1976 Porsche 914 Targa • Beautiful bodywork and paintwork throughout • Final year of production means this car has received every upgrade • Factory air-conditioning, custom seats, and modern stereo system • Accurately restored and carefully maintained

he Porsche 914 was originally conceived in the mid-1960s as a joint venture between Porsche and Volkswagen. Porsche wanted to replace its 912 with something a bit less like the 911, while Volkswagen was looking for a halo car vastly different from the Beetle, Bus, and Fastback. It seemed at the time like a match made in heaven, and the mid-engine targa-top two-seater they

produced seemed perfect for both marques. All was proceeding well until the death of VW Chairman Heinrich Nordhoff in 1968; his successor, Kurt Lotz, dictated major changes to the deal. As it ended up, the 914 was exclusively a Porsche in the U.S., but marketed as VW-Porsche in Europe, and most were built in the Karmann Coachwork factory.

Porsche debuted the 914 at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1969. From then until 1976, the 914 was Porsche’s affordable sports car, boasting an extraordinarily low and smooth-looking appearance and remarkably precise handling. The roomy interior allowed comfortable seating for two tall adults, and ample storage is provided by utilizing storage compartments both under the front hood and rear deck lid, making touring more pleasurable and convenient. The four-cylinder 914 quickly found its niche, and sold well. Porsche upped their game with engine options and a smoother transaxle for the 914, and later cars after 1974 all received the 85-horsepower fuel-injected flat four that could hit 112 mph. The end came in 1976 as stricter emissions standards came into play. When production ended, Porsche and Volkswagen had sold nearly 119,000 copies of the 914. Today, finding a clean and solid 914 from the final year of production is a rare treat - especially one in such striking Lemon Ice paint. This car is very tidy and straight, with fine panel gaps, clean glass, and proper trim. There are literally no chips or marks on the paint or bumpers which is unusual

for such a low car like this. The factory mag wheels look great, and as you would expect on a car in this condition, the Targa top is clean and free of any abrasions. Even the engine bay and trunk are in excellent condition, with the spare tire hidden by a custom Porsche cover. This example was obviously comprehensively restored in highly correct fashion. The interior is immaculate, with brand new carpets and incredible new upholstery throughout. The yellow panels in the upholstery match the Lemon Ice paint perfectly and really look great. It is nicely equipped with factory air-conditioning, tinted glass, and a five-speed manual transaxle. The previous owner installed a modern Pioneer AM/FM/CD player as well, making this a great “road trip 914” from what many enthusiasts consider the best - and it turns out - final year of 914 production. Today, more people than ever appreciate the 914 for its unique styling, Porsche quality, and enviable performance. With easy serviceability and available parts, this 914 is a sports car you can enjoy driving without worries of a high cost of ownership. They have proven to be comfortable, easy-to-drive sports cars that continue to provide unique driving pleasure.

VIN: 653723 Engine No: 653723 • Fewer than 3,000 R69s produced over a six-year run • 594cc horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine • Powerful, luxurious, and comfortable touring bike • Hinged rear fender for swift rear-wheel service

1959 BMW R69 Motorcycle

n the early 1950s, BMW concentrated on refining what were essentially its pre-war designs, but by 1955, they were ready with a fleet of new machines in the new R50 and R69 series. Of 500cc and 600cc respectively, the newcomers inherited BMW’s traditional flat-twin engine but with a few notable improvements. One of the most important updates was using the Earles-type leading-link front fork and swinging rear arm suspension that enclosed the driveshaft in the right leg, a direct development from BMW’s racing program. Power came from the 594cc horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine and the R69 was advertised as producing a strong 35 horsepower, delivering power to the rear wheel via a four-speed gearbox. Considered a luxury touring motorcycle, it had enough power to safely take its

driver well over the 100-mph mark. But the R69 was not inexpensive and, when introduced, was priced about equal to a small family sedan. However, BMW’s marketing was aimed at those who were a bit more discerning; those who wanted performance and excellence in BMW’s engineering and were willing to pay for proven results. During its six-year run from 1955 to 1960, just 2,819 R69s were produced. This example appears to be in a state of well-preserved originality. Showing just under 26,550 miles, which appear to be from new, this R69 looks to be wearing its factory applied black paint with white accent panels on the fuel tank. Features include the original Earles fork which delivers a steady and reassuring ride. Set up for solo riding, the wide saddle seat is securely mounted to

the tubular frame with a single handlebar-mounted rearview mirror positioned for safety and security. When the need for service to the rear drive wheel is needed, there is the convenience of the hinged rear fender. Presented as an original motorcycle, it does display a light patina of use, but exhibits few scuffs, scrapes, or other signs of road rash. There is a certain prestige with owning a motorcycle with superb engineering, outstanding performance, beauty, and the rarity of the BMW R69, of which this is an excellent example. To find a preserved R69 in this condition is an opportunity that a true enthusiast should not ignore. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the motorcycle, mileage is not stated on the title.

VIN: 618185 Engine No: 618185 • Dependable shaft drive • 1 of fewer than 4,000 R60s produced during the four-year model run • Powered by a 594cc horizontally opposed twin engine

1956 BMW R60 Motorcycle

hen BMW unveiled its new line of post-war motorcycles, the R60 would prove to be one of the most dependable shaft driven motorcycles ever produced. These models were designed primarily to be strong and rugged, and able to pull sidecars; their duplex tubular steel frames actually have mounting points built into them for that purpose. The R60 would see approximately 3,925 units produced between 1956 and 1959 when it was updated with the R60/2 models in 1960. Powered by the 594cc horizontally opposed twin “Boxer” engine, it was set to deliver 28 horsepower and could maintain speeds in the 90-mph range. Fitted with the Earles fork system up front, the hydraulic absorbers offered a smooth and controlled ride while the brakes were adequate for the day. The R60 gained fame with

adventurer and writer Danny Liska who recounted his exploits in the book, Two Wheels to Adventure where he detailed his trip from northern Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina on his trusty BMW R60. He later completed a trip from Europe’s Northern Cape down to South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, also riding his R60. In the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig, when talking about a trip taken in 1968 on his BMW R60 from Minnesota to San Francisco, he states, "The BMW is famous for not giving mechanical problems on the road and that's what he is counting on." Finished in its original red paint scheme, this example is complemented with white pinstriping on the 4.5-gallon fuel tank. This R60 is fitted with the U.S.-required-style handlebars, standard-equipped

dual saddle seat, factory head and taillights, as well as the hinged rear fender for easy servicing when needed. According to the engine number, this is a rather early production unit, most likely one of the first group imported to the United States. Today, the odometer shows just under 63,100 miles and while there are signs of enjoyable use, it appears to have been cared for and pampered throughout its lifetime. The superb engineering invested in the R60 shows why these are so desired by collectors and enthusiasts who live to ride.

1978 Volkswagen 'Champagne Edition I ' Beetle Convertible • Champagne Edition II; Just 1 of 1,100 produced for 1978 only • Ancona Blue Metallic Paint over white leatherette interior • Desirable convertible configuration

he Volkswagen Beetle has endured as one of the most delightfully timeless cars in automotive history. Its iconic body and maintenance-friendly track record only add to the appeal of the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single platform ever made. With more than 21.5 million examples produced, its popularity over the decades is self-evident. However, this particular drop-top charmer is 1 of only 1,100 produced. It is a Champagne

Edition II that was only produced for the 1978 model year and boasts myriad enhancements that make for a tête du cuvee at a Volkswagen price. Volkswagen, which translates to “people’s car”, was developed as an automobile for the German masses in a country where automobile production in the post-WWI years was limited to luxury cars. In the 1930s, only 1 in every 50 Germans owned an

automobile. Although the Beetle was predominantly designed by Ferdinand Porsche and his team, the Beetles were not mass produced until the end of the Forties. Initially coined by its model number, the Beetle quickly became known as the Käfer, or Beetle, back in Deutschland and the name inevitably traversed the globe. The rear-engine, flat-fourpowered Bug was a phenomenon. Although Beetle production would inevitably move to Mexico and Brazil in the late 1970s to keep costs low, the German production of the Convertible would end in 1979. As a celebration of the final years of the Germanmanufactured Beetle Convertible, the Champagne Edition was produced in incredibly limited numbers. Brilliantly constructed, the Beetle Convertible had reinforced sills with welded U-channel rails, a traverse beam behind the rear seat cushion, side cowl panels and the doors boasted secondary alignment wedges at the B-pillar, which replaced strength that was lost in conversion to an open top. The cabin was incredibly spacious with front bucket seats and a full bench with legroom in the rear. Additional features included rear ash trays, twin map pockets, passenger visor vanity mirror and rear stone shields. Beneath the rear hatch was an air-cooled 1600cc, flat four-cylinder engine with electronic fuel injection mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. The 1978 Champagne Edition Beetles were all convertibles and were available in Peach Red Metallic or Ancona Blue Metallic paint, as is this example. This VW on offer was outfitted with a sand-colored vinyl top and white vinyl pleated

seats over black carpet and dash, which is inlaid with burl elm faux wood. Each dealer only received two Champagne Edition Beetles and those disappeared from showrooms across the country almost immediately. The vehicle identification numbers for the Champagne Edition Beetles number between 1582033080 and 158205289; this is VIN 1582039680, which falls securely in that range. That, in addition to the Ancona Blue paint and the faux burl elm dash trim, makes this already charming Beetle a definite Champagne Edition II and 1 of only 1,100 ever produced. This charming Champagne Edition Beetle presents in well-preserved condition. With 27,260 miles on the odometer, which are believed to be original, this eye-catching Bug has obviously been handled with kid gloves. The Ancona Blue Metallic paint, eight-spoke wheels with VW knock-off-style centers and front bumper are in gleaming, wellkept condition. Inside, the car sports crisp and clean, white leatherette under its taut convertible top. The faux burl elm, unique to the Champagne Edition, looks new and the black carpeting looks very nice. The stereo has been upgraded to a Pioneer AM/FM/ Cassette system and the fuel-injection was replaced with Weber carburetors, but the car appears to retain all its other original components. This Champagne Edition II presents a fun opportunity to own a limited-production Beetle Convertible in its glorious swan song years that is both highly enjoyable and collectible. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the vehicle, the title reads exempt.

• Formerly of the esteemed Nick Alexander Collection • Photo-documented body-off-the-frame restoration • Classic styling with many well-appointed options

From The Ron Thorne Collection | 1939 Ford DeLuxe Coupe

n iconic design, and one of the most visually striking of all automobile lines to come from the immediate pre-World War II mid-priced era of automobiles, the 1939 Ford models were one of the finest expressions of the celebrated design partnership of company president Edsel B. Ford and Eugene “Bob” Gregorie. Once again offered for 1939 in Standard and DeLuxe models, with the Standard line appearing much like the 1938 DeLuxe, Ford’s new DeLuxe offerings for 1939 were distinguished by their much more modern overall appearance. Most noticeable among the refinements applied to the upscale Fords were teardrop-shaped headlamps faired smoothly into the leading edges of the front fenders, plus a lower-set grille with fine vertical bars. Simple chrome trim now replaced the former hood louvers, and DeLuxe bodies also featured smoother profiles. Blessed with smooth-flowing bodylines, intricate grille design, teardrop headlamps, and an

Art Deco-influenced interior motif, the ’39 Fords – regardless of body style and trim level – represent a high-water mark of automobile design. Underneath, newly available Lockheed-type hydraulic brakes, revised cylinder heads for the renowned “flathead” V-8 engine, and welcomed detail improvements provided mechanical sophistication to match the obvious outward beauty of the ’39 Ford line. Offered from the final group of cars from The Ron Thorne Collection, this 1939 Ford DeLuxe Coupe resided in another well-known Ford and Mercury collection before Ron acquired it, the Nick Alexander Collection. Mr. Alexander is noted for once owning the largest Ford and Mercury woodie collection in the world and only owning the very best. While under Mr. Alexander’s care, this DeLuxe Coupe was faithfully toured throughout the West Coast at various Early Ford V-8 Club events. Documented by a large stack of photos, this Ford wears its extensive body-off-the-frame restoration that took

place in the early ‘80s. Today it still presents quite well, only showing minor signs of honest patina from spirited driving over the years. Draped in an appealing dark blue paint and blackwall tires, this Early Ford V-8 is well-equipped with an array of exterior options that enhance its appearance such as dual mirrors, chrome spider wheels with trim rings and hubcaps, and chrome bumper guards fitted at both the front and rear. The interior is lined in a comfortable tan cloth upholstery, and like the exterior, the cabin is fitted with many options that include a clock, radio, deluxe banjo steering wheel, and a crank-out front windshield. Accompanied by a correct spare tire, photos documenting the body-off-the-frame restoration, and a 1939 Ford reference book, this charming DeLuxe Coupe is ready for new ownership after residing in two of the most prolific early Ford V-8 and Mercury collections in the country.

1971 Citroën Ami 8 Estate Wagon • Upgraded air-cooled engine and front-wheel drive • Full engine rebuild in 1998 and complete repaint in 2012

• Removable bucket seat interior in fine condition • A fun and sporty French Estate Wagon ready for family road trips

At launch, all the Citroen cars were front-wheel drive, with the 1971 Ami 8 finally powered up by a larger air-cooled 602-cc two-cylinder flat engine which would push 35 horsepower. The top speed was around 75 mph. Also, by 1971, Citroen added a double-barrel carburetor and a redesigned manifold, and then also added stronger front disc brakes. In total, including all Ami variants, in a run from 1961 to 1978, an amazing 1.8 million Amis were produced.

he Citroen Ami had its formal French launch on the 25th of April in 1961, four months ahead of the August introduction of the widely anticipated Renault 4. Both the Renault 4 and the Citroen Ami 8 responded to a perceived market need for a vehicle slightly larger and better equipped than the 2CV. The Ami is loosely based on the 2CV, but with definite mechanical upgrades, including a larger engine. The Ami was produced as a Notchback Saloon, a Fastback Saloon, and the five-door Estate Wagon offered here.

The platform chassis and suspension design are familiar and fully independent all around, using leading and trailing arms interconnected front to rear and coil springs. The Ami 8 was one of the first vehicles in the world to utilize rectangular headlamps, which were innovated by Cibie, and would soon become the norm for all new vehicles. The Ami's black vinyl bucket seats were easily removable. Sales pitches of the Ami even included photographs of the seats being used as picnic chairs. With five doors and a 58-inch wheelbase, it was an early version of the versatile and popular hatchback design that is so popular today. An unusual feature is the single spoke steering wheel, which allows easy viewing of the speedometer. Styling was handled by veteran Citroen stylist Robert Opron. The interior is overall in fine shape, with the correct black vinyl seats and brown woven carpets, and a floor shifted four-speed manual gearbox and a column-mounted ignition switch. The Ami 6 Sedan is distinguished by an unusual reverse-raked notchback rear window. Simply put, the rear window could be opened as an aid to ventilation before air-conditioning became

standardized, and in the American market was called the "Breezeway Window." More desirable in the long run is the five-door Ami 8 Estate Wagon on offer, featuring a more practical full tailgate with a unique inset rear window. This nicely restored Ami 8 is finished in cream paint with blue accent stripes, with good panel fit and finish. It is obviously a well-cared for classic, with minimal corrosion and very solid floors. The sleek exterior was designed for aerodynamics, with rear wheel skirts, steel wheels, and chrome hubcaps. According to documents provided, a full engine rebuild was accomplished in 1998, and the car was repainted in 2012. The sale of this Citroen includes a parts catalog, literature, and restoration records. If rarity and innovative design are considerations as you fill out your collection, this unique Citroen should be at the top of your list. Ready to be enjoyed, this classic French family estate wagon is a fun and sporty option to pill in the family and go on a road trip, whether it's in the city or in the countryside.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster • Iconic British sporting roadster • Excellent presentation of color and performance • Bright chrome wire wheels; Ready for a jaunty touring adventure • Rare factory air-conditioning

orn as a direct result of Jaguar’s stellar racing program, the E-Type sports car was simply sensational. Originally powered by the versatile 3.8-litre dual overhead cam six-cylinder engine, the E-Type was a favorite for both racing and road use. When the engine was upgraded to 4.2 litres, it provided more torque. This was a major improvement with a fully synchronized transmission and

excellent stopping abilities with the introduction of the Lockheed brake servo. E-Types were plenty fast right out of the box with top speeds reported at or above the 150-mph mark. Jaguar’s goal of constant improvement also saw changes in the electrical system, improved driver and passenger comfort and other functional advancements.

Jaguar introduced the Series II, an evolution in performance and styling for the 1969 season. While some of the innovations were done to meet new U.S. mandates, these are considered to have benefited both the driver and occupants. Most noticeable were the now exposed headlights with their covers removed, allowing for better night vision along with larger and brighter taillights plus the addition of side-marker lights to provide better nighttime visibility of these sleek roadsters by other motorists. To the front and rear were sturdier bumpers and up front a larger opening for the air intake that aided in optimal engine cooling. For the venerable engine itself, and again to meet U.S. mandates, a pair of Stromberg carburetors were employed, and they delivered ample amounts of horsepower providing an exhilarating feel of the road. New interior appointments saw the use of rocker-type switches on the dashboard, revised instrument placement and introduction of an energy absorbing steering column. With these upgrades, demand for these sleek British cars remained as strong as before despite the availability of lesser priced copies such as the Datsun 240Z. Over the three-year model run a total of 18,814 Series II E-Type Jaguars were produced with 15,926 of those prepared for the export market with left-hand drive. Of that number, 7,853 were designated as “Open Two-Seater” automobiles. Over the years, the Series II E-Types have been hailed as the “pinnacle of classic

British roadsters”. They were simply more user friendly, easier to drive and maintain, and many feel that the redesigned bumper and grille treatment was more visually appealing. This Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster is finished in Signal Red, a very popular selection when new, accented by sumptuous black leather bucket seats and a new, properly fitting tan folding top. Presented in all its glory and splendor, it is riding on a set of chrome wire wheels wearing a new set of sporty blackwall tires. Another desirable feature of this roadster is the factory air-conditioning system that will keep the cool cat behind the wheel even cooler. Among the many amenities included is a chrome plated vintage luggage rack affixed to the deck lid. Panel alignment appears laser-straight, and the mechanics are reported to be in exceptional condition and able to deliver all the excitement today as it did when it first hit the highway. Mounted in the dashboard is a Becker Europa AM/FM radio and there is a modern retro-sound stereo system fitted with concealed speakers mounted below the dashboard. At the time of cataloging, the odometer was showing under 55,900 miles, which our consignor believes are original. The E-Type Roadster is a generational car and is still viewed by most as one of the best looking sports cars of all time. Not only an elegant work of rolling art, but an instrument to be enjoyed on the open road. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the vehicle, the title reads exempt.

1920 Ford Model T Speedster Special • American engineering with distinct European flair • Joe Gemsa overhead valve cylinder head and twin Weber 40 DCOE carburetors • Ready for vintage race events and shows

hen it debuted in October 1908, Henry Ford’s Model T represented an uncanny combination of durability, reliability, and affordability. Remaining in production for almost 19 full years with nearly countless updates, some 15 million examples of the beloved “Tin Lizzie” were built in all. In addition to making Henry Ford a household name, the little car put the world on wheels and proved the economy and efficiency of the assembly line. The

Model T remains an enduring cultural phenomenon today and it was recognized in 1999 as the “Car of the Century” by noted automotive journalists, above 700 other worthy candidates for the prestigious award. Along with its adaptability and affordability, the Model T was a product of uncompromising quality that ushered in the latest materials and advancements. Among them was the use of

chrome-vanadium steel for the Model T’s chassis frame, yielding extraordinary strength and durability, ideal characteristics for racers and pioneering hot-rodders alike. The Model T’s popularity and the never-ending quest for speed also spurred the aftermarket industry, which began turning out upgraded engine and drivetrain parts, along with lightweight speedster bodies. Lightened and upgraded, legions of modified Model Ts soon ruled fairground dirt tracks, set new speed records on California’s dry lakes, and humbled more expensive and powerful opponents on Main Street speed contests. Based on the historic Ford Model T, this wonderful Speedster Special is a race bred machine. Riding on a lowered chassis and dressed in a marvelous Bugatti Type 35-inspired body, this Model T Special perfectly captures the essence of a 1920s dirt-track racer with a distinct European flair. Power to match the Model T’s racy looks is delivered by a fourcylinder Model T cylinder block topped with a Joe Gemsa overhead-valve cylinder head and fed by twin Weber 40 DCOE carburetors. Finished in Light

Yellow and riding on red Buffalo wire-spoke wheels with a matching frame and suspension, this Model T Special is highly engaging throughout, featuring low-placed headlamps, a side-mounted spare to the driver’s side, leather hood-retaining straps, an engine-turned dash panel, and handsomely buttontufted red upholstery. An alternator-type charging setup provides heightened reliability, an external shifter handles gearchanges, two-wheel brakes provide stopping power, and the modern, periodstyle Classic Instruments gauge cluster includes a tachometer. A full tonneau cover protects the cockpit when the Speedster is not in motion. This well-built Model T Speedster benefits from minimal use in recent years and is presented in very good condition with good-quality paintwork displaying a light but consistent patina, and nice leather upholstery. Thrilling to drive with an impressive exhaust note from the bold sidemounted competition exhaust pipe, this captivating Model T Speedster Special is suitable for a wide range of exciting vintage driving events, where it will surely attract admirers wherever it appears.

1995 Mercedes-Benz S600 Coupe • Equipped with the flagship 6.0-litre V-12 engine • The ultimate S600 in the rare, desirable coupe configuration • Incredibly well-preserved example, inside and out • Accompanied by a clean CARFAX® report

outed as the most overengineered and expensive car Mercedes VIN: WDBGA76EXSA202640 ever built, the S600 V-12 was handcrafted to thrill in performance and was far ahead of its time in every conceivable way. With roadchomping power from its 6.0-litre DOHC V-12 engine that churns out 389 horsepower and 421 pounds-feet of torque, this car can accelerate from 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and reach a top speed of

155 miles per hour. The adrenaline-pumping engine wrapped in timeless Mercedes-Benz luxury with unparalleled build quality, made the S600 one of the most sought-after luxury cars of the ‘90s. This low-mileage example from the estate of Olympian Bob Richards, is poised to deliver all the thrills that allured the likes of Michael Jordan and Freddie Mercury when it was new.

At the pinnacle of modern automobile engineering, the S600 V-12 Coupe had an entry price tag of $133,000, which would be $228,000 when adjusted inflation today. Over a billion dollars was spent on its development. The result was a truly handcrafted S-series Mercedes that executed every technologic and mechanical advancement the firm could conceive of. From the advanced parking assists, GPS systems, APS (auto pilot system), skid control, traction control, automatic suspension control and TELEAID emergency system, this car trailblazed all the advancements we have come to take for granted in the luxury cars of today. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the finest cars Mercedes-Benz ever produced that is only beginning its ascent as a rising classic. Although the S-series V-12s were incredibly coveted when they debuted at the 1994 Geneva Auto Show, only 8,573 coupes were produced over its eight-year run, compared to over 400,000 sedans, and they are all the more desirable today for their rarity. From the estate of two-time Gold Medal Olympian, Bob Richards, this meticulously cared for German automobile has under 65,000 original miles. When Mr. Richards passed away in February of 2023, he left behind a legacy every bit as grand as his S600 Benz. With three Olympiads under his belt and two gold medals in pole vaulting from 1952 and 1956, he became the first face of the Wheaties

box, an ordained minister; he even ran for President of the United States on the Populist ticket in 1984. The enchanting Midnight Blue paint is in great condition, with very few blemishes; the wheels appear to have never kissed a curb and the engine bay is equally tidy. The well-kept interior invites the driver into unparalleled German luxury with burl woodgrain, tufted leather door panels, an adjustable, leather-wrapped and burl walnut steering wheel, clear and flawless instrument panel, and a sunroof equipped for a day of riveting and delightful cruising. The carpeting is in superb condition and the rich Parchment leather, with perforated inserts, is in fine condition aside from some minor blemishes on the passenger side adjacent to the door. A testament to the vast amount of research that went into the development of this S600 Mercedes, the cabin boasts heated, 12-way adjustable seats with three memory settings, countless performance and safety systems, electric rear window blind, dual climate control, AM/FM/Cassette/CD stereo, soft closing doors and trunk, double-paned soundproof glass, burl wood center console in the rear cabin, heated exterior mirrors, and even heated washer system for the windshield wipers. You name it, this car has it. At the apex of Mercedes’ best all-time hits, this car is the whole package with ownership lineage as impressive as the model itself.

added to the rear quarter windows as well as into the side coves ahead of the rear wheels. At the back of the Shelby, a rear spoiler was integrated into the trunk and rear quarter extensions, and the customary Mustang tri-bar taillights were replaced with a set of sequential lights borrowed from the Thunderbird. For 1968,

arroll Shelby had proved his modified Mustangs were potent cars by the mid-1960s, on and off the track. Building on the success of the 1965 and 1966 GT350s, Shelby introduced the GT350’s first refresh in 1967. The aggressive look featured a new hood design, round lights integrated into the grille, and scoops

the hood design featured a more pronounced twin-snout hood scoop, and the grille lights were changed to a more rectangular shape. The Shelby GT350 line underwent several other notable changes for the 1968 production year. The first of these changes was rooted in its name. The GT350 was now marketed under the Cobra name, which Ford quickly began using in the vast majority of its sales and promotional literature. Now known as the Shelby Cobra GT350, the iconic Mustang-derived racer was fitted with a factory 302-cubic-inch V-8 powerplant. This GT350, number 03156, according to its Deluxe Marti Report, and the official Shelby Registry, was produced June 3, 1968, and delivered to Paul’s Ford Sales in Kansas City, Missouri. Finished as it was from the factory in rich Highland Green paint over black interior, this Shelby is both accurate and authentic. 1 of only 404 GT350 convertibles produced for the 1968 model year, it is equipped with the high-performance 302-cubic-inch, 335-horsepower, J-Code V-8 engine that features an all-aluminum Cobra intake manifold, Cobra valve covers and most significantly, a factory Paxton supercharger. Factory equipment and options include a C-4 automatic transmission, power steering, power front disc brakes, extra cooling package, heavy-duty battery, Shelby ten-spoke wheels, power convertible top, bucket seats, console, tachometer with trip odometer

and tilt-away steering column. The highly original interior is equipped with a roll bar with integrated shoulder harnesses, Cobra branded seatbelts and console armrest, Philco radio, and Stewart Warner accessory gauges. The aforementioned Deluxe Marti Report is included with the car, as is the original owner’s manual. The originality of this car is remarkable. Muscle cars have many times led a hard life, subject to being modified, raced, abused, and crashed, requiring major restoration efforts to bring them back to their original form and condition. This car remains in a rare state of quality preservation, with just a recent repaint of the hood. Its originality was recognized by the Mustang Club of America as National Points Champion when it was shown at the Club’s 1989 National event. Carroll Shelby liked it as well when he autographed his signature on the inside of the center console lid. There is nothing quite like a well-preserved largely original car. The solid driving experience and the fit and finish are as unique, just as they were when new. It is difficult, and many times impossible, to totally dismantle and rebuild a car precisely as it was from the factory. An original car is a window into the past, allowing us to see what it was like to be on a showroom floor or used car lot half a century or more ago. Immensely collectible, this 1968 Paxton Supercharged Shelby is simply a pure example of its rare and legendary breed.

1946 Packard Clipper Six Four-Door Touring Sedan • Comprehensive restoration totaling over $100,000 • Attractive aircraft-inspired design

• Comfortable seating for up to six • Original Packard drivetrain

popular Four-Door Touring Sedan. Thinly disguised 1942 styling and body lines were presented with slightly revised trim. To promote the luxury level cars, 1946 Packards were promoted as “America’s Glamour Cars”. The advertisements told a car-hungry public that the “brand-new” Packard Clipper had everything that made the last Clipper tops in design and performance such as “fade-away” fenders and functional streamlining in design with wider roomier interiors, plus post-war beauty. It might have looked like 1942 all

n late 1945, the green light was given for U.S. automakers to resume civilian production. Packard, as with the rest of the industry, knew that it would be an unprecedented seller’s market and rushed to get a basic sedan into production. At first, just one model was available from Packard, the Series 2101 Standard Eight Four-Door Sedan. It wouldn’t be until mid-April 1946 until a full line of new Packards were ready for the market. Leading the way was the Clipper Six offered as a Two-Door Club Sedan and a more

over again, but these were new cars with fresh engines, new interiors and real rubber tires, even if blackwalls were the rule of the day. They were new, festooned with bright chrome and shiny paint, and for those lucky new owners, no more rationing of precious gasoline. Many of the 1946 Clipper Six Touring Sedans found their way into taxi and livery fleets, but a precious few were able to be sold to civilian customers who appreciated the status of owning a Packard. The restoration of this car was completed by an enthusiast owner who was in pursuit of recreating the first car he had ever owned. He had been quite successful in life and wanted to recapture part of his youth. He found a nearly identical 1946 Clipper Six Touring Sedan just as he had owned and went about investing a reported $100,000 to recreate the car of his dreams. Sporting a rich burgundy metallic finish, the interior seating and door panels were finished in fine-grain leather. The original 245-cubicinch inline six-cylinder engine was reconditioned

as was the factory-installed three-speed manual transmission. At the time of this work, it was decided to upgrade to a more dependable 12-volt electrical system with alternator and a completely new Painless wiring harness. The beautiful dashboard, complete with a full set of Packard instruments, was restored to perfection and the dashboard is fitted with an original clock, heater-defroster, and vintage push-button AM radio; however, concealed from view is a modern stereo system with speakers installed in both kick panels. Adding some glitz to this Touring Sedan is a set of chrome plated wire wheels fitted with a set of Coker Classic radial wide whitewall tires. While the builder of this car did get to enjoy this amazing ride for about 1,300 miles, he sadly passed away within a year after its completion and our consignor acquired it directly from his son. This is a very rare opportunity to own an early post-war Packard; one that can be driven, enjoyed and shown with pride.

1958 Rambler Six Super Cross Country Station Wagon

958 marked new beginnings for a name that had been on the American automotive scene since 1901. Having gone through many incarnations, Rambler was now its own brand as American Motors had retired both the Nash and Hudson brands with the 1957 model year. Under the Nash banner since 1951, Rambler had made a name for itself as stylish, solid, and economical to buy and own. With fresh styling, Rambler set out to conquer the economy car market. For 1958, the full-size Rambler was offered in three series, Ambassador, Rebel and the Six, which was offered in both Super and Custom trim levels. New this year was up-to-date front-end styling featuring a pleasant and bright design up front with quad headlights as standard; to the rear, designers incorporated a pair of mini fins above the taillights. All Rambler Six models featured four doors in sedan, hardtop, and the very popular Cross

Country station wagon line. These base models were a bit austere in the use of chrome and brightwork, but their engineering with the “unit-body” construction was sturdy, weight-saving and provided plenty of room for the jet-age family going places. Power came from the 195.6-cubic-inch overhead valve six-cylinder engine that was surprisingly peppy while being a bit stingy on gas consumption. A wide palette of colors was presented with complementing interior trim choices. 1958 was a miserable year for America’s automakers, but not for Rambler. With a push for economy, sales shot up for wagons, especially the Super Cross Country model which experienced a growth of 87.8 percent, going from 14,083 units for 1957 to 26,452 for 1958. This attractive little wagon is cute as a bug, solid as a rock and just a lot of fun to own and drive. It is finished in Robin’s

Egg Blue and is accented with Deep Sea Blue metallic on the roof and greenhouse areas. Those comfortable seats are upholstered with durable and colorful two-tone blue vinyl and silver piping. It is appointed with AMC’s famous “Weather-Eye” heating and defrosting unit, original pushbutton AM radio and optional clock. Full disc wheel covers on all four corners, a fresh set of wide whitewalls and a must-have chrome plated roof rack shows this wagon is ready for some great adventures while traveling in style. The trusty inline six comes to life with the turn of the key and the three-speed manual transmission slips through the gears with ease. Featuring the height of mid-century modern styling, great eye appeal and dependable touring capabilities, what better way to see the USA than in your Cross Country Rambler Station Wagon.

Coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring

1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider • Documented by Alfa Romeo Storico Centro Documentazione and Alfa Certificate of Origin • Mechanical and cosmetic work completed from 2013 through 2020 • A low production, late iteration of the highly desirable 2600 series • Ideal 1960s Italian sports car for tours and rallies • Striking style, design and performance • Equipped with rare hardtop as well as convertible soft top

evelopment of what would later became the 2600 commenced in 1955, tracing its origins back to a team of Alfa engineers, Orazio Statta Puliga, Giuseppe Busso, and Rudolf Hruska. Their objective was to incorporate insights, and possibly components,

from Giulietta’s engine, with a focus on a 2.5-litre straight-six configuration. In 1958, the 2000 series was introduced as a replacement for the 1900, featuring substantial updates and a new version of the 1900’s four-cylinder engine; though loved, it

still missed the mark they had hoped to achieve. Nonetheless, the 2000 series was still a success for the Alfa brand. In 1961, the 2600 series would be introduced, and the Alfa team would finally do what they had dreamed of since 1955. As Alfa's all-new flagship line, the 2600 marked the end of the Italian company's long-standing tradition of producing four-cylinder cars. Offered as a Spider, four-door Berlina, or a two-door Sprint, the 2600 was available to customers in three very distinctive body styles. The all-alloy 2.6-litre inline six-cylinder engine made use of dual-overhead camshafts that showed the buying public this model had much more to give to their clients. Considered one of the most underrated Italian GT cars of the 1960s, just 2,255 examples would be produced from 1961 to 1967. Production for this 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider began on December 11th, 1964, and was delivered new to the United States on January 14th, 1965. Documented by a large binder of records, this particular Spider would be a recipient of a mechanical and cosmetic restoration that was continually executed from 2013 through 2020. During that period, this 2600 Spider would be professionally sprayed in its current black livery and the cabin’s upholstery would see quite the refresh, which included the seat covers and door panels. The cabin also received new carpeting and

supplemental Alfa Romeo/Superleggera floor mats. The engine bay is nice and tidy with much of the work performed during the 2013-2020 time frame. During the mechanical work, the following items were rebuilt: the top and bottom of the engine, clutch, hydraulics, braking systems, and rear end. The cooling and electrical systems were also attended to. An ideal choice for driving events, the 2.6-litre DOHC six-cylinder engine is backed by a five-speed manual gearbox that will bring much joy to the operator. Furthering its touring abilities, this example has four-wheel disc brakes, RetroSound radio, and the option for the soft top to be up or down or have the desirable and rare hardtop attached. Accompanying this Spider is an Alfa Romeo Storico Centro Documentazione, Alfa Romeo Certificate of Origin, an aftermarket tool roll, and a copy of a shop manual. Well-presented and lovingly cared for, this 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider is a wellqualified addition for collectors and enthusiasts eager to participate in tours and rallies that range any distance. It has been said that every sports car enthusiast should own an Alfa Romeo at least once in their lifetime, and this 2600 Spider is an excellent example of al fresco Italian motoring. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is titled as a 1966.

1938 BMW 327 Cabriolet • Rare pre-war BMW convertible; Eminently usable tour car • Numbers-matching engine; Four-speed manual gearbox

• Exhibited at the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance in 1993 • 1 of just 1,124 BMW 327 convertibles produced 1938-1941

of a conventional live axle, while up front there was a superior transverse-leaf independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. These features, along with the four-bearing, overheadvalve engine, would provide the basis for the more powerful and sportingly inclined models to follow. Introduced in 1938, the 327 sports tourer used the shortened, boxed, ladder-type chassis of the 326 sedan, shared by the 320, but with semi-elliptic rear springs in place of torsion bars. The gearbox was a Hurth four-speed manual

ayerische Motoren Werke’s acquisition of the Dixi works at Eisenach in 1928 provided BMW, known for being a manufacturer of aircraft engines and motorcycles, with a foothold in motor manufacturing. Dixi's built-under-license version of the Austin Seven was gradually developed and improved, ending up with swing-axle suspension and overhead valves, and then in 1933 came the first true BMW - the six-cylinder 303. The latter adopted a twin-tube frame and abandoned the rear swing axles in favor

unit with freewheel between first and second gears, enabling clutch-less gear changes at low speeds, while there were hydraulic brakes all around. BMW's inline six by now had been enlarged to 1,971cc and developed around 55 HP in the 327. Autocar magazine got its hands on a 328-engined Type 327 Sports Cabriolet in 1939, achieving the highly creditable maximum speed, for a 2-litre car, of 96.77 mph (156km/h) while testing the BMW at Brooklands. According to some sources, a total of 1,124 BMW 327 convertibles had been built by the time production ceased in 1941. Wearing striking yellow paint with tan interior, this BMW 327 is most likely the only one carrying such a distinctive look - so much so, that its uniqueness brought it to the cover of the BMW Car Club of America magazine Roundel in July 1994. Back in the 1990s, the car belonged to BMW dealership owner and avid collector, Ralph Day of Concord, California, who had found the car abandoned under a collapsing wooden carport in an Atlanta, Georgia backyard. Wearing its original green paint, the dust, elements and simply time had deteriorated and adversely affected the overall condition of the car. Moving forward, Mr. Day commissioned a long and thorough restoration with Stewart Laidlaw's restoration shop in Angel's Camp, California, which took a total of three years from start to finish. Of note, the engine

showcases a matching number to the car. This staggering nut and bolt restoration, combined with the audacious choice of this non-original yellow paint, got Mr. Day invited to show his car at the 1993 Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance. Being the only BMW present that year, the car did not win any awards but garnered vast amounts of attention from enthusiasts. Not much is known about 73330's history prior to Mr. Day's ownership, but the car's remarkable presence at Pebble Beach in 1993 emulated interest from enthusiasts from around the world, and the car was purchased by a Japanese collector. Enjoyed and preserved by its owner, the car was sporadically used and taken to local events, precisely in the Ibaraki region, around Tsukuba. As BMW 327s are scarcely offered, this car carries the right pedigree and represents a unique opportunity to acquire one of BMW's most important models and design, which was the basis of many iconic racing victories for the Bavarian manufacturer. To those unfamiliar with this era of the brand, this particular model represents a wonderful balance of the legendary lightweight high performance overhead-valve engine in a light nimble chassis and, in this case, with a full convertible body. A unique and eye-catching BMW, it stands ready for exhibition, use on driving tours, picnics or simply a sporting cruise.

1959 Lauterbach 'Miss Miami' Vintage Hydroplane

ne of the legends of hydroplane boat building was the late Henry Lauterbach, who designed the 1967 World Champion Unlimited Hydroplane, Miss Chrysler Crew. Henry started building race boats in the 1940s. No one ever complained about the quality of workmanship on a Lauterbach hull, which was always impeccable. He built over 200 hydroplanes and all were basically hand-built with meticulous attention to detail. For sheer craftsmanship, Lauterbach was one of the all-time great "wood butchers". He will be remembered not only for his boat building ability but also for his skill as a driver. During the 1950s, Henry was National High Point Champion in three different APBA inboard classes and was inducted into the APBA Hall of Fame in 1956. Henry retired from competition in 1963 and

retired from full-time boat building in 2001 leaving his son, Larry Lauterbach, to continue with the family tradition as a driver and builder. This example is one of Henry Lauterbach’s earlier creations, a 1959 Series 5L. It is just 18 feet from stem to stern and is currently powered by a Chevrolet 350-cubic-inch small-block V-8 engine specially modified for marine duty. It features a 266 class hull that is fiberglass and wood construction and was discovered a few years back. It was apparent that this historic watercraft had quite a bit of racing history, for there were several layers of paint found that covered its original livery. The hull was stripped down with the base layer preserved so it could be replicated in the restoration. Finished in red with hand applied gold trim, it carried the numbers F-3 and the name ‘Miss

Miami’. Vintage hydroplane expert David Williams from the Hydroplane and Race Boat Museum in Kent, Washington inspected the craft and verified its authenticity. It was also revealed that this was the lead boat in the 1964 film ‘Racing Fever’, a film of suspense and intrigue centered around the rough and tumble world of hydroplane racers. Since its restoration, it has competed in several vintage boat races on Lake Chelan in Washington. Included in the sale is an original copy of the Racing Fever film’s media kit and an original numbered movie theater poster featuring an illustration of the boat.

one-of-a-kind 911, successfully envisioned to elevate the 1973 ½ Porsche 911T Coupe into a Carrera RS-level performer in the rare, 1973 ½ segmented production year, it achieves that and more with looks every bit as sizzling as its performance. This Dennis Collins’ creation combines the last year of the evocative and desirable long-nose hood and the debut of the lauded Bosch

CIS fuel-injection system with a blistering 2.7-litre Carrera engine package, complete with many upgrades. An incredibly desirable half-year model with the upgraded powertrain guaranteed to outperform every 1973 ½ 911 in its wake and then some. When Dennis Collins journeyed to South Carolina on his popular YouTube series, Coffee Walk, to procure this rare 1973 ½ Porsche

911T, he discovered an incredible car that lacked its original engine stamp, but the remaining numbers were all matching. He sent the yellow beauty home to Texas and set out to equip the rare Porsche with everything we all wish the 1973 ½ had when new. Over the course of a two-year restoration project, with photographs of the journey, he took the tarmac-searing 2.7-litre Carrera engine apart, split the cases and completely rebuilt the formidable engine. The 2.7-litre was the fastest Porsche engine built to date when it was released with a 0 to 60 time in 5.8 seconds with a top speed of 152 miles per hour. From there, Collins rebuilt the fivespeed manual transaxle and meticulously rebuilt the suspension as well as the brakes. The Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection system was serviced and the air-conditioning system was restored. He intuitively incorporated high-performance dual exhaust and upgraded Koni shocks. With the restoration completed in 2022, the singular 911 was now equipped to perform like a Carrera RS wrapped in the sought-after half-year model. But he did not stop there. The original cabin, which was ordered with rare, factory special-order sports seats, was given a striking aesthetic makeover. Reupholstered by

DTS Interiors in Plano, Texas, the uncommon, special-order seats were outfitted with stylish brown leatherette with Porsche’s black, brown and cream houndstooth centers to accentuate the original brown carpeting; receipts accompany the sale. The cockpit boasts numerous Porsche factory options including a special-order comfort package, faux woodgrain dash and trim, a stereo headphone outlet and a walnut gearshift knob, in addition to its AM/FM cassette stereo. This example is accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the original owner’s manual, driver’s manual, receipts of the restoration project, and comprehensive restoration photographs. The car was delivered Sepia Brown when new, but the vivid yellow paint is much more captivating and conducive to what lies beneath this formidable 911. The yellow body flaunts Carrera 2.7 and 911 script on the decklid. It is adorned with the factory-option front spoiler that greatly reduces drag and only augments the overall look. This eye-catching 1973 ½ Porsche 911T is equipped to deliver knuckle-whitening performance with a full life of spirited enjoyment in its future. Highly collectible and equally enjoyable, this truly is a one-of-a-kind 911. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is titled as a 1973.

Coachwork by Chapron

1949 Delahaye 135M Cabriolet • Well-documented and authenticated by President of Club Delahaye, Jean-Paul Tissot • Recipient of an older high-quality nut and bolt restoration by Chapron • Desirable numbers-matching 110-HP triple-carbureted engine and Cotal gearbox • One of just a handful of examples bodied in Chapron’s distinctive long-nose style

arly French automotive history is some of the collector car industry’s richest. Pioneering efforts from late-19th century marques like Panhard, Peugeot, and De Dion-Bouton laid significant framework for the modern car, while France’s later luxury brands like Delage, Talbot-Lago, and Bugatti catered to royalty and simultaneously dominated major motorsports events around the world. At the

center of this Venn-diagram is Delahaye. As one of France’s les Grande routières, Delahaye established itself as one of the finest pre-war marques; its competition-grade chassis and powertrains were usually draped in outlandishly voluptuous bodywork from the finest French coachbuilders like Figoni et Falaschi, Saoutchik, and Chapron, matching Bugatti for pace and surpassing most for elegance.

Delahaye made its mark on motorsports early with entries into endurance events like the 1896 Paris-Marseille-Paris, 1897 Paris-Dieppe, and 1898 Paris-Amsterdam-Paris races. The firm’s racing efforts ceased after founder Émile Delahaye’s 1901 retirement and subsequent death in 1905. Financial woes in the late 1920s pushed principal shareholders to reassess the marque’s positioning. The revamped Delahaye brand would arrive on the shoulders of a new sporting six-cylinder chassis line that offered more competitive power, sharper handling, and an elevated price tag. As part of this rebrand, a racing department was established—the brand’s first—and the new-for1935 Delahaye Type 135 set about returning the storied marque to the glorious trials of motorsports. Off track, top-level European coachbuilders draped the popular 135 chassis in ludicrously voluptuous bodywork that would perfectly toe the line between elegance and excess. Production of the 135 range spans an astounding 19 years from 1935 to 1954, though Delahaye’s wartime manufacturing stress cut the 135 short in 1940, resuming six years later at the close of World War II. This particular 1949 Delahaye 135M Cabriolet on offer is one of those post-war cars. The “M”—short for Modifié, or “modified”—specification denotes a larger and improved 3.5-litre overhead valve inline-six engine offered with between one and three carburetors. Chassis number 800940 carries the desirable, numbers-matching 110-horsepower tripleSolex setup and Cotal four-speed electromagnetic gearbox, which is the ideal drivetrain configuration for Delahaye’s many racing efforts in its day and for tours and rallies today. French carrosserie Chapron

penned the distinctive and stunningly graceful cabriolet coachwork, which is documented and authenticated in President of Club Delahaye, JeanPaul Tissot’s report. It is one of just a handful bodied in Chapron’s “long-nose” cabriolet style, incorporating semi-recessed headlights and a prominent front grille, and offers a cabriolet soft-top adjustable to three positions. Inside, light brown upholstery is complemented by light tan carpeting and beautiful wood trim, the latter wearing a selection of control knobs rendered in charming butterscotch Bakelite. This example was first registered in September 1948, and quickly sold to French mining engineer Jean Dubos in Hauts-de-Seine, France. By July of 1985, it resided in the collection of a former president of the Bugatti Club and enjoyed a major restoration by Chapron’s workshop under his own ownership. This 135 eventually moved to a new owner in Finistère, France prior to landing with the most recent owner in 2013. The last decade of ownership saw this exquisite Delahaye enjoying casual use in a range of rallies and tours around North America. These are robust and rewarding cars, equally comfortable on brisk countryside tours as they are on prestigious concours greens. Along with the Jean-Paul Tissot history report, the next owner will also receive its carte grise, or French Certificat d’lmmatrculation. Mechanically ready to partake in more distinguished tours located around North America and beyond, this stylish and elegant French-bodied Delahaye will be a captivating addition to one's roster of tour vehicles or as a static display of art amongst a discerning collection.

Iron Mountain plant. A fully integrated process, from harvesting the timber to loading the finished bodies on the transport trains, the 1940 DeLuxe Station Wagon would be the first automobile to be built at the plant. Production for wood-bodied cars was at an all-time high and quality was stated to be greatly enhanced as well, but this would come to a stop when the United States entered WWII. Iron Mountain shifted gears and stayed busy producing wood gliders for the war effort. Once the war ended, production

he first Ford wood-bodied station wagons, known as Depot Hacks, were mainly used for transporting passengers from train stations to hotels, country clubs and large estates. As years passed, their use and popularity grew, and the "Woodie" Station Wagons would become a favorite among families, outdoorsmen, and men of class. To keep up with production and of course to save money, in true Ford fashion, Henry Ford bought his own forest and built a factory among it, which would become known as the

With the "Woodie" back in business, the buying public was in full force and wood-bodied cars once again were a favorite. The last wood-bodied car to be offered from the esteemed Ron Thorne Collection, this 1946 Ford Super DeLuxe Station Wagon is the recipient of a body-off-the-frame restoration that still presents quite well today. Emulating a classic and elegant look thanks to its well-varnished wood components, the body is finished in classic black paint with a complementing black leatherette top and blackwall tires. Like the exterior, the spacious interior is wellpresented with its three rows of seating that are lined in comfortable brown faux leather and equipped with a clock, a radio, front seat belts, and a heater/defroster for use when weather is not favorable. Other factory options on this attractive Super DeLuxe include fog lights, trim rings, and bumper guard extensions.

Offered with both a V-8 and six-cylinder engine for the 1946 Ford Wagon, this example is equipped with the more desirable 100 horsepower V-8 engine, which is backed by a classic column-mounted threespeed manual transmission. With an unusually high ratio of developed horsepower to weight, Ford claimed in advertisements that, “You’ll enjoy sparkling performance, greater pulling power on hills, and unusual flexibility throughout the entire speed range,” stating the Super DeLuxe Station Wagon was a top-tier automobile of its time. It is largely agreed that few remain today, as most of them did not survive through the years or receive care quite like this one has, having been under the care of Mr. Ron Thorne. A luxury item in its time that helped set the stage for the iconic family car designs that we see today, this ’46 Super DeLuxe Station Wagon ‘wood’ be ideal to haul the family on its next road trip or be used at the cabin for a weekend getaway and outdoor sporting expeditions.

go. The problem was that the company contracted to provide the coachwork was having issues and it would not be ready in time for the show. Something had to be produced for Jaguar to make a splash and Sir William Lyons, the father of Jaguar Cars Ltd., came up with an emergency plan. He took the already completed and tested chassis of the Mark VII, shortened it by 18 inches and then he designed a rather elegant two-seater open roadster to fit on the newly created platform. The plan was to create a very limited

n post-war England, the economy was still feeling the woes of World War II when in the fall of 1948, Jaguar, which had survived the war, was preparing to release a totally new post-war car with the aim to display it at that year’s Earl’s Court Motor Show in London. However, there were some major issues with bringing out this new luxury four-door saloon. The chassis was ready for production with several prototypes available and a new dual overhead cam inline six-cylinder engine had been developed and was ready to

run of no more than 200 copies of this car to keep the company afloat while waiting for the big saloon bodies to be readied. On opening day at Earl’s Court, the unexpected happened; the Jaguar display was mobbed and by the close of the show, more than double the projected goal was attained, thus was born the legendary XK120. While the first production bodies were of alloy construction, more reliable and durable steel panels were put into production. Aluminum was still used for several body components including the bonnet, rear decklid and the doors. Under the bonnet, the new dual overhead cam inline six-cylinder engine designed for the Mark VII was installed in the new XK120 with 3,442-cc displacement. When equipped with a pair of SU side-draft carburetors it produced 160 horsepower, capable of attaining speeds of 120 miles per hour. Soon the XK120 was making its presence known at racetracks in both the UK and across the pond in the USA. Unlike many sports cars of the day, the XK120 was a rather quiet contender. Afterall, the engine had originally been designed to power the likes of a limousine style saloon, not a wildly hot open race car. During the XK120’s production run, Lyons’ team was constantly adding upgrades and improvements to production cars. These included refinements to the suspension, additional creature comforts such as ventilation for the occupants, and minor technical advancements that helped to make sure Jaguar owners were treated like the “Royals” when behind the wheel.

Lyons realized early on that the strongest market for these cars would be in the former “colonies” and catered to the left-hand driving world with proper engineering and increased production. This beautiful example is finished in Dove Gray and is complemented by a leather interior of dark red bolster with tan biscuits for the plush seats under a taut and fresh black folding top. This sleek roadster has been treated to several recent improvements including new chrome wire wheels and a fresh set of Vredestein Sprint Classic blackwall tires. Inspections have shown that this XK120 retains its original numbers-matching engine, by which this car is titled, and presents in splendid condition. This car is fitted with the improved Salisbury 4HA rear axle with the driver friendly 3.54:1 gears, as well as the later production-style rear springs originally found only on the SE models. At the time of cataloging, the odometer was showing just over 62,450 miles which are believed to be correct. As a competition vehicle, names like Sir Stirling Moss and World Champion Phil Hill were often found behind the wheel of XK120s, while celebrities such as Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart and Tyrone Power all enjoyed some seat time behind the wheels of their own Jaguars. Featuring timeless style, proven mechanics, and an impeccable heritage of motoring magnificence, ownership of this iconic roadster will bring prestige and many happy miles of driving satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the vehicle, the title reads exempt.

2009 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Roadster • 1 of just 57 Roadsters built for 2009 • Only two private owners and just 4,300 miles from new • Full servicing in December of 2023

• Clean and detailed CARFAX® • A sinister and spectacular triple black Roadster

the Murciélago LP640 has immortalized itself as one of the most iconic supercars of the 2000s. Originally purchased by an owner of a professional sports franchise in Texas, this devilish Murciélago would be acquired by its second and current owner in 2017, also a Texas enthusiast. He specifically wanted a Murciélago for its obvious good looks but equally for its drivability, believing it to be the best of the modern

conic, mesmerizing, revolutionary, and menacing are just a few words to describe the allure and swagger of the Murciélago. A raging bull that came full force onto the automotive scene in 2001, its legacy would last until 2010 when it was succeeded by the Aventador. A model chosen by celebrities, movie stars, professional athletes, and even by playboy crime-fighting vigilante billionaire Bruce Wayne in the 2008 Batman film, The Dark Knight,

era Lamborghinis, and determined that the ideal variant would be a triple black roadster. He has been meticulous in stewardship and it has always been kept in his climate-controlled garage. Sparingly driven and well-cared for throughout its 15 years of life, this LP640 presents with just 4,300 miles from new and is accompanied by a clean and thoroughly detailed CARFAX® report. A rare sighting, it is 1 of just 223 Murciélago LP640 Roadsters delivered to the U.S. of the 425 built worldwide between 2006 and 2010. Furthering its unicorn status, it is believed this is 1 of just 57 Roadsters built for the 2009 model year, which is the second lowest Roadster production year of all Murciélagos. Behind the scissor doors lies a sumptuous interior, which features black diamond leather with subtle yellow stitching, which is consistent throughout the entirety of the cockpit and mirrors the same color scheme of the crime-fighting vigilante, Batman. The cabin is also equipped with a Kenwood touchscreen radio with CD and modern Bluetooth capabilities. The howl of the naturally aspirated 640 horsepower 6.5-litre V-12 engine is an experience in itself – one that resonates with its occupants long after the car has been parked. The all-wheel drive bull’s performance numbers only get better, as this Lambo has the ability to devour a quarter mile in 11 seconds, while on its way to achieving

a top speed of 209 miles per hour. With so much power and speed, it's only right that it is fitted with proper carbon ceramic brakes. Most recently in December of 2023, this Murciélago was delivered to Lamborghini specialists Norwood Auto Italia in Carrollton, Texas for an annual servicing, which consisted of engine inspection, brake adjustment, oil change, and complete fluid change, as well as replacing the battery. While at Norwood, the clutch was tested to indicate 64 percent in reserve. Work totaled approximately $4,500 and is documented by invoice sheets on file. The soft top, car cover, set of keys, and battery tender accompany the car. In the world of automotive excellence, this menacing triple black Murciélago Roadster stands as a timeless testament to the marriage of power, precision, and unparalleled design. It is a symphony of speed, sophistication, and swagger that still effortlessly ignites the passion, adventure, curiosity, and desire that dwells within all generations of onlookers and enthusiasts alike. With low miles, only two owners from new, a clean CARFAX®, and a recent full service, this rare triple black Murciélago LP640 Roadster is perfectly positioned to continue to rise in value and desirability as it is poised to become one of the most coveted modern examples of the rare breed.

VIN: 9CM266385 • A restored and unmodified example • Finished in attractive Tampico Red Metallic • Part of The Ron Thorne Collection since the 1980s

From The Ron Thorne Collection | 1949 Mercury Coupe

he new Mercury was introduced to the car-buying public two months before the 1949 Ford was shown on June 10th, 1948. The Mercury and the Lincoln were among the first all-new post-war cars offered to the public, along with Kaiser-Frazer and Studebaker. The new Mercury bodies were sleeker, lower and so pleasing that they quickly gained a cult-like following among the younger generations. It also became a favorite for hot-rodders and custom builders, making original and unmodified examples like this one particularly hard to find today. Most notably for the post-war Mercury, was the performance under the hood. Displacement was now 255 cubic inches, instead of 239. This also upped the horsepower by 10, now rating it at 110 horsepower, which came from reshaping the cylinder

heads and pistons. All these improvements made Mercury a hot and fast one on the street, as they could achieve an honest 90 miles per hour, making the '49 Mercury one of the fastest production vehicles of its time. First acquired by Ron Thorne in 1989 from Monte Shelton Motor Co. of Portland, Oregon while at the Portland Swap Meet, this 1949 Mercury Coupe would become a long-term resident of his magnificent Early Ford V-8 and Mercury collection. Sporting a comprehensive restoration, the exterior is painted in a classic Mercury color of Tampico Red Metallic, which was only available for coupes. The brightwork shines nicely and evenly throughout and complementing its astute stance. Factory options equipped on this Mercury include rear skirts, a grille guard, trim rings,

wind deflectors, an interior clock, a radio, and a period spare tire and jack. Just like the aesthetics of this six-passenger coupe, the mechanicals are also in top order. The 110-horsepower, 255-cubic-inch V-8 engine is nicely detailed and fires right up, allowing for its owner to confidently slide in and go. With room for six, it is an ideal candidate to pile the family in and go for an afternoon cruise or weekend getaway. Residing in The Ron Thorne Collection since the 1980s, this nicely restored example presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the last cars to be offered from what was once one of the largest Early Ford and Mercury collections in the country.

1967 Porsche 911S • First year for the highly desirable 911S • Numbers-matching engine and transaxle per its Kardex • 2023 major engine-out service performed; Titled, track ready and and completely street legal • Successful participant in the 2023 Tejas Turismo – a three-day, 800-mile Texas Hill Country Rally • The ultimate expression of one of the most desirable 911 models

rom launch, the 911S has been the hands-down favorite of driving enthusiasts around the world, with the early shortwheelbase examples providing exceptional performance and unmatched levels of driver and machine interaction. The highperformance “S” or “Super” debuted in 1966 for the 1967 model

year and benefited from the lessons learned in competition, quickly giving rise to lightweight racing variants that dominated their respective classes. Main “S” upgrades included a compression boost to 9.8:1, forged pistons with raised crowns, stronger connecting-rods, high-performance camshafts with increased

overlap, enlarged valves, Weber IDS carburetors, and revised exhaust ducting, plus ventilated disc brakes and high-performance chassis revisions. Top speed performance approached, and sometimes exceeded, 140 miles per hour. When new, Porsche advertising copy provocatively described the 911S as “…no car for the novice.” However, the Car and Driver magazine’s road test report of the 911S found the car easier to live with and enjoy, dispelling the reputed “peakiness” and oversteering tendencies normally ascribed to the car over the intervening 45-plus years since its debut. During their time with the 911S, Car and Driver testers clocked a blistering 6.5-second sprint from rest to 60 mph, enroute to a strong 15.2-second trip over the quarter mile. Interestingly, the Car and Driver report claimed that this performance was achieved with a test car that was not tuned or dealer-prepared prior to the test. Offered from the first year of the 911S, comes this 1967 Porsche 911S Coupe, which many, if not all Porsche aficionados will agree, is the most desirable and best driving variant. Documented by its Kardex, it retains its numbers-matching engine and transaxle, a rare combination to come across in today’s age. An accomplished race car from 1996 to 2012, it has undergone a professional ‘reversion’ back to its ‘period style’ race form in 2023. Paying homage to one of the most historic racing liveries in existence, team Martini and Rossi, this streetlegal race car was properly outfitted and upgraded with Sheridan Motorsports Amber engine shrouds, engine surround tin, fan block-offs, as well as rain shields to protect the engine. Also included in the upgrade were new engine and transaxle mounts,

a restored and rebuilt transaxle by Bill Rader Motorsports, a rebuild of the carburetors, new spark plugs, wires, and retainers, new BILSTEIN shocks, Pilot bearings, a replacement fuel cell placed in the trunk, and many other items. To meet racing standards, this 911S has Hoosier Vintage Speedster tires and lug nuts. The interior is presented with RS touring black leatherette/corduroy sport seats with Deist harness seatbelts and are flanked by frame rails. Other interior items include 911R ribbed floor mats and RS carpet set, 911R steering wheel assembly, horn kit, and a finely detailed dash. A member of the Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing Club, this Porsche has partaken in multiple GT5s class races and is accompanied by a complete log book of all the races it participated in from 1996 to 2012. Within the last year, this example was the recipient of a complete engine-out servicing, which is documented by photos, and a participant of a dyno test to dial in the tune. Most recently, this 911S Coupe partook on the 2023 Tejas Turismo, a Texas Hill Country Rally, where its driver and current owner praised its performance, so much so, that he began to have second thoughts about selling this Porsche when recalling the event. This is a true testament to its performance and the enjoyment it brings to its owners. After the tour, it was dry ice blasted and thoroughly detailed, leaving it in spotless condition. Robed in an iconic racing livery, and ready to be thoroughly enjoyed on the street or the track, this first-year, 1967 Porsche 911S Coupe is the ultimate driver's car with unsurpassed usability and eye appeal. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is sold on a Texas bonded title.

1934 Packard 1104 Super Eight Victoria Convertible • Dietrich-inspired design, CCCA Full Classic® • Well-appointed and collector maintained • Excellent mechanical condition

• Desirable and attractive body style • A comfortable, drivable open classic with superb eye appeal

enviable, styling was unbeatable and only the finest craftsmen were employed to create these legendary automobiles. Packard was confident that their elite clientele would soon be flocking back into their showrooms across the nation wanting the best America had to offer. From the entry level Eights to the sophisticated Twelves, Packard had something for everyone. That is, everyone who had any money left to purchase one of these handsome vehicles. For

opes were springing eternal in August of 1933, that gray skies were going to clear; it was time to put on a happy face. Packard, America’s premier luxury car maker before America’s worst depression, was looking for prosperity to be right around the corner when they introduced their 11th Series of fine automobiles. Their lineup presented the most refined, luxurious, and trendsetting cars of the day. Engineering was above reproach, performance was

those who wanted style and performance, the Super Eight line was unbeatable. Starting with the lowest priced 1103 sedan on the 135-inch wheelbase, this was followed by the 1104 Series on the 142-inch chassis which offered 12 catalog models including the Model 767, the handsome Convertible Victoria. For those who were looking for a bit of dash and flair and seeking motoring excitement, the fabulous Victoria Convertible was just what the doctor ordered. Styling at Packard had been penned by Raymond Dietrich while working with the Murray Corporation. Ed Macauley, Packard’s Styling Director, also enlisted the talents of Alexis de Sakhnoffsky who contributed his unique sense of form, flow and streamlining, complementing Dietrich’s original work. For 1934, the Super Eights exuded quality as well as a combination of luxury, comfort, quiet operation, and on-the-road performance, all which Packard was justifiably famous for. Despite sagging numbers of buyers, the quality was still every bit as near perfection as ever, and you could still ask the man who owned one and get the proudest response of confidence. Arguably one of the most attractive and soughtafter models in the Super Eight line was the Victoria Convertible. With superior craftsmanship, it presents the elegant designs that Dietrich created, and this example is finished in pleasing shades of tan and burgundy and highlighted with brilliant red pinstriping. Each front fender is fitted with the optional enclosed dual side-mounted spare tires which would have tacked on another $65 to the $3,640 base price. Interior space for this beautiful convertible allows comfortable seating for up to four adults on supple fine-grain leather in a pleasing tan color; the integrated rear trunk provides room

for enough luggage for a weekend jaunt. For longer excursions, an optional fold-down trunk rack is affixed. Fitted with a proper set of six chrome wire wheels, this lovely Packard rolls on a set of Firestone 7.00 x 17 “High Speed” white sidewall tires. Centered in the dashboard is one of the most attractive collections of instruments, of which all gauges are functioning as originally designed in this example. Showing just over 49,500 miles on the odometer, believed to be from new, it has it all including a “cats-eye” cigar lighter. The data plate shows the car was delivered from Packard’s Boston outlet and the plate number indicates this to be a rather early production example. Reports from the consignor are that this car has been in the hands of caring ownership since the 1950s and was treated to a complete restoration in the early 2000s with a subsequent owner freshening this convertible about 10 years ago. Always well-cared for, today this example presents itself in excellent condition. In a test drive, we were impressed with the ease of starting and the 384-cubic-inch inline Packard eight-cylinder engine roared to life. Shifting was effortless and steering was just as responsive 90 years after its construction as the day it rolled off the assembly floor. Even the vacuum-assisted brakes work quietly and smoothly. The chrome work is showroom quality and those distinctive Packard headlights, accompanied by their miniature counterparts on each fender, let people know this is a car of the highest distinction. Gliding down the road with the Goddess of Speed mascot leading the way, it is approriately fit for both concours level exhibition and touring and will be well received at important car events throughout the nation.

1973 1/2 Porsche 911T Targa • All-original, matching-numbers "garage find" • Iconic long-nose configuration, last year of 2.4-litre and first year for CIS fuel injection • Engine-out servicing completed in 2021

• Equipped with factory-option Fuchs alloy wheels and power windows • Recent dry ice detailing of undercarriage, interior detail, oxidation removal and body glazing

he 1973 ½ Porsche 911 is an incredibly desirable year for 911 enthusiasts. The latter half of 1973 became the swan song for the iconic long-nose profile, it was the last year for the dependable and formidable 2.4-litre engine and it ushered in the first year for the Bosch fuel-injection system. No other production year ticks every box. This particular example impressively retains all matching numbers and has recently undergone a comprehensive, engine-out service. The labyrinthine tale of the 1973 ½ 911 begins when Porsche carved up the production year into two segments. The latter half of the production year shifted their MFI (mechanical fuel injection) for the American market to the Bosch K-Jetronic Centralized Fuel Injection (CIS), which they would successfully utilize for the next ten years. What this model has that the later years with CIS do not, is the legendary long-nose profile that the majority of 911 enthusiasts clamor for. This was a result of U.S. safety regulations that required additional safety measures to the front end of a car that inevitably led to a shortened hood. This split-year model was also the end of the 2.4-litre, six-cylinder engine that is loved for its reliability and excellent performance. Total production for the 1973 ½ 911 was a mere 1,944, which makes them even more desirable when wholly intact today. This particular example is one of those rare survivors. Robed in Porsche Gemini Metallic Blue (code

335) over black interior, VIN 9113111072 boasts matching numbers for engine number 6133192 and the manual five-speed transaxle, number 7335376. Martin Masters of Greenville, South Carolina purchased this car back in 1997 then sold it to Dennis Collins of YouTube’s Coffee Walk. Mr. Collins’ team mechanically put this car through its paces, and it is now truly ready to run. The all-original 911T Targa has undergone comprehensive engine-out servicing in 2021 under Mr. Collins’ ownership and offers sheer, knuckle-whitening performance. With a hefty dose of patina to its original paint, the car has recently received oxidation removal and glazing of the paint, but still has nicks and significant scratches throughout. Equipped with racy, factoryoption Fuchs alloy wheels and power windows, the car also boasts the iconic targa top. The interior has received a recent detail, and the undercarriage has undergone dry ice detailing as well. Inside the cabin, the attractive black on charcoal grey interior has significant wear including a tear in the driver’s seat, cracking of the leather-wrapped steering wheel, patina throughout, and loosening of the targa lining. However, the gauges and carpeting are in nice condition. This numbers-matching car is mechanically primed to enjoy immediately, while an investment in cosmetic restoration could make this desirable 1973 ½ Porsche 911T Targa the whole package and a gem in any Porsche enthusiast’s collection. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is titled as a 1973.

The GT40 went on to become a legend and it was only natural that Ford decided to honor the memory of this incredible car with a modern and updated version that could be driven on both the track and the open road. Built using space-age materials and construction techniques, each GT was manufactured in five stages with initial assembly performed by Norwalk, Ohio's Mayflower Vehicle Systems; paint by Saleen

he coveted first place finish at Le Mans has proved elusive to many of the world’s greatest car builders. Bentley set the mark VIN: 1FAFP90S55Y400453 rather early with four consecutive wins from 1927-1930. Many others laid claim to victory at the Mulsanne Straight but, when Ford went in search of bragging rights in the 1960s, they did so with gusto. So successful was their GT40 program that they actually managed to match Bentley’s record with four straight wins from 1966-1969.

Special Vehicles in Troy, Michigan; engine assembly at Ford's Romeo, Michigan engine plant; and finally, the engine and transmission installation and interior finishing at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant.

Demand far outstripped supply, with early cars selling for substantial premiums over the basic Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price and prospective buyers vying for vehicle production slots.

Presented in nearly new condition, this investment-grade Ford GT shows just 2,517 miles from new and is accompanied by a clean CARFAX®, which shows this GT has had just one registered owner since new.

It is every bit exhilarating to drive as it appears; the 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 engine is paired with a factory Eaton supercharger that produces an arousing 550 horsepower and completes a 0 to 60 time in a blazing 3.3 seconds. Paired with a six-speed Ricardo manual transmission and helical limited-slip differential, this Ford GT is one of the best analog supercar experiences one can possibly find. Along with the clean CARFAX®, this Ford GT comes with an array of factory paperwork and factory manuals.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS5 SS Convertible • LS5 454 engine with upgraded five-speed manual transmission • Beautiful fit and finish with excellent chrome and trim • Wilwood power disc brakes, power steering, and air-conditioning • Correct red Strato bucket seat interior in excellent condition

ntroduced on September 26th, 1963, the Chevelle would stay in production until 1977. It thrived in the muscle car era, and Chevelles were offered in nearly every body style - everything from a two-door coupe to a four-door wagon. The first SS model made its debut in 1966, and in 1970, General Motors rescinded its edict that limited mid-sized cars to 400 cubic inches, and the Chevelle

ran right to the top of the list. As with all 1970 Chevelles, the LS5’s exterior was refreshed, with the angles of the '68 and '69 models squared-off. A completely restyled front fascia was highlighted by body-colored headlight surrounds and twin thin horizontal grilles bisected by a body-color bar. At the rear, the chrome bumper now incorporated rectangular taillights and an insert bestowed with the

SS logo. A very popular exterior option was the ZL2 cowl-induction hood which featured a solenoidoperated air intake flap at the rear of the hood that sucked in air to feed that thirsty Holley. The 1970 Chevelle SS 454s are the big dogs of Chevrolet's popular intermediate muscle cars in terms of value and performance, and the SS convertible, with a 454, is the rarest and subsequently regarded as the most valuable of the pack. This lovely SS Convertible has been meticulously restored from top to bottom, with a couple key upgrades for performance, while maintaining a largely period-correct factory look. Stunning body lines and impressive panel fit are obvious, with the fine tuxedo black paint highlighted by red SS stripes on the cowl-induction hood. The chrome and trim are excellent throughout, with clean trunk space and perfect glass in the entire car. The correct power soft top is taut and looks like new, so if you are lucky enough to win this car, be prepared for constant attention and adulation. This example rides on American Racing chrome wheels and modern radial tires, with a perfect stance. The LS5 454 is clean, accurate, and very impressive, with factory markings in place. You will see a couple of upgrades - the

Wilwood brakes and a modern five-speed manual transmission. The factory 12-bolt Positraction rear axle with 4:10 gears transfers power to the asphalt. This Chevelle fires up instantly, roars to life and all systems operate as they should. Inside, the new spotless red interior matches the paint graphics perfectly, with correct vinyl seat upholstery on the Strato bucket seats, excellent carpets, floor mats, and spotless door panels. The factory correct dash is new, with power steering and air-conditioning, AM/FM radio, tilt steering wheel, and full Chevelle gauge package. Soon, government regulations and unleaded gas would force every muscle car to tone down their high-performance engines, simply making these 1970 LS5 454-cubic-inch, 360-horsepower Chevelle SS convertibles even more rare and subsequently highly desirable. Considered the pinnacle year of the Chevelle as a muscle car, it’s the place where in 1970 only - immaculate styling met immaculate performance. There is nothing left to do but enjoy the ride, enter some classic car events, and enjoy owning one of the coolest SS convertibles available today.

1958 Porsche 356A Speedster • Just three owners from new; including 55 years of single ownership • Porsche COA, Kardex copy, and a large file of service records

• Stands ready for Porsche Club events and tours • Period upgrades include 912 engine and 356C disc brakes • A West Coast car its entire life; Upgraded Rudge-style wheels

Triumph, MG, and Austin-Healey were all available for significantly less, Porsche’s 356A was demanding $1,400 more than the newly introduced Austin-Healey 100. Porsche needed to deliver an equally affordable model that would also fit the bill for speed, looks, and maneuverability or be left in the dust in the American market. To meet the price point for a sleek sports car that could also compete as a racer, with Porsche’s know-how and Hoffman’s vision, Porsche

ne of the most desirable and recognizable models in Porsche’s illustrious history, the Porsche 356A/1600 Speedster was the creative love child of East Coast importer Max Hoffman in the U.S. and Porsche in Germany. This car may not have happened at all had it not been for the foresight of Max Hoffman who recognized a gap in Porsche’s flourishing American market. At a time when increasingly popular European sportscars like Jaguar’s XK120,

initially looked to Heuer-Glaser coachbuilder, but the result was over budget and a dismal failure. Nevertheless, Porsche forged ahead and teamed up with Reutter Coachworks out of Stuttgart and there a legend was born. As 1 of just 552 examples produced for the 1958 model year, this sleek Speedster has a history timeline that can be traced back to new, with just three owners pinned to it. Completed at the Stuttgart, Germany factory on November 26th, 1957, this Porsche would be purchased new in 1958 by David Fischer, a resident of California. This Speedster would remain with him until 1967 when the second owner began his stewardship on June 19, 1967, which is documented by a copy of the original California certificate of ownership. Just one year after he acquired this marvelous Porsche, he decided to upgrade the engine to a 912 motor for better performance and further equipped it with 356C disc brakes which provide greater and more reliable stopping power. Included in the sale is the original set of five date-coded wheels and the threepiece 1600 engine casing stamped with correct numbers matching those on the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Remaining with the second owner for an astonishing 55 years, this desirable 356A Speedster would become his prized possession. During his 55 years of ownership, he kept meticulous records and logs of everything that was performed, which included when the car was driven, fueled, cleaned, serviced, or tinkered with. In 1987, he and this trusty 356A Speedster would enter the La Carrera Classic Road Race in Mexico and run from Ensenada to San Felipe, which is documented by photos and adds to its already impressive history. An attentive

caretaker, he eventually made the decision to entrust his Speedster to the third and current owner - a collector who had been asking for over two decades for the opportunity, and with the promise, to invest in its preservation. The current owner followed through and commissioned a marque specialist to perform a major engine servicing, which consisted of tuning and synchronizing the carburetors, installing a new master cylinder, installing a new dual-exit sport exhaust and rebuilding the braking system. Along with the mechanical servicing, the paint was color-sanded and polished, and presents wonderfully with the original and well-preserved black leatherette interior. The car was also dry ice blasted, detailed and the undercoating was redone to factory specifications. Importantly, the car boasts its original floor pans and correct number stampings are evident on the doors, deck lid, and hood. Accompanying the sale of this desirable Speedster is its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, a copy of the original Kardex, a copy of the 1967 California certificate of ownership, photos from its road race in Mexico, an owner’s manual, floor jack, two sets of side curtains, a tonneau cover, and the large binder documenting the services performed during the 55 years of ownership by the second owner. Mechanically dialed in, this 356A presents a wonderful opportunity to experience a thrilling and historic Porsche on tours, at Porsche Club events, and on road trips alike. In today's 'instant gratification' society, this iconic speedster will provide instant enjoyment and satisfaction, making it an ideal acquisition for those that love to drive their cars.

1958 Volkswagen Type 2 Deluxe Samba '23-Window' Sunroof Microbus

nown as the 'Type 2", the design of Volkswagen's Beetlederived Transporter is credited to VW importer Ben Pon, who introduced Holland to the curious little Volkswagen. Mr. Pon made the first generally acknowledged rough sketches predicting the boxy Type 2 Transporter as early as 1947. Beginning with eight Transporters displayed publicly by late 1949, the first-generation Volkswagen Type 2 Transporters soon entered production and sold in ever-growing numbers until the first-generation models were phased out after 1967. The upscale 23-window Sunroof Deluxe Microbus, popular known as a "Samba," was designed with Alpine sightseeing and mountain touring in mind, and this machine now stands ready for that same mission.

1999 Plymouth Prowler Roadster • Just 8,533 documented miles from new • 3.5-liter aluminum V-6 engine • Highly detailed and in stunning condition with clean CARFAX® • Well-documented and meticulously maintained

n the early ‘90s, Chrysler engineers and stylists were given VIN: 1P3EW65G5XV504988 encouragement to design a retro-style hot rod, and Design Director Tom Gale took that ball and ran with it. Tom was an owner of a vintage ’32 Ford hot rod himself and approved the leadingedge design for introduction as a prototype in 1993. The Prowlers were famous for utilizing aluminum components, and were hand

assembled at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant. The Prowler's design was a striking mix of classic hot rod aesthetics and futuristic elements. Its iconic retro-futuristic style featured sleek, elongated lines, exposed front tires, and a distinct grille paying homage to vintage hot rods. Its perimeter frame is extruded 6061 aluminum tubing bent into shape around mandrels. The main body tub is

sheet aluminum held together with self-piercing rivets and industrial adhesives. Suspension control arms were made using a hybrid die-casting/forging operation known as semi-solid metal (SSM) forming, and even the rear brake rotors were aluminum. This lovely Prowler was upgraded, like all 1999 models, right from the factory with an aluminum block 253-horsepower V-6 engine coupled to a four-speed auto stick transmission, uniquely located at the rear of the vehicle. The two-seat roadster features a torque tube joining the transmission to the engine, in a similar manner to the Corvette and the Porsche 944. It helps the car achieve a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution for superior handling. It will push 126-mph top speed and make as many under six second 0-60 runs as you wish. This Prowler is equipped with many features that would allow it to be your comfortable daily driver, such as keyless entry, power windows and power locks, dual airbags, and air-conditioning. The interior is very roomy, spotlessly clean, with comfortable and supportive seats, leather-trimmed steering wheel, and an AM/FM cassette high-fidelity sound system. This fine example has just 8,533 original miles,

as certified by its clean CARFAX® report, and the condition supports such low mileage. It’s simply like buying a brand-new Prowler, with a beautiful paint finish, no marks or dings, and a completely factory look. The paint finish is spotless. The interior - virtually not a mark on it. Pop the bonnet and it looks just like new. From top to bottom, this car has obviously been lightly used and pampered since new. The shine is impeccable, it is mechanically sound, and represents a very unique opportunity for one lucky buyer. A quick test drive confirms the Prowler’s balance and power. The car starts right up, idles smoothly, sounds fantastic, and is really quick, yet very easy to drive. The handling is wonderfully balanced; you can easily enjoy either open or covered motoring, and it features all the modern amenities you could ever want. This Prowler includes all factory receipts, manuals, and the CARFAX® report, which proves prior ownership, service records, and a 100% clean accident history. This is a chance to buy one of the best - an ultra-low mileage example in incredible condition throughout. It is a Plymouth that will simply never lose its dramatic appeal or its important place in American automotive history.

Custom Coachwork by Darrin

1941 Packard Custom Super Eight 180 Victoria Convertible • Number 9 of just 35 Darrin Victorias built for 1941 • Outstanding “Dutch” Darrin design • Believed to be 1 of only 3 built with running boards

s the custom coachbuilding industry faded out of existence in the early 1940s, American luxury automakers slowly discontinued the factory-catalogued “semi-customs” that had topped their lines for over a decade. Packard was among the last to offer bodies by coachbuilders Rollson and LeBaron, with the latter being a division of Briggs by 1941, but it still produced beautifully appointed and largely hand-built bodies in limited numbers. Then enter stylist Howard “Dutch” Darrin, actor Clark Gable, and Packard’s President Alvan Macauley. Born

• Offered with shop manual, fender skirts, photos, and documentation • Extensive list of exhibitions and awards; CCCA Full Classic® in Cranford, New Jersey, in 1897, Howard “Dutch” Darrin was an American WWI fighting ace, designer, inventor, and entrepreneur who became fascinated by automobiles at an early age. In 1923, Darrin and fellow American Thomas Hibbard sailed for Paris to help a New York Minerva distributorship establish a relationship with Hispano-Suiza. It was not long before they established Carrosserie Hibbard and Darrin, leased space on the Champs-Élysées, and, until 1929, created wonderful coach-built motorcars for the world’s elite. After Hibbard

returned to the U.S. in 1931 to take a position with General Motors, Darrin connected with J. Fernandez, a Parisian banker interested in coachbuilding and with the financial means to continue Darrin’s work. Fernandez et Darrin was formed, and they produced an average of 120 coach-built masterpieces each year. With the lead-up to WWII, Darrin moved back to Hollywood, California in 1937 and set up shop as Darrin of Paris, hoping to capitalize on his Hollywood connections. He knew the high-powered stars loved the beauty, quality, and prestige of Packard automobiles but desired flashier body styles than anything Packard offered. He soon began modifying Packards with bodies of his own design. The cars were swoopy, featuring vee’d windshields, padded dashboards, and bucket seats, and the Victorias had the famous “Darrin Dip” cut-down doors. Darrin sold cars to such Hollywood luminaries as Gloria Swanson, Tyrone Power, Al Jolson, and Errol Flynn. Initially, he could not convince Packard to include his designs as a factory offering, but in 1939, when The Hollywood Reporter mentioned Clark Gable’s Darrin-designed Packard in an article, Packard President Alvan Macauley could not resist. Packard struck a deal to include Darrin’s designs in their 1940 catalogue. Sold new at Ed Lee Packard-Studebaker dealership on Palafox Road in Pensacola, Florida, this example was delivered to its original owner on May 27, 1941. Ownership history includes Nick DeAngelis, a dedicated Packard enthusiast from Belleville, New Jersey. In the 1990s, MBNA co-founder Charles Cawley acquired this handsome convertible and displayed it at several prestigious events. Under his ownership, it was invited to the Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance in 1995, and in 1999, was prominent at the Meadowbrook Concours d’ Elegance. In the early 2000s this Packard Darrin convertible traded hands and went into the Ray Lutgert Collection of Naples, Florida. Lutgert then traded the car to a friend and fellow collector, Cornelius Wentges who in turn sold it to Lloyd Cranford from Long Beach, California, in 2006. The following year it was displayed at the Los Angeles Concours d’ Elegance, where it received a Second Overall Award, followed by the Newport Beach Concours d’

Elegance staged in Dana Point, California where it received the Best Paint Award by Meguiar’s Car Care Products. In 2010, Mr. Cranford exhibited this Super Eight at the Coastline Car Classic in Corona del Mar where it was presented with First in Class honors. In 2011, it received Best in Show honors at the Packards International Meet in Orange, California and was shown at Pebble Beach for the 2012 Concours d’ Elegance. Soon after, it was invited to be a part of the Darrin Exhibition at the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo, California in 2015. It was later displayed at such events as the Palos Verdes Concours d’ Elegance, the Benedict Castle Concours in Riverside, taking First Place honors, and La Jolla Concours d’ Elegance in San Diego, where it scored First in Class. The list of numerous awards and accolades is impressive to say the least. Today it is presented in a deep reflective black with gleaming chrome plated brightwork and the interior is fitted with luxurious oxblood leathers. This 1941 Packard Custom Super Eight 180 Convertible Victoria is an enduring testament to the designs and style of Darrin and combined with the skilled craftsmen at Packard. An accomplished show winner, it is one of only three known to be fitted with running boards. Among the other special appointments, it features an original Packard radio, fender skirts and a rare “K” multi-spoke steering wheel. Believed to have been restored by Grey Hills Auto Restoration in New Jersey, the car was more recently refreshed by Robert Escalante’s renowned Custom Auto Service, in Santa Ana, California, where it received new carpeting, top, and wiring harness, as well as freshened brightwork. A shop manual, service records and receipts accompany this extraordinary Darrin. It is well-known and admired in the Packard community and is a proven concours contender that has garnered awards at numerous shows on the West Coast. As 1 of only 35 of these custom-bodied beauties were produced in 1941, they are often regarded as the very best version of all the Darrins built during the short production run. It checks all the boxes for the enthusiast or collector that wants to add a truly special piece of the Classic Era to their collection.

body was extensively tested and tweaked for aerodynamics in wind tunnels with the resulting design being a radical shift from previous models. The outgoing Corvette’s signature open quad headlights were replaced with hideaway headlamps, which would become a Corvette staple. In addition to the familiar convertible body style, customers were also offered the choice of a coupe for

he second-generation Chevrolet Corvette, affectionately referred to as the “C2" or "mid-year” models by enthusiasts today, debuted for the 1963 model year. The culmination of more than half a decade of research both on and off the track, it was an instant sensation with its show-stopping, aerodynamic design by Corvette masterminds Bill Mitchell and Zora Arkus-Duntov. The

the first time. Another Corvette first, Arkus-Duntov and Mitchell bestowed the name Sting Ray on their new creation, after a racecar they had developed in secret at General Motors. A ladder-type frame replaced the X-type frame of the previous generation, which lowered the center of gravity while also improving handling. The solid rear axle gave way to a fully independent suspension. Like before, the body was made of fiberglass to save weight, but benefitted from nearly twice as much steel reinforcement as on earlier models. The standard engine remained a 327-cubic-inch V-8 rated at 250 horsepower. As with the outgoing generation, several uprated engine options were available, including the impressive L76 V-8; this was the most powerful carbureted engine available for the Corvette in 1965, rated at 365 horsepower. However, this fuel-injected L84 V-8 Sting Ray was ordered with the most powerful engine available at an astonishing 375 horsepower. It is interesting to note that the 1965 model year would prove to be the only time one could order a C2 Sting Ray with two modern driving conveniences: fuel injection and four-wheel disc brakes. This combination, which we take for granted today, would not be offered together again on a Corvette until 1982 when fuel injection was reintroduced. With only 771 of 15,376 1965 Corvette Sting Rays specified with the Rochester Ramjet fuel injection option, you almost can’t blame Chevrolet for striking it from the dealer catalog at the end of the model year, even as this relative rarity when new has made fuel-injected C2s among the most valuable and

highly sought-after of all Corvette variants today. This stunning Milano Maroon, fuel-injected Corvette Sting Ray Coupe is an exquisite, welloptioned, and meticulously restored example of a mid-year exotic rarity. It is equipped now, just as it left the Bowling Green factory, with optional AO1 Soft-Ray tinted glass, N36 telescoping steering column, teak wood steering wheel, F40 performance suspension and highly desirable and attractive P48 cast aluminum wheels. Starting with a solid, 65,000mile original, all numbers-matching drivetrain, including matching engine, fuel injection system, transmission and 3:36 rear end, this rare Corvette was subject to a meticulous, every nut and bolt restoration. The paint, fit and finish on this Corvette are truly exceptional. The cost of the restoration was in excess of $100,000. The restoration was painstakingly documented and compiled into a folder that is five inches thick and accompanies the car. All the tedious detail and high quality of the restoration efforts were rewarded when this Corvette received a coveted NCRS Top Flight award and certification. Original paperwork, bill of sale, dealer packet, window sticker and GM ProtectO-Plate are also included. Highly documented, numbers matching, beautifully and authentically restored, rare and equipped with its original Rochester fuel injection, this 1965 Corvette is highly desirable in every way. You would be hard pressed to find another 1965 Corvette that checks every box of a blue chip collector-grade car. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the vehicle, the title reads exempt.

Coachwork by Vignale

1971 Maserati Indy • Numbers-matching 4.2L engine mated to a five-speed manual ZF gearbox • Outstanding design and comfort • Original Campagnolo alloy wheels and four-wheel disc brakes

fter the success of the two-seat Ghibli that had been introduced in 1967, and with coachwork from Ghia, the following year would see the 2+2 Indy come into production. It was Maserati’s first unit-body construction vehicle, this time turning to Carrozzeria Vignale for styling. Unveiled at the 1968 edition of the Turin Motor Show as part of Vignale’s exhibition, it would not be until March of the following year at the Geneva Motor Show when Maserati

showed the new Indy and started taking orders. Named to honor the marque’s back-to-back wins at the Indianapolis 500 races in 1939 and 1940, this was no race car; rather, it was a civilized touring car designed for the road. Being able to accompany four passengers, the roofline was a bit more extended than the Ghibli’s; however, Vignale’s Giovanni Michelotti did an excellent job of creating a wind-splitting wedge design. Featuring independent front

suspension with rear-wheel drive and leaf springs, it was conventional in many ways, but with modern looks and the latest in body assembly techniques. Four occupants could ride in comfort which is something few other 2+2 sports cars of the day could claim. Among the list of standard equipment for this model was air-conditioning and power steering, as well as disc brakes on all four wheels. One magazine of the day, Autocar, published its thoughts on the Indy stating, “Classic touring car with V-8 engine and 160 mph potential. Beautifully smooth power unit, silky gearbox and light, powerassisted steering. Good brakes, balanced handling, comfortable ride, superb stability. High price but few disappointments.” On offer is this attractive 1971 Maserati Indy showing some 44,683 kilometres on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Wearing an attractive blue exterior with a complementary black leather interior,

the 1971 Maserati Indy exudes timeless elegance. The sleek and aerodynamic lines of this grand tourer create a visually captivating presence. From its distinctive front grille to the bold curves of its body, the Indy boasts a design that turns heads and commands attention. Despite its age, this Maserati remains a testament to the Italian brand's commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. Under the hood, the 1971 Maserati Indy houses a 4.2-litre matching-numbers engine, with its quartet of Weber carburetors, which provides an exhilarating performance. The engine, combined with the rare five-speed manual gearbox, offers a truly engaging driving experience. Whether cruising on open highways or tackling winding roads, the Indy delivers a dynamic and spirited ride, showcasing Maserati's dedication to creating cars that are both luxurious and thrilling to drive.

In total, 6,228 ‘Cuda Hardtops were built and installation of this power plant by any definition was rare, as just 237 in all ‘Cuda production for 1971 chose the 440-6 V-8, and fewer combined it with the four-speed manual transmission.

The combination of engine and transmission makes this a rare car, as it is 1 of only 108 four-speed cars built in 1971.

1958 Cadil ac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible • Equipped with power steering, power brakes, and power top • Upgraded 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine

• Highly original paint and bodywork • A wonderful touring vehicle with room for six

valuable American cars of the era. Up front, massive bumpers and quad headlamps became the norm, along with a larger and wider grille accented by cylindrical ''cleats'' that connected horizontal and vertical cross-members. The Dagmar bumper guards, and parking lights were also relocated to a lower portion of the front end. Down the sides, the trim became more refined and featured five horizontal wind splints ahead of the rear wheel housings, and the huge ’57 tailfins were a bit less pronounced,

958 was a tough year for the U.S. auto industry, with the United States' automotive economy suffering from a slight recession which stifled sales for the first time since World War II. For Cadillac, that downturn amounted to the GM marque selling 25,000 fewer units in 1958 from the previous year, even after redesigning every Cadillac model for 1958. From a profit perspective, 1958 was hardly the kind of year that was expected for Cadillac, but design-wise, the “Tri-Five” Cadillacs are among the most recognizable and

with the rear bumper retaining its split design. Sitting atop Cadillac's convertible hierarchy was the Eldorado Biarritz, sporting elevated trim and improved standard features. Production was just 815 units, with a base price of $7,500 for the 223-inchlong luxury convertible. It remains an iconic ‘50s luxury car to this day, with perhaps only a Lincoln Continental Mark II as any worthy American-made competition. This fine example is highly original in its presentation, with excellent body and trim, and sports an upgraded 1962 Cadillac 390-cubicinch V-8 engine and automatic transmission that adds just a bit of performance as expected. The car rides on correct wide whitewall tires and the factory hubcaps, and certainly will create a lot of attention wherever it is driven. Everything fits beautifully, including its red convertible top, and it stands ready to impress at touring events or car shows. Likewise, the original red and white leather interior is in

excellent condition, along with clean carpets and an amazing chrome-accented dash with speedometer, temperature, and fuel gauges, along with a pushbutton AM radio and factory clock. Power brakes, power steering, and a power convertible top are standard, along with a correct red top boot in great condition. A power front seat completes the package, along with the then-revolutionary Autronic Eye which would automatically dim your bright headlamps when another car approached. Leg room is abundant, both front and back, with legitimate room for six passengers and all their luggage. Whether this is your first classic car, or an addition to your current collection, few vehicles elicit the swoons and attention you’ll receive driving this 1958 Eldorado Biarritz Convertible - simply one of the most recognizable and beautiful vehicles from the entire tailfin era.

1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427/390 Roadster • Recipient of a ground-up restoration • NCRS Top Flight award winner • Numbers-matching 427/390 HP Turbo Fire V-8 engine • Accompanied by a copy of the window sticker and a copy of its NCRS Certificate

ntroduced in 1968, the new third-generation Corvette was inspired by the Larry Shinoda-designed Mako Shark II concept car that debuted at Paris in 1965. Two were built, with the first display-only and the second fully functional. Reportedly, the second Mako Shark II was so popular on the show circuit that even GM design head, Bill Mitchell, was unable to get it for personal use. Beneath its sleek

new bodywork, the C3 Corvette retained the excellent C2 chassis and its many available powertrains. Race bred performance and handling remained outstanding, thanks to Zora Arkus-Duntov and his Corvette engineering team. Labor strife extended 1969-model production and assembly quality was particularly good.

Once available in Chevy showrooms, the new Corvette sold better than ever before with production of approximately 28,600 and 39,000 units for 1968 and 1969, respectively. The basic design continued with refinements through 1982 and adapted very well to the changing buyer demands and tightening regulatory environment of the late 1960s and the 1970s. Above all, the C3 Corvette continued its reign as America’s quickest and fastest series-production sports car for most of its run. For 1969, the best choice big-block Corvette engine was the 427 developing 390 rated horsepower and 460 pounds-feet of torque. Despite such a massive output, the Gen 3 Corvette was easy to maintain with its single Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and hydraulic valve train. Priced at just $221 over the Corvette's base price, the 427 was a fantastic high-performance bargain. Today, original 427/390 Corvettes continue to offer outstanding performance with real-world drivability. A striking example from 1969, this Corvette Roadster is robed in the eye-catching color of Daytona Yellow over a black interior. A recipient

of an older comprehensive restoration that still presents very well today, it would garner an NCRS Top Flight award in the late ‘90s. Retaining its numbers matching 427-cubic-inch 390-horsepower Turbo Fire V-8 engine which is combined with a four-speed manual transmission and power fourwheel disc brakes, its desirability and drivability are greatly enhanced and is a joy to drive especially with the top down. Under the hood, one will find a well-detailed and clean engine bay that entails all the correct components, as well as a four-barrel carburetor, polished air cleaner, polished valve covers, and even a smog pump. Other notable features include turbine-style wheel covers, dual exhaust, bucket seats with headrests, a center console, and a Delco AM/FM radio. Accompanying this desirable big-block, fourspeed Roadster is a reproduction window sticker, a copy of its NCRS Certificate, a radio manual, and an owner’s manual. Properly restored and ready for spirited open-air driving, this numbersmatching Daytona Yellow Corvette Roadster is ready to be thoroughly enjoyed or shown by its next enthusiastic owner.

winging Sixties British styling and Carroll Shelby-designed American power combined to produce the Sunbeam Tiger, VIN: B9470047 which immediately dazzled prospective buyers on both sides Engine No: 1024 Body of the Atlantic. Today, the Sunbeam Tiger MK I is a rare example No: 55001 of the Shelby legacy that is as unique and eye-catching on the ROTA No: 1/0001JAL body pavement as it is an enticing joy to drive. This 1964 example is Key No: ST837 FS884

not just a survivor of the rare British sports car, it is body number one, and serial number 47, which easily steals the Holy Grail slot for Coffee Walk producer, Dennis Collins’ perpetually impressive lineup. England’s Rootes Group excelled in the styling department with its alluring Sunbeam Alpine, featured in Hitchcock’s Mediterranean-kissed “To Catch a Thief” with Grace Kelly behind the wheel, but the boutique

firm lagged behind the formidable British competition when it came to performance. They initially looked to Ferrari to equip their sports car with a viable powertrain, but the deal never quite came to fruition. Following the smashing success of AC’s matchup with Carroll Shelby’s Cobra, the founder’s son, Brian Rootes, looked across the Atlantic for an envelope-pushing powerhouse. An agreement was struck for Shelby to equip the Sunbeam with a modified 260-cubic-inch Ford V-8 for $10,000 in eight weeks. Brian’s father, Lord Rootes, had serious misgivings when he heard his son had secured Shelby to build the prototype, but that hesitancy quickly gave way to elation upon driving the car for the first time. He immediately ordered Shelby to produce 3,000, the largest order of Ford engines produced outside a government contract. The agreement reached would have the order ready for the New York Auto Show of 1964 in just eight months. Shelby received a percentage of each car built in exchange for delivering the V-8s mated to four-speed transmissions for the Oxfordshire pressed-steel bodies that would be finished by Jensen. The former Alpine became the Tiger and would also boast modifications including modern rack-and-pinion steering, an electric fuel pump, and dual exhaust as well as a new wooden dash and steering wheel. The body had a Tiger script on the front fenders with V-8 emblazoned below, the front end sported a sleek grille opening with a horizontal bar and the Sunbeam emblem was perched in the center. Body #1, this 1964 Sunbeam Tiger was the first body pressed by the Jensen factory as its 0001JAL number and ROTA (Rootes Order Tiger Assembly) number 1 will attest. However, it was completed in batch on June 27, 1964, as they waited for transmissions, making it serial number 47. This Tiger was delivered to Danyluk Motors in Glendale, California where it was sold to its first

owner, Martin Prager. ROTA number 1 was then sold to Kenneth H. Miller of North Hollywood, California in 1966. Brett Simpson of Washington purchased the car in 1995 and conducted a comprehensive, well-documented restoration that would conclude in 1999. The car not only carries the all-important 2018 Certificate of Authenticity from the Sunbeam Tiger Owners Association, but it also has a COA from the Coventry Transport Museum as well. This inaugural car graces the back cover of The Book of Norman, the definitive text of the Sunbeam Tiger, and is featured in Mustangs and Fords magazine, Tiger Tracks, and an episode of Dennis Collins’ YouTube Channel, Coffee Walk. It is accompanied by a treasure trove of original documentation including the owner’s service book, owner’s handbook, inspection slips, service records, restoration history and ownership papers that chronicle the journey of its life through three owners. When the fourth owner, Dennis Collins, purchased the car on an episode of Coffee Walk, Body #1 had been driven a total of 10 miles since its restoration. The car was featured in The LeMay - America's Car Museum and had appeared at the Pacific Northwest Concours d’ Elegance. This first Sunbeam Tiger body boasts its original engine, heads, and chassis. Although it is fitted with a LAT-option intake and carburetor, the originals accompany the sale. Finished in correct PPG Moonstone with scarlet and black-piped interior, fitted by a Tiger upholstery expert Martha Christiansen, the lithe British body and well-appointed cabin are as swoon-worthy as the day it was new. Not only the very first British body pressed, but a special chapter in the Shelby canon, this car is the ultimate beginning to the speedy Sunbeam Tiger and represents an opportunity to secure a truly important and best in class automobile. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is titled as a 1965 and designated as Body #0001.

1961 Chrysler 300G Coupe • Fine quality restoration to original specs • Factory air-conditioning works properly • Leather interior and full power complement

• Owned for decades by a known club supporter • Only 1,617 produced

six and a full complement of luxury car amenities, and it’s easy to see why today, these performance luxury cars have the attention of historians and collectors alike. Although the post-'57 letter cars were no longer eligible for circle track racing, the 300G was still a muscle car to be reckoned with in street trim, thanks to performance equipment that was still in demand, pushing 400 horsepower with the Cross-Ram intake and dual four-barrel carbs. Cosmetically,

hrysler was riding a string of performance successes in the late ‘50s with a group of cars today known as the Letter Series - from NASCAR to speed records at Daytona in ’57, their V-8 engines were leading the pack. Many historians feel that their success was the precursor to the muscle car era, and by 1961, the 300G could turn in an 8.2 second 0-60 mph run all day, while most full-sized cars from their competitors were well over 10 seconds. Mix in room for

the grille, formerly wider at the bottom than the top, was inverted and the quad headlights, formerly side-by-side, were canted inward at the bottom, in a manner reminiscent of 1958-1960 Lincolns. Small parking lamps below the headlights were likewise slanted and V-shaped, and the front bumper was canted up at each end, scoop-like. At the rear, the taillights were moved from the fins to the tail below them, and the fins - which would be gone in 1962 were made sharper-pointed. Power windows were standard and a full-length console ran from the the dashboard to the standard rear bucket seats. Presented in its original Alaskan White, this Chrysler 300 has been carefully restored to preserve its originality. The sheet metal appears original with the exception of the rear quarters, which were replaced at the time of restoration. The door gaps remain excellent, the rockers are like new, and the floors are completely original. All the glass is original to the car except for a replacement windshield. Overall, the paint and body are in very good condition, and this 300G was obviously cared for by an enthusiast. Like all the 1961 300Gs, this fine example is powered by the renowned 413-cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine and backed by a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The car starts readily, idles smoothly,

and will easily conform to modern highway speeds. The brakes and fuel systems have been completely gone through, all the fluids have been changed, and the car has been extensively road-tested, with all mechanical functions in top working order. This 300G has been preserved phenomenally well and is completely ready to tour, enjoy, and be shown at local and regional shows. This stunning coupe is also well-known, as its curator for the last several decades was a proud collector of letter-series cars and hence, very active in all club activities. The original Air Temp air-conditioning performs well and the sticker still resides on the passenger side of the back window. The leather interior is beautiful and in excellent overall condition. It has a reproduction dash pad, but otherwise the interior appears to be all original. With luxury appointments, and a top speed of 145 mph, and the last of the “tailfin” era cosmetics, the 1961 300G may just be the pinnacle of luxury car performance in the early ‘60s, and today, you have an opportunity to buy an exceptional vehicle. Along with other Chrysler letter cars, 1961's 300G is today an alternative Mopar performance car that is respected for its stunning combination of power and styling, bolstered by low production numbers for those who like to add rarity to their stable.

1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible • Factory 348-cubic-inch big-block engine with automatic transmission • Finished in stunning factory Roman Red • Well-optioned with power steering, power brakes, factory dual antennas and fender skirts

hile they each have their own character, the 1959 and 1960 Chevrolet Impalas have a lot in common and the two years feature the boldest fins to ever grace a Bow Tie. Wider than they are tall, they’re actually restrained relative to many of the flamboyant fins offered by other brands during the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, but they still managed to make a statement. 1959 models feature gracefully curved fins and prominent, cat-eye taillights, while the

1960 model tipped Chevy’s hand about what was to come with more angular, trim fins and simple, round taillights that would become a Chevrolet trademark through 1965. For performance, second-gen Impala buyers had the option of an inline-six, 283-cubic-inch small-block V-8 engine, or a 348-cubicinch big-block in a variety of outputs. Chevrolet would wring more performance out of the third-gen cars, further strengthening the

348. Still, ’59 and ’60 Impalas resonate with collectors for kicking off the Impala’s performance pedigree and for their introduction of the long, low look for which the model came to be known. This handsome, top-of-the-line Impala is finished in the desirable factory color of Roman Red. The arrow straight body on this Impala showcases the quality of the complete restoration this car has received. GM cars of this period were adorned with a large amount of trim and brightwork, requiring many hours of labor and generous amounts of resources to be restored correctly; all look fantastic on this Impala. A crisp and clean white power-operated convertible top complements the white painted accents on the quarter panels and the Roman Red body. A set of rear-mounted dual antennas lean back rakishly to make the car look sleeker. Rear fender skirts have been installed to give this Impala an even longer look. One trim item that is sure to catch the eye of Chevrolet enthusiasts is the crossflags emblem on the trunk lid above the V-shape emblem that signifies to the world that there is a 348-cubic-inch V-8 big-block under the hood. The engine bay is clean and detailed, and the 348 fourbarrel runs smoothly and sounds healthy through the dual exhaust system. Power is transferred

to the rear wheels through Chevrolet’s famous Powerglide automatic transmission. Additionally, factory installed power steering and power brakes help make this 1960 Impala enjoyable to drive. The interior is just as impressive as the exterior on this 1960 Impala. The brilliant red and white color of the interior is highlighted by the houndstooth pattern seat inserts that is repeated on the space-age design of the door panels. The dash design in 1959 and 1960 Chevrolets is one of the most memorable the company has ever created, with a large round speedometer flanked left and right with four smaller hooded gauge pods that capture the mid-century, jet-inspired aesthetics that were popular at the time. Impala models came with special dimpled brightwork on the dash that adds even more glamour to this fabulous design. An AM/ FM radio cassette player specially designed to fit in the original radio opening is onboard to tune in some music for cruising. Setting off the great look of this convertible is a set of wide whitewall radial tires. Showing just over 85,000 miles on its odometer, this iconic Impala would make an excellent addition to any garage and is the perfect car for enjoyable top-down cruising with style.

1973 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia Campmobile • Very desirable camper wagon • Great period vintage colors; fresh orange plaid interior • Smooth running 1.7-litre air-cooled engine

• Four-speed manual gearbox • Kitchenette with folding tables and sink • Pop-up top for added sleeping room

Best of all, it was a relatively compact size that would easily fit in most any family’s garage. Mounted in the rear of the vehicle was the same horizontally opposed four-cylinder, air-cooled engine used in the Type 1 Beetles. While VW didn’t invent the cab-forward control idea, with the driver over the front wheels, it promoted the system and would eventually become the standard for the industry. For the 1968 model year, a total redesign of the Type 2

hen Volkswagen released its first Type 2 Microbus in the spring of 1950, it was aimed primarily for the commercial market. The T2 would be pushed into many different careers from light delivery vehicles to being a first responder in ambulance and firerescue livery. It would be offered in numerous body configurations straight from the factory and in “Microbus” form could be fitted with plenty of seats to offer economical personal transportation.

took place that saw the “box” stretched about nine inches, the two side doors were replaced with a single sliding door, larger windows all around, and up front a one-piece curved windshield increased visibility and made for safer operation. These design changes helped earn it the nicknames of “Breadloaf” or “Bay Window” models by enthusiasts. The first Westfalia camper conversion had taken place back in 1951 at the request of a British Army officer stationed in Germany. He simply requested that this established conversion company turn his Microbus into a home and workspace on wheels. Westfalia met the challenge and as more orders for such conversions came to the company, a working agreement with VW was soon in place. Several different configurations and a long list of options were put into production. With the advent of the new “Breadbox” T2s, Westfalia expanded their options list and orders poured in from the USA as well as all over Europe. For 1973, Volkswagen gave the T2s a noticeable facelift by moving the parking lights/turn signals from below the headlight to a much higher and more visible location above them. This awesome Campmobile screams “1970s” with its Brilliant Orange exterior paint and appears to have been restored to its original factory configuration. Power comes

from the 1,679-cc four-cylinder engine tucked neatly away under the rear floor and the trusty four-speed transaxle ensures that there will be plenty of power for this Campmobile. Among its many features are the famous pop-up roof, with new tent sides, and interior fabrics that are perfect for the era with both the driver and front passenger seats covered in a bright orange plaid fabric. This design choice is replicated in the rear camping compartment for the bench seat as well as the mattress pad covers in the upstairs sleeping quarters. It is fitted with a folding table, small sink, propane powered refrigerator and plenty of storage cabinets with simulated woodgrain paneling. Exhibited for many years in a museum, it was acquired by a “Westy” enthusiast who performed a sympathetic restoration on the body and camping components. Turning to SMS Fabrics in Portland, Oregon, the original style plaid fabrics were acquired to bring this lovely mini camper back to its factory appearance. Surprisingly, the dashboard of this T2 has never been punched or altered for the mounting of a radio or other entertainment systems. The love for these vans has grown over the years with several groups that enjoy pursuing a time when life a little less hectic, the music a bit more mellow, and leisure suits were the uniform of the day.

1968 Plymouth 'Hemi' Road Runner • 1 of only 108 four-speed Hemi Road Runners for 1968 • Freshly rebuilt 426 Hemi engine by Tim Banning of FHO

• Matching-numbers example and documented by Galen Govier • Dana 60 rear end; Triple-black color scheme

valve springs, and crankcase windage tray from the big, bad 440 Magnum. With its four-barrel carb and unsilenced air cleaner, the new mill made 335 horsepower. Serious-minded standard features included a strengthened four-speed manual transmission, 3.23 gears, beefed up suspension with high-rate rear leaf springs, 11-inch heavy-duty drum brakes, and Polyglas F70x14s. The TorqueFlite transmission was optional. The interior was bench-seat austere, and the base price was a stingy $2,896. Plymouth paid Warner Bros.

y 1968, muscle cars had evolved from mainstream models with expensive special engines to expensive special models with expensive special engines. What the youth of America needed was an inexpensive mainstream model with an inexpensive special engine. The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner was just such a muscle car. It started with a pillared coupe, the lightest and least-costly iteration of the handsome new Belvedere body. The engine was Mopar's proven 383-cid V-8, but with heads, manifolds, camshaft,

$50,000 for the rights to decorate the new model with the name and likeness of a cartoon bird. It was just the right touch. The Road Runner became a smash hit. Plymouth forecasted sales of 2,500; buyers snapped up nearly 45,000. MotorTrend called it "the most brazenly pure, non-compromising super car in history...its simplicity is a welcome virtue." Given the 383's strong feel and the car's reasonable weight, 15-second ETs were a bit disappointing. The $88 High-Performance Axle Package with its 3.55:1 Sure-Grip got more out of the 383. But low-13s quarter mile ETs were just $714 away via the lone engine option, the potent 425-horsepower 426 Hemi. Just 1,019 Road Runners received the Hemi, which came with a 3.54 Sure-Grip Dana 60 axle as a $139 mandatory option. Power front disc brakes and power steering were smart extras. At midyear, a hardtop coupe was added, as was an optional under-dash knob to open the otherwise decorative hood vents. Critics debated the wisdom of paying $17 for the cop-attracting matte black hood treatment, and opinion divided on whether the "beep-beep" horn sounded like the cartoon bird or a delivery van. It actually was the sound of success. This Plymouth Road Runner is one of the few factory Hemi equipped cars that were produced

for 1968, and 1 of just 108 hardtops fitted with a rare four-speed manual transmission. Power to the ground is transferred by a Dana 60 Sure-Grip rear end with a 3.54 ratio. This very collectible firstyear Road Runner still retains its original, matching numbers Hemi engine, which was recently rebuilt by one of the premier Hemi specialists, Tim Banning of FHO - For Hemis Only. This asphalt-shredding muscle car not only has the goods under the hood but looks the part as well. Finished menacingly in deep black paint with a black vinyl top and matching black bench seat interior; it looks sinister. The body is laser-straight which is hard to achieve on an all-black car. Adding to the tough look of this Hemi machine is a set of no-nonsense black painted steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps wrapped with Coker Redline radial tires. The car retains its fender tag, Hemi owner’s manual and has been documented by Galen Govier. This is a documented, numbers-matching Hemi muscle car that has a stance and presence that is unmatched and is an absolute thrill to drive. Quite simply, opportunities to buy a stunning first-year example such as this are becomimg more and more rare indeed.

1969 Porsche 911E • Numbers-matching 2.0-litre 140-HP flat six engine • Bosch mechanical fuel injection system • Guards Red with classic Fuchs wheels

• Mechanically dialed in and ready for five-speed shifting enjoyment

debut in Frankfurt. Once production finally began in September 1964, the 911 immediately went on to achieve incredible success on the road, track, and showroom floor, a trend that has continued uninterrupted to this day. The 911 was certainly worth the wait. As the sub-heading of the first full road-test report published by Car and Driver stated in the magazine’s April 1965 issue, “A new generation of Porsches proves they still have the master's touch...

esting of the new Porsche model began in November 1962 at Porsche’s newly constructed track at Weissach, Germany and as word of the new car’s existence became known by the Porsche faithful, anticipation for it ran high. The subject of intense curiosity, the new Porsche model generated great enthusiasm, spurred on by a succession of articles in the motoring press of the era. By September 1963, the new “901”, soon renamed “911”, made its world

and then some.” The article’s opening sentence was even more telling. “No contest. This is the Porsche to end all Porsches—or, rather, to start a whole new generation of Porsches. Porsche's new 911 model is unquestionably the finest Porsche ever built. More than that, it's one of the best Gran Turismo cars in the world, certainly among the top three or four.” From launch, the 911 has reigned as an unparalled favorite of committed driving enthusiasts around the world, with the early-series, short-wheelbase examples from 1965 through 1968 providing exceptional performance and unmatched levels of driver-and-machine engagement. In 1968, the 911 model line was revised, due in large part to Porsche’s inability to get the 911 to comply with the stringent emissions regulations in effect in the key U.S. market. Just one year later, Porsche would redesign part of their lineup again, and drop the 911L to introduce the 911E. The Porsche 911E model was produced from 1969 to 1973 and was introduced to replace the short-lived 911L. Designed to be a more comfortable version of the 911, placed between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super). This example is 1 of just 1,968 911E variants produced in 1969. The E designation

derives from the German word for injection, einspritzung, meaning this example is equipped with the Bosch mechanical fuel injection “MFI” system. Combined with the numbers-matching 2.0-litre flat six-cylinder engine, this 911E is able to produce 140 horsepower, 10 more than the 911L model it replaced. Mechanically dialed in, the engine and five-speed transaxle work in harmony to give the driver a true Porsche driving experience. The consignor reports that the synchros, bushings, and clutch are in top order and the car runs through all five manual gears with ease. Finished in Guards Red, paint code 6808, over a black leatherette interior, the appearance is very well-received by enthusiasts and casual observers. Well-presented, the cabin is equipped with an upgraded Sony AM/FM/CD stereo system. Other notable items include classic Fuchs wheels that are wrapped in newer radial tires. A former resident of a Porsche-focused collection, this fuel-injected Porsche 911E, in its eye-catching color scheme, is ready to continue giving great joy when motoring in town, on the highway, or out and about the beautiful countryside.

1966 Ford Mustang Convertible • Properly refreshed with the correct Springtime Yellow paint • 289-cubic-inch V-8 engine upgraded with a Holley four-barrel carburetor • Clean and correct Pony interior with factory air-conditioning

ord hit the ground running in 1964 1/2 with the introduction of the sporty new Mustang. Identical to the 1965 model, Ford could hardly keep up with production, running 24 hours a day in three plants, so when planning for the 1966 model began, changes were kept simple - why mess with success? Many of the 1966 body panels are identical to the 1965 panels, with minor changes to the headlamp buckets and the hood. The

front grille now featured horizontal chrome bars with the running horse emblem front and center. On the side of the car, the faux air scoops were updated, the gas cap changed, and all Mustangs received padded sun visors. It’s no wonder that even Mustang enthusiasts are challenged to spot the subtle differences between ’65 and ’66 production. Popular options included several versions of the 289 V-8, and a Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission -

just like the car offered here. The Pony interior included embossed seat backs, a five-cluster instrument panel, and walnut-style steering wheel and center console. A basic convertible Mustang began at $2,557, and Ford continued to sell as many as they could produce for the next several years. Looking sharp in the factory-correct Springtime Yellow paint, this lovely convertible has been sympathetically restored to correct factory specifications. The panel fit is excellent, the paint looks great, and even the white soft top is clean and tight. Examine this one closely, as it is just as solid underneath - not cleaned and detailed, but more like honest, proper condition - showing the care it has always received. All the chrome and trim fits properly and looks great, and the overall visual impression is nothing short of top shelf. Factory wheels with newer radial tires and factory caps finish off the highly authentic look, and the stance of the car is level and correct, just like it did in 1966. Pop the hood, and a very clean and correct 289 V-8 shows just like a new vehicle with one exception. The stock two-barrel carb has been upgraded to a Holley four-barrel, bumping the horsepower to

about 225. It fires right up, idles smoothly, and will cruise all day at modern highway speeds. The car’s Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission shifts on the faux woodgrain console, and this pony is nicely equipped with power steering, power brakes, factory air-conditioning, and a power-assisted soft top. The bucket seats are clean, the carpets look great, and all the gauges in the classic dashboard also look sharp and work well. There is very little to do here but turn the key and enjoy some fine open-top motoring. Few cars are as easily recognized as a firstgeneration Mustang, probably because they were such an impactful new model, with Ford selling over a million Mustangs in just two short years. Was it the styling, or the performance, or simply the young sporty image? The answer to all those questions is, “yes,” and along with an affordable price tag, the new Mustang was one of the most impactful new models ever, and today, a fine first-generation Mustang like this one will continue to turn heads and allow the new owner access to all the fun of classic Mustang ownership.

1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500XL R-Code 427 Fastback • Low production; The epitome of Ford’s Total Performance Program • Correct and original engine and components • Factory Rangoon Red with matching interior • Impressive stance, performance and looks; Proper 15” wheels

n the early 1960s, before the birth of “muscle cars” there were “performance cars” and Ford was setting out to be the dominant player in this field. At the center of Ford’s entry in this horsepower race was their F-E based engine. In 1960, a 360-horsepower version of the 352-cubic-inch V-8 engine saw limited release followed by a factory 375-horsepower version of the engine with an enlarged

390-cubic-inch displacement. In 1962, more tweaking and an additional 16 cubic inches took the ratings up to 405 horsepower right out of the box. For 1963, the 406 rang in the start of the model year but, by New Year’s Day 1963, there was a new bigger and more potent engine to contend with as the F-E block was bored and stroked to the maximum allowable NASCAR displacement

of 427 cubes and the top attention getter was the dual-quad, 426-horsepower version. Fitted with dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, and a laundry list of factory engineered speed equipment Ford’s 427 soon became the engine others were trying to catch up with. Also released at the mid-year mark for 1963 was a new body style for the full-size Fords with a convertible inspired fastback design that would prove to be very popular with the Galaxie 500XL taking the top spot. In motorsports of the day, the 427 was tough to beat especially on the NASCAR circuit with drivers like Tiny Lund and Junior Johnson, but in 1963, it was Fred Lorenzen behind the wheel of his powerful 427 Ford who was the top money winner that season winning the Atlanta 500, World 600 and numerous other races. While race prepped cars were special machines, Ford’s highperformance program for streetcars supplied plenty of heavy-duty speed equipment. The mighty 427 was a hand-built engineering marvel that started with a special block that featured cross-bolt main bearings for the dual-quad units. Other goodies were added like an aluminum intake manifold that carried a pair of specially selected Holley carburetors, a dual-point distributor, cast exhaust headers, plus a few pieces of eye-candy to show that this engine meant business. To identify these 425-HP 427-cid V-8 cars, the fifth character in the serial number was the letter R and, for many, meant “Racing”. Ford’s performance package included heavy-duty hydraulic brakes, special 15-inch wheels, rerouting of brake lines and heavy-duty springs for a stiff and responsive suspension. Several horsepower robbing accessories were not available on the 427

equipped V-8s including power steering, power brakes, air-conditioning, and only the four-speed manual transmission could be ordered. This 1963 Galaxie 500XL R-Code fastback has it all. A careful inspection of the engine shows that all the casting dates are in order with the production date of this car, which was on or about February 26, 1963. Assembled at the Twin Cities plant in Minnesota, according to the original data plate, it was delivered in Rangoon Red with red vinyl bucket seats and interior. If you are ready to set the pavement below your feet a rumbling, this is the car for you. While over 33,000 fastback hardtops were produced in the Galaxie 500XL trim for 1963, few were fitted with the R-Code 427 V-8. Thorough inspection by the consignor has confirmed the casting dates are correct for this vehicle. Mounted to the intake manifold are what appear to be proper Holley carburetors with the proper Ford part numbers (C3AF-9510-BK to the front and C3AF9510-BJ to the rear), and all other parts, including the rocksolid Borg-Warner T10 four-speed transmission also appear to be original to the car. This fastback has been given a top-shelf level of restoration and features an original AM/FM push-button radio, plus those very hard-to-find original 15-inch steel wheels with the special performance car-only wheel covers, complete with the decorative spinners. When this car was sitting on the showroom floor, Ford was a champion taking many checkered flags at tracks around the United States; today this icon of early 1960s 427 powered performer can still bring home awards for the new lucky owner. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is titled as a 1963.

1969 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 • 1 of only 809 examples produced • U.S.-specification model, delivered with factory air-conditioning • Presented in its original and highly desirable color of Azzurro • Documented by marque historian Marcel Massini

.S.-spec model Ferrari 365 GT 2+2s are both exceptionally rare and highly desirable. With a long list of standard luxury features and amazing performance, it’s no wonder Road and Track magazine christened it, “The Queen Mother of Ferraris.” Introduced at the Paris Auto Salon in 1967, the 365 GT 2+2 was simply the most luxurious Ferrari produced at the time. It raised the bar for performance

luxury in the ‘60s, and was a very positive step for Ferrari’s sales and market presence in the U.S. The list of standard equipment on this impressive 2+2 includes power rack and pinion steering, power disc brakes, and a remarkable self-leveling suspension system, which was a first for Ferrari. While nearly every Ferrari of the earlier eras were equipped with rear-mounted transaxles,

the 365 2+2 gearbox was mounted more typically directly behind the engine, sending power to a traditional rear differential system. Under the sleek hood is a legendary powerplant - Ferrari’s powerful 4.4-litre V-12 topped with three twin-choke Weber carburetors. It looks fantastic, sounds amazing, and the 320 horsepower is easily enough to propel this luxury GT to speeds in excess of 145 mph. Look closely under the hood, as the V-12 is incredibly original and highly detailed. All that power is reeled in by independent power disc brakes. According to research by noted marque historian Marcel Massini, chassis 12633 was completed in July 1969 as a U.S.specification vehicle. It retains its striking Azzurro paint finish with a Russo leather interior, and was delivered to Ferrari’s official West Coast distributor, Bill Harrah's Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada. It has obviously been well-cared for throughout its life, with straight body panels and all the original chrome and trim.

Treated to a sympathetic restoration and comprehensive mechanical overhaul in the early 2000s, this beautiful Ferrari has been enthusiastdriven and museum kept and maintained ever since. Paint and brightwork are still in fine condition and the body panels still fit tightly and properly, reflecting the high quality and attention to detail paid to this 365 GT 2+2 when restored. A polished set of correct, original Borrani wire wheels, dated May 1968, are mounted with Pirelli CN72 tires, complementing the elegant Pininfarina coachwork beautifully. Inside, the sumptuous leather interior is in great condition, and the car features the correct Becker Europa II radio and factory air-conditioning. If a Ferrari that will cruise at 150 mph while carrying the whole family in air-conditioned comfort sounds like fun, this car might just be the ideal addition to your collection. Well-documented and highly original, as 1 of just 809 produced, it represents a wonderful opportunity to own a 12-cylinder Ferrari in an outstanding color combination.

1965 Chevrolet Corvette 327/300 Roadster • Five-time NCRS Top Flight award winner • Numbers-matching 327-cubic-inch V-8 engine • First year for four-wheel independent disc brakes • Desirable Rally Red finish with matching red leather interior • Complete ownership history, including certificate of origin

hen most people think of sporty cars from the mid ‘60s, often the Mustang or the GTO come to mind – after all, they had lots of power and were marketed well. But when Zora Arkus-Duntov began putting a variety of V-8 engines into the Corvette Sting Ray, all bets were off as the Sting Ray became the

most sought-after American sports car of the era. By 1965, it was more refined, faster, and engineered better than anything else on American roads; driving a Corvette Sting Ray became a symbol of status and prestige. As the 1965 model year approached, the design team behind the Chevy Corvette continued to refine the overall

design of the C2 Sting Ray, focusing on significant mechanical upgrades that would vastly improve the Corvette’s already impressive handling and drivability. 1965 really marked the end of any new development of the second-generation Corvette as Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell began each championing the effort to develop the thirdgeneration Corvette. Duntov’s group was seeking to develop the mid-engine Corvette that was synonymous with cars like Porsche’s mid-engine Carrera GTS coupe; Mitchell finally won out with the new front-engine Mako Shark design, but it took nearly two years to make it to market. For the 1965 Corvette, changes were small and mostly cosmetic: a smoothed hood, a new black and chrome grille treatment, new wheel cover options, and new rocker panel moldings. The changes to the interior were likewise subtle, with all-black gauge faces and more supportive seat surfaces with more substantial upholstery and integrated armrests. Most important, however, four-wheel independent disc brakes became standard equipment, a feature that is still in Corvette production today. This lovely 1965 Corvette Roadster is beautifully restored to highly original condition, proven by a remarkable achievement. It has received the highest Corvette honor, the

National Corvette Restorers Society Top Flight award, five times. It is powered by its 327-cubicinch, 300-horsepower, numbers-matching engine, and the correct two-speed Powerglide transmission. Our staff reports that it starts easily, runs great, and sounds fantastic. This fine example has been refinished in the vibrant and desirable Rally Red lacquer finish, with matching red leather interior that presents like new. Both the finish and the panel fit are excellent, and the white soft top is like new, as is every piece of chrome and trim. Factory options include a matching hard top, power steering, power brakes, AM/FM radio, power antenna, wide whitewall tires with spinner caps - and even the optional rear luggage trunk rack, a handy feature on these cars.

• Recent mechanical servicing including new tires • Highly desirable as the last V-12 open Ferrari produced

models. The sleek and aero-dynamic appearance of course came from Pininfarina and made a statement upon its unveiling. Four years after the Maranello was introduced, Ferrari wanted to do something special to celebrate their long-term partnership with Carrozzeria Pininfarina and their 70th anniversary. So, at the Paris Motor Show, they unveiled the limited numbered 550 Barchetta, which was based on the 550 Maranello platform, just without

ntroduced to the eager press at the Nürburgring Circuit in July 1996, the Ferrari 550 Maranello made a big statement VIN: ZFFZR52B000123685 with an impressive naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V-12 motor that was cocooned by a long and stretched bonnet very much reminiscent of the beloved Daytona. Veering from their traditional mid-mounted engine, the newly designed Ferrari was crafted to lead the charge for Ferraris’ new series of front-engine flagship

a permanent convertible top. A true Barchetta, it paid homage to some of the Ferrari greats, like the 166 MM, the 250 GT California Spyder, and the 365 GTS4 Daytona, and became an instant collectible. With an uber limited production run of just 448 units across the globe, this example is car number 13, per the plaque affixed underneath the center console that is inscribed with Sergio Pininfarina’s signature. Delivered new in Monaco, it has resided in a very significant Ferrari collection housed in both Monaco and the United States. It would first be registered in the United States in 2003 in the dry state of Arizona. The current owner, an Arizona collector, acquired the car in 2021 through Speed Art of Miami who represented the car on behalf of the original owner. Still residing in Arizona today, sparingly driven and always maintained over the last 23 years, the odometer displays just 5,058 miles, as the clean CARFAX® will verify. Beautifully presented in the classic and highly sought-after Ferrari color of Rosso Corsa over a Nero leather interior with complementing carbon fiber components throughout, it emulates speed and precision whether in motion or sitting still. Under the Pininfarina-designed body, the newly introduced open-top Ferrari closely mimicked the mechanical characteristics of its Maranello

Coupe counterpart. It boasts the same 5.5-litre 485-horsepower V-12 engine, which was constructed utilizing lightweight alloys for the block, cylinder heads, and sump. The engine is backed by a thrilling gated six-speed manual gearbox and features such as Brembo ventilated disc brakes, a self-adjusting suspension, hydraulic tappets, and a professionally installed industry-leading Tubi exhaust rounds out the impressive mechanical features. Recently serviced at a Ferrari-certified dealer in Scottsdale, Arizona all the fluids and electrical systems were checked, and a new set of performance tires were fitted to ensure this Ferrari is ready for continued spirited driving and enjoyment. Accompanying this 550 is the authoritative Ferrari Classiche Certification, spare key and remote, correct matching serial number owner manuals and books, and of course a clean CARFAX® report. An instant hit upon its arrival because of its unique roadster styling and extremely limited production, this thrilling example and one-year-only model represents the very last 12-cylinder open Ferrari ever built. The 550 Barchetta has firmly established itself as a significant and highly collectible Ferrari and will take its place alongside many of the most important sports cars ever built.

1932 Ford Highboy Roadster • Less than 400 miles since total custom build • Custom burgundy exterior with custom saddle tan leather interior • Equipped with a GM 350 V-8 crate motor and Brawler carburetor, mated to an automatic transmission • Colorado Custom wheels, both front and rear • An American Graffiti era icon

ost-WWII California dry lakes pioneers established the definitive hot rod look. With its immortal styling, robust chassis, easily modified Ford flathead V-8, and ready affordability, the timeless '32 Ford roadster, a one-year-only model, and short-lived in production at that, became the platform for all manner of

'go-fast' modifications. By the late 1940s, the classic '32 Highboy, as evidenced by the famed roadsters of John Ryan, Bob McGee, Hank Negley, Walker Morrison, Ray Brown, Ed Stewart, and others, had become a model for the ages. Devoid of fenders, the spare wheel, running boards, bumpers, cowl lights and door handles,

the result resembled the stripped-for-action racing roadsters that ran at Elgin, Illinois, and Mines Field in California - now LAX. Many '32 Highboys were built, but not to a pattern. Some cars had 'the look'. Some did not. Hot Rod Magazine and 'the little books’, like Rod & Custom, Car Craft, and Hop Up covered the better-built rods. Highboy roadsters were dualpurpose cars. Owners used them to cruise and drive to work. Stripped of non-essentials, they became weekend dry lakes racers. The highboy has an iconic style that defines what most people think a ’32 Ford hot rod should look like. This spectacular Highboy was built from scratch by Show Me Rod & Custom, who have been building some of the finest quality reproduction bodies since 1989. The completely hand-laid body includes two-inch stretched doors, Cab Custom aluminum deck lid hinges, Lokar deck lid release cable, hidden door hinges, Bear Claw door latches, a steel sub-structure, two-inch recessed firewall and self-popping deck lid latch. The Highboy also features a three-piece Rootlieb with hinge and latch components from Tri-Mark and Rocky. Additionally, there is a Speedway Motors grille shell and insert. A laid-back windshield and lift-off top help give this hot rod just the right look. The body is finished exquisitely in a deep, mirror-gloss PPG Phoenix Red and highlighted with amazing multi-color flames. The custom-trimmed, high-quality saddle tan

leather interior was designed by Jack’s Upholstery. The dash houses a full set of premium Dolphin gauges and there is a polished steering column fitted with a beautiful, polished Bous Performance custom steering wheel. A Lokar shifter, brake and throttle pedals are installed as well. The beauty of this ’32 Highboy is more than just skin deep. The chassis is an HHR-32 from HotShoe Hot Rods. Power is supplied by a healthy GM 350-cubic-inch crate motor mated to a GM transmission from Family Transmission. A PowerTrain Industries drive shaft connects to the John’s Industries 9-inch Ford rear end with triangulated four-bar coil over shocks components by Pete & Jakes. Up front, there is a Pete & Jake’s 4-inch drop front axle and suspension components. Cooling is provided by a Speedway Motors radiator and electric fan. A-1 Custom Muffler built the rumbling exhaust system. The finishing touches are 18-inch front and 22-inch rear Colorado Custom wheels that give this Highboy an aggressive stance. Countless hours of labor and funds were spent to create this fabulous Highboy. The fit and finish, the quality of the paint and trim, as well as the premium quality parts selected for the build all add up to a truly great hot rod. With less than 400 miles since its completion, this highly detailed, meticulously and thoughtfully created ’32 Ford Highboy is ready to enjoy.

1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Record Three-Position Cabriolet • Exhibited at the 1949 Paris Salon • Original 4,482cc inline six-cylinder engine with dual carburetion • Well-documented history • High-level European restoration

n the late 1930s, Talbot was regaining its status as one of the most sophisticated automotive brands under the direction of its new leader, Anthony Lago. Having lent his name to the brand, new innovations such as reinforcing the proven X-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a new dual overhead cam six-cylinder engine design by Talbot’s in-house Chief Engineer,

Walter Becchia. It featured heads with hemispherical combustion chambers and overhead valves. After World War II, the displacement of this DOHC six grew to 4,482cc and was now rated up to 190 horsepower, and placed in the new and improved chassis. These new T26 Records now featured such improvements including hydraulic brakes, a Wilson pre-selector gearbox and improved

handling. Talbot-Lago offered several handsome body styles in their catalog and, for those clients who were looking for something truly unique, a rolling chassis was available for custom coach-built bodies. Carrossier Antem, a long-respected name, acquired a 1949 chassis and went about creating a one-off stunning three-position cabriolet. This car made its debut at the October 1949 International Auto Show in Paris at the Grand Palais and was well-accepted by those attending. It captured the grandeur of the Classic Era with long flowing front fenders, each with a trio of venti-ports, a spacious passenger cabin and a continuation of the smoothed sheet metal that encircled the rear of the car. Ownership of this exquisite post-war treasure had been lost until 2008 when it was acquired by a prominent and well-known collector in France. This magnificent automobile was complete and had retained all of its classic touches; however, the Talbot had not aged well. Shortly after it joined the collection, the body was stripped to bare metal and maladies were taken care of with cost being of

no concern. It was then professionally repainted in its brilliant Ivory White. Fine and supple leather in medium brown was used for the seating surfaces and door panels, each with built-in storage compartments. At the same time, the original DOHC six-cylinder engine was given a complete overhauling while the gearbox, with Wilson pre-selector, was serviced as needed. Suspension components were refurbished or replaced as needed and the electrical system completely gone through. Used sparingly after its restoration, it was retained in the collection until the end of 2022, and shortly afterward, was exported to the United States. Today, it presents quite as well as it did in Europe. The mechanics are described to be in well running order. Having been in the States for just a short period of time, this car has only been shown at a select few Concours, including one where it garnered a first in class. One can only imagine the list of invitations the new owner will receive and the requests to share this attractive and important automobile at the finest events, tours and rallies.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air ‘Fuel-Injected’ Convertible • Fuel-injected 283/250 horsepower V-8 engine • Matador Red over a two-tone red and silver interior • One of the most iconic American cars ever produced

hroughout its long history, GM’s Chevrolet Division produced some of the most popular automobiles ever conceived. Of all, Chevy’s wildly successful 1955-1957 models rank at the top of the list. In particular, the top-level 1957 Bel Air models stand out to many enthusiasts as the ultimate expression of the concept. Chevrolet Chief Engineer, Ed Cole, mandated a series of changes for the 1957 model year that resulted in one of the most iconic American car

designs of all time. It didn’t take long before consumers recognized the superiority of the 1957 Chevy, and it was soon described as, “the most popular new and used car of all time.” Its iconic appearance in nostalgic movies, such as American Graffiti, along with the long-running magazine series in Popular Hot-Rodding dubbed, “Project-X” cemented the ’57’s cult car status. Of all the changes mandated by Cole, perhaps none was more mechanically significant

than the continued development of the small-block Chevrolet V-8 from the modest 265 cubic inches into the legendary high-winding Powerpack 283. Contemporary advertising dubbed them as “The Hot Ones.” Many remember opening the hood and proudly pointing to the four-barrel carburetor, and “camel hump” high-compression heads. With 250 ponies on tap, it has plenty of “go” to back up its good looks. Every aspect of this 1957 'Fuelie' Convertible showcases American ingenuity, design excellence, and vast speed. Restored in the early 2000s by a Chevrolet collector, this Fuelie presents very well and wears an attractive and classic Matador Red paint that is accentuated by a white convertible top; beautiful chrome and gold anodized trim are placed throughout the body. Rear fender skirts, a continental kit, and 14-inch steel wheels with painted spinner covers, wrapped in classic whitewall tires, elevate its classic ‘50s appearance. Under the white drop-top lies a two-tone red and silver interior, which was also replaced during the restoration.

Creature comforts include a cabin heater, cassette radio, clock, and most importantly, power steering. Packing a serious American punch, this Bel Air comes with a fuel-injected 283-cubic-inch 250 horsepower engine. Its simplistic engine compartment is nicely presented in both construction and condition. The column-mounted three-speed manual transmission easily allows for the driver to shift it into drive and lay down rearwheel rubber when all 250 horsepower is needed. Frankly, no American car collection is complete without a ’57 Chevy 'Fuelie' convertible. This example epitomizes the Fifties-era of motoring and will serve as an icon for many generations to come. As the vintage automobile market continues to prove itself a worthy investment, the 1957 Bel Airs will always be a favorite. Powered by a fuelinjected Chevrolet 283 V-8 engine backed by the smooth-shifting three-speed manual transmission, this sweet Fifties cruiser is a pleasure to drive and it turns heads everywhere it goes.

2004 Lamborghini Murciélago 'Six Speed' • 1 of only 31 examples produced for the U.S. in 2004 with the highly desirable, gated six-speed manual gearbox • Factory sport exhaust and factory bi-color black and yellow deviate interior

he flagship V-12 Murciélago ushered in a new age for Lamborghini yet delivered the captivating charisma that enthusiasts of the Italian marque have forever yearned for. It pushed the envelope in terms of technology and intuitive intelligence, was the last model for the beloved Bizzarrini 12-cylinder engine, and it captured the low slung, wide-body swagger of Lambo with a more modern curve to the previously severe wedge. Two decades have passed

• Recently dry ice detailed, PPI inspected, fully serviced, and presenting in pristine condition • Increasingly collectible; the epitome of the modern classic and this divine supercar has already begun its ascent in value, an ascent that will undoubtedly pierce the stratosphere in our lifetime. Of the 400 examples produced in 2004, only a hundred were destined for our shores and a mere 31 of those cars were equipped with the highly sought-after gated six-speed manual gearbox that true Lamborghini aficionados continue to lust after. The Murciélago was brilliantly developed as the V-12 leading successor to the

Diablo. At the end of the Countach and throughout the tenure of the Diablo, Lamborghini had gone through a handful of owners and the famed Italian marque lacked a cohesive vision at the helm. A watershed moment, the "Mercy" was the first V-12 to be released under the ownership of Audi. While there were some initial detractors among enthusiasts, all fears were cast aside upon its debut. The Murciélago captured all the Italian panaché and Lamborghini swagger in its incendiary styling while its 6.2-litre, Bizzarrini powertrain was augmented by well-integrated technical brilliance that smacks of innovative German engineering. The Luc Donckerwolks-designed carbon fiber body, enfolded around a tubular space frame, captured a classic and imposing Lamborghini silhouette, complete with trademark scissored doors, evocative deep intake scoops below the door panel, and just the right softening of edges for a modern supercar of the new millennium. The cabin exudes pure Italian luxury with yards of supple leather, Alcantera, enhanced ergonomics and myriad enhancements including modern climate control. The performance advancements were equally enticing. A rear spoiler as well as ‘bat wings’ automatically deployed to offer enhanced aerodynamics and air flow for engine cooling. The car was equipped with a front axle lift system that allowed the body to rise for curbside exit; this is also quite handy when you’re loading this beauty onto a trailer. The overall performance of the car is staggering, aside from quite intuitive handling, the almost overwhelming power of the 572 horsepower at 7,500 RPM and 479 footpounds of torque results in a 0 to 60 start of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 206 miles per hour for a siren song of sheer automotive cicada. Who wouldn’t want to manually shift all twelve of those cylinders. A virtually flawless, gated six-speed manual example with under 22,000 original miles, VIN ZHWBU16M34LA01266 was completed in June of 2004. Its matching-numbers 6.2-litre, V-12 engine, with firing sequence 1-7-4-10-2-6-12-3-9-5-11, for the order of cylinder firing, is mated to its gated six-speed for fire-breathing 12-cylinder action and sheer, knuckle-whitening

enjoyment. The beautiful carbon-fiber engine bay is topped with flawless and sleek, four-panel slats over the rear engine compartment above the centered, factory-option sport exhaust for the ultimate in rear-end styling. In 2008, with approximately 1,500 miles, a vehicle backed into the passenger door resulting in a dent. The owner demanded of the insurance company that the car be air-freighted to the Lamborghini factory in Italy for replacement. Texas State Farm Insurance determined the most cost effective resolution was to pay the owner a full claim, resulting in a total loss. CARFAX® notes this loss in January of 2009. Immediately thereafter, a proper factory door was sourced and installed, bringing this Murciélago back to original presentation. Following this, the car was driven, enjoyed and serviced in North Carolina where it was issued a clear and unbranded title in January of 2015. Most recently, the powertrain has undergone a full, $4,800 servicing and documented PPI inspection, with accompanying receipts and undercarriage photographs, at Norwood Auto Italia in Carrollton, Texas. The new Pirelli tires, wrapped around original forged Speedline Corse wheels, have recently been mounted, balanced and aligned. Dry ice detailing to the undercarriage, wheel wells, underbody panels, engine, and mechanical components as well as interior detail with Alcantara cleaning has been conducted by Sub Zero detail at a cost of over $4,000. In short, this Murciélago is as pristine as the day it left the Sant’Agata floor. The front boot is as-new and surprisingly spacious enough to accommodate a road trip up the coastal switchbacks of the Pacific Coast Highway with ease. Robed in original Giallo Evros, yellow paint code 0055, with desirable, factory-option bi-color black leather with yellow deviate stitching and accents, the look of this car simply screams, "Lamborghini, have Mercy!" One of the most alluring cars to ever don the charging bull, this gated, six-speed Lamborghini Murciélago is the epitome of the modern classic; it is spectacular in presentation and is ready to hit the night club, grace the show field and draw admiring eyes all the while appreciating in desirablilty and importance.

1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible • 389-cid V-8 engine, Rochester Tri-Power triple two-barrel carburetion • Pontiac Rally One wheels • Accompanied by PHS documents; True 242 code GTO • Equipped with factory air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes and power convertible top

n late 1963, the GTO was developed by John Z. DeLorean as a performance option for the Pontiac Tempest, and it was conceived to give Pontiac some additional performance in their lineup. The GTO combined aggressive styling and even more aggressive performance to lure muscle car buyers to Pontiac. Interestingly enough, the entire project circumvented GM’s prohibition of fitting

an engine over 330 cubic inches in their intermediate models, making the car somewhat of an in-house hot rod. Nevertheless, it proved to be successful and helped cement DeLorean’s reputation in the industry. The GTO option attracted 32,540 buyers in 1964, and according to legend, Pontiac received 5,000 orders before the GM brass even learned of the car’s existence.

By 1966, the GTO had been introduced as its own specific model within Pontiac’s lineup. Fittingly, it was restyled with a slightly more curvaceous design, and it would gain what would become known as “Coke bottle” styling cues for its rear fender lines. The standard 389-cubic-inch engine was tuned to belt out 335 horsepower, but the most desirable option was the “Tri-Power” setup, which had triple two-barrel carburetors that could bring horsepower to 360, making this high-powered version a fierce competitor on drag strips across America. Many Tri-Power setups were installed by dealers at the customer’s request if not already factory installed. 1966 was the last year multiple carburetion was offered on any GM car with the exception of the Corvette, bringing an end to an era at GM. The 1966 GTO has been at the top of the list of many collectors for this reason and for the 1966 GTO’s sleek body design that makes these look like they are going fast even when standing still. According to the car’s PHS (Pontiac Historical Services) documents that accompany the car, when this 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible was delivered new, it was equipped with a four-barrel 389 that was mated to an automatic transmission, 3:23 SafeT-Track rear axle, power steering, power brakes, rally clock, optional console with vacuum gauge and air-conditioning. It wore Montero Red paint with a black interior, which is the same color combination it sports today. The 1966 GTO is a fantastic car, but this Pontiac has been tastefully enhanced in just

the right areas to make owning and driving this muscle car classic even more enjoyable. At the top of the list is the addition of Pontiac’s legendary Tri-Power triple two-barrel carburetion system. There is nothing quite like the feel and sound of a Pontiac 389 when the three Rochester two-barrels are activated, creating a mechanical symphony of sound that defines why so many enthusiasts love the Pontiac GTO. Other welcomed upgrades are a TH350 automatic transmission as well as an aluminum radiator to keep things cool. The thoughtful pairing of the Tri-Power and the three-speed transmission significantly adds to this classic GTO’s performance and drivability. The correct Montero Red paint is deep and glossy, contrasting beautifully with the black bucket seat interior and power-operated convertible top. Adding to this Pontiac’s handsome good looks are a set of highly desirable Pontiac Rally One wheels wrapped with Redline radial tires that capture the classic muscle car look, but with the ride, safety and handling characteristics that modern radial tires provide. The GTO Convertible proved to be a massive success for Pontiac, with a total of 96,946 examples sold, and the 1966 model remains one of the most beloved by enthusiasts. This example checks all the right boxes. With a great color scheme, a desirable list of factory options, an upgraded automatic transmission, a Tri-Power 389 with PHS documents, this clean, well-kept and stylish early Pontiac muscle car is ready to be enjoyed.

1940 Packard Darrin 1807 Convertible Sedan • 1 of only 11 built • Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance award winner • Classic Car Club of America 100-point recipient multiple times • CCCA Annual Meeting Best of Show winner

• Complete, and fascinating history; delivered new to Earle C. Anthony Packard in Los Angeles and immediately used as a show car • Restored to as-new specifications, and as listed in its factory documentation

According to Packard historians Richard Langworth, Robert Turnquist, Charles Blackman, Don Figone, and Ralph Marano, Howard Dutch Darrin would bestow his personal touch on less than 150 Packards between 1937 and 1942. Of which a mere 11 would be the elegant four-door 1807 Convertible Sedan variant like this one, rare indeed.

n the world of automobiles and coachbuilding, perhaps no two names are as synonymous with each other as Packard and Darrin. A powerhouse automobile manufacturer with the likes of Dutch Darrin designing the illustrious silhouette of the car, every outcome is simply stunning and one that is placed in a category of its own.

With so few built, Packard-Darrins were typically only enjoyed by movie stars, powerful political figures, and idolized business tycoons. To put into perspective how illustrious these special Packard Darrins were, a 1940 Ford V-8 Convertible cost $850, a Lincoln Continental Convertible was $2,840, and a Cadillac Fleetwood V-16 Convertible Sedan was $6,000, while this 1940 Packard Darrin 1807 Convertible Sedan came with a staggering $7,000 price tag, allowing for only the rich and affluent to even consider ownership, and why only eleven 1807 Convertible Sedans were ever built. Pinned with fame and glamour the minute it was finished; the history of this award-winning 1940 Packard Darrin 1807 Convertible Sedan is one that can be traced back to new and one that holds an important place in the history books of Packard and Darrin. Upon completion in January of 1940 at the Central Manufacturing Plant (former Auburn Automobile plant) in Connersville, Indiana, this example, 1807-2010, was shipped to Earle C. Anthony Packard in Los Angeles and was immediately used as a show car. Its first documented photo appearance would be April 16, 1940, when it was the feature car at the annual Auto Club of Southern California spring show in downtown Los Angeles. Featured in an extensive binder documenting the life of this Packard, 1807-2010 can be seen in multiple photos under the Earle C. Anthony Inc. Packard display tent. This Packard Darrin would primarily stay on the West Coast as it can be seen in a photo on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, California at a Texaco gas station next to a Stanley Steamer with Society Gossip columnist Heda Hopper and opera singer and entertainer James Melton as driver and passenger. It

was later photographed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1952 and again in 1965, all of which is on file. Eventually, this spacious Darrin would be sold to automotive collectors Lee and Bob Belf in the 1970s. They would entrust Henry Seitz, a known Packard restorer in Detroit, to perform a ground-up restoration in the late ‘70s. The fruits of Seitz's labor would pay off greatly as this Darrin would receive a perfect 100 points at the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA #0927) Grand Classic in 1980. Following 27 years in the Belfs collection, wellknown and respected CCCA member Steve Chapman of Waxahachie, Texas acquired the car. Mr. Chapman's first Full Classic was a 1931 Cadillac Convertible Coupe which he acquired in 1968 and, of note, still owns today. This car was what launched his love affair with classic cars and he became a member of the CCCA that same year. He would go on to become the Chairman of the North Texas Region four times, a national board member and chief judge. He continues as a member today recently celebrating 55 years in the club. The custodian of multiple Packards, his early 2000s acquisition of Darrin 1807-2010 was made with the plan to make it the crown jewel of his collection by restoring it to award winning condition. His years of knowledge and understanding greatly assisted as he began the process of restoring the Darrin again, but this time to its factory-correct appearance. He enlisted Hatfield Restorations in Canton, Texas, and it was stripped back to bare metal, all the components were rebuilt and refinished down to the most minute detail, with strict attention to originality and authenticity following what was listed in its factory documentation. During this restoration, it was noted and photographed that the correct serial

number was stamped on the windshield, door sill plates, rear fender stone shields, and removable rear windows. Even some of the removable wooden parts still had the serial number inscribed on them in blue pencil. As listed in the factory documents, of which copies are on file, the body was painted in its original and lush color of Scheme X (black) and the interior was precisely fitted with Lackawanna London tan leather upholstery. The finished product would be something to behold, as it would capture another perfect 100 points at a major CCCA event, as well garner an award at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance, where it performed wonderfully on the Pebble Beach Tour d’ Elegance presented by Rolex. Following its Pebble Beach success, it would go on to win Best of Show at the CCCA Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas and was ultimately judged 100 points three times in a row. Along with all the restoration and vintage photos, there are multiple photos of this Packard excelling at the Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance. After its successful campaign of major automotive events, this Packard Darrin would be carefully and prominently displayed in Mr. Chapman's

climate-controlled collection and sparingly driven, always ensuring it was maintained to a high standard. Most recently, a select few Worldwide Auctioneers' team members have exercised this Convertible Sedan for video and photo opportunities, and report that it starts right up and propels its passengers smoothly down the road, ensuring it is ready to be enjoyed on grand touring events in the future. In the official 1940 Packard One-Eighty dealership catalog book, the Convertible Sedan by Darrin is described as, “The most daring lines ever to grace a Packard – and the most dashing beauty ever bestowed upon a motor car, this Darrin-designed Packard is for those who see no reason to keep their love of adventure a secret.” We certainly agree. This pure, award winning, 1 of just 11, 1940 Packard Darrin 1807 Convertible Sedan presents a spectacular opportunity to acquire a fascinating automobile that will instantly grant you access onto prestigious concours greens and fields around the globe. Having been in the hands of a fastidous and authentic enthusiast in Mr. Chapman, it is cars like this that make our hobby so enjoyable.

1970 Porsche 914/6 Targa • 1 of only 3,351 examples of the 914/6 produced • Restored by SCCA Porsche Racer and Porsche expert, Bob Hindson

• Attractively presented in Signal Orange, original L215 paint code

ever since. The 914 debuted at the 1969 Frankfurt Auto Show for the upcoming 1970 production year and was offered in two models. The Porsche-Volkswagen joint venture 914/4 utilized a 1,679cc four-cylinder engine from Volkswagen while the wholly Porsche-manufactured 914/6 equipped their top-of-the-line, mid-engine sports car with a 2.0-litre flat six-cylinder engine. The 914/6 boasted twin Weber carburetors, all-independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, five-speed transaxle and the ridiculously responsive 901 gearbox.

nlike any Porsche before or since, fewer than 3,400 examples of the Porsche 914/6 were produced in its three-year run, which has resulted in a highly sought-after and increasingly collectible sports car in today’s market. Lauded as Motor Trend’s “Import Car of the Year” for 1970, the lithe, lightweight body paired with its flat six engine makes driving it a truly visceral experience. This particular 914/6 was restored by Porsche SCCA race car driver and Porsche expert, Bob Hindson out of Missouri and has been carefully preserved

The entry-level 914/4 model produced over 118,000 examples thanks, in part, to its enticingly low price point. The 914/6, on the other hand, cost almost as much as the 911T, which led to lower sales. Only 3,351 units were sold over a mere three-year production run. What those potential buyers never discovered was the adrenaline-pumping, nimble performance that would make these cars a favorite among race car drivers. With a svelte, low-profile body that boasted pop-up headlights, a removable, trunk-stowable targa top, attractive chrome bumper with round auxiliary headlights, and gold Porsche script and 914/6 logo in the rear, the look was something wholly unique in Porsche design history. Amateur racers still clamor for 914/6s and these classic collectibles continue to soar in popularity and value today. This well-presented and maintained example was restored by 914 legend Bob Hindson. Bob Hindson Racing was among the first shops set up in the United States to acquire 914s for their racing efforts. Hindson would go on to seize backto-back victories at the 24 Hours at Daytona in 1976 and 1977 and win 13 Divisional SCCA Championships. He became integral to the development of 914s as the “famous six” in their SCCA campaign. In fact, Bob Hindson personally owned and restored this very car back in 1984 and the 40-year-old restoration looks shockingly new today, a testament to both his level of restoration work and of the incredible stewards to follow. Hindson repainted the car in its original Porsche Signal Orange, paint code L215. Being the racing man that he was, Mr. Hindson installed a later Porsche 2.4-litre, six-cylinder engine in the car, which makes this five-speed manual with 901 gearbox even more riveting to drive. The 914/6 still bears a Porsche-crested badge that reads, “restored by Bob Hindson Racing.”

The restoration by the famed expert holds up just beautifully today. The paint, brightwork and Fuchs wheels present wonderfully and the car lacks patina inside and out. Inside the well-appointed, two-seat cabin, the attractive perforated leatherette seats, with racing Pyrotect seatbelts, present as more recently restored. The Wilton carpeting is in excellent condition and the elegant textured leatherette paneling in the door panels and around the instruments is uncharacteristically striking for the West German automobiles of this era. A panoramic, racing rearview mirror runs the length of the windshield, but the factory rearview mirror is included in the sale. Over its history, this car has been owned by Michael Gabala of Allentown, Pennsylvania, Bob Hindson Racing, Steve Cousins of Kansas City, who installed an Alpine stereo and Kenwood speaker system, and finally, Carol McCabe Defenbau of Northville, Michigan and most recently, Texas, in the Dennis Collins collection. When Mr. Collins featured this car on an episode of his YouTube Channel, Coffee Walk, Mr. Defenbau revealed the 914/6’s personal significance. His late wife was driving a Porsche 914 the day he met her. Years later, he purchased this 914/6 for her as a 25th anniversary present because he had fallen in love with his wife, and the 914, on the same day. This car has recently had the gas, oil and fluids changed and the petite racer runs like a dream. With pedigreed history, thanks to its restoration by the celebrated Bob Hindson, this 1 of 3,351 Porsche 914/6 is an incredibly wellpreserved restoration that has known stewards who truly understood the value of this collectible classic. It is now ready for the visceral driving experience it was built to provide.

1956 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster • Offered with original two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission • Powered by aftermarket dual-quad carburetors and a 5.7-liter V-8 engine • Radio and heater delete for a lighter road presence

he redesigned 1956 Corvette was the year that the model truly began to earn its name as America’s Sportscar. The inline six-cylinder engine was phased out in favor of a more powerful V-8 with three carbureted options. The body was revised to ditch the fins and incorporate the now-iconic coves running along the breadth of the side panels and the roadster was transformed into a true convertible with roll-up windows. The elevated body and

true performance chops catapulted the Corvette into stardom. Although early-model C1 Corvettes have become desirable over time, their sales were relatively sluggish at the outset. The C1 Corvette didn’t really see rubber meet the road, so to speak, until 1956 when the Corvette C1 received its first major revision. The fins were sliding out of fashion and were removed in favor of taillights that were integrated into the stylish rear fenders and the license

plate descended below the rear bumper to elevate the curve of the trunk. The grated headlights were replaced with slightly protruding headlights that were rimmed in chrome. In an inspired stroke of design brilliance, deep coves were scalloped into the side panels of the car and ran from the front fenders and tapered to the rear. This design feature would become a truly iconic look for Corvette that set it apart from all the competition. Most importantly, and integral to the Corvette’s future legacy as America’s sports car, Zora ArkusDuntov’s dream of transforming the Corvette into a true, race-worthy sports car finally began to gain traction with the shift to only V-8 examples in 1956. The straight-six option was discontinued to accommodate the 4.3-liter V-8 engine, which ranged in power from 210, 225 to 240 horsepower when it was equipped with dual-quad carburetors and Duntov’s high-lift camshaft. The standard three-speed manual transmission remained available along with the new, popular two-speed Powerglide automatic. Handling also improved significantly in this model. Additional factory options for 1956 included the power-assisted convertible top, removable hardtop, power windows, the then-innovative Delco car radio and the aesthetic option of two-tone paint with the contrasting coves. 1956 was a truly transitional and transformative year. A few holdovers would remain for this year alone, including the attractive dual-cowl dash that would travel to a center stack over the gauges by 1957. Only 3,467 examples were produced for the

1956 model year, making it the third-rarest year in Corvette history. By 1957, the Corvette had made such a name for itself that the production number for the year had almost doubled to 6,339 units, but it was the 1956 model year that laid the groundwork for its surge in popularity and increased sales. When this particular 1956 Chevrolet Corvette came to the attention of Dennis Collins, it had been an on-again, off-again family restoration project since 1980 and had been either in the owner’s shop or in a museum for the last 44 years. The father-son restoration team had taken the painstaking time and significant expense to refinish the car in lacquered paint. Robed in Corvette’s Venetian Red, with contrasting beige coves, as could be factory-optioned back in 1956, the presentation is absolutely beautiful. It was a factory radio and heater delete example, making it lighter and faster on the road. It also has a manual white soft top for when the weather is not favorable. Below the alluring hood lies a formidable later, replacement 5.7-liter, small-block engine on the bottom while the top end of the motor appears to be all-original to the car. This is mated to replacement dual-quad carburetors and the original two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Service records from 1970 to 1978 accompany the sale of the car. A correct cosmetic restoration of America’s sports car in the desirable 1956 production year, this is an absolutely ideal example of the Zora ArkusDuntov dream embodied. PLEASE NOTE: This Corvette is equipped with a manual top and does not have a hardtop.

1963 Porsche 356B Super Cabriolet • Upgraded with SC engine and disc brakes • Original body panels and date code wheels • Original livery of Ruby Red over a black leather interior

• Documented by a copy of its Kardex • Sold new by Competition Motors in Hollywood, California

hitting 90 mph in 29.4 seconds, the best upgrade in Porsche’s life was its handling. Earlier models of these little cars took specialized training in the road-control department. While the early 356s could be trained to follow commands on a road course, it took time and a bit of ESP to determine exactly where the rear end of the car was going to end up. With the 356B Super's introduction, improvements started with a stiffer torsion bar system, resetting of the shock

hroughout the lifespan of the legendary Porsche 356, the little air-cooled, rear-engine sports car evolved, from what some early pundits described as a dressed-up Volkswagen, into a world-class and highly respectable sports car. One of the most important evolutionary steps for these cars was the introduction of the 356B Super for 1963. While the venerable four-cylinder engine was providing adequate power to go from 0 to 60 mph in 12.8 seconds,

absorbers, plus new road-hugging tire designs and overall suspension geometry adjustments. All these improvements combined to provide the driver with a more positive feel and sense of control, whether on the road or on the track. Car and Driver magazine laid out the goals and achievements that this little company from West Germany had presented. “The emphasis veered from the stark semi-competition car to the luxurious 'businessman's express'. Which brings up a point: the Porsche does what the Thunderbird would like to do — it's a very 'personal' car and a status symbol of connoisseurs who know automobiles and appreciate fine points of design and craftsmanship. It also does everything most sports cars try to do, representing the ideal they are all striving after.” Simply put, if you loved performance and were confident enough to “grab a bull by the horns”, then the 356B Super might be just the car for you. Equipped with a highly desirable and rare 1964 356 SC engine that was outfitted in period, this 1963 Porsche 356B Super Cabriolet would be sold new

by Competition Motors in Hollywood, California, per its accompanying factory Kardex copy. Recently imported back to the United States, this 356B Super presents in its original color of Ruby Red over a black leather interior. The dash is finished in the same Ruby Red color and features a center-mounted clock and radio. Equipped with the superior 356 SC engine, it has also been converted to disc brakes in all four corners, elevating its drivability and making it the ideal driver for tours and rallies. Furthering its importance, the wheels are date code correct, and the front and rear bonnets have the body number “67” stamped in them, confirming they are the original body panels. Accompanying the sale of this 356B Super Cab is a jack, owner’s manual, convertible top, tonneau cover, headrests, and the aforementioned copy of the factory Kardex. An eye-catching and enjoyable Porsche 356B Super Cabriolet in a desirable specification, this example will make for a delightful addition to tours, rallies, and many of the Porsche club events that stretch around the globe.

improved fully independent suspension, remains the standard by which the world’s finest automobiles are judged. Of course, with its smooth bodylines and avant-garde flair, the 300SL conveyed an image of adventure, speed, and victory – even at rest. Largely based on the W198 300SL “Gullwing,” itself derived from the mighty W194 racing cars of the earlier 1950s, the 300SL Roadster was internally

ome 65 years after debuting at Geneva in March 1957, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster continues to rank among the finest and most influential sports cars ever produced. Timeless in appearance and capable of truly electrifying race-bred performance, even by today’s jaded standards, the 300SL Roadster's technical sophistication, including its SOHC, fuel-injected 3.0-litre engine, and

designated ‘W198 II’ and ushered in a myriad of internal updates while maintaining the sleek basic design cues and performance of its predecessor. As with the prior 300SL “Gullwing,” development and production of the 300SL Roadster was advocated – forcefully – by New York-based Mercedes-Benz importer, Max Hoffman. As buyers expected, the 300SL Roadster was an outstanding performer with strong acceleration and a factory-claimed 137-mph top speed, often higher depending upon the finaldrive ratio selected. Coveted from new by the top luminaries in the business, entertainment, political, and social spheres, the 300SL Roadster continues to weave its magic today as an icon that no proper collection should be without. Just 1,858 300SL Roadsters were built in all during a brief production period from 1957 through 1963. They are still today often regarded as one of the greatest ,and perhaps most timeless, designs of the era. 1 of just 250 units to be produced in 1961, this numbers-matching late-production 300SL Roadster was originally sold new at Keenan Motors Inc. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and has lived a pampered and well-documented life since. The original owner made the wise decision to order this example in one of the most desirable color combinations one could get, factory DB40 Black over a striking factory 1088 Red leather interior. He also checked the box for additional options that included a rare factory optional Becker radio, automatic antenna, W/SW tires, and chrome wheels, which are all documented by the original window sticker and dealer invoice. The second owner, David Coggins of Madison, Connecticut would welcome this example into his

stable in 1972 and lovingly care for and maintain it for some 35 years. He would then sell the car in 2007 to Andre Vant Westeinde of Dallas, Texas. For a short time it was in the hands of Jerry Bensinger before it was acquired by Peter Hageman, wellknown collector and highly respected Pebble Beach Concours Chief Judge. With an astute eye for detail, having dealt with and owned many exceptional vintage cars over the years, he would commission classic car restorers Fenders and Fins Inc. in Woodenville, Washington to do a bare metal professional respray of the factory black exterior and, as you can see, the job was exceptional to say the least. Once the exterior was completed the installation of a new and correct red leather interior was done by well-known 300SL expert John Compton in Oregon. The result was spectacular and remains excellent today. Last but not least, the engine would be completely disassembled, rebuilt and reassembled by none other than Mercedes expert Sigfried Linke of Mount Vernon, Washington, who is also a Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance Judge and CCCA Master Judge. Invoices for the engine work alone exceeded some $52,000. The culmination of all the work would result in a mechanically excellent 300SL with a concours level appearance inside and out. Worldwide Auctioneers would later in 2015 broker the sale of the car for Hageman to its next owner, a well-known East Coast collector. Under his stewardship, the car has received no-expense-spared care and maintenence, always keeping the car in top notch condition as evidenced by its current show quality presentation. The numbers-matching M198 3.0-litre straightsix-cylinder engine per its accompanying MB Data

Card, is brilliantly presented and detailed. Retaining its numbers-matching gearbox and rear end as well, the mechanical components work in harmony as this rare 300SL Roadster effortlessly glides down the road, whether on an exclusive tour or to and from an important concours. Being a late model example, it’s desirably equipped from the factory with the big drum brakes, which adds to its already superior driving abilities. Considered among the rarest of the 300SL braking systems, many 300SL mechanics and aficionados will attest to the big drums being the most effective braking system the model has to offer. Accompanying this Roadster is its original window sticker, dealer invoice, a copy of its MB Data Card,

restoration invoices, previous titles, registrations, a spare tire, and a jack. A beacon of elegance and precision combined in a stylish package that continues to be used as a benchmark to this day, the 300SL Roadster is extremely collectible because of its low production but loved because of its fantastic attributes and drivability. It has the rare gift of being beautiful from every angle, an attribute that very few cars around the world have in common. Thoroughly documented since new and presented in its original factory livery, this sought-after 'big-brake' 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster will be an outstanding addition to concours and tours around the globe as it is truly a world-class automobile.

1959 Cadil ac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible • Iconic '50s-era 'big-fin' styling with stunning color combination • Upgraded with added air-conditioning • Autronic Eye dimming headlights, cruise control, and E-Z Eye glass • One of the most striking GM designs of the 1950s

he unchallenged icon of its era, the 1959 Cadillac, is a testament to the mantra of the 1950s - more is better, too much is not enough. In 1959, Cadillac’s premier Eldorado sub-series included the Seville hardtop, the Biarritz convertible, and the Brougham four-door hardtop. Standard Eldorado features included all the items available on the De Ville line and beyond, including a heater,

fog lamps, air suspension, a radio with a rear-mounted speaker, power windows and vent windows, six-way power seats, power top, remote-control trunk lid lock, electric door locks, and whitewall tires. Additional amenities include numerous lighting conveniences, a visor vanity mirror, and special finned wheel covers. Very few options were available on the Biarritz, although our featured

example has the desirable factory air-conditioning system, Autronic Eye dimming headlights, cruise control, and E-Z Eye glass. Of all the 1959 Cadillacs, the convertibles are the most sought-after, and of course the glamorous Eldorado Biarritz sits at the peak of collectability and desirability. While the 1959 Eldorado was controversial and misunderstood in its time, the collectors and critics of today agree that it possesses an unmatched combination of power, presence, and luxury. The pinnacle of the Cadillac line in 1959, the Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, carried a base price of a then whopping $7,401, and just 1,320 examples were produced for the 1959 model year. This 1959 Eldorado Biarritz is a remarkable example that benefits from an older, high-quality restoration that still presents beautifully today. The car is finished in a stunning combination of a red exterior over white leather upholstery, a contrasting red dash and carpets, and a white convertible top. It still exhibits beautiful paint, excellent brightwork, and straight body panels. During a recent inspection, it was noted that some standard Series 62 components were used during the restoration; however, the chassis number confirms this is indeed a Biarritz. The white leather is in excellent condition, showing some light character from use, particularly on the driver’s seat, but is otherwise beautifully clean and supple. Original interior appointments include a pushbutton radio, dash-mounted Autronic Eye sensor, and an ashtray for every occupant. The pinpoint vinyl top is, of course, power-operated

and in good order, with a small vinyl repair noted on close inspection. The Eldorado Biarritzonly fiberglass parade boot is included for a tidy finishing touch. The Eldorado showcased Cadillac’s ultimate engine for 1959, the powerful Q-Code 390-cubicinch V-8, which is topped by three two-barrel Rochester carburetors. This engine, with a periodcorrect 1959 block produces 345 horsepower and is mated to a three-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Lifting the enormous hood reveals a highly detailed engine compartment with correct colors, decals, and tags. The massive gold air cleaner covers the factory's multiple carburetion system, and power steering and brakes are standard fitments. While a complicated and oft-troublesome air suspension was standard on the Biarritz, this example has since been upgraded to a more desirable coil spring setup - a common practice to improve reliability and eliminate headaches for owners, and many were converted early on. Additionally, it was recently fitted with a new set of correct US-Royal whitewall tires for the proper stance and ride quality. The 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is the ultimate expression of mid-century design excess; all is achieved with a brilliant balance of elegance, sophistication, and panaché. It is no wonder that it is one of the most iconic and collectible American cars of the era, and this marvelous example is certain to bring Cadillac-sized joy to its next custodian.

1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible • 1 of just 518 GT500KR convertibles produced • Deluxe Marti Report and listed in the SAAC Registry #3873 • Nut and bolt restoration; Fitted with rare factory emissions equipment • Equipped with its original 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet V-8 engine

hen Ford first approached Carroll Shelby about creating a “hopped-up” version of the new Mustang, he was already busy with production of his historic Cobra roadsters. However, being the entrepreneur that he was, Shelby threw caution to the wind and set about to make his friends at Ford even more beholden to his genius. The original Shelby Mustang filled the bill of what

Ford was looking for and soon its racing endeavors were making news wherever they appeared. While production of those early GT350 street cars was limited in the first year, the second year saw a major jump in production and sales. But Shelby wanted more for his vehicles and, with Mustang’s redesign in 1967 able to accommodate a big-block V-8, it was “game on”. That year, Shelby introduced

the GT500 available only in fastback models, but still Shelby felt there was more performance to be found. Through experiments with ram-jet technology, a few more horses could be produced and that was the engine that would become the ultimate in regular production Shelbys. The outcome would be an all-out street legal road warrior or as it is properly named, the “King of the Road”. The performance of the GT500KR did not disappoint. Officially, the rated horsepower was advertised at 335; in reality, it was a lot closer to 400, and the torque was terrific at 440 foot-pounds. In 1968, production of the Mustangs destined to become Shelby’s was switched to the Metuchen assembly plant in New Jersey. From there, the cars were shipped to A. O. Smith’s facility in Michigan where they underwent a rigorous process to conform to all of Shelby's specifications before being sent to authorized Shelby-Ford dealers around the country. The GT500KR title would be around for just one year as future GT500s would carry the Cobra Jet engine. A total of just 518 customers stepped up for this top dog in the muscle car wars, and few, if any, found anything to complain about; it was Carroll Shelby’s input that gave it tremendous output. One of the most collectible and sought-after

Shelbys, this one-year-only styling 1968 GT500KR Convertible, benefits from a proper and correct nut and bolt restoration. A resident of multiple significant Ford and Shelby collections, it is documented by a Deluxe Marti Report and is listed in the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) by its Shelby serial number 3873. It is 1 of just 518 GT500KR convertibles to be produced. It is equipped with its original, high flying 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet V-8 engine mated to a C6 automatic transmission, which was a more powerful and fortified version of the 428 Police Interceptor. The Highland Green paint is accentuated with a newer convertible top and combines nicely with the Saddle upholstery and interior. During the restoration, the correct Shelby 10-spoke wheels were restored to a nice shine, a red oxide finish was applied to the undercarriage, and rarely seen factory emissions equipment was added. A resident of multiple significant Shelby collections through the years presenting with a proper and correct restoration this 1 of just 518 GT500KRs is a seldom-seen example of one of Carroll Shelby’s great creations. After close inspection of this unique GT500KR convertible, you'll understand why it earned the name "King of the Road".

1957 Continental Mark I • 1 of 98 produced with factory air-conditioning • Starmist White paint with Bridge of Weir Scottish leather interior

• Legendary 368-cubic-inch Y-block V-8 engine and three-speed automatic transmission • Well-equipped interior with full instrumentation • Low production, hand-built example

The Continental Mark II designation was revived in late 1955, produced largely by hand in the Continental Division of Ford Motor Company, which was completely separate from Lincoln-Mercury. The Mark II was a unique design with the highest quality control ever seen in the automobile industry. Continental set the bar for high-class luxury with the new Continental, and with very limited

availability, it soon appeared even more exclusive than the original Mark. This car was hard to get, even selling for over $10,000 when new, meaning celebrities like Frank Sinatra and Elvis - and even President Dwight D. Eisenhower - had to follow protocol from Ford to qualify for ownership.

This beautifully presented Continental Mark II features a 368-cubic-inch Y-block V-8 with a 408-CFM Carter four-barrel carburetor, linked to a Turbo-Drive three-speed automatic transmission and backed by a 3.07:1 rear end. The engine breathes via dual exhaust. Driver-assist features are top-shelf for the era, including factory air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows, four-way power seats, power vent windows and power antenna. It is simply one of the best equipped luxury cars of the era. This example was built in September of 1956 and is dressed in Starmist White (code 14) with blue and white Bridge of Weir Scottish leather interior (code 1N6B). This combination showcases the pinnacle of Continental design in the mid- to late-1950s. The four-way power seats, carpet and dashboard are all in very good shape, as are the three-spoke steering wheel, door skins, and shift lever. The headliner, rear package shelf, and mirrors are in fine condition as well. Fitting its overall condition, this Mark II has full instrumentation, the original Town and Country AM radio with two speakers, and a Cartier clock. This Continental is 1 of 98 that came with factory air-conditioning and arrived at the dealership in a

special fleece-lined plastic and canvas envelope to protect its finish during transport. The paint remains in very good shape with just a few very minor blemishes on the hood near the windshield. The overall condition is very good, with all windows, mirrors and lights remaining crack-free and clear. The body panels retain a straight and factorycorrect fit, and the exterior trim and the bumpers also fit well and are in fine condition. The car rides on P235/75R15 wide whitewall tires, surrounding the original equipment wheels and wheel covers. The trunk has its spare tire immediately forward of the rear bumper, and the factory air-conditioning condensing unit on the forward wall. Proof of the Mark II’s desirability is that over 65 years after they were made, approximately 50 percent of these cars still survive. They are cherished by their owners for their immaculate style and smooth performance, so it’s no wonder why this lovely Starmist White example is presented today in such fine condition. Join the fun, raise your hand, and bid on a lovely air-conditioned 1957 Continental Mark II. Please Note: This car is titled as a 1957 Lincoln

1969 Chevrolet Camaro LS7 Restomod • Total custom build benefiting from an additional $23,000 in recent upgrades • Striking two-tone blue and black exterior with black leather interior • Equipped with a GM LS7 engine and six-speed manual transmission • Well-appointed with power Wilwood disc brakes and air-conditioning

he Chevrolet Camaro, General Motors’ answer to the hugely successful Ford Mustang, launched for the 1967 model year. Offered in both coupe and convertible body styles, it capitalized on a wide range of market interests with over 80 pieces of optional equipment. Two of the most desirable options packages offered for the Camaro were the RS and SS packages, which could be ordered

separately or together. For 1969, Chevrolet updated the exterior design of the Camaro, making it look longer, lower, and wider. Meanwhile, the RS or “Rally Sport” appearance package provided distinctive hideaway headlights and other embellishments. The SS package offered a louvered hood, specific ornamentation, an upgraded suspension and transmission, power disc brakes, and

a 396-cubic-inch “Turbo Jet” V-8 engine rated to produce an impressive 325 horsepower. The 1969 design has more of a “muscle car look” than the others, making it the perfect car to enhance with modern power and suspension upgrades. This amazing 1969 Camaro, named “Shinedown”, was created by A&R Restorations in Emory, Texas, over a two-year period in 2015-2016. Some of the custom body modifications include a unique hood design crafted of metal that features a cowl hood that tapers forward into a teardropped, dual nostril shape that extends into the header panel. Rally Sport style hidden headlights, a body colored bumper and custom chin spoiler complete the aggressive front look of the car. The back of the car features a handfabricated, all metal crafted, trunk lid spoiler that extends into the top of the quarter panels. Other, more subtle modifications include integrated sidemarker lights and flush-mounted, body-colored, custom door handles by Kindig. The body is painted in a two-tone deep blue and jet black paint scheme with a mirror-gloss finish. The custom interior features black leather TMI seats, tilt steering column, billet steering wheel and custom-crafted door panels with bodycolored inserts. A 1967 Camaro dash was fitted

with Dakota Digital gauges, air-conditioning and a custom fabricated console that sweeps upward to house a Pioneer touch screen stereo with a JL 10-inch trunk-mounted subwoofer. Powering this 1969 Camaro is a powerful GM LS7 engine mated to a six-speed Tremec manual transmission that transfers power back to a 12-bolt rear axle assembly. The engine bay is stunning, with a smooth firewall, Be Cool aluminum radiator with dual fans and custom touches everywhere that are too extensive to list. The suspension system features RideTech components with tubular control arms and subframe connectors. Braking is provided by a Wilwood four-wheel disc brake system with drilled and slotted rotors. The rear inner fender wells have been mini-tubbed to accept larger tires. This custom Camaro rides on 18-inch front and 20-inch rear Rushforth wheels wrapped with Pirelli tires. This full rotisserie restoration and custom build is documented with photos. Approximately $137,000 was initially spent at A&R Restorations, and an additional $23,000 was spent recently to enhance this one-of-a-kind Camaro. No cost was spared to make this car one of the best quality and creatively designed, restomod Camaros and the results are simply stunning.

1971 Cadil ac Coupe De Vil e

adillac’s historic tradition of being the “Standard of the World”, was put into practice with the 1971 model year lineup, as the Coupe De Ville was noted as revolutionizing the realm of luxury automobiles. Beyond the beautifully sculpted exterior, the Coupe De Ville boasted an array of new conveniences, luxuries, and engineering innovations, all meticulously crafted to ensure a seamless, quiet, and comfortable driving experience. Sold new by Fries Cadillac Company to Mr. and Mrs. Kern of Pennsylvania, this 1971 Cadillac Coupe De Ville would live a pampered life and rarely see the open road throughout its 53 years. All original inside and out, this fine example shows just 17,254

original miles on the odometer. Ordered new with $980 of optional equipment and accessories, it was also delivered new to the dealership with a slick-top, not the typical and more common landau vinyl top. Other optional equipment included whitewall tires, an AM/FM radio, soft ray glass, six-way front seat adjuster, headlamp control, and the $500 automatic climate control unit. The Dynasty cloth interior was the the epitome of luxury for the early ‘70s; it is remarkably original and has been very well taken care of in its 53 years of life. Under the long stretched-out hood, is a mechanically sound 472-cubic-inch V-8 engine that pushes out a smooth 345 horsepower and

500 pounds-feet of torque and awaits to float its occupants down the road in style. Within the last few years, this Cadillac has had a handful of notable mechanical repairs which include new front and rear brakes, new upper control arms, bushings, master cylinder, new exhaust system, new air-conditioning compressor, new front and rear shocks, four new tires, and new headlamps. Presenting its next caretaker with the opportunity to either keep this Cadillac as a low mileage example or thoroughly enjoy it as much as they desire, as it has much life yet to live, this Coupe De Ville is just as stylish and pronounced with luxury today, as it was new in 1971.

1992 Aston Martin Virage • 1 of only 93 examples exported for the U.S. market • Recipient of a sympathetic restoration; well-maintained and cared for • Clean CARFAX® with just four owners from new • An understated Aston Martin of the early ‘90s

onceived as a successor to their aging V-8 models, the Virage represented a bold departure for Aston Martin. Spearheaded by then-owner, the Ford Motor Company, the Virage was introduced as a flagship model that combined the timeless aesthetics of traditional craftsmanship with a modern, high-performance soul. Designed by the renowned stylist John Heffernan, the Virage

bore a distinctive, muscular silhouette. Its aerodynamic profile, characterized by smooth lines and pronounced wheel arches, showcased the marriage of form and function. The flush-mounted headlights, a departure from the pop-up lights of its predecessors, lent a modern touch without compromising the car’s timeless elegance. Originally offered with a price tag of $265,000, the Aston

Martin Virage was a sophisticated automobile at the time of its arrival. Rarely seen on U.S. soil, only 411 hand built Virages were produced worldwide, and this example is 1 of just 93 to be exported to the United States. Finished at Aston Martin’s Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England facility in July 1991, this example is pinned with a clean CARFAX® and just four owners since new. It is a recipient of a professional sympathetic and cosmetic restoration under its previous Arizonabased owner, who retained the car from 2015 to 2023. During the restoration, the car was stripped, and any imperfections were attended to, with the finishing touch being resprayed in its present black. At a reported cost of $9,000, the engine was completely gone through, which included a rebuild of the fuel injection system. Inside the cabin, Aston Martin spared no expense in creating an environment that exemplifies luxury and comfort. The grey Connolly leather seats with black piping, Wilton wool carpeting, and polished walnut trim on the dashboard, inner door liners, and center console exuded opulence. During the professional restoration, all new leather and new

carpets were installed, the same as it was when new. Completing the cabin is an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo system, air-conditioning, power seats, and power windows. The heart of this mechanically sound Virage is a hand-assembled, 5.3-litre V-8 engine, which breathes life into this grand tourer. Equipped with a Weber-Marelli fuel injection, the powerplant delivers a robust 330 horsepower, translating to a top speed of 158 miles per hour and a 0 to 60 sprint in the mid-six seconds. This level of power is harnessed by a sophisticated ZF five-speed automatic transmission that ensures the driving experience resonates with both purists and enthusiasts. At the base is a de Dion tube rear suspension and front double wishbone suspension, as well as Kumho Solus 235/65R16 radial tires with factory five-spoke alloy wheels mounted in the center. Wonderfully presented and mechanically sound, this 1 of just 93 U.S.-export Aston Martin Virage is a stylish and understated Aston Martin from the early ‘90s that will transport its occupants in total luxury at an impressive pace.

1966 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser • Four-speed manual gearbox with high and low transfer case • Garaged for 45 years; Body-off-the-frame restoration completed just six months ago • Flawless tan interior with new Dakota instrument panel

he timeless appeal of the Toyota FJ40 begins with solid design, effective styling, and highly reliable mechanical components. Introduced in the U.S. in 1960, by 1963 it was already Toyota’s highest selling U.S. model, and remained in production until the mid ‘80s. Designed as a rugged farmhand in the beginning, the model has survived for decades largely unchanged and is a testament to their off-road capability right from conception.

Legend has it that the Japanese military forces in the Philippines during World War II found an abandoned American military Jeep and began to develop their own version. Inspired by the Jeep and the British Land Rover, once Japan's post-war industry had settled back down around 1951, the newly termed Land Cruiser was brought to market. This is a fully restored and highly soughtafter FJ40 Land Cruiser which will make any off-road enthusiast

take notice. The overall condition is immaculate after a body-off restoration that was finished in 2023, starting with a solid example that had been garage stored for 45 years. The frame was sandblasted and powder coated, with all-new Fox Performance series shocks with a four-inch lift installed, a new Saginaw power steering box, and Tom Woods drive lines in place, ensuring that this fine Land Cruiser will perform and handle even better than new and the underside remains as clean as you will find anywhere. An upgraded 4BBL Terminator fuel-injected crate 350-cubic-inch V-8 engine, with a mild Crower roller rocker cam and a Griffin aluminum radiator with electric fan, is the power used for this amazing FJ. The drivetrain was also upgraded to a four-speed manual gearbox with a high and low gear transfer case. With power steering and new Wilwood power disc brakes, new fine-spline axles with lockers, and a new stainless steel exhaust, you can be confident this FJ will ride even better than new - because it is all new - with significant mechanical upgrades. The body work, as well as the Toyota red paint with clear coat, are both remarkable, showing excellent panel gaps and obvious professional results, all completed within the last six months. The original trim and chrome were removed and

refreshed and looks great. The bumpers are both custom, with a new winch in front just in case. The original white hardtop is also clean and straight. Riding on Fuel aluminum wheels and new Cooper Discoverer STT Pro 35x12.5/R20 tires, this beautiful FJ is ready for shows, rock-crawling, and everything in between. The original floor has been powdercoated and sealed, and the vinyl bucket seats, and rear bench are also freshly restored, with a new roll bar in place. All gauges and lighting were replaced, and with the new Dakota instrument panel, you can be assured that everything looks great and is highly functional. There is a new steering column and tilt steering wheel, and even the hard top roof has been carpeted inside. The paint inside is just as well done as the exterior finishes, and the option list is extensive, with power steering, power disc brakes, fog lights, tinted windows, and a new clock and tachometer. The interior is nothing short of spectacular, with excellent finishes and a sharp attention to detail. This true frame-off rotisserie FJ will surely be of interest and value to collectors for many years to come. An obvious choice for shows, touring, or even rock climbing, it is a readily enjoyable classic that will never go out of style and values keep climbing.

1973 1/2 Porsche 911T Targa • Black on black with desirable long-nose configuration and targa top • Equipped with matching-numbers 2.4-litre, six-cylinder engine, rebuilt in 2002 and five-speed manual transaxle • Many factory options including power windows, Fuchs wheels, Blaupunkt stereo and front spoiler

ne of the most iconic sports cars ever produced, Porsche’s 911 has remained in production for nearly 60 years thanks to its timeless yet evocative styling and dynamic performance. Although the 911 would subtly evolve over time, the enduring flagship guaranteed the 911 would never go out of style. An important year for the 911, this 1973 ½ example pairs the last year of the desirable, long-nose hood and final year for the 2.4-litre,

six-cylinder engine with Porsche’s signature targa top, built to delight any day under the open sky. Largely penned by Ferry Porsche’s son, Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche, the 911 was launched at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show and the alluring model has continued in production to this very day. The 1973 ½ model is a significant and collectible 911 year for myriad reasons, one of which is that it is the last year for the

striking long-nose hood that would be shortened in 1974. The second half of the production year of 1973 also saw the mechanical fuel injection switch to the Bosch CIS (centralized fuel injection) to accommodate emission regulations in the American market. In terms of styling, this model also boasts a targa top that was a fortuitous by-product of the rumor mill. In the mid-Sixties, there was a looming threat that the United States was going to ban full convertibles. With German engineering ingenuity, Porsche came up with the targa top in response. It has become one of the most iconic design elements of its generation and would spur a number of lookalikes on the global market for years to come. The targa top, coupled with the longer nose and the 2.4-litre powerhouse, rounds out the whole package and represents the 911 with undeniable Cold War swagger. Chassis number 9113111904 has two known previous owners and is presented today with its original, matching engine, number 6135165. This 1973 ½ Porsche 911T Targa was sold by Porsche/ Audi Eastern out of Orangeburg, New York to Lawrence Biltekoff of Snyder, New York who kept all the service records throughout his tenure with the car. He sold the car to Carol and Marc A. Earp who were also careful stewards with the car’s records as it still retains its original owner’s manual, Porsche engine warranty book, original window

sticker, maintenance and other records as well as the Blaupunkt radio manual. It retains matching numbers aside from the CIS fuel-injection system, which was changed to European-option Weber carburetors, receipts included, for the automotive rumble that many Porsche enthusiasts still crave. The engine was fully rebuilt in 2002, with receipts on file. The original silver paint was changed to black many years ago and it has enjoyed a life of enjoyment since. There is some paint scuffing around the hood and subtle flaws elsewhere, but the targa top remains glossy; the brightwork and attractive original polished Fuchs wheels look great with a spare in the tidy boot. Entrance into the cockpit reveals old weather-stripping, but the all-black cabin exudes character. The factory-option, patinated black leather seats are akin to a well-worn motorcycle jacket that beckons the driver to turn up Kraftwerk full blast and rev that 2.4-litre, six-cylinder engine while punching through the five, sheer driver-enjoyment gears. The carpeting is tidy for its age and the gauges look clear and crisp against the factory-option leather-wrapped steering wheel with the Porsche crest in the center. “Made in Western Germany,” as attested by the door panel’s stamped 936-9-3 code, this black-on-black 911T is everything a Cold War Porsche 911 should be and looks it as well. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is titled as a 1973.

• Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance award winner • Known provenance; including 40 years in Bill Wolfsberger’s collection • Multiple Best of Show and Best of Class award winner

models in 1934. Of the 1,920 Eleventh Series built, the dual-cowl sport phaeton is believed to be the rarest of them all, with just a mere five examples constructed, of which just three are known to survive today. The documented history of this rare Packard traces back to the early 1960s when it became part of Southern California collector Bill

ne of the most exclusive and luxurious offerings within the Eleventh Series line of Packards, and one that holds multiple final year styling cues, the Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton is placed on a pedestal and admired by all who glance at it. In total, just 1,920 Eleventh Series Super Eight Packards were built before Packard changed directions and began to produce the Twelfth Series

Wolfsberger’s classic car collection. A resident of his collection until his passing, noted Packard restorer, and collector Don Sears of Tiburon, California would acquire it from Wolfsberger’s Estate in 2006. Mr. Sears noted upon taking ownership that this Super Eight 1104 Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton was in solid original condition, and most of the metal and wood components remained in superb condition. Knowing the importance and rarity of this Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton, Mr. Sears would perform an extensive body-off-the-frame restoration with the goal of gracing the greens of the Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance. Showcasing his expertise gained from years of restoring award-winning Packards, every detail, no matter how minute, was meticulously addressed to ensure correctness and quality were met. Ensuring it was more than just a display piece, every mechanical component was also attended to, leaving the 145 horsepower 383-cubic-inch straight-cylinder engine in tip-top shape and ready to be enjoyed on grand touring events throughout North America. Toward the end of 2013, Mr. Sears would pass this Packard on to well-known pre-war collector Larry Nannini. Under Mr. Nannini’s care, this rare one of just five examples would begin its dominance on the West Coast concours show circuit. Its first major outing after its restoration would be in 2014 when it was invited and shown at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance and would garner a class award. This 1104 Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton would

then go on to win Best in Show at the Ironstone, Forest Grove, and Ferndale Concours d’ Elegance and First in Class at the Niello, La Jolla, Alameda Point, and Hillsborough Concours d’ Elegance in the following years. After a five-year stint of ownership, the current owner acquired this gem from Mr. Nannini in 2018, where it had been sparingly driven and kept in a climate-controlled collection. The car currently resides in a respected Arizona-based collection where it has received fastidious care and maintenence befitting a car of its high caliber. Today, the elegant beige color scheme still shows very well and presents wonderfully with the posh sage green leather interior. Equipped with chrome wire wheels, dual fender-mounted spare tires in metal cases with accessory mirrors, a single windshield-mounted spotlight, and a Packard radiator shell adorned with the “goddess of speed” mascot, the luxury is what one would expect from a Packard and makes this vehicle instantly recognizable as a car of importance and prestige. As one of only five to have been built, and one of three known surviving examples, this ’34 Packard Super Eight 1104 Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton, sporting a highly sought-after body style has already collected numerous prestigious concours awards on the West Coast proving its excellence, but its journey has only just begun. Today it stands ready to impress astute collectors and judges at many more important concours events to come. PLEASE NOTE: The correct VIN is 753156; this car is titled to its engine number.

hen Cadillac announced that convertible production would end in 1976, it brought an immediate enthusiastic response from its customers who rushed into their Cadillac dealers to order their very own version of this masterpiece of open-air opulence, even at the base price of $11,049. Places in the order queue changed hands for nearly just as much. Of course, GM did not stay true to their promise of the Eldorado being the last open-topped Cadillac, and

some owners who bought their Eldos as speculative investments even sued GM. The decision to cease building convertibles was explained in a variety of ways: more sporting styling of coupes, declining convertible sales, more turnpike driving that did not favor having the top down, better sound systems, universal air-conditioning, and safety regulations. Ultimately, it was General Motors’ management’s decision to control costs. Regardless of it

being the last or not, the 1976 Eldorado remains a celebrated slice of Americana and a symbol of ‘70s excess in all its glory. Offered here is one of Cadillac’s most luxurious offerings of its time, amazingly showing just 73 miles since new. A highly original time-capsule example, this stunner is finished in Cotillion White over a sumptuous black leather interior and topped with a white power convertible top. This Eldorado is lavishly loaded with luxury and convenience options including remote trunk release, twilight sentinel lighting, climate control, AM/FM/8-Track stereo, carpeted rubber mats, Guide-Matic headlamp control, cruise control, hard convertible top boot, and more. Exceptionally well-preserved inside and out and showing only minor storage-related patina, it retains all original fittings, decals, owner's manual, warranty card, demo 8-track, and even the window sticker still affixed to the glass. Most recently, this Eldorado has

been fitted with a fresh set of correct-size whitewall tires to make this luxury convertible safe to operate; however, the factory original Uniroyal LR 78-15 fullsize spare still resides undisturbed in the trunk along with the unused factory jack assembly. Additionally, the factory rubber trunk mat with Cadillac crest is still in place to protect the beautiful original trunk compartment. Driving a Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is in a league of its own; effortless steering, smooth ride, and opulent interior appointments make for an enchanting driving experience. If one were to decide to drive this time capsule, this Eldorado Convertible stands ready to pamper its next caretaker in luxury and style and to remind other motorists that you are riding in “The Standard of the World” of luxury convertibles. This wonderful 1976 Eldorado offers a rare chance to acquire an all-original, unrestored beauty that may not present itself again. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the vehicle, the title reads exempt.

Once touted as a favorite among the jet set, the 190SL was flaunted by the likes of Ringo Star, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Alfred Hitchcock, Ingrid

York Motor Sports Show. The dream may never have become a reality if it hadn’t been for New York’s rockstar importer, Max Hoffman, who campaigned Mercedes to build an equally alluring yet less expensive roadster to be released alongside the 300SL Gullwing. Although the 190SL lacked the powerhouse chops of the Gullwing, it more than made up for it in terms of sheer styling star power. The seductive body’s design delivered ample curves met with striking lines and sleek chrome accoutrement juxtaposed with the iconic eyebrows over the wheel wells. The look came to epitomize the glamour of the 1950s with German precision, and Hoffman proved to be a genius once more with its popular 25,881 production run. Celebrities across the globe simply clamored to get behind the wheel of a 190SL. The 190SL’s engineering shared the Gullwing’s double-wishbone front and rear single-pivot swing axle suspension, but the body was actually based off the new Mercedes 180 sedan chassis, which further elongated the sweeping lines of the car. It was equipped with an 1,897-cc inline four-cylinder

engine mated to a four-speed gearbox and had twin Solex carburetors. Although the 190SL was never destined for Le Mans, it proved a well-mannered tourer.

The XK120 caused a sensation when it debuted at the 1948 ash and blitzkrieg. Yet, the British firm never sacrificed form over function. The XK120 was named for its then-astonishing feat of Earl’s Court Motor Show. It was Jaguar’s first sports car since the

war and the model would elevate the marque into super stardom. Beneath the bonnet lurked an inline six-cylinder, 3.4-litre engine, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, with a whopping 160 horsepower that could sustain 120 miles per hour without breaking a sweat.

Although rust and patina are prevalent throughout, everything on this car is original aside from a replaced cylinder head. Looking at the underside of the car, you can see wood panels, which appear to reinforce the floorboards, but everything else on the chassis, body and engine are original to the car. The original convertible frame is also present, although it needs upholstery. The Bordeaux Red leather seats are ripped, cracking and foxed, but they too are all-original to the car. The dash is deeply patinaed, but the Smiths instruments are present and striking. This magnificent, old roadster starts and runs with an external fuel source. The original toolkit and jack are also present and ready to round out the all-original package for its next owner. In its current state, this XK120 is pretty incredible, and it is primed to be the whole package for anyone with an eye toward restoration.

Crafted out of three essential materials: ash wood, aluminum and leather, Morgans deliver quite lively performance thanks to their low weight. The ash wood body frame, Edwardian sliding pillar front suspension and low slung doors harken back to another time, a time of beauty as well as function. Between the first 19-year run of the Plus Four, only 7,950 examples were produced; of that, a mere 200 were manufactured as left-hand drive for our shores. Even fewer of that number boasted the formidable Triumph TR4 engine. This incredible Plus Four, complete with the original TR4 powerhouse beneath the bonnet, has enjoyed a life of incredible, well-documented stewardship for nearly 60 years. Sally Ann Miller purchased her 1963 Plus Four in 1964. She autocrossed with this Morgan and every mile was meticulously accounted for in her logbook. The Plus Four retains its original Morgan Autobook and workshop manual as well as a leather-bound auto record that details trips, mileage, servicing and even every tank of gas the car received. Quite a history and excellent caretaking make for a special package on this enchanting Morgan, with only

39,630 original miles. Accompanying the sale are the original tool kit, wheel chocks, gloves, and lead mallet for the knock-off wheels. Inside, a plaque reads, “sold and serviced by Fergus Imported Cars, New York, NY Stock No: 23427,” which further authenticates this rare left-hand drive Plus Four, as Fergus was the only importer and dealer of Morgans in the U.S. at the time. Chassis number 5382 is a matching-numbers, all-original Morgan that is as complete as one could hope for. If this Morgan looks good on paper, the effect is even more dramatic curbside. Aside from an excellent respray of the white paint in the 1970s, the car is patinated yet unchanged from the day it reached our shores. The elegant white body looks absolutely marvelous over the original 48-spoke wire wheels with double-eared knock-off centers and trunk-mounted spare. Inside the bespoke cockpit, the rich burgundy red leather has just the ideal level of patina and looks all the more striking against the white exterior backdrop. The woodgrain dash and Smiths instruments look lovely and are only enhanced by the banjo-style Bluemels Brooklands four-spoke steering wheel. When Dennis Collins featured this car on his YouTube Channel, Coffee Walk, the car had been garage stored with its tonneau cover since 1996. As the veil was lifted, it was quite a special moment. He vowed to detail and service the car, but allow it to shine in all-original glory, and here it is without adulteration. Simply enchanting. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the vehicle, the title reads exempt.

1989 Daimler DS420 Limousine • Used to transport Queen Elizabeth II while on tour in New Zealand in 2002 • $205,000 restoration and upgrade in 2001 by Beacham, Jaguar • Documented by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate • Upgraded with a 4.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine, a “J-gate” shifter, ABS brakes, and dual air-conditioning units

he Daimler DS420 was the preferred automobile for many of the VIN: SAJDWATL3AA201183 world’s government officials and diplomats. Built by the Daimler Company Limited between 1968 and 1992, it is more commonly referred to as the Daimler Limousine; it had few competitors aside from the Mercedes-Benz 600. A popular choice amongst chauffeur services and hotel operators, the DS420 was also the

official State car for many countries. These elegant cars are held in such high esteem, that many Limousines are still employed by the Royal Houses of Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom. The Daimler Limousine has been the preferred choice of many British monarchs and has been used to carry the Royal Warrant for

many years. The last of these royal Daimlers were DS420 Limousines, based on the architecture of the Jaguar 420 and with hand-built bodywork by Vanden Plas, of London. This was the Queen Mother’s favored car of State, and one example went down in history by leading the funeral procession of Princess Diana. Finished in a handsome Jet Black, this DS420’s elegant handmade body shell wraps around an interior that can only be described as sumptuous. According to the certificate acquired from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, this car was delivered new to Wilcox & Company Limousines, Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire, and was originally fitted with a grey interior. In 2001, it was acquired by the New Zealand Government, and thoroughly updated by the respected NZ-based tuning and restoration shop, Beacham Jaguar, where it was extensively converted and updated to the sum of $205,000. The cabin was retrimmed beautifully with buttery soft New Zealand biscuit hides, front and rear. The rear compartment is fitted with two folding jump seats to hold additional passengers as well as privacy curtains and privacy glass. The compartments are divided by an electric-powered glass partition and a two-way intercom is provided to direct the

driver. Passengers can enjoy watching their favorite entertainment on the rear seat television. A periodstyle Nokia integrated phone and Blaupunkt audio system add to the charm of this elegant car. A jack, tool roll and JDHT certificate are included with the car. At Beacham, it was re-powered with Jaguar/ Daimler’s superb 4.0-litre inline six, paired with a four-speed automatic gearbox with Jaguar’s signature “J-gate” shifter, added ABS brakes (a feature no other DS420 had). Beacham also updated the car with dual air-conditioning systems. In recent ownership, it was fitted with lovely chrome wheels wrapped with wide whitewall tires. It is understood that, following its restoration by Beacham, this DS420 long-wheelbase limousine was used by the New Zealand Government to shuttle Queen Elizabeth II on her 50th Anniversary New Zealand tour in 2002. It was sold by the Department of Internal Affairs in 2009 and landed stateside in the care of a devoted DS420 collector, restorer, and enthusiast who has maintained the car in superb condition, with beautiful paint and detailing. A limousine that was quite literally fit for a Queen, this Daimler DS420 is ready to coddle its next royal passengers in proper British style and elegance.

1960 Volkswagen 23-Window Microbus • Iconic 23-window Samba bus styling • Rotisserie restored to a high standard

• 1.5-litre air-cooled flat floor engine • Sliding fabric sunroof and safari windows

Although not quite the first to use such a design, the Volkswagen Type I helped popularize it. The Type II’s rear-drive, rear-engine chassis was derived from the Beetle, along with its horizontally opposed air-cooled four-cylinder engine. Body styles included various commercial-oriented panel vans and flatbed pickups. But what most consider the most iconic version is the multiple passenger-carrying Microbus Deluxe, or Samba, featuring a fun pop-out split windshield and eight large

n the spring of 1950, Volkswagen introduced the Type II Microbus as a follow up to their hugely successful first production model, the well-loved Type I Beetle. Originally designed with the commercial market in mind, different body styles were introduced in the Type II line and were known as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus, with each offering an innovative way to transport cargo and passengers in a convenient, car-sized package. Key to this was its “forward control” layout, which placed the driver over the front wheels.

skylight windows flanking a retractable fabric roof. The first-generation Type II’s were produced from 1951 through the end of 1967, with earlier versions of the Microbus Deluxe having been dubbed “23-Window” models accounting for all the windowpanes present. A wider rear door incorporated in 1964 necessitated removing the two curved, rear-corner windows, thus originating the moniker “21-Window” that applies to this last year of production of this iconic design. One of the most recognizable vehicles ever produced, the Volkswagen Type II, or Samba or Bus as they are more commonly known, has served millions around the world. Perhaps the most soughtafter Type IIs are the 23-window buses. This 1960 Volkswagen presents as a 23-window Deluxe model that has been completely refurbished and looks amazing. It is believed that this particular example was one of many Volkswagens manufactured in Brazil. It is finished attractively in two-tone Mango Green and off-white with white-painted bumpers with overriders. Body-colored 15-inch steel wheels wearing VW-stamped hubcaps are mounted with 165-series Coker Classic whitewall tires giving this great bus a fun and nostalgic look. Equipment includes a highly desirable sliding fabric sunroof,

eight skylight windows, safari-style windshields, pop-out side glass and dual side mirrors. Powering this fun classic is a 1.5-litre air-cooled flat-four engine, featuring dual-port heads, which was overhauled during the restoration process. The great running engine is paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and a 12-volt electrical system. The spacious cabin has been refurbished and features caramel brown upholstery with white piping, along with color-coordinated door and side panels, as well as a beige mohair headliner. Black rubber covers the front floors, while tan square-weave carpets cover the rear floors and cargo area. Dual swing-out doors provide access to a rear compartment that features two rows of bench seats. Additional equipment includes an overhead ventilation unit, a passengerside grab handle, a handy storage shelf, and a Custom Autosound USA-230 stereo. A two-spoke steering wheel accompanies a body dashboard that houses an 80-mph VDO speedometer and gauges for both the fuel level and amperage. This wonderful Volkswagen is iconically stylish, easy to drive and has plenty of room which will be needed for your friends and family as they all will want a ride in this fun Microbus.

1971 Porsche 911T • Exceptionally well-presented U.S.-market example • Restored to its original appearance • Delivered in rare color of Gemini Blue Metallic

• Desirable factory air-conditioning and tinted glass • Accompanied by Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and original tool roll and books

ever known. Based on a pattern similar to the early 356 series, the 911 used a steel platform chassis employing revolutionary torsion bar suspension, MacPherson struts up front and trailing arms to the rear. A major innovation was the 911’s flat-six air-cooled engine, a well-balanced, horizontally opposed machine that would become legendary, and a rock-solid, user friendly five-speed transaxle setup that had been developed as part of Porsche’s 904-competition

o date, the most historically significant Porsche of all time has to be the 911. Born as the 901 in 1963, a name change was required due to a Swedish automaker already reserving that model number, and thus the 911 was created. Over the next 30 years, the same basic lines were used, constantly being modified and updated, and with numerous variations. Race track proven and street driven, the 911 was for many, the only Porsche they have

program. Today 911s are highly sought-after by motoring enthusiasts and collectors alike. The 911T was Porsche’s popular entry-level model. For 1970, Porsche presented the second generation of the 911 which included changes to the engine, a longer wheelbase introduced with the 1969 models, and several upgrades such as the popular alloy Fuchs wheels. Referred to in-house as the C-series, the 911 T’s 2,195cc engine fitted with dual Zenith carburetors, was now rated at 125 horsepower and was available in Coupe or Targa configurations. Presented for your consideration, and a pathway to motoring enjoyment, this is an excellent example of sports car elegance. Recently treated to a full cosmetic restoration, this Porsche is finished in its original Gemini Blue Metallic while the interior sports a fresh black leatherette, just as specified on the factory Certificate of Authenticity. A full engine-out rebuild was undertaken and today this icon of

German engineering is ready for the road or track. It is fitted with the original Fuchs “Light Metal” wheels and air-conditioning that was factory-installed. Part of this package was a full set of tinted glass which today presents itself in a clean, clear condition. All the original instrumentation is present and working, while in the center of the dashboard is mounted the original Blaupunkt “Frankfurt” combination radio and cassette tape player. Today this sporting 911T shows beautifully both on the outside and with the interior appointments. Included is the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, numerous records and receipts, as well as its original books and the coveted complete tool roll. Our consignor has advised us that the air-conditioning system does require servicing. Many Porsche enthusiasts were introduced to the marque because of the 911T, and this is an excellent opportunity to introduce a new generation to the thrill of Porsche perfection.

2021 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak • Number 19 of only 50 built • One of the fastest and most powerful Drag Pak Hemis offered • 630-HP 5.8-liter Whipple supercharged Hemi V-8 • Never raced and ready to annihilate competition at the dragstrip

ver since the invention of the first automobile, people have been trying anything and everything to make their cars go faster; it’s a natural human desire to want the biggest and baddest around. This desire for speed paved the way for one of the most popular sports to take rise, drag strip racing. Drag racing really began on the back roads of America with people looking for that thrill of speed,

and it officially became a sport in 1949 at the famous Bonneville Salt Flats. This was the first time a clock system was used for timing, even though it was only a hand-held stopwatch. The following year, the Santa Ana Drags in Southern California was created, making it the first dragstrip-purpose stadium. This time, a computerized speed clock was used for timing and tracking the cars.

A factory, production-based turn-key track rocket, just 50 lucky enthusiasts had the opportunity to acquire one of these examples in 2021. Numbered 19 of 50, this 2021 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak has never been raced and is primed to tear up the blacktop and annihilate its competition on the dragstrip. Engineered for sanctioned NHRA and NMCA sportsman classes, the heart of this beast is a 4.070” x 3.400” bored-out 5.8-liter Hemi V-8 engine affixed with a Whipple 3.0-liter twinscrew supercharger that turns out an NHRA-rated 630 horsepower. According to an article in Holley dated January 6, 2021, "While it has an NHRA-rated horsepower figure of 630, in reality this engine likely makes north of 1300hp." Backing the engine is a TH400 SFI case raceready three-speed automatic transmission built using a lightweight aluminum driveshaft. The engine is surrounded by an array of industryleading components, which include a 109mm Billet aluminum throttle body, Forged 2618 alloy pistons, Forged H-beam rods, and American Racing headers to ensure everyone at the track hears you screaming down the runway. At the base of this ready-to-roll drag car, is a custom forged stiff chassis with four-link rear suspension and custom BILSTEIN Drag Pak doubleadjustable coil overs in the front. Equipped with a Strange Engineering custom Drag Pak axle and

4.11:1 final drive ratio, this American rocket easily lifts off the ground when the pedal is pushed to the floor. Meeting the safety standards set by the NHRA, it is equipped with a SFI 25.5C-rated roll cage, 10’ cross-form Simpson parachute, RaceTech lightweight FIA-certified seats, SFI and FIA certified safety harnesses. Finished in one of the more patriotic color schemes you’ll find blazing down the strip, and one that will have you yelling “’MERICA!” when you hit the gas, the body is finished in White Knuckle paint with a red and blue Mopar/Drag Pak livery. Rounding out the appearance are black Weld Racing wheels with upgraded Beadlock rear wheels that are wrapped in Mickey Thompson ET Drag Radial tires. Now that you understand what you are looking at, let's just pause for a brief moment of silence for all the cars that these highly exclusive 2021 Dodge Challenger Drag Paks have humiliated and left in the dust on the drag strip…… The engineers at Dodge had two things on their minds when building these track cars - speed and tremendous power. If you are looking for an already fully built and proven dragstrip race car, then look no further. With everything already done and meeting all the strict NHRA safety regulations, this limited edition 1 of just 50 2021 Dodge Challenger Drag Paks will surely fulfill your need for speed.

1964 Sunbeam Tiger MK I 'LAT' Roadster • Sunbeam Tiger Owners Association Certificate of Authenticity • Coventry Transport Museum Certificate of Authenticity • Comprehensive custom restoration with many LAT options • Equipped with upgraded Hi-Po 289-cubic-inch V-8 engine and countless mechanical upgrades

ritish-styled and Carroll Shelby-powered, a surviving Sunbeam Tiger MK I today represents a thrilling and increasingly collectible example of the apex of Carroll Shelby heritage and one of the most svelte bodies to ever come out of the UK. The Sunbeam Tiger MK I was produced from 1964 to 1967 with only 6,450 examples. Although Carroll Shelby would soon be too busy to

guide the Tiger’s racing program, a small number of Tigers would go through Carroll’s high-performance motors program. According to accompanying documentation, this Sunbeam Tiger is one of those rare examples and it comes with myriad LAT (Los Angeles Tiger) enhancements that deliver unparalleled performance. After the Tiger failed to perform at the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans,

Ian Garrad, President of International Automobiles, Incorporated, which was the U.S. Importer of the Sunbeam Tiger, took the helm of the sports car’s racing program under the banner of Hollywood Sports Cars. This fortuitous twist of fate led to the formation of the Los Angeles Tigers company (LAT) , which became responsible for manufacturing highperformance options, specifically for the Tiger’s racing program. LAT options, as they became known, were crafted by some of the most capable names in American racing innovation, including the likes of Vic Edelbrock who crafted a four-barrel carburetor specifically for the Tiger. Hot-rodder Doane Spencer, developed a number of racing accoutrements for the LAT option catalogue. In the end, the LAT catalogue became the ultimate inventory for SCCA hopefuls. Many LAT options were dealer-installed or affixed by Hollywood Sports Cars. This particular car went through Carroll Shelby’s high-performance motors program and has since been bestowed a plethora of LAT enhancements during its comprehensive custom restoration. This attention-grabbing factory Cardinal Red example, perched on rare Cosmic wheels and elevated by perfect black with red piping interior is quite possibly the greatest-performing Sunbeam Tiger MK I in existence, not to mention visually captivating. Long-time owner Brett Simpson has had this car restored to be the ultimate, LAT-equipped Tiger at valet or on the road. Upgraded to the 289-cubic-inch high-performance V-8 engine that

Shelby would later use on the GT350 Shelby Cobra, the engine is fitted with 1993 GT heads and boasts the LAT-inspired F4B four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, Tremec five-speed transmission conversion, alternator conversion, 7K tachometer, a complete exhaust system, LAT-style high-capacity oil pan, LAT valve covers and all the accoutrements one could possibly hope for, including custom black and red Coco mats. Its black and red interior was executed by one of the world’s leading Tiger upholstery experts and the cabin features the desirable Smiths and Jaeger instrumentation. The cooling system was upgraded to the refined MK II Tiger system, and the steering rack has been elevated to a Quick Steer. Additional equipment includes the optional factory hardtop, incredibly rare LAT wheels and an alluring LAT-style steel hood with a fiberglass hood scoop. Built on October 16, 1964, this Sunbeam Tiger MK I, ROTA number 995 (Rootes Order Tiger Assembly), is backed by a Certificate of Authenticity from the all-important Sunbeam Tiger Owners Association as well as the Coventry Transport Museum. A tome of original documentation, including its history in Carroll Shelby’s high-performance motors program, accompanies the sale, along with a treasure trove of additional parts and options that are available to its future owner. True to its original slogan, “Versatile! Drag it! Race It! Swing with it!” this spirited red dame epitomizes more than one could ever hope for in a fun Sixties sports car and it stands ready to be enjoyed to it's adrenaline-pumping fullest. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is titled as a 1965.

1967 Lancia Flavia

he Lancia Flavia was an understated yet stylish sedan and coupe, which made its first appearance at the Turin Motor Show on November 3, 1960. The overall design conveyed a sense of robustness; although bold, the design took some time to win favor in the public eye. Initially equipped with a 1,500-cc engine, the Flavia underwent a displacement increase to 1.8 litres in 1966, producing 92 horsepower, which further rose to 102 horsepower with the addition of the Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection system. The newfound horsepower greatly increased the appeal of the car, improving the top speed to 165 miles per hour. The Flavia also triumphed over many of its competitors in the safety realm, offering effective driving and handling in adverse weather conditions like rain and snowy environments.

In 1967, the second series of the Flavia was introduced, featuring a more contemporary squared line that partially reflected the stylistic elements of its predecessor, the Fulvia. The new stylistic and aesthetic changes were in thanks to Pininfarina, one of the greatest designers and coachbuilders of all time. The interior was also upgraded with the use of high-quality materials, such as the dashboard being adorned with stylish faux wood. Production of the Flavia would come to a close in ’69, as it was replaced by the Lancia 2000. Featuring a hand-assembled Pininfarina-designed body, this 1967 Lancia Flavia received a bare-metal glass/trim-out repaint in its original color of Grigio Escali in 2018. To get the exact shade of Grigio Escali, the original finish in the rear of the back seat trunk separation panel was extracted and duplicated. After the painting process was finished, a new windshield,

rear glass seals, and polished trim strips were installed. Power is delivered from a fuel-injected 1.8-litre flatfour engine that is paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. In 2018, a new clutch kit was installed, the transmission was serviced, and the shift linkage was refurbished. Additionally, marque specialist Adan Figueroa serviced the fuel injection system and brakes. The cabin is fitted with black upholstery on the seats, door panels, and dash, and is accented with silver and gray carpet and a matching newly upholstered headliner. Other interior amenities of note include a clock and period AM/FM radio, faux woodgrain dash, and matching steering wheel. This is a fun and sporty Italian coupe with a four-speed manual gearbox. One will find much enjoyment while cruising through town and winding back country roads with this attractive 1967 Lancia Flavia.

1995 Dodge Viper RT/10 Roadster • Clean CARFAX® • Only three private owners from new • Equipped with a carbon fiber dashboard and center console • Monstrous 8.0-liter V-10 powerplant and six-speed manual transmission

ith its muscular roadster body, lively side-mounted exhaust pipes, and insanely powerful V-10 engine lurking under the hood, the Dodge Viper recalled the purity and purpose of the original Shelby Cobra of the 1960s. Most of all, the Viper’s sheer excitement and wretched excess made the utilitarian K-Car a distant memory and resurrected the once-proud Chrysler performance heritage. While the Viper’s basic concept was drawn from the

IZOD show car of 1985, development gathered steam in early 1988 during a casual meeting between Chrysler president Bob Lutz and Design Chief, Tom Gale. They envisioned a simple, highperformance “image car,” an idea that was also supported by racing legend Carroll Shelby, who was acting as a high-profile consultant for Chrysler at the time. The resulting Viper made its debut at the 1989 North American

International Auto Show in Detroit and was an immediate hit, drawing unsolicited order requests and deposit money on the spot. With its incredible 400-horsepower V-10 engine, stunning performance potential and race-inspired handling, not to mention its sinuous, menacing overall presence, the Viper legend was born. Its basic essence continues today under the careful guidance of Chrysler’s worldfamous Street and Racing Technology (SRT) Division. With performance cars pretty much gone from the automotive landscape at its time of arrival, the Viper held a unique position in the U.S. market then, and still does today, as a true and pure “driver’s car”. Finished in classic Viper Red over a tan leathertrimmed cockpit with a carbon fiber dashboard and middle console insert, this 1995 Dodge Viper RT/10 Roadster is very well-presented and has had just three private owners since new. Most of these first-gen Vipers were driven hard, not properly maintained, or ultimately wrecked. Fortunately, this example has been well-cared for and minimally exercised, as the odometer reads just 14,419 miles. Like the Cobra roadster it emulates, there are no

outside door handles or key cylinders, and almost no trim - just an aerodynamic shape, that looks to attack gravity from every angle. Amenities on this Viper include its factory radio, air-conditioning, and a black removable targa soft top. Under the unique clamshell hood lurks its potent power plant, a rip-roaring, untamed 400-horsepower 8.0-liter aluminum V-10 engine, which is further enhanced by a six-speed manual transmission. To add to the driver-focused experience, this example has four-wheel power disc brakes, power steering, and is fitted with Michelin radial tires. Many will agree that Dodge Viper ownership is relatively low-cost and trouble-free compared to virtually all other exotic cars, making them an ideal choice for frequent motoring. A venomous snake that pushed the boundaries of American performance with its monstrous 8.0-liter V-10 powerplant and lightweight 3,400-pound construction, it is an enduring performance car that stands as the ultimate example of pure, untamed American adrenaline. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the vehicle, mileage is not stated on the title.

1957 Chevrolet Nomad Station Wagon • Recipient of a body-off-the-frame restoration • 283-cubic-inch V-8 engine mated to an automatic transmission • Power Pak equipped with power steering, power brakes and Wonderbar radio

rom its first appearance as a Corvette at GM’s 1954 Waldorf Astoria Motorama, Chevrolet’s dramatic Nomad Station Wagon was a big hit. It was introduced to the regular passenger line in 1955, and its influence extended far beyond the modest total of 8,386 units built that year. This remained true over the car’s threeyear lifespan, even though production actually diminished slightly year by year. The design originated in Harley Earl’s styling section

at General Motors, in a special studio headed by Carl Renner. The show car was built on a 1953 station wagon chassis, with the body rendered in fiberglass, as all Corvettes were and have been ever since. Its hallmark was the gracefully forward-slanted B-pillar, echoed in the rear contour, which was adorned with seven vertical chrome strips. The top had subtle crosswise flutes, which was the work of Renner himself. Production, as part of the regular passenger

line, required steel construction and a higher belt line. Although the show car had an electrically lowered rear window, the production Nomad used a liftgate that had a die-cast frame, which allowed for thinner pillars and resulted in better visibility. The show car’s full cutouts were retained for the production model’s rear wheels, and they were sufficiently prominent, as the side trim was limited to a short molding from the headlight into the front door. For 1956, the Nomad’s side trim had a forward slant, which matched the slope of the door windows. This distinguished it from the rest of the ’56 line, which had a reverse angle at that location. However, the full-wheel cutouts at the rear were abandoned for the contours of the other passenger cars. For 1957, side trim from the Bel Air was used in its entirety, and although less distinctive than its earlier siblings, the overall design harmonizes well. This is the rarest of the trio, as just 6,103 were built. That low volume, combined with the difficulty in adapting the design to the all-new 1958 Chevys, spelled the end of the Nomad as a separate design; although the name was appropriated for later, more conventional wagons. The car being offered underwent a body-off-theframe restoration and it is well-optioned. With this

Nomad’s deep, mirror-gloss paint scheme of India Ivory over Matador Red, gleaming chrome, and fabulous style, it is captivating to see. The engine is the new-for-1957, 283-cubic-inch small block V-8 that is equipped with the highly desirable fourbarrel carburetor, dual-exhaust Power Pak option, which gives it an impressive 220 horsepower, making it a pleasure to drive. The transmission is Chevy’s rugged Powerglide automatic. Opening the door of this Nomad reveals a new, correct, stylish red, Bel Air interior that is welcoming and comfortable. Other desirable options include factory power brakes and power steering, California spec green-tinted glass, factory front and rear bumper guards, deluxe spinner wheel covers, gold anodized grille, factory Wonderbar radio, clock, factory heater and defroster. Additionally, the car is fitted with period-appropriate whitewall tires, and it comes complete with a jack and matching spare tire. A correctly restored Nomad from the year of lowest production is difficult to find as many have been modified or become complete restomods. This car, a needle in the proverbial haystack, is a rarity indeed. This car offers the prospective owner a wonderful opportunity to acquire and enjoy a seldom seen icon of the Fifties.

1946 Ford Super DeLuxe Convertible • Original 1946 body with modified V-8 engine • Upgraded Offenhauser heads and intake • The first post-war model offered by Ford

he story of the 1942 model year halt of American automobile production is nothing new to historians and automobile collectors, but the people behind the design of each car during the era are not always remembered. Ford, as with other manufacturers, resumed civilian production in July of 1945, with an early start to the 1946 model year, quenching the public's thirst for new cars. The 1946 Ford was virtually identical to the 1942 model under

the skin, though a heavy new grille with horizontal bars and red accents somewhat modernized the car. The most notable change was an enlargement of the famed Ford V-8 engine, now at 239 cubic inches and capable of 100 horsepower for the first time. Edsel B. Ford was the avatar of tasteful design at the Ford Motor Company since the early 1920s. Rather than being dependent on local body firms, Ford decided to develop special bodies at his

personal direction. To head up the operation, he hired young Eugene “Bob” Gregorie. They hit it off almost from the beginning; Edsel was delighted with his marine design background and his quiet air of confident authority. Gregorie’s career at Ford began with the assignment of designing the Model Y for the Ford market in Europe which was wellreceived by the English, French, and Germans. The young designer’s compatibility with Edsel Ford, combined with his talent for creative design innovations, led him to become the Chief of Ford’s new Design Department in 1935. Gregorie left Ford Motor Company soon after the death of his patron Edsel in 1943. He returned the following year at the request of Henry Ford II, only to leave after two years due to conflicts with top management, but not before designing the car on offer. Documented by a handful of photos, this 1946 Super DeLuxe Convertible received a body-offthe-frame restoration that was conducted in the late ‘90s and completed in the early 2000s. The body was finished in the attractive period-correct color of Dynamic Maroon and a new light tan

power convertible top was fitted, combining for a charming appearance all while riding on classic Firestone whitewall tires with chrome hubcaps. Retaining its original body, under the hood lies a custom twist. At the heart is a Ford flathead V-8 engine that has been dressed up with a chrome generator, Offenhauser heads and intake manifold with dual carburetors. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission and the rippling sound of the upgraded flathead can be heard through the dual chrome exhaust pipes. Adding to its drivability on tours and weekend cruises, this ’46 Ford is equipped with a radio, heater, dual mirrors, and turn signals. In 2018, this Super DeLuxe Convertible received a handful of mechanical refinements that included a rebuild of the carburetors and radiator, new spark plugs, and the brakes were replaced. Ready to hit the open road, top up or down, this Super DeLuxe Convertible from The Ron Thorne Collection is sure to give its next owner many memories to and from their desired destination, just like it did for Mr. Thorne.

1972 Citroën DS21 Four-Door Sedan • Advanced chassis design • Final year export to North America • Equipped with rare air-conditioning and adaptive headlights • Bare-metal repaint in factory colors

o many wonderful automobiles have been revealed at the Paris Auto Salon and for Citroën, they took center stage at the 1955 exhibition with the unveiling of the revolutionary DS series. Crowds at the sale were up to 10-deep at times and show organizers had to bring in extra security to help keep the situation in order. One might think all this excitement was for a sleek and stealthy sports car;

however, the center of attention was a medium-priced family sedan. During the first day of the show, the company reported 12,000 deposits being placed for the new DS. Citroën’s engineers had created a tour de force with the new hydro-pneumatic suspension assisted by parallel semi-leading arms to the front and trailing arms to the rear, plus the famous self-leveling capabilities. High

pressure steering was self-centering, and the use of a semi-automatic transmission was something never seen before in a vehicle produced in France. As exciting as the mechanics were, the totally new exterior styling had been crafted for Citroën by a collaboration of Italian sculptor Flamino Bertoni and French aeronautical engineer, Andre Lefebvre. Over a million examples would be produced during its 20-year lifetime, with customers ranging from middle class families to the corporate magnates and high-powered politicians. This elegant Citroën DS21 Four-Door Sedan was completed at the Parisian Ste Ame Citroën manufacturing facility in what would be the final year these handsome machines were marketed to North America. This stunning DS21 looks amazing with its Azure Blue exterior paint, camel brown leather front seats, and full rear bench seat. This DS21 spent much of its early life in warm, secure storage in the Edmonton, Alberta, area. The odometer placed within the miles-per-hour speedometer shows just over 36,000. Despite its pristine appearance and condition, it is believed to have rolled over once so true miles are not known. A very well-appointed example, it is fitted with “Coolaire” air-conditioning and having been delivered new in Canada, it is equipped with the ingenious Citroën Adaptive Headlights that turn with the steering wheel to light the road ahead when cornering. The ride of this DS21 is far superior to any of its domestic counterparts and was far ahead of most American built passenger cars. It is powered by the Citroën 2,175-cc inline

overhead valve four-cylinder engine fitted with a Weber two-barrel carburetor and rated at 117 horsepower with the semi-automatic four-speed transaxle. It is reported that in the mid-2000s this sedan was refurbished by Citroën Classics America in San Diego, California. During this process, it was treated to a bare-metal repaint in the original color, a freshening of the interior, as well as overhauling of the drivetrain, the hydro-pneumatic suspension, and brakes. Additional features include the Citroënlogo hood ornament, dual side mirrors, Pallas-style side trim, parcel tray-mounted heater-defroster, and stainless-steel bumpers with black rubber guards. Painted 15-inch steel wheels wear stainless-steel wheel covers and are mounted with a mixed set of 165-series Michelin and Vredestein tires. Stopping power is provided by inboard-mounted front discs and rear drum brakes. Looking through the single-spoke steering wheel gives the driver an unobstructed view of the Jaeger instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by a warning light cluster and a tachometer with a 6,500rpm redline along with supplementary gauges. The lever atop the steering column operates valves that control gear selection and clutch engagement via the central hydraulic system. The air-conditioning compressor has been updated with a rotary style unit. Traveling in this sedan will be a delightful motoring experience whether behind the wheel or in one of the comfortable leather covered seats. Vive la Citroën!

2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano • Well-optioned example with clean CARFAX® and under 14,000 miles from new • Full carbon interior package, carbon steering wheel, 20-inch Challenge wheels, rear leather shelf, and red brake calipers • Thrilling V-12 engine with a six-speed F1-Superfast automated manual transmission • Accompanied by original window sticker

eleased from the legendary Italian stable in 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was one of the most exciting releases of the year and became the successor to the 550 and 575 Maranello. Keeping with the front engine configuration, the 599 paid homage to Ferrari’s renowned test track, the Fiorano, and truly encapsulated the brand’s relentless pursuit of performance and style. For the new 599 platform, Ferrari went with the “light =

might” equation and built it by using three extruded aluminum sections on which the body was riveted and welded to. This, in turn, made the 599 100 kg lighter than the 575, even though it was 250mm longer. Pair those improvements with an eightpercent lighter and more compact V-12 engine and the engineers at Maranello were able to position the engine further back in the engine bay, which meant almost 85 percent of the weight

is contained between the axles. With impressive performance and improved handling, the 599 GTB Fiorano has become an excellent choice for rallies and higher speed extended drives. Finished in Rosso Scuderia over a tan interior with the optional and desirable full carbon fiber interior package, this 599 GTB Fiorano has no problems cocooning its occupants in total luxury, while garnering attention wherever it is driven. Documented with a clean CARFAX®, this Ferrari displays just under 14,000 miles from new. Wellmaintained and serviced, the clutch is reported to be at 80 percent and the brakes are at 95 percent, demonstrating the care it's received throughout its life. Well-optioned, it is factory-fitted with a carbon fiber steering wheel, complementing the full carbon interior, 20-inch Challenge wheels, red brake calipers, and a rear leather shelf located behind the driver and passenger seats. Meticulously fitted with a 6.0-litre V-12 engine, the same that is found in the Enzo Hypercar, it produces

an impressive 612 horsepower and 448 poundsfeet of torque that catapults this 599 GTB Fiorano from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.4 seconds, while achieving 100 mph in 7 seconds. Paired with a six-speed F1-Superfast automated manual transmission and upgraded Capristo exhaust, this prancing steed effortlessly gallops through the gears, delivering a memorable and thrilling driving experience. To protect the paint, this Ferrari has been recently given a full PPE and a clear bra has been applied to the front end. Accompanying this 599 GTB is a clean CARFAX®, factory books, and a car cover. Whether conquering winding mountain roads or torching long stretches of highways, this 599 GTB Fiorano is a true embodiment of the prancing horse legacy. Properly maintained, and tastefully optioned, this lush ’07 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano will be an exciting example to add to one’s rotation of daily driven exotics and be an absolute thrill to enjoy on the road or track.

1956 Ford Thunderbird Roadster • Fine bodywork and paintwork throughout • 312-cubic-inch V-8 power and automatic transmission • 12-volt electrical system and AM/FM radio • A highly-optioned example

nspired by the success of the Corvette, Ford took a slightly different track and billed the 1955 Thunderbird as a personal luxury car, putting a greater emphasis on the car’s comfort and convenience features rather than its inherent sportiness. Designations aside, the Thunderbird achieved its goal and more, outselling the Corvette by an amazing twenty-three to one ratio for 1955 with 16,155

Thunderbirds sold against just 700 Corvettes. Ford pressed on with their foot on the gas and made plans to continue that success in 1956. With the 1955 T-Bird to be considered a financial success, few changes were made to the car for 1956. The most notable changes were moving the spare tire to a continental-style rear bumper in

order to create more storage room in the trunk, a 12-volt electrical system, and functional vents in the front fenders. The 312-cubic-inch engine, featured in this car, was an option over the standard 292-cubicinch V-8 in 1956, as was the new porthole hardtop. There was a total of 15,651 Thunderbirds built in ’56, selling for $3,408 plus any options. The bodywork on this Thunderbird remains excellent, with fine panel gaps and fit, and the paint is also in very nice condition, with only very minor imperfections. Likewise, the white porthole hardtop looks great, with no scratches to be found. The front and rear chrome bumpers retain a great shine with no major scratches or corrosion, and the trim looks good with only a few spots showing some early signs of pitting. Inside, the bench seats, door panels, and carpet all look clean, with some typical minor wear but no flaws. It is obviously a Thunderbird that has lived a good life and been well-cared for, with only honest wear showing from its careful use. The incredible T-Bird dash still looks amazing, and all gauges are in good working order except for the original clock. The headlights and taillights, turn signals, two-speed vacuum wipers, and horn all work well. The previous owner installed an

aftermarket AM/FM radio that retains the classic look of the rest of the dash and sounds great. The data plate indicates this is an original 312-cubic-inch V-8 car with four-barrel carburetor and three-speed automatic transmission - exactly what powers it today. The V-8 runs strong and sounds great through the dual exhaust system that exits through the rear bumper. This car runs on a 12-volt system, and the engine bay is in clean overall condition, with no visible rust to be found. It was undercoated some years ago and can easily be described as clean and lightly used. On the road, the car has plenty of power for modern highway speeds and shifts smoothly. Adding to its drivability and comfort, this example is equipped with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat and aftermarket air-conditioning. The Michelin P215/75 R15 whitewall tires have good tread life left, and they look great with the 15-inch wheels and wire hubcaps. Thunderbirds continue to sell well, show well, and drive well, so consider bidding on this one that will open a whole new world of classic car enjoyment. This 1956 Thunderbird is ready to enjoy, whether it is at local car shows, Thunderbird tours, car club outings, or simply taking a nice long country cruise.

From the Estate of Two-Time Gold Medal Olympian, Bob Richards

2002 Bentley Arnage Red Label • Clean CARFAX® Report • 6.75-litre 400-HP V-8 engine with twin-turbochargers • The epitome of British luxury

utfitted for Queen Elizabeth’s Golden Jubilee that same year and produced for the global market for an eye-watering $230,000 when it was new, the 2002 Bentley Arnage was the epitome of British luxury. This particular 2002 Bentley Arnage Red Label boasts twin-turbochargers and can lay claim to its own historic lineage. This attractive car hails from the estate of two-time Gold Medal Olympian, Bob Richards.

Upon release, the 2002 Bentley Arnage Red Label was an upgrade to the Arnage that debuted in 1998. The 6.75-litre V-8 engine was outfitted with twin-turbochargers that elevated the horsepower to a blistering 400 with a top speed of 170 miles per hour. Bentley’s first new model since 1980, the Arnage catapulted the Bentley marque back to the apex of British luxury and this car is no exception inside and out. With Black Sapphire Metallic paint over sumptuous

oatmeal and blue interior, this elegant British beauty is as posh as they come. VIN SCBCF34F02CX08703 has 55,482 original miles; the check engine light is on and could use a routine servicing. The car is titled to Bob Richards who competed in three Olympic games and won two gold medals in pole vaulting in 1952 and 1956. He was the first face of the Wheaties box, an ordained minister and also ran for President of the United States on the Populist ticket in 1984. This Bentley Arnage is quite possibly as impressive as the great man himself was over his 96-year lifetime. Equipped with a sunroof, power and heated seats, factory navigation and a host of extras, this car is everything one could want in a luxury vehicle. The Black Sapphire Metallic paint, with a nuanced red stripe across the beltline, is trimmed in generous

brightwork and is augmented by six-spoke chrome wheels with Bentley-crested centers. The overall curbside effect is imposing and the condition of the car presents incredibly well. The cabin is carefully trimmed out in total British luxury. The oatmeal leather is diamond tufted in the seat centers as well as the door panels; burl walnut graces the dash, console, door trim, and rear compartments behind the front seats. This cockpit takes beige to a whole other level with its blue carpeting, leather steering wheel and nuanced accents throughout. The interior’s leather shows some mild patina, appropriate to its age, but the overall effect is one of elegant panaché that transcends any luxury vehicle of its time. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle sold on a Texas bonded title and due to the age of the vehicle, the title reads exempt.

1960 Plymouth Fury Convertible • Upgraded 440 V-8 engine • Rare factory color combination of Jet Black with red and white interior • Striking factory chrome front grille guard and Mopar-style chrome wire wheels • Polished stainless-steel fender skirts • One-year-only offering of a Plymouth convertible

ith its towering tailfins, a copious amount of bright trim, and deluxe luxury features, coupled with a high-performance engine, this 1960 Plymouth Fury represents the best of mid-century space-age design. That year was the end of a brief but dramatic period of Virgil Exner’s “Forward Look” of tailfins for Plymouths that

began in 1957 with the sales slogan, “Suddenly it’s 1960!” The first Plymouth Fury was a specialty coupe, a high-powered hardtop introduced in 1956. Only one color was available, Sandstone White, set off by a full-length gold anodized aluminum accent panel. Its 303-cubic-inch V-8 engine had four-barrel carburetion

and developed 240 brake horsepower. While nearly 4,500 were built, they have a very low survival rate, making the truly exceptional cars, such as this one, even more increasingly rare. The Sandstone White and gold motif was kept through 1957 and 1958, the latter available with a Golden Commando 350 dual quad engine making 305 brake horsepower. Having firmly established the Fury name, Plymouth then began to spread it out. For 1959, it was applied to an entire series of sedans, while “Sport Fury” was sequestered for a sport coupe and a convertible, both with the gold side spear but with a wider range of colors. In the watershed year of 1960, when all of Chrysler Corporation went to unitary bodies, the Fury became fully integrated, now the top series offering four different body styles with no special trim among them. This spectacular 1960 Plymouth Fury is a stunning example of Plymouth’s sole convertible offering for 1960. It is handsomely finished in deep Jet Black, a color rarely seen on this Plymouth year and model. The dark color serves to highlight the liberal amount of chrome, polished stainless-steel and ornamentation adorning this top-of-the-line convertible. Special exterior details include an optional factory chrome front grille guard, polished stainless-steel fender skirts and a new set of Moparstyle chrome wire wheels fitted with wide whitewall radial tires. With such an audacious space-age exterior design, the interior was styled to match with as much

flamboyancy. The dash design is fascinating, starting with the unusually shaped “Aero Wheel” steering wheel featuring a partially translucent rim with floating metallic flakes and floating chrome horn button. Beyond the sensational steering wheel is a dash design that looks like it came from a different planet. Factory Plymouth sales literature describes it as such: “The Teleview red-line speedometer ticks off your travel, ribbon fashion, across the face of a modern ‘Floating’ instrument pod.” The seats and door panels contain a dazzling array of red, black, and white details with cloth inserts that are restored to original specifications. The driver is treated to a taller backrest embossed with the Plymouth logo. The original engine has been upgraded to an awsome 440-cubic-inch displacement powerplant with a four-barrel carburetor, topped with a periodlooking chrome air cleaner. The engine bay is beautifully detailed and features high-quality finishes and factory-style chrome valve covers. The automatic transmission is shifted with a floor shifter that bypasses the sometimes-troublesome pushbutton shifter. The pushbuttons have been thoughtfully retained as to not disturb the beauty of the original dash design. Always admired yet seldom seen, well-restored examples such as this one, finished in rare factory Jet Black are soughtafter by collectors today. Restored to a high level, without question, this car is a great fit for Mopar or '50s American car enthusiasts.

1978 Porsche 911SC Targa • Equipped with a highly desirable 3.0-litre, flat six-cylinder SC engine • Recently reconditioned engine and recently rebuilt five-speed transaxle • Four-wheel disc brakes • Included are a parts binder, service receipts, owner’s manual and warranty book, plus numerous extra OEM parts Around the time of its debut in 1963, the Porsche 911 was offered only in closed-roof coupé configuration. This would change in 1967, with the introduction of a now-iconic 911 variant, the Targa. Stuttgart’s new offering was so named to commemorate the firm’s dominance at the famed Targa Florio endurance race in Italy. The partially open roof setup offered drivers the weather protection

of a coupé with the targa top fitted yet retaining the option to quickly stow the roof for top-open enjoyment. Its signature roll cage “hoop” ensured safety and stability akin to a roll bar. Since its association as a Porsche word, the term “Targa” has been borrowed by many competitors and has become synonymous with the partially open roof design. After a brief spell of 'soft' rear

windows, for 1969 a quieter and less leak-prone fixed glass rear window replaced the less than perfect rear convertible top-like material and plastic window; the ever-popular Targa would continue in this form well into the 1990s, sharing countless mechanical and styling developments with its closed cousin along the way. In 1978, the Porsche 911 was still only being offered in these two configurations with the cabriolet not making its full debut until 1983. For 911 enthusiasts of the day, attention was focused on Stuttgart’s new powerplant, the 3.0-litre Super Carrera “SC” engine. The previous magnesium alloy engine case had been replaced with a cast aluminum unit borrowed from the 911 Turbo. This change solved many of the heat-related issues associated with magnesium cases. The new engine was fed by Bosch’s K-Jetronic fuel injection, commonly referred to as CIS for Continuous Injection System. This combination created a powerplant that was almost always mated to Porsche’s five-speed transaxle and rated at 180 horsepower for U.S.-specified examples. The SC continued to wear the wider rear haunches of the previous Carrera models, as well as stiffer anti-roll bars and power disc brakes on all four corners. This stunning 911SC Targa is finished in a rare and attractive Porsche Copper Metallic, making it

stand out in a crowd. The previous owner of this Porsche resided in New Mexico where the climate is ideal for the preservation of cars and made sure this Targa was well-cared for. In 2022, the car was sent to a specialist for a major service that entailed removal and disassembly of the engine, cleaning of the pistons and cylinders, replacement of the head studs, and much more. Additionally, the transaxle received a complete rebuild with new clutch and flywheel, followed by some testing and tuning that resulted in making this 911SC run and drive beautifully. All the work performed is fully documented with receipts that total over $16,000. The mirror-gloss finish of the paint is accented by the black removable targa top and black centered Fuchs wheels fitted with Michelin tires. A pair of newly upgraded headlights add to the crisp look of this classic Porsche Targa. The deep black interior looks fantastic thanks in part to the new, highquality, correct reproduction black leather front seat upholstery installed in 2023, also documented with receipts. Extras include more receipts, a large collection of extra OEM parts, parts binder, owner’s manual, and warranty book. Serviced and ready to enjoy, this 911SC Targa is an excellent choice for anyone that loves Porsches and appreciates a properly maintained machine.

1960 Edsel Ranger Convertible • 1 of just 76 produced • Recent complete restoration • Optional “Super Express” V-8 engine

• Accompanied by restoration photos, original build sheet and paint inspection form

team created a rather attractive vehicle that was distinctive and contemporary for the start of the new decade. Initially, the 1960 Edsel was to reflect the 1959s, presenting six- and nine-passenger Villager station wagons, the Ranger series with two- and fourdoor sedans, plus two- and four-door hardtops, while the upscale Corsair series would offer a four-door sedan, two- and four-door hardtops, and the lone convertible. However, as the clouds grew

ord released the Edsel line of automobiles on September 4, 1957, and within a month, product planners and legal teams were busy contemplating ways to quietly make this new car go away. As the picture grew even more bleak for the Edsel, in March 1958, decisions were made to scrap the already-approved plans for the 1960 model year and perform a crash course in redesign. Making lemonade from lemons, designer Bud Kaufman and his

even darker for the marque, the Corsair series was also scrapped. Keeping up a good front for the public and stringing along dealers who were hoping that prosperity was still just around the corner, glowing press releases touted the “New, Nifty, Thrifty” Edsel for 1960. Production schedules were slashed and on introduction day, October 15, 1959, many dealers did not get even one car for their showroom. On November 19, one month and four days after being released, Ford announced the Edsel brand was being discontinued immediately with just 2,846 having been produced and only 76 of those being convertibles. In late October 1959, Michele Malcangle went to Townsend Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln in San Diego and purchased the only convertible that dealership had. She owned the car until the Spring of 1971 when pioneer Edsel collectors, Ron and Lillian Mitchell from El Monte California purchased the car. Lillian and her 1960 convertible were regular fixtures at car shows and Edsel club meets around the Southern California area and appeared in several of the Hollywood Christmas Lane Parades. In the fall of 1989, the third and current owner acquired the car and removed it from Southern California to the northern climates of Alberta, Canada. While a solid car, it had seen a lot of use and needed a full restoration. The engine and driveline were first to see attention, where the “Super Express” 352-cubic-inch V-8 engine was given a complete rebuild. The original radiator was cleaned and repaired as needed, as was the heater core including hoses and lines. Brakes were rebuilt installing new linings, springs and wheel cylinders, while all shock absorbers were replaced, as well as the rear axle bearings. In 2019, the final step of restoration was

initiated by taking the body down to bare metal and making any repairs needed before applying first an etching primer, followed by a final epoxy primer. Then several coats of original Polar White were applied with just a taste of gold metal flake added to make this unique convertible “pop” when in the sunlight. Next, a new interior from SMS Fabrics was installed featuring the proper Moroccan grain vinyl in turquoise with proper simulated stitching just as Edsel had originally used. The final touch was the matching convertible top boot. Located in the car was the original build sheet which indicated this car had been born with a white top, but under the ownership of Lillian Mitchell, this convertible sported a turquoise top that blended with the interior. To honor Lillian’s long-time ownership of the car, the consignor opted for a new turquoise top. This is a very well-appointed 1960 Edsel with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power front seat and push-button AM radio. During the restoration process, numerous rare and hardto-find NOS items were used including plastic lenses, trim pieces such as an original set of rocker moldings, and a rear mounted continental spare tire holder. Riding on a set of new 225/70XR14 wide whitewall tires, the wheels are adorned with factory full wheel covers and tri-spoke applique spinners. Included is the original build sheet as well as the factory paint inspection form, plus photos of the car during its restoration process. Another rare item included is a new replacement padded dashboard cover ready for installation. A truly interesting and historic part of the American motoring legacy, this Ranger Convertible is sure to garner the new owner awards and accolades far and wide wherever it is shown. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is sold on Canadian documents.

• Rare factory Inca Gold car with both hard and soft tops • Accompanied by its original sales invoice

no pretensions of being a sports car. That attested to be just what the buyers longed for, and in the first year, Ford built and distributed over 16,000 Thunderbirds, or about 23 Thunderbirds for every Corvette built. The 1957 Ford Thunderbird, the third year for this model, was the most popular of all the Thunderbird two-seaters. 21,350 T-Birds were built; however, only 1,499 of them were highperformance E-Code cars.

ubsequent to Chevrolet making deliveries of the new Corvette, its sizzling Motorama show car, Ford countered just two years later with the sporty, yet elegant, Thunderbird. The 1955 Corvette and Thunderbird were both two-seaters based on production sedan components, but the likeness ended there. While the Corvette was presented as a sporty two-seater for more aggressive driving, the T-Bird was for cruising and personal transportation with

Factory equipped with the E-Code options, this Thunderbird has the 270-horsepower 312-cubicinch overhead valve V-8 engine with dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, unique dual air cleaner, aluminum intake manifold, modified heads and cam, and the heavy-duty Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission, which was all a part of the E-Code package. This example is also equipped with power steering, power brakes, power windows and air-conditioning. A landmark personal luxury car with speed in its back pocket when needed, these E-Code birds actually produced more horsepower than Chevrolet’s fuel-injected 283. This factory E-Code Thunderbird was brought back to its original specifications in 2014 per its trim tags and original sales invoice, thanks to a no-expense-spared body-off-the-frame-restoration that totaled over $100,000. Ensuring this T-Bird was ready to stand up to judging events within the automotive realm, the paint cured for six months before the final assembly took place. As 1 of only 1,499 E-Code Birds to leave the factory, its rarity is

elevated even higher as it is finished in Inca Gold, a color that was hardly chosen in ’57. The body panels and doors are straight and narrow and the fit and finish are nice and even all around. Like the paint, the brightwork presents very well. The no-expense-spared restoration would pay off, as this E-Code Thunderbird has garnered an AACA Senior Award, an award at the Concours d’ Elegance at the Saratoga Museum in 2015, and multiple other Best in Show awards over the years. This rare Thunderbird is accompanied by its original sales invoice. The Thunderbird has stood the test of time and is recognized as a milestone in automotive design. This example, with its highly prized factory options and rare color, is ready to attend automotive events around the country and add more awards to its resume. Well-documented and presented with a $100,000 restoration that has already proven much favor at judging events, this 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code Roadster presents its next caretaker with the opportunity to acquire a car that will bring great pride in ownership for decades to come.

For the basic layout and design, he turned to a person who understood performance and competition, Bruce Canepa. His designs produced an extruded aluminum monocoque chassis with specifically designed rocker panels, rear bulkhead and

floorboards of honeycomb construction that offered structural integrity with a savings in weight. Body panels of lightweight carbon fiber were developed and a special folding top by Dura, the same firm that supplied these mechanisms for the Corvette, were added into the mix. At the time of the Series 1’s development, Shelby was having a few issues with his long-time partners at Ford, so he turned to another industry friend, John Rock, General Manager of Oldsmobile, and was able to secure a supply of the L47, 4.0-liter V-8 engines from the North Star family and designed for the Aurora by Oldsmobile. From ZF, he acquired a six-speed transaxle unit that was rebuilt for use in the Shelby by RBT in Austin, Texas. The suspension system was sophisticated with coil over dampers and big, ventilated crossdrilled disc brakes on all four corners. While the Aurora engine sourced from Oldsmobile was a good motor, it was rated at just 250 horsepower. Not leaving “good-enough” alone, Shelby’s team was able to crank another 70 horses from this cutting-edge V-8. This was done by engineering a freer flowing intake manifold, high-flow catalysts with a low-restriction exhaust system developed by Borla using 2.25-inch pipes and dual XRI mufflers which created its own unique musical notes from the front to the rear of the car. With 320 horsepower came 290 pounds-feet of torque, plenty to pull this sports car around any course. Shelby did run into a number of trials and tribulations, but with the help of suppliers and believers in this project, the Series

1 would come to life. MotorTrend’s Randy Lorentzen summed up his first impressions of the Shelby 1 as follows, “Accelerating down the short chute to a 90-degree left-hander, the car feels more 'race car' than 'street car', by a factor of 10. Turn-in response is quicker than instantaneous, and the chassis is so brilliant I find I can get back on the power well before the apex (obviously, I can go much faster into the corners than it originally seemed).” Only 249 Series 1 Roadsters would ultimately be produced, and today, these are becoming increasingly collectible Shelby automobiles. Capable of 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, this is not a car for timid drivers. The crisp shifting pattern gives the driver a feeling of confidence. Collector owned since new, this is a very well-prepared and cared for example showing under 750 miles at the time of cataloging. Finished in Shelby Silver with the red competition stripes, the black and gray leather interior is supple and comfortable. Sounds, other than that magnificent rumble from the engine, are courtesy of the Monsoon sound system, sourced from Buick for the Series 1. The original Goodyear tires, 265/40-ZR18s up front and 315/40-ZR18s to the rear, show virtually no wear and the special fivespoke aluminum wheels by Speedline are also like new. For the ultimate Shelby enthusiast, this Series 1, carrying production number 00004, is a must-have and an opportunity to own a vehicle of historical importance does not often occur. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age of the vehicle, the title reads exempt.

1955 Packard Caribbean Convertible • 1 of 500 Caribbeans produced in 1955 • Presented in original condition including paint and interior • Rare original wire wheels

that its customers, and the rest of the U.S. auto industry, had come to accept as the norm. Nevertheless, Packards of the late 1940s and 1950s are amongst the most collectible of post-war U.S. automobiles, representing the final flowering of that magnificent straight eight. An ultra-luxurious sporting model newly introduced for the

hen veteran industrialist James J. Nance became president of the Packard Motor Car Co. in 1952, he immediately set about rebuilding the storied automaker's prestige and profits, which had eroded in the years following World War II. Although its cars continued to be built to exemplary standards, Packard in the post-WWII years failed to match the pace of styling change

1953 season, the Caribbean Convertible had been inspired by the 'Pan American' show cars of 1952 and was intended to rival the Cadillac Eldorado. Only 750 of these expensive and exclusive models were built in 1953, and a further 400 in 1954, before the Caribbean was extensively restyled on a new chassis for 1955 with a total of 500 produced. The 1955 models showed the world Nance's vision for a modern, fully competitive, V-8-powered Packard - a car that took on archrival Cadillac head-to-head in style, prestige, and performance. Riding on a long wheelbase chassis, the Caribbean was powered by a massive 352-cubic-inch V-8 rated at an impressive 275 horsepower, thanks in part to its dual fourbarrel carburetors, and the new Torsion-Level rear suspension was a feature not available on even the most expensive Cadillac. Costing more than $5,932 at delivery, the Caribbean was well-equipped. Standard luxury equipment included an Ultramatic automatic transmission with pushbutton controls, gold-tone "Caribbean" scripts, power windows, and a Wonderbar radio. Accents throughout use 'V' motifs to signify the new V-8 power. While at its rear, the cathedral style taillights were a novel feature immediately appreciated as a classic, and clever details such as symmetrical radio antennae, albeit only one was active, showed how much had gone into its design. The 500 Caribbean Convertibles built for 1955 represented less than one percent of Packard's total production of just 55,517

cars for the model year. By the time the mildly restyled 1956 models appeared; Packard was in trouble. Sales were sputtering, and a two-year-old merger with Studebaker had both companies drowning in red ink. By the end of the '56 model year, Packard's Detroit assembly and engineering operations were shut down. The proud American luxury brand was effectively finished, although lightly disguised Indiana-built Studebakers would carry the Packard marque forward for two more years. The Caribbean offered here is particularly unique due to its exceptionally high degree of originality. This example retains virtually all of its original paint, interior and mechanical components. It is finished in the striking color combination of White Jade, Rose Quartz, and Gray Pearl (Paint Codes MUH) over White, Fuchsia, and Dark Gray leather (Trim Code 97) with black carpets. The car has been lovingly maintained its entire life while under long term family ownership. For some 30 plus years, this Packard was a fixture at the Tupelo Auto Museum. Following acquisition at the museum liquidation sale, the car was treated to a mechanical freshening to ensure drivability. Recent work includes rebuilding the fuel system, including the dual quad carburetors, the power brake system, the hydraulic system suspension, and the power convertible top. This rare and luxurious Packard Caribbean would bring glamour and style to any automotive gathering.

slightly different styling cues and grew the company's name and reputation. Radically priced at $2,375, about four times the cost of a Ford Model T and the inevitable advancement of combustion engines forced the Detroit Electric Car Company to fold and close its doors in 1939, leaving a lasting impression on the EV market, that can be seen today. An early pioneer in green energy and the electric car market,

he Detroit Electric Car Company was founded in 1907 by Anderson Electric Car Company and soon became one of the most successful electric car manufacturers of its time. Named after its batteries' claimed range of 75 miles, the model 75 featured an elegant design for its time, with a spacious and charming parlorstyle cabin that could accommodate up to five passengers. As the years went on, new models were introduced which featured

this 1918 Detroit Electric Model 75 is a rare and seldom-seen surviving example that has recently been thoroughly refreshed and fitted with new batteries and new Firestone wide whitewall tires. Acquired by the current caretaker in 2021, the previous Massachusetts-based owner purchased this electric gem in 1993. Before his 28 years of enthusiastic ownership, it resided in an Ohiobased collection where it was rightfully restored and repainted. According to Galen Handy, Detroit Electric historian, it is believed this original Model 75 was traded back into the dealership in period and updated with Model 97B styling features and cues. Galen Handy also noted that the Model 75 is one of the best drivers of the classic-looking electric cars, elevating its drivability among other early electric automobiles. Styling cues that accentuate this example are blue-painted wood wheels, original Detroit hubcaps, and a pop-out windshield.

The charming parlor-style cabin with swivel seats and tiller controls, is trimmed in a lavish blue cloth period-style upholstery. To control this EV Model 75, the operator uses two pedals that are placed in front of the left side of the rear bench seats. With no transmission or clutch to worry about, maintenance is primarily focused on the batteries, of which this example was recently fitted with an entirely new set. The dash is adorned with a clock and three gauges, including a DC volt meter, DC amperes meter, and one that tracks the speed and mileage. An automobile that many have never seen, let alone heard of, this Detroit Electric would undoubtedly add a unique touch of vintage charm to one's collection. Way ahead of its time, and way ahead of the EV craze seen today, this 1918 Detroit Electric Model 75 is a true testament to innovation during the progressive era and one that helped set the standard for almost all EV automobiles to follow.

VIN: BICS110544 • A sought-after and attractive post-war design • Classic Ford V-8 power with factory overdrive • Well-equipped with multiple factory accessories • Rebuilt motor with many new engine components

From The Ron Thorne Collection | 1951 Ford Custom Convertible

s Ford’s first new post-war model line, the 1949 Fords were lovingly referred to as the “Shoebox Ford” for their handsome three-box, slab-side body design. Crucially, these new models saved Ford in the face of intense competition from the other members of Detroit’s Big Three as well as a host of independent manufacturers. The new Fords made a huge splash at introduction, with their smoothly streamlined bodyline and lower, wider proportions and integrated front and rear fenders. In a testament to its excellence, the basic 1949 Ford styling theme remained in force through 1951. Other advancements included a new ladder-type frame, independent coil spring front suspension, longitudinal semi-elliptic rear leaf springs, and a modern drive shaft. 1951 was the final year of the new landmark design, with production well above a million units. Accounting for

less than four percent of those units, was the Custom Convertible, making it one of the most desirable Ford models to emerge from 1951. A lovely example of a 1951 Ford Custom Convertible, this Ford hails from prominent Ford and Mercury collector, Ron Thorne. Lovingly cared for by Mr. Thorne, this convertible wears a relatively fresh repaint in its current red color. Displaying bright chrome work, a black power convertible top with red piping, and its signature dual bullet nose grille, its stance is unmistakable. Adding to its exterior charm are factory accessories like dual mirrors, rear fender skirts, and script hubcaps with trim rings that are wrapped in Firestone whitewall tires. Under the hood, the 239-cubic-inch flathead V-8 engine has received a substantial rebuild costing just under $10,000. The work included new gaskets,

a water pump, a distributor, coils, a rebuild of the carburetor and radiator, a new fuel pump, a new clutch, and many other items. The mechanical work, combined with the factory overdrive, allows for this ’51 Ford Custom Convertible to reach and maintain highway speeds with ease. Just as well-kept as the exterior, the interior is trimmed in a two-tone black and red color scheme which complements the exterior of the car. Ideal for tours and long jaunts because of its ample amount of cabin space and factory overdrive, this Custom Convertible also comes equipped with an AM radio and Magic Air heater/defroster. The perfect red Ford to be used to take a trip down memory lane, this Custom Convertible from the final group of cars offered from The Ron Thorne Collection will give its next owner many memorable drives to come.

Coachwork by J. Gurney Nutting

1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Sedanca Coupé • Illustrious provenance; Formerly owned by Nelson Rockefeller • Offered with copies of factory records • Supremely elegant combination of Rolls-Royce and J. Gurney Nutting • CCCA award winner

roduced between 1936 and 1938, the Rolls-Royce 25/30 was introduced as a replacement to the successful 20/25 released in 1929. The reason for creating the 25/30 was largely a desire for increased power to motivate the cars when equipped with elegant and heavy, custom coachwork. Along with other advancements including changes to the braking system, the 3,669cc inline-six

engine was bored out to 4,257cc, while stroke remained the same. This increased displacement gave the updated model enough of a power increase to satisfy the demands of their clientele before the introduction of the Wraith in 1938. J. Gurney Nutting was founded a year after the end of the First World War. In the early Twenties, they were commissioned to

build coachwork for Rolls-Royce chassis, receiving acclaim for their outstanding Sedanca de Ville designs, which became the choice of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, the Duke of York, later King George VI, and the Duke of Kent, earning the company the Royal Warrant between 1931-35. With the advent of the merger and founding of Bentley Motors Ltd. in 1931, such designs could also be found on the contemporary Bentley in the 1930s. Much of the reputation of the coachbuilder's success as a brand can be attributed to the brilliant designer A.F. McNeil, who penned some of the most graceful lines on Rolls-Royce and Bentley chassis, and was renowned at home and overseas for Sedanca de Ville and Sedanca Coupé styles. In fact, that honor may be shared by John Blatchley, McNeil's understudy, who later continued in his mentor's footsteps when McNeil moved to the now Jack Barclay-owned James Young Limited. Blatchley was noted particularly for his introduction of the 'Razor Edge' designs on coupes and sedans, something that in later life he would state his influence to have been the great French carrossiers. Nevertheless, automobiles such as this 25/30 owe their modernity and style to his pen. GRM7 is a perfect example of Blatchley's creativity and is understood to have been their design study number 266. According to copies of the factory records on file it was ordered on May Day, 1936 by H.R. Owen who sold the car to H.D. Chaplin of Fulmer in the Buckinghamshire region, to the

Northwest of London. The completed rolling chassis was delivered to J. Gurney Nutting on August 7th, 1936, for them to execute their craftsmanship, leading to Mr. Chaplin's delivery. At some point, it passed through another esteemed agency, Vincents of Reading, for it still wears a dash plaque and door jamb plates for this company. Unusual for these cars, its post-war history is arguably more interesting than before the hostilities. It is understood that in the early 1950s the car migrated to the U.S. and for a while would become the property of Nelson Rockefeller, the former Vice President of the United States and Governor of New York. Mr. Rockefeller was noted for his appreciation of Rolls-Royce automobiles and would no doubt have recognized the rarity and elegance of its coachwork. Subsequent owners are recorded as C. Fred Brown of Arizona and Ohio, and later James and Donna Metheney of Ohio. At some point along the way, it is evident that the car received a refurbishment and, either then or prior, the Sedanca panel of the bodywork was sealed in the closed position, perhaps in more austere times. The car remains that way today. Its restoration has in former years been well-lauded, garnering awards from the CCCA Ohio Region at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens Car Show, among others. The restoration has aged gracefully and still presents well today. This fine Rolls-Royce offers a rare opportunity to acquire a very special coach-built classic with an illustrious ownership history.

1991 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce • A beautifully restored example of an iconic Alfa Romeo • Clean CARFAX®

• Lovely paint and body panel fit throughout • New leather interior, carpets, and soft top

1991 through 1994 model years, brought warm 1960’s charm into a decade where digital efficiency had largely become the norm. A total of 936 U.S.-specification Spider Veloces were built in 1991. The Series 4 model, introduced on the 1990 auto show circuit, represented a comprehensive facelift from the design house that originally styled the car. This generation of Spider was intended to keep the nameplate viable while the newly Fiat-owned Alfa Romeo readied a completely new, front-wheel-drive replacement.

or the better part of 30 years, Alfa Romeo offered American enthusiasts the quintessential Italian roadster. The Spider represented upmarket beauty, mechanical sophistication, relaxed sportiness, and timeless grace. While its top-down, two-seat packaging might seem a bit narcissistic or indulgent when compared to today's typical family-focused "crossover" mindset, Alfa's Spider was always surprisingly practical and reliable, and it aged incredibly well. Indeed, the final generation, sold here in the

Pininfarina designers Sergio Pininfarina and Renzo Carli gave this classic model a clever and effective redesign that incorporated one piece body color bumpers and sills and a beautifully integrated tail treatment. The interior received minor refinements, along with mandated safety equipment in the form of a standard driver's airbag and knee bolsters for both occupants, and the trunk retained its excellent 10.3-cubic-feet of storage. Another comfort feature making its debut in the Series 4 Spider was standard power steering, a good match for the powerassisted four-wheel disc brakes. This light and sleek roadster benefits from 135-horsepower output from the 2.0-litre fourcylinder engine, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Our staff reports that it starts readily, sounds fantastic, and has remarkable performance for a small roadster. This lovely Spider Veloce was comprehensively restored beginning in 2011, including fresh Rosso Corsa paint, and a new tan canvas soft top was also installed, with receipts documenting the restoration which was finished in 2018. The car looks like new, has a great stance, and needs nothing to roll proudly into any Italian car event. More recent work includes a full mechanical

tune on the 2.0-litre dual overhead cam engine, new AMG battery, and new radial tires on stylish 15 x 6-inch alloy wheels were recently installed. This example is fantastic and fully ready for spirited driving. This upscale Spider Veloce is fitted with stylish leather/Alcantara seat upholstery, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shifter, a canvas soft top with a hard-framed boot, power windows, and factory air-conditioning. New floor mats and carpets have also been installed, making this a very clean and accurate Italian interior. It is roomy and comfortable, and has a classic Italian coachwork feel. With superb bodywork, a new interior, fresh servicing, and a clean CARFAX® to its name, this lovely Alfa is an incredibly easy way to experience the fun of Italian sports car ownership. Robed in classic Rosso Corsa paint with tan leather interior, this car captures the very essence of the incredibly long history of significant Italian designs. One of the longest-running Alfa Romeo models ever, the amazing Spider Veloce was an automotive inspiration for almost 30 years, and today, can be your inspiration as well.

From The Ron Thorne Collection | 1938 Ford DeLuxe Club Coupe

ord entered 1938 with a totally restyled car line and marketing concept that would be carried through until the advent of WWII. Rather than having DeLuxe and Standard models that varied only in trim level, Ford now made these two distinct car lines with different sheet metal for each. The Standard models came with the previous year’s metal, while the new DeLuxe models had all-new designed metal. Along with that, 1938 saw a new front-end styling that featured a pointy, yacht-like nose with a teardrop feature in the grille. This, of course, came from the mind of Edsel Ford and his Chief Designer, Bob Gregorie. With a sleek and rounded body with integrated headlights, a prominent grille, and a more refined overall appearance compared to its predecessors, the ’38 Ford set a new standard for

quality in the low-price car market and became an instant classic. Acquired from a collector in Harvard, Illinois, Ron Thorne would take ownership of this 1938 Ford Club Coupe in the mid-2000s, and it would remain in his collection for close to 17 years. A recipient of an older restoration, it would become a familiar face at AACA events throughout the ‘90s as it would garner its Senior National First Prize award and Senior Grand National winner badge, which both accompany the car today. Displaying a menacing appearance, this V-8 Club Coupe is robed in classic black paint, with spider wheels wrapped in blackwall tires and complementing chrome trim pieces throughout. Mechanically sound, as the 85-horsepower V-8 engine and three-speed manual transmission have

both been gone through and were well-maintained under Mr. Thorne's care. The interior is lined in comfortable tan cloth upholstery and this being a DeLuxe model, the dash is finished in a rich faux walnut woodgrain as opposed to the mahogany paneling the standard models received. The interior is graced with a banjo steering wheel, upgraded turn signals, a gloveboxmounted clock, and a radio. Accompanying this early V-8 Ford is a spare tire, jack, tool kit with some Ford tools, and a 1938 Ford reference book. Like all the cars offered from The Ron Thorne Collection, this 1938 Ford DeLuxe Club Coupe has been correctly restored and mechanically sorted and awaits to be enjoyed on the open road by its next lucky caretaker.

ooted in the dramatically styled Evoq concept car, unveiled at the 1999 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the Cadillac XLR heralded a resurgent, performance-minded Cadillac Division and conclusively proved high-technology, high-performance automobiles can be aesthetically appealing. The most radical and certainly best-performing Cadillac since the celebrated Eldorado, the XLR immediately made a bold statement with design language emphasizing aggressive, angular body lines. Starting with an all-new performance-oriented chassis design, Cadillac engineers added the comfort and refinement of a luxury coupe. The light, strong, and rigid chassis was also the basis for the C6 Corvette and provided valuable data for the Corvette. Powered by the 4.6-liter Northstar V-8 developing 320 horsepower and

mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, the XLR delivers stunning levels of performance. In July 2003, Road & Track magazine testers sprinted from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 5.6 seconds and covered the quarter mile in 14.0 seconds. Top speed was an electronically limited 155 mph. With an ideal 50/50 weight distribution and communicative steering, the XLR remains a true dualpurpose roadster, capable of handling all road conditions with stability and confidence. Technical innovations abound, including Magnetic Ride Control, ABS brakes, stability control, and traction control. Finished in Silver Metallic over a black leather interior, this 2006 Cadillac XLR has traveled 44,433 miles in the past 18 years. Originally leased, this Cadillac would stay with the same owner until just recently in 2023. The 4.6-liter Northstar V-8 engine and automatic transmission with

overdrive have been well-maintained and are a lovely combination. Mechanical creature comforts on this rear-wheel drive XLR include power steering, power brakes, power seats, and dual power mirrors. Factory polished aluminum 18-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin 235/50ZR18 tires can be found on all four corners. An interior filled with luxury, this example has a Dolby CD/DVD player with navigation, industry-leading Bose speakers, and controls integrated into the steering wheel. Well-detailed throughout and featuring a clean underside, this XLR has been faithfully maintained throughout its life. A stylish car that continues to gain attention on the road and offers year-round comfort at the push of a button, with its amazing retractable hardtop roof, this ’06 Cadillac XLR will be a lovely vehicle to add to one's rotation of daily drivers.

1997 Toyota Supra Twin-Turbo Targa • The definitive Japanese performance car of the decade • Clean CARFAX® and only two-owners from new • 15th Anniversary Edition; removable targa top

• Sought-after 3.0L V-6 Twin Turbo 2JZ-GTE • An unmolested example ready for continued enjoyment

A80’s unveiling at the 1993 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota had gotten ambitious. Toyota trimmed 220 pounds off the third-generation car, and while based on the same platform as the Lexus SC, the Supra was still thirteen inches shorter. It was also lighter than the rival 300ZX Twin Turbo and Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, and had double wishbone and multilink suspension, with turbocharged models fitted with a limited-slip differential and electronic traction control.

he late 1980s and early 1990s were a great time for the Japanese car industry and for sports cars in particular, with some of the most memorable designs to ever come out of the country before or since introduced from 1985-1995. One solid contender for the greatest of all of them is the Mark IV Supra, also known as the A80. While the Supra started as a car based largely on the Celica, it had developed into its own distinct model and by the time of the

The A80 also has remarkable brakes, with a foursensor ABS system with yaw control that helps the Supra Turbo brake from 70-0 mph in 149 feet. The most famous ingredient of the A80 Toyota Supra though, was its engine – the 2JZ-series straight six. Eminently tunable, it is a unit that people have tweaked over 2,000 horsepower out of, and even 700 horsepower is apparently possible without having to open the bottom end. In stock naturally aspirated form, the engine produced 220 horses. The twin turbo model, such as this car, generated 326 horsepower and came standard with a six-speed Getrag manual gearbox. This car was ordered with the optional four-speed automatic with manual shift mode. Peak torque came all the way from 1,300 to 4,500 RPM. 0-60 for turbocharged models came in about five seconds, and top speed was a limited 155 mph. Supras were raced all over the world from Pikes Peak to Le Mans and won championships in the Japanese Grand Touring Championship (JGTC) in 1991, 2001, 2002 and 2005. The A80 Supra soon became an icon of tuner culture. When introduced, the Supra was also one of the best-looking new cars on the market, not just from Japan but from anywhere. Turbo models also came standard with a

rear-spoiler and, from 1996, a targa roof. 1997 marked the fifteenth anniversary of the Supra and its look was refreshed with an attractively restyled front bumper and headlights. This two-owner example is finished handsomely in Alpine Silver and has the distinction of being a 15th Anniversary Edition 1997 model year Supra. Largely original and well kept, it is evident that this rare Supra has had an attentive owner that has never altered it from its stock original condition. Even the battery is a Toyota brand replacement. Factory equipment on this car includes 17-inch chrome plated Toyota rims, 15th Anniversary badging, black leather seats, factory AM/FM/CD/Cassette radio and a full complement of power accessories that one would expect in a premium performance car of this caliber. The A80 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo is arguably the definitive Japanese performance car of its decade, and for that alone, it is highly collectible. It has also been a vastly popular tuner car, resulting in many of them having been greatly modified and subsequently, often damaged as well. Therefore, an original example such as this is nearly impossible to come by, making it considerably more desirable and appealing to discerning sports car collectors and enthusiasts.
