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

Outside of one meticulous repaint and reupholstered leather seats, this Berlinetta 512 is all original and presented here in classic Ferrari red with tan leather. The second generation Boxer has a more refined interior. The seats were lower and better padded, the dash display more visible and there was more emphasis on luxury accents. This Ferrari was part of a well-known Ferrari collection and has been professionally maintained. It comes with all the proper paperwork, manuals, tools and spare tire. It is serviced and ready to be enjoyed. The later BB 512?s were fuel injected, however carbureted Ferraris clearly bring a premium. Here is an opportunity to enhance your Ferrari collection with a rare and desirable supercar and last of the carbureted Ferraris.

Gerry Coker?s original Austin-Healey 100 design debuted in 1952. It was an instant success filling a niche between the MG?s and OTS Jaguars of the day. The basic roadster was powered by a 2.5 litre inline 4 cyl and could speed along in excess of 100 mph, hence the designation; Healey One Hundred. By 1967 the Austin-Healey had evolved in to the 3000 Mk III. The larger 3 litre inline 6cyl yielded a modest 150 horsepower. The cockpit was extensively revised with roll up windows, beautiful wood trimmed dash, center console and rear jump seats making the 3000 MkIII the most luxurious of all big Healey?s.

1967 was the last year of production for the BJ8 series Healey, and this one happens to also be near the end of production cycle. This stunning MK III is finished in Old English White over black upholstery is in pristine condition. Every attention to detail has been addressed to perfection, the finish, the gaps, the chrome and the solid Walnut Burl wood dash are in top Concours quality. The car come with all manuals, books, tools, spare and tie downs. Everything is there and everything works!

This distinctive example before you may very well be the finest no-expense spared Austin Healey 3000 available.

1991 Ferrari F40

AUCTION ESTIMATE $1,000,000 ? $1,300,000

• Rare F40
• Euro car, No Catalytic Converters
• 360 Kmh Speedometer showing 44,121 Km
• Manual Glass windows
• Air Conditioning
• Recent Serviced by Ferrari

The legendary Ferrari F40 is one of the last cars that Enzo had a hand in creating. It is a result of the works penned by the former and famed Pininfarina designer Leonardo Fioravanti, with some of his credits being the Daytona 365GTB/4, Ferrari Dino, Berlinetta Boxer 512 and Ferrari GTO. What started out to be a modest successor to the 288 GTO, deviated dramatically than was originally planned. After spending some time in the wind tunnel and track time experimenting with a newly designed small displacement twin turbocharged V8, the result was the 200+ mph F40 super car.

This F40 has been preserved in like new condition and maintained by professional Ferrari mechanics. The 2.9 litre twin turbocharged V8 generates some 471 horsepower and can sprint to 60 in under 4 seconds. The F40 comes from the factory as a lightweight street car fitted with the bare essentials: full instrumentation, 360 kmh speedometer, racing carbon fiber bucket seats, quick release 4 point shoulder harnesses and air-conditioning. The F40 is docile enough to be driven on any street, yet fierce enough to wreak havoc on any race track. The F40 was priced at $400,000 when new, and due to their rarity, somewhere around 1200 cars produced over a 5 year span, have become one of the fastest appreciating Ferraris in recent years.

• Ghia Coachbuilt ST Special, one of two known to exist
• Presumed to be last Chrysler Ghia Special Built
• Concours Quality Restoration
• 250 Horsepower Hemi V8 with Powerflite automatic transmission

After WWII there was a huge interest in sleek luxury European cars. The US manufacturers realized this and teamed up with many European coach builders to design and build concept cars or limited edition production cars. Many of the 50?s coach builders were based in Italy, such as Pininfarina, Bertone, Carrozzaria Turin and Ghia to name a few. Chrysler and Ghia teamed up quite a bit during the 1950s, developing numerous concept cars. Between 1952 and 1955, Ghia built a handful of beautiful coupes and convertibles on Chrysler frames called ?Specials?.

This amazing Special is one of two ST?s known to exist and was sold new off Ghia?s display at the 1955 Turin Motor Show. It spent most of its life in France where it was eventually discovered in barn-find condition, sold to a renowned American collector and subsequently brought to the USA and restored to a no expense spared Concours winning condition. The hand built body rides on a Chrysler New Yorker chassis powered by a 5.4-liter Hemi V-8 and powerflite transmission. This stunning car?s exterior is finished in pleasing two tone copper and beige with a corresponding copper-brown and beige interior. All the brightwork is as new, including steel wire wheels and wide white wall tires. Every attention to detail was used to bring the ST Special back to the day as it was first seen in 1955 at the Turin Motor Show. Now it is time for a proud new owner to commence showing this fabulous car at Concours events around the world.

1957 Mercedes 300SC Cabriolet A

AUCTION ESTIMATE $800,000 ? $1,000,000

175 bhp, 2,996 cc overhead-cam inline-six engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, four-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension with coil springs, rear swing axles with coil springs, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 114.25 in.

• One of only 49 examples built
• Desirable Einspritzmotor (fuel-injected) Sc engine
• Recent thorough restoration
• Pinnacle of post-war Mercedes-Benz engineering

Introduced in April of 1951 at the first-ever Frankfurt Motor Show and later that year in October at the Paris Motor Show, the 300 was to be the crown jewel in the post-war Mercedes-Benz crown. The 300 was initially offered in cabriolet and saloon models on the W186 chassis; however, the shorter and sportier W188 chassis would also be used to provide customers with roadster, coupe, and cabriolet versions. Featuring an independent suspension, the 300 provided outstanding comfort, even when cruising at a maximum speed of 100 mph.

In 1955, the engineers upgraded the engine using the Bosch fuel-injection system introduced on the 300 SL. Fuel was injected directly into the cylinders, but the fuel-injection pump was driven by a chain instead of a gear train. With a slightly milder cam than the sports cars, the M188 II engine produced 175 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque, a substantial increase over the 300 S.

With the new engine, denoted by the words ?Einspritzmotor? (fuel-injected engine) on the rear bumper, the 300 Sc was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1955. Only a few other trim changes, including chromed cooling vents about each fender, perforated chromed disc wheels, and enlarged turn signals, distinguished the new model.

With the technical improvements, 145 units were sold during the remainder of 1955 and through 1956. However, even the impeccable craftsmanship and traditional lines were not enough to overcome potential buyers? reluctance to accept the lack of air conditioning, automatic transmission, and powered amenities common in competitive luxury cars. Only 52 units would be sold in 1957 and three more in 1958 after production ended. In total, only 49 cabriolets, 53 roadsters, and 98 coupes were sold, making these models among the rarest dealer-ordered automobiles ever produced by Mercedes-Benz.

The cabriolet offered here recently underwent a complete restoration by specialists in California, where the current owner acquired it following long-term ownership by two Pacific Coast residents. The fenders, doors, trunk, and hood were all removed and the body stripped down to bare metal prior to painting. Matching the build sheet, the Black (DB 114) finish was applied in six stages, then sanded and buffed to produce a rich finish. In addition to the stunning black livery, the exterior and a large majority of interior chrome were redone with triple plating; the original rims, hubcaps, radiator shell and cap, door handles, and door lock cylinder were re-chromed by the same individual to ensure a consistent finish. Some parts were replaced with NOS components, such as the 300 S badge on the rear and the correct convex Mercedes-Benz stars.

The correct Red (1079) leather interior is fully new and hand-stitched for a precision fit, as is the top pad and headliner, while the red braided leather roof handles are original and remain in good condition. Further interior work was also completed on the steering wheel, ashtray, and other accessories.

The engine received a comprehensive examination, including disassembly, inspection, and servicing; work was also completed on the wire harness, ensuring that all electrical components are in proper working order throughout. The horns and sealed-beam headlamps were disassembled and restored to their proper working condition.

The car is offered with a variety of ultra-desirable additions, including the original keys, luggage set, and tool kit. It is a scarce opportunity to acquire a high-quality example of one of the rarest post-war Mercedes-Benz vehicles and, arguably, the pinnacle of the 300?s evolution

Dateline 2003: Detroit, Michigan USA: Out in front of the Glass House at the 100th anniversary of Ford Motor Company, the successor to the victorious and multiple Le Mans winning Ford GT40 was unveiled.

In 1952, GM introduced the Cadillac Eldorado Golden Anniversary concept car as one of the many show cars built to demonstrate GMs prowess in automotive styling and design. The car was a smash hit, labeled as a dream car and prompted Cadillac to put it into production as a halo car for the premium-brand manufacturer. The massive windshield had a roadster look, and the beltline of the Eldorado was lower than other Cadillacs; using a 126-inch wheelbase, the car appeared impossibly long. Dripping with chrome and amenities, it was one of the most opulent cars ever produced. Oldsmobile and Buick also placed into production the 98 Fiesta and Roadmaster Skylark while the Corvette?s debut created GM?s quartet of limited-production 1953 Motorama dream cars. The average cost of a home in the United States approached $10,000, and the Eldorado was close at about $8,000, roughly $70,000 in 2015 dollars. The Eldorado Convertible was replete with every luxury Cadillac could install, spoiling passengers with the utmost in technology and style. If Cadillac wasn?t already at the top of the luxury market, the Eldorado placed it there. Largely because of the hefty price tag, only 532 Eldorado?s were built in 1953, giving it a huge advantage in the collector market as an exceptional collector car, always harboring respect from car enthusiasts the world over. This 1953 Eldorado features the 331/210 HP V-8 engine with automatic transmission and is presented in correct Aztec Red paint with a stunning red and white leather interior. Having traveled less than 100 miles since a comprehensive restoration, the car also hosts a fiberglass parade boot, AM radio, dash clock, fender skirts, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewall tires and Continental spare-tire kit. Like it did when new, the 1953 Eldorado Convertible still sets hearts afire as an American dream car.

The 1950 Leo Lyons Ultra Modern Merc

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

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

Leo Lyons, now 30 years old, debuted his car ? The Leo Lyons Custom Merc ? across Southern California Custom Car shows nearly a full 10 years after he started. Each time, he was recognized with awards and the moniker the ?Ultra Modern Merc.? This car is the most radically customized ?49-51 Custom Mercury built in-period, and has been recognized as the last significant Custom Mercury built in the ?50s.

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