1965 FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK “ELEANOR” TEST CAR

BUILT BY TOTAL CONTROL PRODUCTS AND USED TO TRAIN ACTORS FOR THE MOVIE “GONE IN 60 SECONDS” This 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback was originally built on July 22, 1965 at the San Jose, California, assembly plant, where it was equipped with the A-code 289/225 HP 4V engine and 4-speed manual transmission. In the late 1990s, its then-owner took it to Terry Buch, owner of Total Control Products, to prepare the car with specialized suspension components and other modifications for on-track competition. The completed car attracted the attention of Cinema Vehicle Services president Ray Claridge, who was preparing special stunt cars for the upcoming remake of “Gone in 60 Seconds” using custom steering and suspension components from TPC.

Claridge decided that the TPC/Buch-modified ’65 would be suitable to train the actors, as it provided virtually the same handling as would be possessed by the soon-to-be completed 1967 Mustang “Eleanor” movie cars. The ’65 was transported under secrecy to the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in Phoenix, Arizona, where Bondurant and School instructor Mike McGovern used it to train Nicolas Cage and the stunt drivers. Featured in the April 2000 issue of Mustang Illustrated magazine under the title “Testbed Terror,” the car retains the original build components, including its TPC-modified steering, suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes. A 302 CI V-8

F204

with aluminum heads and many upgrades was teamed with a Tremec 5-speed and Currie rear end with Detroit Tru-Trac differential and 3.89 gears.

The car was recently repainted in Black with Flat Black Shelby GT350 stripes and is fitted inside with a GT350 roll bar, wood-rimmed Cobra steering wheel, Hurst T-handle shifter, custom highbolstered seats, Cobra-emblem carpets and Shelby badging. Extensively documented and beautifully finished and prepared, this car is a crucial part of Mustang history and the movie that made the “Eleanor” Mustangs famous around the world.

1970 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T

V-CODE 440 SIX PACK V-8, 4-SPEED, RARE SUPER TRACK PACK DANA 60 REAR END Restored in the early 2000s, this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T coupe has been cared for by the same owner since 2003. Other pony cars had big block power, but few packed the wallop of this example’s 440 Six Pack engine, which uses three Holley 2-barrel carburetors and free-breathing top end to generate its factory rating of 390 HP. The matching numbers V-code 440 Six Pack engine is matched with a Hurst Pistol Grip-shifted 4-speed manual transmission and a rare A34 Super Track Pack Dana 60 rear end for one of the most durable drivetrains offered in that era, while power steering and brakes help aid maneuverability. Its Plum Crazy paint, Black vinyl roof, Black bucket seat

F205

interior with Rallye gauge cluster, 15x7-inch Rallye road wheels, hood pins and chrome racing mirror put this car visually in the category of Mopar icon.

Of the many Mopar muscle cars that were part of the first muscle car era, this one will definitely attract more than its share of attention.

1958 MERCEDES-BENZ 190SL ROADSTER

1.9L SOHC FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE, 4-SPEED, AUXILIARY HARDTOP Mercedes-Benz had already long since established its reputation for the finest motorcars when in 1954 the company released its first highvolume series production roadster, the 190SL. The success of the 190SL set the stage for a dominance of this market segment that continues today.

Key styling touches were derived from the other contemporary Sport Leicht (Sports Lightweight) model, the iconic 300SL “Gullwing” coupe. Also like its exotic stable mate, nimble handling came from double wishbones and coil springs in front and a swing axle rear. While the über-expensive 300SL received a delicate space frame, the 190SL was built on a shortened version of the firm’s 180

sedan platform. The 300SL’s unproven and costly Bosch fuel injection would have frightened away customers valuing cost-effective performance, so two trusty dual choke Solex carburetors fed the 190SL’s 1.9-liter single overhead cam 4-cylinder engine. The nicely shifting 4-speed manual transmission sent the 120 gross horsepower to the rear wheels. Given the 190SL’s svelte 2,515 pounds, it had the performance to run door-todoor against cars boasting engines with more cylinders and greater displacement. The sum of its refined parts inspired Road & Track to write in 1956, “The car is at its best at high speeds, one of the easiest cars to cruise at 80-plus MPH we have

F206 ever encountered.” The 1958 example offered for auction has been restored to a high standard.

The Feuerwehrrot (Fire Engine Red) paint, brightwork trim and optional removable hardtop are in stunning condition. Inside, the car’s Schwarz (Black) seats contrast beautifully with the bodycolored dash, providing the passengers with an elegant and comfortable space for long-distance driving. Though occupants will never tire of the beautiful sound emanating from the car’s new stainless steel exhaust, the original Becker radio is still equipped.

FROM THE RICHARD BERRY COLLECTION

2003 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 AAT CONVERSION

AAT 1953-2003 COMMEMORATIVE EDITION CONVERSION, PURCHASED NEW BY RICHARD BERRY Advanced Automotive Technologies of Rochester Hills, Michigan, has become well known within the Corvette community for its 1953 -2003 Commemorative Edition conversions for C5 Corvettes designed by AAT founder Steve Pasteiner. A graduate of Art Center College of Design, Steve spent 22 years with General Motors Design staff, eventually becoming the Assistant Chief Designer for Buick 2 studios and later Chevrolet 1, before leaving to establish Advanced Automotive Technologies. The Commemorative Edition Corvette blends the classic ‘50s-era styling of the 1953 Corvette with the performance, comfort, and technology of C5 convertibles and

fixed-roof coupes, using meticulously engineered and crafted replacement body panels. A significant bonus is that the modifications can be applied to the C5 Z06, making examples such as this 2003 convertible the “supercar” of retro conversions.

Offered from Richard Berry’s private collection, its Electron Blue paint and custom interior are a bold departure from the classic combination of Polo White with Red. Colorado Custom billet aluminum knockoff wheels with low profile Yokohama radials are just right for both the look and the underlying Z06’s sensational handling, which takes advantage of special shock tuning and excellent disc brakes right from the factory. The

F207

Black interior mixes carbon fiber-look accents with custom instrument bezels and tasteful Silver leather trim for a highly individualized look. Best of all, there is the full contingent of high performance Z06 features beneath that show-winning exterior, most significantly the Z06-specific all-aluminum LS6 engine that completes the marriage of classic styling with modern performance.

1957 DODGE CORONET HARDTOP

DUAL QUAD 325 CI D500 HEMI V-8 WITH PUSHBUTTON AUTOMATIC Virgil Exner’s “Forward Look” styling rescued Dodge from its reputation for stodgy-looking vehicles thanks to designs such as this 1957 Coronet 2-door hardtop. With its dramatic front grille treatment, sleek finned silhouette and gracefully curved windshield, the Dodge Coronet was a clear styling success, and Chrysler’s D500 Hemi engine endowed it with outstanding power.

Comprehensively restored to pristine condition and finished in the original two-tone pairing of Gallant Gold and Glacier White paint, the car’s interior was refinished in NOS Chrysler fabric in the original Gold with Gold-flecked Black inserts, a tribute to Exner’s ornate design. Purchased nine

F207.1

years ago by the current owner from a museum that was closing its doors, the car’s matching numbers dual quad D500 325 CI Hemi engine was rebuilt by a retired Chrysler Hemi engineer and is controlled by a pushbutton Torqueflite automatic transmission. This immaculate Hemi Coronet has won multiple 1st place show awards and in 2009 earned 2nd Place honors from the Antique Automobile Club of America. The original owner’s manual, sales book and brochures are included.

1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE SPLIT WINDOW COUPE RESTO MOD ALL ALUMINUM 454/510 HP BIG BLOCK V-8, RICHMOND 6-SPEED, VINTAGE AIR CONDITIONING The purists might gaze upon this outlandish Resto Modded 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe that was born a Tuxedo Black Fuelie with Saddle interior and ask “why,” but to those who can see its potential as a high-velocity, no-holdsbarred thrill machine, the answer can only be a resounding “why not!” This car has a long history of magazine and TV coverage and is seen regularly at car shows and in the Hot Rod Power Tour, for reasons that are obvious; chief among them is its ground-pounding attitude buttressed by its extravolume Stinger style hood bulge and the gigantic street slicks threatening to burst from its rear wheel wells. Both features are necessitated by the

F208

all-aluminum GM Ram Jet ZL1 Limited Edition engine, a 454/510 HP behemoth that is one of only 200 made. Backed by a Richmond Gear 6-speed manual transmission and a Ford rear end, the ZL1 delivers an impressive 510 HP while returning a thrifty 23 MPG average fuel consumption. In quieter moments, the car’s gorgeous Al Knoch Tan interior coddles occupants with tunes from its vintage AM radio and cool breezes from its Vintage Air climate control system. The magazine coverage includes a photo spread in the 27th Annual Hot Rod Show World, an April 1987 Car Craft feature article and a Super Chevy magazine cover appearance in the July 1986 issue.

1969 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

TRI-POWER 427/400 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, EARLY PRODUCTION PILOT CAR SERIAL NO. 007 In its second year of production the C3 Corvette received numerous subtle but important changes meant to address concerns raised over the 1968 model year by both customers and the automotive press. The most obvious exterior changes were the return of the Stingray body script, new door handles, integrated backup lights and wider wheels and tires for improved handling. Interior changes were more significant; Chief Engineer Duntov had extensive retooling done for the door panels to add more room for occupants, the steering wheel was reduced one inch in diameter, a threesection map pocket was added to compensate for the lack of a glovebox, the ignition switch was

relocated from the dash to the steering column where it was integrated with a column lock and a headlight warning light was added to alert the driver that they had not opened completely. These and other changes are all found in this rare early pilot production car, serial number 0007, which was built on August 22, 1968 and is the earliest 1969 production Corvette seen by noted expert and author Rick Bizzoco, who wrote The 1969 Corvette Guide Book. One of the earliest known Corvettes produced with factory side exhaust, this Red-on-Red beauty sports a White soft top and rides on Rally wheels fitted with optional Redline tires. The matching numbers L68 427/400 HP

F209 Tri-Power big block dishes the power to a 4-speed manual transmission. The original side pipes were removed during the restoration, however they will be included as well as the Positraction warning tag.

1958 BMW ISETTA 300

AIR COOLED 298CC ONE CYLINDER ENGINE, BODY-OFF RESTORATION COMPLETED IN 2013 The Isetta, meaning “Little Iso,” was first manufactured by the Italian firm Iso. They later sold the name and manufacturing rights to BMW, who were struggling to return to viability after losing three plants behind the Iron Curtain and suffering under punitive sanctions imposed by the Allies. BMW began selling the Isetta in 1955; postwar austerity ensured demand for the little machine, as did ongoing gas shortages caused by the Suez Canal Crisis the following year. The return of prosperity rendered the Isetta and most other

microcars largely redundant; production ended in 1962, but today the popularity of these cars has exploded, and examples such as this 300-series Isetta are in high demand. A body-off restoration completed in 2013, the car is powered by BMW’s air-cooled 298cc single-cylinder engine with a 4-speed manual transmission, producing 13 HP that can zip it from 0-30 MPH in just 11 seconds.

Finished in PPG Red and White base coat/clear coat, it has a period-correct Plaid interior with a heater and canvas top, and sports chromed front

F210 and rear bumpers and White painted wheels with chromed hub caps.

1971 CHEVROLET CORVETTE LS6 CONVERTIBLE

LS6 454/435 HP V-8 WITH ALUMINUM HEADS, RARE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION After increasing big block V-8 displacement across the board to 454 CI, in 1971 Corvette received a boost with the introduction of the LS6 454/425 HP engine, a detuned version of the LS7 460 HP engine planned for 1970 and cancelled at the last minute. The LS6 was a serious powerplant, employing forged internals, a special camshaft, aluminum intake with Holley 800 CFM 4-barrel and open chamber aluminum heads. A total of 188 LS6 Corvettes were produced; it is believed that only 24 were convertibles and just seven were equipped with the heavy duty M40 3-speed automatic transmission. This knockout LS6 convertible was professionally restored without

F211

regard for expense and completed in 2013 by a renowned Corvette restoration firm. Refinished in the original color scheme of War Bonnet Yellow with a Saddle Custom leather interior, it retains original body panels and features a Black soft top and Black vinyl-covered auxiliary hardtop. It is optioned with tilt-telescopic steering and an AM/ FM radio and comes complete with five original Goodyear F70x15 tires. Documentation for this rarest of 1971 Corvettes includes an NCRS Shipping Data Report and a listing in the LS6 Registry.

1956 CHEVROLET BEL AIR CONVERTIBLE

265 CI V-8, POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC, CONTINENTAL KIT, HIGHLY OPTIONED AND PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED Playing off the success of the previous year’s redesign, the new 1956 Chevy was met with frenzy from the buying public. It was the first of many Chevrolets to receive a face-lift on existing sheet metal, and a very successful one. The ’56 sported a full-width front grille, satisfying customers who had not quite accepted the previous year’s Ferrariinspired eggcrate treatment. Distinctive bright body side trim accommodated two-tone paint and gave the car a forward-motion look even at rest, an effect furthered by gracefully reshaped front and rear wheel openings and restyled tail lights that hinted at the vertical fins that would follow in 1957. This beautiful 1956 Bel Air convertible

demonstrates the style and luxury available to the buyers who flocked to Chevrolet showrooms. It has been professionally restored and beautifully finished in period-popular Matador Red and White with a matching two-tone interior. The chromed “V” badges on the hood and trunk denote this Bel Air’s 265 CI V-8 engine, which is mated to a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. It is also generously optioned with power steering and brakes, power windows, seat and soft top, a Wonderbar push button radio, electric wipers and a dash-mounted traffic light indicator. It is also fully dressed with chromed gravel guards and fender spears, chromed front bumper extensions,

F212

imitation wire wheel hub caps, wide Whitewall tires, fender skirts and a Continental kit. Impressive detailing throughout adds to the quality and value of this superb restoration.

1966 SHELBY GT350H FASTBACK

289/306 HP V-8, AUTOMATIC, CALIFORNIA CAR UNTIL 1998 While Hertz originally asked for their 1,000 Shelby GT350Hs to come with 800 of them in Raven Black and gold, and 200 mixed Shelby colors, they later revised the order and after the black cars ordered four batches of 50 in blue, green, red and white. Shelby 6S1177 is one of the 50 blue cars, which were not painted in Shelby Guardsman Blue, but instead came in Ford Thunderbird Sapphire Blue. As was common for Hertz Shelbys, it had a radio installed at Shelby’s Hi-Performance Motors in El Segundo, California, before being prepped by City Motors in National City, California, for delivery to Hertz in San Diego.

Also common to the Hertz cars, it was equipped

with chrome Magnum wheels and a brake booster.

Interestingly, the original Hertz records from 1966 have been preserved, showing repair history, and a return to Shelby American in Los Angeles in May, 1967. An excellent succeeding ownership history is punctuated by an appearance in Mustang Monthly in February, 2000; and it was used as the cover image for Lane Models’ 1:18-scale diecast GT350H. Making as much as 270 HP on a dyno, the lightweight GT350 hit 60 MPH in 6.6 seconds for a May, 1966, Car & Driver road test, topping out at 117 MPH. But the GT350 is no muscle car.

Aimed at SCCA B-production, the Shelby package was far more than a hi-riser intake and headers--

F213 the brakes, transmission and suspension were also comprehensively upgraded and the whole car was lightened. Befitting its role as a car you could drive to the track on weekends, a GT350 can be used hard on the backroads, but is friendly enough you wouldn’t hesitate to take it out for a casual drive.

The car spent its entire life in California and Arizona and is rust free with only 13,216 miles on the odometer.

Amazingly, it has always been maintained by the same mechanic, a fact that helps explain how the car has survived these 45 years with its original components.

R-CODE HEMI 426/425 HP V-8, FACTORY TX9 BLACK, DOCUMENTED WITH THE ORIGINAL BROADCAST SHEET Until 1969 availability of the 426 CI Hemi engine in the Plymouth Barracuda was limited to special lightweight factory drag racing versions, but that changed in 1970 with the addition of the vaunted Street Hemi to the ‘Cuda’s production big-block engine lineup. Standard equipment for the Hemi cars included heavy duty suspension and brakes and the famous “Shaker” hood scoop that wore the king of engine badges, “hemicuda.”

1953 CHEVROLET PANEL TRUCK

F221

THRIFTMASTER INLINE SIX CYLINDER ENGINE, 4-SPEED, CUSTOM GM HERITAGE THEME Chevrolet entered the Post-World War II era looking to take advantage of the growing demand for working trucks, a phenomenon that was also attracting other automakers. Long before its first wave of postwar new car designs, in 1947 Chevrolet introduced its restyled “Advance Design” truck fleet, which emphasized passenger room and comfort. That included the panel delivery trucks, which combined those qualities with station wagon utility. Completed in 2012, this 1953 Chevrolet panel truck was the subject of a comprehensive restoration that included finishing it to look like a Woody wagon. A solid West Coast truck, it is beautifully finished in stunning Black

base/clear coat paint and is trimmed with showquality chrome and brightwork. That would be enough to attract the attention of discriminating enthusiasts, but the builder added tremendous personality with skillfully airbrushed imitationwood paneling on the body sides and rear doors, then added custom hand painted lettering that pays tribute to the “Chevrolet Heritage Center.”

The genesis for the Woody treatment becomes obvious by opening the back, revealing a factory wood interior complete with rear facing display drawers and a covered deck that reaches the entire length of the cargo area. The heritage theme carries throughout this charming vintage Chevy;

under the hood is a well detailed Thriftmaster inline six cylinder engine mated to a floor-shifted 4-speed manual transmission, a combination that served to establish the Chevrolet reputation for reliability. Period-correct wide Whitewall tires on Red painted steel wheels and bright wheel trim are the perfect finishing touches on this charming custom Chevy panel.

Forty years later Griffith and Dodge once again joined forces, this time when on March 9, 2009, the factory delivered to the veteran racer the second of its new Challenger Drag Pak racers; the first was custom built for drag racing legend “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, while Griffith’s number 2 car was actually the first off the Drag Pak assembly line. Completed

as a tribute to Griffith’s original Dart racer (now restored by former Chrysler Vice President of Global Service Joe Hilger), it was custom painted

by Nostalgia Lane with the same pop-art livery used on the original, with the added extra of a Who’s Who of Mopar racer autographs covering the inside of the trunk lid. Race preparation for the car included a 5.7L Hemi engine built by Arrington Performance in Martinsville, Virginia; a heavy duty automatic transmission, Strange Engineering Dana rear end and a roll cage installed

by Chassis Concepts. The only known Drag Pak equipped with Holley Dominator fuel injection, the car and driver Charlie Fitzsimmons dominated

F222

competition at the 2012 NHRA Gatornationals to take home Stock Eliminator honors and a coveted Wally, which is included with the sale. This one-ofa-kind factory racer was displayed in the Chrysler exhibit at the Woodward Cruise in Detroit and featured in multiple magazines. It comes with full documentation including its production and build and is offered on bill of sale.

1962 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GASSER

SUPERCHARGED ALL ALUMINUM 434 CI V-8, 4-SPEED, BUILT IN THE STYLE OF BIG JOHN MAZMANIAN’S CAR The culmination of a four-year, no-expensespared build, this 1962 Corvette resembles the immaculately prepared Candy Apple Red gasser campaigned by drag racing legend Big John Mazmanian, whose nephew Rich Siroonian took C Modified Sports Production honors at the 1962 Winternationals with fuel injection and followed that up with a BM/S win at Bakersfield in supercharged configuration. Like its inspiration, this Gasser Corvette is immaculate throughout; everything is new, beautifully finished and carefully

detailed, including the show quality undercarriage.

Beyond the cosmetics is true gasser-grade performance. The all-aluminum 434 CI Chevrolet engine packs a Lunati crank, Carillo rods and Ross pistons, breathing a dense fuel-air charge supplied by a Dyer 6-71 blower through Brodix heads. The result: 750 horses on 93-octane pump gas, cranked through a Lakewood-housed Centerforce clutch and Hurst-shifted 4-speed to a Ford 9-inch rear end with aluminum center section and Detroit Locker differential located by leaf springs and old

F223

school ladder bars. Riding high on an all-chromed straight front axle and classic gasser-style rolling stock, it’s a blast from the past that would make Big John proud.

1966 CHEVROLET NOVA L79 SS

F224

L79 327/350 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, 2013 NOVA NATIONALS 1ST PLACE AWARD WINNER The Chevrolet Chevy II was introduced in 1962 as Chevy’s alternative to the economyoriented Ford Falcon. Although its base engines were 4- and 6-cylinder units, hot rodders and drag racers took an immediate liking to the little car, which was intentionally designed to accept such powerplants as the Corvette’s high-winding 327 CI small block V-8. A largely cosmetic SS package followed in 1963, and in 1964 Chevrolet added a 283/195 HP V-8 to the option list along with a Muncie 4-speed, followed by 250 and 300 HP versions of the 327. But it wasn’t until 1966 that the factory finally reached into the parts bin to endow the little Chevy with real

Corvette-grade power in the form of the RPO L79 327/350 HP V-8. Just 200 L79 Novas were built before the option was inexplicably dropped the following year, making examples such as this prize winning Nova SS coupe rare indeed.

Built during the third week of January 1966, it combines this most sought-after engine with a period-correct Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission and 3.73-geared 12-bolt rear end, both required with the L79. Finished in Marina Blue with a Black interior, it incorporates the SSspecified Strato bucket seats, center console and Sport styled steering wheel, full size wheel covers, tissue dispenser and AM radio. The car has been

through a fully documented rotisserie restoration to stunning condition and has been certified as authentic. Further affirmation was delivered at the 2013 Nova Nationals in Charlotte, where it was awarded First Place in the 1966-67 Nova Restored Class.

1975 PONTIAC YENKO TRANS AM COUPE

DOCUMENTED YENKO L88 427/430 HP V-8 CONVERSION, THE ONLY KNOWN YENKO TRANS AM EVER BUILT By 1975 the factories had abandoned the muscle car wars, but stalwart enthusiasts continued to search for more horsepower, as did the original owner of this one-of-a-kind Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, who wanted to establish the car’s superiority in every possible challenge, including that from the local Pontiac dealer’s son and his ’74 Super Duty. The answer came from Yenko Chevrolet, where Don and Frank Yenko had their craftsmen fabricate the pieces necessary to install Chevrolet’s all-conquering L88 427/430 HP racing big block, which of course more accurately produced upwards of 550 HP. Backing that up with a 4-speed and 4.10 gears for maximum performance, Yenko thus

F225

created the only known Yenko Trans Am ever built.

Today with just over 13,000 original miles and in extremely original unrestored condition, it is every bit the performer it was meant to be and remains one of the baddest and fastest Yenko Supercars ever. A truly unique Supercar with absolutely no pedigree issues, it is registered with Yenko.net and was recently featured at the Super Car Reunion.

It is documented with full ownership history, title copies, all Yenko receipts and records - including paperwork signed by Don and Frank Yenko.

1957 CHEVROLET BEL AIR CONVERTIBLE

DUAL QUAD 283 CI V-8, POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND TOP, RESTORATION COMPLETED IN 2013 GM design chief Harley Earl’s legendary talents set the tone for the future of Chevrolet’s passenger car designs in 1955, but it was Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov who imbued the last of the Tri-Five Chevrolets with Corvettegrade power in both the Power Pack option and Rochester Ram Jet fuel injection. A restoration was completed on this eye-catching 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible in 2013, incorporating some important upgrades and modifications along the way while borrowing some of Duntov’s magic.

The appearance is factory original: Matador Red paint, matching two-tone interior, spinner wheel covers on wide Whitewalls, fender skirts

and dual antenna. The builder may have seen no reason to depart from one of the most iconic designs of the 20th century, but under the hood is a thoroughly warmed 283 CI small block bristling with Duntov’s influence. The matching numbers mill has been treated to a GM factory 1957 aluminum intake manifold mounting dual Carter 4-barrel carburetors, Fuelie heads, a high lift cam and dual exhaust, getting a modern tweak with a painted billet air cleaner. Power steering and brakes are present, including the replacement of the original single circuit master cylinder with a more up-to-date and safer dual circuit component. Additionally, a new soft top

2005 FORD GT

SUPERCHARGED 5.4/550 HP, 6-SPEED, ALL FOUR FACTORY OPTIONS, 3,439 ORIGINAL MILES Outwardly similar to the renowned Ford GT40 race cars of the 1960s, the 2005-2006 Ford GT is larger, wider and 3 inches higher than the GT40 for increased passenger comfort, but the similarities are really only as deep as the GT’s voluptuous aluminum skin. Built on an aluminum space-frame chassis, the GT was designed by Camilo Pardo, the head of Ford’s “Living Legends” studio, with performance development in the prototype stage

by Carroll Shelby, the man who was crucial in making the GT40 the legend it is today. Power is by a mid-engined supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 rated at 550 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque. A Ricardo 6-speed manual transaxle translates that

F227

power into exhilarating zero-to-60 times of 3.7 seconds and a top speed near 200 MPH, while Brembo Anti-Lock vented disc brakes provide substantial stopping power. This 2005 Ford GT presents in classic fashion with Midnight Blue Metallic paint and boasts all four options available on the GT: contrasting Le Mans stripes, forged alloy wheels, painted disc brake calipers and a McIntosh sound system.

1970 FORD MUSTANG BOSS 302 FASTBACK

ORIGINAL 302/290 HP V-8, DOCUMENTED WITH INVOICE, WARRANTY CARD AND COPY OF THE WINDOW STICKER While already armed with the big block Cobra Jet engines in both regular and Ram Air versions, in 1969 Ford found it necessary to develop a highwinding small block Mustang to go toe to toe with the Chevrolet Camaro Z28 in the popular Trans Am racing series and on the street. The answer was the Boss 302, a Sportsroof only model endowed with a four-bolt main racing-spec 302 CI V-8 and a close ratio 4-speed manual transmission. Ford sold 1,700 Boss 302 Mustangs that first year, and the cars proved so successful that in 1970 Ford sold over 6,300 examples, one of which is offered here in this superbly presented coupe. Its high compression matching numbers 302/290

HP engine is original to the car and backed with the requisite 4-speed and standard ratio 3.50 rear end. The car retains both the correct smog control system and rev limiter (required in the Boss 302 to prevent over-revving – an apparently common tendency of drivers of the period), and also features the popular but rare Shaker hood scoop. Finished in desirable Grabber Blue with a Black interior, the car has undergone a frame-up restoration and presents in well-equipped condition, its DÊcor Group interior offering Corinthian vinyl bucket seats with console, tilt steering column with rim blow Deluxe steering wheel, wood grain applique trim, tinted glass, auxiliary below-dash gauges, AM

1948 FORD F1 PICKUP

239 CI FLATHEAD V-8, UPGRADED 5-SPEED, ALL STEEL BODY, PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED Ford entered the immediate post-war period in danger of financial collapse. Founder Henry Ford turned management over to his son, Henry Ford II, just in time for the younger to begin turning around the company’s fortunes. This was an enormous task that centered on a complete overhaul of Ford’s truck lines with new products to generate cash from the vast demand for working trucks for farms and industry. Advertised as “Bonus Built”, the new-for-1948 F-Body pickups spearheaded the strategy with record sales that reached 289,971 trucks in 1948, 227,531 in

1949 and a new record of 358,810 in 1950. This 1948 Ford F1 pickup was there at the forefront of the F-Series juggernaut and today has been professionally restored and given a few well chosen enhancements. The all-steel body that helped revolutionize truck design has been retained and refinished in stunning PPG concept Coca-Cola Red paint with tasteful White pinstriping. The F1’s exterior presentation is complemented by a White grille insert, new wide Whitewall tires, Red painted steelies and chrome trim rings and hub caps.

Chrome and polished stainless trim decorate the

F230 running boards, custom roof-mounted running lights, front grille, front and rear bumpers, mirrors, spotlight and cargo bed, which also features fresh oak floor boards and side fences. While mostly stock, the interior has been nicely brightened with snappy White upholstery on the bench seat, doors and ceiling and Red carpeting. Power is strictly old school Ford, a flathead V-8 engine beefed with dual exhaust, Offenhauser finned aluminum heads and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and backed by a modern 5-speed manual transmission.

2005 DODGE VIPER SRT/10 COPPERHEAD EDITION #199 OF 300 PRODUCED, ONE OWNER WITH ONLY 16 MILES There’s no doubt about it: the Dodge Viper is a sports car for muscle car fans. The Viper is powered by a pushrod 8.3L V-10 engine generating 510 HP and 535 lb-ft of torque, while eschewing such niceties as stability control, head-up display, GPS navigation or an automatic transmission. That hint of old school rawness in the Viper’s performance is coupled with one of the most muscular-looking shapes ever to drop its top, especially when it is festooned in the stunning Orange Satin paint reserved for just 300 special Copperhead Edition convertibles built in 2005. This is number 199 of that August group, an original one-owner example with a scant 16 real miles on the clock. Purchased

new from Bayshore Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge in Bayside, New York, it is distinguished inside by a Copperhead specific interior employing Black leather seats trimmed with Orange stitching on the seams and in the Viper logo embroidered into the seatbacks. The steering wheel and shifter boot get the same treatment, and there is a numbered dash plaque confirming the car’s exclusivity. Completed with a Black soft top, highly polished aluminum wheels and factory side exhaust, the car is in new and original condition, having been properly stored in a climate controlled environment complete with padded carpet and a battery tender. It is well documented with the window sticker, manuals,

1970 PONTIAC TRANS AM RAM AIR IV

F232

ORIGINAL DRIVETRAIN, 1 OF 29 RAM AIR IV AUTOMATICS PRODUCED IN 1970 While Chevrolet’s interpretation of the new 1970 F-body concept showed restraint in the use of front and rear spoilers on the Camaro, Pontiac stylists and aerodynamicists took a typically much more aggressive approach with the Trans Am, adding aero spats to the leading edges of the wheel arches and integrating the forward pair into the front spoiler. The new Trans Am also incorporated an adaptation of the mid-sized GTO’s front and rear styling treatments, most noticeably in the Endura front bumper that housed both the Firebird’s twin grilles and integrated headlights; the dramatic “Screaming Chicken” hood decal provided a graphic exclamation point. The resulting

visual impact perfectly suited the Firebird’s more outgoing personality, making it perhaps the most easily identifiable high performance pony car of the era, with the added benefit of an additional 50 pounds of downforce that was equalled by the substantial rear spoiler at highway speeds.

In addition to its distinctive look and prominent graphics, the 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am’s new suspension and quicker steering also set a new standard of performance handling in the pony car segment. Attractively finished as originally produced in Lucerne Blue with White stripes, this rare 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is one of only 29 to leave the factory equipped with the

muscular Ram Air IV 400/370 HP engine mated with a Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.

It was sympathetically restored in the early 1990s, retaining its original matching numbers drivetrain and interior and has been very well maintained ever since.

1961 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

1 OF 118 PRODUCED WITH RPO 353 FUEL INJECTED 283/275 HP V-8, RARE COLOR COMBINATION Corvette production surpassed the 10,000 mark for the second consecutive year in 1961, but only 118 were built with the RPO 353 283/275 HP engine featuring Rochester fuel injection. This rarity is not surprising, as the option’s $484.20 price tag was identical to that of the RPO 354 283/315 HP engine, 1,462 of which found their way into the Corvette that same year. Built on December 1, 1960, this ’61 Corvette convertible is believed to be one of only three with its particular combination of engine, colors and options. It is mostly original with the exception of a single known repaint, a new Black soft top by interior specialist Al Knoch and new seat belts of the

correct color and labeling. It retains its original rebuilt matching numbers engine with CR-suffix block, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Its combination of Sateen Silver with White coves is the rarest of 1961 production, which totaled just 159 units. At just 53,000 miles, this exceptional Corvette shows off a very clean undercarriage that possesses the correct factory markings; a new correctly date coded battery adds even further to the car’s authenticity. Stored in a climate controlled garage after being shown in a Canadian museum for over 20 years, the car’s major components have been decoded and photographed to document its factory correct numbers. In addition, it is also being

F233

offered with a fulsome collection of old receipts, Corvette literature and the owner’s manual, and comes with a pictorial binder and owner history that reaches back over the last 25 years.

1985 AUTOKRAFT AC MKIV COBRA ROADSTER

#120 OF 300 BUILT BY AUTOKRAFT AND SOLD THROUGH FORD DEALERS, ONE OWNER CAR WITH 6,119 MILES Built in the shadow of the legendary and long defunct Brooklands race track, this 1985 Autokraft AC MkIV Cobra is one of only 300 built by the tiny company founded by Brian Angliss, a career Shelby restoration expert and aftermarket parts manufacturer. Angliss picked up the pieces of AC Cars, the company whose Ace sports car was the foundation of Carroll Shelby’s original Cobra. In 1981 AC gave Autokraft not only the original Cobra chassis jig and the original bucks for hand shaping the aluminum bodywork; it also gave Autokraft the rights to the AC trademark. Autokraft gained another ally in Ford, who agreed to sell the Mark IV through selected dealers, making it the first

non-Ford sold from their showrooms since the Pantera. Re-engineered and improved to meet U.S. safety and emissions requirements, the Mark IV is still pure Cobra, from its Ford 5.0L V-8 and Borg Warner T-10 4-speed to the Salisbury IRS rear end.

Standard equipment included 4-wheel disc brakes, a Connolly leather interior with high-back bucket seats, full instrumentation and wood rimmed Cobra steering wheel, cockpit tonneau cover, windshield wind wings and bolt-on Halibrand wheels. This British Racing Green 1985 Autokraft AC MkIV Cobra is number 120 of the 300 cars made. A highly original one owner all-matching numbers car with 6,119 miles, it was produced in

1985 with factory air conditioning and shipped to Muck Motors of Buffalo, New York, who sold it new to Michael George of East Aurora. It is listed in the Shelby Registry as vehicle number AK 1120 and documented with a copy of the original MSO and a copy of the original New York State title showing Mr. George as the original owner.

FUEL INJECTED JASPER LT1 V-8, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FULL CUSTOM BUILD With outlandish batwing styling quaintly referred to in sales literature as “saucy”, the 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible was one of the most iconic designs of the Great Tailfin Era of the late 50s, a fact that makes it the perfect subject for full-bore Resto Modding treatment.

F236 a Billet Specialties steering wheel on a chromed Ididit tilt steering column, digital gauges, new glass, 6-way power front seat and a Custom Auto Sound stereo system with 10-disc CD changer.

1937 FORD ROADSTER STREET ROD “ROCKSTER”

2012 DETROIT AUTORAMA 2ND IN CLASS, BUILT AS A TRIBUTE TO JIMMY BONES This stunning 1937 Ford Roadster street rod was built as a tribute to musician and recording artist Jimmy “Bones” Trombly, the organ/piano/ keyboard/harmonica player in Kid Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker Band. Nicknamed “Rockster”, it was created by Trombly’s cousin Lenny Longuski, a craftsman with 28 years’ experience in custom work, who based the project on original 1937 frame rails mounting a fiberglass body complete with a featherweight sprayed foam hardtop. Powered by a 5.3L fuel injected Chevrolet engine, the Rockster showcases Longuski’s talent in every detail, from its superb “Rockstar Red” custom paint (specially mixed by Longuski, who applied it in a painstaking

The Rockster comes with extra emblems and two sets of floor mats, one of which is embroidered with a likeness of Bones’ autograph, and is personally signed by Bones on the cockpit cascade panel.

DON PRUDHOMME’S 1982 TRANS AM FUNNY CAR “PEPSI CHALLENGER”

F239

THE FIRST FUNNY CAR IN NHRA HISTORY TO RUN 250 MPH AND 5.6 SECONDS IN THE QUARTER MILE, ORIGINAL ENGINE AND BODY Truly one of the most historically significant automobiles in NHRA history, Don “The Snake” Prudhomme’s 1982 Pontiac Trans Am-bodied nitro Funny Car, the “Pepsi Challenger, rewrote drag racing history on two separate occasions during the 1982 NHRA season in an era when such NHRA champions as Kenny Bernstein, Raymond Beadle, and Frank Hawley were constantly put to the test by Prudhomme’s dominance.

On May 29, 1982 at the NHRA Cajun Nationals in Baton Rouge, LA, Prudhomme drove this car to the sport’s first 250 MPH Funny Car pass during qualifying, 250.00 MPH. And on September 4th at the 1982 U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, IN—drag racing’s most prestigious event—Prudhomme ran an amazing 5.637-second elapsed time, which was nearly 2/10 of a second quicker than the existing

national record, despite the fact the engine suffered considerable internal damage on the run. It is still considered the greatest single Funny Car pass in NHRA history.

Both of his spectacular runs were listed on the NHRA’s 60 Greatest Moments which were compiled in 2011 to commemorate the NHRA’s 60th anniversary. In 2001, Prudhomme, the first racer in NHRA history to win four consecutive Funny Car world championships (1975-1978), was chosen No. 3 on the list of the NHRA’s All-Time 50 Greatest Drivers.

Tuned by Prudhomme’s longtime Hall of Fame crew chief, Bob Brandt, the “Pepsi Challenger” won three NHRA national events in 1982, qualified No. 1 four times, and carried “The Snake” to a thirdplace finish in the championship points.

The “Pepsi Challenger” has been restored to the exact race-ready condition in which it competed in 1982. The 484-cubic-inch, all-aluminum Hemi engine, built by the great Keith Black, which powered this landmark Funny Car to its barrierbreaking 250 MPH run, is still mounted in its chrome-moly tubular chassis along with its twospeed racing transmission.

Prudhomme retired as a driver at the end of the 1994 NHRA season after scoring a total of 49 national event victories in both Top Fuel Dragster and Funny Car, placing him No. 8 all-time on the list of professional winners. He drove to eight career victories at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in both categories and added three more victories there as an owner, in 1995, 2001, and 2005 with his Top Fuel driver, Larry Dixon.

1970 PONTIAC GTO JUDGE RAM AIR IV

RAM AIR IV 400/370, AUTOMATIC, CARDINAL RED WITH RED INTERIOR Pontiac’s hugely successful GTO was boldly restyled in 1970. Exposed headlights were back, recessed into a handsome new split-grille Endura front end, and dramatic creases over the wheel wells gave the car a more muscular look, one accented by the multi-colored body-side graphics of the popular Judge option. Sold new at West River Motors in Hettinger, North Dakota, this Ram Air IV 1970 GTO Judge is the only one on factory record finished in two-tone Cardinal Red with a White painted roof. That color scheme was changed during a frame-off restoration, and the car is now happily resplendent in all-Cardinal Red with a sharp Red interior. This GTO is also one

F240

of only 140 automatic-equipped hardtops ordered with the famous 400 CI Ram Air IV V-8, the most exotic high-performance engine ever factoryinstalled in the GTO and seriously under-rated at 370 HP. In keeping with the Judge’s upscale theme, the car is well-optioned with power steering and power front disc brakes, bucket seats with center console, Rallye gauges, a Formula steering wheel, hood mounted tach and a rare period-correct below-dash 8-Track tape player. The Pontiac Historical Services documentation is included.

1965 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE RESTO MOD

LS2/400 HP V-8 WITH LINGENFELTER CAMSHAFT AND LS7 THROTTLE BODY, TREMEC 6-SPEED From the moment the public first laid eyes on it, the Corvette Sting Ray was the object of every car buff ’s desires. It remains an icon today, but one that can be made faster, better handling and even better looking than ever. The 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Resto Mod offered here meets all those criteria, beginning with its deep and mirror-like Black paint and equally lustrous chrome. Fitted with 17-inch American Racing billet alloy wheels wrapped in Nitto high performance rubber, it is the very picture of performance, but it’s the marvel under the hood that stirs the car to action.

Based on a custom-polished aluminum Corvette LS2 V-8 engine short block, it gets a boost from

F240.1

a Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam and LS7 throttle body. The exhaust exits through Hooker headers feeding Corvette style side pipes. Backing up this powerhouse is a Tremec TKO-600 5-speed manual transmission. Modern rack and pinion steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes provide excellent handling. The full custom interior uses late model Z06 seats, Black vinyl fabric headliner, matching Black carpets and custom covering on the dash, which houses Auto Meter gauges. The result is a head-turning, road-burning Resto Mod for the Corvette lover of any generation.

1956 CHEVROLET NOMAD WAGON RESTO MOD

PAUL NEWMAN CHASSIS WITH CORVETTE LS3 V-8, 4L60 AUTOMATIC, INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION AND DISC BRAKES Although sales of Chevrolet’s 1955 Nomad station wagon disappointed management, the decision was made to continue with the model in 1956. Even while noting that the new Nomad’s “distinct personal-car feel forces certain limiting features” – a curious observation given that the 1956 model carried more cargo than some of its 4-door contemporaries - Motor Trend Magazine nevertheless named it one of the most beautiful cars of the year. The most notable cosmetic improvement was the body side trim, which matched the Bel Air and also incorporated a vertical piece angled to match the B-pillar, making this model more similar to its Bel Air counterpart

than the ’55 and, with the passage of time, every bit as popular with rodders and restorers today.

This 1956 Chevrolet Nomad employs a brand new chassis from Newman Car Creations to give it the outstanding ride derived from its all-new, all-Corvette 4-wheel independent suspension and 4-wheel power disc brakes, but there is a lot more to like both inside and out, beginning with its fresh Red-and-Black paint, all-new chrome and stainless trim and Goodyear Eagle-wrapped 17-inch Boyd Coddington spoked billet aluminum wheels.

Quality and craftsmanship are clearly evident in the custom all-Red leather cabin with a 3-way power front seat, power windows, cruise control,

F241

Vintage Air and Classic Instruments gauges. A color-matching custom cover tops the car’s allaluminum fuel-injected LS3 engine, which pumps over 400 HP through a 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission to give this Nomad Corvette-grade acceleration. Adding to the list of upgrades are a new radiator, battery, exhaust system, tail lights and fuel lines.

1969 FORD MUSTANG BOSS 429 FASTBACK

KK #1726, RESTORATION COMPLETED IN 2013, MCA NATIONAL GOLD CONCOURS CLASS WINNER Unlike the first generation Boss 302, the Ford Mustang Boss 429 was not designed to be “the best handling car on the road” as Ford GM Bunkie Knudson famously prescribed. Its mission was a very different one indeed: to make Ford’s advanced new 429 CI “semi hemi” V-8 engine eligible for NASCAR competition against Chrysler’s 426 Hemi engine. Intentionally underrated at a ludicrous 375 horsepower, the 429 engine employed a forged steel crank, NASCARspec forged connecting rods, four-bolt main bearing caps and large-valve aluminum heads with crescent-shaped combustion chambers. Fed by a 735 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor on an

aluminum high-rise intake manifold, the 429’s breathing was controlled by a hydraulic cam that was replaced partway through production with a solid-lifter version. Kar Kraft of Brighton, Michigan performed the conversions at a dedicated facility. Each Mustang bound for Kar Kraft was fitted with a 428 Cobra Jet engine, 4-speed transmission, power steering and front disc brakes, heavy duty suspension, 3.91 TractionLok rear end, chromed Magnum 500 wheels with Goodyear Polyglas GT tires and a Deluxe Décor interior with 8,000 RPM tach and AM radio. Installing the massive 429 in the Mustang required relocating the front shock towers and

F242

lowering and widening the front suspension with new control arms and spindles. This outstanding 1969 Boss 429, KK #1726, was expertly restored to exactly as it was finished at Kar Kraft, a project that included replacing all rusted panels with original sheet metal from a donor car to maintain original build quality. Finished in Candyapple Red with a Black interior, it was completed in June 2013. It subsequently won the Gold Concours Trailered class at a MCA National event and was invited to the prestigious Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago where it took home the Gold award in November 2013.

1956 FORD THUNDERBIRD

312/225 HP V-8, FACTORY RAVEN BLACK, TWO TOPS WITH TWO DOCUMENTED OWNERS SINCE NEW The star of songs and movies, 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbirds remain among the most adored and recognizable American classics. Though marketed as a “personal car,” performance aficionados found themselves at Ford dealerships drawn to the vehicle with powerful V-8 engines and stable handling delivering capabilities exceeding many true sports cars even Chevrolet purists continue to love these so-called “Baby Birds,” because the model’s overnight success caused GM executives to rethink axing and instead significantly improve its slow-selling Corvette. After delivering over 50 percent more than the initial sales estimates in 1955, for 1956 the Blue Oval team needed only

to fine tune the Thunderbird. While there were many small trim alterations, the largest change was the increase in trunk space gained from moving the spare tire to an attractive rear-mounted continental kit. Also notable was a new optional hardtop porthole window for added elegance. The car’s perfect proportions and wonderful driving dynamics won many fans, including Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Howard Hughes, all of whom purchased 1956 Thunderbirds for personal use.

The second owner acquired this example from the original owner in 1988 and then treated it to a 15-year-long, concours-level restoration. As shown by the original Ford invoice, this car wears

F243

its correct combination of A-code Raven Black paint with Black and White interior. The car’s black hard and cloth tops complete the sophisticatedyet-sinister look. Under the hood, enthusiasts will notice the optional P-code 4V carburetor-equipped 312 CI V-8 with a factory engine dress-up kit. 225 horsepower and 324 lb-ft of torque are transmitted by the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission and the T-Bird’s driving experience is further enhanced by power steering and brakes.

1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE SPLIT WINDOW COUPE RESTO MOD

LS3/535 HP V-8, TREMEC 5-SPEED, STREET SHOP CHASSIS WITH C6 CORVETTE SUSPENSION AND BRAKES There are many ways to customize a vintage Corvette or breathe new life into a project in the making, and with the advances gained over the years in both suspension and powertrains, the first step most likely is a new frame designed to accept these new developments. In the case of this 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe, the foundation comes from Street Shop, Inc. of Athens, Alabama, whose mission has been to engineer a chassis capable of delivering the ride and handling characteristics of a late model Corvette without destroying the precious C2 body in any way. That goal has been met in this fine Resto Mod coupe, which rides on polished C6 suspension and uses the disc brakes

F244

from a C6 Z06. If that pairing of C6 handling with Harley Earl’s classic design sounds impressive, wait until you experience the 525-horsepower pull of the new LS3 all-aluminum engine backed by a new Tremec 5-speed and Viper 3.55 rear end. In addition to its classic Red-on-Black color scheme, the car also incorporates rack and pinion steering, keyless pushbutton start, power windows, antenna and locks and 2013 Corvette seats.

Inspiring credentials, but no surprise given this multiple award winner’s quality and regard for detail.

rare one piece front bumper. Passengers are treated to a full complement of custom features inside, including power windows and a power front seat.

Beautiful Torch Red leather upholstery is used on the comfy split bench seats, door and kick panels, in a pattern suggesting early Corvette designs, and cool Vintage Air is channeled inside through the factory vents situated beneath the dash, which remains as original except for the padded billet steering wheel and custom sound system controls.

The engine room and undercarriage have been equally well attended. Street and Performance detailed the 350 CI ZZ4 crate engine, smoothing the block and polishing the heads to a mirror shine.

1962 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE FUELIE 327/360 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, TRIPLE BLACK WITH AUXILIARY HARDTOP With a brand new design waiting in the wings for 1963, styling of the 1962 Corvette was limited to a few subtle adjustments. Cleaner details included a new Blacked-out front grille and simple vents replacing the chromed accents in the side coves. Two-tone paint was discontinued along with the stainless side cove surrounds, giving Corvette a more elegant overall look. While the solid rear axle made its final appearance, there was big news under the hood for 1962, however, as the 283 CI V-8 was significantly enlarged to 327 CI, with a corresponding increase in peak horsepower to 360 in fuel-injected engines; dual carburetion was also a thing of the past. While production increased

40 percent to 14,531, “Fuelie” Corvettes such as this triple Black convertible remained a relative rarity. Powered by a matching numbers 327/360 HP small block with Rochester fuel injection and a 4-speed manual transmission, its Tuxedo Black paint is matched with a Black interior and soft top and a matching auxiliary hardtop. One of only 1,918 fuel-injected Corvettes produced in 1962, it shows 26,310 miles, a figure believed to be correct.

In addition to its Rochester fuel injection unit, the clean underhood area is highlighted by a correct Delco Remy generator, Harrison radiator and overflow tank and the 7-fin aluminum valve covers that were standard on Corvette high performance

F247 engines in the small block era. A Wonderbar radio and Firestone Deluxe Champion Whitewall tires with full wheel covers complete this rare, handsome and powerful ’62 Fuelie.

1963 PLYMOUTH SPORT FURY MAX WEDGE HARDTOP

426/415 HP MAX WEDGE V-8, PUSHBUTTON AUTOMATIC, SAME OWNER FROM 1977-2013 Purchased new by Allen Lee Parish from Wilson Motors of Sioux City, Iowa on December 21, 1962, this 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury 2-door hardtop coupe is number 7 of 18 built that year with the 426 CI Max Wedge engine in “Lo Comp” (LC) specification. The LC Max Wedge package was centered around the 426/415 HP Max Wedge Super Stock engine with dual cross ram Carter carburetion, heavy duty rotating assembly, solid lifter cam, 11.1:1 compression, dual point ignition and high flow exhaust manifolds, but it also included a lightweight hood, 10-inch drum brakes, Super Stock suspension, extra cooling and 3-inch dual exhaust. In this case, the Max Wedge’s high output required a special heavy

duty pushbutton A727 Torqueflite transmission, which is connected to a 3.91 limited slip rear end. All that collectively amounted to drag racing superiority, but in the case of the Sport Fury it also meant a high level of luxury. Correctly finished in Ebony with a Red and White bucket seat interior, it features a deluxe steering wheel, console with storage compartment, padded dash, special bright body trim and more. It has been with one owner from 1977 until recently and now shows a believed-correct 48,354 miles. This rare Max Wedge Mopar is documented with owner history, the original warranty books and a copy of the Chrysler Registry paperwork showing the car as number 7 of 18 produced.

1962 CHEVROLET CORVETTE BIG BRAKE FUELIE

327/360 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, 1 OF 246 PRODUCED WITH RPO 687 HEAVY DUTY BRAKES AND SPECIAL STEERING Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov set the future path for Corvette as early as 1955, when he first began developing the new 265 CI smallblock engine for racing. Higher compression ratios, multiple carburetion and fuel injection, heavy-duty rotating assemblies and improved breathing all resulted from Duntov’s tireless work.

In 1958 he added heavy-duty suspension and high performance braking packages, and by the early 1960s the Corvette was in a class of its own. It got a further boost in 1962 when displacement increased to 327 CI. If all-out competition in SCCA B Production racing was your goal in 1962, you checked off all the options that went into

producing this sensational triple black Chevrolet Corvette.

Sold new by Humphrey Chevrolet in Evanston, Illinois, this example is one of only 246 1962 Corvettes produced with the RPO 687 heavy duty brakes and steering package that included special front and rear shock absorbers, air scoops to feed cool air to the brakes, metallic brake linings, special finned drums with internal cooling fans and a quick steering adapter, complemented with dual front sway bars, off-road exhaust and auxiliary hardtop.

Power comes from the competition-ready 327CID engine with Rochester fuel injection. Capable of a reliable 6,500 RPM, the 327 combines 11.25:1

F248.1

compression, the famous Duntov solid lifter cam and high-speed valve train for a factory rating of 360 HP at 6,000 RPM; backed with a four-speed T-10 manual transmission and 4.11 Positraction rear end, it all adds up to the most potent Corvette in the 1962 line-up.

1949 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY CONVERTIBLE

323 CI STRAIGHT EIGHT ENGINE, 3-SPEED, ORIGINAL BODY, 1 OF 1,000 PRODUCED Chrysler’s Town and Country had its roots not in a showy sedan or convertible but in a station wagon conceived by Chrysler Division General Manager Dave Wallace, whose quest for a streamlined station wagon left outside wood body manufacturers baffled in their attempts to design suitable production processes. This prompted Wallace to bring the project back to his own engineers, who in 1941 produced an elegant fastback sedan body with unique clamshell rear doors. The Town and Country returned in 1946, again with bodies designed in house and built

by Pekin Wood Products of Helena, Arkansas.

Woodies gained in popularity in the early postwar

years, and the Town and Country was arguably the most handsome and durable of them all. With its Ash framework, luxurious interiors and regal bearing, the Town and Country became one of the “halo” cars that lured consumers back to auto showrooms, in the hope that while admiring the wood-framed wonder they might also consider buying one of the more conventional – and affordable – models on display. At the end of its production in 1949, the Town and Country was all-new; the convertible was the last of the wood bodied convertibles built by Chrysler. Of exactly 1,000 built in 1949, this nicely restored example is one of fewer than 150 believed to exist today and

F249 is distinguished by the fact that it appears to retain all the original body with no signs of any wood replacement. It also boasts beautiful Noel Green Metallic paint with a Coffee Brown full leather interior, Tan canvas top and top boot and near perfect chrome and brightwork.

CORVETTE LS3 V-8, TREMEC 5-SPEED, STINGER HOOD, TUBULAR CHASSIS WITH C4 CORVETTE SUSPENSION The builder of this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Resto Mod convertible started the project with a custom tube steel frame with front and rear independent suspension from a 1994 Corvette, complementing that with massive 13inch disc brakes with drilled and vented rotors.

Chevrolet’s C6 Corvette was the source for the car’s all aluminum LS3 V-8, here fitted with a Street & Performance serpentine front pulley system and cooled by a Dewitt big block-rated aluminum radiator with dual fans. Backed with a hydraulically operated clutch, Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and 3.73-geared Positraction rear end, the LS3 is fed by a stainless steel gas

tank with an internal pump supplied by Rock’s Hotrod Shop. Although produced in 1966, the car has been finished to replicate a 1967 model by installing a ’67-vintage big block Stinger hood, front fender body side vents, backup lights and factory side exhaust. Beautiful Cadillac Silver base coat clear coat is accented with a Black Stinger and a sharp Black cloth soft top. The only obvious departures in the cosmetic department are the car’s chromed 18-inch Corvette style wheels shod with low profile Hankook performance rubber.

The interior is mid-year Corvette at its best and brightest, incorporating Red leather seats fitted with ’67 optional headrests, a wood-rimmed

F250

To buy one new, you first had to know it existed; it was not listed in Chevy showroom literature or sales catalogues, so most potential buyers learned about it only by reading the day’s popular performance magazines. Then you had to know how to access Chevrolet’s Special Product Order form, check off the right numbers and then convince the dealer to order one.

1965 FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK RESTO MOD

HIGH PERFORMANCE 302 CI V-8 WITH ALUMINUM HEADS, TREMEC 5-SPEED It’s hard to argue with the looks of a ‘65 Mustang, but in its early years, at least, Mustang was a handling car and not built for winning stoplight drags. So the urge to improve the performance has been strong from day one and with 1.4 million sold through 1966, no one gets upset about modifying an important classic. One look under the hood of an early Mustang, however, will make it abundantly clear that there just isn’t much room between the shock towers for big blocks. Fortunately, Ford will sell you a 302 CI V-8 designed to fit the Mustang, starting at over 300 HP. In this case, a Ford racing cam, roller rockers and aluminum heads and intake make 380 HP – nearly twice what a stock K-code

289 Mustang has been dyno tested to put out at the rear wheels. Opening up the hood gratifyingly reveals this engine in a super clean engine bay with fully matched accessories. No K-code Mustang ever had a Tremec 5-speed transmission, either, which is combined with low-profile radials on the 10-spoke wheels and a 9-inch rear end with Positraction to launch you like a steam catapult.

Subframe connectors make a big difference in body rigidity, whether the corners are on a street or track. Inside you’ll find a Pony interior featuring an engine turned dash with clean, tasteful and legible white-face gauges; a wood rimmed steering wheel with Cobra center cap; and Hurst ball

F251 handle shifter. Mustang embossed high back seats hold your body in place while down below; drilled pedals invite your feet to dance. With looks you can’t deny and muscle to back it up, this modern interpretation of a Cobra Mustang has what it takes to keep you happy both in motion, and just standing still.

1963 FORD GALAXIE 500XL FASTBACK

R-CODE 427/425 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, FRAME-UP RESTORATION IN RARE TURQUOISE PAINT WITH MATCHING INTERIOR Ford launched its “Total Performance” campaign in 1963 and delivered on that promise half way through the year with big surprise. The 1963½ Galaxie 500 and 500XL hardtops were fitted with a sleek fastback roof to improve aerodynamics on NASCAR’s super speedways, but the big news was under the hood in the form of Ford’s new 427 CI V-8. The R-code dual 4-barrel version took the engine’s potential to a new level, using a forged steel crank and cross-bolted main bearing caps, forged aluminum pistons, a lightweight valvetrain and solid lifter cam to punch out 425 HP and 480 lb-ft of torque. A $462 option, the R-code Galaxie was produced with heavy duty

suspension, drivetrain and brakes, larger 15-inch wheels and tires and mandatory 4-speed. The product of a frame-up restoration several years ago, the rare R-code Galaxie offered here is a solid southern example with a period correct 427/425 HP dual quad engine. Rebuilt without regard for expense, it makes extensive use of NOS parts including the block, rods, pistons, oil pan, valves, springs, exhaust headers, intake manifold, fuel lines, air cleaner and valve covers. The 11.5-inch clutch and pressure plate are NOS, and the rear end incorporates a NOS 4.11 Ford gearset with new Detroit Locker, 31-spline axles and new bearings.

Sharply finished in rare Turquoise with a matching

1958 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

F253

EARLY PRODUCTION FUEL INJECTED 283/290 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, SOFT TOP DELETE If 1957 was a high point in the development of Corvette performance, the following year can be considered important from a styling and design viewpoint. While the wheelbase remained at 102 inches, Corvette grew slightly in overall dimension and presented a comprehensive freshening in its quad headlight front fascia, “washboard” fauxlouvered hood and chrome trunk spears. The interior was also completely revised. The gauges were gathered up from across the dash and clustered directly in front of the driver and a center console and passenger grab handle appeared for the first time. The changes were largely cosmetic.

What remained unchanged was Corvette’s potent

powertrain lineup that included two versions of the Rochester fuel injected 283/290 HP small block V-8. This early production “Fuelie” equipped 1958 Corvette convertible is believed to have been built on October 20, 1957 and was delivered with a Borg Warner T-10 4-speed and 4.11 Positraction rear end. Today it is in outstanding as new condition as a result of a body-off restoration at a cost exceeding $100,000. Highlighted by straight body panels and superior panel fit and finish, it impresses with clear glass, brilliant bright work and sparkling chrome and show quality detailing throughout. A soft top-delete car with auxiliary hardtop only, it is painted in Tuxedo Black with Black coves and

Black interior and shows off the bright fender badges that denote every fuel injected Corvette.

Period correct 6.70-15 Firestone bias-ply tires on optional 15-inch wheels with full wheel covers add to the racy appearance of this show ready “Fuelie” version of the 1958 Corvette.

1997 MALIBU 20’ CORVETTE CALLAWAY SUPERNATURAL CALLAWAY DESIGNED 383/400 HP LT1 V-8, MATCHING TRAILER INCLUDED Callaway engineering was not confined to Corvette road and race cars. It also reached into the sport boating world when Callaway teamed with General Motors and Malibu Boats to produce the limited edition Corvette Callaway Supernatural ski boat, a 20-foot speedster with a prominent Corvette theme. A dominant manufacturer of tournament ski boats, Malibu produced approximately 150 examples from 1997 to 2000, most of which were snapped up by Corvette owners who wanted a ski boat styled and upholstered to match their 4-wheeled rides. The Corvette styling is unmistakable: the boat’s Echelon hull is fitted with a foredeck styled to replicate a

C4 hood; the instrument panel and upholstery patterns in the bucket seat cockpit are C5-inspired.

Actual Corvette emblems are strategically placed, and even trademark ZR1-style C4 Corvette tail lights are included. The dual exhausts carry Corvette-style extended chrome tips, while the matching trailer flashes four frenched taillights and genuine Corvette alloy wheels with Z-rated Goodyear tires. The Malibu Corvette rips through the water, thanks to a 383/400 HP small-block V8 prepared by Corvette tuner Reeves Callaway and adapted to marine use by Indmar. Virtually every component that comes in contact with the water is stainless steel, including the tracking

F256 fins, rudder and Malibu’s unique trim plate. This hydraulically adjustable plate is recessed into the hull near the stern and adjusts down to flatten the wake for smoother skiing. This limited edition Callaway-GM-Malibu collaboration is a natural for any Corvette enthusiast with a love of true high performance boating.

This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette Callaway Super Speedster is the first of only two Series II Super Speedsters built by Callaway. Like its stable mate, Lot F261, it was purchased new

by Richard Berry and placed in his private collection of superb Callaway Corvette specials and is based on the famous ZR1. It also stands apart from the ten twin-turbo small block equipped Callaway Speedsters by virtue of its LT5 766 HP engine.

Building on the ZR1’s Lotus designed DOHC 32-valve V-8, Callaway added twin turbochargers and intercoolers, necessitating the development of a new engine management system and higher flow fuel injection and exhaust systems, including tube headers and new catalytic converters. The engine itself is blueprinted and magnafluxed and fitted with a forged crank and Cosworth pistons. Accommodating all the extra plumbing required by the twin turbos was a complicated affair, solved in large part by redesigning the front frame and crossmember.

In addition, the unique carbon fiber front bodywork features air inlets and outlets for the twin intercoolers. The Super Speedster’s proven competition suspension incorporates fully adjustable

122 // FRIDAY

coilover shock absorbers to enable fine adjustments to ride height and weight distribution. Callaway-specified Brembo disc brakes stand in for the stock Corvette units, working through massive Bridgestone tires on O.Z. Racing wheels.

It’s not just awesome performance that characterizes the Callaway Super Speedster. A true roadster, the Super Speedster keeps a low profile with cutdown windshield and side glass and smoothly arcing headrests integrated into the rear glass. In contrast, there is nothing “low profile” about the Super Speedster’s stunning Cherry Smash paint and My Favorite Blue leather interior. This is truly Callaway flair at its rarest and best.

1997 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CALLAWAY C12

F258

WIDE BODY CALLAWAY C12 SHOW CAR, DISPLAYED AT THE GENEVA AUTO SHOW, FORMERLY OWNED BY ELY CALLAWAY JR. Reeves Callaway’s late father Ely earned fame as the inventor of the “Big Bertha” golf club, so it seemed natural that he would be the first person on Earth to own the new-for-1997 Corvette Callaway C12 coupe. That very same car was a star of the 1997 Geneva Auto Show, introducing guests to an all-new Callaway based on Paul Deutschman’s design later shared by the GT2 polesitter at the 2001 24 Hours of Le Mans. While based on the C5 Corvette, the C12 incorporates German engineering contributed by Munich-based IVM Engineering, who designed the C12’s entirely new independent suspension, widened to 65 inches and supplemented with adjustable coilover shock

absorbers, vented disc brakes with ABS and 19x10.5-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero tires.

The result: race car stability and handling response.

The second part of the transformation is the car’s voluptuous carbon fiber and Kevlar body, a flowing shape that anticipated its future mission on the track with a wide rear deck to accommodate a full width spoiler and a broad lower rear valence to allow for underbody aerodynamics. Beneath that beautiful skin is what gives the Callaway C12 its snarling personality: Chevrolet’s LS1 346 CI aluminum V-8. Departing from the twin-turbo treatment, it is normally aspirated, but that does not mean stock. In addition to blueprinting, it

uses a strengthened bottom end, massaged heads and a special camshaft to achieve an honest 440 HP. Refinished by Reeves Callaway in Enzai Blue Metallic paint with a sumptuous Hermes Orange leather interior, this historically significant Callaway is also one of only two to include color-matching custom luggage. In 2012 this rare Corvette was on display at the National Corvette Museum alongside others from the Richard Berry Collection.

Based on a 1988 Chevrolet Corvette, the famous Callaway Sledgehammer was built by Callaway to exceed all existing top speed records and as a showcase for Callaway’s industryleading engineering expertise. For years the Sledgehammer owned the record as the fastest street-driven car in the world, having set the mark on October 26, 1988 when John Lingenfelter drove it to an incredible 254.76 MPH at the Transportation Research Center (TRC) in Ohio, an enormous facility with a 7.5-mile oval track. The record run occurred after the Sledgehammer was driven from Callaway headquarters in Old Lyme, Connecticut, to TRC. Rated at 898 HP and 772 lb-ft of torque, the balanced and blueprinted engine was hand built by Callaway Cars using a 4-bolt main NASCAR-spec GM “Bowtie” engine block, Mahle pistons on forged connecting rods, a special cam to enable both a docile drive around town and voluminous breathing at high engine speeds and Brodix aluminum heads for maximum power and durability. Extensive research was required to efficiently package the engine within the Corvette’s tight confines, which also were made to accept twin Turbonetics TO4B turbochargers, matching intercoolers

128 // FRIDAY

and all the plumbing necessary to make it all work.

Carroll Smith tuned the Sledgehammer’s suspension for high speed stability by relocating the lower control arms, reducing the car’s ride height by one inch. Koni shock absorbers were used in conjunction with 17-inch Dymag aluminum wheels wearing specially made Goodyear tires developed for the high speed run.

Inside the Paul Deutschman-designed Callaway Aerobody is a mostly stock interior modified for the high speed run with a leather-padded roll bar, 5-point harnesses and instruments for monitoring goings-on beneath the hood. And yes: it still has the factory air conditioning and sound systems!

Similarly to Lots F259 and F261 this piece of Corvette history was put on display at the National Corvette Museum in 2012.

In 2013 the Sledgehammer was inducted into the Bloomington Gold Great Hall, which “recognizes 50 people and 50 Corvettes that significantly influenced the Corvette Phenomenon” – a great honor for one of the world’s great Corvettes.

Callaway completed the 500th Twin Turbo conversion on September 26, 1991 and subsequently built another 12 cars with special badging and options; these were the Callaway 500 Series cars, also known as Speedsters for their special open body design by Paul Deutschman.

The Callaway was still the most powerful Corvette available, cranking a healthy 400 HP and 580 lbft of torque, well ahead of the ZR1’s output of 375 HP and 370 lb-ft. The Speedsters were a giant step up, endowed with 450 HP and 613 lb-ft of

Known as the “Mini Sledge” because of its similarity to the famous Callaway Sledgehammer, this 1991 Callaway Series 500 Twin Turbo is number 501, the first of the 500 Series cars and the only one finished in its unique Periwinkle Purple paint. Like the other Series 500 Twin Turbos it wears the unique Speedster body and O.Z. threepiece racing wheels, special 500 Series badges on the dash and under the hood on the driver’s side intercooler.

This 1991 Chevrolet Corvette Callaway Super Speedster LM is the second of only two so-called Series II Super Speedsters based on the ZR1 model. The offspring of collaboration between Corvette performance guru Reeves Callaway and designer Paul Deutschman, the Super Speedster LM is an astonishing step up on the original Speedster, taking full advantage of the ZR1’s Lotus-engineered, all-aluminum DOHC engine and 6-speed manual transmission. One of only three twin turbocharged and intercooled LT5 engines built

by Callaway, it delivers a pavementshredding 766 HP, making the car the most powerful of all the twelve Speedsters produced by the company.

More than “just” an incredibly wellengineered engine swap, the Callaway possesses engineering modifications to the suspension and driveline that fully complement its massive power output.

The Le Mans body is the only one used on a Speedster. Designed by Paul Deutschman, the Super Speedster LM is a unique combination of his brilliant Callaway Speedster and the dramatic and aerodynamically efficient Le Mans GT2 pole-winning Callaway LM racer.

Luxurious appointments abound in the LM’s interior, which features the

Lavishly finished in leather and suede with specially embroidered seats, it is fully equipped with comfort and convenience features that include air conditioning and Delco Bose stereo with CD.

1988 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CALLAWAY CONVERTIBLE

1 OF 125 RPO B2K CALLAWAY TWIN TURBOS, ORIGINAL CALLAWAY DOCUMENTATION The C4 Corvette had highly sophisticated engine management and fuel injection systems, ABS that produced astonishing braking and the ability to pull almost a full G on the skid pad, but Corvette’s Chief Engineer Dave McLellan believed that more power was always a good thing.

Knowing Reeves Callaway’s flair for turning stock Corvettes into twin turbocharged land missiles capable of 200 MPH (eventually increasing to over 250 in the famed Sledgehammer), McLellan authorized a factory listed Callaway RPO that ran from 1987 to 1991. Designated RPO B2K, the Callaway Twin Turbo option was originally offered at a cost of $25,895, limiting it to customers

with the means to afford almost the equivalent of two Corvettes. The Twin Turbo was available through select Chevrolet dealers; fully assembled Corvettes were shipped from the factory to Callaway’s Old Lyme, Connecticut, facility where technicians transformed the production engine with twin IHI water cooled turbos and air to air intercoolers. The car’s inherent sturdiness meant no drivetrain mods were required, and the only visual clues were Callaway badges and a boost gauge inside but its potency was there for all to witness. Rated at 382 HP and 562 lb-ft of torque, the Twin Turbo hit 60 MPH in 5 seconds flat and exploded to a top speed of almost 180 MPH. One

F262 of just 125 B2K Corvettes built, this White-onRed 1988 Callaway Twin Turbo convertible was used by General Motors to promote the Callaway option, a campaign that included an appearance in Playboy Magazine.

The first of only two built—the other remains in Reeves Callaway’s personal collection—it is the first car built completely by Callaway, its purpose being to showcase his company’s capabilities as a constructor of high performance automobiles. Designed

by Paul Deutschman to be the most powerful, lightest weight sports GT commercially available, the C7R GT1 has a power-to-weight ratio of 3.6 pounds per horsepower, exceeding such extraordinary cars as the McLaren F1 (4.0/HP) and the Ferrari F40 (6.0/HP).

Its aerodynamic design slices through the air while simultaneously generating high speed downforce that exceeds the weight of the car, resulting in superb handling and stability. This Callaway C7R GT1 was driven in the 1997 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, where it led its class. Its handling and aerodynamic performance left an enormous impression on drivers Ron Fellows, Johnny Unser, Boris Said and Enrico Bertaggia. In keeping with the C7R’s mission of winning endurance races,

Only five originals were built and 1,000 1996 Grand Sports issued, both facts certainly noted by the builder of this 1963 Corvette convertible that has been freshly Resto Modded using all-1996 vintage underpinnings.

C4 Grand Sport disc brakes are also employed, the Red calipers and vented discs visible behind 18x9.5inch front and 18x12-inch rear C6 Z06 aluminum wheels wearing Nitto NT555 rubber. With all that performance on tap, the builder made the most of the Sting Ray’s vintage appeal, finishing the car in new White paint with a Black Stinger on the big

1969 FORD MUSTANG BOSS 429 FASTBACK

KK #1735, 1 OF 857 BUILT, ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET AND TWO SHIPPING INVOICES Although Ford redesigned the Mustang in 1967 to accept the FE series of big block engines, they did not foresee using the pony car to homologate the new-for-1969 Boss 429 engine for NASCAR. The job of shoehorning the massive 429 into the tight confines of the Mustang’s engine compartment went to Kar Kraft’s Brighton, Michigan workshop. 428 Cobra Jet-equipped Mustangs were transported from the Dearborn assembly plant to Brighton, where the CJ engines were removed.

The shock towers and front suspension mounting points were relocated outward, the battery moved to the trunk and the hood opened to accept a large fiberglass air scoop; only then would the Mustang

accommodate the 429, which at 30 inches wide was a full 2 inches longer and 3 inches wider than even the FE427 that had powered the Cobra and the GT40. This 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 is one of only 857 built by Kar Kraft that year and carries production number KK1735. This Candy Apple Red Boss is equipped with a 3.91 TractionLok rear axle, competition suspension, power steering and power front disc brakes, a trunkmounted battery and Magnum 500 wheels. The car is accompanied by extensive documentation that includes one original build sheet, two original shipping invoices, and a Deluxe Marti Report. A complete engine rebuild was performed on the car

1957 AUSTIN-HEALEY 3000 MKIII CONVERTIBLE

F268

3000CC SIX CYLINDER ENGINE WITH TWIN CARBURETORS, 4-SPEED WITH OVERDRIVE For the final years of Big Healey production, the potent 3000 received substantially more power, while at the same time body choices narrowed down to just the most popular 2+2 Drophead Coupe. The MkIII BJ8 was equipped with twin SU HD8 carburetors to feed the 2,912cc straight-six, for 148 HP, a noticeable 12 percent bump over even previous triple carbureted models. Top speed was now close to a huge 122 MPH, probably faster than it was advisable to go on the tires of the time.

However, clicking on this car’s optional electric overdrive provides a welcome ability to cruise highways at much more relaxed RPMs. It’s easy to forget now, but the suspensions of sports cars of

the 1950s and 1960s were designed with rear-end steering in mind, and the Big Healey is very nearly the ultimate car in that regard. A confident and experienced driver will find the car a predictable partner in highly spirited driving. At the same time, a 3000 offers a true GT-style cabin. The interior, especially in a later car such as this, is wonderfully trimmed with a wood-handled wheel, expansive leather and soft touch fabrics; and a walnut instrument bezel with white on black gauges that is a model of understated elegance. Few affordable sports cars of the time could compete with the Big Healey’s ability to deliver luxury and performance in the same package. Chassis 42799 is a rust free

example that underwent a cosmetic restoration and reveals a single repaint in classic Healey white over red coves. A new top has been fitted for inclement weather, something the Healey’s English builders knew all about. The car presents very well with shiny brightwork and is very clean. A new owner will perhaps be faced with the enviable quandary of whether to keep it on the road and enjoy it as is; or perhaps consider bringing it into a condition suitable for Healey concours judging. Either way, the unmistakable, classic lines of the lowslung convertible Austin-Healey 3000 have made it the highly desired archetype of the English sports car, evergreen in its appeal around the world.

Narrower Hoosiers on polished Welds are used up front, and the underpinnings are completed with rack and pinion steering, adjustable coilover shocks, independent tubular A-arm front and 4-link rear suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes. PPG Vibrance Red paint with ghosted flames glows from the little Willys’ smoothed contours, carrying on inside where it meets with sculpted Golden Tan leather interior

and trunk upholstery. The presentation inside is exceptionally clean and tight, encompassing; a leather wrapped billet aluminum steering wheel sits atop a polished stainless tilt column and billet aluminum is used in the pedals, door handles and vent grilles. Auto Meter gauges, Vintage Air, a Pioneer AM/FM/CD sound system and a console mounted B&M shifter complete the picture.

2011 AVID MAGNUM ROADABLE AIRCRAFT

ONE-OF-A-KIND MOBILE BILLBOARD, 11,000 HOURS INVESTED IN THE BUILD, ALL LOG BOOKS AND RECORDS By narrow definition, the 2011 Avid Magnum Roadable Aircraft is “a hybrid vehicle that combines the flying capability of an aircraft with the option of being driven on the ground.” But to its builder, Landscape Architect Rick Johnson, the Avid Magnum also has enormous commercial potential as a mobile billboard able to deliver an advertiser’s brand or messaging practically anywhere accessible to ground and aircraft. Representing an investment of more than 8 years and 11,000 documented hours of design and build time, this fascinating hybrid’s repositioned landing gear uses 13-inch tires, rack and pinion steering with disc brakes. For road use, it is driven by a rear-mounted Suzuki 400cc 4-stroke water-cooled engine.

At less than half an hour, the transformation to flight readiness is simple and quick, and the operator

has the choice of sliding the motorcycle attachment forward on special rails to a position between the main landing gear for weight distribution purposes, or removing it completely. On the road, the Magnum is capable of speeds up to 65 MPH; when it’s time to slip the surly bonds of Earth, its 4-stroke Subaru engine takes it to 95 MPH. In addition to having separate driving and flight controls, it is fully instrumented for both applications, incorporating GRT multi-function flight display and a Fujitsu touch screen computer with Flight planning, Flight Director, Garmin Avionics, GPS mapping and WiFi capabilities. There is even a stereo sound system for in the air and while on the ground.

It is all these properties combined that make the Magnum Roadable Aircraft more than an aviation/ motoring novelty. As Rick Johnson explains, “It

F270

is also a mobile billboard that a corporation or entrepreneur can use to promote their business.

That’s the reason it’s painted white, to have it ready for a company’s logo or graphics. It’s an advertising investment that can be adapted to present any company’s message, whether it’s from above or cruising along Main Street USA.” With that mission in mind, the Magnum Roadable Aircraft is both a fully functioning airplane and street legal vehicle, with both FAA registration and air worthiness certificate and a valid Florida license plate that reads “FLYN CAR.” With that kind of built-in versatility, the Magnum Roadable Aircraft N10ZX is ready for service wherever the imagination takes it.

1957 CHEVROLET BEL AIR HARDTOP

ORIGINAL 283 CI V-8, CONTINENTAL KIT, ORIGINAL INTERIOR, PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION As distinctly American as baseball and apple pie, the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air was a contemporary success that has since taken on the status of a genuine cultural icon. When production delays forced Chevrolet Chief Engineer to use the ’55-’56 body style once again, he dictated all the changes that combined to make the ’57 the classic it has become, from the hooded headlights and weighty full width chrome front grille to the vertical tail fins, one of which craftily concealed the hidden fuel filler. This 1957 2-door hardtop coupe shows the Bel Air in its most elegant form. The result of a professional restoration completed without regard for expense, it is a particularly well

equipped car that retains its original 283 CI small block V-8 4-barrel engine while benefiting from a few well-chosen upgrades that contribute to the driving experience. Presenting in the very desirable combination of new Onyx Black paint and the original Red interior, it is stylishly accessorized with fender skirts, a smart-looking Continental kit, chromed dual exhaust tips and full size spinner wheel covers on Red steel wheels with new wide Whitewall tires; chromed door handle nail guards, twin outside mirrors and a rear antenna add further sparkle. In addition to featuring air conditioning and power steering, the car has been made safer with the a inclusion of power brakes and a dual

F272 circuit master cylinder replacing the original single unit. Inside, period touches such as an in-dash clock and below-dash tissue dispenser are joined by a custom sound system featuring an AM/FM radio with cassette player. Documentation includes the original owner’s guide, a 2007 appraisal and photographs.

1962 CHEVROLET BEL AIR BUBBLE TOP

F273

DUAL QUAD 409/409 HP V-8 WITH 4-SPEED AND POWER STEERING By the late Fifties the rise of the pushrod V-8 in production passenger cars made one thing abundantly clear: cubic inches ruled. It was natural then that the factories responded to each other’s escalating performance with that very recipe, and at the dawn of the Sixties Chevrolet laid down an historic marker with the big block W-head engine. Originally displacing 348 CI, it grew to 409 CI in 1961, establishing the archetypal muscle car as one with big block power and, more importantly, creating an American pop culture legend immortalized by the Beach Boys in their hit 1962 song “409.” This 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air embodies that legend at its most potent; an

improved block casting, larger valves, a higher compression ratio, solid lifter cam and dual Carter AFB 4-barrels combined to produce the magic number of 409 HP. The 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air “Bubble Top” coupe was carried over from 1961 even as other full-sized Chevrolets migrated to the convertible-look roof profile. The Bubble Top Chevy’s lighter weight and superior aerodynamics made it a favorite with drag racers who already knew the 409’s vast potential. Built in the fourth week of October 1962, this sinister-looking Bel Air Bubble Top 4-speed has been professionally repainted at a cost of $20,000, its Tuxedo Black paint complemented with matching station wagon

steel wheels with Firestone Blackwall tires and an Aqua bench seat interior. Evocative details abound, from its highly detailed engine compartment and undercarriage to the column-mounted tachometer and below-dash auxiliary gauges. Options include factory heater, power steering, AM radio and tissue dispenser.

1964 FORD GALAXIE 500 LIGHTWEIGHT

R-CODE 427/425 HP V-8, 1 OF 25 AUTOMATIC LIGHTWEIGHTS PRODUCED, FIBERGLASS HOOD On February 21, 1964, Ford Motor Company sent a memo titled “Availability of Ford products for 1964 drag events” to its District Offices, describing two vehicles suitable for numerous classes in NHRA competition: the “Super Stock 427 Fairlane tudor sedan” and the “A-Stock, a Galaxie 500 tudor hardtop with the 427 8V engine.” Like its smaller stable mates, the full-size Galaxies were all business, riding on lightweight chassis, devoid of creature comforts and packing Ford’s R-code 427/425 HP High Riser engine with dual Holley 4-barrel carburetors fed by forced air induction.

Delivered new to Vels Ford sales in Torrance, California, and sold to Allen Besselievre, Jr. in San

Diego, this 1964 Galaxie 500 Lightweight is one of 25 produced with the heavy duty automatic transmission and incorporates the fiberglass “teardrop” hood and Firestone Lightning drag slicks that identified these rare factory racers. It was later part of the Dick Bridges Collection and was fully restored in the original combination of Wimbledon White with a Red interior using lightweight Bostrum bucket seats, thin Black rubber floor mats and radio and heater delete. Ford authority and restorer Bob Perkins glowingly describes the car as “Unbelievable. You can’t duplicate how new the interior and undercarriage are, and the floor pans; the undercarriage looks like it’s never been

1967 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE RESTO MOD

SUPERCHARGED 427/815 HP, VIPER 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION, STREET SHOP CHASSIS WITH C4 SUSPENSION The popularity of Resto Modding has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, most notably in the world of Corvettes, where enthusiasts can build on the car’s already legendary performance history to answer each individual’s tastes. The builder of this outstanding 1967 Chevrolet Corvette coupe had a long list of requirements to produce a car that not only capitalizes on the mid-year Corvette’s timeless beauty but on the decades of technology that have culminated in today’s still-growing performance service industry. The ’67 Sting Ray’s coupe body is mounted on a quality Street Works tube chassis built to accept Corvette C4 all-wheel independent suspension and brakes. PPG Super

Jet Black paint was chosen for the beautifully polished exterior finish, which benefits from the inclusion of front and rear chromed bumpers, Billet Specialties 18-inch wheels and factory-style side exhaust; the look is clean with subtle splashes of color from the parking and taillights and the Red brake calipers. Sharp Brown hand-stitched leather adorns the interior, which offers customsculpted door panels and console, fitted carpeting throughout with matching leather-trimmed floor mats, Vintage Air, Classic Instruments electric gauges fed by an American Autowire aftermarket wire harness, modified Z06 seats and a padded billet steering wheel that matches the car’s custom

wheels. There is more to admire under the Stinger hood in the form of a brand new 427 High Output LS engine. Topped with a Magnusun supercharger and fitted with stainless steel headers and a Vintage Air Frontrunner belt drive, the LS engine winds a surreal 815 HP through the flywheel to a Viper 6-speed manual for breathtaking performance.

1955 CHEVROLET BEL AIR SEDAN RESTO MOD

CORVETTE Z06 LS6/405 HP V-8, POLISHED JAGUAR REAR END, VINTAGE AIR CONDITIONING Modern automotive technology has given today’s rodders and customizers the kind of sophisticated options and flexibility that earlier generations could only dream of, making unique machines like this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Resto Mod show and perform like never before.

Built in Hayward, California, it is the result of a frame-off restoration that has travelled a mere 100 miles since its completion. In the best Resto Mod tradition it combines the timeless styling of the breakout 1955 design with contemporary Corvette power in the form of a 2003 Z06 LS6 5.7L V-8, an all-aluminum powerplant producing 405 HP, here teamed with a Lokar shifted 4-speed

overdrive automatic transmission and another rodding favorite, a polished Jaguar IRS rear end.

The powder coated frame and rotisserie finished undercarriage is completed with tubular front A-arms mounting 2-inch drop spindles, power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes and a custom exhaust system with stainless steel tube headers and center-mount outlets. Low profile performance tires on Chip Foose alloy wheels enhance handling, while all new chrome and glass add extra flash to the car’s gorgeous two tone Candy Brandywine and Silver paint. The accommodations are also decidedly upscale. Superb Black upholstery evokes a period look, even to the extent of borrowing

F278 contemporary Corvette design cues in the seats and door panels, a theme repeated in the similarly finished trunk. Vintage Air, a polished tilt steering column, Dakota Digital instrumentation and a custom console complete this outstanding ’55.

1967 MERCURY COMET R-CODE 202 SEDAN

427/425 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, 1 OF 6 KNOWN TO EXIST, UNRESTORED WITH 2,000 ORIGINAL MILES The early success of Ford’s 427 CI engines on the nation’s drag strips continued through the mid’60s as the faster Super Stock racers began their transformation into radical factory experimental machines. Stock and Super Stock remained ripe for the picking, and Ford in 1967 delivered a new wave of cars using the 427 Medium Riser V-8. Mercury Division maintained its fearsome reputation with its own R-Code Comets, which certainly fit Mercury’s “The Man’s Car” advertising theme, employing the same 427/425 HP big block fitted with a high rise aluminum intake mounting dual Holley 4-barrels. Of the 60 R-code Comets built in 1967, only 22 used the 2-door 202 sedan

body. Original and unrestored, this humblelooking Black Comet 202 is one of just six R-code examples known extant today.

According to Ford expert and restorer Bob Perkins, it was sold new to playboy sportsman Zack Reynolds, heir to the Reynolds Tobacco fortune and a dedicated Ford enthusiast. Everything on the car is as it came from the Lorain, Ohio, plant, including its Black Super Diamond Lustre Enamel.

Rolling on Firestone Wide Oval Super Sport tires on painted steelies with hubcaps, it is factory optioned with a 4-speed, power front disc brakes, deluxe seat belts and Whitewall tires, and is the only R-code built with an AM/FM radio. This last feature is a

F279 point of particular interest, because the car has no external antenna; instead of mounting the factory unit, Reynolds installed one under the hood to keep it out of sight. Meticulously preserved by a well-documented series of dedicated collectors, this R-code Comet shows just 2,000 miles on the odometer and is considered by most experts to be the most original example in existence.

1967 AUSTIN-HEALEY 3000 MKIII CONVERTIBLE

F280

COMPLETELY RESTORED ONE OWNER WEST VIRGINA CAR WITH 18,053 MILES Derived from the original Austin-Healey 100 Six, the 3000 first appeared in 1959 with a larger 2.9L/124 HP inline six cylinder engine and front disc brakes. In 1961 the 3000 Mk II arrived with triple SU carburetors for an increase to 132 HP, but they proved tricky to tune and made no difference in the car’s performance, so the change was dropped the following year and the dualcarb arrangement returned along with a better gearbox and shifter. In 1962 the Mk II became the Mk II Convertible with the addition of a curved windshield, roll-up side windows and a fold-away soft top; two-seat models were dropped from production and the Austin Healey 3000 reached

its final configuration in the Mark III version, a 2+2 convertible with a 2.9L/148 HP inline six cylinder engine. The “Big Healey” was a tough, durable roadster ultimately capable of 120 MPH. It was also one of the most beautiful sports cars ever built in Britain or anywhere else, with racy, curvaceous styling that has held up extremely well over the ensuing years. That evaluation perfectly describes this exceptional 1967 3000 Mk III convertible showing a believed-actual 18,053 miles. A one-owner car from the friendly climes of West Virginia, it has been completely restored to its present as-new condition, finished in the very attractive mixture of Metallic Ice Blue paint, Blue

interior with White piping and Dark Blue fabric soft top. Purists will appreciate such details as the car’s Silver-painted Dunlop knock-off wire wheels and Road Speed RS5 tires, comfortable bucket seat cockpit with burled wood dash and the twin SU HD8-carbureted 3,000cc inline six cylinder nestled in the intricately detailed engine compartment.

1965 SUNBEAM TIGER MKI

ORIGINAL 260 CI V-8, 4-SPEED, LOS ANGELES TIGER 13 INCH ALUMINUM WHEELS The Sunbeam Tiger was a high-powered version of the Sunbeam Alpine introduced in 1953 by the Rootes Group of England. Realising the Alpine needed more power to compete around the world, Sunbeam approached Ferrari to develop its four cylinder engine, but talks eventually broke down, and the company turned to someone who knew all about making performance sports cars – Carroll Shelby. Shelby had his chief engineer, the sublimely talented Phil Remington, build a prototype for evaluation; another one was prepared by Shelby’s lead driver Ken Miles. The transplant was a close affair, but ultimately successful. As Shelby put it, “I think that if the figure of speech about the

shoehorn ever applied to anything, it surely did to the tight squeak in getting that 260 Ford mill into the Sunbeam engine compartment. There was a place for everything and a space for everything, but positively not an inch to spare.” This 1965 Sunbeam Tiger is one of the first generation Mark I cars that established it as a genuine terror on the street and in European and American sports car competition. One of 7,067 Mk I Tigers built, it is powered by the compact Ford Galaxie 260 CI 2-barrel V-8 and close ratio 4-speed manual transmission. It is finished in correct Carnival Red with a Black interior and Red piping and is in remarkable condition after a minor cosmetic

F281 restoration. A four-owner car whose story was chronicled in the September 1993 issue of Muscle Car Magazine, it also incorporates rare 13-inch LAT 4-spoke aluminum wheels with U.S. Royal Tiger Paw Redline tires, power front disc brakes, handsome Mahogany dash and steering wheel and a locking center console.

1974 DETOMASO PANTERA

351 CI V-8, 5-SPEED, TWO OWNER CAR WITH 7,600 MILES, ORIGINAL PAINT, INTERIOR AND TIRES Alejandro De Tomaso first entered into an association with Ford in 1963 when he began producing the Vallelunga, a mid-engined GT that used a Cortina engine. He was then approached

by Ford and Carroll Shelby to design a Cooperbased car to be sold under the Shelby name plate; the project fell through when Shelby turned to AC Cars of England instead (a story almost every automotive enthusiast knows by heart). De Tomaso next used Blue Oval engines in the elegant Mangusta coupe before once again teaming with Dearborn to produce the first real Italian-American supercar, the V-8-powered Pantera, which began selling from Lincoln-Mercury showrooms in 1970.

Although designed by American Tom Tjaarda (son of 1936 Lincoln Zephyr designer John Tjaarda), the Pantera’s distinctly Italian lines and American big bore powerplant made it highly attractive to American buyers looking for an exotic car without an exotic price tag. Introduced in 1972 and produced until Ford ended importation of the Pantera in 1975, the Pantera L also used Ford’s excellent 351 CI Cleveland engine and a 5-speed transaxle. This very rare, two-owner 1974 DeTomaso Pantera is unrestored and has been driven only 7,600 miles.

It is fresh from a 35-year history with a single owner. Almost everything on the car is original: the paint, interior, tires and glass; even the original

F282

owner’s manual and keys have been retained. This shining original is typically well equipped with power windows, air conditioning, ventilated power 4-wheel disc brakes and full gauges including a 200 MPH speedometer and 8,000 RPM tach.

427/390 HP V-8, AUTOMATIC, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND WINDOWS The last of the 1963-1967 “mid-year” generation, the 1967 Corvette was available with no fewer than four different versions of Chevrolet’s 427 CI big block V-8, accounting for a total of 9,707 of the 22,940 Corvettes sold that year. While many enthusiasts today count the 435 HP Tri-Power and full-race L88 versions as all-time favorites, the most popular big block engine was the L36 427/390 HP Turbo-Jet version that powers this well-preserved Sting Ray coupe. This is an exceptionally well-appointed example of the ’67 Corvette, which bore cleaner styling than previous years, mechanical upgrades such as 4-wheel disc brakes and interior improvements that included

redesigned seats and a relocated parking brake lever. In addition to side exhaust, power steering and vacuum assisted power disc brakes, the car features K66 transistorized ignition, a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission, Positraction, power windows, Soft Ray tinted glass, telescopic steering, speed warning, an AM/FM radio and Four Season air conditioning. While originally delivered with Whitewall tires, this handsome Corvette’s very sharp presentation now includes Redline tires mounted on finned aluminum bolt-on wheels. According to its present owner of 8 years, the car was repainted in 1990 in the original Silver Pearl with a Black Stinger by its

Driving first a Black Daytona Spyder (in reality a rebodied Corvette) and then a White Testarossa, Johnson’s character relied on his faithful Prancing Horses in a modern replay of earlier Westerns, usually in the same fashion as the latest weekly episode reached its climax.

It has been carefully maintained, recently receiving a scheduled engine-out major service that included replacing the timing belt and clutch and other repairs, all of which are noted in the car’s accompanying service and maintenance records.

Now showing 15,300 miles, it is fully documented; it remains 100 percent stock including the original tool kit and accessories, ready to add tremendous star power to any collection.

1970 OLDSMOBILE 442 CONVERTIBLE

455/365 HP V-8, MUNCIE 4-SPEED, W-25 RAM AIR HOOD, W-27 ALUMINUM REAR END COVER When GM management lifted the ban on engines over 400 CI in its 1970 mid-size cars, Oldsmobile leapt at the opportunity to create one of the alltime great American muscle cars. Advertised as the creation of the mythical Dr. Oldsmobile, the 442 convertible brimmed with the style and luxury for which the Division was rightly famous, while wielding the most powerful engine ever to appear in an Olds: the new 455 V-8. Packed with a heavy duty rotating assembly, and a radical high lift cam, it was fitted with free-flowing heads, an aluminum intake and a big bore Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel fed by twin scoops on a special fiberglass hood.

Hand assembled, balanced and blue printed, the

455 was rated at 365 HP and an astounding 500 lb-ft of torque. A meticulous frame-off rotisserie restoration was completed in 2013 on this Rally Red convertible, which sports a Black interior, Black power soft top with glass rear window, color-keyed Sport wheels with new radial tires, Red plastic fenderwells, chromed exhaust trumpets and Sport mirrors with diver’s remote. Behind its 455/365 HP are a 4-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end complete with W-27 aluminum cover. Heavy duty FE2 suspension, power steering and front disc brakes make the 442 a smart handler. One of 2,933 442 convertibles built in 1970, it is well appointed inside with a

F287 4-spoke Sport steering wheel, air conditioning, Soft Ray tinted glass, simulated burled wood trim, factory Rallye gauges with tachometer and the original AM radio. The original owner’s manual is included.

2002 CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL1

LS6/600 HP V-8, 6-SPEED, #60 OF 69 ZL1 CAMAROS BUILT BY GMMG AND THE ONLY NICKEY EDITION To Camaro faithful the 1969 ZL1 was the ultimate Camaro, employing the all-aluminum 427 big block V-8 of the same name to dish up big-block power with the handling agility of a small block car. When Chevrolet announced that the Camaro would bow from production after 2002, the GM Specialty Vehicles Group joined forces with GMMG Inc. – creators of the Dale Earnhardt Intimidator SS and other GM special editions, to revive the ZL1 badge on a limited edition Camaro that would do the original proud.

After consulting with numerous owners of original ZL1 Camaros, GMMG had the specifications for a limited run of 69 2002 ZL1 coupes. They adapted

the all-aluminum LS6 engine and heavy duty clutch assembly from the Corvette Z06, along with the Z06’s larger disc brakes, spoked aluminum wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. 4.11 gears were installed and the suspension was upgraded with Penske triple adjustable shocks, bigger sway bars and progressive rate springs to produce handling worthy of the car’s all-around performance heritage. Special graphics recall the Stinger hood and SS “hockey stick” stripes of old, and special ZL1 fender badges identified the cars as the new generation of Camaro supercars. If that was not enough, buyers could opt for the Stage III version, exemplified by this Rally Red coupe from the

F288

Richard Berry Collection. One of 37 Stage II cars, it uses the C5-R-based 427/600 HP behemoth and features a unique dash-mounted switch to open the headers and allow the engine to breath freely – and to roar like the original. The only Nickey Edition produced, this second-generation ZL1 is also signed under the hood by Fred and Helen Gibb, Ken Barnhart and others associated with the ZL1’s fascinating history.

2002 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS BRICKYARD PACE CAR SERIAL NO. 002, 35TH ANNIVERSARY WITH SPECIAL BRICKYARD 400 GRAPHICS Delivered to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the summer of 2001, the Brickyard 400 Track Cars were the first 35th Anniversary Camaro SS vehicles produced by Chevrolet. Available on the SS version in both coupe and convertible configuration, all were finished in Bright Red paint and fitted with an Ebony leather interior with medium Grey leather seat inserts. 35th Anniversary embroidery was featured on the front seat headrests. The cars were identified by two Silver stripes that flowed from the front valence up over the hood, faded to a checkered flag pattern and back to stripes on the trunk. Machined SS alloy wheels were included, as were a special front grille and rear valence panel,

and rear “trophy display” mats. This especially rare 35th Anniversary Camaro coupe is serial number 002 of a series of cars built for the 2001 Brickyard 400, where Camaro had been the featured ‘Festival Car’ since the inaugural race in 1994. In addition to its 35th Anniversary specification it wears a removable Black roof panel and special “Brickyard 400” graphics.

1996 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z28 BRICKYARD PACE CAR

326 MILES, 1 OF 4 CARS BUILT FOR OFFICIAL PACE DUTIES AT THE INAUGURAL BRICKYARD 400 RACE IN 1996 Almost three decades after the first Camaros led the field around the fabled Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Chevrolet built four specially equipped Camaros for official pace duties at the 1996 inaugural Brickyard 400. It was the 5th time Camaro had been chosen as the official Speedway pace car. This 1996 Camaro is one of the four Brickyard Pace Cars, which were replicated in 2007 in a special 30th Anniversary Edition. Chevrolet announced the cars would be built to 1997 mechanical specification, including the Z28’s 350 CI LT1 small block V-8 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission and performance rear axle. The Brickyard 400 Pace Car featured

special Arctic White paint on the body, mirrors and front fascia, White painted alloy wheels, a tinted glass roof panel, Hugger Orange striping and unique “Brickyard 400” and IMS graphics. A special spoiler was used on the roof ’s trailing edge for added stability and Goodyear Eagle Z-rated tires fitted to handle the high speeds required of the job. Recalling the earlier Pace Cars, the seats are fitted with White houndstooth upholstery and feature IMS logos embroidered into the seatbacks.

In keeping with tradition, the car is well equipped, offering power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, power windows, locks and driver’s seat, cruise control, electric outside mirrors

F290

and Delco Bose stereo. The car has been very well preserved, having been driven just 326 miles.
