1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
Lot # 3 (Sale Order: 3 of 110)
1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible - VIN: 6L67S6Q229399 - Offered Without Reserve - Highly original car | Exclusive 500 cubic-inch V-8 engine | Part of Cadillac’s personal luxury lineup - 500 cid, 8.2-liter V-8 engine, three-speed automatic transmission, front wheel drive; wheelbase: 126.3â€
Known for class and luxury, Cadillac has built a reputation that is known around the world. One car that was a part of that luxury line and helped its success was the Eldorado. The Eldorado first debuted in 1952 and saw twelve different generations in its lifetime before ending in 2002. The personal luxury car was one of Cadillac’s highest priced vehicles when it first debuted and many years after. But, by the time it got to 1976, the Eldorado had already gone through eight different model generations and had dropped a few spots from being the top-of-the-line model in Cadillac’s lineup. The ninth generation Eldorados saw quite the changes, the car grew in length by two inches compared to the previous generation; fender skirts became standard, giving the car a heavier appearance; and a convertible option became available again, the first time since 1966. For the 1976 model year, General Motors announced it as being the final year for the Eldorado Convertible and promoted it as “the last American convertibleâ€. This encouraged many people to buy it, thinking it would be a good investment to hold onto it. However, in 1984, Cadillac decided to reintroduce the Eldorado convertible, causing an uprising in the Cadillac community. Many no longer saw their 1976 models as investments and either got rid of them or started to put high miles on them, causing them to actually be rarer today in their original condition.
This highly original 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible shows 85,863 miles; however, due to the age of the vehicle, the title is exempt from mileage requirements. Like the rest of the Eldorados in 1976, it received minor styling changes like a new grille, revised taillamp lenses, and black painted wheels covers. The body is painted in its factory cream paint and light pinstriping that runs from the grille down the side to the rear of the car. The tan convertible top seems to be in good shape, though it is unknown if it is leak-proof. The inside has a dual comfort 50/50 spilt bench seat, AM/FM stereo with tape player, and a tilt telescoping steering column. Under the hood is a monstrous 500 cubic-inch V-8 engine, which was exclusive to just the Eldorado models.

1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
Lot # 4 (Sale Order: 4 of 110)
1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 - VIN: 1Q87L8L599400 - Offered Without Reserve - Second-generation Camaro | Excellent black leather seats | Solid example ready for recommissioning - V-8 engine, A-arm front suspension, rear leaf springs to control solid rear axle, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase: 108â€
In the early months of 1965, rumors began to swirl around the automotive world that Chevrolet had been secretly constructing a new muscle/pony car to directly compete against the Ford Mustang. To keep everyone on their toes, it was code named “Panther†and General Motors sent a coded email to over 200 automotive journalists saying there would be a press conference on June 21st, 1966, at Detroit’s Statler-Hilton hotel. Led by Chevrolet general manager, Pete Estes, the overpacked room anxiously awaited the news. When Estes finally unveiled the Camaro, and the automotive press’s reaction was, “What? What in the world is a Camaro?†To which Estes replied, “it’s a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs.†Not going for sale until 1967, the Camaro lived up to that quote and gave the Ford Mustang a run for its money, finally having a worthwhile competitor. Lasting till 1969, the new decade welcomed in the second-generation Camaro in the spring of 1970. The new Camaro’s body was lower, longer, and wider which gave it a more aerodynamic look and feel.
The 1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 being discussed here would benefit from a restoration to bring it back to life. The odometer reads under 50,000 miles; however, due to the age of the vehicle, the title is exempt from mileage requirements. With a proper restoration, this Camaro will have lots of life left to give to its next owner. The clearcoat on the hood, roof, and truck has peeled away allowing for the paint to fade. The body sits on Keystone Klassic blacked out wheels and General XP 2000 tires. While the inside is not stellar, the black leather seats are in excellent condition. This rear-wheel drive muscle car comes equipped with a V-8 engine that is backed by a three-speed manual transmission. Ready to go to a new owner, this American legend patiently awaits its next caretaker to bring it back to roadworthy condition.

1995 Ford Bronco
Lot # 5 (Sale Order: 5 of 110)
1995 Ford Bronco - VIN: 1FMEU15H8SLB42365 - Offered Without Reserve - Legendary Bronco name and status | Eddie Bauer edition | Recent surge in popularity due to the new 2021 Bronco - The sport utility vehicle market had been controlled by the Jeep CJ-5, International Harvester Scout, and Toyota Land Cruiser. Ford knew they were missing out on profit, so they turned to Product Manager, Donald N. Frey, in the early 1960s to fix this issue. Frey, who would later be credited with the conception of the Ford Mustang, linked up with Ford Engineer, Paul G. Axelrad, and the two went on to construct the first Ford Bronco. With the final approval coming from Lee Iacocca, production began in 1964 and the first-generation Ford Bronco was sold to the public in 1966. The Bronco was an instant legend and quickly began to overtake market share in the sport utility market. The Bronco would make it to its fifth generation starting in 1991 and ending in 1996. After the last Ford Bronco rolled off the assembly line June 12th, 1996, many thought it would be put to rest and would never make its way back onto the production line. But when Ford announced the Bronco would return for the 2021 year, the legendary status was once again. The announcement not only made people eager for the new model, but it also took previous generations’ prices to a whole new level, causing people to want a piece of the legendary name, no matter what the model year.
Fitted with the Eddie Bauer package, this fifth generation 1995 Ford Bronco is ready to hit the open road once again. Powered by a 5.8-liter V-8 engine and backed by a four-speed automatic transmission, this Bronco is ready to take on the toughest terrain. The exterior is painted in a deep burgundy with chrome and tan counterparts. The sides proudly display the famous Bronco, and special edition Eddie Bauer, badging. Adding to the uniqueness of the Bronco, the rear half of the roof is removable, exposing the trunk and rear bench seating. At the time, a removable top was deemed illegal due the lack of safety features, but instead of doing away with it, Ford simply removed all reference of the top being removable and just used tamper-proof bolts to secure it down. The public quickly figured out with the right tools, the bolts could easily be removed and so could the top.
The cabin comes with two cloth seats in the front with the Eddie Bauer name stitched into them, and a removable bench seat in the rear. The steering wheel and dash show their age, and all the instruments work except for the digital odometer, so true mileage is unknown. With the recent surge in demand for Broncos of all kinds, this fifth generation Bronco is eagerly waiting to be unleashed back into the wild and take on all terrains that come its way.

1964 Chevrolet Corvair
Lot # 6 (Sale Order: 6 of 110)
1964 Chevrolet Corvair - VIN: 40927W277208 - Offered Without Reserve - Last year of the first gen Corvair | Early rear engine automobile design - 164 Turbo-Air six-cylinder engine, 110 HP, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase: 108â€
Introduced in 1960, the Corvair was manufactured by Chevrolet for nine years and had two different generations in its lifetime. It had styling cues from both the beloved Bel Air and Corvette and featured a completely new engine design and set up. The air-cooled engine was placed in the rear, a concept that was only dreamed of for production cars. The new compact car wasn’t perfect, but it was the first of many new features and first and only production Chevrolet to feature a rear-engine design until the all-new 2020 C8 Corvette came around.
This first-generation Chevrolet Corvair is presented in a deep black exterior with its original chrome wheels and trim pieces. The exterior has been recently detailed in preparation of this auction, but the paint does still show minor flaws throughout. The original chrome wheels and trim work presents nicely and shines brightly while under light and in the sun.
The interior has been kept in very nice condition, especially considering its age. The black leather bucket seats and bench seating in the rear show few tears in the leather and are all properly stuffed making them comfortable for driving and riding. The black carpet and dash are also in good condition, and all the instruments are in working order. The Corvairs were known for being unique in their build and features, one of those being the transmission shifter, which is an “up†or “down†click knob that is placed on the right side of the dashboard.
The 164 Turbo-Air six-cylinder engine can be found in the rear trunk, another unique part of the build that set the Corvair apart from almost everything else on the American market in the ‘60s and to this day. The car currently does not run, though the consignor notes they have not done normal maintenance of fluid changes and switching the spark plugs and battery to see if it starts it. The Chevrolet Corvair might have been a blend of the Corvette and Bel Air, but it is a completely unique car all in itself. Coming from a famous collector, this Corvair is ready to be taken into its new home and brought back to life to hit the open road once again.

1968 Ford F-250 Custom Cab
Lot # 7 (Sale Order: 7 of 110)
1968 Ford F-250 Custom Cab - VIN: F25YPD12189 - Offered Without Reserve - Iconic American pickup truck series | Custom Cab edition | “Fit Em All†cab cover | Equipped with Ford’s second largest petrol engine for model year - 360 cid, 5.9-liter FE V-8 engine, 215 HP, manual transmission, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase: 131â€
Since its debut in 1948, the Ford F-Series has been a stable of the American culture. Originally known as the “Ford Bonus Builtâ€, it was the first post-World War II pickup truck available to the public. It quickly gained the status and trust of the American people as being one of the most reliable work and causal pickup trucks on the market, a status that can still be seen in the Ford F-Series pickups being produced today. The pickup being offered here streams from the fifth generation of the F-Series. Introduced in 1966 for the 1967 model year, the cab was extended by three inches, and the grille, exterior trim, and engine choices were all changed. For the 1968 model year, Ford had no plans of changing anything, but because of new federal regulations, slight changes came about to the body. By law, auto manufacturers had to install side markers or lights on the sides of their vehicles. So, Ford created new emblems that incorporated reflectors and stuck them on the sides of the hood and the rear of the bed. This F-250 comes fitted with a 360-cubic-inch 5.9-liter FE V-8 engine, which was Ford’s second largest petrol engine that was available to the U.S. market. 1968 was also the first year that the F-Series came with factory installed air-conditioning.
The exterior is as one would expect in a ‘60s truck that was used to haul and load things, though a good detailing would help bring it back to life. It comes with a custom “Fit Em All†cab cover that came from RBM Enterprises out of Siren, Wisconsin. The interior holds a bench seat that matches the color scheme of the outside and also has a dial-knob radio in the middle dashboard. Lately, the market has been steadily rising for later generation F-Series pickup trucks like this one. Already equipped with one of the most powerful engines one could get for the model year, this F-250 would make a nice potentially appreciating asset to add to one’s garage or barn.

Honda Pininfarina-Designed City Cabriolet
Lot # 8 (Sale Order: 8 of 110)
Honda Pininfarina-Designed City Cabriolet - Offered Without Reserve - Body by Pininfarina, one of the great body designers | Rare right-hand drive JDM import | Attractive interior | Limited production run with five-speed manual transmission - Carbureted 1.2-litre “Combax” CVCC II inline four engine, 60 HP, front-wheel drive, five-speed manual transmission; wheelbase: 87.4”
Designed by world renowned Pininfarina, the Honda City Cabriolet was introduced in 1984 as a drop-top cabriolet and was the first of its kind built and sold in Japan. Exclusively built for Japan, the Cabriolet was a right-hand drive car that came equipped with an automatic, or rare five-speed manual, transmission. Though its styling is nothing that will keep you captivated, the coach builder is one to be amazed by. Pininfarina is an Italian car designer and coachbuilder that is best known for its partnership with Ferrari. Pininfarina has been responsible for beautiful bodies and coachbuilding for Ferrari since 1951, and many Alfa Romeos, Lancias, and Maseratis. Known to take on projects that are quite different than the normal cars it does, Pininfarina teamed up with Honda and designed and built the bodies for these microscopic City Cabriolets. A rare and odd task for one of the greatest coachbuilders the world has seen, but one that adds rarity to this vehicle.
This three-year-production-run Cabriolet offered here is highly uncommon. The exterior has seen better days, as the clearcoat is peeling and the paint itself looks like it has been baked in the sun. However, the interior, featuring its right-hand drive seat, is in excellent condition, appearing to have only seen light use. The odometer reads 93,675 miles, though true miles cannot be confirmed, and features a carbureted 1.2-litre “Combax” CVCC II inline four that produces 60 horsepower to the front wheels. Many of these Hondas came with an automatic transmission but this one comes factory equipped with a five-speed manual transmission.
While the Pininfarina-designed City Cabriolets were exclusively for Japan, the few that did get imported to the United States were mainly sent to the West Coast, making them hard to find in the Midwest. While it is certainly no Ferrari, the fact that Pininfarina designed the bodies adds a distinction that says they were designed by one of the greatest coachbuilders the world has seen; a seldom seen and enticing opportunity to acquire a JDM vehicle.

1989 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Convertible Pickup
Lot # 9 (Sale Order: 9 of 110)
1989 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Convertible Pickup - VIN: 1B7GG69X6KS202359 - Offered Without Reserve - Rare, as 1 of just 2,842 built in 1989 | Limited three-year production run | Equipped with 4x4 capabilities | Fun drop-top off-road vehicle - 3.9-liter V-6 engine, 125 HP, automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, rear anti-lock brakes
Offered from 1989 to 1991, Dodge introduced its new Dodge Dakota 4x4 convertible pickup, a vehicle the public hadn’t really seen anything like since the Ford Model T Runabout. Dodge would ship their already finished Dakotas to be modified by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) in California and have them remove the metal roof and then carefully apply vinyl folding tops to them, as well as a padded roll bar for extra safety measures. Dodge proudly advertised it as, “The first true mid-size pickup ever is now a one-of-a-kind convertible as well,†and that, “Open air seating is now available.†As much as they thought it is what the public wanted, sales showed otherwise, as only 2,842 were ordered, mainly due to the fact many felt as though hauling a load in the bed of a truck with nothing in-between them was unsafe and not very practical. All Dakota convertible pickups came fitted with a 3.9-liter V-6 engine that pushed out 125 horsepower, automatic column shift, and a factory option to equip four-wheel drive, like the one being offered here.
Coming in one of three different colors offered, this rare white convertible is in good condition only showing minor scratches throughout the 31-year-old paint. Known to be less than great straight from the factory, the black convertible top shows some signs of wear, but does go up and down with ease. The chrome rims still shine nicely, and the Goodyear Wrangler tires are in decent shape, but will most likely need replaced sometime soon. Inside houses the well-kept red velour cloth seating and interior. The instruments on the dash are in well-working order and the odometer shows just 74,944 miles on it, though true miles cannot be confirmed. The middle console houses an infinity AM/FM radio and a climate control center. Rare, considering its low production, the Dodge Dakota Convertible Pickup might not have been the ideal truck at the time of its release, but today it presents as a great opportunity for a fun weekend cruiser in the sun or an off-roading vehicle due to its 4x4 capabilities.

Vintage "Little Swede" Sprint Car - SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY - Offered Without Reserve - Nicknamed the “Little Swede” | Good sprint car to get into racing | Ample powerplant - Sprint car racing has grown to be one of the more entertaining race forms across the country, mainly due to the fact that any small town can build and set up a course. What beats watching small, extremely aggressive, ultralight, overly powered cars push themselves to the absolute limit? Not much. The origins of sprint car racing can be traced back to before WWI, when fearless drivers raced on a dirt track not to far from where this example is being auctioned, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. It really took off in 1978 when the World of Outlaws Series was created and winged, and non-winged sprint car series began to pop up all over the country.
For anyone looking to get into the sport, this Vintage Sprint Car is a great opportunity for that. Though we have not tried starting it, nor has it been run on a track in quite some time, it is equipped with all the things one would need to start racing. It comes with four Hoosier Racing brand tires, Pro Shock shocks, full roll bar and cage, a Kirkey containment racing seat, and what is believed to be a V-8 engine. The Sprint Car is nicknamed the “Little Swede” and features the number 38 proudly displayed on the side.

1984 Chevrolet El Camino
Lot # 11 (Sale Order: 11 of 110)
1984 Chevrolet El Camino - VIN: 1GCCW80H9ER177519 - Offered Without Reserve - Straight and true body with new paint | Rippling LS2 “Camino†engine | Six-speed manual transmission - LS2 V-8 engine, six-speed manual transmission, disc brakes; wheelbase: 117â€
In response to the success of the Ford Ranchero, Chevrolet introduced the El Camino in the model year of 1959. Unlike a normal pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from a standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and the Biscayne’s body styling and had a cab and cargo bed integrated into it. The first production run only lasted for two years, but Chevrolet resumed production in 1964 to 1977 and continued in 1978 through 1987 model years, but this time based on a GM body platform.
Denny Kannenberg purchased this El Camino in July of 2002; shortly after, he began stripping it down and bringing it back to its former glory and then some. The body is straight and true, which can be attributed to Denny applying his craftsmanship to the exterior. Once the bodywork was completed, the exterior was painted in a crisp and clean Artic White and the Chevy rims wrapped in General Altimax HP tires were cleaned up.
Under the hood lies the heart of this devilish Camino; a rippling LS2 V-8 “Camino†engine was fitted in the bay and is backed by a six-speed manual transmission. This unique ‘80s muscle car was already a thrill to drive and equipping a six-speed manual transmission only adds to it. There also appears to be multiple speed parts under the hood that are all linked to the engine. The interior features its original maroon bucket seats, carpet, and upholstered panels, which all still present nicely. A new and sleek Dakota Digital instrument panel was fitted in the dash, giving this ‘84 a more modern look and feel within the cabin. The six-speed manual transmission shifter can be found in the middle console with a black and red stitched leather boot cover surrounding it.
Unique in itself for being one of the few muscle car/trucks of the ‘80s, this well-restored El Camino with its rippling LS2 engine is ready to draw eyes at the local car show or to simply be taken out on a high-speed summer drive.

1967 Dodge Cornet 440 Wagon
Lot # 12 (Sale Order: 12 of 110)
1967 Dodge Cornet 440 Wagon - VIN: WH45F75136167 - Offered Without Reserve - Sinister black styling | Stack of receipts and parts list of work completed | Excellent black leather bench seating - 318 cid, 5.2-liter, V-8 engine, three-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase: 117â€
The Dodge Cornet was first sold to the public in 1949 after World War II and was introduced as a full-size car that carried the highest trim level in the Dodge lineup. It was a key staple in the lineup but was eventually downsized to a 117-inch wheelbase to be placed with the rest of Chrysler Corporations B-Bodies. B-Bodies were what the Chrysler Corporation named their midsize rear-wheel drive cars that were produced from 1962 to 1979. The next generation of Cornets became available in 1965 and were offered in just about every type of model one could want, a wagon, convertible, coupe, and everything from a small six-cylinder to a massive 426 cubic-inch Hemi V-8; the combinations were endless. The Wagon version was only offered for five years as it was discontinued in 1970, leaving it with a low five-year production run.
This fifth generation Dodge Cornet features a deep black finish with red and chrome striping on the rocker panels and tinted glass all that way around that combine to give it a sinister stance. The body is straight, but the paint could use touch up particularly near the front of the hood. All the chrome work shines brightly, and it sits on newer tires with lots of tread left on them.
Overall, the inside features a nice and clean black interior and the black leather bench seats in the front and rear are in excellent condition. An AMPS triple cluster gauge that measures the water temp, oil pressure, and battery life has been attached to the middle dashboard underneath the aftermarket Pioneer radio system. Adding to this sinister hearse-like build is the 318-cubic-inch V-8 engine that is linked to a three-speed automatic transmission.
Coming along with the sale of this automobile is a file folder containing receipts and a parts list of the work that has been done to this Cornet. With the exterior and interior in good condition, this sinister Dodge Cornet would make for a great and unique addition to local car shows.

1985 Chevrolet S-10 V-8 Blazer
Lot # 13 (Sale Order: 13 of 110)
1985 Chevrolet S-10 V-8 Blazer - VIN: 1G8CS1884F0214513 - Offered Without Reserve - Excellent condition | Recent surge in demand due to the new 2020 Blazer | Performance compact SUV with V-8 engine - V-8 engine, automatic transmission, two-wheel drive; wheelbase: 100.5â€
In the early 1980s General Motors decided to roll out a new fleet of mid-sized vehicles that consisted of pickups and small compact SUVs, the S-10 Blazer, GMC S-15 Jimmy, and the S-10 pickup truck. All the models were distinct in their own ways, but all were made to compete against the growing-in-popularity Ford Rangers, Broncos and Jeeps. The S-10 had already been one of Chevrolets top trucks, but this time around in 1983 they offered it as a Blazer, which was essentially the same thing, just with a nonremovable top that also had bench seating in the rear as well. Even though the two-door Blazer would be discontinued in 2004, it was able to separate itself enough from the Jeep and Bronco to make for good sales. The S-10 was small enough and light enough to be decently modified; many bought them and dropped powerful V-8 engines and performance parts into them, something the Jeeps and other compact SUVs were not very capable of doing yet.
The 1985 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer being offered here is in excellent condition for its age. It has been given a respray in an eye-catching bright yellow, and all the chrome work on the outside has been treated and brought back to its original bright shine. It sits on chrome stock rims that are wrapped in Radial G/T Grand AM tires that show lots of tread left on them. The combination of its raised hood and lowered body gives it an aggressive appearance. Just like the exterior, the interior is in favorable condition, showing very little signs of use. The front has two bucket seats with a B&M automatic Star Shifter in-between. A large performance RPM gauge is mounted on the steering column and a triple cluster gauge set has been mounted in the radio.
For the performance side of things, a small block V-8 engine was dropped under the hood with multiple performance parts surrounding it, like an Edelbrock Pro-Flo chrome air cleaner and Accel HEI Super coil. In today’s world it has become very difficult to find a nice S-10 Blazer from this era, as basically none remain in even decent shape. They have become “cool†once again as the SUV trend is still going strong. With the recent event of the new 2020 Blazer making a comeback, all the classic S-10 Blazers have become highly sought-after.

1959 Ford Thunderbird
Lot # 14 (Sale Order: 14 of 110)
1959 Ford Thunderbird - VIN: H9YH115324 - Offered Without Reserve - One of Ford’s first personal luxury automobiles | Known as the square bird Ford | V-8 engine rated at 300 horsepower - 352 cid V-8 engine, 300 HP, three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission; wheelbase: 113â€
Introduced at the famous Detroit Auto Show in February of 1954, the Ford Thunderbird made headlines as being a two-seat sports car that would be a direct competitor of Chevrolet’s Corvette. Selling extremely well in its debut year, the public fell in love with its comfort and class, as well as its 225-horsepower V-8 engine. The first-generation T-bird lasted till 1957, when Ford decided to restyle and revamp it completely. Even though it was a major success in its introduction years, Ford executives thought sales would be limited by its two-seat configuration, so the second-generation Thunderbird was designed as a four-seater, a bold move at the time. Known as the square bird Ford, the body featured stylish fishtail wings in the rear and four circle taillights that captured what the late ‘50s and early ‘60s styling was all about. The new generation would go on to sell over 200,000 units in just three years, four times the amount of what the two-seat model did. The newfound success opened up a new market segment for Ford, personal luxury cars. It also went on to win Ford’s first individual model line MotorTrend “Car of the Year†award.
Assembled at the Ford factory in Wixom, Michigan, this 1959 Colonial White Thunderbird holds a special place in Denny Kannenberg’s heart, as it was a wedding anniversary gift to him and his wife from his son-in-law and daughter. Though true mileage cannot be confirmed, the odometer shows just under 30,000 miles, which could be accurate due to its originality, but cannot be confirmed, straight and true body, and well-preserved interior. It comes equipped with its original 352-cubic-inch V-8 engine that is linked to a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. This Ford Thunderbird is a true American classic that can easily be appreciated by all generations that might admire it.

1972 Honda N600 Sedan
Lot # 15 (Sale Order: 15 of 110)
1972 Honda N600 Sedan - SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY - VIN: FA1001733 - Offered Without Reserve - First car Honda imported into the United States | Believed to be a complete car | Few remaining N600s in the United States - 36 cid air-cooled two-cylinder 600cc engine, 32 HP, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase: 78.7”
Best known in the automotive world for their micro cars and early motorcycles, Japan has long been a leader at producing small, fuel-efficient cars. Their fascination with small cars began in the postwar era when their economy was at an all-time low. Many of the Japanese people could afford a motorcycle, but not nearly enough were able to purchase a car. Japan introduced new regulations in 1955, around the same time saying cars had to be a certain dimension and could not be more than four passengers. The regulations lasted till 1975, during which many different companies took on the challenge of building micro cars, including Honda, which came up with the N600 Sedan. The N600 was launched in 1967 and was similar to Alec Issigonis original mini and featured an air-cooled two-cylinder 600cc engine. With the help of some tax incentives for those who bought a car, the N600 dominated the micro car market in Japan and Honda knew it was time to expand. The Honda name had been in America since 1959 but was really only known for their reliable motorcycles which were sold by the “You meet the nicest people on a Honda,” ad campaign. The Honda N600 was first imported to the United States in 1970, becoming the first production Honda car to be imported to the United States, it was eventually switched out by the historic Honda Civic in 1973, and the rest is history.
With few N600s remaining or coming up for sale in United States, almost all the Honda N600s that do surface are considered a rare sighting, no matter what shape they are in. This 1972 Honda is far from perfect condition, though the body is solid and shows no visible spots where rust has gone all the way through. The car seems to be complete with all the right parts still attached to it, even the original 10-inch tires, which are the same ones the mini used. It comes with its original air-cooled two-cylinder 600cc engine, which when new produced 32 horsepower. The cabin comes with two seats in the front and a two-person bench seat in the rear. Even though this Honda has seen better days, it is still one of the more significant vehicles in history when it comes to early importation of automobiles.

1964 Ford Thunderbird
Lot # 16 (Sale Order: 16 of 110)
1964 Ford Thunderbird - VIN: 4Y83Z140536 - Offered Without Reserve - First year of the fourth generation Thunderbird | V-8 engine with Cruise-O-Matic three-speed transmission | Nice luxury car of the ‘60s - 390 cid V-8 engine, 300 HP, three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase: 113.2â€
The first Thunderbird went on sale in October of 1954, and within 10 days, 3,500 orders had already been placed. It was reported that Ford was only expecting to make a total of 10,000, but by the end of the year they had sold 16,155, crowning the Thunderbird an American classic in just its first year of production. It not only was incredibly powerful for its day, but it also had a significant amount of style and looks to it. Fast forward ten years from its historic debut and the fourth generation Thunderbird was unveiled and was completely restyled. The entire car market was starting to see a change in public demand, so Ford decided the new Thunderbird was to be restyled as more of a large squared-off personal luxury vehicle, rather than a sports car. It still came equipped with a 300 horsepower V-8 engine but, because the car was larger and heavier, it did not have the same type of performance as the first-generation Thunderbirds. Even with the daring switch from sports car to luxury, Ford still sold 92,465 units, which was up nearly 50 percent compared to the previous year. The switch proved to be fruitful, and that Ford was right in keeping up with the market.
Offered today from The Kannenberg Collection comes this luxurious 1964 Ford Thunderbird that features its factory white paint and proudly displays the word ‘Thunderbird’ in chrome letters on the front hood, which was a one-year-only feature in its modeling period. The long, stylish squared body is in great condition, only showing the normal scratches in the paint. The inside seems original, while the carpet seems to be in good condition, the light blue vinyl seating has a few rips in it and a slight disfiguration.
Another feature that added to the luxurious style and feel of the Thunderbird was its unique dashboard and its four-in-a-row gauge cluster. On record as being one of the best-selling Thunderbirds ever, this 1960s luxury car would make for a great addition to any collection.

Once you open up the doors to the cabin, you will find extremely clean and well-preserved ivory leather seats, carpet, and burled walnut trim with side airbags.

Produced by Ford from 1968 to 1976, the Torino was initially an upscale version of the Ford Fairlane. The Fairlane name was soon discontinued in 1970 and all vehicles were turned into Torinos. This caused Ford to offer the Torino in many different models, most popular being the four-door sedans and two-door hardtops. Lasting for three generations, the third generation would begin in 1972. The new Torino was redesigned mainly using characteristics from previous generations and really emphasized the longer hoods, with a short deck. The new generation starting in 1972 also saw a new lineup consisting of a Torino, Gran Torino, and Gran Torino Sport. But, by the final year of production, the Gran Torino Sport was discontinued leaving the Torino and Gran Torino to be the only models offered. No styling changes were made to the 1976 model, but new options were available like a power trunk release, automatic parking brake release, and bucket seats. The Torino might not have had the longest production run, but it did leave a lasting impression on many.
Coming from the last year of production is this 1976 Ford Torino, which features a tan exterior finish with a rear white top. The body seems to be in good shape, showing some flaws. This example is still equipped with the stock rims and Firestone Fire Hawk SS20 tires can be seen in all four corners. The interior houses well-kept brown leather bench seating both in the front and rear. The carpet and door panels are also both in good condition. Under the hood is a 351 cubic-inch 5.8-liter V-8 engine, which was Ford’s middle of the pack option for the Torino. With a little extra care and love, this Ford Torino would make for a great project to bring back to being roadworthy once again.

1968 Plymouth Barracuda
Lot # 19 (Sale Order: 19 of 110)
1968 Plymouth Barracuda - VIN: BH23F8B239722 - Offered Without Reserve - Perfect contender for a muscle car project | Accompanied by an array of extra parts | Iconic muscle car of the late ‘60s - Manufactured from 1964 to 1974, Plymouth unleashed their first-generation Barracuda upon the muscle car market and made quite the statement. The two-door hardtop fastback shared many parts and styling cues from the Plymouth Valiant but featured a massive and very recognizable wraparound rear glass back window. Even with the success of the all-new rear-wheel drive muscle car, the second-generation Barracuda was heavily redesigned and built from 1967 to 1969. For the 1968 year, Plymouth wanted to up the ante of the muscle car craze and introduced the legendary Road Runner, and the two would prove to be a dynamic duo in the muscle car market. The second-generation Barracuda might have only lasted for three years, but its memorable and iconic run blazed the way for the rise of the third gen Barracudas of the 1970s, which are regarded as some of the most sought-after muscle cars.
While this example does not currently run, it is certainly close to it and proves to be a prime contender and start of what could be an amazing muscle car project. The bodywork on the car has already been stripped, primed, and painted a classic muscle car blue, and it sits on U.S. chrome rims and like-new Grand Prix Performance GT tires. The car is missing the front and rear windshield, but the doors have their roll-up glass windows in them. Under the hood is where this build gets really interesting and will help bring in a crowd from more than just its aggressive looks. An impressive V-8 engine with a large Edelbrock air cleaner and chrome Mopar valve covers were fitted under the hood. Clean and presented nicely, it also has a Champion Cooling radiator and fan attached to the engine.
The interior is about halfway complete, with front and passenger bucket seats and a rear bench seat. The dashboard seems to be complete with its original AM/FM radio and air-conditioning system. The back seat and trunk of the car are filled with many of the parts that are not currently fitted to the car, as well as some extra parts for the car. Perfect contender for a muscle car project to make roadworthy once again, this early production Plymouth Barracuda can be a fun car to enjoy.

1992 Ford Mustang Convertible
Lot # 20 (Sale Order: 20 of 110)
1992 Ford Mustang Convertible - VIN: 1FACP44E9NF152889 - Offered Without Reserve - Addendum: SOLD ON SALVAGE TITLE
Rust-free example | Sold on a salvage title | 5.0-liter V-8 engine; Ford’s “luxury†LX model - 5.0-liter V-8 engine, 225 HP, four-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, power rack and pinion steering, coil-spring four-bar link rear suspension, power front and rear brakes; wheelbase: 100.5â€
Most commonly known as the “Fox bodyâ€, the third-generation Mustang was produced from 1978 to 1993, during which the public was taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride with all its different looks and mechanical changes. During this time, the Ford Mustang was already a controversial topic, so executives thought what better time than now to start to offer economical or reasonably priced powerful options on the Fox body platform. The decision would almost lead to the fall of one of America’s favorite muscle cars, the dominant looks were no more, and the lackluster performance did not help either. It wasn’t until 1987 when Ford redesigned the Fox body and started to get its American dream car status back. The front end was completely restyled to give it more of an SVO and aerodynamic look, and the rear got a new updated bumper, as well as new taillights. During this time the LX model, which was supposed to be Mustang’s luxury model, was given the most styling updates. The LX got color-keyed moldings all the way around the car, which enhanced its overall appearance.
1992 saw a total of 23,470 two-door LX/GT convertible Mustangs produced, but it also saw the lowest sales numbers of recent years, meaning many were never sold and eventually destroyed or lost. Coming from the 1992 model year is this LX Ford Mustang Convertible. This example shows 60,000 miles on it, though true miles can not be confirmed, and still presents very nicely in its original appearing K3 Bimini Blue paint and power-assisted white convertible top. The mustang sits upon its original 16†five-spoke ‘star’ alloy rims and like new BF Goodrich tires, which only came equipped on the V-8 models.
The white leather seats show its age with creasing and slight fading in the color throughout but are still in good condition considering their age. The middle dash houses an AM/FM radio, air-conditioning and heating unit, as well as a cassette player. Under the hood lies the clean and running 5.0-liter V-8 engine that sends the power to the rear via a four-speed automatic transmission. Please note that this car is sold on a salvage title. The 5.0 Fox body Mustangs have long awaited their time to be the next collectible muscle car, and many believe that time is right around the corner. Showing low miles, there is no better time than now to purchase a fun fox-bodied Mustang.

1937 Packard 120 Custom Sedan
Lot # 22 (Sale Order: 22 of 110)
1937 Packard 120 Custom Sedan - VIN: 108221799 - Offered Without Reserve - Packard styling with modern day performance | Updated gauges and radio system | Reliable 1930’s era car ready for roadtrips - Since they first formed their roots in 1899, Packard has been known for their elegant design and carefully crafted bodies, gaining a worldwide reputation of being a premier luxury car brand. Owning a Packard was a prestigious title to have; many celebrities, business owners, European royalty, and even former President Franklin Roosevelt owned them. Looking to expand their customer base from more than just the rich and famous, Packard introduced its first car under $1,000, the 120, which is what is being offered here. To do this, Packard built an entirely separate factory for its “Junior†models, which caused sales to more than triple that year and double again the following year. The 120 models were built by using modern mass production techniques and featured more up-to-date modern features like independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes, features that would not appear on the Senior Packards until the 1937 model year. Packard would outlast the Great Depression and all that came with it, but they would eventually fall after building their last Detroit-built concept car in 1956, the Packard Predictor.
For the Packard being offered here, it boasts the classic design on the outside that one would expect from the company, but secretly packs a punch under the hood. A big bore Chrysler V-8 engine was equipped to give this luxury-built car some serious speed. To accommodate the added speed, a new automatic transmission and beefy Radial Grand AM tires were added. The outside is painted in a dark blue that shines evenly throughout the body. The long, bold, and intimidating grille leads the way with two headlights and fog lights mounted around it.
Red leather upholstery has been placed throughout the cabin, matching the red leather front and rear seats. The transmission has been moved to the floor and placed in, what is believed to be, an old Thunderbird middle console. The dashboard now features up-to-date gauges and a modern Kenwood radio system. This 1937 Packard Custom is the ideal car for anyone looking to purchase a stylish 1930s automobile with modern mechanicals and features.

1963 Pontiac Grand Prix
Lot # 23 (Sale Order: 23 of 110)
1963 Pontiac Grand Prix - VIN: 963105421 - Offered Without Reserve - Rare and very original car | Factory 8-lug wheels | Part of The Kannenberg Collection since the ‘70s - 389 cid V-8 engine, 303 HP, three-speed Roto Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes; wheelbase: 120â€
Appearing in Pontiac’s lineup of cars in 1962, the Grand Prix was essentially a standard version of the Pontiac Catalina with less exterior chrome trim, but a sportier interior that was built as both a personal luxury car and as a high-performance car aimed at the youth. Much of the development and performance of the Grand Prix streamed from the Head of Engineering at Pontiac, John DeLorean, leaving the car with the desirable performance capabilities that was needed for the youth market. Though it had strong sales in its first year, the Grand Prix was still comprehensively redesigned in 1963, following suit to the other cars in Pontiac’s lineup. The front received new stacked headlights, a Grand Prix-specific grille, and all-new grille-mounted turn signals. The roofline became more squared off, and the body sides were stripped of their moldings and brightwork only existed on the door handles, wheel openings and alongside the rocker panel.
Known history begins in the 1970s when Denny Kannenberg found this 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix in a Hemmings Magazine ad. It was located in Alabama, so he and his wife went down and bought it, then drove it back home to Minnesota. Denny notes that he beleives the car is still in all-original condition. The car is presented in its original and iconic Nocturne Blue with factory 8-lug wheels and a 389 V-8 engine that is linked to a three-speed Roto Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The navy-blue interior presents nicely, and the large factory equipped tachometer is still attached right above the middle console. This original car is a great opportunity to own one of Pontiac’s key full-sized performance cars in one of their more iconic colors.

1990 Chevrolet 454 Pickup Truck
Lot # 24 (Sale Order: 24 of 110)
1990 Chevrolet 454 Pickup Truck - VIN: 1GCDC14N4LZ175405 - Offered Without Reserve - Addendum: PLEASE NOTE: The mileage reads 147,820 miles.
Onyx Black over Garnet Red leather | One of the first factory performance pickup trucks | Appreciating collector performance truck - 454 cid, 7.4-liter, V-8 engine, 230 HP, 385 lbs-ft of torque, three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, Bilstein shocks, rear anti-lock brakes, rear-wheel drive
The 1990s and early 2000s saw a shift in the small pickup truck market, manufacturers were designing and building powerful pickups to keep up with the sports cars of the day. Relatively a new concept, other than outliers like the Lil Red Express of the ‘70s, Detroit didn’t embrace the idea of factory performance trucks till the ‘90s. During this time, we saw heavy hitters like the Ford F-150 Lightning, GMC Syclone and Typhoon come to be, but the truck that started it all was the Chevrolet 454 SS Pickup Truck. The 454 SS was not like anything else, coming factory-equipped with a monstrous big block V-8 fitted to the smallest and lightest pickup platform possible. The limited production run ran from 1990 to 1993, during which roughly 17,000 models were made. The 454 pushed out 230 horsepower and a tire melting 385 Ibs-ft of torque, which might not seem like much, but in comparison, the 1990 Iroc-Z Camaro only produced 15 more horsepower and a measly 345 Ibs-ft of torque. The combination of its beefy engine, lightweight body, and rear-wheel drive quickly crowned it the burnout king, and the loads of low-end torque helped propel it down the track for a 0 to 60 time in under eight seconds, which was very impressive for a pickup truck in those days. All 1990 models came in a stealthy Onyx Black over Garnet Red leather interior, and proudly wore the big red bow-tie Chevy badge in the front and SS 454 stickers on both sides of the rear bed.
Still equipped with its factory BF Goodrich Excentia GT tires, this ‘90s truck is in very presentable condition. The Onyx Black exterior has recently been detailed in preparation for this auction, as well as the chrome Prime wheels and tires. The exterior also features red brake calipers and factory fog headlights. Within the cabin is the Garnet Red leather seating, that shows slight discoloration in it. While looking down at the dash, one will notice this example has been equipped with a Mini Sun Super Tach2 and the odometer to the left reads just 47,820 miles, though mileage is exempt on the title. Quickly appreciating in value and becoming a fan favorite among the younger generations of collectors, this 454 SS pickup truck is primed to be a favorite at the local car show or drag strip.

1932 Ford High Boy Roadster
Lot # 25 (Sale Order: 25 of 110)
1932 Ford High Boy Roadster - VIN: 1809892 - Offered Without Reserve - Impressive roadster build | 1969 Ford Mustang 302 engine | Ideal car for local shows and drive-ins - 302 cid V-8 engine, Ford C-4 automatic transmission, Ford 9-inch rear end, rear drum brakes; wheelbase: 104â€
When the first “hot rods†were being created even before the start of WWII, the early V-8 Fords were highly sought-after. Not only did they have superb styling, but they also had V-8 engines. This new trend gave rise to “backyard†coach artisans and their skills of chopping tops, channeling bodies, and developing methods to nose and deck the exterior. These backyard builders are what would lead to the garage-based shops seen today that brilliantly transform these automobiles into bona fide customs and street rods.
Streaming from the Hot Rod legacy is this impressive 1932 Ford High Boy Roadster. To start the build, the body was chopped two inches by Harwood of Tyler, Texas and then placed onto a 1932 Ford frame that was sourced from Kiwi Enterprises out of Bakersfield, California. The rear end was made up of a Ford 9-inch rear with 31-spline axles, 325 gears, and big Ford drum brakes. What really sets this build apart is the engine that was used; the side hood louvres were removed to show the engine itself, a high-performance 1969 Ford Mustang 302 V-8 engine - the same engine used in the Boss Mustangs for that year. Many performance parts were added as well, like a 650 CFM Holley carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum heads, Performer polished aluminum intake, Holley electric fuel pump, Ford electric ignition, and an O Too Cool aluminum radiator and fan. The outside is painted a captivating dark blue, while the interior has a custom matching felt that was done by Big Sky Upholstery out of Rapid City, South Dakota. Extra parts on the build include American Racing Wheels, a Billet polished overflow tank, interior Dolphin dash gauges, 16-gallon stainless-steel fuel tank, and a heater by industry leader Vintage Air.
Well taken care of and carefully thought out and put together, this 1932 Ford High Boy Roadster would be the perfect car to take to local car shows and cruising, as they always draw in a crowd from their unique and custom one-of-a-kind features.
