2002 FORD THUNDERBIRD

3.9L V-8, CHROME WHEELS, WINDOW STICKER INTACT, DRIVEN 9 MILES SINCE NEW After several years out of production, the Ford Thunderbird returned to the market in its original two-seat sports convertible configuration, using a fuel-injected 32-valve DOHC 3.9L/252 HP V-8, 5-speed automatic transmission and allindependent suspension. While it was produced in 2002, this immaculate Thunderbird purchased new by the Salmon Brothers of Arkansas remains showroom original, with fewer than 9 miles on the odometer, and has the very desirable color combination of Torch Red with Black leather interior and Red accents. In addition to traction control, power steering and 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes, cruise control, power windows,

locks, tilt/telescoping steering column, and top; it features the premium 17-inch chrome alloy wheels and AM/FM stereo with in-dash 6-disc CD player. Furthermore, the original window sticker (which is still attached to the passenger side window) shows the car delivered from the Wixom, Michigan, assembly plant to Clinton Motor Company in Clinton, Arkansas, by rail with an estimated 23 highway MPG and an original MSRP of $39,750.

2002 FORD THUNDERBIRD

T205

3.9L V-8, CHROME WHEELS, DRIVEN 167 MILES SINCE NEW The “retrofuturistic” design from J Mays for Ford’s New Thunderbird had appeared as far back as 1999, and was clearly of the same school as Mays’ Concept One (New Beetle) and Audi TT. When it did go on sale a year late in 2002, new Thunderbird embraced the same personal luxury, grand touring mission as the original, with Lincoln’s LS platform underneath and a 252 HP aluminum 32-valve 3.9-liter V-8 underhood.

Sales were never strong, just over 68,000 sold over four years. The first year saw only five color choices, for which this car’s Inspiration Yellow was least common, only 3,749 produced, or 12 percent of production. Harking back both to the

‘50s and the pale yellow found on the original 1999 concept car, it was never offered again and accounted for 6 percent of all new Thunderbirds.

Thunderbird’s lovers immediately recognized that the car was a future collectible, and those with the means attempted to preserve them.

While not exactly common, examples with less than 10,000 or even 5,000 miles are readily available on the marketplace today. A few people, however, went the extra mile and this car is in showroom condition, showing 167 miles, with the original window sticker never removed and interior decals intact. A very unusual complete, color-keyed interior addresses the main

complaint about the first-year Thunderbirds, that it was plain and downmarket appearing.

Complementing the yellow hardtop, it includes a shifter knob, door inserts, a lower dash valence that flows into the console, upper and lower Nudo leather seat inserts and a steering wheel insert. More than any other modern car company, Ford Motor Company has been willing to take a gamble on low-production cars and trucks, but only Thunderbird stands out among muscle cars and pickups as a true new classic.

1956 CHEVROLET BEL AIR 4-DOOR HARDTOP

265 CI V-8, POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC, AACA SENIOR AND TWO-TIME PRESERVATION AWARD WINNER Among the seven Bel Air models available for 1956 was the new Sport Sedan, a pillarless 4-door hardtop that looked quite striking with the windows rolled down and allowed easy entry into the rear seat. The rear window treatment appeared to have its inspiration in the Chrysler Town and Country hardtops of the mid 1940s. The design worked exceedingly well on the new Bel Air 4-door, giving it an extra touch of elegance that this full-dress example builds on beautifully.

Chevrolet produced more than 103,000 Bel Air Sport Sedans compared to 128,000 2-door hardtops, and yet comparatively few exist today.

This stunning Sport Sedan has multiple awards to

T206

its credit, including the 1992 Antique Automobile Club of America Senior Grand National First Place Award and two Preservation Awards. A frame-off restoration was completed on this car over 20 years ago, a surprising fact belied by its spectacular presentation. Equipped with a 265 CI V-8 and power steering, its two-tone Matador Red and India Ivory paint is matched by the interior finish and nicely accented with factory wire wheel covers, wide Whitewalls and fender skirts.

1941 WILLYS COUPE STREET ROD

T207

SUPERCHARGED DUAL QUAD 406 CI V-8, SUPER T-10 4-SPEED, FIBERGLASS BODY The popularity of the classic gasser-style Willys has never waned, a fact that today translates into fabulous street rods such as this professionally built fiberglass-bodied 1941 coupe. Today the trend is toward the full-drop lowered look, which is achieved here starting with a sturdy custombuilt rectangular-section tube frame fitted with upper and lower tubular A-arms working with rack and pinion steering and dropped spindles up front. Adjustable coilover shock absorbers are used at all four corners along with vented disc brakes. No Willys is complete without a monster mill; this one uses a Weiand supercharged 406 CI Chevy with twin Holleys, polished aluminum

heads, Flowmaster dual exhaust and polished billet accessories, all in a sharply finished engine room with polished stainless steel inner fenders and firewall. An aluminum radiator aids cooling, and a Borg Warner Super T-10 4-speed with hydraulic clutch and Hurst shifter make the connection to the 4-link suspended Ford 9-inch third member.

Huge Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires mounted on deep-polished Weld Racing Outlaw aluminum wheels dominate the view from behind, with narrower pieces up front to emphasize the low-down look. House of Kolor Orange positively lights up the Willys’ Reubenesque body, which has been smoothed and shaved to make the most

of its basic form. The sculpted interior couches passengers in the comfort of Tan Ultra leather bucket seats with Ostrich inserts and features a molded headliner, a chromed steering wheel on a matching tilt column, Auto Meter White faced gauges in an embroidered dash, AM/FM/CD sound and remote entry.

1970 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS HARDTOP

T208

L34 396/350 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, DOCUMENTED WITH THE ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 is a genuine matching numbers Z25-code car equipped by the factory with the L34 big block V-8. Although these cars were marketed and sold under the SS396 designation, the engine displacement was in fact enlarged to 402 CI, with no other internal changes; specifications remained the same, and the L34 engines were still rated at 350 HP. The subject of a frame-off restoration, this 1970 SS396 coupe has all the features that made the model a premiere example of Chevrolet styling and engineering of the period. As per its CTX block code, this car’s L34 engine is teamed with a Muncie M21 close-ratio 4-speed and a 12-bolt

Positraction rear end with 3.31 gears, making the car ideal for any kind of driving, including highway cruising. F41 performance suspension, power front disc brakes and power steering are also part of the SS package. The iconic combination of Tuxedo Black paint with Black vinyl roof, White sport stripes and Black interior speak directly to the car’s “bad boy” image, one backed up by its performance. All the SS details are present, including Blacked out front grille and rear bumper insert, domed hood with cowl induction, hood pins, 5-spoke sport wheels with period correct Goodrich Radial T/A tires, bright wheel well moldings, twin rectangular exhaust

outlets and SS badges. The interior is classic SS fare, incorporating Strato bucket seats, round SS gauges including tach and clock, radio/cassette and tinted glass. This outstanding triple Black SS396 is documented with the original build sheet.

2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GRAND SPORT SUPERCHARGED LS3 V-8, AUTOMATIC, KARL KUSTOM BODY KIT Here is a car that turns the Resto Modding concept on its head to achieve the goal of combining the best of different generations. Rather than renewing an older classic with modern automotive developments, this is modern technology wrapped in vintage skin. More accurately, it is a completely stock 2013 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport coupe with its body panels replaced by professionallyengineered, top quality reproduction 1963 Sting Ray components manufactured and installed by Karl Kustom Corvettes of Des Moines, Iowa.

Beneath the skillfully rendered Sting Ray exterior, which features every detail of the original, including bumpers, grille, taillights - even the

T209

famous split rear window - is a completely whole, fully functioning Corvette Grand Sport coupe with all the qualities of that great C6 model: gobs of horsepower, superb handling and braking and a leather-lined two tone Red and Ebony cockpit that puts passengers in the lap of luxury, Grand Touring-style. Karl Kustom also kicked in the added punch of an Edelbrock E-Force supercharging system to give the car ZR1-grade power, making it a completely unique Corvette that mixes the new with the nostalgic in a way no Resto Mod can.

2003 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 24 HOURS OF LEMANS PACE CAR 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH SPECIAL LEMANS GRAPHICS AND FUNCTIONAL TRACK LIGHTS To honor the passing of 10 decades since its 1953 introduction, the Corvette was offered with an optional 50th Anniversary package available on coupes and convertibles. The package included special Anniversary Red “Xirallic Crystal” exterior paint, Champagne-painted aluminum wheels and center caps, special front fender emblems and a new specific Shale interior, which matched the light Grey-Beige seats and carpeting with darker tones in the console, instrument panel and upper door trim. The included 1SB Preferred Equipment Group added a memory package, electrochromic mirrors, head-up driver’s instrument display and power tilt-telescopic steering wheel. The new F55

Magnetic Selective Ride Control system optional on standard coupes and convertibles was also included. This system utilized magneto-rheological fluid containing suspended iron particles that reacted to computer-controlled electrical input to control shock absorber settings, affecting shock damping at a rate of 1,000 times per second. The 50th Anniversary package constituted a high performance and individualistic Corvette whose capabilities were perfectly well suited to the special duties performed by this 2003 Le Mans Pace Car, one of only two built for the rigors of pacing the world’s most grueling 24-hour endurance race.

Offered complete with the factory paint and

T210

badges and unique Le Mans Pace Car graphics, it is also fitted with the working roof-mounted track lights used during the race. This rare 50th Anniversary Corvette occupies a special place as one of only a handful of Corvettes designated to pace the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

1959 FORD FAIRLANE 500 SUNLINER

ORIGINAL 332 CI V-8, CRUISE-O-MATIC TRANSMISSION, FIVE YEAR FRAME-OFF RESTORATION Tthe pinnacle of unbridled excess from automotive designers was 1959. Unlike its rivals, Ford shunned garish styling gimmicks and instead let timeless elegance, strong V-8 power and solid engineering drive customers to showrooms. Motor Trend loved Ford’s focus on substance over visual stunts writing in 1959: “The outstanding feature of the Ford is the solid feel of the body. Doors close like bank vaults, and give the feeling of extreme rigidity and safety.” The retractable-hardtop Skyliner promoted media and public curiosity, but the identically styled soft top Sunliner was the top-shelf Ford customers actually wanted.

Lighter, faster, more reliable and 15 percent less

expensive, the Sunliner outsold the Skyliner nearly four-to-one in 1959. With a five-year nutand-bolt restoration documented with receipts and photos completed in 2013, this 76B Fairlane 500 Sunliner is a stunning example of one of the era’s best convertibles. Visually, the Sunliner looks showroom new with its correct C-code Wedgewood Blue paint, Blue convertible top and code 49 Blue interior. It is just as exceptional underneath, with a powder coated frame and NOS parts. The Sunliner’s rebuilt original 332 cubic inch V-8 produces a factory-rated 225 horsepower and is mated to the restored CruiseO-Matic transmission. A 2.91 rear end means

T210.1 effortless highway cruising, while power steering enables low-speed maneuverability. New wiring and stainless steel hydraulic lines ensure reliability for any type of travel. With only 500 miles on the car since restoration, the car has been shown by its Kentucky-based owner at Keeneland Concours in Lexington and Carl Casper in Louisville.

2003 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 24 HOURS OF LEMANS SAFETY CAR 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH SPECIAL LEMANS GRAPHICS AND FUNCTIONAL TRACK LIGHTS Corvette first paced the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race in 1999 as part of a Chevrolet strategy to reinforce the C5 Corvette’s image as a world-class sports car. As noted elsewhere, Corvette returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe in 2003 to celebrate its 50th anniversary by once again pacing the 24 Hours. This Anniversary Red 2003 Corvette coupe is one of four cars built as Official Safety Cars for the event. Like all standard Corvettes it is powered by the allaluminum LS1 346/350 HP engine backed with a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and a 3.42 rear end. In addition to its special 50th Anniversary paint, specific badges, wheels,

tach and speedometer displays, it carries the two-tone Shale interior reserved for this special model.

1960 AUSTIN-HEALEY BUGEYE SPRITE

UPGRADED 1275CC INLINE FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE WITH DUAL CARBURETORS AND 4-SPEED TRANSMISSION By the mid-1950s, British Motor Corporation’s classic MGs had grown from the small sporting roadster to the larger, Grand Touring-oriented MGA, prompting BMC to consider a new, small sports car that would satisfy buyers looking to return to basics. The tiny new Donald Healey-designed Sprite debuted in 1958 as the perfect complement to BMC’s larger MGA and Austin-Healey 100-6.

Riding on an 80-inch wheelbase, the Sprite was a simple two-seater using the first unitary body design in British sports car history, its one-piece flip-up front end hosting the “bugeye” headlights that instantly became its trademark feature. Sprites soon propagated on the race tracks of Britain, Europe

and North America, most notably at the hands of German-born British racer John Sprinzel, who won the 1959 British Rally Championship and prepared Sprites for competition for years afterward. This 1960 Austin Healey Sprite – VIN 33072 – has been extensively restored and prepared for high performance as can only be enjoyed in a Bugeye.

The original 948cc engine has been replaced with a 1,275cc inline four cylinder complete with dual carburetors and great-sounding custom exhaust – and mated to a 4-speed manual transmission.

A high-torque starter ensures the engine will turn over and fire up reliably hot or cold, and a high capacity custom aluminum radiator provides

T215

adequate cooling. Engine compartment finish is superb throughout, reflecting top workmanship and preparation that extends to the highly detailed undercarriage. The Sprite’s fanciful bodywork is wrapped in classic British Racing Green with White racing stripes and matching roundels and numbers.

Silver-painted Minilite wheels wearing Goodyear GPS2 performance radials, twin chromed outside mirrors, Black cockpit cover, a full-width roll bar and front bumper delete further add to the car’s racy vibe, and the new Black interior is complete with a wood-rimmed steering wheel and full gauges.

1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE RESTO MOD

LS3/525 HP V-8, TREMEC 5-SPEED, C6 CORVETTE SUSPENSION, BRAKES, WHEELS AND TIRES The mid-year Corvette has proven time and again that its classic design is the perfect starting point for a bold Resto Mod build up, and this flaming Red-on-Red 1966 convertible reminds us why. The Sting Ray body retains its stock configuration and trim, including the door handles, mirrors and badging that are often the first to go in such a project; even the hood and side exhaust are unmodified. The giveaways that something special is going on beneath the surface are the car’s large diameter chromed Grand Sport alloy wheels, Goodyear Eagle F1 tires and

T216

the massive cross-drilled Z06 power disc brakes inside. The suspension – including rack and pinion steering – is also C6 fare, polished and mounted in the custom tubular Street Rod chassis along with the LS3 427/525 HP engine, hydraulic clutch, new Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and Viper 3.55 rear end. It’s back to traditional Corvette inside, with the welcome addition of air conditioning by Classic Auto Air and power windows, locks and antenna.

1957 MERCURY TURNPIKE CRUISER CONVERTIBLE

T217

368/290 HP V-8, PUSHBUTTON AUTOMATIC, 1957 INDIANAPOLIS 500 PACE CAR REPLICA Even before Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony Hulman announced at the annual Pace Car Dinner his choice of Mercury to pace the 1957 500, the new Turnpike Cruiser was literally waiting in the wings; Mercury GM Jack Reith accepted the nomination in grand fashion, unveiling the Cruiser convertible to a crowd of automotive journalists on the morning of Hulman’s announcement. All the Turnpike Cruiser convertibles were exact copies of the first official vehicle. All were painted unique Sun Glitter Yellow and equipped with a Black Haartz cloth top, front fender turn indicators, a special illuminated trunk lid ornament and a

Continental spare kit. The cars also featured bold Silver tailfin coves spanning half the length of the car combined with bright metal trim and wheel arches to emphasize its extra length and add extra sparkle to the Turnpike Cruiser wheel covers, rear bumper pod reflectors and huge front grille.

Sun Glitter Yellow and Black vinyl upholstery decorated the equally daring interior, which also sported a Black padded dash, a tach and a special clock that displayed elapsed time and miles traveled. On the passenger side of the dash was a silver “1957 Indianapolis 500 pace car” plaque.

The Cruiser’s mechanicals consisted of Mercury’s 368/290 HP V-8, a pushbutton Merc-O-Matic

transmission, power steering and power brakes.

One of fewer than 200 thought to exist today, this meticulous Turnpike Cruiser Pace Car purchased from a Northern California estate was previously a Texas car. Still retaining its original engine and transmission, it was refinished less than a year ago in a slightly brighter shade of Sun Glitter Yellow and wears new chromed bumpers front and rear.

1969 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

L71 427/435 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, TRIPLE BLACK WITH SIDE EXHAUST In 1969, Chevrolet offered a plethora of engine configurations for the Corvette when they introduced the 350 CI small block in both 300 HP and 350 HP versions. The big block 427 CI V-8 remained an option from 1968 (before disappearing 1970) and was available with 390 HP, 400 HP, 430 HP or 435 HP; the latter featured in this stunning convertible Stingray. Frame-off restored to its original color combination of Tuxedo Black paint, a Black soft top and Black Custom leather interior this 1969 Corvette convertible is highly desirable.

block engine backed with a Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission and 3.36 Positraction rear end. Typical of these monster-motored beasts, it is a straight-up driver’s machine with standard steering and brakes and side mount exhaust, and is lightly optioned with Soft Ray tinted windshield, Rally wheels with Redline tires, headrests and an AM/FM radio. Restored several years ago, this Corvette remains in excellent overall condition.

1969 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS

L78 396/375 HP V-8, AUTOMATIC, FRAME-OFF RESTORATION TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS The overall presentation of this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 coupe is the excellent result of a frame-off restoration to factory specifications by GM muscle car specialists Thornton Autoworks of Telford, Pennsylvania. It is powered by its original, matching numbers L78 396 CI big block V-8, the top powerplant available in 1969 mid-size Chevrolets. The L78 employed 4-bolt mains, forged steel rods, 11.0:1 domed aluminum pistons, a solid lifter cam and a Holley 4-barrel atop a dual plane aluminum intake manifold to deliver 375 horsepower at 5,600 RPM, providing the foundation for the Chevelle’s reputation as one of the greats of the first muscle car era.

Both the engine and the car’s Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed transmission have been rebuilt, and the 4.11 Positraction rear axle also overhauled as part of the restoration. This impressive SS coupe is painted in Tuxedo Black and is sharply finished with contrasting Red body side stripes, chromed Super Sport 5-spoke wheels with Firestone Wide Oval tires and chromed dual exhaust tips.

The Black interior is an SS enthusiast’s dream, highlighted with Strato bucket seats and center console, factory SS-specific gauges with 7,000 RPM tachometer and an AM push button radio.

Optional extras include power steering and power front disc brakes, Soft Ray tinted windshield and

T219 dual chrome outside mirrors. Driven only 35 miles since its restoration, this iconic big block Chevelle SS coupe is nicely detailed and ready to enjoy at shows and on the open road.

1957 CHEVROLET 3100 PICKUP

283 CI V-8, 4-SPEED, PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION The 1950s were a wonderful time for Detroit’s automakers, especially General Motors. The automotive giant had decades previously invented the Styling Department concept, placing design on a par with engineering and elevating styling chief Harley J. Earl and Chevrolet’s chief engineer Ed Cole to the very apex of the industry at the dawn of the decade. Both took a deep interest in the redesign of Chevrolet’s light truck line scheduled for 1955, because the goal was to introduce car-like styling to what was traditionally a highly useful albeit

stodgy appliance. Earl’s design ethos reached down even into the new truck designs, resulting in the new pickups with wraparound windshields, more integrated body work, hooded headlights, and a prominent angle-sided front grille, all the work of 25-year-old future star Chuck Jordon. The design remained unchanged until 1958, but it remains a classic today. This 1957 3100-series pickup is a factory V-8 version professionally restored from the ground up after being thoroughly disassembled. Presenting with laser straight sheet metal and handsome

T220 Metallic Grey paint, it is powered by a period correct 283 CI V-8 mated to the factory 4-speed manual transmission. Dressed with chromed bumpers, dual outside mirrors, all new glass and chrome trim and wide Whitewalls on painted wheels with bright trim, it also sports luxurious custom Ivory leather upholstery, plush floor carpeting and rebuilt gauges adapted to the truck’s new 12-volt electrical system.

Driven just 100 miles since completion, this is a tasteful restoration of Chevrolet’s timeless “Task Force” generation pickup.

396/375 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, HIGHLY OPTIONED FACTORY BLACK CAR Built at the Baltimore, Maryland plant in February 1967, this sleek 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 2-door hardtop coupe reminds us why these cars were among the handsomest of their era, as well as among the most muscular. A genuine 138-code factory Super Sport, it is powered by a thumping 396 CI big block V-8 built to L78 specifications and teamed with a Muncie 4-speed, both restored to factory standards. In fact it has been completely restored from top to bottom, both cosmetically and mechanically, and is highly detailed and fully sorted. The car’s rare code AA Tuxedo Black paint is not only correct but is of show quality, and panel fit far exceeds factory standards. The same can be

said of the exterior trim – stainless, glass, lights and chrome – all in exquisite condition. This well-equipped SS incorporates power steering and front disc brakes, a Teakwood steering wheel and tilt column, bucket seats with console and clock, SS gauges including the aptly-named “blinker” tach, headrests, AM/FM radio, Rally wheels with Redline tires and bumper guards.

1948 CHEVROLET FLEETMASTER CONVERTIBLE

216 CI INLINE SIX CYLINDER ENGINE, 3-SPEED, COMO BLUE WITH RED LEATHER INTERIOR Post World War II Chevrolets were offered in three different trim levels: the Stylemaster was the base offering, the Fleetmaster was the mid level trim and the top of the line was the Fleetline.

1958 CHEVROLET IMPALA HARDTOP

348 CI V-8, POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC, FACTORY CODE 900 ONYX BLACK The Impala badge first appeared in 1956 on a full size Corvette-themed Motorama show car that bore an innovative roof treatment with a backward angled C-pillar and rounded rear window. While the concept never made it past the show stage, several features, including the new rear window design and distinctive side spears, made it into production in the newly-minted 1958 Chevrolet Impala. Positioned at the top of the passenger car line above the popular Bel Air, the new Impala featured Chevrolet’s first-ever quad headlights above similarly designed turn signal lights located in a clean mesh grille. The previous year’s vertical fins and single taillights

gave way to more voluptuously sculpted fenders and the triple taillights that would soon become an Impala trademark. This fresh new design could be ordered with a variety of 6- and 8-cylinder engines, the most powerful being the new 348/250 HP 4-barrel V-8 powering this sharp-looking Impala 2-door hardtop, which also incorporates a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission.

Notably, this Impala’s engine bears the 1958-only casting number with an A-15-5 code (January 15, 1958) and T1117G stamp, verifying it is correct to the car. Refinished once in its original code 900 Onyx Black and showing 40,302 miles, it boasts a sparkling new Black bench seat interior

T225 with Turquoise, Black and White trim inserts.

Upgraded with a new sound system and featuring a rare vacuum cigar ashtray, it is nicely turned out with wide Whitewalls, spinner wheel covers, fender skirts and a driver’s side spotlight.

1966 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS CONVERTIBLE

396/325 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, FRAME-OFF RESTORATION, DOCUMENTED WITH THE PROTECT-O-PLATE In 1966 Chevrolet redesigned the increasingly popular mid-sized Chevelle with new front and rear styling and a tunnelled roof, creating a more contoured shape that predicted future GM styling successes. The SS396 became a separate model, visually distinguished by a Blacked-out grille and rear tail light panel, simulated side-facing hood intake grilles, sill and fender moldings and SS badging. The most serious difference from the standard Chevelle, of course, was the SS version’s 396 CI big block engine that powers this impressive 1966 SS convertible. A frame-off restoration finished in Regal Red with a Black interior and contrasting White top, it features a matching

1971 FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 FASTBACK

429/370 HP COBRA JET V-8, C6 AUTOMATIC, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, RARE COLOR COMBINATION While still maintaining a strong identity, the 1971 Mustang received a complete restyling and increased in overall size to accommodate the latest addition to the already sizeable engine lineup: the 429 CI Cobra Jet V-8. A combination of the 429/460 block that served as the basis for the Boss 429 and heads similar in design to the 351 Cleveland, the 429 Cobra Jet came with a forged rotating assembly riding in 4-bolt mains; 11.3:1 compression, cavernous ports and large valves, a hydraulic cam similar to the Boss 429’s and a Rochester 4-barrel carburetor. Horsepower was rated by the factory at 370, with a torque rating of 450 lb-ft. Performance was astounding, especially

T228

considering that the horsepower and torque ratings of the Mach 1’s crosstown rivals were receding. Equipped from the factory with the 429 Cobra Jet engine and a C6 automatic transmission, this Arizona-based 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is painted in eye-catching Grabber Green Metallic paint with Black graphics, front and rear spoilers and chromed Magnum 500 road wheels with Firestone Wide Oval tires. It has been retrofitted with a correct Ram Air system for improved performance.

If there is a Cadillac of motor coach, it is without question Prevost.

The 86-year-old coach builders are renowned for the quality not only of their interior fitments, but their mechanical construction, as well. The sky – and your budget – are the only limits for a Prevost interior and with a staggering sticker of over $1.5 million when new, this VIP transporter is a member of the mile-high club. Stainless steel, aluminum and black marble and granite dominate a designer interior that features a slide-out adult beverage center, entertaining area with couches and a kitchen, bathroom and a master suite. Both the master suite and salon offer driver’s side Vantare Super Slide-Outs for superb entertaining and living room. One 42-inch plasma display deploys from the ceiling in the salon, with another in the master suite.

Vantare controls also operate interior lights, a Bose media system and shades.

For all-weather comfort, a pressurized, multi-zone full vehicle HVAC system features quadruple 16,000 BTU Corsair reverse air units and full-vehicle AquaHot heating. Exterior entertainment and comfort amenities include multiple passenger-side awnings, a second entertainment system, washer and dryer, chest freezer and main 17.5

The engine’s DDEC V controller is further upgradeable for additional power output, if needed. Those who know the Detroit Diesel’s many strengths will appreciate this engine’s pairing with an Allison B500(R) 6-speed transmission with retarder, for a truly all-American vehicle.

A 20,000-pound hitch means you can tow a full-size trailer and keep greasy tools out of the cabin. Prevost still makes the H3-45, and Featherlite Vantare still offers their extraordinary up fitting, speaking to the enduring appeal of this great American motor coach.

1969 FORD MUSTANG GT COUPE

Q-CODE 428 CI V-8, 4-SPEED, UPGRADED DUAL QUAD HOLLEY CARBURETORS, RARE BIG BLOCK MUSTANG GT COUPE From its introduction in 1965 until it bowed out after 1969, the popular GT Equipment Group was one of the best bargains on the Mustang’s option roster, offering unique GT stripes, gas cap and hub caps, pin-type hood latches and heavy duty suspension. Even so, in its last year only 6,694 Mustangs received the GT package. As most of those were Sportsroof models, this eye-catching GT coupe is a rare find by that fact alone. But there is much more at work in this Indian Fire Metallic coupe, most importantly under the Blacked-out hood, where lurks a genuine Q-code 428/335 HP Cobra Jet engine, the top production engine in the Mustang lineup whose high strength bottom end

and excellent breathing turned the Mustang into a drag strip record setter. Also equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, power steering and power front disc brakes, the car is one of only 42 with this car’s engine and transmission codes; adding to that exclusivity are numerous “Day 2” over the counter Ford performance pieces, including an aluminum dual quad intake manifold with twin Holley 4-barrel carburetors, Cobra finned aluminum air cleaner and valve covers and a Boss 429-style trunk-mounted battery. The Black interior is a straightforward affair with the optional Visibility Group, remote-control driver’s mirror, AM radio, 8,000 RPM tach and

wood-rimmed Shelby Cobra steering wheel.

1956 OLDSMOBILE 98 STARFIRE CONVERTIBLE

324 CI ROCKET V-8, JETAWAY HYDRA-MATIC TRANSMISSION, CONTINENTAL KIT Oldsmobile first used the Starfire name on a one-off show car at General Motors’ 1953 Motorama auto show held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. Named after the Lockheed F-94 jet fighter plane, the Starfire dream car was a fiberglass-bodied convertible with a 220 HP Rocket V-8 engine, a wraparound windshield and regal bearing. The Starfire name reappeared on the convertible version of the 1954 Oldsmobile 98, which was introduced a year early to keep demanding postwar shoppers coming into Oldsmobile showrooms. The Starfire name was dropped after 1956, the year this supremely stylish Red-on-Black Starfire convertible first

T231

emerged from Lansing. This car is powered by Olds’ top-of-the-line powerplant for 1956, the 324 CI Rocket V-8 engine with 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust, backed by the Jetaway HydraMatic 4-speed transmission, all standard fare in the Starfire along with power steering and brakes, power windows and seat, power top and one of the best-looking auto interiors of the era.

The overall appearance of this exceptionally rare Starfire convertible is enhanced by fender skirts, chromed wire wheels with wide Whitewall tires and a Continental spare tire kit.

1956 CHEVROLET 210 RESTO MOD

BIG BLOCK 572 CI V-8 WITH VINTAGE AIR CONDITIONING, CUSTOM PAINT AND INTERIOR This stunning, professionally prepared 1956 Chevrolet 210 2-door Resto Mod was built by B&T Custom Rod and Restoration in Nevada to showwinning standards. Festooned in spectacular House of Kolor “Tangelo Orange” and Lexus White paint, it rides on 20-inch polished billet wheels by Milanni wrapped in low profile Toyo rubber, with just a hint of nose-down attitude.

A polished “bug-catcher” scoop announces the 572 CI GM crate engine employing a dual feed Holley 4-barrel, aluminum intake, stainless steel braided hoses, HEI ignition, Doug’s big tube headers and a serpentine belt system.

Cranking out over 600 HP through a Lokar-

shifted automatic to a Ford 9-inch rear end, it shares the highly detailed engine compartment with a Vintage Air compressor, power brake booster, a heavy duty radiator, A/C condenser and transmission cooler, all beautifully finished in either chrome or highly polished aluminum.

The interior has received a complete makeover as well, boasting handsome Tan soft-touch leather upholstery, bucket seats, a custom console and contrasting Brown carpeting. Billet aluminum is used throughout, from the steering wheel and pedals to the grooved and polished dash insert.

An Ididit chromed steering column, White faced Classic instruments, column-mounted

T233 tachometer almost complete the controls, but there is one additional detail: the billet aluminum switch below the dash, which actuates solenoids to open the electric exhaust valves beneath the car, changing the exhaust note from a satisfying big-block grumble to an earth-shaking basso profundo throb. That’s not the only feature below decks that will earn a judge’s appreciation, for the entire undercarriage is as beautifully finished as the rest of this multiple Hot August Nights trophy winner.

1968 FORD MUSTANG GT FASTBACK

T235

428/335 HP COBRA JET V-8, 4-SPEED, GT EQUIPMENT, DELUXE MARTI REPORT Few cars made waves in 1968 like the new Cobra Jet-powered Mustangs. The model was announced on April 1, 1968, but it was no laughing matter to the competition, especially in the Super Stock ranks at that year’s NHRA Winternationals, where production prototype Cobra Jet Mustangs had already annihilated the competition. Based on the production 428 passenger car engine, the Cobra Jet featured larger valves in free-flowing heads, the 427’s race-proven low-rise aluminum intake manifold and functional Ram Air. Rated at 335 HP but actually producing closer to 400, the Cobra Jet option was only available with the GT Equipment Group, power front disc brakes and

staggered rear shocks in 4-speed cars such as this beautiful Wimbledon White 2+2 Fastback. Built at the Dearborn assembly plant on May 27, 1968 and sold new at Connor Ford Sales in Rockport, Indiana, it was produced with a 4-speed manual transmission and a Traction Lok rear end with a tall 4.30 gearset that has been changed to a more flexible 3.50:1 ratio. The car was recently restored and refinished as original, incorporating a Black Crinkle and Kiwi vinyl interior with bucket seats, floor-mounted shifter and GT gauges, including an 8,000 RPM tachometer. Exterior Gold body side stripes, front grille mounted fog lights, GT flip-open gas cap and 5-spoke chromed styled

steel wheels are part of the GT Equipment Group.

A Deluxe Marti Report details the entire build history of this magnificent Cobra Jet Mustang and documents its rarity in a year when Ford built a total of over 317,000 Mustangs.

1955 CHEVROLET BEL AIR SEDAN

ZZ 383/425 HP V-8 CRATE MOTOR, RICHMOND 5-SPEED, VINTAGE AIR CONDITIONING Just as Henry’s 1932 Ford has become a hot rodding icon, the 1955 Chevrolet serves today as a universal object of the Resto Modder’s passions.

This top award-winning 1955 Bel Air 2-door sedan illustrates the point in a well-conceived and artfully rendered show piece. It appears outwardly quite stock, and pleasingly so with its two-tone Red and Black paint arrangement and gleaming new chrome, bright trim and glass, with chromed Cragar SS wheels and Blackwall tires establishing a late ‘60s period look. The Red and Black interior mixes traditional pleated upholstery and the stock dash and controls with a Classic Instruments gauge cluster, and the trunk

repeats the same finishing treatment. With a smoothed firewall serving as the backdrop, the Chevy’s roomy engine compartment is home to a GM Performance ZZ 383/425 HP crate engine fitted with an Edelbrock high rise intake with dual quads, Sanderson headers, aluminum accessory brackets and air cleaner. A Griffin aluminum radiator provides more than adequate cooling for the powerful small block, while a Vintage Air system ensures a comfortable ride inside. Every single surface under the hood is either chromed, polished or finished in more gleaming Red paint.

Behind the ZZ engine a Richmond 5-speed sends power back to a stock rear end. MSD ignition,

power front disc brakes, a hidden wiper motor and battery, power front windows and deleted vent windows are just a few more of the great details in this show-quality ’55 Bel Air.

1958 DODGE SWEPTSIDE PICKUP

ORIGINAL 315/204 HP V-8, PUSHBUTTON AUTOMATIC, VERY LOW PRODUCTION Although it looks quaint and charming to the contemporary eye, the 1957-59 Dodge Sweptside pickup was a daring design for its time. Dodge was left wanting when Chevrolet introduced its smooth-fendered Cameo Carrier in 1955. Another blow hit when Ford announced the creation of the Ranchero, a utility vehicle derived from the full size Ford Custom passenger car. Although Dodge knew sales of the Cameo Carrier were below projections, management plowed ahead with plans for its own version of a pickup with passenger car styling. The solution was proposed

by Dodge’s Special Equipment Group, a fleetfooted team of innovative engineers whose

specialty was outfitting Dodge trucks as requested by customers. Whatever the buying public wanted, it was the Special Equipment Group’s job to make it happen. In the case of the Sweptside, the challenge was taken up by SEG’s Joe Barr, who had a standard long-wheelbase Custom Cab half-ton pickup with the fenders and rear bumper from a station wagon. Bright full-length body side trim, two-tone paint, wide Whitewalls and full sized wheel covers finished the job. The Sweptside entered production in 1957, but with a retail price that was 30 percent higher than the regular pickup, low sales put an end to the model after 1959. This 1958 Sweptside pickup is one of fewer than 50

T238 known extant today. It has been faithfully restored in Blue and White with a matching two-tone interior, it is powered by its original 315/204 V-8 engine mated to a pushbutton operated LoadFlite 3-speed automatic transmission and well optioned with driver’s door arm rest, headliner, heater and windshield washers.

ORIGINAL TRI-POWER 389/348 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, DOCUMENTED WITH THE CAR SHIPPING ORDER In 1964 Pontiac broke GM’s corporate mandate against engines larger than 330 CI in mid-sized cars. Pontiac GM John DeLorean hoped to sell 5,000 copies of the new 389-powered GTO; by year’s end the number had surpassed 32,000 cars, and the first muscle car era had begun. One of just 6,644 GTO convertibles built that first year, is a fully documented example that was built at the factory with the 389 CI Tri Power-equipped engine producing 348 HP and a thrilling 428 lbft of torque through a Muncie M20 4-speed and 3.23 Safe-T-Track rear end. Its Grenadier Red paint and Parchment interior are not only correct, but a very attractive combination completed

T239

to impeccable finish inside and out. A certain amount of luxury has always been part of the GTO formula; this GTO is one of the pioneers of that tradition with optional extras that include deluxe wheel covers, back-up lights, an outside rear view mirror, complete Soft Ray tinted glass, tachometer, front and rear floor mats, push button radio with rear speaker and an interior dome light.

235 CI INLINE SIX CYLINDER ENGINE, 3-SPEED ON THE COLUMN, RARE FIRST SERIES While Chevrolet introduced its new generation of passenger cars on October 28, 1954, the division’s redesigned line of light trucks was not ready until March 1955. In the meantime Chevrolet continued building the 1954 trucks, referred to as “First Series,” with practically no changes but for two significant mechanical improvements: a Hotchkiss open driveshaft and a revised 3-speed synchromesh manual transmission, both of which were carried over to the new models. Like its 1954 predecessor, the 1955 3100 pickup had a curved one-piece windshield in place of the older two-piece unit, increased cargo capacity thanks to steppeddown rear frame rails and higher box sides. Fans

of these final-year First Series 3100 pickups will certainly appreciate this very rare single-family example that has been given a comprehensive body-off restoration. It boasts Chevrolet Tan paint with contrasting Black fenders and roof over ultra-straight sheet metal, and features a completely rebuilt cargo box with a varnished Oak floor and matching fences. An exterior windshield sun shade and side window shades add more style to complement the contrasting Red painted wheels, chrome trim rings and hub caps and wide Whitewall tires. Correct colors were used in refinishing the interior, which also incorporates a new seat, dash and gauges. Chevy’s workhorse 235

1952 CHEVROLET 3100 5 WINDOW PICKUP

235 CI INLINE SIX CYLINDER ENGINE, 3-SPEED ON THE COLUMN, LIFELONG CALIFORNIA TRUCK Chevrolet answered the postwar need for new working trucks with a clean-sheet design intended to maintain their famous utility while making the driving experience more like that of a passenger car with a more spacious and comfortable interior. In keeping with the flowery marketing language of the period, the pickups were dubbed “Advanced Design;” specifically, the new cabs employed “Unisteel Battleship” construction and were larger in overall dimension than before. The doors were larger and used concealed hinges, a full length (and for the first time, adjustable) bench seat accommodating three passengers replaced the old single seats, and “Observation Car Vision”

was enabled by larger windows all around. True interior styling made its first appearance along with improved such mechanical conveniences as interior door locks, a larger diameter steering wheel, new steering geometry for decreased effort, full instrumentation, radio and glovebox and better pedal positioning. This classically styled 1952 3100 Series pickup is a lifelong California resident that presents entirely as new as a result of a highly detailed frame-off restoration. Its laser-straight all-steel body is finished in Regatta Blue, one of the most attractive GM colors of the period, here complemented with a contrasting varnished wood cargo box floor and side rails,

T243

a chromed front grille and chromed front and rear bumpers. The interior is entirely restored, including the seat, steering wheel and dashboard.

1956 CHEVROLET 3100 DELUXE PICKUP

235 CI INLINE SIX CYLINDER ENGINE, 3-SPEED MANUAL WITH OVERDRIVE, FRAME-OFF RESTORATION By 1954 Chevrolet’s so-called “Advance Design” light pickup trucks were not looking so advanced against new entries from Dodge and Ford, but help was on the way in the form of Chevy’s new “Task Force” pickup trucks. Unveiled on March 25, 1955, the new trucks were unlike anything that preceded them, and with good reason. Public tastes in vehicles were changing, most notably in the demand for more car-like styling, and no other light pickups answered that demand as thoroughly as the new Chevrolets.

There was a direct family resemblance between the trucks and the division’s new passenger cars, which shared wraparound windshields, eggcrate

A frame-off restoration performed with great attention to detail throughout, it features exceptional sheet metal and paintwork and quality chassis detailing.

The cargo box has been restored with fresh Oak flooring and stainless steel cargo strips, and the exterior brightwork is exceptionally fresh. This South Carolina pickup is powered by Chevrolet’s time-honored inline-6 engine and a 3-speed manual transmission with rare overdrive. There is plenty of car-inspired flash to further bolster

1957 FORD THUNDERBIRD E-CODE

DUAL QUAD 312/270 HP V-8, PORTHOLE HARDTOP AND TONNEAU, FRAME-OFF RESTORATION Ford’s highly successful Thunderbird entered its third year of production in 1957 with more power from the new “Y-block” 312 CI V-8, offering two versions. The so-called E-Code featured dual inline 4-barrel carburetors and was rated at 270 HP, a significant increase over the previous year’s top rating of 215 HP. The new car’s styling was freshened as well, incorporating an integral front bumper and more prominent rear fins in a package still lauded by Thunderbird aficionados as probably the best in the model’s history. This 1957 Thunderbird convertible employs the E-Code 312/270 HP engine with a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission and

benefits from some key improvements. A frameoff restoration was performed on the car by the previous owner in 2005, when it was refinished in the original combination of Colonial White with a Red interior, a truly elegant pairing made even better with the choice of White soft top (mounted on the factory original swing bar behind the seat), White porthole hard top or Red factory tonneau cover. In addition to all new chrome, the car is fitted with chromed Kelsey Hayes wire wheels with spinner center caps and wide Whitewall radial tires for a superior ride. Power steering is featured along with an upgrade to an electric fuel pump, and there is a treat for music lovers in the

T245 form of an aftermarket Thunderbird AM/FM radio with trunk-mounted 10-disc CD changer and powerful speakers.

1957 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

DUAL QUAD 283 CI V-8 WITH 4-SPEED TRANSMISSION AND AUXILIARY HARDTOP Corvette horsepower took a significant leap forward in 1957 with more engine choices and more cubic inches, and the previous year’s arduous racing development translated into better, more durable suspension, brakes and drivelines. This 1957 convertible is powered by its original dual quad-equipped 283 CI small block V-8 – one of two variations offered that year – and a 4-speed manual transmission, in this case fitted with a stock-appearing Hurst shifter for crisper gear changes. This was also the last year of the first generation featuring dual headlights before quads arrived in 1958. Fans of this car’s iconic color combination of Onyx Black with Silver coves

T245.1

and a Red interior will appreciate that the paint is almost completely original but for a repaint of the nose section. This collector quality C1 also comes with both soft and auxiliary hard tops.

1965 CHEVROLET MALIBU RESTO MOD

468 CI BIG BLOCK V-8, 700R4 AUTOMATIC, UPDATED FRONT AND REAR HOTCHKIS SUSPENSION Like all great Resto Mods, this 1965 Chevrolet Malibu takes the factory configuration and builds on it to achieve a level of performance not found in the original. That task is met here with a brand new 468 CI Chevrolet big block engine packing jet coated Hooker headers and Flowmaster exhaust that emits just the right snarl. Mated to a TCI Streetfighter converter driving a heavy duty 700R4 automatic with firm-shift programming, this powerplant is detailed to show quality and overflowing with chrome and polished surfaces.

Lustrous base/clear coat Crocus Yellow paint covers the car’s expertly prepared sheet metal – including floor pans that share the same gleaming

finish – highlighted by excellent fit and finish.

The powder coated chassis uses Hotchkis front and rear suspension with Eaton 2-inch drop leaf springs locating a totally rebuilt 3.73 Positraction rear end. Braking is vastly improved through the use of SSBC 4-wheel power disc brakes with powder coated calipers and drilled, slotted and coated rotors, while steering is boosted by an AGR power steering kit with braided lines and a Type II pump. Other important upgrades include Vintage Air, new wiring, a brand new OEM-style SS interior with all new gauges and tach and power seats. Finished with low-profile rubber on Black chrome wheels, this masterfully executed

T246

street machine has fewer than 500 miles since its completion.

1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE

427/390 HP, 4-SPEED, TWO OWNER BLOOMINGTON GOLD SURVIVOR WITH ONLY 30,000 DOCUMENTED MILES While the term “Survivor” is part of the collector car lexicon, it is more than just a generic term; the word is actually a trademark registered by Bloomington Gold founder David Burroughs. The Bloomington Gold Survivor® Award is designed to recognize those Corvettes that are “worn in, but not worn out.” A Survivor Corvette is significantly unrestored, unrepaired or unmodified and meets the following requirements: the car must be over 20 years old, able to pass a 10mile road test, remain over 50 percent unrestored and, finally, retain “finishes good enough to use as a color guide for restoration of a car just like it.”

Bloomington Gold certified judges inspect four

components of each candidate Corvette: exterior, interior, under the hood and the chassis. Each car must pass at least three of those four categories in order to qualify for Survivor Certification.

This two-owner 1966 Chevrolet Corvette coupe has met all those criteria in earning this highly coveted award. Its attractive Mosport Green paint is judged as 70 percent original, having received a minor refinishing on its upper front panels. It is optioned with the new-for-1966 L36 427/390 HP big block V-8 engine equipped with N11 Off Road exhaust and California emissions equipment, and teamed with a close ratio Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.55-geared

T247

Positraction rear end. The Black interior’s overall excellent condition reflects the odometer reading of just 30,000 documented miles and offers power steering and windows, Soft Ray tinted windshield, a Teakwood steering wheel and AM/ FM radio. Documentation for this Bloomington Gold Survivor Corvette includes all the original paperwork.

FUEL INJECTED 283/283 HP V-8, 3-SPEED ON THE COLUMN, RADIO, HEATER AND REAR SEAT DELETE This 1957 Chevrolet 150 2-door sedan will amaze the harshest critic with its thoroughly as-new presentation, the result of a frame-off rotisserie restoration that is very period correct.

Finished over eight years ago, it still looks as if it was completed yesterday. Headlining this car’s list of features is its Rochester Ramjet fuel injected 283 CI small block V-8, the first Chevrolet production engine to reach the goal of generating one horsepower per cubic inch – an accomplishment made possible by Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov. Finished in Colonial Cream and India Ivory, the car’s painted steel wheels, taxi-cab hub caps and Blackwall tires put it squarely in the

T248

sleeper category, a fact bolstered by its columnshifted 3-speed manual transmission and the absence of a radio, heater and rear seat. Matching the car’s show-quality exterior is the fully detailed undercarriage with correct Red oxide primered floor pans and correct surface plating and finishes.

FROM THE RICHARD BERRY COLLECTION

1979 PONTIAC TRANS AM

6.6L V-8, 4-SPEED, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, UNRESTORED WITH 36 ORIGINAL MILES Pontiac led the way into the muscle car era in the late ‘50s, burnished its lofty performance brand with the GTO and created a national automotive icon with the Firebird Trans Am. The flamboyant T/A became the longest-lived first-generation muscle car, but by 1977 it was a shadow of its former self. To reverse that trend, the W72 Performance Package was introduced, offering buyers the new T/A 6.6 L V-8 using a special Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and HEI distributor, increased compression and a redesigned camshaft with unique valve timing to achieve 200 HP. For 1978 Pontiac gave the Trans Am a bold new front fascia, boosted the T/A 6.6 to 220 HP and added the

WS6 Handling Package, which made the already excellent performer even better by contemporary standards. But the end was near for the big bore V-8; Pontiac management stockpiled thousands of T/A 6.6 engines in order to maintain the Trans Am’s newfound performance into the future, a move that made the 1979 Trans Am 6.6 an instant collector car. Case in point: this unrestored and carefully preeserved 1979 Trans Am from the Richard Berry Collection that has been driven just 36 original miles. If ever the somewhat overused phrase “time capsule” was appropriate, it certainly is in this instance. Moreover, it is exactly as any T/A enthusiast would have ordered it, with the

T249 Shaker-scooped 6.6 L V-8 mated to a Borg Warner T-10 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.23 rear axle ratio. Loaded with factory air conditioning, power steering and brakes, power windows and an AM/FM radio, it is painted in gorgeous Nocturne Blue Metallic and finished with a custom-order Doeskin vinyl interior, a particularly appealing match that wears the Trans Am’s famous exterior graphics with confidence; an amazing find that will add to the quality of any collection.

1955 CHEVROLET NOMAD WAGON

UNRESTORED WITH 53,000 ORIGINAL MILES, SINGULAR OWNERSHIP SINCE THE EARLY 1970S The rising popularity in the mid-’50s of both hard top passenger cars and more utilitarian station wagons inspired Chevrolet studio head Clare MacKichan and stylist Carl Renner to borrow styling cues from the original Corvette Nomad Motorama show car. The Nomad’s most talked-about feature was its unique roof design, which featured forward-sweeping B-pillars and broad expanses of glass. GM Design guru Harley Earl took note of the public’s favorable reaction to the feature and ordered MacKichan to adapt it to the new Chevrolet station wagon scheduled for 1955 production. This 1955 Chevrolet Nomad wagon was still unrestored when its present owner

purchased it in 1973. A full 40 years later the car now shows a believed-correct 53,000 original miles and remains in the same amazing unrestored state. Built in Los Angeles, California, and still wearing its Black California plates, this incredible mid-’50s artifact has been fully serviced every year; its headlights and backup lights, horn and wipers have been regularly inspected and it has never been driven in bad weather. Not only is it in spectacular condition; it is abundantly equipped and beautifully finished in two-tone Cashmere Blue with an India Ivory roof and a matching Blue and White interior whose originality is accompanied by a charming patina produced by

T250 the passing years. In addition to the 265 CI small block V-8 and Powerglide 2-speed automatic, the car is equipped with front and rear bumper guards and extensions, bright front fender and rocker panel stone guards, wide Whitewall tires and fullsize wheel covers. Interior extras include a GM tissue dispenser, in-dash clock and a pushbutton AM radio.

1959 DODGE SWEPTSIDE PICKUP

AACA GRAND NATIONAL SENIOR AWARD WINNER, NOMINATED TWICE FOR AACA NATIONAL BEST TRUCK AWARD The Antique Automobile Club of America has conferred numerous awards on this jewel-like 1959 Dodge Sweptside pickup, one of the most interesting pickups of its era and now one of the rarest. Dodge was caught off guard when Chevrolet fielded the smooth-sided Cameo in 1955, and it was not until 1957 that Dodge Truck special equipment manager Joe Berr visited the car plant to procure a set of station wagon rear fenders. He had them grafted onto a longwheelbase 1957 Dodge Custom Cab half-ton pickup along with a station wagon rear bumper, cut down the gate and extended the body side chrome trim to the front fenders. Two-tone

paint, full size wheel covers and wide Whitewalls completed the transformation from utilitarian device to the almost formal-looking Sweptside.

Between 1957 and 1959, Dodge built a total of 1,260 examples; 1959 production figures finally convinced Dodge to drop the Sweptside, and today only a handful of 1959s are known to survive. This multiple award-winning 1959 Sweptside is finished in two-tone Dodge Red and Alaska White and incorporates a number of rare features, most notably a factory optional AM radio mounted inside above the windshield, front bumper guard extensions and a unique chromed hood ornament, also a factory option.

T251

This Sweptside’s combination of a 120 HP flathead inline-6 cylinder and 3-speed manual transmission was also a rare choice, as most were powered by a 318 CI V-8 mated to a pushbutton automatic. These qualities, in addition to gorgeous fit, finish and detailing, have earned the truck AACA National Junior and Senior Awards, a Grand National Senior Award and two nominations for the National Award for Best Truck.

2001 FORD MUSTANG SALEEN COUPE

T253

SALEEN EXTREME PRESS VEHICLE, 1 OF 3 CONVERTED BY UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FOR USE IN THE MOVIE “2 FAST 2 FURIOUS” Since its debut in 1996 the Saleen Mustang S281 has been the flagship of the Saleen line of specially modified custom automobiles, making it ideal for a role in the movie “2 Fast 2 Furious”, the second installment in the hit “Fast and Furious” movie series. The car was originally manufactured by Saleen for R&D on the new “Extreme” model that was slated for production beginning in 2002.

It was originally painted “Speedlab Yellow”, a Saleen custom color, and then numbered 020002E for use as a Saleen press vehicle. After its tour, it was one of three Saleens remanufactured for Universal Studios for use in “2 Fast 2 Furious” and repainted Lizstick Red. The roll bar, camera

mounts and “Year One” log on the back window were installed by Universal. At the completion of filming the cars were returned to Saleen. This S281 sports Ford’s versatile 4.6L SOHC V-8 with special fuel calibration, underdrive pulleys and a performance exhaust system that gives the S281 its authoritative roar at full throttle. Upgraded with a Saleen Series IV Lysholm twin screw supercharger and 2½ -inch exhaust, the car cranks out a ripping 375 HP with the attached power flash, an almost 100 HP increase over the naturally aspirated version; behind that is a quick-shifting 6-speed manual and heavy duty rear end. The chassis is equal to the task of making that power work,

with Saleen Racecraft suspension, 18-inch wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires and slotted and vented 4-wheel antilock disc brakes. As with all Saleens, this excellent example features an engine bay plaque and serialized console plaque that verify its authenticity as a true Saleen vehicle. It is also listed in the Saleen Registry and documented with a letter from Saleen chronicling the car’s history and use.

1970 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE RESTO MOD

5.3L LS V-8 WITH LS6 INTAKE, 4L60E AUTOMATIC, PROFESSIONALLY BUILT IN OCTOBER OF 2013 Muscle car enthusiasts long ago reached the consensus that the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle was a high point for both performance and styling in the first muscle era, a judgement shared by practitioners of the Resto Modder’s art of marrying classic design with modern drivetrains and chassis design. A fresh build with fewer than 500 miles, this Shadow Grey 1970 Chevelle Resto Mod demonstrates how it’s done. Topped with a Black vinyl roof and sporting Black SS striping, a cowl induction hood with hold down pins and front and rear SS treatments, it departs visually from stock only where the rubber meets the road, where Red calipers give away the Wilwood 4-piston disc

brakes peeking out from behind Boss 17x8-inch wheels mounting Toyo performance radials. The sharp Black interior likewise presents in factory SS configuration, with the sole and discreet exception of Vintage Air. In addition to increased stopping power, handling has benefited from BMR front and rear tubular suspension and sway bars and Bilstein shock absorbers at all four corners. More than anything, the original big block Chevelles were famous for their overwhelming power and acceleration, qualities that have been carried over into this modern rendition through the use of a contemporary Chevrolet LS engine, a 5.3 L unit complete with free flowing Corvette Z06 LS6

T254

intake manifold, K&N cold air intake, Holley highvolume fuel rails, Hedman Hustler tube headers and Magnaflow performance exhaust. An MSD electric inline fuel pump assures adequate fuel delivery, and a Griffin radiator maintains proper operating temperatures.

2001 FERRARI 360 MODENA SPIDER

MID-MOUNTED 3.6/400 HP V-8, 6-SPEED, ORIGINAL BOOKS AND TOOLS INCLUDED Luxury, performance and the Cavallino Rampante (“Prancing Horse”) are staples of the iconic Ferrari sports cars. The Ferrari 360 Spider has the honor of being Ferrari’s 20th road-going convertible. Driven by few, envied by many, the thrill of pushing the speedometer in the open air of a 360 Spider is unlike any other driving experience. The mid-mounted V-8 engine, which can rocket its occupants up to 180 MPH, can be admired by all through the glass integrated into the rear deck lid. Designers accounted for the convertible top limiting engine space by creating additional air supply through large side grills. Additionally, the intake manifolds were

moved near the center of the engine between the air supply conduits. The 360 Spider is not to be mistaken for a chopped up version of previous Ferraris. To compensate for the reduced rigidity of the Spider design, the sills were strengthened and stiffer front floor pans and rear bulkhead were implemented. Additionally, designers included side reinforcements, a cross brace in front of the engine, a strengthened windscreen frame and roll bars. Designers answered the challenge of implementing a convertible top with an electrically operated unit that tucks out of sight with a two-stage folding-action.

T255.1 This fabulous 360 Modena Spider presents very well, and the black hand-stitched leather interior remains in pristine condition. Accompanying the car are the original tool kit, books, cover and Prancing Horse key chain. Reminiscent of a bright, sunny day, the Giallo Modena paint makes a bold statement on this Ferrari, and as the epitome of luxury and performance, this Ferrari will make a bold addition to any collection.

Roger Penske and Mark Donohue took on all comers to win the SCCA Trans Am Championship, and Camaro was chosen as the Official Pace Car of the Indianapolis 500 for the second time in three years. With that kind of legacy, the 1969 Camaro has gained legendary status and has become a favorite starting point for Bowtie-oriented Resto Modders.

1924 HUDSON 5 PASSENGER COACH STREET ROD

502 CI V-8, 700R4 AUTOMATIC, TCI MUSTANG II FRONT END, 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES Founded by eight Detroit businessmen in February 1909, the Hudson Motor Car Company entered the Roaring ‘20s close on the heels of giants GM and Ford due in large part to cars like the 1924 5 Passenger Coach that serves as the foundation for this unique coach-bodied street rod. The build was approached as a frame-off nut and bolt restoration incorporating myriad modifications and truly impressive attention to design and detailing. The original body retains almost all its original features, including the uniquely sculpted fenders and running boards, but the bumpers have been removed for a cleaner look. Billet tail lights, a driver’s side fuel door and engine cover

louvers have been added while retaining such original pieces as the headlights, door handles, sunshade and Hudson radiator cap and grille emblem. The powertrain and undercarriage are thoroughly modernized. A show-quality 502/450 HP Chevy big block leads the parade, backed by a beefy 700R4 automatic transmission and a Currie rear end with polished aluminum center and Ford limited slip internals. TCI’s Mustang II front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering are used in conjunction with coilover damping and disc brakes all around, with polished Billet Specialties knock-offs and BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires completing the rolling stock. Beautifully turned

1963 CHEVROLET NOVA CONVERTIBLE RESTO MOD

GM LQ9 6.0L CRATE ENGINE, 4L60E AUTOMATIC, TUBULAR FRONT AND TRIANGULATED 4-LINK REAR SUSPENSION When Chevrolet added the Super Sport package as an option on its Nova in 1963, it created a theme that still appeals today and lives on in cars such as this superb resto-modded convertible, which trades the original’s anemic 194/120 HP inline-6 for a new GM LQ9 LS engine, a 6.0L powerhouse based on an iron block with 6-bolt main bearing caps. Modified with a Wilson throttle body and intake, MSD ignition coils, ceramic coated stainless steel tube headers and breathing through a stainless exhaust system, it is fed by a Rock Valley stainless fuel tank and cooled by a PRC custom aluminum radiator and an electric fan.

A 4L60E overdrive transmission with console-

mounted B&M Magnum Grip Bandit shifter and a 4-link-mounted Ford 9-inch rear end complete the drivetrain. Generating at least the stock figures of 345 HP and 380 lb-ft of torque, the LQ9 dishes up more than the Nova was originally designed to handle, so the car’s undercarriage has been reinforced with custom fabricated subframe connectors and tubular front suspension arms for increased strength and durability. In addition, the rear wheel wells have been widened to accept larger BF Goodrich radial tires on Torque Thrust wheels, and hydro-boosted 4-wheel disc brakes have been installed along with power steering.

with dual electric auxiliary fans and a heavy duty Walker aluminum radiator to keep things cool.

Behind this powerhouse are a 350 Turbo HydroMatic transmission and 8-inch Ford rear end located with parallel leaf springs. The foundation for this eclectic rod is a fully upgraded stock frame that uses Mustang II front suspension and disc brakes all the way around to deliver modern-grade handling and stopping. The interior is a lesson in skilled upholstery work and detailed finishing.

The bucket seats, storage compartment, doors and interior walls have been finished in custom

T261

Tan fabric and vinyl, with luxurious deep-pile carpeting and a full array of amenities including a sharp Lecarra wood-rimmed billet aluminum steering wheel and tilt steering column, custom gauges, power windows, Vintage Air and a greatsounding Kenwood stereo system. Brilliant Red paint, one-piece custom bumpers with stainless braces, an immaculate 1933 grille piece and rare Halibrand wheels are the perfect finishing touches on this great-looking all-metal rod.

1983 LINCOLN QUICKSILVER GHIA CONCEPT CAR

MID MOUNTED 2.8L V-6, FIVE PASSENGER FORD CONCEPT CAR BUILT BY THE CRAFTSMEN AT GHIA IN TURIN, ITALY The 1983 Lincoln Quicksilver Ghia concept car was designed and built by Carrozzeria Ghia of Turin, Italy, at the time a division of Ford Motor Company. This unique concept car was created to debut at the famous Geneva Auto Show in 1983; its popularity was such that Ford exhibited the Quicksilver at auto shows around the world until 1986. Based on the British AC 3000ME chassis lengthened by 11 inches, the Quicksilver runs under the power of a Ford 2.8L V-6 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, a powertrain grouping that was a fixture in mid-1980s Ford products in Britain. The engine and transmission were snugly packaged in front of the rear wheels

in mid-engine configuration, allowing for interior accommodations generous enough to seat five adults in comfort. While earlier efforts at crafting aerodynamic studies faced critical reviews, the Ghia Quicksilver and other Ford entries in 1983 (including the Sierra and Probe studies) were highly acclaimed for their cutting edge drag coefficients and forward-thinking design details that often found their way into production vehicles like the Taurus. As a rule, concept cars by the major manufacturers generally remain out of public hands; the Lincoln Ghia Quicksilver is one very notable exception, especially when one takes into account that it is a fully operational vehicle

T262

with exceptionally low mileage, specially built for a prestigious marque. And while it is not certified for use on public roads and does not meet any U.S. federal or state vehicular regulations or standards, it represents an investment opportunity that will make a fascinating addition to any collection.

1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

ORIGINAL 327 CI V-8 AND POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC, MOSTLY ORIGINAL PAINT, ORIGINAL TITLE AND WARRANTY BOOKLET It’s the most sought-after treasure in the world of car collecting: the barn find, a car discovered after years of waiting to once again greet the open road, or just to be shown and appreciated as a piece of automotive history. Every barn find tells a story, especially if there is strong documentation to go with it. That is certainly the case with this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, which is described by its owner as the most documented, original car he has ever had the privilege of owning. That’s strong testimony, but it is based not only on the car’s incredibly fresh condition but by its accompanying paperwork. First, its condition: just shy of 46,000 miles, the car’s no-hit body

exhibits near flawless body lines, and is believed to retain over 90 percent of its original Silver Blue paint. The Dark Blue interior is also original and is in near perfect condition. The original 327 CI engine – coupled with the original Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission – retains all the original shielding. The radiator, wheels and hubcaps, all stainless steel trim, chrome, bumpers, glass, and working AM/FM radio are original.

This first-year Sting Ray is also optioned with power steering, power windows, Soft Ray tinted windshield and rare rear backup lights, the latter appearing on only 318 Corvettes that year. The documentation is impressive, to say the least. It

includes the original title issued in April 1963, the original dealer warranty work orders and insurance cards and license receipts for many years. All documentation for this sensational barn find Sting Ray convertible will be available for review on site.

1964 PONTIAC GTO COUPE

389 CI V-8 WITH TRI-POWER CARBURETION, 4-SPEED, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING Pontiac created an instant legend when it dropped a big block V-8 into the midsized Tempest and named it after Ferrari’s worldbeating sports racer, the GTO. As splendid as it was at the outset, the GTO improved every year until its peak in the first muscle car era, and earlier cars were often retrofitted with newer pieces from the GTO parts bin. That approach is reflected in this 1964 GTO 2-door coupe whose “Day Two” look is supplemented with carefully chosen performance enhancements. A quality older frame-off restoration on a solid car, it is equipped as it arrived in the world with its original matching-numbers 389 CI powerplant,

a 4-speed manual transmission, quick steering, dual exhaust and factory air conditioning. It was refinished in deep Grenadier Red and retains its original Black vinyl interior that is still considered one of the handsomest of its day; appointments include bucket seats, wood-rimmed 4-spoke Sport steering wheel and factory in-dash tachometer.

The mechanical improvements made to the car were few but highly effective. The 389 CI engine was upgraded with a period correct TriPower carburetion setup, an addition that raised the factory to 348 HP compared to the single carbureted version’s 325 HP. The car is also equipped with power steering and power front

T264 disc brakes with dual circuit master cylinder, an important safety and performance upgrade from the original single circuit drum brakes. Finally, BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires on American Racing Torque Thrust 5-spoke aluminum wheels pair up for the perfect finishing touch on this first-year GTO with PHS documentation.

1987 BUICK GNX

TURBOCHARGED 3.8L V-6, #254, 10,400 ORIGINAL MILES, WELL DOCUMENTED After rebuilding its muscle car credentials with the turbocharged Grand National, Buick took one last swing at muscle car glory with the 1987 GNX, a limited production special resulting from a partnership between Buick-McLaren Specialty Products and American Sunroof Corporation.

Only 547 were built, all of which were loaded with options at the factory and then delivered to McLaren for modifications that produced 276 HP and a whopping 360 lb-ft of torque. Externally, custom staggered-width 16-inch aluminum wheels and tires were used, flares were welded in to accommodate the oversized rolling stock, and vents installed in the front fenders to extract

underhood heat. In keeping with past practice, all 547 GNX coupes were finished in Black with Black and Grey interiors. Each one received a special numbered dash plaque and small “GNX” badges on the front grille and the trunk lid.

The turbo heat shield and rear axle cover also bore GNX identification, and decals appeared on the intercooler and elsewhere. Additionally, special identification stampings were hidden in various places to further ensure authenticity. This outstanding 1987 Buick GNX is number 254 of the series of 547 cars. Showing just 10,400 original miles, it has been meticulously detailed and retains a high degree of originality, including the factory

T265 paint and the original Goodyear Eagle VR50 16 Gatorback tires. It is offered with all documents and books, including the window sticker, build sheet, vehicle invoice, owner’s manual, GNX book and an identically numbered GNX jacket.

It is also listed in the GNX Registry and Owner Association as a member of the “Fortunate 547.”

1966 FORD MUSTANG DM450 TERLINGUA

347/450 HP V-8, 5-SPEED, #3 OF 4 DM450 TERLINGUA MUSTANGS BUILT BY DALLAS MUSTANGS This 1966 Ford Mustang DM450 Terlingua is number three of four built by Dallas Mustang to pay homage to the legendary Terlingua Racing Team Trans Am Mustangs of 1966. Dallas Mustang owner Randy Gibson and project engineer Kenny Northum personally select every car for their Terlingua program, fully disassembling and stripping each candidate to bare metal before beginning its ground-up rebuild. The drip rails are shaved, the front and rear wheel wells flared and the front lower valence opened up to allow air to flow to the front-mounted oil cooler; then the car receives its distinctive Black and Yellow Terlingua livery. Shelby bullet mirrors, latching hood and

trunk lid and a gas cap delete plate are the final exterior touches. A rumbling 347/450 HP Ford crate motor brews vintage style power. A Holley 750 4-barrel carburetor, Stan’s Tri-Y headers and Dr. Gas side exhaust combine in a wonderful cacophony as the horses blast through a Tremec T5 manual transmission to a Currie 9-inch rear reinforced with override torque arms. Generous reinforcing throughout the chassis unifies a full complement of Global West, Pro Motorsports, Koni and hand-built suspension components, including the exclusive Terlingua export brace.

Z-rated Goodyears on vintage Torque Thruststyle wheels are teamed with Force-10 4-wheel

T266

disc brakes to complete the rolling stock. Leather ProCar racing seats, Auto Meter gauges and a 4-point roll cage dominate the comfortable interior, which also offers a Flaming River column, Old Air climate control and signature Terlingua Rabbit-embroidered trim.

1957 CHEVROLET 3100 DELUXE PICKUP 283 CI V-8, 3-SPEED, DELUXE CAB WITH BIG BACK WINDOW This 1957 Chevrolet 3100 pickup was built at the Lakewood Assembly Plant near Atlanta, Georgia, and spent its entire life in nearby Clermont. It was purchased in rust-free, solid condition with its original paint by its present owner from his elderly friend Mr. Newt Jackson, and is now fresh from a five-year photo-documented restoration that included several modifications and upgrades, while maintaining outstanding as-original overall presentation. This good-looking Deluxe Cab 3100 was built with the new-for-1957 283 CI small block V-8 engine – called out by the chromed “V” emblem on the doors – teamed with a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission. It was

T267

further optioned with chromed front and rear bumpers, Deluxe rear window, tinted windshield, side window vent shades, dual chromed outside mirrors and a driver’s side fender-mount spare tire.

During the restoration the truck was completely rewired and the electrical system upgraded with an alternator. Air conditioning and heat were added along with an AM/FM radio, Dakota Digital electronic instrumentation and Rain Gear wipers, and the truck was refinished in custom urethane Turquoise and White paint with a sharp matching interior. This very fresh vintage Chevy pickup truck comes with original parts and a photograph album chronicling the restoration.

1966 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE PRO STREET

SUPERCHARGED DUAL QUAD 406/800 HP V-8, BEST ENGINE AT WORLD OF WHEELS The Chevelle SS debuted as a trim package in 1964 and was limited to a 327/300 HP small block as its most powerful engine. It was not long before Chevrolet realised the Chevelle SS needed more power, and in 1965 introduced the SS396. By 1966 the big block SS was available with 3 engines ranging in power from 325 to 375 HP, and the model was on its way to achieving its legendary reputation as a take-no-prisoners muscle machine with incredible potential. Case in point: this imposing 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle, whose restoration by its owner of 13 years also involved its transformation into a drag-themed showpiece exhibiting superb craftsmanship. The highlight of the show is the

1970 FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 FASTBACK

RARE ASC FACTORY SUNROOF CONVERSION, SIX YEAR FRAME-OFF RESTORATION This 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is one of a handful sold with a sunroof conversion

by American Sunroof Corporation, the San Francisco-based company founded in 1963 by Heinz Christian Prechter, a German foreign exchange student who was attending San Francisco State College. Authenticated by former ASC employee Henry Huisman to be an ASC factory installation, the car was restored over a six-year period, during which the body was refinished by Wizard Auto Body of Hempden, Massachusetts, in its factory-correct Candyapple Red paint accented with a Black vinyl half-top. The car’s 351/366 HP engine and automatic transmission

are matching-numbers units that are both original to the car. The engine was tracked to the car’s second owner and reacquired for the restoration.

It was professionally rebuilt by PK Machine in Fitchburg, veterans with over 25 years’ experience in rebuilding and dyno-tuning for both racing and restoration applications, making earlier production pieces suitable for today’s fuels and lubricants.

The car’s original automatic transmission was also completely rebuilt, by specialist Bill Taft of Hi-Tech Transmission in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. In addition to a retrofitted 3.50 rear end and fold-down Sport Deck rear seat, the car is equipped with power steering and brakes, rear

T270 deck and front chin spoilers, Shaker hood scoop and Sport Slat rear window louvers, color-keyed dual racing mirrors and chromed Magnum 500 road wheels with spinner center caps and Redline tires. Documented with the factory invoice and an Elite Marti report, this exceptionally rare Mach 1 was part of the exclusive invitational display at the 2013 Ford Nationals in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

1966 SHELBY GT350H FASTBACK

289/306 HP V-8, AUTOMATIC, PAINTED WHITE WITH GOLD STRIPES BY MULLINIX MOTORS IN 1967 If you wanted one of the fastest American production cars on the road in 1966, you could have it for $17 a day and 17¢ a mile, provided you were 25 years old. That’s what Hertz charged for a Shelby GT350H, at least in New York. The GT350 available from your Ford dealer and the GT350H fastback were usually distinguished by Raven Black paint with Gold stripes and rocker panel stripe on the Hertz, as 800 of the 1,0003 GT350Hs were painted that way. The remaining 200 or so came in other colors, although only Black and Wimbledon White cars got stripes. Behind the hood scoop, all GT350s had a Shelby-built 289 with Cobra hi-riser intake manifold with Holley 4-barrel,

hand-built tubular headers and straight-through dual exhaust. The vast majority came with a 3-speed automatic. Hertz smartly leased their fleet of GT350Hs, which eventually reverted to Shelby American and Ford. 6S1893 was shipped to Hertz in Washington, D.C. in mid-1966, with a radio and chrome Magnum wheels, and presumably terrorized the streets of the Capitol for the next year. Hertz was finished with it by the summer of 1967, it was delivered to Mullinex Motors in Daisy, Maryland on September 13 where it was repainted in White with Gold stripes. The original owner, James Woodall of Maryland, kept the car for the next 20 years and in more recent times it made

T271

its way into the Collins Collection. Authentic GT350Hs only come up for sale a few times a year, but not only has 6S1893 been out of the public eye for more than a quarter century, it has never been offered at auction before. In its distinctive, period correct White Hertz livery, it’s one of the most distinctive GT350Hs in the world.

It is backed by a column shift 4L60E overdrive transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. Heidts polished stainless steel front suspension and sway bars work in concert with QA1 springs, adjustable shocks and power Wilwood disc brakes; the rear suspension also includes a Kugal triangulated 4-bar system, while polished Budnik 17- and 18-inch wheels are used with Dunlop radials. The interior and trunk are lined in rich Tan leather upholstery, matching the car’s overall superb quality. Classic

426 CI HEMI V-8, FACTORY RACE CAR OWNED AND PILOTED BY THE INFAMOUS “BILLY THE KID” STEPP SERIAL NO. BO29M8B299139 ESTIMATE: $100,000 - $125,000

In a sport populated by edgy and colorful characters, there has never been anyone quite like William Elias “Billy The Kid” Stepp, a genuine outlaw whose drag racing exploits were only one part of his notoriety – the other part being the fact that he was, in the words of Cruisin’ Times writer John Shapiro, “considered the most famous mobster, gangster and notorious hoodlum the Miami Valley (Ohio) has ever known.”

Former Dayton Daily News staff writer Wes Wills covered many of Stepp’s exploits, which included parking one of his Pro Stock racers in front of the Dayton Court House while facing indictment inside before a judge!

Like others whose paths crossed with Stepp, track owners and booking agents soon learned that it was a mistake to mess with him. His fearsome reputation ensured he was the first to be paid any time a gate purse came up short of full appearance money. And yet to those who knew him, his greatest strengths were his personal charm and his ability to keep the law at bay, most likely, Shapiro wrote, “because of his long-standing cooperation with the FBI and other law enforcement.”

But another side to that story was told by Dayton Police Lieutenant Dan Baker, whose 1985 investigation of

150 // THURSDAY

police corruption concluded that a prostitution ring set up by Stepp “for the express purpose of getting stuff on cops…compromised absolutely every level” of Ohio law enforcement.

The Daily News’ Wills summed it up best: “Bill’s major call to fame is that he probably lived the most charmed life of any mobster in the history of the United States.”

Before rising to national prominence

in 1970 with his first Pro Stock race team, Stepp most notably competed in this 1968 Plymouth Barracuda BO29 Hemi racer, one of 70 built by the factory for Super Stock competition.

Prepared for NHRA’s SS/AA (Super Stock “A” Automatic) class, it has all the elements that have made these cars perennially dominant. The first step is saving weight, a task accomplished by the use of fiberglass front fenders and

special scooped hood, lightweight steel doors and front bumper and Lexan side windows with seat belt hold up straps replacing the winding mechanisms.

The car’s M-code VIN denotes its 426 CI race Hemi engine complete with dual Holley 4-barrels on a cross ram intake manifold, tube headers, Accel ignition and electric cooling fan, here mated to a Cheetah-shifted heavy duty Torqueflite 3-speed automatic and

an 8¾ rear end with heavy duty axles, coilover shocks, multilink suspension and wheelie bars. Phoenix F/X drag slicks handle the Hemi’s thunderous output, with aluminum wheels all around and Goodyear Eagle drag tires up front.

Full competition prep is also evident in the full roll cage, lightweight bucket seats, Auto Meter gauges and Pro Comp tach, dual 16-volt batteries with electric shutoff, trunk mounted fuel cell, electric fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator.

Finished in sinister-looking Black with a Black interior, this BO29 factory Hemi racer remains as desirable as ever with the added benefit of ownership by one of drag racing’s most intriguing and infamous figures.

S-CODE 390/325 HP V-8, TREMEC 5-SPEED, UPDATED WITH SHELBY GT500 STYLING Although Resto Modding was not a defined genre of the rodding hobby at the time, the idea of transforming this 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback came early on in the car’s life, when the owner followed Carroll Shelby’s example almost to the letter to produce this Shelby GT500 replica.

Freshly completed after a two-year rotisserie restoration, it carries practically every detail that made the real Shelby such an outstanding marriage of high style and sheer big block performance. All the body pieces are in place: the unique front end treatment with its twin-scooped fiberglass hood, gaping grille, twin Lucas fog lamps and shrouded headlights; body side upper and lower scoops;

fiberglass trunk lid with full width spoiler and 1965 Thunderbird tail lights. Candyapple Red paint and Shelby GT500 sill stripes and 15-inch 10-spoke Shelby aluminum wheels with Goodrich T/A radials complete the exterior transformation. The same approach was taken inside, where the Deluxe Black interior is fitted with a roll cage and inertia reel harnesses, fold-down rear seat, full gauges, Cobra emblems and an AM radio. Powered by Ford’s 390 CI big block engine mated to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and offering power steering and disc brakes, this well-executed Shelby GT500 replica is brilliantly detailed.

1956 GMC 100 NAPCO 4X4 PICKUP

NAPCO 4-WHEEL DRIVE CONVERSION, MULTIPLE MAGAZINE FEATURES AND SHOW AWARDS

This 1956 GMC 100 4x4 pickup is a fascinating artifact of automotive history. Known both then and now as a “NAPCO” truck, it has its roots in the Northwestern Auto Parts Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founded in 1918, the company grew as a supplier of specialized automotive parts to U.S. Government contractors. After World War II it turned its vast manufacturing capabilities to private business, again focusing on the auto industry, including 4-wheel drive conversion kits for pickups and other small truck lines. In 1954 the company began supplying its “Powr-Pak” assembly line conversion kits to GMC and Chevrolet. This 1956 GMC 100 is a multiple award winning example of

T279

the NAPCO conversion. Originally an Arizona rust free truck, after its discovery it was actually driven 2,200 miles back to Ohio before undergoing a restoration that has scored 98 of 100 points. It has been featured on ESPN and in the pages of Truckin’, Four Wheeler, and Off Road magazines and has won awards at the Carlisle Truck Nationals, Chevy-GMC Truck Nationals and Summit Racing Truck Fest; it is also an amazing 17-time winner at numerous 4x4 Truck Nationals specialty events and has won Best of Show at International Expo Center Piston Power Show – a splendid record that puts this rare specialty GMC at the top of the flourishing collector truck hobby.

It begins with the all-Black exterior finish that includes powder coating on almost every piece of what would otherwise be chrome or bright metal trim, with the striking exception of its 20inch Foose chromed alloy wheels. The sharp Red bucket-seat interior is almost completely factory stock, but a closer look reveals Dakota Digital instruments in place of the stock gauges, Vintage air conditioning and heat, an Ididit tilt column and Global West digital AM/FM sound with auxiliary input. A 572 CI GM crate engine with K&N air

filter, stainless steel exhaust, March aluminum pulley brackets and power steering fills the underhood area, where it is joined by a chromed air conditioning compressor, a heavy duty Be Cool aluminum radiator with electric fans and a Dakota Digital fuel pressure regulator. A Richmond Gear 6-speed manual handles all the power the big block can dish, and passes it along to a stout 12-bolt rear end. Keeping the car flat through the corners is its combination of Hotchkis front and rear suspension and anti-sway bars, Global West front tubular A-arms, vented Baer 4-wheel power disc brakes and wide BF Goodrich 20-inch 255/35 ZR tires. A full three years in the making

and presented in crisply detailed condition, this big block Chevelle coupe will thrill any serious fan of the Resto Mod genre.

1969 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

T281

TRI-POWER 427/435 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, DOCUMENTED WITH THE TANK STICKER Fresh from its debut the previous year, the curvaceous Mako Shark-inspired third generation Corvette stormed into 1969 with a host of upgrades and changes. Most notably to collectors, it saw the name Stingray – rebranded from 1963-67’s two word moniker – proudly displayed on the car’s flanks. Among the most collectible Stingrays are those originally equipped with Chevy’s massive 427 CI big block V-8s.

With the race-specification L88 427 proving too temperamental for street use, the top performance engine for dual purpose road and race duty was the L71 solid lifter Turbo-Jet 427 CI V-8 with TriPower carburetion. Delivering 435 horsepower,

an L71 Stingray was as happy idling in traffic as it was hitting triple digits at the end of the quarter mile. Equipped on just seven percent of total 1969 production, a, L71 Stingray is a rare and desirable collector vehicle indeed. Offered from the Collins Collection this 4-speed 1969 Corvette boasts its numbers matching 427/435 HP engine in addition to the tank sticker documenting the Regular Production Option items equipped at the factory in St. Louis. This Stingray features one of the best color combinations with stunning 984 Daytona Yellow paint, Black soft top and extremely rare code 402 Black leather interior. Correct Redline tires on Rally Wheels complete the classic look

from the outside. Inside, the 6,500 RPM redline on the green-lettered tachometer and center console-mounted factory data plate provide visual confirmation that other-worldly acceleration is within foot’s reach. Luckily, keeping all the power in line are factory-fitted J50 power brakes and N40 power steering. Given the low production of these options, passing up the opportunity to acquire this car means an improbably low chance of ever again experiencing the feeling of sidestepping the clutch and having a Daytona Yellow Stingray Convertible’s L71 427/435 HP V-8 press your backside deep into a Black leather seat.

1967 CHEVROLET NOVA RESTO MOD

FUEL INJECTED LS7 V-8, 4L60E AUTOMATIC, IMPORTED CUSTOM LEATHER INTERIOR The Chevrolet Chevy II was launched in 1962 with the Nova as its deluxe version. Soon the Nova could be had in SS trim, but only as a cosmetic package that still retained Chevrolet’s tepid 194/120 inline-6. Chevy transformed the Nova with a redesign and a choice of 327 CI engines, culminating in the Corvette-based L79 327/350 HP small block that turned the Nova SS into a true street fighter. A high power-to-weight ratio and a Corvette’s heart were the keys that unlocked the Nova’s performance potential, and that fact remains so in this stunning 1967 Chevrolet Nova Resto Mod coupe. Its aluminum dry-sump LS7 engine displaces 427 CI and delivers power through

a 4L60E transmission for startling performance.

A tubular front subframe, frame connectors and a rear brace/driveshaft support have been welded in to strengthen the overall structure, the firewall smoothed and the undercarriage finished to match the car’s glorious Hot Rod Red paint. Suspension is by QA1 coilovers, tubular front A-arms and rack and pinion steering; other mechanical upgrades include 4-wheel Hydraboost power disc brakes, a Rock Valley stainless steel gas tank, Street & Performance chromed serpentine pulley system and PRC custom aluminum radiator and condenser. The Nova’s clean lines are complemented with a cowl induction hood

T282 and the addition of 18-inch chrome American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with Goodyear tires. Imported leather and wool carpeting are used in both the trunk and the interior, which also offers power windows, a remote stereo with CD changer, Vintage Air and a Covan Classic gauge cluster with Auto Meter gauges.

1968 CHEVROLET CAMARO RS Z28

T284

302/290 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, RARE COWL PLENUM INDUCTION With its ponycar styling, muscular proportions and Trans Am Championship race-winning performance, the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 has arguably become the most desirable Z28 ever made, especially when optioned with the famous Rally Sport package. Finished in Tuxedo Black with a Black interior, this 1969 Camaro Rally Sport Z28 has been meticulously restored in frame-off fashion with extraordinary attention to the finest detail. A camaro expert has inspected the car, confirming not only its origins as a factory RS/Z28 but that it retains its original matching numbers 302/290 HP engine, 4-speed manual transmission and rear end. The car is

generously equipped with cowl plenum induction, power front disc brakes, console with special instruments, Tic-Toc-Tach, wood-rimmed Sport steering wheel and AM radio. It is correctly fitted with Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, spiral shock absorbers, jack and spare. Everything works as it should including the hideaway headlights, dimmer, heat and fan, horn, directional signals and automatic choke. Even the original clock in the center of the tach works properly without benefit of a modern quartz conversion.

1933 BUICK VICTORIA SEDAN STREET ROD

CORVETTE LT1 ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, FRONT AND REAR JAGUAR SUSPENSION In 1933 American car manufacturers were reeling from the Great Depression along with the rest of the country. Buick met the economic storm by pulling out all the stops to design some of the most handsome automobiles of the era and powering them exclusively with 8-cylinder engines, completely dropping the 6-cylinder units from available options. Of course, sales suffered and relatively few new Buicks were produced; today the classic Victoria 5-passenger Sedan is virtually extinct, but this frame-off rebuilt 1933 Victoria Sedan retains all the charm of the original in a fully updated tourer that will please any admirer of the prewar Buick lineage. No expense was spared

in the rejuvenation of this rust-free, solid example, which has been completed to maintain its original appearance both inside and out while raising its performance to a whole new level. The original straight 8 has made way for a Corvette LT1 engine and transmission straight from GM, teamed with 4-wheel independent suspension and stout final drive sourced from Jaguar, a proven combination in applications such as this. It is made all the better with the addition of power steering and brakes, power windows, 6-way power seats, tilt steering, air conditioning and cruise control. But for its modern radial tires, the rest of this grand classic is virtually stock in finish and appearance. Original

T285 extras include front and rear “Fisher No-Draft� vent windows, the large and handsome V-shaped front grille, fog lights, chromed bumpers, dual horns, mirrors and covered side-mount spares, artillery wheels with bright trim and a fold-down luggage rack. This rare Buick has been driven just 6,600 miles since its rebuilding, which is fully chronicled in an accompanying photo album.

1934 FORD CABRIOLET HOT ROD

FLATHEAD V-8 WITH TWIN STROMBERG 97 CARBURETORS, STEEL BODY WITH CUSTOM LEATHER INTERIOR The origins of this hot-rodded 1934 Ford Cabriolet are unknown prior to 1978, but one thing is certain: it is an absolute jewel whose every detail would warm the heart of any rodding purist or, for that matter, anyone who appreciates a finely rendered rod of any stripe. Custom built using a quality aftermarket frame and a steel body, it combines classic old school rodding practices with a high level of craftsmanship. The heart of this old Ford is a breathed-on flathead V-8 engine bolstered with finned aluminum heads and high rise aluminum intake manifold by famed Eddie Meyer Engineering of Hollywood, California. A pair of Stromberg 97 downdraft

carbs feeds the beast, joined under the louvered hood by a polished alternator and Vintage air conditioning compressor, aluminum radiator and chromed tube headers. Finished in deep Black paint with Red body side pinstriping, it displays all the stock chrome and bright metal exterior pieces of the original, including cowl-mounted spotlights, chromed front and rear bumpers, dual horns and, on the Red painted wire wheels, chrome center caps and trim rings. The snugfitting custom cloth soft top allows for a measure of fresh air even in the up position thanks to a zip-out rear window panel. Red leather lines the tasteful bench seat and door panels inside,

which offers polished billet aluminum trim and air conditioning controls, White faced gauges, a banjo wheel with the famous “V8” symbol on the hub and a stock-look shifter for the automatic transmission. Documentation for this sharp ’34 Cabriolet includes the June 17, 1978 bill of sale and copies of the title and registration.

1932 FORD HI-BOY ROADSTER STREET ROD

327 CI V-8, CUSTOM FRAME WITH STEEL BROOKFIELD BODY, FEATURED IN AMERICAN RODDER MAGAZINE This iconic 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster was originally built by Harry Nick of Nick’s Old Car Specialties in Redlands, California, and is a fine example of that company’s superior craftsmanship.

Based on a steel Brookfield roadster body and a custom fabricated frame (Nick’s foremost specialty), it rides on comfortable I-beam and torsion bar front and parallel-link rear suspension dampened by QA1 shocks all around and slowed

by Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes. The smoothed Brookfield body glows in rich Burgundy paint, the only details interrupting its classic form a pair of King Bee headlights and inlaid 1950 Pontiac units at the rear. Chevrolet’s venerated 327 CI small

T287

block is a popular element in today’s Deuce; this one was rebuilt by George Eckardt with a Nick’s custom dual exhaust system and backed with a 400 Turbo automatic transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50 gears. The Crane-powered small block is fed by a 22-gallon aluminum fuel tank for maximum cruising range. Completed with a stunning hand-stitched interior and Halibrand alloys, this beautiful hand-built Highboy has been featured in American Rodder Magazine.

1953 OLDSMOBILE SUPER ROCKET 88 CONVERTIBLE

ORIGINAL 303/165 HP ROCKET V-8, HYDRA-MATIC SUPER DRIVE 3-SPEED AUTOMATIC Oldsmobile introduced the 88 model in 1949, placing it in the model lineup between the inline-6 powered 76 and the upscale 98. The 88 was built on the same platform as the 76 but was graced under the hood with the new overhead valve pushrod V-8 “Rocket” engine. This combination of a comparatively smaller and lighter body (remember, this was the early ‘50s, when those terms bore a somewhat different meaning than today) and large powerful engine was a precursor to the modern muscle car and pointed the way to the Division’s future as a performance leader. By 1953, power had increased from 125 to 165 HP thanks to a new cam and a Quadrajet 4-barrel

carburetor, and the new Hydra-Matic Super Drive 3-speed automatic transmission delivered it with remarkable smoothness. The ultimate Oldsmobile 88, this beautiful Super Rocket 88 convertible was the subject of a restoration by a prior owner and remains in splendid condition. Showing a believedaccurate 55,000 miles, it still drives under the power of its original 303/165 HP Rocket engine and 3-speed automatic and counts power steering and brakes among its mechanical features. Acacia Blue paint complemented with a two-tone Blue interior, Navy Blue soft top, abundant chrome – including dual spotlights, headlight shades and spinner wheel covers – and wide Whitewall tires

T288 make a wonderful first impression. Collectors seeking early ‘50s opulence will be delighted with the car’s power top, windows and seat, fender skirts, dash-mounted automatic headlight dimmer and original radio and clock. The original owner’s manual and a promotional brochure are included.

1981 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GREENWOOD GTO

1 OF 2 TURBO 4-SPEED GREENWOOD GTO CORVETTES BUILT, JUST OVER 4,000 MILES John Greenwood’s name will be forever associated with Corvette. His Red, White and Blue wide body racers inspired a series of roadgoing Corvettes produced between 1975 and 1981, including this audacious 1981 GTO, one of only two built by Greenwood. Like its predecessors, the GTO was based on Greenwood’s IMSA race cars and reflected the changes IMSA made in outlawing Greenwood’s previous – and notorious – Daytona body style. In addition to those aerodynamic developments, the road-going GTOs also capitalized on Greenwood’s experience with turbocharging and suspension modifications, making them more than just cosmetic replicas. The

GTO modifications included custom fiberglass hood, rear spoiler, door skins, rocker panels, front surround and bumper, five-link rear suspension and coilover shock absorbers. In addition to improving the car’s aerodynamics, the GTO’s flared fenders accommodated IMSA-width tires and wheels, giving it incredible agility and making the most of its fuel injected and turbocharged L82 5.7L small block engine. Listed in the Greenwood Corvette Registry as GTO002, the car was sold new through Rick Mancuso’s Lake Forest Sports Cars dealership in Chicago. It was stored in Florida after a road accident and then purchased by Ayers Paint and Body in 2000. Restored in 2004 by Ayers

T290 and the Naber Brothers to its original Black paint and Red interior, the car was featured in a 2006 issue of Vette Magazine, after which it was sold in 2007; it remains in the buyer’s family trust. This car is one of only two Greenwood turbocharged cars built with a 4-speed manual transmission and is also equipped with power steering and brakes and power windows, locks and seats. With an estimated 450 HP on tap and the slickest aerodynamics on the road, the GTO delivers a brand of driving exhilaration that is only available in a Greenwood Corvette.
