1950 Jaguar 3 Position Drop Head Mark V Fully Restored, Best Of Show Award Winner


This 1950 Jaguar Mark V 3-Position Drophead Coupe was found in California about 13 years ago by Florida Jaguar collector Gail Symon, who was told that the car was originally owned by an Admiral of an aircraft carrier, who purchased it off the floor of a new car dealer in Turin, Italy. Once the car arrived at the shop of restorer Dennis Day, the stripping began only to discover a repaint of the original Silver and Burgundy. The body was removed from the chassis for repainting while the chassis was stripped and powder coated and all parts rebuilt. Body colors were chosen using the Jaguar factory colors in old style paint of the late 1940’s and early 50’s. The restoration was temporarily terminated when the car was placed in storage, but a new owner restarted the process with Day once again in charge. While completing the work required hunting down over 150 missing tools and parts, after two years attending to all the details, the completed Mark V was presented at the 26th Annual All-British Car Show, sponsored by the Tampa Bay Austin Healey Club on October 27, 2012 in Safety Harbor, Florida, where it won the Best of Show Award and the Tampa Bay Special Olympics Award. 7

327/360 HP, 4-Speed, California Car, Multiple NCRS Top Flight Awards


This multiple award-winning 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window coupe was previously owned, and the subject of a full restoration, by no less an expert than mid-year specialist and past NCRS Chairman Bill Braun, who in describing the car commented, “This car was restored taking absolutely no shortcuts. When original parts could not be used, or were not up to par, I used NOS parts whenever possible. All the stock guidelines were followed to the utmost detail, including matching the lacquer paint to the 1963 Sebring Silver color. It took four months alone to find a manufacturer to match the color in lacquer. The car has a history as a California car with a non-hit body and is believed to be a ‘Harry Mann’ car... This car turned out to be one of the nicest 1963s I have restored.” This fabulous Sting Ray Split Window possesses all the correct codes and numbers, including the original RF-code 327/360 HP engine with Rochester #7375 fuel-injection and #1022 distributor, Muncie M20 4-speed and AM/FM radio.

302 CI, All Steel, Believed To Be One Of Boyd Coddington’s First Builds


This historically significant 1932 Ford 3 window coupe is believed to be one of the late Boyd Coddington’s very first custom builds and his personal driver, and its every detail speaks to the vision and craftsmanship that were hallmarks of Coddington’s work.

1949 Mercury Woody

Flathead V-8, 3-Speed, Mostly Original Wood


While the only immediately obvious departure from original on this stunning 1949 Mercury Woody station wagon are the American Racing Salt Flat Special wheels and radial tires, there is much more to the car than first meets the eye. A restored low-mileage example of Mercury’s famous E.T. Gregorie design, it is more than a restoration in the strictest sense of the word; it is rather a wholesale transformation of the original into a genuine objet d’art using only the very best materials. With the exception of the mahogany door inserts, it retains all the original wood from trees grown by Ford Motor Company at its Iron Mountain, MI timber operation, all of it refinished to the same quality as Rolls Royce woodwork. The body was repainted in its original shade of Berwick Green, again finished to lustrous Concours quality. The same approach went into the interior, which features supple Green leather upholstery, fitted Wilton wool carpets, impeccable chrome and brightwork and spectacular graining in the dash. There is more artistry under the hood in the car’s performance-built Merc flathead V-8 equipped with polished-and-painted finned aluminum Edelbrock heads, polished aluminum intake, 4-barrel carburetor and tube headers. 27

1957 Jaguar XK140 Roadster

3.4L/210 HP, Rare C-Type Cylinder Head Car


This 1957 Jaguar XK140 roadster was ordered from the factory with the optional C-Type cylinder head that raised output of the car’s XK120 Special Equipment-spec engine from 190 HP to a healthy 210.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette Big Brake Fuelie 283/283 HP, 4-Speed, 1 of 51 Produced With RPO 684


The year 1957 is considered by many to be a high-water mark in Corvette’s history. Corvette’s transformation into a true high-performance machine was evidenced by the new RPO (Regular Production Option) 684 that specified wider wheels, stiffer springs, bigger shocks, quick ratio steering, cerametalic brake linings, vented brake plates and numerous revised components. Significantly, only 51 1957 Corvettes were built with the RPO 684 option. For the ultimate road race-ready Corvette, Chevrolet offered for the first time RPO 579E, the Duntov high-compression, solid lifter 283/283 HP fuel-injected engine and a rather complicated arrangement of ducts that fed outside air to the engine’s intake and to the brakes at all four wheels. Beginning in May of 1957, the optional 4 speed transmission became available and this car was spec’d with it. To assist in getting power to the ground, this car also came with a limited slip differential called “Positraction”. Fit and finish of the body panels and mechanical reliability improved in 1957 and it is evident in this example, which is sharply finished in Venetian Red with a Red interior and Beige soft top. 39

1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible

427/430 HP, J56 Brakes, Bloomington Gold, NCRS Duntov Award Winner


Designed to dominate SCCA and FIA competition, the Chevrolet Corvette L88 burst onto the scene in 1967, immediately laying waste to the opposition and beginning a three-year run of supremacy that earned the car lasting status as the ultimate Corvette. Notwithstanding Chevrolet’s ratings claim of 430 HP, the L88 in reality cranked out closer to 560, prompting the test editors at Hot Rod Magazine to declare in 1969 that using one on the street would be “sacrilegious.” Verified by prominent Corvette authorities David Burroughs and Tim Thorpe as the genuine article, this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 convertible has earned Bloomington Gold certification, NCRS Performance Verification and the highly coveted NCRS Duntov Award, one of the highest accolades in the Corvette collector community.

1946 Diamond T Street Rod Pickup

Full Custom Build, Tri-Power Flathead V-8, C4 Automatic


This 1946 Diamond T street rod is arguably the most unique of all the great machines being offered from the Rick Davis Collection. A true work of art, it features a wide variety of custom touches while leaving no doubt about its origins, which are demonstrated by the characteristic split horizontal bar grille, V-shaped two-piece swing-out windshield and sharply squared cab, all distinctive features of the original. The Diamond T’s Hercules inline-6 has given way to a C4 automatic-backed 1927 Ford flathead V-8 with triple Stromberg carburetion, Offenhauser finned aluminum heads and trick baffled megaphone headers, with special emphasis on chrome and polished surfaces. A dropped front axle with hairpins and drag-link steering give the truck its low-slung stance, with disc brakes, large diameter Billet Specialties wheels and Michelin Pilot Sports performance radials completing the rolling stock. The custom pickup bed is finished with a varnished wood floor and a neat spun aluminum fuel tank, just two of the many fine touches that include retaining the original functioning Diamond T instruments in the expertly finished Tan leather interior, and the hand-painted pinstriping accenting the iridescent PPG Burgundy paint. It all comes together in a feast for the eyes with a distinct personality all its own – the very definition of a great street rod. 47

1949 Mercury Coupe

24 Stud Flathead V-8, Standard 3-Speed


The 1949 Mercury heralded Detroit’s final break from the pre-war styling era and, in the process, became a lasting favorite with subsequent generations of rodders and customizers. This wonderful example exemplifies the high quality typical of its stable mates from the Rick Davis collection. One of the few Mercury customs that has not been the subject of the chopper’s torch, it first impresses with its luminous Maroon paint matched by superb Maroon and White tuck-and-roll upholstery inside, and purists will like the period-popular dual searchlights, chromed lake pipes and fender skirts. Beneath the classic look is the other half of this timeless formula: a highly polished 24-stud flathead V-8, topped with triple Strombergs on a polished Offenhauser intake and backed by the original 3-speed overdrive transmission.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Replica
