning how to weld and shape metal under the guidance of Sam Barris. A few parts needed to be custom built, so Leo called on the legendary

AMELIA ISLAND SELECT 2017

metal-shaping firm “California Metal Shaping” to custom design and build the doors, hood, and top.

Leo Lyons, now 30 years old, debuted his car – The Leo Lyons Custom Merc – across Southern California Custom Car shows nearly a full 10 years after he started. Each time, he was recognized with awards and the moniker the “UltraModern Merc.” This car is the most radically customized ’4951 Custom Mercury built in-period, and has been recognized as the last significant Custom Mercury built in the ‘50s.

In early 1960, it was featured on the cover of Trend Inc.’s “Custom Cars” magazine, along with a feature article. In Trend Inc.’s 1961 Custom Cars Annual, it was again recognized as one of the most significant custom Merc’s built to date with a two page feature article inside.
