1948 Cadillac Series 61 Coupe Lot #101 (Sale Order 1 of 115) 1948 Cadillac Series 61
There's really nothing like assuming the helm of a late 1940’......s Cadillac, a car from an era where General Motors was at the tip top of their game in terms of both design and performance. Unfortunately, top-notch vintage Cadillacs that are ready to drive are becoming increasingly hard to find. The factory perfect cars are locked in padded garages and only allowed to see daylight during concours level events, and the field dwelling project cars are aging almost as fast as the cost of restoring them is going up. But every once in a while a nice, a car that is not only eye catching in its design, but also represents the epitome of success, like this super cool 1948 Series 61 Cadillac that has pulled into our showroom and stopped everyone dead in their tracks.
* Please Note: NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY*
For consignment, the pinnacle of achievement trophy in the form of a 1948 Cadillac Series 61, albeit in barn find condition. She will need some work to bring her back to perfection, including rust remediation, interior repair and a thorough mechanical once over, but once completed you will have a car that not only draws eyes, but also draws memories of good times past. You HAVE arrived!
Exterior
A color change to black is draping the miles of steel panels on this big piece of Detroit iron. On the body work there are areas of some previous patching that have left the body metal bumpy as well as invasive rust peeking through in various areas that were once repaired. Chips and scratches are all over, as is surface rust in various areas and paint fading on the roof. Heavy use of chrome is everywhere on this body, and appears not to be missing any pieces, but rust has appeared on most surfaces marring the shiny finish. Window trimmings abound and there are some of these trimmings that show dings and dents and the mounted glass has become lightly de-laminated in a few areas. Extra-large bumpers with vertical protectors that have Dagmars mounted to their tips are seen on front, and the rear is sans Dagmars and just the vertical bars. Chrome mirrors on tall stalks have been added to both doors and chrome visors are on each side window. On the back is the beginnings of a bump up fin that protrudes from the rear quarter top, and a taillight occupies this space on the edge of the bump up. The star of the show is the torpedo style fastback roofline where the single curved trunkline meets the roofline and curves gracefully downward, housing a near horizontal curved glass rear window, and rounded trunk. A beautifully rounded rear fender with a skirt has chrome trimming on its leading edge and a large trim spear just above it that runs to the back of the car. Wide white wall tires are on all 4 corners and are dressed with standard Cadillac wheel covers.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we are greeted with a mix of taupe steel uppers and white vinyl lowers at least for the passenger's door, the driver's door has been stripped of its panel exposing the inner workings of the window mechanism. 2 long broadcloth benches, the front having a split back, with tan striped inserts and gray bolsters sit in brown broadcloth covered tubs. Extra wide gray piping is delineating the two patterns. The front bench is soiled, has material tearing, and has suffered from water damage. The rear bench has water damage on the cushions and tearing on the top of the upper cushion, however we have found the missing door panel. Soiled but intact black carpeting floods the floors and would benefit from a good scrubbing. Upfront the full metal jacket dash is finished in taupe and is showing some dulling and wear. A nicer arched speedometer has the steering column protruding from its bottom and a cracked and worn Bakelite wheel sits atop with a bullet styled center hub. A radio is in the center, and a clock in front of the passenger. The chrome on these appliances is fading and slightly pitted. The headliner is tan mohair and shows a little water damage but looks nice and tight.
Drivetrain
Heaving the hood which resembles a Trojan helmet we see the 346ci flathead V8. It is a numbers matching mill and has a single 2-barrel carburetor on top. On the back is a 4-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. Way back is a 3.36 rear axle. All of this appears as original with patina, surface rust and corrosion, but appears visually complete.
Undercarriage
Up on the lift we see a solid frame covered in a heavy coating of surface rust. This surface rust has appeared on nearly every other component down below, and signs of invasive rust are apparent on the flooring in a few areas. While these areas have been repaired with panels from above, they could be done in a more professional manner. The rockers remain solid, but also show signs of repair. Front independent coil spring suspension along with rear leaf springs provide the ride for this cruiser while drum brakes on all 4 corner

1918 Buick E50 Series Sedan Lot #102 (Sale Order 2 of 115) 1918 Buick E50 Series Sedan
Other than the above, there is absolutely no reason this car, through any features, or configurations, was made for a doctor. ... As above, they were reliable. ... Then there is the Cadillac factor. ... Doctors were paid by patients and pulling up in a Cadillac may give them the impression that they have plenty of money, and because of this stigma, they may just not opt to pay. ... SO Doctors bought the Buick, as it was less ostentatious, still had plenty of luxury, and they were more apt to get paid! ... Offered for consignment is this Buick E50 Series sedan right out of 1918. ... Similar to the Cadillac of the era, but without all the ostentatious ...prestige that comes with Cadillac ownership, this car comes to us out of long term static display storage, but has been previously restored and is ready to have some new life breathed back into it.
Exterior
First and foremost, this tall and thin car is wearing an older ...restoration. ... It has aged well and appears to need just a simple buffing and waxing to bring it back up to snuff. ... Beautiful olive green dancing in between black above and below is giving a taller look to this already tall car. ... Starting from the roof down, classy and classic black drenches the roof and all of its support pillars before coming to an abrupt halt at the upper body beltline embossment. ... From here the olive green takes over, encompassing the second body bump out and dripping downward to the lowers of the body. ... This ...green also graces the long contoured dual cowled hood that is complete with side cooling louvers before ending at the blacked out capless radiator surround. ... A Buick badge in blue leads the way on the surround and black trimmed headlights hang off the sides, connected by a black tiebar. ... No front bumper, just straw colored framing and suspension ...that are exposed for all the world to see. ... Black fenders are connected by a running boards that run along each side of the car and sandwich the green nicely. ...4 doors with tarnished ring style handles and a wrap-around rear tub along make up the body of this 7-window car. ... Four 34-inch wooden spoked wheels along with a single spare mounted to the back are seen on this car. with all wrapped in 34x4.5 wide whites. ...
Interior
Yards of textured check pattern broadcloth in a tan color way cover the front bucket seats, as well as the rear bench seat. ... The buckets sit within tan tubs and show with various tears of the upholstery, exposing what may be the original material and padding underneath. ... A sprawling rear bench, in the same material and color races between the mohair clad sides and while this seat has no tearing but there is substantial staining. ... Small folding "jump seats" appear from the back of the buckets and could ...double as a footrest if one chooses not to use the floor mounted board rest. ... Faded, tattered and soiled tan textured carpet floats this interior and the long armed shifter and parking brake handle rise from the center, just in front of the dash. ... More tan ...textured cloth adorns the door panels as well and the headliner to boot with all presenting varying degree of soiling and water stains. ... A wood rimmed ...4 spoke steering wheel with spark advance and throttle controls rests atop the long black column and a tilt out windshield ...is noted above the black steel dash. ... Speaking of the dash, it is bedecked with a smattering of factory gauges and push-buttons for the lighting, all showing a properly aged patina.
Drivetrain
A massive inline 241.6 inline 6-cylinder Buick power plant sits under the folding hood. ... This mill is dressed in slightly ...greasy and worn straw yellow paint and is a mechanical ...marvel with exposed pushrods, rockers and valve springs. ... The engine does turn over by hand but we made ...no attempt to start the car or drive it. ... A 1-barrel updraft fuel system is seen, and this engine is overhead valve. The transmission is a 3-speed which needs to be double clutched, as most cars of this size were for the time and a 4.61 geared axle turns the back tires.
Undercarriage
A light coating of surface rust is seen underneath on the untreated components and the wooden floorboards and running boards remain solid though. ... The framing has a nice coating of straw yellow paint and the rest of the undercarriage follows suit with a slight ...but appreciable patina to it. ... Leaf springs give the ride for the front and back and ...mechanical drum brakes are on the rear, which was the standard of the industry in 1918.
A massive car when sitting next to a typical Model T. ... Plenty of interior space and has the potential to be a nice car with some work. ... The Buick sedan for the wealthy who wanted to remain fairly anonymous but enjoyed the finer things in life, now it's your turn....doctor.

1918 Cadillac 57 Series Touring Lot #103 (Sale Order 3 of 115) 1918 Cadillac 57 Series Touring
While not proven to be only one of a few military brass owned Cadillacs, this 1918 Cadillac 57 Series Touring car for consignment is decked out in the correct military royal blue and black color. ...It is fully restored and shows very well in our Hallowed Halls. ... Seating for 7, a V8, leather interior, and a useable convertible top, all from over 105 years ago and looking the part. ... Who knows the wonderful “......rich" history of those 105 years, but it's here for the taking.
Exterior
From the side, this is a very large automobile, we see 125-inches of wheelbase which is rolling on 35-inch wood spoked wheels and 35x5" rubber. ... Royal blue steel is fashioned into 4 doors, a long cowled hood, and a high curved back tub. ... This is framed on either side with curved front and rear fenders which are painted black. ... To add more contrast, a black appointed radiator surround with the gold crest and shield emblem, and black headlight casings house the electrics for the round chrome bezel headlights on either side. ... A large round searchlight hangs off of the driver's side, and has a black rear view mirror on top. ... The front of the car is protected by a round black steel bar with fire extinguisher styled vertical adornments which are actually part of the suspension and leads the way for this car. ... The similar setup is on the back, however this also has dual spare tires attached as roads of the day could be a challenge, and a spare tire change would be nothing unheard of on a short trip. ... All steel is rust free, has some patina, crazing and a few chip offs with minor dents and dings, but considering it is over 105 years old, it's in amazing condition. ... A long black canvas top is stretching from the black framed front windshield to the rear curved tub and presents in excellent condition with easy movements if you want to go topless. ... Solid running boards stretch from fender to fender and allow easy access to the inside seating for 7. ... Small wing glass windows are on either side of the front glass and small driving lights are mounted in the firewall.
Interior
Let’......s climb inside this piece of history, and swinging the doors reveals a padded black leather covered paneled door liner. ... Sitting on wood floors which are solid, we have 2 long overstuffed “......couches”...... if you will in black leather. ... These are padded wide rounded tuck and roll tops and bottoms and show some wear, but it's slight and in the corners of the benches. ... A big wood steering wheel is situated atop a shiny adjustable steel column and is mounted to a black dash which is peppered with various round gauges, levers, and a few large pulls. ... The steering wheel has a large throttle lever in its center and there is a floor shifter and handbrake. ...In back of the front bench are also dual briefcase like boxes which transform into 2 additional jump style seats for the seating for 7. ...The floors for the back passengers offer up carpeting and plenty of space for those jump seat passengers. ... It's nice to see that over 100 years ago government officials were able to live high off the hog and they were doing so at the taxpayer's expense and sparing none of it. ... So nothing has changed in over 105 years!
Drivetrain
Under the cowled hood is also no expense spared with a large 314.5 l-head V8. ... It has a 1-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed manual transmission on the back. The rear axle weighs in at a 4.43 ratio. ... Stock exhaust and plenty of cast pieces and add on for this mechanical wonder.
Undercarriage
The restoration of this car also included the undercarriage which presents with no rust or even road dirt. ... It’......s all black painted stamped and cast steel and is solid as a rock. ... Leaf springs provide the ride, and mechanical drum brakes are on the rear axle only. ... ...
Drive-Ability
Since emerging from long term storage we did verify ...that the engine turns by hand, but no attempt was made to start it.
Plenty of preservation going on here and maybe even a bit of history, but it definitely involved some one of affluence and social status or they worked for the government. ... A piece for the collection, with plenty of historical steel to go with it. ... All in very good condition.

1925 Cadillac V-63 Sedan Lot #104 (Sale Order 4 of 115) 1925 Cadillac V-63 Sedan
The Cadillac V-63 is a large luxury automobile that was introduced in September 1923 by Cadillac as a 1924 model replacing the previous Type 61. It used the GM C platform and was replaced by the Cadillac Series 355 in 1931. The most noticeable update for 1925 was the introduction of two classifications of body style choices. The "Standard" bodies were added for 1925 that offered a five passenger Brougham, two passenger Coupe, four passenger Victoria, a five- and seven passenger Sedan and a seven passenger Imperial limousine. A higher content "Custom" body styles offered a Roadster, Touring Car, Phaeton, five passenger Coupe and Sedan, seven passenger Suburban with the top level seven passenger Imperial limousine, while the mechanicals and chassis were otherwise largely unchanged. Coachwork continued to be offered by Fisher Body who was the primary supplier of all GM products at this time, and Duco automotive lacquer paint, introduced by DuPont was the first quick drying multi-color line of nitrocellulose lacquers made especially for the automotive industry. The introduction of lacquer paint afforded the clients with a choice of 24 matched color choices along with 10 different upholstery patterns.
For consignment, a barn find version of the 1925 V63 Sedan. With its innovative and smooth 8 cylinder engine, mechanical drum brakes, and 21-inch wood spoked wheels, the performance race, although in its infancy, was on between manufacturers. Sporting a very simple but comfortable interior and still showing the luxury that this car came equipped with when new. This definitely will be a project for its new owner, but one that in the end may prove profitable as this example is not an oft seen automobile.
* Please Note: NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY*
Exterior
With its totally square design passenger compartment, this all steel car maintains its exterior integrity with very faded black paint and primer, patina riddled panels and glass. There is evidence of prior repairs and some rust particularly on the lower cabin structure. The boxy design continues through the back of the car with a rear mounted spare tire and platform for a trunk. Dual twin bar simple bumpers frame the spare tire nicely and add a flair along with the triple taillight on the driver's rear fender. Moving to the long dual cowled hood front end, this shows no rust, and has a radiator surround in black topped with a Boyce MotoMeter, and Cadillac crest. Shiny trim is at a minimum, only showing on the round headlight bezels and on the headlight tie bar is a MotoVox horn assembly, otherwise all else is encased in black steel. A 3 bar front bumper caps off the front end and wraps around to undulating fenders with wooden running boards to differentiate the front from the rear. Up top, black vinyl covers the roof and shows cracks, tears and tape cover ups. Black painted Landau bars frame the oval opera windows at the rear of the cabin and add an extra touch of class. Big 21-inch wood spoked wheels are on all 4 corners of this car and will need restored.
Interior
Taking a look at the twin bench seats will give you an idea of the original interior design and use of fabric. Here we see a large panel tuck and roll pattern mohair in a coffee brown looking much like comfortable couches. These stretches from side panel to side panel. These present with some tearing, dirt and moth damage but are usable as is. A very simple curved metal dash has a cluster of gauges in its very center, which have gold bezels, and also contain a few knobs and pulls. A restored wooden steering wheel is fronting the dash and appears to be held together with black tape of sorts. Solid wood makes up the flooring as the carpet has long since been absent from this car. The mohair felt headliner presents in coffee, and in surprisingly good tight shape, and has an interior light mounted in the center.
Drivetrain
Assumed to be original, the Flathead V8 engine with some surface rust is seen under the cowled hood. This specs out as a 314.5ci L-headed V8 with a 1-barrel carburetor to feed it. A 3-speed manual transmission is on back, and the rear axle setup consists of 4.50 gears.
Undercarriage
Looking underneath we note some surface rust on the usual suspects, like suspension and some mechanical steel parts. However, there appear to be no structural problems as seen, rockers and body hangers are solid, as is the frame. Leaf spring suspension is on all 4’......s as are mechanical drum brakes.
Drive-Ability
While the engine does turn over by hand, we did not attempt to start it due to many unknowns. Let's assume a rebuild is in order, sadly, no test drive was completed.
A buttoned-up barn find if you will, no major rust, mostly original steel panel car, with an original interior to go by when you undertake the restoration. This is a blank palette for the potential restorer, as these cars were really colorfu

1940 LaSalle Series 50 Convertible Coupe Lot #105 (Sale Order 5 of 115) 1940 LaSalle Series 50 Convertible Coupe
From a time when the world was different and maybe even better, we give you a 1940 LaSalle Series 50 Convertible Coupe. ... Wearing an older restoration of the engine, drive train, brakes, body and paint, and other extras, our current consignor, although reluctant to see his baby go away, has decided it's ...time for you to snap up the opportunity. ... A good driver that is in need of a little mechanical TLC before being put back into show and tour duties, but otherwise she’......s very nicely done and preserved making this rarely seen model special as well.
Exterior
This design leader in the form of a Series 50 bears Harley Earl's latest "torpedo" look. ... Sealed beams are now melting into the fender the fenders and the body lines are gently rounded and clean. ...The trademark LaSalle grille arguably reached its pinnacle this year: still slimmer than Cadillac's but artfully shaped. ... Like the '39s, this 1940 model wears vertical brightwork in the "catwalk" areas between grille and headlamps, (another Earl idea), but the catwalks are now wider and fully integrated with the fenders. This two door convertible coupe is bathed in what the Lasalle called Corlear Blue Iridescent, which exudes a calming quality, nice and shiny and very nicely preserved. ...An extra accessory bedrail style bumper is now on in addition to the standard fare, and it is all nice but not without tarnish and some rusting. ... From its nearly new white canvas convertible top, to the trunk lid and rear quarters that look like they are going 100mph while standing still…......the lines of this car are just magnificent. ... Red steel wheels with some dish trimmings and moon caps in chrome with red centered badges, I’......m the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B!
Interior
A swing the door and textured vinyl in marbled blue makes up the panels and greets one with a smile. ... Some embossing splits the panels, and nicely polished knobs and handles are on. ... Slipping inside I can place my torso on to the wide split bench in lightly soiled marble blue vinyl coverings for the front and rear seats, and blue bolsters that match the door panels are carrying on throughout. ... A simple but effective dash in contrasting gray houses Art Deco styled instruments, and plenty of vertical chromed ribs for the center. ... A nice banjo style steering wheel in good condition with a bakelite surround in light cream has a badged center, and a horn ring rounding it 3/4 of the way around. ... A heater box and the glovebox hang above a mix of soiled gold carpeting and black rubber matting that floods the floors. ...
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a very clean and rust-free engine showing in 322ci and V8 setup. ... There is a single 2-barrel carburetor by Carter now on top underneath the oil bath air cleaning system. ... On back is the original 3-speed manual transmission, and this pushes power back to a 3.92 rear axle. ... We note the engine has a fresh coating of green paint and appears to be drip and leak free.
Undercarriage
Under this car is a structurally sound X frame with clean floor pans and rockers. ... Some surface rust is showing on the usual suspects, but all appears to be good underneath. ... We see a newer fuel tank, newer brake hoses and a new single exhaust from the muffler back. ... Independent coil springs for the front suspension, and leaf springs for the rear, and drum brakes all around are noted on this structurally sound frame and undercarriage.
Drive-Ability
Not knowing the condition of the fuel in the tank kept us from driving this rolling piece of art. ... However, we can say that with a fresh battery and some starting fluid the engine did come to life and idled nicely.
Wonderful would describe this 1940 example, where Harley Earl was at his finest. ... Great flowing lines, giving this car a moving while standing still pontoon styled look. ... The interior is very nice, and looking original but all buttoned up, and the wide whites with that sexy grille is worth the price of admission.

1908 Oldsmobile Series 20 4 Passenger Touring Sedan Lot #106 (Sale Order 6 of 115) 1908 Oldsmobile Series 20 4 Passenger Touring Sedan
In 1908 Oldmobile joined the newly organized General Motors Company and assumed operations from Ransom E. Olds on Nov 12th 1908. ... At that time GM introduced the Series 20 model, which was essentially a 1908 Buick Model 10 that incorporated a stretched wheelbase and minor interior changes. ...For consignment, quality restoration for this 1909 Oldsmobile Series 20 tourer and this car presents well in maroon red with a black canvas top for accenting. ... In an era when cars were still more like carriages, this car shows as such and is in excellent condition. ... A convertible top gives you the option to drive in bad weather albeit without front doors or side coverings, and acetylene lamps give you light to travel at night, not often done in 1909. ... Our consignment is a real fully restored piece of early motoring history.
Note: While we believe this to be a Series 20 from 1909, the vehicle is titled as a 1908. ... Please research proper titling procedures for your country, state, province, county or local municipality.
Exterior
Beautifully preserved steel painted in snappy maroon red makes up the undulating bodywork of this early automobile. ... An abundance of brass is on from the radiator surround to the lighting, horn, and on back for a tail light. ... The lighting comprises a pair of acetylene brass headlamps, cowl mounted brass oil lamps and a single brass oil fired tail lamp. ... The headlamps are fueled by a carbide generator on the left running board. ... Maroon painted undulating fenders hang off of either side and have a black rubber covered running board to connect them. ...With a cowled hood, walnut firewall and no front door design, the exterior shows nicely curved metal seat surrounds on top of a styled box if you will, ...much like a sleigh or buggy of the day. ... On top is a nice black canvas convertible top which moves up and down with ease. ... On the driver’......s running board is a tank for the acetylene gas to power the lighting on the exterior and a small tool box is on the passenger's running board. ...Beautiful 34-inch wood spoked wheels are painted maroon with some brass hubs and are wrapped in like lightly dry rotted ...34x3 1/2 rubber. ... ...
Interior
Simple but beautiful harkening back to the carriage days, the seats are upholstered in diamond-pattern black buttoned leather. ... They have dual curves for the back supports and padded rounded over seats. ... A large wood rimmed steering wheel with brass spokes reaches for the driver via a polished brass column. ... It fronts a brass trimmed walnut stained wooden dashboard which houses what looks like the control panel for a furnace rather than a car. ... It has brass gauges with white face dials, one of which is an eight-day clock and the other the speedometer. ...A square varnished wood box resides here as well and covers the mechanicals for the brass Remy switch controller. ...In the back, doors swing open for the rear seat passengers who are greeted with smooth black leather door paneling and a brass and wood grab bar attached to the rear of the front seat tub helps with the entrance. ... Industrial square pattern metal flooring is on the front floors and remains very clean with a few pedals to drive this complex machine. ... For the rear seat riders we see lightly faded black carpeting.
Drivetrain
Lifting the cowled hood and we see a cast iron 165ci ...4 cylinder engine capable of 22hp powering this car. ... It shows open valve springs and more brass for the piping. ... A 1-barrel carburetor feeds it fuel and a 3-speed Selective Sliding gear transmission is also on, albeit shifted from nearly outside the driver's seat tub. ... All very nicely restored and looking good.
Undercarriage
Also wonderfully restored presenting in all maroon steel supporting black painted oak wood floor boards. ... Buggy spring suspension are in the rear and up front we see a traditional leaf spring. ... Mechanical drum brakes are noted on the back, but these are for the parking brake only as the foot brake is actually connected to the crankshaft. ... ...
Drive-Ability
While no attempt to start the car was made, we can confirm the engine does turn over by hand and makes compression. ... As with any car out of long term storage, some TLC will be in order.
A natural for Brass Era tours, this is an archetypal Oldsmobile from the company’......s first year after joining GM. ... Compared to the Model T this Olds makes the Lizzy look like a Yugo! ... A nicely restored example, in need of a little TLC, but then is ready to go and show.

1946 Ford Wrecker Lot #107 (Sale Order 7 of 115) 1946 Ford Wrecker
As the saying goes “......accidents will happen”...... and true to this the 1940's were no different than today. The problem was a device was needed to clean these accidents up. Thanks to companies like Manley and Holmes, accident clean up was much safer and much easier than in the past. These booms were outfitted on cars and trucks from nearly every manufacturer including the luxury brands like Cadillac and Packard. Today, those trucks are indispensable emergency vehicles throughout the world.
NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY
An unrestored rare example of a 1946 tow truck from Ford, a barn find if you will. Purchased by our consignor in 2015 with the plans of a full restoration and painting it to match his Shell fuel pumps, oil dispensers, and island lights, however life got in the way and the time just isn't available to bring this truck back to its former glory.
Exterior
Fire up the Wayback Machine Sherman, let's take a trip to the post war worker bee side of automobilia. Sherman, did you fill the tank with fuel, were still in 2022 with the needle on E....you just can’......t find good help these days, but I digress. Welcome to the present with this barn find condition 1946 Ford 1.5 ton wrecker. The 1946 Ford truck line-up was still part of the prewar design but with some cosmetic upgrades to make it more flashy for the returning GI's. A flat faced front end with bulbous fenders house headlights on either side of the white waterfall grille. Surface rust has invaded this grille and its surrounding headlight trim rings and black steel bumper below. A custom push bar has been added to move those wrecks off to the side of the road. Patina has formed in the form of dents, surface rust, fading, some invasive cancer and a healthy growth of moss covering the faded red body and black front fenders. The passenger cab floats atop black steel running boards which have both surface and invasive rust but still remain structurally sound. A boom, believed to be a Manley unit, is on the back where the factory bed would have been installed. This is a heavy-duty unit, has many cables, and contains a winch tower next to the cab, a hand crank, and tow clamps. Also stabilizing jacks (distance bars) to steady the truck if a pull has to take place on an uneven surface, or a side pull for extra blocking. Custom fabricated fenders on the rear cover dual wheels attached underneath and in between is a small storage area with a toolbox mounted to the left side. All associated parts are in rusted but usable condition.
Interior
The interior shows with exterior matching patina in the form of fading and surface rust on the steel door panels and dash. A green/blue vinyl bench seat presents with some rips, and a healthy coating of grease and mold. The original steering wheel in black 4 spoke bakelite form fronts the original dash with the rectangle gauge cluster. Surface rust and fading has taken over the cluster, but the original black background and white numbers are still legible. A floor shifter and handbrake are within the field of black rubber weatherproof flooring which shows with soiling, tears and mold.
Drivetrain
Lifting open the rear hinged hood reveals more patina and surface rust covering the original 239ci V8. This once mighty mill is topped with a 2bbl carburetor and an oil bath style air cleaner assembly. Backing up the mill is a 4-speed manual transmission. A 4.86 geared rear axle finishes out the heavy-duty drivetrain.
Undercarriage
Normal wear and surface rust covers the entire undercarriage. We note invasive rust in the flooring of the cab and rocker panels, but the frame remains solid. Drum brakes are all around and the ride is provided by leaf springs both front and rear.
Drive-Ability
This truck is a non-runner and has been off the road since 1973. Assume a full rebuild will be needed on every system during the restoration. We did note that many of the boom functions are still operational and move freely.
This is definitely a piece of automotive history, and something not seen every day. In barn find condition but all the parts are available, as well as write-ups and videos to guide you through most of the repairs. When finished I guarantee you’......ll be the only one on the block with one like this, and if something happens and a tow is needed, press it into service and charge an arm and a leg because who gets a VINTAGE TOW??!

1989 Jaguar XJS V12 Lot #109 (Sale Order 9 of 115) 1989 Jaguar XJS V12
Originally developed using the platform of the then current William Heynes designed XJ saloon, the XJS was noted for its prominent rear flying buttresses. The early styling was partially by Jaguar's aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer —...... one of the first designers to apply advanced aero principles to cars. Sayer died just before the XJS body styling was frozen for production.
For consignment, a V12 luxury sports coupe which will get you down the road quickly, and growl at you all at the same time. This cool cat is highly optioned, runs quietly, and presents beautifully. If you like leather, burl veneer, and the sound and smoothness of a V12 engine, then you should look into this Jag well into the now affordable range.
Exterior
The flying buttress B pillars are key to this car’......s design as is a sleek body style with thin looks, yet a muscular stance which is often seen on expensive European cars that are capable of high speeds. Within this thin body style are dark blue straight panels and good gaps as well as a set of dual headlamps upfront, bordered on the bottom by an integrated chrome bumper with a black 5 MPH crash bumper inserted and fog lights below. This holds true on the rear of the car too, and the chrome is excellently preserved. Around the corner designed tail/turn signal rear lights frame the rear panel, and trunk rear deck. Chrome faux knock off wire wheels are all around and are wrapped in like new all-season rubber. A few faults are found in the paint, those being some dings, an inconsistent paint application on the driver's lower rear quarter panel and a small spot of chip off that has turned into rust bubbling just above the rocker.
Interior
Bathed in gray leather door panels and front buckets and rear 2 plus 2 seat all present with no tears or major faults, just the fine cracking that comes with age and some wear off of the driver's upper bolster piping. A mixture of burl veneer adds highlight to the door panels, accenting to the mid console, and personality to the original dash where it is very prevalent. The burl on the center console and the shift lever remains nearly showroom new. We also see cruise control, power windows, seat heater controls, and climate controls. Gray carpet floods the floors, and a headliner which shows clean and tight is being held up by the factory wood staves which run from door to door and curve upward with the contour of the roof.
Drivetrain
The original 5.4-liter V12 engine showing slight patina and some corrosion, sits tightly and snugly under the hood. Lucas/Bosch fuel injection feeds the 12 cylinders, and a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission is on back. Handling the horses from under the bonnet is a rear axle weighing in with a 2.88 ratio.
Undercarriage
Underneath we can note some surface rust, but mostly structurally sound metal on the unibody, and floor pans as well as the rockers. Independent suspension is on all 4 corners, and power disc brakes are also all around. We note a new ABS unit as well as a new right front caliper.
Drive-Ability
This car started right up, and we were off to the test track. On our way we made note of the power mirrors not working, the passenger's window being off track, and the radio turned on but read CODE, which our consignor let us know about and that he didn't have the radio code. Overall though it was an impressive car, with rail like handling, great performance on the acceleration and handling front, and all in all very comfortable and a responsive car to drive. Those V12 engines just run soooo smoooothly I am always impressed with them. Especially when they are totally in tune.
A great powerful cat with this V12 XJS, plenty of conveniences and leather and burl. Flying buttress B pillars and thin body design are sure hooks for the Jag aficionados, and this one in good condition still has lots of life left to go outside, find the nearest country road, and play! MEOW!

There is a 5L40E 5-speed automatic transmission on back with a 3.91 limited slip differential working with it. ... For a better exhale, a Magnaflow exhaust is now on and is like new. ... ...
Undercarriage

1948 Diamond T 306 Tanker Lot #113 (Sale Order 11 of 115) 1948 Diamond T 306 Tanker
The Diamond T Motor Car Company was founded in Chicago in 1905 by C. A. Tilt. Reportedly, the company name was created when Tilt’......s shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big “......T”...... (for Tilt) framed by a diamond, which signified high quality. The company's hood emblem on trucks was a sled dog in harness. From its beginnings manufacturing touring cars, the company later became known for its trucks. By 1967, as a subsidiary of White Motor Company, it was merged with Reo Motor Company to become Diamond Reo Trucks, Inc.
For consignment, a restored and mechanically sound 1948 Diamond T 306 truck in tanker format. Once referred to as the "Cadillac of the truck world", this Art Deco inspired hauler is ready, willing and able to haul whatever liquid goods that need to be delivered.
* Please Note: NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY*
Exterior
Drenched in a coating of Shell red, the body with its well minded gaps and straight panels retain all of the original Art Deco charm that Diamond T incorporated into their trucks. Bullet style headlights flank a divided horizontally barred chrome grille with a shiny red bumper below. The big "T" logo sits proudly in its flowing chrome spear leading back to the twin cowled center hinged hood with each side decorated with chrome venting and brass Diamond T plates. Framing the hood are rounded front fenders which flow back into short running boards with ribbed grip lines. A raked back windshield forms the front of the cab giving an almost custom look, but it's exactly the way it left the factory in 1948. On the back we see a fluid tank dressed in full Shell livery. This unit has 3 separate compartments with separate dispensers for different fuels or possibly to haul your homemade Merlot, Sauvignon, Pinot Noir to the local wine tasting. Long yellow wooden tool/storage boxes are running the length of the bed and provide ample room for any necessary hoses and tools. Bringing up the rear is a black steel bumper frame and industrial style round taillights. Red steel 17" wheels with chrome T logo dog dish caps are on the corners with dual tires being on the rear. Breaker Breaker, any smokies ahead? I'm hammer down with a load of high test.
Interior
Extreme utilitarian would best describe the door panels which are gray painted stamped steel with chrome cranks and levers. Moving inside we see a sprawling gray vinyl covered bench seat with a wide tuck and roll pattern stretches from door to door. A slightly cracked 3 spoke black plastic steering wheel sits atop the factory installed gray painted column and fronts the full metal jacket gray painted dash with a central Diamond T logo speedometer being flanked by supporting gauges. Chrome knobs and pulls are throughout the rest of the dash and a heater unit is mounted on the passenger’......s side down low. Of particular note is the flooring, which is covered with bevel cut oak up to the upward skew of the firewall, all buttoned up and easy to use.
Drivetrain
Lifting either side of the narrowing cowled hood reveals a 236ci flathead inline 6 cylinder. Fuel and air is delivered via a 1bbl carburetor positioned underneath the oil bath air cleaner. Attached to the back is a 4-speed manual transmission which sends power back to a 4.62 geared heavy duty rear axle.
Undercarriage
While too big to traverse our lift we did our best belly crawl and worked our way under this hauler. The flooring, rockers, frame and body hangers are all structurally solid. Drum brakes are seen on both ends as are leaf springs for the suspension. A single exhaust system is in charge of removing spent fossils and all is looking ready to haul.
Drive-Ability
With a twist of the key this big truck fell into a smooth idle and off to the test track I went. I really enjoy driving these old trucks and with my partner in crime crack decoder and all-around good guy in tow I wasn't able to make deliveries to my favorite ladies of Morgantown, PA... but I digress... On the patented and well-hidden Classic Auto Mall test track this drove like, well a truck. Acceleration was very good for a truck of this size, the ride was acceptable, and braking was adequate. All told, it handles like a 1948 Diamond T and all functions were operational at the time of my drive. Eastbound and down!
A well-built truck, worthy of the restoration that has befell it. Retaining almost all of its high-class hauler charm from the skilled pens of the Diamond T engineers and the vision of our talented consignor has crafted this into the head turning hauler seen before you. Guaranteed, you'll be the only one in your neighborhood with one and dare to dream, while hauling fuel may require permits, does a mobile wine truck require the same??? Y'all got your ears on good buddy, come back.

1987 Lincoln Town Car Lot #115 (Sale Order 13 of 115) 1987 Lincoln Town Car
If you’......ve been in a large American city like New York or Chicago you may have noticed that the streetscape seems dominated by two types of cars: taxis and big black sedans. Although taxis can be any number of colors, limo service cars seem to be black. Those black sedans are likely to be Lincoln Town Cars. They have become such a fixture for livery and limo services that no one even bothers to call them by their full names anymore. They just say “......I’......ll have a Town Car”....... (Thx to Autopolis)
For consignment, a professionally executed well maintained Town Car from 1987. Square and rectangle design right out of the mod 1980’......s and all straight and true car. She a long luxury car with plenty of amenities, and definitely”...... what a luxury car should be”......

Trimmings are several and run the length of the car at the hood/body seam, on the belt line just below the belt line, and on the rockers. Also, the wheel wells are trimmed as are the windows. A blue canvas top covers the passenger compartment and is slightly faded, but still looks great with the Glacier Blue exterior paint. Speaking of which it shows some scratches, chips and small dents and dings but retains its shine. Finishing off the large trunk deck are vertically oriented taillights on each corner, with a large red strip of lighting running across the back just above a shiny big rear bumper. Spoked wheel covers with a large octagonal nut hub are wrapped by like new thin white side wall radials all around.
Interior
Excessive use of many surfaces abounds on the door panels with molded plastic, fuzzy padded broadcloth, burl wood appliqué... and of course shiny handles and toggles. Even throw in a strip of blue carpeting at the bottom and this is just the doors! Power seats, power windows, power mirrors, and full-on climate controls are just the beginnings of the lap of luxury this car has to offer. A full burl wood dash front houses square gauges and readouts, and square and rectangular panels make up the rest of the controls. Padded blue velour is covering the wide front split bench seats and in back a large plenty of legroom rear bench stretches from side to side. All seats are slightly faded and show some light to medium wear. Blue floor carpeting is good and the headliner also in fuzzy blue broadcloth is tightly adhered to a molded headliner panel.

1940 Chevrolet Special Lot #117 (Sale Order 15 of 115) 1940 Chevrolet Special
True art comes in many forms, whether it be brush to palette then canvas, or sculpting a form from a lump of clay, or starting with a raw log and putting it on the lathe to create a bowl. Art always comes through the doors of Classic Auto Mall in the form of a custom car creation. Not unlike looking at the paintings on the wall at MOMA, the halls here at CAM are draped with years of sculpted metal to gaze upon and see the history of design unfold right before our very eyes.
Using the tools of a chop saw, a grinder, sandpaper and a builder’......s concept, we now have a work of art in the form of a 1940 Chevrolet Special. Looking something like the original, but made better now better, shaved, chopped, and a large blower motor, and some custom add ones from other cars I give you this Orange masterpiece.
Exterior
So, starting upfront we will keep the “......Groucho Marx”...... style mustache grille, shave the bumper, and add some Porsche 911 headlights melted into the rounded fenders, and so begins the look. All steel for this “......juiced”...... looker which minds its gaps well and is all draped in PPG Orange with a hint of gold pearl just to add some depth. A nifty little sidebar is a hardtop which comes off to have some open-air motoring. The rear retains its original shape but utilizes ‘......37 Ford taillights that are masterfully sculpted into the bulbous rear fender and complete the curvaceous line of the car on the back. 16 inch in front and 17 inch on the rear Boyds polished wheels wrapped in low profile radials hide neatly under the fenders courtesy the bagged suspension…......Low rider!
Interior
Swinging the suicides, we see custom molded door panels with tight square stitched broadcloth coverings, neat cranks and handles and some leather accent panels. Slipping inside, our bottoms are glad handed by custom leather two tone seats with light inserts and tan bolsters. The rear bench stays in tune with the buckets and starts a custom orange center console which races forward to the dash. In the center a B&M shifter with a flamed orange ball topper protrudes from the console. Up front is a custom molded dash with white faced AutoMeter gauges and black bezels which have been carefully molded into the metal body matching orange dash. A leather wrapped custom billet style steering wheel with a large chromed column that is adjustable grows from the dash and can be adjusted for any size driver. Broadcloth for the headliner which matches the door panels, and pristine tan carpet floods the floors.
Drivetrain
A consigner stated 355ci V8 with dual 4-barrel Edelbrock carbs, and aftermarket aluminum heads sits within an amazing simple engine bay that shows no hoses! This engine is sporting a blower, and all is gleaming and bright within the orange engine bay. On back is a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, and at the rear is a Ford 9-inch 3.73 positraction axle.
Undercarriage
Plenty of customization under here, with super strong frame, body hangers, floor pans and a fabricated fuel cell. This is all painted orange and has shiny metal accenting. Heidts Mustang II front suspension and rear 4 link with airbags on the rear are seen, as well as headers snaking from the sides of the engine which melt into stainless steel exhaust and chambered mufflers. Power disc brakes for all 4 corners, and the underneath we can just say orange ya glad you looked??!
Drive-Ability
With the 355 cubes and the blower it cranks a bit but once it fires it is music to a motorhead's ears. Throw that B&M into gear and the test track begs me and my faithful sidekick to come and wear off some rubber. This car handles great, rides beautifully, and has neck snapping acceleration. Awesome stopping power and is comfortable. The A/C is installed but is non operable due to a lack of an installed compressor. There was also no power steering which is the way the car was built, but we negotiated slow parking turns and cornering without an issue. If you get tired of the melodious tunes from the engine, you can listen to one of 12 discs you can insert into the CD player.
As the plate on the back states “......JUICED”...... would be our total emotional and visual impression with the color, customization, and interior, and that simple gleaming engine with no seen hoses (how’......d he do that??!). A Chevrolet that lives up to its name and then some.... “......Special”......

2005 Ford Thunderbird 50th Anniversary Lot #118 (Sale Order 16 of 115) 2005 Ford Thunderbird Roadster ...
This retro-themed two-seat Thunderbird shares platforms and components with the Lincoln LS sedan, but comes wrapped in styling that's straight out of the mid-1960s. ...

A 280-horsepower, 3.9-liter V-8 engine drives the rear wheels via a five-speed-automatic transmission. ...

1969 Oldsmobile 442 Lot #120 (Sale Order 18 of 115) 1969 Oldsmobile 442
The "4-4-2" name, (pronounced "Four-Four-Two"), derives from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts, (some maintain that the '2' indicated positive traction rear differential). It was originally written "4-4-2", (with badging showing hyphens between the numerals), and remained hyphenated throughout Oldsmobile's use of the designation. Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2’......s standard transmission was a 3-speed manual along with an optional 2-speed automatic and 4-speed manual, but were still badged as "4-4-2"s. By 1968 badging was shortened to simply "442", but Oldsmobile brochures and internal documents continued to use the "4-4-2" model designation.
For consignment a true, numbers matching, Olds 442 that was the beneficiary of a frame up restoration 10 years ago. Prior to this restoration it has spent its life in Florida and is now in the hands of its 4rd owner, who has performed some required maintenance and correcting some issues with drive-ability. The original owner’......s manual, GM of Canada historic paperwork, and window sticker is present and will come with the car, as well as complete documentation of the restoration.
Exterior
The original Glade Green is now a splendid Aztec Gold, and it is a well-done paint job. Wide black stripes race from the front hood to the windshield. Breaking up the stripes on the roof is a pristine black vinyl top. All badging and trim work as well as bumpers are very clean and nicely polished. A sloping rear deck rounds off nicely with vertical wrap around taillights that float between the trunk lid and the bumper. Dual chrome exhaust tips exit under the bumper through small coves in the bottom of the bumper. 15-inch honeycombed gold and polished Oldsmobile Super Stock II wheels and deep dishes are wrapped with Firehawk rubber.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we see plenty of tuck and roll vinyl with a triangular pattern in black for the panels. Front bucket seats are similar with the tuck and roll inserts and smooth black vinyl bolsters. These sit within a plastic molded tub that has a chrome piped edging where it meets the bolsters. Headrests are noted on the buckets, and a rear bench stretches from door to door. A very clean dash which is original but fully restored has all the correct buttons, instruments and knobs, and is fronted by a clean and beautiful steering wheel. The original AM/FM radio is in the center and a small cluster of 3 gauges hangs below the dash in a chromed bezel. Carpet is in very good condition, as is the headliner, nice and tight. Lest I forget the center console has matching burl wood appliqué... with a walnut spherical shift knob.
Drivetrain
A numbers matching 400ci V8 complete with a 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, (the original carb is included as well), lurks under the black striped hood. The gold painted valve covers, and intake manifold are contrasted by the red Olds 442 badged air cleaner. Hoses are all supple and shiny, and absolutely not a hint of any corrosion under here. On the back is a TH400 3-speed automatic; also, numbers matching. A 12-bolt rear with 3.23 gears has posi-traction.
Undercarriage
As one would expect, the underside shows some surface rust and nice patina but is structurally sound. Floor pans are clean and rust free, and rockers have a slight bit of surface rust, but none invasive. Power disc brakes for the front, and power drums for the rear provide the stopping power. Independent coil springs are upfront and a 4 link with coil springs are on the back. A Flowmaster exhaust snakes its way rearward to the chrome tipped ends.
Drive-Ability
Certainly, a quick starter, and smooth runner. Nice power as we went through the paces thanks to a few timing and carburetor issues being corrected, along with good handling, and no creaking or squeaking when going through a turn. A great cruiser with some snappy acceleration, all looking good on the test drive with the exception of the radio not belting out tunes, the horn not beeping and the clock only being right twice a day.
A muscle car that is a step above the GTO’......s and Chevelles with its upscale trimmings, textures and materials used. Similar coke bottle design, but done in a tasteful way, and this with the black over gold, stripes, and muscle under the hood, this car is definitely an investment that is sure to rise in the coming years. All numbers matching, and all restored so you can turn the key and drive away into the sunset.

1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible Lot #121 (Sale Order 19 of 115) 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible
Corvair was the brainchild of Chevrolet General Manager Ed Cole, said Corvair Preservation Foundation historian Dave Newell and technical adviser Larry Claypool. Cole began the project in 1956, ordering parts and blueprints under the guise that it was for GM's Australian division, Holden. This is similar to the surreptitious development of the GTO package for the Pontiac LeMans. Cole considered front- and rear-engine placement and 4 and 6-cylinder air and water-cooled engines. He settled on a 140-cubic-inch, rear-mounted, flat 6, air-cooled engine, powering a 15-foot, five-passenger car.
For consignment, a Corvair Monza Convertible from 1965. This was the first year for the Fisher Z body and it addressed the Nader false accusation of the suspension being unsafe with a rear suspension that now resembled the Corvette.
Exterior
This two toned light and dark blue Corvair presents in fair condition for the exterior. There are areas of dulling, and some sap damage to the paint. The rockers show invasive rust under the stainless trim running along the bottom of this car. There is heavy involvement behind each wheel well. Other trim presents nicely, and there is plenty of it, even highlighting the gas filler door. On the back the trunk lid appears to have had a luggage rack installed at one time as the mounting holes are still within the trunk and a spot of cracked body filler on the center raised bodyline. Invasive rust is taking over the door jambs and bottom of the doors. Also, there are some large surface rusted scratches under the rear bumper, and in front of the roll pan is slight bubbling of the paint. The white canvas convertible top is solid but does not appear to have a rear window within it. Wire wheels are wrapped by thin white wall tires all around.
Interior
All original interior which shows some age in the form of smudges and areas of dulling on the original vinyl. Bucket seats upfront are original and have had lap belts added at the dealership. The rear bench is all there too in the same color and shows some loose and torn vinyl on the seats. The driver's seat has a tear on the upper back near the seam for the side panel. The original dash in dark and light blue painted metal houses original gauges, knobs and levers. The original AM radio is within the dash, and just below the ash receptacle has a missing door. Nice dark blue carpet covers the floors.
Drivetrain
A lift of the trunk and we see an albeit dusty and patina riddled 164 ci flat 6-cylinder engine. It has a 1-barrel carburetor on top, and a 4-speed manual transmission attached to this horizontally opposed air cooled configuration. A 3.27 gear ratio is on the Corvair.
Undercarriage
Plenty of years of patina and surface rust make up this undercarriage. Some areas are heavily involved. The center of the floor has some invasive rust that has taken the first layer of metal off at certain points. The bottom end of the engine has heavy oiling, and as the rockers are involved in the outer shell, we see invasive rust on the seam of the unibody on the underside.
Drive-Ability
This car started right up, and after a short warmup, ran great. Nice handling, a good ride, and shifting was effortless. I am concerned about the rust involvement, so it is difficult to say if it is truly structurally sound.
We could classify this as a project car, with many areas that will need some TLC. For the ambitious restorer, here is something for you to do.

1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria Lot #122 (Sale Order 20 of 115) There is 50’......s cool then there is 50’......s AWESOME and this car definitely fits the latter. The beneficiary of an older restoration now showing its age in a few areas but still a stunner, this classic is dripping with all the trappings one would expect from a luxury car of that era…......Continental kit rear bumper, dual under the bumper exhaust, factory front and rear bumper guards, fender skirts, and the list goes on and on.
Exterior
With a true to form 50’......s color palette, we are greeted with straight steel panels minding their gaps, and bathed in two tone Tropical Rose, and Snowshoe White. A few flaws are noted in the rose section of the paint, particularly down low on the body which is showing inclusions, bubbling and evidence of some body filler. The white is showing some age also and is due for a repaint, but still shows well. It is broken up by the polished stainless steel of the now famous 'Fairlane strip' which flows gracefully from the top of the front fenders down the side of the car and hits the tail lights mid fender. Centered on the 'Fairlane strip' in the middle of the doors are great looking badging emblems with a faded gold crown, and silver Victoria in your grandmother's handwriting. Behind the rocker panels of the car, spotless stainless trim highlights pronounced rear fender skirts. Perfect tinted glass that is in excellent shape all around is accented by the Crown Victoria exclusive chrome 'basket handle' roof piece and stainless window trim. The roof is pretty in Tropical Rose (pink). Out back, the jet-age taillight lenses look new and are topped by a small fin which houses the backup lights. The trunk is backed by a Continental bumper complete with metal enclosed spare tire. Details abound, with lock cylinder covers all around and a single chromed exterior rear-view mirror mounted on top of the driver's door. Wide whites wrap polished wheel covers that have a centered cloisonné... Ford Badge.
Interior
Looking like it was plucked right out of a Silk City Dining Car, the beautiful white and light pink combo has a firm but comfortable feel, as well as all the aesthetics that come with the mid 50’......s. The door panels which mimic the “......Fairlane Strip”...... are pink up top, and white on the bottom and all the glass has new seals as well as new door weatherstripping installed. Climb in and you’......ll be surrounded by light rose horizontal tufted inserts and ultra-wide white vinyl bolsters which are on front and back benches. The back bench is noteworthy as it has an armrest inserted and above is framed by a multiple stepped “......V”...... with the Ford logo inside…......just beautifully cool in its own way. These seats are fronted by a perfect dash, in magenta and white metal, and with all correct instruments. All this is floating within an impeccable black thick pile carpet that has had sound deadener installed underneath. The headliner is just as impressive on the inside with the stainless basket handle breaking it up, and in white perforated vinyl. The trunk has had the once over with snowshoe paint, and the correct Ford plaid trunk liner and more sound deadener.
Drivetrain
The original 272ci V8 is looking fine with its orange painted block and intake, black Thunderbird logoed valve covers and a showroom condition gray oil bath air cleaner, all complete with correct decals. Absolutely no corrosion under the hood, supple hoses and a pristine radiator. On top of the engine, we see a single 2-barrel carburetor, and on the back is a Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. All power goes rearward to a Ford 9-inch rear axle weighing in with a 3.78 ratio.
Undercarriage
Very clean and definitely rust-free environment with a now black environment. A black and surface rusted frame remains structurally intact, and black floor pans that show slight road dirt and professionally replaced rear pans make up the underside. All body hangers and supports are intact as are the inner rockers. For the suspension we note independent coil springs in front, and leaf springs on the rear. Drum brakes are all around, and a dual exhaust system has been installed, albeit with mismatched mufflers.
Drive-Ability
My decoder partner in crime would be perfectly satisfied if every car was from the 50’......s, however variety is the spice of life, and this one has plenty of good taste. The car starts right up, runs like a champ, and rides like a dream. All instruments, fans etc were functioning, however the horn, radio, clock and heater blower are in need of repair. Also, we noted that the generator light would occasionally come on. I wanted to take the remainder of the day off and drive to the shore, but I could not get permission…......
If you are into 50’......s ultimate cool, with a smattering of creature comforts, diner like interior, and plenty of stainless shine, then this retro Fairlane may have your name on it. With a color combo t

1959 Ford Thames 300E Panel Van Lot #123 (Sale Order 21 of 115) 1959 Ford Thames 300E Panel Van
The Ford Thames 300E is a car derived van that was produced by Ford UK from 1954 to 1961. The Thames, (or Thames Trader), name was given to all available sizes of commercial vehicle produced by Ford in Britain from the 1950s through to 1965. In that year the Thames and Trader names were discontinued.
And now for something completely different. You might call this a plum crazy machine from across the pond and given the apt name Thames, like the river, and now modified to be a one-of-a-kind street rod. You will not want to miss this one!!
Exterior
Looking decidedly British with its small stature single headlight and stainless-steel gridded grille we have a truck in the form of a 300E panel van. It's small, it's cute and has the windows covered over for the cargo area. Access to this area is through the center out swinging rear doors. Everything is bathed in purple right down to the oversized scooped hood. Some lighter purple pinstripe flourishes are adorning the corners and edge framing of the side panels. Looking a lot like the old Rat Fink cartoons with somewhat normal drawn bodies and exaggerated engines and tires, this truck emulates that “......Car”......toon" genre. This truck rod has a chromed rocker edge and a shiny front and rear bumper. Stuffed underneath are chrome 5 spoke Cragar SS wheels with 14 inches upfront wrapped in 185/60R14’......s and in back giant 15 inch wheels wrapped with 295/50R15’......s. Smoke ‘......em if ya got ‘......em and this baby does!
Interior
Black vinyl with some tuck and roll bordered by purple painted steel for the door panels. This leads to the inside for the black cloth with vinyl bolstered high back racing seats. These chairs are stuffed into the cockpit and are fronted by a purple full metal jacket dash. Sunpro white face gauges pepper the purple, and a rally style steering wheel fronts the dash. There is a large tachometer on the column and turn signals and tilt levers are billet aluminum. Black carpeting covers the floors for the front and back cargo area. In the center of the dash on the floor sits a B&M shifter. Nice tight gray tweed material lines the roof and sidewalls of the cargo area.
Drivetrain
Not unlike the “......Car”......toons" a large 350ci V8 all polished and shiny metal encapsulated there is a 650 Holley 4-barrel carb on top to feed it through an aluminum intake manifold. On back is a TH350 3-speed automatic, and the rear tires are spun by a Dana 60 3.73 posi rear. A very nice, machined look under this scoop. Braided stainless hoses and a shiny small air cleaner covering add to the look.
Undercarriage
Very nicely done underneath with nary even a hint of road dirt. Rack and pinion steering, independent coil overs with disc braking up front, and out back ladder bars with coil overs which are QA1 adjustable, along with drum braking is noted. Headers and a glass pack style exhaust exit on either side just prior to the rear tubbed wheel wells. This truck is now equipped with an 8-gallon fuel cell. Very sound underneath and looking good to boot!
Drive-Ability
Hopping in was like entering Mr. Toad's wild ride. Here it fired right up with a mighty roar and on the test track performed with neck snapping acceleration, good handling and excellent braking stopping on a dime. All functions were working just fab.
A very unique build to say the least with its exaggerated front hood and rear tires, bathed in plum crazy purple, and a snappy interior. I say ol chap, let's go for a spin!

1967 Mercury Cougar Resto Mod Lot #124 (Sale Order 22 of 115) 1967 Mercury Cougar
Not exactly hot on the heels of Ford Division's extremely successful Mustang, was the 1967 Cougar. Actually, the decision to go ahead and build Mercury's version of the Mustang was made in February of 1965. The Cougar was envisioned to be a more elegant, high line Pony car that would exude a bit more class and yet still encompass the qualities that made the Mustang so popular--a smaller sporty sedan that would handle well and still be economical enough for the younger customer.
For consignment…......a restomod version of the Cougar right out of 1967. Fully murdered out in sinister black, a big block V8, upgraded suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes and custom touches galore. It's time to grab this untamed kitty by the tail and enjoy the 1967 Motortrend Car of The Year.
Exterior
The Cougar is quite different from the Mustang in the realm of styling. Most noticeable was the front end "electric shaver" split Grille treatment with concealed headlights and this particular car has upgraded electric actuation and LED lighting that leads to the reverse scooped hood. At the rear, it came with T-Bird sequential taillights. These taillights have had their sequencers removed but still shine brightly. Deep end of the pool sinister midnight black covers the panels which show some usage, inclusion and cracks, particularly at the molded in rear quarter caps but all else is straight and smooth. All chrome and brightwork has been fully blacked out and the door handles have been shaved. Dual exhaust with blacked out tips peek out the back at the bottom of the chassis. Black with polished lip 17 and 18-inch Ridler wheels give this cat sure footing along with staggered size and width blackwall radial rubber. A shout out to the trunk with its plaid finished mat and relocated battery. Meow!!
Interior
Swinging one of the two doors open, we are met with more black in the form of lowback bomber style buckets with tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters. A rear bench, providing room for 3, fills the rear of the cabin and all of the seating appears as new. This car does not sport the XR-7 package so we see the standard clean black padded dash giving way for a black steel lower section and twin round gauge pods in front of the driver. These gauges are some of the few deviations from the all black theme with their silver faces and red pointers. An aftermarket tachometer sits to the left just above the slides for the heater/defroster controls and to the right are a series of warning lights. A late model General Motors steering column fronts the dash and gives us the much appreciated tilt feature. In the center of the dash are ducting outlets and an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player and just below are a trio of white-faced gauges. Medium loop black carpet floods the floors and hanging above is a tight black headliner. Finishing off the interior tour are black vinyl door panels with a vertically stitched center and bright chrome for the door actuators and window cranks. These panels present in good shape but do show some wrinkling of the material, especially around the edges.
Drivetrain
Under the scooped hood is the roaring heart and soul of this Cougar. A rebuilt and bored .030 blue painted 460ci V8 now resides between the fenders and with ported C9VE-A heads, its growl is heard for miles. This big mill is topped with an aluminum intake manifold and a Holley 750cfm 4bbl carburetor. Keeping things well dressed are polished and ribbed valve covers along with a matching air cleaner assembly. A 3-speed automatic C6 transmission sends power rearward through a 31 spline Ford 8.8”...... 3.73 TracLoc pumpkin to boil the hides.
Undercarriage
All solid underneath with miles of black painted steel and undercoating. A solid and clean unibody with subframe connectors provides the backbone for the DMJ independent coil spring front suspension and power rack and pinion steering while in the back we see leaf springs on for the ride. Power disc brakes are noted on all 4 corners, and we see a custom dual exhaust system with Cherrybomb mufflers. All these parts work together to keep this big cat sure footed through all the curves.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter and very smooth runner with acceleration aplenty just push foot further to floor. Bias free braking thanks to the 4-wheel discs, and good handling make this a luxury muscle car much more upscale than the Mustang, and more powerful especially with that big block up front. Our drive garnished quite a few looks and thumbs up and I enjoyed myself so much with this fully functional Merc that I took a second lap just so I could draw in the excitement again.
Restomods are hot these days and this car hits every mark properly. All blacked out and straight as an arrow, this Mercury was well thought out during its build and assembly. Much more luxurious than a Mustang, and in this iteration much more powerful to boot. Visit our Hallowed Halls an

1946 Mercury Convertible Lot #125 (Sale Order 23 of 115) 1946 Mercury Convertible
A lead sled is a standard production automobile with a body heavily modified in a particular way. Especially, though not exclusively, a 1949, 1950, or 1951 model year Ford or Mercury. In the name, lead refers to the heavy weight of the body, and sled refers to the lowering of the vehicle, giving these vehicles the appearance that they were slip sliding down the highway.
For consignment, in all out Kustom Kemp form, we have a Canadian 1946 Mercury convertible. Canadian Mercurys were simply rebadged Ford bodies sold in the Great White North. It is believed that this Kustom before your eyes is one of 40 '46 Merc convertibles that were built. Almost every possible body modification has been done to the rust-free car and it just oozes 50's styling. During its tenure with our consignor, it has been featured in not one, not two but 3, count them three calendars. Read on to be amazed and left in awe.
Exterior
A slammed, nosed, shaved, decked, chopped, frenched, and Lake piped, this Mercury that has seen many an hour of customization, is dripping in a metallic mauve paint job. A custom white convertible top was added on to a chopped pillar line and includes a small glass rear window. 1959 Cadillac taillights that have been frenched in along with simplified headlights with cat's eye covers. A new grille courtesy of a 1946-1948 Oldsmobile is up front and appears to be giving a disapproving frown. Dummy spotlights are seen on each side in front of the doors and dummy Lake pipes are seen down below. Kustom roll pans have been added to the front and rear of the car while full sized fender skirts cover up the rear tires. Bullet style hubcaps are on all four wheels and are wrapped in thin radial white wall rubber.
Interior
A quick flip of the interior door handle and we are met with a seat of white vinyl. White tuck and roll vinyl door panels and blinding and have a walnut burl insert that holds the armrest. A brushed aluminum door release and window crank also float in this sea of white. Down low is an aftermarket speaker and trimming out the bottom of the panel is mauve carpeting. Sliding into the well padded white vinyl tuck and roll split front bench seat we are in comfort heaven. A rear bench emulates the front and is equally as comfy. A woodgrain LeCarra steering wheel is mounted on a mauve metallic tilt column. This fronts a custom walnut burl faced dashboard complete with a litany of Classic Instruments gauges with gold bezels to monitor all engine functions. Deep pile mauve carpeting covers the floors and is perfectly soft enough to soothe my toes on a long drive.
Drivetrain
A mauve metallic 350ci V8 Chevrolet mill replaces the original engine and is topped by a 3-2bbl manifold and Rochester 2 jet carb setup that only runs on the center carburetor. A nice addition are the Corvette ribbed aluminum valve covers with mauve paint added between the ribs. This is backed up by a bolted-on TH350 3-speed automatic tranny, as well as a 10-bolt rear from a Camaro. A mirrored firewall gives extra bling to the engine bay and provides a great addition to all the mauve and aluminum parts.
Undercarriage
A factory issued frame and floor pan set run from the rear of the car to the firewall and display in black with no rust in sight. From the firewall forward we see a grafted in Camaro subframe. This subframe gives not only better suspension geometry but it provides the added benefits of power disc brakes, power steering and an independent coil spring front suspension. On the rear we have traditional leaf springs providing the ride. Block hugger heads send spent fossils to the rear of the car by way of a pair of glasspack style mufflers. Well thought out and tidy down here.
Drivability
I donned my white T-shirt, leather jacket, and my pack of Luckys then slid behind the wheel of this lead sled. It roared to life with a turn of the key, and I was off to the Classic Auto Mall test track. Here the car performed quite well with ample acceleration, good handling and bias free panic stopping. I did notice the car was devoid of any form of heat or air conditioning, but hey, it's a convertible! All was well as I rolled low and slow off the track and back to meet my partner in crime for a quick lunch.
If you're in the market for a well-executed lead sled with all the makings of Kemp then this is the ride for you. Massive amounts of body customization, a reliable simplistic drivetrain, and a comfortable Kustom interior all meld well together to form a splendid Kustom that is ripe for the picking. Even Edd "Kookie" Byrnes would be blown away by the amount of Kemp!

1935 Ford Model 48 Tudor Deluxe Lot #126 (Sale Order 24 of 115) 1935 Ford Model 48 Tudor Deluxe
The Model 48 was an update on Ford's V8 powered Model 40A, the company's main product. This 1935 Ford's combination of price, practicality, and looks vaulted the company ahead of rival Chevrolet for the sales crown that year, with 820,000 sold. A thorough refresh on the popular V8 powered Ford. The four-cylinder Model A engine was no longer offered, leaving just the 221ci V8 to power every Ford car and truck.
This consignment, a 1935 Ford Model 48 with a mere 3 owners, a rebuilt in 2004 engine, a paint job performed in the 60's and is definitely worth a look, as it's a great running classic in great condition that has been well maintained. With timeless styling and thanks to exterior lighting upgrades this classic can now be driven anywhere.
Exterior
A very attractive dark green paint, which was sprayed sometime in the 1960's, holds up nicely on all panels which are straight and have well minded gaps. Some flaws are noted in the paint and include cracking, crazing, and touch ups. A nice V shaped slanted out on the bottom vertical ribbed grille is in the center of bullet style headlights, round open-ended horns on either side, driving and signal lights. A curved bumper is below and shows nicely with bumperettes and even a thin chrome overriders. For 1935 Ford began the process of integrating the fenders with the hood cowl, a feature which this car is showing nicely. Nicely curved bars hang from the doors and have shiny mirrors atop of these bars. Door handles are nicely preserved, and running boards are covered with black rubber. Up top, keeping with the available technology of the time, a black texture finish vinyl insert is seen covering the center of the roof. A humpback design for the trunk which shows nicely chromed latches on either side. A metal encased spare tire is mounted below the trunk lid and is flanked by signal lights on stalks and sporting round chrome bezels integrated into the rear fenders. Below, an eyebrow curved bumper frames the bottom of the rear of this car and presents nicely. Light Green Kelsey Hayes wire wheels with a V8 chromed hub cap, are wrapped by wide whites all around. Per our consignors’...... notes, all of the lighting has been converted to LED.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we have plenty of saddle vinyl covering the doors with a thin band of carpeting below. Peering in we note a pair of low back bucket seats are covered in a knitted plaid vinyl covers overtop of the original light camel mohair. Another cover appears on the long rear bench seat which has armrests mounted on the mohair side panels. We note Art Deco ball styled ashtrays also on the rear panels. A nice taupe metal dash fronts the passenger seating, and has the original gauges within it, and is fronted by a nice polished bakelite rimmed banjo style steering wheel in chrome and black. Black indoor/outdoor carpet covers the front floors and in the rear, we see plush camel tan medium pile carpeting. A tan mohair headliner hangs above and shows with some discoloration and water staining.
Drivetrain
Lifting the twin side cowling reveals the original 221ci flathead V8 which was completely rebuilt in 2004 and has logged a mere 1,535 miles since. All is looking good with nicely presenting heads and single 2bbl carburetor sits atop under the oil bath air cleaner. We note a 12-volt conversion has been done and along with a full fluid change. A 3-speed manual transmission is on back which sends power to a 4.11 geared rear axle.
Undercarriage
Solid but patinaed with a liberal coating of surface rust on most of the components. The frame, flooring and all body hangers are accounted for and structurally sound. New kingpins have been installed as well as all new mechanical drum brakes to bring this car to a whoa! Transverse leaf springs give a comfortable ride from both front and rear suspensions. Headers are seen feeding Smithy's mufflers in a dual exhaust arrangement and things are all buttoned up and ready for the road down here.
Drive-Ability
Thanks to the rebuild this car started right up and on the test track performed nicely. All was solid with steering and brakes, and functions were functioning!
Save for some flaws in the 55 plus year old paint job, the body is in great shape on this car. The lines and other chrome trimmings are good, as well as it having clear delamination free glass installed. There are also some new, used and NOS uninstalled parts that will come with this car, enough so that a pickup truck will need to be used to haul them all. The total package of a great looker and a great driver, awaiting you in our Hallowed Halls.

1970 Buick GS455 GSX Lot #127 (Sale Order 25 of 115) 1970 Buick GS455 GSX
For consignment, and equipped with the newly developed 455ci. engine, the GSX touted a whopping 510-lb.ft. of torque--this from a division that catered to the upright businessman and the moderately successful family alike--bolted into a car that, had he’......d potential to wipe away the competition in one fell swoop, all the while looking very classy. 1 of the 491 Saturn Yellow GSX's built for the model year, with all the correct numbers in the VIN and on the trim tag, this gentleman's muscle car from the Buick camp is calling for you to tear up the boulevard all the while wearing your best 3 piece suit.
Exterior
For this hardtop sport coupe from 1970 and GM division of Buick, we have a very bold statement in many ways right here. Screaming in Saturn Yellow with black stripes, this zonker comes to our consignor and eventually to us through the Grant Miller personal collection. It is all in excellent condition, and has certainly no rust or major faults in the straight steel which appears to be all original to this car. A V shaped grille surrounded by shiny trim has a dual flanking headlight setup on either side. A nicely preserved bumper below is matching the shape of the front of the muscle car, along with a small black chin spoiler just below the bumper. The hood has dual wide black satin stripes running up the center, these have dual intakes in the mid section and a drivers side mounted exterior tachometer looking back to the driver's wheel through the front glass. On the sides, a black decal trim spear starts upfront, and runs to the back, ever widening as it goes on its journey. It has a pair of thin red stripes just outside its borders. On the back, it takes a sharp turn upward and runs across the top of the rear spoiler. A beautifully gracefully curved rear glass gently lowers itself to the trunk deck and that spoiler, all with stainless around the glass. Below the trunk is a built in shiny rear bumper which undulates with the shape of the back of the car, and sports inset tail lighting, and a B U I C K badge. The roofline is very sexy for this 2 door coupe, and on the bottom, the car floats on shiny 15-inch Buick Rallye wheels wrapped in G60/15 Goodyear Polyglas rubber forum the 18th week of 2020.
Interior
A swing of the doors reveals some smooth black vinyl covering for the doors on their insides. Horizontal embossing adds some interest to these panels within which float an armrest, actuator window crank and mirror joystick, along with a 3D red GS badge. Inside, medium high back sport buckets are in front with a bench in back. These chairs have textured woven inserts in tuck and roll, and shiny but slightly textured black bolsters and snappy molded in headrests. The bench in back is all excellent for the rear passengers and in the same pattern also in black, and factory condition. The dash is extremely clean, and all original with its trio of square inserts with round gauges and a chronograph clock in front of the rally steering wheel. Just below is a wood appliqué... horizontal strip of walnut with various dials, toggles, and pulls. In the center is a factory AM/FM radio and just below the console starts its journey past the buckets and ending prior to mid buckets. This console is in molded plastic and shows as black. Here we see an inset Buick triple shield badge, the Hurst shifter and some chromed trimmings wrapping the hump which is all covered in clean like new black carpeting. A black tight headliner in vinyl is above all this muscle menagerie.
Drivetrain
A flip of the hood and it's all gleaming with excitement as are my eyes opening into this muscle car madness. Here I note a 455ci V8 which is the correct engine for the car but the stamping and suffix code has been machined off so there is no VIN or engine stamping code to verify it is matching. It does however show an engine casting number that is correct for the car and falls into 1970-71 production of the 455ci V8. On top is a single 4-barrel carb which is correct for the stamping code for the car, but would have been installed at the factory on a 1970 automatic GSX. Topping this mill off is the factory correct dual snorkel ram air air cleaner assembly dressed to the nines in black paint and sporting GS 455 and Stage 1 decals. The transmission is a 4-speed manual Muncie M20 which codes out as a 1966-1967 model now strapped to the rear of the mill. Way back presents us with a 10 bolt 3.42 Positraction rear axle with an OO stamping code.
Undercarriage
Just showroom quality with no dirt and all black surfaces with no rust. Some shiny parts are also intermixed like the gas tank and exhaust system which is factory correct. Stamped floorpans are perfect, and the engine bottom end has no drips or leaks with any blowback. All very clean with power disc braking upfront, and power drums on back. Independent coil springs are in front and a 4 link with coil springs are in

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Resto-Mod Lot #130 (Sale Order 28 of 115) For consignment, the first year of the Tri-Five craze coming to life in our South Hall, (subject to change!), of the Classic Auto Mall. Here we have a consignor stated complete brand new car using all new parts, and an all steel body from Woody's Hot Rods, put together by Borneman’......s Restorations, and has plenty of modern goodies within its skin. The 9,200 miles were clocked on trips back and forth from Florida.
Exterior
Starting up front with its simple egg crate grille with shiny mirror like bumper on bottom, and single chrome bezel headlight on either side with an oval turn signal below, the beginnings remain simple on the embellishment front. Screaming 1950’......s Gypsy Red covers the front around this chrome, the hood, front quarters, doors and lower half of the rear quarter. This paint is very deep, and one can become mesmerized with its quality. A chrome trim spear mid-section of the front quarter runs rearward through the door, where it comes to an abrupt halt. With its starting point on the total surround of the passenger compartment, a chrome trim piece works its way past the door sills, then heads downward towards the mid rear quarter, where it is met with another mid spear which takes us to the back of the car. This part is bathed in India Ivory which is also in very nice condition. This spear combo is the delineation between the red, and ivory, which covers the roof, and trunk deck as well as the back of this car. A side view will give you a hint of the design that created the craze with these car’......s introductions, showing curved front and rear glass, all surrounded by chrome trimmings. On back, are simple lamplighter style taillights, a large cloisonné... badge, and another beautiful bumper with dual pipes hedging a look out of the bottom of this beautiful new creation. On all corners are shiny pointed dog dish wheel covers with red wheels and a chrome trim ring at the edges are all wrapped up in wide white wall 215/70R15’......s.
Interior
Moving inside starting with the door panels, and let’......s just say the hits just keep on coming!! Using white stitched red vinyl and more ivory colored vinyl which all mixes together with more swoop spear-esque styling trim, the door panels emulate the exterior design. Tuck and roll stitched panels for the mid sections, and a thin strip of red vinyl below. On these doors are power window toggles and shiny crank for the wing window and door actuator. Slipping on to the 50’......s styled bench, also in red vinyl bolsters with ivory vinyl smooth inserts, this split bench stretches from door to door and is sporting power movements. A rear bench presenting in the same fashion is in back and there is plenty of romper room back there. Fronting this is a dual fan dash with the gauge cluster on the driver’......s side, and badged speaker and round clock below on the passenger’......s side. This dash has been completely built from new parts and shines in red metal with a nifty shiny band of punched pattern bow tie logos running through the center. The instrument cluster is vintage looking but completely new and has a more modern layout including a tachometer. More red below and shiny knobs, ignition and temp sliders are seen here. Below is a thick pile, clean, deep red carpet which is pristine, and it is flooding all the floors. In the central glovebox now sits a small screen that displays the backup camera. Bluetooth connectivity is also available in this car. Above is a tight white vinyl headliner complete with chromed ribbing between the ceiling panels. Also a big shout out to the trunk, which is not to be outdone by the customized interior, it sports black rubber covering straight as arrows panels, and an original spare tire.
Drivetrain
Within the engine bay which gleams with red pride is an LS327 V8 that is rated at 325hp. It has EFI and on back a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine has a custom metal engine covering and all is just beautifully buttoned up under this hood.
Undercarriage
Let’......s stick to the theme of stunner underneath, with no rust solid Revo frame from The Roadster Shop, body hangers, and floor pans. Throw in some pristine dual exhaust, a new fuel tank, and a drip free bottom end of the engine, and we are in show car heaven. Independent coil springs for the front and a 4 link with coil overs are on back. Power Wilwood disc brakes are on all 4s. A turbo muffler system is now on as well.
Drive-Ability
A turn of the keyed ignition and all 8 are fired up and ready for the test track. This car is a screamer with plenty of power, good braking, excellent handling, and a smooth cruise. All the controls were working like a charm. I’......m ready for my drive-in experience. Throw 6 people in the trunk and let's get through the gate and pop open the case of beer we brought too.
We have several examples of the Tri-Five cars here at Classic Auto Mall, and this one certainl

1956 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday Coupe Lot #131 (Sale Order 29 of 115) 1956 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday Coupe
Oldsmobile entered the 1950s following a divisional image campaign centered on its 'Rocket' engines and its cars' appearance followed suit. Oldsmobile's Rocket V8 engine was the leader in performance; its cars were generally considered the fastest on the market; and by the mid-1950’......s their styling was among the first to offer a wide, "open maw" grille, suggestive of jet propulsion. Oldsmobile adopted a ringed-globe emblem to stress what marketers felt was its universal appeal.
For consignment, an original correct drivetrain, frame off (2015) restoration of the Oldsmobile Holiday. This cars design was ahead of its time for 1956 generally using styling that would be replicated years later by the other manufacturers. A simply beautiful example of mid 1950’......s success this one drips with class, and chrome. Many extra parts are included with the sale.
Exterior
From its open maw grille inspired by jet propulsion, wrapped in a massive bumper surround which turns the corners on the bottom of the front quarters, to the two tone paint tastefully broken up by a sleek trim spear, this example is just wonderful. A Glamorous Glennis (Bell X1 rocket plane) hood ornament stresses the jet age inspiration even more. Cirrus Blue befitting a car with a cloud-like ride is over most of the two thirds of the body panels. This has been buffed out to a gleaming deep shine, and jumps over the swoop spear as Artesian Blue, which finishes off the back of this car. This paint is buffed to a spit shine as well and is as beautiful as the Cirrus that floats above it. A wrap around windshield a first for the big three has mirror-like finish and surrounds all the glass. On back the sweep cut fenders are topped by rocket like taillights and on the bottom framed with another massive pristine chromed bumper. Dual chromed tips peek out from underneath this big bumper, and 15 inch highly polished tri pointed star wheel covers are wrapped in wide whites on all 4 corners. Badging is all excellent and is rocket oriented…......Look! Up in the sky!
Interior
Using a pallet of the Cirrus Blue, Artesian Blue and Cream and chrome it all gets mixed together and forms a fabulous designed and tactile interior. Starting with the dash with its oval instrument cluster framed by a large chrome bezel, this magically morphs into a horizontal chrome panel as it races to the passenger door with a centered original Super De Luxe AM radio and ends in a second oval with concentric ovals of chrome with a central pool in black and 50’......s styled stars and Oldsmobile badging. Artesian Blue metal covers the top of this dash, and Cream is on the bottom. An aftermarket AM/FM CD player is neatly hidden under the dash. Fronting the dash is the original bakelite steering wheel with more stars and badging in the center. Floating above the dash is a metal oval encased compass, an essential for early navigation on back roads. Beautiful 2 tone leather seats with blue tuck and roll inserts form a V in the seat backs of the front and rear benches. These are surrounded by cream vinyl bolster and top panels and are as clean as a whistle. Thick pile deep blue clean carpet floods the floors, and a tight headliner in white perforated vinyl hovers above all this visual eye candy.
Drivetrain
324 Cubic Inches bathed in green block paint and green valve covers with Oldsmobile Rocket 88 in yellow paint, grace the clean and fully restored engine bay. A single 4-barrel Rochester Carburetor is on top, and a Jetaway 4 speed Hydramatic automatic transmission is on back of the rocket mill. The rear axle has 3.64 gears for that cruise at low RPM option.
Undercarriage
A bit of surface rust, and lots of fine aged patina surfaces make up the solid frame and floorpan areas. We can note that all wheel cylinders were refurbished, a new master cylinder with a stainless sleeve has been added, and new drum brakes for all 4 corners have been installed. Independent coil springs for the front, and leaf springs for the rear suspension and we have the fixing’...... for a cloud-like ride.
Drive-Ability
This car drove like a dream with a quick start up, bit of a warmup, but performed beautifully with decent acceleration, good stopping power, and smooth handling. A few of the knobs (wipers, original radio, fan speed controls were inoperable)
Just a beautiful example of 1950’......s decadence with the overall theory being make it bigger and pile on more chrome, and sprinkle on some tasteful jet age inspired design. Oldsmobile utilizing names like Fiesta, and Holiday, life was one big vacation and party, and this was a fab car to show up in for the game…......of life!

1991 Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan Lot #132 (Sale Order 30 of 115) 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan
For consignment, an original survivor with a mere 92,834 actual miles, nice Cotillion White paint, a very clean, and all conveniences working interior. A smooth 4.9 liter V8 is under the hood, it looks and drives just like the day your pop pop drove it off the showroom floor.
Exterior
Straight steel which lines up very nicely with its chromed trimmings is bathed in Cotillion White, which is hard to say a bad word about save for a few scuffs and chips in the front bumper. From the square and rectangle design grille and dual rectangular headlights all shiny and nice to the rear coach lamp shaped vertical tail lamp with chrome frames, this car has been well taken care of. The roofline with its extended area from the B pillar to the C pillar adds to the delicious richness this car offers up in mid 80’......s style. A white vinyl top covers the expansive passenger compartment, and the lower third of this car is bathed in complementing medium gray. Even the Cadillac script engraved into the side badges and the cloisonné... crested badges on the front and back are showroom! Silver 15-inch multi spoke finned aluminum wheels with the Cadillac badge on the hubs have thin white sidewall tires surrounding them and add to the splendor of this early 90’......s luxury liner.
Interior
A swing of the massively dark blue padded dual paneled door panels, waltzes with wood appliqué... and aluminum and chrome trimmings. A full control panel-esque grouping of toggles and joysticks work all the convenience functions and are at your fingertips. So is the clean door actuator handle and a large panel of blue carpeting under the armrest put there so you don’......t scrape your Bruno Maglis on the threshold. Panning to the inside there are two tufted and buttoned buckets which are in 50/50 split form and wrapped in beautifully preserved dark blue leather. There is a padded center armrest which folds upward and disappears from the bucket seats. Having the driver open the rear doors, you can luxuriate in a large padded bench, again with the tufting and buttoning, and central fold up armrest. These wonderful overstuffed recliners float in a sea of deep pile blue carpet that has only a few light stains at the driver's position. Looking forward to the dash, we note plenty of wood appliqué... mixed with some very clean blue vinyl which houses all the blue LCD readout dash instrumentation essentials and is fronted by the factory steering wheel. In a centrally located bump out from the dash is the climate controls with blue LCD readout, and an information center. Next to this is a digital AM/FM/Cassette player.
Drivetrain
Under the massive hood, in a clean uncorroded engine bay sits the 4.9 Liter V8. This is original to the car and you can tell when you hear it idle that it has been masterfully and faithfully attended to with servicing. It is fuel injected and has a 4T60 4-speed automatic transmission pushing power to a 2.73 geared axle.
Undercarriage
Slight surface rust on the usual suspects, but the floorpans don’......t even have any road dirt on them. All solid underneath with power disc brakes and independent suspension providing the cushy limo-like ride.
Drive-Ability
We love these large and in charge Detroit iron behemoths that roll through our door, and this one has no love lost for it. It started right up, was extremely comfortable, and my snappily dressed for the occasion test driver whisked me through the test track and I did not spill a drop of my chardonnay. An excellent experience. What a great job I have indeed, and I could get accustomed to all this hobnobbing with the goober smoocher set. A/C blew nice and cold and all functions were working as they should.
Well heeled, high class, wealthy, high end, and luxurious still abound in this classic, which rolls you down the road with showroom ease and style, as well as condition. Fastidiously maintained and put away nicely for the next jaunt, this Caddy is truly rad, with a big touch of class!

1948 Chrysler Royal Lot #133 (Sale Order 31 of 115) 1948 Chrysler Royal
The Chrysler Building is one of the most beloved of New York City’......s skyscrapers, an architectural manifestation of both the Art Deco era and the automobile age. Famous as it may be, the Chrysler Building holds many fascinating secrets, compounded by the fact that it is difficult to visit and doesn’......t offer tours, unlike the Woolworth Building and the Empire State Building. The Cloud Club once belonged to a group of mile-high power lunch spots in New York City atop the city’......s most distinctive skyscrapers. The New York Times calls The Cloud Club “......the inspiration for many of the others.”...... It was initially designed for Texaco, which occupied 14 floors of the Chrysler Building, and used as a restaurant for executives. It opened with 300 members of New York City’......s business elite.
For consignment, a 1 family owned car with believed to be an actual 58,534 original but unverifiable miles wearing a nice paint job and clean post war lines. A fine example from 1948, hailing in the big and plenty chrome era.
Exterior
Bathed in a Dove Gray respray, the big steel body is straight and gaps are good. All chrome is still nicely polished and not much fault can be found with it. In front there is plenty of chrome trim interacting to form the eggcrate centrally peaked grille with multiple layers. This emulates the peak of the hood and carries it through down to the clean front bumper. Fenders with single headlight showing off with chromed bezels and chrome grille bars which wrap around the fenders and die off before the front wheel. A nice hood ornament which is a flamboyant Chrysler badge leads off the rounded bulbous hood and sits upon a long trim piece which runs rearward to the front glass. The passenger cabin design with its front split glass has a rearward canter, and more surrounding chrome trimming wrapping all the other glass. On the rear quarters are rounded bump outs to carry on the design from the front fenders, with a belt line trim spear and more trimmings just above the rear wheels. A beautifully rounded trunk finishes this car off, and within this round field is another Chrysler badge and fancy chromed license plate illuminator. Small veed taillights in shiny chrome bezels wrap the rear fenders and hover nicely above a pristine rear bumper with single exhaust peeking out from underneath. Dove Gray steel wheels are capped with chrome Chrysler moon caps and wrapped in wide whites.
Interior
Looking like new, we see fuzzy broadcloth gray panels sandwiched between a wood painted sill and gray carpeting below. Within the smooth gray are the door actuators, window cranks and vertically ribbed broadcloth armrests. Inside a front bench cradled by a ribbed broadcloth tub and the seating follows suit with thin striped broadcloth bordered by piping all in gray. This split bench presents beautifully with no staining or tearing of the material. In the back is a split bench in matching condition and color which more so resembles an overstuffed couch than a car seat. The dash is all original with a faux wood grained front. Within this, a cream bakelite panel holds the original gauges, a centrally located radio and bakelite covered speaker looking much like a jukebox, all chromed and big! The original steering wheel is fronting this dash and is looking just dandy with its tan bakelite rim and chrome horn ring. The clear topped shift lever is on the “......tree”....... Very nice gray carpeting is flooding the rear floors and a ribbed black mat is up front. Peering upward reveals the original mohair style headliner, nice, clean and tight.
Drivetrain
Popping the hood, we are greeted by a 250ci L head inline 6-cylinder engine, original to the car and mostly unrestored but clean. It has a 1-barrel carburetor, an oil bath air cleaner, a 6-volt electrical system, and supple hoses are seen. A 3-speed manual transmission is on back and a 3.90 rear axle handles the 114 horses that emanate from the mill.
Undercarriage
Still wearing its age-old rust proofing on the frame and flooring, things present as patined with surface rust but no invasive rust is noted. All remains solid and we see one small repair area in the outboard flooring. Hydraulic drum brakes for the front and rear. Independent of each other, coil springs and shocks work together to provide the ride for the front, and leaf springs are on the back. Amazingly preserved underneath with a newer exhaust with a single pipe working their way rearward to culminate in a chrome tip.
Drive-Ability
This car with its original engine started right up and idled smoothly. Off at the test track, it accelerated with ease and held a decent cruising speed. Brakes were good, and the car stopped in a straight line with an un-held steering wheel. Functions were good and overall the car provides a nice smooth ride.
Chrysler built solid cars to last, and this car upholds that theory.

1962 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Series Special Lot #134 (Sale Order 32 of 115) For consignment, ...a restored and owned previously by a restoration company in NJ, (Hiberion Auto Restoration/Bob Turnquist), who restored the car then sold it to a previous owner, and now in the hands of our consignor. ... All the main power windows work, (although the vent windows are a bit lazy and need some oomph applied!). ...Two tone glorious paint, and fins that are beginning their decline, this long and luxurious land yacht is a head turner to say the least. ... Back in an era where status was measured by the inch, and gas was like pumping water, it speaks of excess, although tastefully.
Exterior
Dual dual headlights flank either side of an egg crate grille, and are mounted in deep chromed bezels. ... These and the grille float above a large shiny bumper with turn signal lights embedded into each corner, and wrapping around the front quarters. ... On the wide hood is a chromed V and just above a Caddy badge all in chrome. ... Straight steel panels are bathed in Maize, (pale yellow), which shows a few repairs and some touch ups. ... Gaps are well minded for large panels, and a black painted hardtop is shading the passengers. ... Not 1 but 2 trim spears adorn the sides of this luxury vehicle, and 4 doors hide under the black roofline with vent windows on each corner. ... The back of the car is this writer's favorite Caddy design with just a hint of finnage that houses vertical tail lighting as the fins can’......t inward to the rear chroming. ... Here backup lighting and a round reflector are embedded in chromed squared off ovals, which flank either side of a ribbed trunk roll pan. ... A thin shiny bumper is attached below and also runs the width of the car on the bottom. ... One look at these rear quarter tops with their tail lights and you will know exactly which Caddy this one is, hence why I like it so much! ... Wheel coverings are turbine style blades emanating from a central hub with the Caddy badge and some yellow paint has been added to the negative space between the turbine blades. ... These blades cosy up to a deep dish shiny edge trim ring and are all wrapped with whitewall tires. ... Maybe I’......ll run into you at the 19th hole and we can have a drink?
Interior
Large doors swing smooth like safe doors and have white leather uppers with a large framed in chrome wood burl panel. ... This serves as the door pull. ... A litany of toggles in the armrest operate the glass, and a joystick moves the exterior mirror. ... Inside nicely preserved bench seating using smooth Fawn leather bolsters and just inside their piped edges is broadcloth in lighter Fawn, complete with more buttons than an old shoe. ... In front is a standard GM dash design with horizontal speedo in the center of the driver’......s view, and some round deep inset gauges and a clock on either side. ...Other controls are in a horizontal bar below the speedo. ... On top of the padded dash is a headlight sentinel which detects oncoming cars and dims the high beams automatically because after all pushing that metal mystery, (to any but boomers), button on the floor is so pedestrian. ... A sleek caddy steering wheel in two tones is fronting the dash and I see AC venting all about this cabin. ... Warm gray carpeting covers the floors and is in good condition. Also above is a warm gray broad cloth headliner with tight panels. Take me to your leader…......or at least pout to dinner!
Drivetrain
Under that big hood in a completely restored and shiny and clean engine bay, sits a factory numbers matching 390ci V8. ...There is a single 4 barrel carburetor atop, and a HydraMatic 4-speed automatic on back. ... A 2.94 gas saving, (like you care you own a Caddy!), rear axle. ...All looking great under this bonnet.
Undercarriage
No surface rust here, just a nice heavy coating of rustproofing, and no signs of any road dirt even within reach of my eyes as I peruse this undercarriage. ... While looking I can also catch independent coil springs up front, and 3 link with coil springs for the back, providing the smooth riding. ... Power drum braking and a clean rust free stock exhaust is on.
Drive-Ability
Sometimes I tell people I have the best job in the world. ...I get to drive this stuff! ... And this one did not disappoint as it fired right up, ran smoothy and silently, shifted without even a glitch, and came to a fine stop in the panic mode. ... As noted the front and rear vent windows were less than slow, they did not function at all, and I couldn’......t get the high beams to stay lit.
Plenty of WOW factor in this restored beauty. ... Wonderfully tasteful design, iconically Cadillac, and full of luxury and conveniences. ... Turn the key and drive off and forget about the other half lives, as when inside this beast you are on the OTHER half of the other half, go it?

1967 Ford F100 Pickup Lot #135 (Sale Order 33 of 115) 1967 Ford F100 Pickup
The current F-series as we know it has been the best selling truck for 45 consecutive years and for 40 of those years it was the best-selling vehicle overall in America. Believe it or not, it wasn’......t until 1959 that the original F-100 got factory four-wheel drive. And last but not least the front bumper was the longest running unchanged component for the entire F-series from 1959-1979. WOW!
For consignment, a very nice and very cool truck right out of 1967. Lots of nice trim, decent exterior paint with slight markings from expected use, but certainly nothing terrible, meticulous maintenance performed, many upgrades to turn this truck into a great daily driver that turns heads wherever you go, and an aftermarket overdrive unit added to keep the rpm's low and conserve some fossils. While our consignor states this is a driver truck, our well-trained eyes lead us to believe this truck is capable of being driven daily during the week then winning shows on the weekend.
Exterior
Retired from hauling duty and fully restored this truck has no rust thanks to a liberal application of rust proofing, straight panels and a few areas of paint scratches and surface markings, but it is from wholesome use. Nice trim runs the length of the truck breaking up the Wimbledon White and Lunar Green on the midline and another spear as well the rockers and wheel well surrounds. A well-preserved front grille and bumper are leading the way. Extra-large towing mirrors are on both doors and shiny brightwork frames the drip sills and glass which gives way to a snappy Wimbledon White roof. Bringing up the rear is another nice bumper, and a Ford logo embossed in the green and white tailgate. Dual exhaust tips peek out from behind each rear wheel. The bed remains nice with its Lunar Green paint and shows signs of usage but no abuse. 15-inch steel wheels are wrapped by 215/75R15 thin whitewall tires.
Interior
Climbing past nice door panels with a mix of Lunar Green steel and dark green plastic and a beautiful chrome surround in black we climb into the dark green cobblestone pattern tuck and roll vinyl inserted seats in with smooth green vinyl bolsters. This bench is very nice with no tears or even wear showing and has some nice chrome dress up to cover the hinges. A look to the dash, and we note the factory gauge panel with its mix of black and shiny chrome bezels and the factory AM radio installed just above the heater control knobs. The dash top is crack free padded green vinyl. Deep dark green carpet in good condition floods the floor. Above a simple gray perforated panel makes up the headliner.
Drivetrain
A 352ci V8 resides in the cavernous engine bay which powers a 3-speed manual transmission with the help of a 2-barrel carburetor. A Dana 44 rear axle puts power to the blacktop. This engine bay looks more like that of an award-winning show truck with its mix of black, Lunar Green, and Ford blue covering the engine. We also note a Gear Vendors overdrive unit installed behind the factory 3-speed gearbox to give us low cruising rpms at highway speed.
Undercarriage
This truck shows very well underneath with some road dirt and only hints of surface rust on the frame and suspension components with all else being covered in black rustproofing. Dual exhaust with Cherrybomb glasspack mufflers expel burnt fossils to the rear of the truck and power front disc brakes work in conjunction with rear power drums for proper stopping power throughout the topography of rural Pennsylvania. A twin I-beam and coil spring front suspension gives a nice ride and for the rear we see traditional leaf springs. Nice and tidy would describe the undercarriage best. Of special note is added correct Ford power steering, new front radius arm bushings, new rear wheel cylinders, new brake shoes, a new oil pan gasket and a new rear main seal on the engine.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and smooth idler, a tickle of the gas pedal and we're off! This truck runs very nicely, shifts smoothly, corners nicely, and has a fairly smooth ride. The interior is comfortable, which is to be expected because Ford had the theory that their trucks were workers on the outside, but car-like interiors would rule. All functions were working during our drive and the note of the V8 more than makes up for the limited AM radio reception.
An eye-catching example of the F-100, certainly not perfect, but it’......s a truck that can show as well as double as a daily driver. With tons of recent maintenance and service done along with a complete front-end alignment we have a well running, snazzy looking, and all rust free. Right here at Classic Auto Mall y’......-all!

1973 Ford Ranchero 500 Lot #136 (Sale Order 34 of 115) 1973 Ford Ranchero 500
It's not often that you see any of the mid to late 1970's classics restored back to their showroom glory, let alone a Ford Ranchero. Most were used as intended then passed on to eager teenagers who slapped on the best parts they could afford from the local speed shops and drove them into the ground. For consignment, a lightly restored and never thrashed on 1973 Ford Ranchero 500. Wearing a respray in its original color, very groovy 1970's upholstery, original dealership brochures, a 351ci Cleveland V8, and even a factory 4-speed manual transmission. This Ranchero will be sure to be far out for years to come.
Exterior
The beneficiary of a repaint 2 years ago, this Ford just gleams in a nice respray of the factory applied Bright Green Gold and it's holding up well these years later. Just a few areas of imperfections and body filler that was used during the redux is showing through. Dual headlights sit outboard of a Vee canted eggcrate grille which floats in a sea of Bright Green Gold that is the header panel and lower filler. The big chrome NTSB mandated crash bumper sits below with the only flaws being some light staining on the lower sections. A long gloss black hood complete with hood pins and a Cobra-Jet style scoop leads back to the raked back windshield and black vinyl top. Clean correct brightwork adorns the long slab sided body including the door handles and the correct script emblems and how can we forget the black rocker stripe to break up the space between the wheel wells. This shiny motif follows suit on the inset rear window and the entire bed is framed in more stainless. Speaking of the bed, it's still the consignor stated factory applied paint lurking underneath the black rubber mat. FORD lettering in block style covers the tailgate, as does Ranchero in chrome script and an added GT badge. Crescent style segmented tail lights flank this gate and contour to the bodylines perfectly. Correct Magnum 500 chrome wheels in 15-inch format are shod in staggered width Cooper Cobra raised white letter radials. Good vibes man!
Interior
With a swing of the long well balanced door we are greeted with a dark green vinyl door panel with a central knitted vinyl pattern. A smooth upper vinyl section in green is dressed with chrome delineation strips and a touch of class is added with the embossed olive branches. A chrome window crank and door release adorn this panel and a carpeted lower section brings it all together nicely. Moving inside we see the factory split bench seat in vinyl that sprawls from door to door. Smooth green bolsters frame multi-hued green knitted vinyl tuck and roll inserts and not a tear is to be seen, (you just can't beat 1970's color choices). The original green three spoke rim blow and Shelby dressed steering wheel fronts a crack free dash which encompasses the 2 main gauges and a 5 pod gauge cluster in burl applique plastic framing. Just below are the heater controls and a later model Ford AM/FM/Cassette stereo to the left and right respectively. Green medium loop pile carpet floods the floors and the factory wood knobbed shifter grows from the hump. A tight dark green headliner hangs above. Can you dig it?
Drivetrain
Lifting the miles long hood we see the original 351ci Cleveland V8 in blue blocked form. Blue valve covers and a blue air cleaner assembly stand out in a sea of mild patina and a multitude of hoses. Lurking under the air cleaner is a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. Bolted to the back of the mill is the correct Toploader 4-speed manual transmission which sends power back to a Ford 9" 3.25 conventional geared rear axle.
Undercarriage
A solid steel frame supports factory floor pans with the frame showing just slight surface rust. Independent coil spring suspension is on the front and a 4 link with coil springs is on the back to provide the ride and haul the loads. Power front disc brakes work in conjunction with rear power drums to bring things safely to a stop. A new looking dual exhaust system sends spent gasses to the rear of the car and the Flowmaster mufflers give it just the right sound. All buttoned up and looking good, do you copy?
Drive-Ability
Sliding into the groovy 70's interior a twist of the key brought the car/truck to life. Performance was adequate, braking was smooth, and handling was good on our drive. We didn't make any trips to Lowes so we can't speak to performance with a full load but who's going to use this Ranchero to haul anyway. All functions were performing swimmingly at the time of our drive, just keep on truckin'.
A well sorted, lovingly cared for iteration of a truck that is rarely seen these days. Add in some vital paperwork, a powerful V8, 4-speed manual and tons of fab 70's charm. With all the plusses and nearly no minuses this Ranchero 500 won't be idling long in our Hallowed Halls, catch my drift?

For consignment from 1956, the Chevrolet 150 Sedan Delivery and this low number production “......milestone car”...... made in a mere 9,445 examples for the model year. ...

It's a bit scary how fast this car will deliver, but it does in many ways, ...sit on down and grab a piece of the pie!
Exterior
Like a freshly picked orange, the Hugger Orange paint is exactly the right choice, because this car doesn't want to take prisoners, and the finish work ensures that nobody thinks it's still working for a living. ... A ton of money has been spent on this project, and while it's a few years old now, the paint still shines up well and the flat surfaces that would ordinarily advertise in gold that this is the Hollywood Knights Pie Wagon are reflective enough to shave in each morning. ... Much of the original '56 Chevy trim was retained, and the restrained look of this particular panel delivery is a big part of its ap-peel. ... A custom touch on the hood in the form of ever so slightly raised steel in the form of the chrome jet that was once leading the way streaks back to the exposed dual carburetor set up poking out of the hood. ...

Just a single strip of stainless trim on the flanks gives it a traditional look that's helped by the slight rake and like new Boss Motorsports 18 and 20-inch chromed and polished wheels. ...Delivery!!! ...Delivery for Classic Auto Mall!!!
Interior
When you climb inside, you'll find heavily bolstered racing bucket seats wrapped in black and orange that certainly contribute to the heavy hitting hauler car vibe. ... Matching door panels work well with the slick black and piped orange look, and the dash is a mixture of old and new, with the original ...1956 fan style cluster augmented by white face Dolphin gauges and the tachometer and supporting black face gauges mounted atop the dash. ... Dash central holds the wiper knob as well as an AM/FM/Cassette stereo helps to pass the time all within the correct bowtie punched polished aluminum inlay. ... A brushed aluminum tilt steering column and rally style steering wheel add a racy look, as does the Hurst ratchet shifter which is ideally placed for gear changes. ... The cargo area is fully upholstered, offering gray carpets on the floors and custom black Chevrolet bowties on the side panels, along with nicely integrated speakers for the stereo system. ... An 8-point roll bar grows gracefully from the carpet and will protect you and your passenger should your high speed delivery go awry.
Drivetrain
The stout 454 cubic inch V8 power plant already with plenty of chutzpah, it's augmented with dual Edelbrock 600 cfm carb, Edelbrock tunnel ram intake, and a set of long-tube headers that bolster its already robust torque curve. ... Adding some bling are the chrome stack air cleaners, master cylinder, alternator, polished valve covers and aluminum radiator. ... It's backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and Ford 9" 4.10 geared Posi rear end, so it was clearly designed to be driven...fast!
Undercarriage
All clean, mean ...and rust free with the exception of some slight surface rust on the usual suspects. ... A clean and solid frame provides the support for the independent coil spring front suspension with power disc brakes and in the back are leaf springs with traction bars and power drums, it rides and handles better than you'd expect. ... Some patina but all looking very good down here with long snaking Hooker headers feeding spent fossils to the rear of the car through a pair of Hooker Aerochamber mufflers and ending in angle cut stainless tips. ... ...

1969 Ford Ranchero 500 Lot #138 (Sale Order 36 of 115) 1969 Ford Ranchero 500
Looking original in its paint scheme, this former California car, er...uhh, truck lived the good life from its birth until it was brought eastward in 2014. Wearing 100% Ford sheet metal and having been treated to some upgrades, both on the aesthetics and performance front along the way, this truck was meant to be driver. A grocery getter by day and by night a cruiser with a 351ci Windsor V8.
Exterior
A respray of the factory Wimbledon White adorns this car and is looking top flight with only minor inclusions and a mismatch of the color for the pinned and scooped hood. The gaps are still well minded, and trimmings are used sparingly only as a thin side spear trim down low and polished surrounds for the glass and top of the black tonneau covered bed. Up front, the standard Fairlane grille, slightly sunken back into the body, leads the way with chrome highlighting, GT badging and outboard dual headlamps. A good looking chrome bumper hangs below and gently wraps around the lower edges of the front fenders. More dress up is on the sides in the form of a C-stripe in gold that thins to a point as it races rearward. Out back a FORD badged tailgate hovers above another nice chrome bumper and is flanked on the sides by tall ovoid tail lights. Popping the snaps on the tonneau gives us access to the fold down tailgate handle then exposing the Rhino lined bed which presents with little to no wear. Keeping this hauler grounded are 14-inch styled steel wheels with polished trim rings and GT center caps. These wheels are shod in like new raised white letter BF Goodrich Radial TA rubber.
Interior
A swing of the door and we see black vinyl panels with some chromed trimmings and handles and cranks. Grand Touring badges have been added for a little extra dress up. Inside some black vinyl combines with a tuck and roll crushed velour insert in mostly gray but with a few speckles of black color added. Black piping surrounds the borders and chrome trimming gives some pizzazz to the sides of the seats. Racing between the buckets is a black console with a black padded topper armrest/glovebox as well as a brushed and polished aluminum insert around the chrome T-handle shifter. The dash upfront is a foursome of deep inset circles with antique white face gauges shaded nicely for viewing. These include a factory tachometer, speedometer, clock and pod for warning lights and the fuel gauge. This padded dashtop is in a black much like the seat surrounds. The lower band of the dash shows a band of wood applique that holds the heater vents and Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo. Clean black carpeting, a wood rimmed rally wheel fronts the dash, and above is a stippled pattern vinyl headliner, remaining clean and taut.
Drivetrain
A 351ci V8 in blue is under the scooped and pinned hood and is fed a precise mixture of air and fossils from an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake manifold. Bolted to the back is a 4-speed AOD automatic transmission that sends power rearward to a 3.25 geared TracLoc equipped Ford 9" axle with 31 spline axles from Tom's. Some chrome dress up has been added for the valve covers and air cleaner lid courtesy of Edelbrock and we note the addition of AC to keep you cool as a cucumber.
Undercarriage
Half and half would best describe the undercarriage, with half sprayed in black and the back half left to age with the car. Overall showing some patina and surface rust but all including the unibody remain solid. Independent coil spring suspension is up front along with power disc brakes and in the rear we note leaf springs and power drums. Dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers snakes it way rearward and ends with chrome tips under the rear bumper.
Drive-Ability
An easy starter, smooth idler and comfortable driver. Sinking into the vinyl and cloth seats afforded me the time to gaze upon not only the factory gauges but the additional units installed under the dash. A movement of the shifter into drive and I was off like a prom dress. 3 laps around our test track rewarded me with unlimited acceleration, bias free braking and surprisingly good handling for a truck. All functions were operational at the time of my drive and the AC even blew cold.
A former California car, upgraded in both the looks and performance categories, but not losing the original charm it was born with. Loaded with modern features, this car/truck is ready to haul you right out of our Hallowed Halls, then you can impress your friends by hauling some ass!

A shining example of taking an amalgamation of performance parts and stuffing them into straight steel that is nicely painted and nearly all rust free. ... Traction bars, Cragar wheels and a rear facing big scoop hood all added to a big sum of total muscle!
Exterior
The recipient of a painstaking restoration with straight sheetmetal and good panel alignment, this was then finished in a can't miss it coating of Hugger Orange base coat, then clear coated. ... Prior to the clear coating though, wide black dual racing stripes were painted on. ... We note a few bubbles in the paint on the lower body panels along with inclusions in the finish throughout. ... All markers and lighting, locks, chrome bumpers and brite work look nearly new and shiny brightly. ... A low profile rear facing scooped hood was added to give some extra breathing room to the 327ci encased within the engine bay. ... A touch of custom bodywork was done on the rear quarter panel lips, as they have grafted in fiberglass flares to allow proper clearance for the wide rear meats. ... On the back a small rear spoiler attached to the trunk lid and just below is a pristine bumper framing the horizontal tail lights. ...14 and 15-inch front and rear Cragar chrome 5 spokes are on all 4 corners.
Interior
Picking up nicely from the exterior black stripes, we see a sea of black nice condition vinyl. ... This is covering the door panels, which are nearly showroom and the buckets which are high back versions with large headrests attached that have recently been recovered. ... In the back is a black 2 plus 2 rear bench just as nice as the front buckets. ... In the center is the carpeted hump complete with a T-handle equipped Hurst shifter. ... The dash is original and has the factory steering wheel in front. ... On the left of the column is an aftermarket tachometer and this fronts the deeply ...inset cluster of new factory style gauges. ... We note an aftermarket radio AM/FM/Cassette stereo is now installed just below the chrome heater slides. ... Black ...carpeting in like condition is on the floors and above is a tight black vinyl headliner with a working dome light. ... We are ready to roll!
Drivetrain
Under the scooped hood is now a 327ci V8 that sports a new Edelbrock 4-barrel ...carburetor to feed the hungry mill copious amounts of air and fossils. ... A Saginaw 4-speed manual transmission is installed and sends power to a 12-bolt posi rear sporting ...4.11 gears. ... All this is kept in perfect tune thanks to recent spark plugs, ...wires and a fresh oil change.…........OOOOH YEAH!
Undercarriage
Plenty of attention has been paid to the undercarriage with straight rust free steel, floor pans that are like new, (because they are), and rust free rockers. ... The bottom end of the engine shows a few drips on the chrome oil pan, but nothing to fret over. ... Surface rusted headers run to a Flowmaster exhaust that makes its way to the back of the machine. ... Independent coil springs are on front and on back are leaf springs with traction bars, again just black paint and no rust. ... Manual drum brakes are on all 4 corners for the whoah factor and all is looking great under here!

This car fired up with a mighty roar, and performed much like the roar at the start. ... Out on the test track it had wonderful launching from the Saginaw's first gear, and unlimited acceleration. ... Braking was solid and handling was on point for a car of this era. ... All functions save for the fuel gauge were working at the time of our drive.

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Lot #140 (Sale Order 38 of 115) 1969 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle
The storied Chevelle is one of those timeless designs that looks good no matter how it's built. Stock, modified, race, pro-touring, whatever; the clean lines and balanced stance on these tough classics create a confident swagger that's universally admired. That means, if you're looking to ride in style, you really can't go wrong with a Chevrolet A-Body. And when you factor in this ride’......s big block drivetrain, tastefully restored interior and first rate, all-American sheet metal, you get the picturesque profile of an incredible muscle car!
For consignment, a Chevrolet Chevelle SS clone from 1969. A mostly original looking car for the exterior but has a snappy engine under the hood, fuel injection, disc brakes, and there are now tubular A arms along with new shocks to provide the ride. A full build book with receipts, instructions and photos is included with this professionally done build.
Exterior
A side view has this car setup with a very neutral stance, giving the car a very racy look. To add to the effect, it is bathed in a nearly flawless coating of red paint which has also been ceramic coated. Most of the side trimmings have been left off, and the only ones still visible are the wheel well highlight moldings and trimmings around the nicely complimenting black vinyl top. A nicely curving rear glass melts seamlessly into the trunk lid and moves to the back of the car where angled inward tail lighting is seen on each corner. Chromed bumpers and window trimmings are looking nice and shiny, and it is badged with modern SS badging on the fenders, blacked out tail panel and the new chrome highlighted egg crate grille. A chin spoiler resides below the front bumper adding to the racy look. Hovering above the grille and new halo headlights we also note a cowl induction style hood has been added, while not factory correct, it adds a lean and mean look to the long front end. Lightly tinted polished 17 and 15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels are wrapped in 235/50ZR17’......s in front, and 275/60R15’......s on back for that extra smokkin’.......
Interior
Nicely straight black vinyl covered door panels are on the inside of the 2 doors, along with some shiny cranks and door actuators. Thin strips of chrome delineate different panels and an SS396 badge is near the center of the sill. Moving inside we see split bench seating in the front and a full bench in the rear. The seats are also covered in black vinyl and have some smooth bolsters on the seat and back and shallow tuck and rolls inserts. Headrests are present as well on these chairs and in the back, a bench seat is stretching from side to side. All this seating is floating in a sea of clean, fade free black carpeting. The original dash styling has been retained but now houses a bevy of indigo backlit Dakota gauges has an added digital readout for the clock, odometer and temperature gauge. A FAST fuel injection controller hangs from the top of the dash with a central tachometer and auxiliary gauges circling around like vultures to carrion. A snazzy billet style rally style steering wheel is fronting this updated dash. In addition, an aftermarket digital AM/FM sound system is installed into the original niche where the radio from the factory resided. Above a black headline shows a few wrinkles, and a Junsun camera/navigation equipped rear view mirror hangs proudly.
Drivetrain
As we lift the hood we can unequivocally say “......Toto we are not in Kansas Anymore!”....... Here we see a large 402ci V8 stuffed into the engine bay that has been fitted with forged pistons and an Edelbrock .560i/.573e lift camshaft. It has Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, 1.7 ratio roller rockers, FAST EFI and a full FAST ignition system including a FAST EFI 2.0 ignition module. A new R134a A/C system is on to keep the passengers cool. A TH350 3-speed transmission in automatic format is bolted on the back and a12-bolt rear with Positraction and 3.55 gears is now on. The engine is a very nice presentation with a concerto of cast aluminum, polished valve coverings, a chrome master cylinder, and it's making use of all braided stainless-steel hoses, and high output wiring. Lookin' good under this hood.
Undercarriage
A coating of black covers the undercarriage. Floor pans, rockers, and suspension parts are involved and barely any surface rust is noted. Wilwood power disc brakes are on the front and in the rear, we have power drum brakes. All new stainless-steel lines have been added for the brake system. For the suspension we note an independent front coil spring arrangement with tubular control arms and in the rear we see a 4 link with a UMI lift bar and more coil springs. We note the springs are Moroso trick racing springs and all new shocks are seen. There is a new fuel tank and new EFI fuel pump and handling the removal of spent fossils are Hooker Super Comp headers and a pair of Flowmast

1934 Ford Coupe Zipper Lot #141 (Sale Order 39 of 115) Offered for consignment and your viewing pleasure, a totally different take on a street rod. In today's world of high tech and high dollar hot rods, it's hard for a guy or gal on a budget to have a car that is different. Enter Darrell Zipp, the founder of Zipper Motorcars, a US Army veteran of the Vietnam War who came home in 1968 and worked as a freelance artist before being hired by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth to work on Ed's "Chopper" magazine. Ed recognized talent when he saw it and arranged an interview for Darrell with the Revell Inc. model company. Darrell stayed with the Revell until the time they were sold, working as their head of research and development, but all the while dreaming about building full scale cars. In 1976 he opened Traditional Street Rods in Newville, CA which operated for 3.5 years and took its toll as Darrell was still employed full time by Revell. Fast forward to 1992 and the LA roadster show in Pomona, the Diamond Anniversary Deuce made its debut and from there people started calling the car and others that Zipp built a "Zipper".
Exterior
Made of durable and non-rusting fiberglass, this rod is based on a 1934 Ford. Some key components were removed like the fenders and the car’......s wheelbase was lengthened and lowered for that sleek racer look. Leading the way is the long forward flipping track style grille and lengthened hood. Chrome trimmed headlights flank the small oval grille and hover above the exposed chrome laden front suspension and give us the start to the racer look. Moving to the sides we can breathe in the wonderful black and red paint scheme with a sweeping silver painted inlay delineating the bottom black from the upper red. This inlay wraps around the body and gives the air of motion even while standing still. Another silver swoosh highlights the exposed side engine bay and looks just fab with the chrome header pipes which reach rearward. An extremely shortened cowl leads back to the suicide doored passenger compartment where the '34 styling cues really come into play. A sedan style rear body encloses the back of the cab giving a "shorty" look to the overall design. Dual chrome trimmed tail lights are mounted low on the cab and the money shot of this whole car is the exposed and chromed rear suspension and quick change rear axle. Weld Rodlite wheels adorn the 4 corners and are wrapped in 25x7.5 and 31x12.50 radials on the front and rear respectively. Their faces are highly polished and the fenderless wheel and tire combo is exposed for the whole world to see. Boyd Coddington, eat your heart out!
Interior
Red leather, all in first class condition with big tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters fill the interior of this racer. Deep pleated tuck and roll leather covers the inserts on this contoured bench with smooth bolsters surrounding this pattern above and below. A snappy cut out is seen in the center of the lower cushion and provides the perfect home for the pistol grip Hurst shifter. This red leather makes an appearance on the door panels highlighting the smooth gray panels with a lower black insert. This gray and black is warmly wrapping the rear panels and toe kicks. An oval 32 coupe black dash containing the Shark white faced gauges and some warning lights and pulls sit to the sides. A quick release 3 spoke steering wheel is fronting this miles deep dash and lightly soiled charcoal gray carpeting covers the floor pans and presents with some wrinkling. Just fantastic on the looks and comfort end.
Drivetrain
Shoehorned in under the forward tilting once piece hood sits a 350ci Chevrolet V8 in its black blocked glory. It has custom chrome ribbed Chevrolet badged rocker covers and a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner assembly. Feeding the finely tuned amounts of air of fuel is a Holley 4bbl carburetor attached atop an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. Bolted to the back of this blinged out mill is a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission which in turn sends power back to the chrome plated Winters quick change rear axle. All is kept cool by an electric cooling fan attached to an all aluminum radiator. Exhaling is done through custom chrome headers that can rack off for the whole world to hear.
Undercarriage
A marvel of engineering shows up under neath. We are talkin’...... about a chrome I-beam front axle that’......s been dropped along with Zipper friction style knee action shocks and a 4 bar arrangement. In the rear we note an independent rear axle with a transverse leaf spring and more of the Zipper knee action shocks. This suspension is chromed and polished to the nines and is so clean you could shave in your reflection. Disc brakes are courtesy of the folks at Wilwood on the front and rear. The belly pan is also doubling as the twin fuel tanks and the frame is all custom Zipper. Just perfection underneath!
Drive-Ability
Just a beautiful driver and awesome cruiser and thanks to the suicide doors and quick relea

1934 Ford Roadster Zipper Lot #142 (Sale Order 40 of 115) For consignment, a custom built 1934 hot rod made by Darrel Zipp. ...Our consignor states this car was one of the first examples produced during the transition of the Zipper company being sold to Fiberblast Hotrods, which began in 2007. ... It is maintenance free fiberglass and reinforced with steel. ... It sports a chromed out 350ci V8 and has a six pack to feed this mill. ... Design is just spot on taking the “......deuce”...... design from old Henry and adding a modern touch. ... Open wheel, open cockpit, sit in and open up the throttle to allow those thirsty carbs to quench the engine’......s thirst for power, which there is plenty of!
Exterior
A side view is all you will need to fall in love with the hot rod era, where kids were taking the nearly ubiquitous early to mid 30’......s Fords and stripping them down, hopping up the engine, and racing anywhere they could find that the po-po was not. ... This roadster is fiberglass bathed in black with a super long exaggerated hood, a beautiful shield style grille with stainless vertical ribs and a curve to die for up front. ... Simple headlights hang from either side, and plenty of chrome tubing suspension and snarling twisting exhaust add some contrast to the black. ... A split tinted windshield frames the front of the tub, which conveniently has a wide door for easy access and egress. ... This is a real plus for a “......normal" sized American as some of these hot rods of the same genre, have no doors and you must hop over the rail to get in. ... Not this car. ... Behind the rounded rear tub sits the chromed rear pumpkin which appears to celebrate Christmas more than Halloween! ... Our builder throws on some 24x7.50-15’......s on front and framing the rear are 2- 31x12.5R15’......s, all wrapping 15 inch Weld Rodlite wheels. ... Which is just more chrome to add bling. ... Definitely not Henry’......s old deuce anymore.
Interior
Withing the tub floats a saddle brown leather bench with plenty of padding and width for the driver and passenger. ...Another plus from the typical hot rod with interior room. ... Tuck and roll saddle inserts are on the door panels, and upfront is a full fiberglass jacket dash which houses a lineup all the way across of instrumentation with white faced gauges and chromed bezels conveying all the vitals. ... A rally style steering wheel is fronting this black painted dash. ... In the middle of the bench is a cut out to make way for a B&M pistol grip aluminum shifter. ... Black carpeting floods the floors and out its simple elegance in saddle leather with plenty of room.
Drivetrain
A flip of the hood forward reveals a mill Henry could have only dreamed of, (and could be currently turning over in his grave!). This includes 350 cubes of V8 and up top are 3 two barrel carbs and power is pushed through a TH350 3 speed automatic transmission. ... The chromed rear sticking out the black is a Winters quick change version. ... Chromed headers and some snappy side pipes can be seen in full glory from the open sides of the hood. ... She’......s my little deuce coupe, you don’......t know what I got.
Undercarriage
All chromed, a front straight dropped axle with a chromed 4 bar setup is on, and in back flanking the pumpkin, is a 4 bar transverse leaf spring suspension setup with knee action shocks. ...Wilwood disc braking is on all 4 corners to add the woah! factor to the 6 pack fed 350ci mill power. ... All engine components are clean cast metal and plenty of chromed accenting. ... Even the radiator is a work of art in all its chromed glory.
Drive-Ability
An easy climb in and she fired up with a mighty roar. ... After a short warmup, it was off to the test track where performance was unbeatable with the power to weight ratio. ... Handling is very good, and with no power steering, turning was still a breeze. ... A good looker and definitely a cooker.
This car can test the limits of your courage with its power and open feel. ... It is exhilarating, and comfortable, and an e ticket ride if you want it to be, or a comfy cruiser down main street. ... A wonderful custom build with a slight modern take own the original stripped down hot rod. ... If this is your genre come in and check it out, if not just write it off a speed crazy kids in hopped up cars.

1973 Ford Bronco Lot #143 (Sale Order 41 of 115) 1973 Ford Bronco
For consignment, a 1973 Ford Bronco which our consignor describes as a resto-mod. ... I’......d describe it as a dirt digger, rock climber and an unstoppable force against anything nature can throw at it. ... A body and suspension lifted 4x4 with a beefy 4.6 liter DOHC 32 valve V8 w EFI, a “......family roll bar setup”......, and some serious meats on all 4 corners. ... Military grade? ... Well, read on my trailblazing friends and campers.
Exterior
The beneficiary of a frame off restoration and the typical Bronco was thrown out the window, baby, bathwater and all, and now only the frame, front and rear axles were reused for this build, and it has a virtually all new steel body. ... This was lifted 2 inches and the suspension was lifted 3.5 inches, so there is plenty of ground clearance to take on even the deepest of crevices or the most mondo of rocks. ... The original top was removed and a “......family roll bar”...... was installed which basically protects the entire passenger compartment occupants in case of a roll over. ... A custom canvas straight roof top was fabricated and installed above the roll cage. ... All steel is rust free with new emblems and has well minded gaps, and it's all bathed in the deep end of the pool black paint, even the taillights have a black covering over them. ...The front and rear bumpers are HD tubing and or a steel bar. The rear bumper has a tow package and the front bumper a push bar. ... LED front headlights, Bully side steps to aid in your climb inside before making your climb up the hill, and blackened trimmings make this a truly menacing Bronco if there ever was one! ... And lest I forget the 35 inch Nitto Grabbers wrapping Black Fuel wheels on all 4 tall corners. ...Hang on…......this IS a bucking Bronco fer sur!
Interior
A climb inside reveals like new doors painted full metal jackets in black with a textured vinyl insert panel housing the black vinyl armrest, and black anodized aluminum billet window cranks. ... Inside we rattlesnake, (well it sounds like the outdoors?!), our way through the full roll cage and slip on to the high back buckets wrapped in gray broadcloth. ... Between these tall chairs is a custom 3 tier console with a padded armrest on top and cascading levels down to the cupholder on the hump. ... In front of this is the dual transfer case shift levers well within the driver's reach. ... A rally steering wheel covered in leather with 3 black open spokes in the center front custom dash which is also...wait for it…......black! ... To the drivers left is a digital and analog round cluster with blackface and white readouts. ... This one gauge houses the speedo, tachometer, oil, temp, fuel level and volts. ... The odometer is a digital LED unit. ... Moving across we see more billet knobs and pulls in satin machine aluminum and a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo. ... Speakers are mounted throughout. ... The gear shift lever has a billet topper and is located on the tilt wheel column. ... In front of the passenger is a small glove box. ... In the back is a utilitarian but effective bench for extra tagalongs. ... This can be folded down to add to the rear small plastic over steel lined ribbed bed. ... A tailgate provides easy access to this area. ... With this interior you’......ll be one happy camper.
Drivetrain
A complete restoration and upgrading and the original mill was also thrown out with the baby and the bathwater and now a powerful 4.6 liter DOHC 32 Valve V8 with EFI powers this classic truck. ... A 4-speed automatic 4R70W 4-speed automatic is on the back of this new mill, and a 3.50 Trac Loc rear axle is spinning the rear meats. ... All is well under this custom molded engine covered bay.
Undercarriage
Frame off is serious stuff and there’......s no fooling around with this undercarriage. There is also no rust, just strong pristine looking black painted structural steel everywhere. ... Floor pans are as solid as the rocks you’......ll climb and upfront some radius arms and coil springs soften the blows and on back leaf springs. ... Power disc braking courtesy Wilwood are on all 4 corners. ... There is now an electronic E-brake installed and you can see the controller underneath. ... Also, dual Flowmaster exhaust is working its way rearward and is looking like new.
Drive-Ability
In Morgantown PA there are not a lot of rocks to climb, so I just climbed in and fired it up and off to the test track I went. ... It has great acceleration, plenty of power and the dual shift levers allow many options for gearing in 4WD. ... There was no granny with a walker so I could not test to see if it was a true granny gear, but it's a true crawler. ... I tried to climb the side of the building, but the owner came out and poo pooed it! ... All functions were working and solid as a rock.
A passionate build makes for some serious 4 wheeling and rock climbing (see the intro). ... This restored frame off Bronco is a real powerhouse and a

1917 Packard Twin Six 2-25 Series Touring Lot #144 (Sale Order 42 of 115) 1917 Packard Twin 6 2-25 Series Touring ...
For consignment a 1917 Packard Twin 6 2-25 Series Touring. ... One fine automobile in very good condition, we have in our midst chassis 126726 who’......s original owner was a GE employee Martin P Price of Schenectady, ... NY. ... Mr Price would keep the car for 7 years eventually selling it to James Tiffany of Delanson, NY. ...Mr Tiffany owned the car until 1970. ... It then went through the hands of a few other owners and eventually into ...a collection of a gentleman named Howard Schevitz who lovingly restored the car to its current condition. ...A big car, with big lines and a big engine....exactly what the doctor, er...ummm...the GE employee ordered.
Exterior
One of Packard’......s features is the exceptional coachwork all performed in house. ...Pulling from what was seemingly an unlimited pool of in house craftsmen, and today this talent is on display within this car. ... Right down to the Warner Lenz headlight bezels which are works of art in themselves. ... This body which sits upon the 2-25 original chassis, has 4 doors, a long cowled hood, beautifully curved exterior fenders and running boards and a convertible top which is all excellently restored canvas and in black. ... The body is near flawless, bathed in Packard Blue, and the fenders and hood are contrasting and tasteful black. ...All of the paint is miles deep and the gaps remain like they were from the factory. ...Fine details like the radiator cap, with its twin 6 numerals, and new for 1917 smaller 35-inch wheels make the car lower to the ground than the previous launch year. ... These wheels are expertly crafted from wood, and have a steel cast center hub with the Packard badged center chromed hub cover. ... Even the spokes alternate in styling and pin striping a tribute to the attention to detail present in this example. ... Surprisingly chromed and polished adornments are kept to a very tasteful minimum, showing up only on the radiator cap, side view mirror and the dual windshield frame which can be tilted out. ...The door handles are very special as well and provide easy access to the passenger compartment. ... On the back, a single tail light and two spare tires reside off the rear of the passenger tub. ... A lack of chromed bumpers is also interesting and evident.
Interior
A swing of the heavily leather clad and exceptionally padded doors allows us access to the well appointed passenger compartment with its ability to seat 7 comfortably. ... Dual larger black leather benches accept the passengers on wide tuck and roll curved back styled seats. ... For the driver, a large wood steering wheel is reaching for his or her hands, and has all controls on the actual wheel. ... It’......s a process to start her but getting through it is well worth the effort. ... Interestingly, the dash is devoid of any gauges, just blue painted steel. ... In front of the passenger are a dual stacked cluster of a clock and the speedometer actually mounted under the dash. ... The shift lever and handbrake are to the driver's left and mounted next to the driver’......s door. ...Down below, the flooring is made up of nearly perfect rubber panels with chromed edging. ... Entering the car from the rear doors we are introduced to two jump seats with the ability to fold in and down to the floor, offering the rear curved tuck and rolled bench passengers to have plenty of legroom. ... The convertible top is open to the elements so this should be considered a fair weather car. ... ...
Drivetrain
Under the black painted cowled hood we see the heartbeat of the car in its twin 6 cylinder, (V12), configuration. ...This too is beautifully preserved and runs like a Swiss watch. ... It weighs in at 424.1 cubic inches and produces 88hp. ...It has a 1 barrel carburetor and 3 speed manual transmission on back with 4.35 rear axle turning the rear tires. ...All very nicely preserved, ...down to the cups on top of each cylinder head. ... ...
Undercarriage
Retaining the original chassis and suspension shows a testament as to exactly how well made these fine automobiles were constructed. ...This chassis shows some light surface rust and plenty of patina but remains structurally solid. ...The bottoms of floorboards and running boards are nicely preserved and all solid as well. ...The car has rear only mechanical drum brakes, and leaf sprung suspension both fore and aft. ... ...
Drive-Ability
The engine's smoothness and tractability left automotive journalists grasping at superlatives. ...A writer for The Automobile raved that the car would accelerate smoothly from 3 miles per hour in top gear. ...A journalist who caught a ride with American soldiers in their pursuit of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa related that, "it was like riding on velvet when those big Packards laid back their ears and breezed along as though their only ambition was to catch up with the horizon." ...My experience was just as

1971 Plymouth Barracuda Hemi 'Cuda Restomod Lot #145 (Sale Order 43 of 115) 1971 Plymouth Barracuda Hemi ‘......Cuda Tribute
For consignment, a built to the hilt and ready to kick ass tribute to the 107 Hemi 'Cuda Hardtops made for the 1971 model year. This Mopar Action feature car came to our consignor from Kansas, is a 3 owner car and our consignor has over $180,000 in the built. ... Starting life as a mild mannered 318ci powered Barracuda Gran Coupe, it has since had all the metalwork done with help from Six Pack Performance helping with the Shaker conversion to the original hood, and a gentleman in Connecticut adding in the gills to the factory fenders. ...Ray Barton of the legendary Ray Barton Racing Engines led our consignor to give the nod to a Barton built 528ci Hemi V8 making a tire shredding 849hp and capable of propelling this furious fish to sub 10 second 1/4 mile passes, ...9.88 @ 140mph to be exact and the video link is below but note, some safety upgrades are necessary to comply with NHRA rules to run sub 10 seconds on a regular basis. We give you a high powered Hemi clone, just a beautiful job overall has been done and is more than capable of taking a bite out of the competition. Scroll on!
Exterior
6 gaping grille nostrils within the now Rally Red grille, a pencil thin chrome bumper, dangling fog lights, and angled shark gills on the front fenders are enough to intimidate any modern American heavy hitter. ... Hood pins keep things secure for the ever familiar Shaker hood, created from the factory flat hood, and now has a corresponding black Shaker scoop. The hood continues rearward to a pristine stainless framed windshield and bringing up either side of the stainless framing are Rallye Red sport mirrors and up top is a flawlessly installed black vinyl top. Moving to the rear quarter on our way, we note extremely well minded gaps, all straight worry-free steel, and the iconic HEMI billboard stripe in matte black. And at the back of the car, a sleek rear spoiler finished in black textured organisol hovers above a traditional valence housing the iconic Plymouth multi-bar tail lights and a ‘......Cuda badge all within a matte black rear panel. ...The rear showroom quality bumper hangs below the valance and in a Rallye Red lower panel dual chrome tipped exhaust peek out. ... Very few imperfections and inclusions are noted in the paint, and certainly no rust is found and one must look hard to find the flaws. 15-inch aluminum Cragar wheels by Weld Racing are wrapped in deeply treaded 225/70R15's up front and 325/50R15 Mickey Thompson rubber out back.
Interior
Keeping the door open to the “......no stone left unturned department”......, we can swing open a door and see showroom quality door panels in black molded vinyl. ...These have a sleek seamless look along with their ‘......Cuda badges in chrome. ...Also showroom quality are 2 thin early 1970’......s sleek black leather high back buckets with smooth center panels and back with built in headrests, some tuck and roll pattern inserts with buttons and smooth bolsters. ...The rear bench carries this motif in back, and these are nearly perfect as well, although getting back there may be a touch difficult for the average adult as a 6-point roll bar with removable door bars was installed by Precision Chassis. ...This all sits in a beautiful calm sea of jet black carpet that has embroidered red ‘......Cuda stitched floor mats. ... Floating above the carpet up front is a well done restoration on the dash, featuring a clean as a whistle round lineup of rallye gauges all within a wood appliqué... field and a black padded dash top. ... Seen racing up the center between the buckets is a 70’......s stylized console in black vinyl and wood appliqué..., and sporting a Hurst Pistol Grip chrome armed shifter. ...A faux wood rimmed 3 spoke rim blow wheel fronts this very 70's muscular dash. ...Above all this 70’......s menagerie is a tight black vinyl headliner. ...
Drivetrain
A Mopar Performance Mega 426 block now stroked to 528ci by the world renowned Ray Barton Racing Engines, replacing the original 318ci V8, makes ...849hp and is more than capable of sub 10 second 1/4 miles passes. ...This elephant has been fitted with a Mopar Performance steel crankshaft, Barton connecting rods, CP 10.4-1 compression pistons, and a .700 lift Bullet roller camshaft. ...This elephant was then topped off with Barton ported Stage V cylinder heads, Barton roller rockers and Jesel sleeve type roller lifters with no needle bearings. ...An 1150cfm ...Dominator carburetor feeds copious amounts of fuel to the mill through a Barton aluminum intake manifold and a black Hemi 'Cuda badged shaker assembly tops things off perfectly. ...Attached to the back of this healthy mill is a Pro-Trans forward manual valve body equipped A727 3-speed automatic transmission. ...Power flows rearward and is distributed to each rear wheel via a Strange Engineering built ...Dana S60 axle with 4.10 gearing. ...

2014 Cadillac CTS V Coupe Lot #146 (Sale Order 44 of 115) 2014 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
For consignment, a diamond cut styled, bathed in Crystal Red Metallic beauty that defines the highest performing luxury coupe. This 19,580 mile car shares the same engine as the Z06 Corvette, that being a 6.2-liter V8 that is supercharged and pushes out 562 ponies! Throw in some paddle shifters, the caddy nameplate, and plenty of room for 4 along with a spacious trunk and all can go somewhere in style…....... and very quickly.
Exterior
All CTS-V models feature a unique grille that doubles front-end airflow to help enable its high-performance capabilities, along with an aggressive front fascia and raised center section of the aluminum hood that provides clearance for the supercharger. This CTS-V coupe exterior incorporates a number of unique cues that blend function with aesthetics. The dihedral Cadillac grille, for example, is larger to enable more air intake and features a satin finish, while the raised hood encompasses the supercharged engine beneath it. The front and rear fascias, as well as a rear spoiler that houses the center high-mounted stop lamp, are specific to the car, as are its standard 19-inch wheels. High-intensity discharge headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting System are standard, and fog lamps are standard also. All this is bathed in Crystal Red Metallic and polished aluminum wheels, and we have stunner and a runner. A sunroof and built in designed rear spoiler are on for some added sport, all the while encapsulating you inside in luxurious comfort…......read on!
Interior
This CTS-V interior features streamlined instrumentation, LED lighting and hand-cut-and-sewn accents. We see performance seats featuring neutral gray perforated sueded microfiber inserts designed to hold the driver and front passenger in place during cornering. Complementing the performance seating are a thick steering wheel and a gauge package designed for easy, at-a-glance reference during performance driving. Large instruments have bold readouts, including an LED-lit “......tracer”...... function in the tachometer that flashes as the engine nears the red line. The gauge layout includes a boost gauge and a lateral acceleration display. Competition gray, ( light and dark), accents grace the center stack, console, steering wheel and door panels. Also featuring an audio system with navigation, including AM/FM stereo, CD/MP3 playback, Bose Surround Sound with 10 speakers, 40-gig hard drive and USB with audio connectivity, is standard, as is Bluetooth phone connectivity. Noted is a rearview backup cam, ultrasonic rear park assist warning system, adaptive remote start, heated and cooled and 8 way adjustment driver’......s seat, and above a power sunroof. All floated by black carpeting which is pristine. Go fast but go in style! Oh and almost forget the 2 plus 2 rear bench that also holds the passengers tight for the thrill ride!
Drivetrain
With a 6.2-liter displacement and V8 format this supercharged mill puts out 565 horses and 551 lbs-ft. torque. On back is a 6-speed 6L90E automatic transmission complete with paddle shifter option on the steering wheel. A 3.73 limited slip differential is on the back and helps spin the tires!
Undercarriage
Save for just a “......smidge”...... of surface rust it is all looking just fine underneath. Independent coil springs and Brembo power disc brakes are for the front, and on the back are more Brembo power disc brakes surrounded by independent multi link coil springs. Factory dual exhaust provides the enormous exhale.
Drive-Ability
In the lap of luxury, living large and going like a bolt of lightning, this chiseled form does not disappoint on the performance end. It goes on seemingly forever with the power, handles very nicely, and stops on a dime with the Brembo’......s. All functions were working as they should, and it is a luxurious and neck snapping ride that is for you and your passengers to enjoy.
Looking racy and stylish, optioned out the wazoo, and plenty of power via the supercharger Z06 Corvette engine, what more could you ask for? How about the keys to take her home?! Awesome!!

For consignment, a green mean machine, in the form of a '32 Deuce 3 window coupe, which is considered the nirvana of the hot rod examples and was the very first car to take on this kind of genre. ... This car is a fiberglass replica but holds nicely as an original. ... Bathed in green, has a powerful 350ci ZZ5 crate mill with some goodies inside, (see Drivetrain section), a leather interior, modern conveniences and is truly a looker and certainly a cooker. ... rrrrrrrribbbbit!

Exterior
Perfectly sculpted fiberglass makes up the exterior of this deuce and it's bathed in tree frog green, which my crack decoder named antifreeze green, ( keep it away from your cat!). ... Either way it's expertly applied and sports slightly darker ghost flames on the front fenders. ... In lieu of the red eyes there is are single large round chrome bezel headlight flanking a central vertical ribbed grille with a body matching cowl. ... The hood ornament is shaved and a like new curved bumper frames the bottom. ... The hood is an open cowl version allowing the engine to be viewed and listened to. ...Curved fenders with a central running board was the design of this era and this is expertly sculpted and molded and of course rust free for this set up. ...A suicide hinged door is hanging from either side with a small chromed mirror attached. ... Tinted glass is in for the chopped top, and as the ...roofline melts into the trunk area a beautiful curve makes its way gently downward to the shiny rear tail lighting and bumper. ...The car rides on big 17-inch polished Boze wheels wrapped in front 205/50R17 rubber and larger rear 235/65R17 from the 8th week of 2019. ... A finer detail seen is the engraved 1932 Ford badge in the center of the running board rubber which is a nice highlight as you prepare to enter the interior.
Interior
A swing of the suicide hinged doors and what to my wandering eyes appears? ... All light sand leather expertly stitched into the panels which use vertically ribbed tuck and roll, custom curved armrests and a small corner storage pouch. ... Some billet actuators are built into the panels and are oval in their shape. ... A triangular billet aluminum door lock is noted on the edge as well. ... Nifty! ... Inside I take a seat on more comfy light sand leather, which is a split back overly padded bench with tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters. This leather also covers the vertical surfaces of the interior. ... While seated, I reach for the billet modern banjo styled wood rimmed steering wheel on top of a chromed adjustable column. ... This fronts a full fiberglass green jacket dash which is as simple as the original 32’......s with two centrally located oval bezel and glass fronted digital readout instrument clusters, each above the other. ... Blue LCD readouts make it so simple to read you could be illiterate and still drive this car. ... Oval AC vents are on either edge of the dash, which is also as curvaceous as the front and rear fenders. ... More sand leather covers a custom console which is very low but effective. ... Tan carpeting covers the floors and it's very much like new with sand stitched edging. ... Chromed oval pedals keep with the theme of this interior, and the KISS theory abounds in here.
Drivetrain
Within the oped sided cowled hood sits a beautiful industrial metal flame engraved valve covered 350ci ZZ5 crate engine. ... Within its confines is hidden a steel crank, a 4 bolt main, a roller cam, roller rockers and it's all topped with a Holley 4-barrel carb. ... Coated headers make their way from the heads, and a stainless steel exhaust expels the spent fossils efficiently. ...On the back is a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. ... If it's not chromed or engraved, its satin cast metal for a wonderful presentation warranting the open sides.
Undercarriage

1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau Lot #148 (Sale Order 46 of 115) 1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau
Another new model for 1966, the Town Landau replaced the Landau for this one year only. Note the difference between this model and the Town Hardtop: the Town Landau features a Levant grain vinyl roof in Black, White, Parchment, or Sage Gold with color-coordinated S-Bars. The designation "Town" identifies only the rear quarter roof line; the designation "Town Landau" requires the additional trim, (vinyl roof, S-Bars, wood grain ,etc.), that are unique to the Town Landau only.
Showing in fair condition we have a sky blue respray Town Landau, complete with the Landau S bars on the rear B pillar, this is a low and cool boulevard cruiser. A fur coat for dad if you will. Now go pet the dog and grab the milk from outside. This find will need some TLC and upgrading, but it has all the basics ready for your loving hands to massage its back to full bore beauty.
Exterior
Getting more streamlined, we note less accoutrements and worthless adornments and more clean simple lines. From the dual headlights to the clamshell egg crate grille and hood intersection, the wrap around bumper all is presenting in fair condition. The headlight and grille are somewhat reminiscent of the Mustang with their coves and shape as it forms to the grille. Seen on the driver’......s rear quarter and the passenger’......s rear of the door panel as well as the rockers is some underlying rust bubbling through the paint, and a few cracks in the paint. Surface and invasive rust is noted on the rockers, where most of the cracking is occurring. The Levant grained roof is in good condition and presents in black. All badging is present and accounted for. The back with its jet age styling and a taillight that runs the length of the back of this beauty has a shiny bumper below. Standard T bird styled, and badged wheel covers are seen on all 4 corners.
Interior
Inside, the Town Landau has the same standard equipment and features as the Town Hardtop, with the exception of the door and roof consoles having a simulated wood grain appearance, as does the steering wheel (without speed control). Sage blue vinyl covered buckets with square stitched inserts in the seats, some stripes for the upper backs, shiny smooth bolsters flank a futuristic styled console glove box and power window switches. The rear bench has an interesting curvature to it and a center padded armrest area. On the dash 4 planetary style round gauges front the horizontal bar speedometer. A total midcentury design approach with the vent styling to the knobs and levers all space aged out and plenty of chromed plastic trim. Blue carpet floods the floors and is overall good condition. A leather grained vinyl headliner is seen, and it sports a central console including various warning lights on the ceiling aluminum ribbed upper console. A note to the attention to build details are on the b pillars with stitched square panels within the vinyl, just a nice extra 60’......s touch with some texture. Noted this would be the last year for the Swingaway steering column, allowing for easy access and egress from this sporty vehicle.
Drivetrain
An unrestored appearing original 390ci V8 engine sits within an original looking engine bay. This mill is topped by a single 4-barrel carburetor and has a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. This puts all power rearward to a Ford 9-inch 3.00 rear.
Undercarriage
Plenty of surface rust and some invasive rust as wells some rust repairs in fiberglass on the back of this car. The rockers have invasive rust, but not reminiscent of the exterior panels which have rust bubbling etc. Floor pans have some rust and rot present. Independent coil spring front suspension and leaf spring suspension for the rear, as well as power disc brakes up front and power drums for the back.
Drive-Ability
With the exterior in need of some work I slipped inside and gave it a crank. It idled smoothly and went into gear and gave me a nice cruise. I was warned that the front tires are severely dry rotted so to take the test drive easy. Here it ran and accelerated but several issues cropped up during my drive. Including but not limited to the power locks not functioning as well as the horn and radio not working. I also noted that it has a distinctive pull to the right under braking, and the brakes hung up and seemed to not fully release, with the brake pedal being fairly close to the floor when pressed.
Original interior, some work needed on the exterior, and undercarriage to remediate invasive rust. The front tires will need to be immediately replaced to safely drive it for any long period of time or mileage. However, a nice top and smooth runner for the Town Landau model this year only offering.

1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe Lot #149 (Sale Order 47 of 115) 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe
Your first impression when you approach this 1978 Lincoln Town Coupe' is that it’......s simply enormous. At 233" long, it rivals the biggest cars of the ‘......50s, and today anything with 127" between the wheels is a full-sized dually pickup. In fact, this car is more than 14 inches longer than a new Lincoln Navigator! But it isn’......t merely big for the sake of being big, it has style and proportion and a gothic look that has aged pretty well. These cars have enjoyed a nice uptick in values and are a mafioso's dream come true, and in 1978, if you owned one of these, you had well and truly made it to the top.
For consignment, taking up a large section of the South wing at the ever-changing Classic Auto Mall is this 1978 large and in-charge Lincoln Continental Town Coupe. With a mere 51,420 actual miles this 4956lb luxury barge has aged gracefully. A no rust car, clean undercarriage, and oodles of convenience options, you are entering the lap of luxury, only supersize me!
Exterior
A Rolls Royce-esque big chrome grille with the Lincoln star atop, hidden headlights on either side, and cathedral style signal lights at each corner we have the beginnings of a personal limousine like car, and we are only up front! A long, luscious hood, big side panels minding their gaps, plenty of side trimmings in vinyl and chrome, 2 huge access doors, a 4 bedroom apartment size trunk and a half padded vinyl top in matching white body color complete with carriage lights and Lincoln logo in the rear side glass. Rocker trim is wide and shiny, as are all other trimmings, door handles, mirrors, window surrounds, and bumpers. Speaking of wheels, big shallow dish wheels transform to a spoke pattern and have a black Lincoln badge in the center cap and are wrapped by thin white radials all around. No extensive damage to see here at all.
Interior
A swing of either of the well balanced but big doors reveals stitched cloth and leather panels, wood appliqué..., nice chrome trimmings, and a lower blue carpeted panel. A litany of power switches and toggles for door locks, seat adjustments, windows, and a rear-view mirror toggle are within the door. Having a seat inside, and I feel like I’......m at the local smoking lounge surrounded by soft luxurious wide buckets with extra pillows stitched on just for good measure. A large pillowed cloth armrest magically lowers from the center of the buckets to create an armrest for the “......lean”...... when you decide to go low and slow. A rear bench, like grandmother’......s couch stretches from rear door to door, and has the same buttoned pillows as the front as well as the armrest...smoke ‘......em if ya got ‘......em…...... The square and rectangle dash is simplistic in its design but retains luxurious looks with brushed aluminum panels and burled veneer appliqué... housing various controls, the speedometer, trip odometer, and fuel gauge. Climate controls are to the right of the steering wheel, (which is original), and a factory Ford radio is installed above the controls. Residing on top is a digital clock right out of the late 1970's. More A/C vents and a large glove box is in front of the passenger. Blue clean carpet floods the floors, and a tight headliner stretches above the passengers.
Drivetrain
A big powerful 460ci V8 engine is within a patina but clean engine bay, all original. On top is a Motorcraft 4350 4-barrel carburetor. This “......proper”...... engine is mated with a Ford C-6 select-shift 3-speed automatic transmission. A Ford 9" rear axle with 2.75 gearing puts power to the ground.
Undercarriage
Underneath is showing some surface rust on the driveshaft, rear pumpkin, and suspension. Floor pans and rockers are clean and look as if they may have been resprayed with rustproofing, however this is not verified. Power disc brakes for the front and big drums for the rear, along with the front coil suspension and rear coils with a 4 link make it stop and ride like a dream.
Drive-Ability
This car started with little effort, ran smoothly, and handled the test track with flying colors. Good acceleration, smooth shifting, and a very luxurious cruise at highway speed, where you barely know you are moving. It stopped in a straight line, and stopping power was sufficient. The whole experience was reminiscent of driving one's overstuffed couch down the freeway.
A low mileage mostly original paint car that was the height of American automaker luxury in 1978. Now you can show up in classic luxury style, turn heads, and enough seating for 6. They do not make them like this anymore, and what a kick to drive such a large car. I think I’......ll light a cigar and go for a ride to see what the little people are doing!

1965 Chevrolet Malibu Lot #150 (Sale Order 48 of 115) 1965 Chevrolet Malibu
The storied Malibu is one of those timeless designs that looks good no matter how it's built. Stock, modified, race, pro-touring, whatever; the clean lines and balanced stance on these tough classics create a confident swagger that's universally admired. That means, if you're looking to ride in style, you really can't go wrong with a Chevrolet A-Body. Plus, when you factor in this ride’......s drivetrain, tasteful modifications and first rate, all-American sheet metal, you get the picturesque profile of an incredible muscle car!
Looking at this interesting version of the 1965 Chevrolet Malibu I have shades of the late 1970's custom car show scene. Heavy metallic paint that almost changes colors before your eyes, chrome Cragar wheels, and a diamond pattern vinyl interior all come together to form this throwback classic. With all the retro going on, I feel the need to dig out my light blue double knit flare bottom slacks, Road Runner navy blue shirt and platform shoes to complete the ensemble.
Exterior
Painted with a heavy metallic red that under certain lighting shifts to a more orange hue and cannot be truly appreciated until seen in natural sunlight and is nothing like the factory ever offered. Some bubbling is noted on the exterior surfaces, and areas of previous repairs are slightly bumpy. A nicely restored horizontal ribbed grille with Chevy badge in the center has dual headlights and a shiny bumper below. As we work our way rearward, good gaps and britework are noted throughout along with more heavy metallic for the silver, gold and gray stripes on the lower body. This car is badged with the Chevrolet crossed flags and 283 designation, along with the Malibu SS badges on the rear quarters and lest we forget the frenched dual power antennas on the rear quarters. 15-inch chrome 5 spoke Cragar wheels are on all 4 corners and are wrapped with almost new 235/60R15’......s all around.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we greet custom styling with a diamond pleated white vinyl panel with metallic red steel above and smooth white vinyl below. This panel has the door actuators and window cranks as well as a white vinyl covered pull/armrest. Inside we see later model white vinyl high back bucket seats with more diamond tuck and roll pleating and smooth bolsters. Red carpeting surrounds the seats and from the middle of the hump a Hurst shift grows within the driver's reach. In back is a white vinyl bench with front seat matching diamond tuck and roll with some armrests built into the sides. More heavy red metallic steel for the inverted V style aluminum which dash drips of 60’...... bowtie styling. The original center gauge cluster, which is flanked by the speedo on wheel left, and a temp, oil, fuel and amp cluster to wheel right. An aftermarket tachometer is mounted to the column and shows between the 2 round gauges. Original pull knobs function perfectly, and a more modern styled radio is now replacing the original but appears to be slightly broken. Sitting on the top of the back seat are dual speakers. As I look around this clean red and white interior all I can hear is Bowie on the radio belting out Heros.
Drivetrain
An original fully restored engine in 350ci form is resting nicely within the restored engine bay. Nice orange/red block is now topped with an Edelbrock intake and 4bbl carburetor. Chevrolet badged chrome valve covers and air cleaner assembly have been added on for extra bling. Also, on back a Saginaw 4-speed manual transmission for just a bit more excitement. Putting power to the ground is a CA coded 10-bolt axle with a 3.08 gear ratio. All is very nicely done under this hood.
Undercarriage
Drum brakes front and rear, manual steering, and headers with Cherrybomb glasspack mufflers, can take you down the road safely and loudly. You can be secure in the fact that there is a strong frame which is showing off a mostly original undercarriage with a few prior repairs and some fresh undercoating in areas. Independent coil spring suspension is attached at the front while out back is a 4 link with coil springs.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter and on the test track it performed nicely with great acceleration and smooth shifting. All eyes were on me during my drive and the looks were certainly for the car and not yours truly as the only time people stare at me is when I spill my red wine on myself. The heater blower is inoperable as well as the radio not belting out any tunes were the only disappointments during my drive.
A good example of the ’......65 Malibu with a wild almost color changing paint job right out of 1977, a few performance upgrades, some body work which can be seen, and nice chrome and brightwork. The interior is very clean and a perfect throwback to match the paint. The engine is looking great and performs as such. Add this retro machine to your garage and you'll be a hero for more than one day!

1969 Plymouth Road Runner Hardtop Lot #151 (Sale Order 49 of 115) 1969 Plymouth Road Runner Hardtop
For consignment a well optioned 1969 Road Runner with a 383ci V8 bored and stroked to 438ci, a 4-speed,Hurst shifter, A/C, disc brakes, AM/FM, and no center console but bucket seats and a tachometer. Throw in an N96 fresh air hood, and we have a rare classic that ushered in the muscle car era and created a bar for the other manufacturers to try to meet as to toughness and reliability with the power to outrun the Po Po…......
Exterior
Medium Green Metallic AKA Avocado green which is THE color to have if you are talking pre 1970’......s shagadelic muscle car. Paint on this car is absolutely top notch as are trimmings, black vinyl top and long trunk deck and hood. Speaking of the hood, an N96 fresh air hood is on, and shows satin black stripes encompassing the dual side intake “......scoops”...... if you will, along with their 383 badging. Laser straight steel, with only 2 small areas of rust bubbling and nary even a scratch to be seen throughout with all well minded gaps. Pristine chromed bumpers frame the bottoms of the front and rear and on back a shiny exhaust pipe peek out from either side of the bottom of the rear bumper. One has to love the detail on the rear glass with its “......ogee”...... bottom window trim shape just adding some interest to the overall lines of this pretty much square and rectangle design car. Shiny 15 inch Cragar wheels are wrapped by new Mickey Thompson rubber 245’......s for the front, and 275’......s for the rear yielding a 2 inch rake to the car’......s stance.
Interior
Options are king on these early muscle cars as at this time they all cost extra money, which with the original buyer was no object. So currently, we see a mix of light and dark green vinyl mixing with some exterior body matching metal on the doors on horizontal panel breakup format along with some simple trim and pulls and cranks within this toned green field. Low back bomber style buckets are installed and a center green carpeting covered hump in lieu of a console runs between these buckets. For the back passengers a rear bench in the same color way and pattern allow for extras to go along for the ride. A Hurst shifter reaches for the driver from the center of the hump just in front of the seats and just above is the original dash showing in near perfect condition in green padded vinyl, and black textured vinyl for the background of the gauges. Gauges which include a tachometer and an aftermarket oil pressure gauge to monitor the mill while tromping on the gas pedal that feeds it. A like new vinyl headliner is above, and it has a working dome light in the center.
Drivetrain
Getting right to the heart of the matter, we fling open the hood, and are greeted by a like new engine which is not an ordinary engine….......where we see the numbers matching 383ci block rebuilt, bored and stroked to displace 438ci of Mopar V8. This had been dyno tested and maxes out at 587hp according to the dyno sheet. The mill sports Brodix aluminum heads and a Holley 850cfm 4 BBL carburetor which is feeding air and fossils through an Edelbrock intake. Lighting the fire within is a new Pertronix Flamethrower II distributor and our consignor notes that jet changes to the carb with #74 on the primary and #80 on the secondary were recently done. A new alternator was installed in 2021 along with new spark plugs and new valve cover gaskets. An A833 numbers matching 4-speed manual transmission with a McLeod 10-inch twin disc steel clutch is on back and it pushes power rearward to an 8-3/4 inch 3.55 sure grip rear axle. Seen installed are TTI headers on this beautifully presenting engine.
Undercarriage
Not to be outdone by the topside, the undercarriage goes along for the show too with Medium Green Metallic painted frame, floor pans and rockers. A new fuel tank is now installed, and amazingly the stamped undercarriage panels are painted as nicely as the topside in the Medium Metallic Green (avocado). We note power disc brakes bolted to the independent torsion bar front suspension and in the back are power drums with traditional leaf springs.
Drive-Ability
A fight nearly broke out as to who was going to test drive this beauty and I lost! So, my cohort decoder and muscle car madman took the ride and reported back with a smile on his face. Rarely does this duo draw straws for the driver's seat, but I knew he was impressed. He confided in me he loved it’......s handling, acceleration, overall performance, commenting it was all buttoned up, and all working and in order as things should be for such a good looker. I noted a rear glass that has been just a bit scratched but in the overall scheme of things insignificant.
The high point of muscle car madness with a super quality build then a 10 year old restoration that was that good it still holds up great. A modified power plant, many performance extras inside and bolted on, and all looking showroom new. Get in

Rolls Royce has a long history of accommodating the well-heeled buyer by providing the chassis and drivetrain to a customer, and that customer goes to a custom coach builder and orders exactly the car they want. We have a few examples of this at the Classic Auto Mall. A hand-built car built to the precise specifications and individual requirements.
For consignment, a car with some serious history, and a wonderful example of truly custom coach building. This car started out life with its original owner taking delivery with it being a Sedanca DeVille, (Open chauffeur cockpit, and an enclosed rear passenger compartment), where it has 100K miles clocked on it. After the world war, it was converted to a hearse, and logged another 100K miles. After this point, it was converted to a caravan, where it took passengers to Moscow, toured China, and the continent logging another 120K miles. At 44 years old at the 320K mile mark it was re-bodied as a Dual Cowl Phaeton.
Exterior
This current coachwork was the result of a collaboration between the coach builder Dick Brockman, (well known for his polished copper bodied Rolls, and one of the last great Coach builders of his era), and architect Charles Lawrence. Lawrence provided Brockman with an entire sketchbook of highly detailed drawings as to exactly what he envisioned the perfect Rolls-Royce to be, and Brockman took those interpretations and produced the beautifully proportioned vehicle you see here before you today. A dual cowl, meaning a bulkhead along with a second windshield that separated the driver from the passengers, configuration bathed in beautiful cream paint with chocolate fenders and a tan canvas top and all open to the elements on the sides. Upfront the essential chromed grille with radiator surround topped with a “......Spirit of Ecstasy'' winged goddess, is flanked by a single large round headlight on either side, and 2 additional fog lights residing just above the front simple curved chromed bumper. Beautifully proportioned chocolate color covered fenders with a signal light at their peak, roll gently downward to a running board which cozies up with the rear fender leading to the back of this saloon. These fenders frame cream colored 20 inch steel wire wheels and wrapped in 7.00-20 wide white sidewall tires. A long, long cowled hood stretches rearward from the front grille and leads us to the front windshield with beautiful polished framing. As this hood travels rearward, it passes a strapped on spare tire on either side all matching the cream wire wheels and wide white sidewalls, neatly tucked into each fender. A searchlight is mounted to the right hand driver’......s side. Between the passenger and drivers compartment is the metal cowl of this car’......s namesake along with another windscreen. On the back, a beautifully crafted wood and stainless-steel trunk is mounted to a rack providing plenty of storage space. Paint is as excellent as the detailing of this car, and just the sketchbook is worth the price of admission as you peruse the details which play out in reality on this one-off Rolls-Royce.
Interior
A simple tuck and roll curved leather covered bench in saddle brown and also in near perfect condition offers plenty of room for the driver. A solid mahogany dash with a polished chromed central instrument cluster and fabulous gauges of the era, resides within this dash. The large right hand drive steering wheel is black bakelite and a few other knobs and pulls are in front of this wheel. Some more saddle leather covers the sides of the toe kicks and goes well with the brown carpeting in front. In back for the owners, is another curved tuck and roll bench and when the rear cowl is lifted one can note the miles of legroom this rear compartment offers up. More brown carpeting for the expansive floor, and all door panels and sides are covered in saddle leather. The rear cowl can be left up or lowered for more of a tucked in feel for the passengers. All this compartment is covered with the tan canvas top which has a beautifully executed framing of wood, and polished steel along with some cream stretchers going across the top.
Drivetrain
A lift of either side of the hood and we can see a fully restored 468.14ci inline 6-cylinder engine. It has a 1-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission. Our decoder states the engine and transmission are original although restored/reworked many times over its lifetime. A wonderful presentation under this long hood.
Undercarriage
Underneath all fully restored and neatly painted black. There is some minor chip off of the paint noted at the back of the fuel tank. Wonderful leaf springs are covered in leather gaiters to protect them from the elements. These springs are on all 4 corners. Mechanical drum brakes are also on all wheels and a stock style and wonderfully custom fashioned exhaust system makes its way rear

1928 Stutz BB Boattail Speedster Lot #153 (Sale Order 51 of 115) For your consideration and our consignment, we have a 1928 Stutz BB Boattail Speedster. With its minimalist body said to be the work of Gordon Buehrig, in its day it cost $5,000.00. This car features several Art Deco details, including a “......Ra”...... sun god hood ornament and an elaborate Egyptian design on the instrument cluster. And of course, the boat tail back of the car which had this sports car of the day nearly 1,500 lbs. lighter than its predecessor the Bearcat. At this time, it was indeed the fastest production car in the world and nearly won the LeMans world title finishing 2nd to a Bentley that year.
Exterior
Formally known and referred to as the Blackhawk speedster, this beautiful 2 door coupe convertible is bathed in a light coffee, (tan), steel body and dark coffee, (brown), fenders and the lack of a running board for weight saving. The rockers are wide and also present in dark coffee. Upfront a chromed grille covering wraps the radiator behind and sports the “......Ra”...... Sun god hood ornament/radiator cap. Big round headlights along with smaller high beam running lights just below appear to float in front of the grille and just above the dual flat bar chromed bumper below. A long cowled hood runs to the driver and passenger compartment which has a tan canvas convertible top protecting the seats from the elements. On the rectangular angled rearward front windshield surround is a searchlight, and on either side of the firewall cowl are chromed rear view mirrors. Also attached to the hood cowling is a red painted steel wire spare tire and wheel which is on both sides, and these are belted on to this car. Under the doors is a step to aid in getting what was considered at the time a low slung car! On back is the iconic boattail trunk which has panels on either side that curve downward and help support the boat tail as well as the dark coffee rear rounded fenders. This boattail contains a single seat, but the view is obscured by the trunk lid which opens up from rear to front, so this passenger is not provided with a room with a view. Another dual flat chromed bar bumper is on back and a single flared tip exhaust pipe is peeking out from underneath this bumper. For the wire wheels which are on all 4 corners and painted in a beautiful blazing red are 19-inch steel wires and rims are wrapped on thin treaded tires. Overall paint is still shiny and does show some chips mostly at the seams. This car was completed on its restoration journey in 2011 which is when the painting happened.
Interior
A swing of the low profile doors shows a brown leather stitched panel housing the door actuator lever and a pull bar. This car has no windows so there are no cranks. A small clasped storage area on the bottom of this panel is on, and offers some extra space. Inside an overstuffed smooth supple leather bench seat runs from door to door, and it has seat belts installed which are obviously aftermarket. A beautiful total wood steering wheel with a metal center hub fronts the restored true wood dash with a light coffee dash top. Within the instrument cluster in the center, which is brass with carved ivy leaves embossed within its confines, and an Art Deco Egyptian goddess profile if you look closely between the leaves. Round white faced gauges which have aged gracefully show nicely and are embedded onto this brass plate. Just below this squared off oval is a Stutz winged badge with the number 8 underneath the wings. Nice thick pile brown carpeting is covering the floors and within this brown field is a leather booted long shift lever and chromed handbrake. Looking upward we see a wood frame for the convertible top, with some metal hinges which help the top operate smoothly, although manually.
Drivetrain
A lift of either side of the long front cowl, reveals a machinists dream with an all polished metal valve cover, stainless steel exhaust manifold and some brass piping running about for the brake fluid. This is a 298.64 ci Inline 8-cylinder with a single overhead cam. This old mill produces 115hp @ 3,600rpm. On back is a 3-speed non synchro gearbox, and there is a 1.5 inch dual choked 1-barrel bronze Shebler carburetor. Also on is twin coil dual plug ignition which can be used as a backup if the first system should fail in any way.
Undercarriage
The completed restoration took place in 2011 and was performed by Lee Duran. Within this 131 inch wheelbase are nicely painted brown components: tank, suspension, rear axle, and framing arches. Wood floor pans are in beautiful condition not even showing any contact with water. Leaf spring suspension is all around as well as drum brakes which are Lockheed hydraulic. A worm gear rear drive is on to spin the back tires.
Drive-Ability
This car fired up and idled smoothly once warmed up. Performance was as expected from the inline 8. All functions were simplistic and working perfectly.
Plenty of ohhhhh’......s and

1962 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster Lot #154 (Sale Order 52 of 115) 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster
With the creative influences of such incredible engineering talents as Edward Cole, Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell behind it, the C1 Corvette had emerged as an American classic, but one that was ready to undergo a transformation into something completely new and exciting. The 1962 model year represents the end of an era for the Chevrolet Corvette. Over the course of ten years, the Corvette had evolved from Harley Earl’......s conceptual two-seat sports car –...... a car that was initially plagued with design and performance deficiencies –...... into a vehicle that rivaled sports cars around the world with an unabashed reputation for performance and fun.
Starting out life as a street racer, this 1962 Corvette came upon some misfortune by being wrecked during a race. The original owner fixed the body, and ran out of cash, so the car sat until 1975. Another Corvette aficionado purchased the car and all its parts and had intended to finish the job. Time passed, and fast forward to 2000, where our consigner struck a deal and again transferred all the parts to his garage where he set off to a 3 year restoration. An all original numbers matching car, color changed to silver, but all original interior and low low original miles (25,460).
Exterior
A change from Ermine White, to Sateen Silver now drapes the total fiberglass exterior of this car which up front looks like the past, and on back like the future. The fiberglass shows no sign of repair and is all buttoned up on the gap minding front. Chrome for the bumpers and trim remains mirror-like and shiny no dimples or rust. Dual headlights frame a long fiberglass front hinged hood, with all correct badging and crossed flags. A wrap around windshield is trimmed with beautiful chrome and above is a white canvas convertible top, which shows just a few smudges and wear, but the rear plastic is clear. Operation is smooth on the up and down, and it tucks neatly into a fiberglass molded cove behind the dual buckets. The “......Corvette cove”...... is seen running from the front quarter, through the door panels, and has a chromed trim spear venting just behind the front wheel well. A nice anodized aluminum rocker cover complete with horizontal ribs stretches from wheel well to wheel well. The future is seen with the back of the car now taking on the Sting Ray look. This would be the last model with a trunk as such until a special edition in 1982, and a similar version showing back up on the C5 model in 1998. Knock off wheel covers are brightly presenting wrapped by thin white band Goodyear Club tires.
Interior
Simply gorgeous deep deep red floods the interior in vinyl and leather panels, coverings, and carpeting. Chrome trimmings for the doors and handles are near perfect and all functional. Seats are all original and bend with the curve of the interior shell, which has a central storage compartment and a button to open the rear cowl for the top storage. A big red 3 spoked drilled stainless steering wheel front a great dash that sports molded deep cowl red surrounding silver and black face round gauges, clustered around an arched speedometer as its star. Just a great looking dash, and when behind the wheel, you’......ll feel like you are piloting the Millennium Falcon! For the passenger is a full on inwardly curved cove with a built on “......Jesus”...... bar. A new digital radio emulating the original is in the center of the dash, and just above is the cool dash mounted rear view mirror. A central vertical panel dives downward from the dash and houses the airflow controls and a clock. The shifter is in a chromed panel complete with an ashtray, and stain free near showroom carpet covers the floors. Its red and has a peppering of black loops throughout.
Drivetrain
Though technically the same engine block as the 283, the smaller engine was bored and stroked to bring its cylinder dimensions to 4.00 x 3.25 inches and it’......s displacement up to 327 cubic inches. Gone forever from the 1962 (and all future models) Corvette was the troublesome twin four-barrel Carter carburetors. These were replaced by a more powerful, single four-barrel Carter carburetor. A 4-speed manual transmission is strapped behind this engine, and reminder all are numbers matching. A 3.70:1 rear axle provides quick starting off the line and is also original to this car.
Undercarriage
Wonderfully preserved, all original suspension, steering and drum brakes all around, no rust seen, and just beautifully restored from the frame off.
Drive-Ability
Behind the wheel one feels like a touch of class is presenting to them with the long tasteful dual headlight front leading the way. This car started immediately, and after a short warm up, it was off to the test track. It handles very well, accelerates with plenty of power, and comes to a straight quick panic stop. All functions were working well, and it was an overall great ex

1997 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe Lot #155 (Sale Order 53 of 115) 1997 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe
For consignment, a second year Gen 2 1997 version of the Dodge Viper in GTS form...meaning more horsepower, more luxury and less weight and with the V-10 it now puts out 456hp to tear up any road you may want to carve through hill and dale. ... Only the same year’......s Porsche 911 Turbo is quicker, but this one has more luxury and features. ... A mere 5,013 title verified miles clocked on this 3 owner garage kept beauty and it's definitely like new with aftermarket ...exhaust and a billet power steering pulley. ... Read on!
Exterior
Fiberglass with reinforced plastic is sculpted to create the sexy curvaceous body which is truly all racer. ... From the chin spoiler to the mid grille air dam, to the front of the car that curves upward to the long GTS hood with a small air intake in the center, aero head lighting open for all to see on either side of front quarters, along with fog lights in the round on the front corners it's all moving while standing still. ... Some shark gills are on top of the front quarters ...to keep the brakes and engine cool, and a cove is created by those front quarters for the doors, just above a wide rocker which creates the thresh-holds. ... A wonderfully rounded roofline melts into greenhouse glass which flies upward on the tail to make a rear spoiler. ... Careful, the rear tire is right there under the B pillar which melts into the rear quarters that eventually curve around to form the back of the sports car which have the ubiquitous curved tail lighting for all Vipers from their inception. ... A body matching neoprene bumper and dual central located exhaust tips under the rear roll pan peek out from under the wide stripes which are running the gamut of the car. ... This model bathed in fully ceramic coated Viper Blue Pearl with white painted stripes, it’......s all over for the exterior, but it ends in race car greatness, as it appears ready for the track sans the number on the side. ... A clear bra has been applied on the nose and rocker panels for extra protection and the only fault to note in the finish is a twin scuff and chip off of the paint at the front lower on the driver's door. ... This is due to an over-extension of the door stop. ... All this rides on 17-inch polished 5 spoke wheels wrapped in the factory 275/40ZR17’......s in front, and 335/35ZR17’......s in back.
Interior
Several sacrificial animal hides are applied throughout this interior with its sporty high back curvaceous black leather buckets that are flanked by a wide center console. ... The design utilizes seamless construction of this console to melt into the dash in front where climate controls, an AM/FM/CD stereo and on top a 4 count of white faced round gauges to keep your eyes on the vitals of the engine. ... In front of the driver are more white faced round gauges deeply unset into a crescent molded dash top that has a few digital readout clusters of warning lights. ... A leather wrapped rally style steering wheel reaches for the driver frontage of this dash. ... Black carpeting floods the floors, and above is a black headliner. ... The doors are completely molded for a clean sleek look and are also in black.
Drivetrain
Stuffed under the forward hinged hood is a massive red headed V-10 8.0 liter mill. ... It has EFI and a T56 6-speed manual transmission. ... Rear tires are spun by a 3.07 Viper rear axle. ... All very clean and very powerful with a touch of dress up in the form of a billet power steering pulley. ... For the purists, the original pulley is included.
Undercarriage
Nearly like the showroom with just a few scuffs on the underside of the front fascia, just plenty of straight structural steel and cast aluminum suspension which includes independent coil springs for front and rear. ... Power disc brakes are all around, and a like new dual Berlanger cat-back exhaust its snaking its way to the back of the car. ... Again, for the purists in the room, the original exhaust is included with your purchase.
Drive-Ability
Very seductive, I slipped inside and popped the clutch and was off like a flash to the test track. ... Here it had me falling in love with its rail-like handling, neck snapping acceleration, and ease of operation with surprising comfort and plenty of options to keep me occupied. ... All in perfect working condition. ... Definitely an E ticket ride.
Inspired by Peter Brock’......s Daytona Cobra Coupe, this 2nd year Gen 2 GTS is a throwback to the 60’......s, with its twin stripped exterior, luscious curves and V10 power, right down to the gas filler cap cleverly disguised as a racing fuel filler hinged version. ...1 of a mere 1,671 versions built, 3 owners and low low original miles, it's worth a look, and then some as it is virtually a new car ripe for the picking from our Hallowed Halls here at Classic Auto Mall.

1980 Triumph TR8 Roadster Lot #156 (Sale Order 54 of 115) 1980 Triumph TR8 Roadster
As an astute TR fan, owner (a TR-6 and TR-250) I remember when the last of the TR series was being introduced as “......The Shape of Things To Come”...... that being the wedge shape. The TR7 sold more examples than the entire TR series history combined, so it was a real hit. Problem was it was nagged with engine problems and somewhat lackluster performance, so in a last gasp effort British Leyland made the final leap to the TR8.
For consignment, a rare example due to numbers of a mere 2,346 actually being built, we give you the Triumph TR8. This would be the last of the TR’......s but definitely the best, as to power reliability, and overall quality of construction. Trouble was they got it right and only 2,346 were made! This example survives and is very much alive and kicking with its 3.5 Rover V8, dual Stromberg SCDSET carbs and not a speck of rust. Reading on will definitely show you the shape of things to come!
Exterior
A wonderful repaint of Midas Gold now covers the straight steel panels of this wedged car. Hidden headlights and an integrated bumper lets you slice your way through the air, all the while looking sporty doing it. A steeply raked rearward windscreen picks up where the bonnet leaves off and frames the passenger compartment with plenty of room even with the vinyl convertible top up. Speaking of which it is in black and has clear rear plastic windows, and I might add folds nice and smoothly into the rear cowl. In back the trunk is nice and smooth, and lower back we see a large black crash bumper protects the rear of the car and shows dual exhaust tips sneaking a look out from underneath. 13-inch 8 square spoke magnesium racing wheels are on all 4 corners, and are wrapped with like new radials.
Interior
A swing of the door and I can only ask “......Shall we shag now or shall we shag later?!”...... with the groovy multiple warm tone woven plaid pattern surrounded by butterscotch vinyl on the door panels. Black knobs and flush mounted door openers are mounted here as well, along with the obligatory ash tray courtesy light and stereo speaker. Slipping inside more “......groovy baby”...... plaid insert buckets with butterscotch bolsters and high backs with headrests. Decidedly British with the color and pattern. The dash has been well thought out and has the iconic Smiths instruments peppering the cluster. An aftermarket Sony AM/FM/Cassette stereo head unit is in the central console as well as temp and fan control sliders, and the leather booted shift lever cover. More butterscotch padded sides to this console, and a padded glovebox cover which doubles as an armrest shared by the passengers. Gold carpet in nice clean condition floods the floors, and the original tri metal spoke steering wheel is fronting the dash.
Drivetrain
Engine Type: OHV V-8, cast-aluminum block and cylinder heads, cast-iron crankshaft…...... Displacement: 3.5 liters Bore x stroke: 88.9mm x 71.12mm Compression ratio: 8.1:1 Horsepower @ RPM: 137 @ 5,000 Torque @ RPM: 174-lbs.ft. @ 3,000 Valvetrain: Self-adjusting hydraulic valve lifters Main bearings.

Drive-Ability
I felt I had enough swag to slip into the shag zone and so I did! It fired right up with a thunderous deep throated roar, and after a slight warmup, was off like a palace guard at quitting time. The test track revealed neck snapping acceleration, awesome rail-like handling, smooth fast straight panic braking, and even a comfortable low RPM quiet cruise at highway speeds. A/C was working, but I put the top down, and was off to the races. A truly wonderful British sports car experience, totally different from my earlier version TR’......s.
All in all a real performer, great looker and last and best version of the venerable TR series. Also, I’......d call it a rare bird with a mere 2,346 made, this one is all buttoned up and ready to turn the key and hav

1974 Porsche 914 Lot #157 (Sale Order 55 of 115) 1974 Porsche 914
By the late 1960s, both Volkswagen and Porsche were in need of new models; Porsche was looking for a replacement for their entry-level 912, and Volkswagen wanted a new range-topping sports coupe to replace the Karmann Ghia. At the time, the majority of Volkswagen's developmental work was handled by Porsche, part of a setup that dated back to Porsche's founding; Volkswagen needed to contract out one last project to Porsche to fulfill the contract and decided to make that project. Ferdinand Pië...ch, who was in charge of research and development at Porsche, was put in charge of the 914 project. Originally intending to sell the vehicle with a flat four-cylinder engine as a Volkswagen and with a flat six-cylinder engine as a Porsche, Porsche decided during development that having Volkswagen and Porsche models sharing the same body would be risky for business in the American market, and convinced Volkswagen to allow them to sell both versions as Porsches in North America. On March 1, 1968, the first 914 prototype was presented. 914/6 sold quite poorly while the much less expensive 914/4 became Porsche's top seller during its model run, outselling the Porsche 911 by a wide margin with over 118,000 units sold worldwide.
For consignment, the joint venture between Porsche and VW in the form of a 1974 Porsche 914. Combining the styling cues from Porsche and the simple engine mechanicals from Volkswagen we have not only a visual but also a mechanical winner. A mid engine powerplant offers good balance for spirited driving and the aero design keeps everyone staring as does the blinding yellow paint. Throw in hidden headlights and a targa roof design and we have a proven winner. This Porsche recently had a new Rotary A/C system with all supporting parts installed plus a full A-Z mechanical once over and even has its Porsche certificate of authenticity.
Exterior
A fine rust-free example of the 914 here bathed in the original Sunflower Yellow hue with stainless steel and black accenting throughout. Its low profile, boxy styled body has straight steel with nicely minded gaps. Hidden headlights are upfront along with some running lights in the lower bumper/grille. A black fiberglass targa style removable center top is seen, and it fits between a mildly raked windscreen and a large black B pillar on top of the slightly sloping downward rear deck. The rear valance shows in the same black that encircles the lower part of this smooth body. Bringing up the tail end is the chrome and black trimmed rear bumper, (this would be the final year for chrome bumpers on the 914 as the 1975 and 76 model years came equipped with heavy rubber covered units), with its mandated black rubber bumperettes. This boxy little sports car is nicely presenting with very clean Mahle wheels and newer 185/75HR15 blackwall rubber.
Interior
Simple black vinyl covered doors with an inset actuating handle greet us prior to stepping inside. Once there we sit in German styled high back bucket seats which are a fairly flat design and incorporate tuck and roll leatherette inserts in black. These buckets sit in a sea of black carpeting with black carpeted floor mats on top. The original dash is sitting in front awaiting its driver to get up and go! There is an aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette radio within this original dash, and we can also note the litany of gauges for the driver to keep a mindful eye on during those corner carving sessions. All black and all nicely presenting.
Drivetrain
Just behind the passengers, for even weight distribution, sits an air cooled numbers matching 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine topped with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection. A 5-speed manual transmission with a new clutch kit is on back and a 4.429 final drive is formulating the rear axle.
Undercarriage
Structurally sound and rust free with just a coating of chassis black to lock in the surface patina. Disc brakes are upfront, and matching discs for the rear with independent suspension upfront and independent MacPherson struts on back. A very honest presenting car underneath!
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, smooth runner and good accelerator. Handling and braking were excellent, and it was a fun throwback for this writer who first drove a 914 to learn how to drive with a clutch way back in 1975. All functions were operational during my drive and the A/C even blew cold. The A/C is a very desirable option on these.
This 1974 version of the 914 seen with no rust and well cared for with its COA from Porsche, numbers matching engine and folder of service records is the holy grail of 914's. The "Hell Hole" on this 914 is excellent as well so don't fret. So, if you are one of those who do follow, this one deserves a close look. It's the one of the very few I’......ve seen here during my storied (sic) career here at Classic Auto Mall.

It fired right up and off to the test track where I did no 4 wheeling, but experienced good handling, solid braking and nice smooth acceleration. ...All these convenience buttons were in working order save for the driver's rear door window regulator not wanting to make the window go up and down. ...

1976 Lohr FL500 Fardier Lot #159 (Sale Order 57 of 115) Proudly presented to you, and probably the only time you'll ever get the opportunity to see one in the flesh, er...steel, a 1976 Lohr FL500 Fardier. Believed to have been originally assigned to the French Foreign Legion, (due to FFLA livery and paint colors found during the restoration), then acquired by John Delorean of Delorean Motor Car fame for testing and promotional films for the DMC Model 44, (videos are available on YouTube under DMC44 small off-road project). After testing and filming was wrapped up in California, the FL500 was sent to the 433 acre Lamington Farms Estate in Bedminster, NJ, (now Trump International Golf Course), for touring and light work duties. Delorean commissioned Oldwick Garage to perform repairs and upon John's passing the garage took ownership in lieu of payment. From there the vehicle was passed to Tewksbury Balloons and purchased by our consignor in 2018. An open checkbook restoration was performed using all OEM and new parts. Just a splendid presentation for this not oft seen machine.
***Please note, this vehicle is sold on a BILL OF SALE only***
Exterior
Simple, basic, utilitarian....words that describe this not oft seen beauty. With its near perfectly applied coating of Desert Tan paint over a steel tubular body/chassis, this "mule" is ready to work. Surrounding the body is a tubular steel frame with a texture desert tan finish which does an excellent job of protecting the wedge shaped fiberglass nose. This frame tubing flows around the front and creates heavy duty bumpers to protect the wedge shaped fiberglass nose and within this nose we see Lohr embossing, yellow driving lights as well as outboard signal lamps. Down low is a winch to help you get out of a tight spot and tiedown/lifting hooks are noted welded to the bumpers. Simple fiberglass splash shields hang down from the frame on the sides and we note decals for different campaigns in Africa and the French Foreign Legion logo. Rounding out the rear are basic tan slit covered tail lights as well as a pintle style hitch for hauling your 120mm Thomson Brandt mortar launcher through the urban jungle. Slotted tan steel wheels keep this mini rig on the ground and are wrapped in like new 205/70R15 off-road radials.
Interior
A virtual candy store for your eyes with no doors to swing open, no roof to block your view and no glass to clean. Simple diamond plate makes up the flooring for the majority of this rig with the driver positioned in the left front corner. A simple tan vinyl bucket seat provides room for the driver and while not plush and luxurious, it is functional and quite comfy. Fronting the dash is a nearly vertical steering wheel in black plastic and we see the brake master cylinder right in front of the tan column. Dash central holds the large black face speedometer and smaller round supporting gauges along with a few toggles and push buttons. To the right of the driver is the all black shifter and twin parking brake handles. Further over is a flip up plate that allows access to the battery area and small stowage compartment. A simple roll bar has been speced on to protect the driver in case things go awry and there is plenty of room on the diamond plate deck to haul ammunition, troops or wounded soldiers. Lift hooks are noted on the corners should you want to be airlifted in or out of the battle zone/local traffic jam.
Drivetrain
Non conventional by far, but durable. A rust free tan tubular frame provides the backbone for this truck...er...car...er mule. Under the rear platform we see a Citroen 2CV horizontally opposed 2 cylinder air cooled gas engine coming in at 600cc. This 29hp mill is fed by a 1bbl carburetor and mounted directly behind is a 4-speed manual transmission which sends power to both the front and rear axles.
Undercarriage
Off road capable with its high body and outward mounted wheels. More tan covers the chassis and we note inboard disc brakes both fore and aft. Suspension is of the swing arm variety front and rear and are connected to centrally mounted spring units situated longitudinally between the front and rear wheels. The steering is non-power assist and uses a standard Citroen 2CV rack and pinion.
Drive-Ability
Now for the part you've all been waiting for....Maistro, cue up Eugé...nie please. A quick starter and smooth idler here folks, I carefully situated myself behind the wheel and found the seating position to be rather high up, similar to that of a big rig but nonetheless comfortable and adequate for my ample frame. My crack decoder and partner in crime decided to forgo a ride along and he mumbled something about him falling off whilst I envisioned myself dodging enemy fire...but I digress. The ride is surprisingly smooth for a military vehicle, the turning circle is small, and braking is adequate. I didn't attempt the factory rated top speed of 36mph nor did I attempt the official figures of departure and approach angles of 90

Interior
Pop open the doors and you are met with a nice combination of striking wood, straight flat design, and classy but very slightly worn with time leather buckets up front. ...

For consignment, a personal car, as dubbed by Ford, 2-seater adult getaway vehicle. ... This would be the last year for a good while for this two seat configuration, and is widely thought to be the best year of the first generation T bird. ...

Exterior
When you pen a thin bodied, long hood with a chrome trimmed edge scoop in its middle, and throw in canted tail fins, make it a 2 seater car, add on some jet age styling for the taillights, a convertible top in blue canvas, add on fender skirts, a wraparound windshield, and some chromed trimmings, you have ... one helluva car and it happens to be THIS car! ...

This car rolls on 14-inch turbine style bullet center capped and chromed wheels and their coverings. ... All corners are wrapped in 7.50-14's in wide white wall trim for your viewing pleasure. ... Mmmmm, mmmmmm good!
Interior
Swing the door and be met with two tone Dresden and Starmist Blue vinyl panels that have no idea what a straight line is as to their design. ... The blues mix with machined swirl pattern aluminum inserts for the actuator. ... A long padded armrest in smooth dark blue vinyl stretches across the mid door, and below is a shiny window crank. ... For the dash a big curved overhanging cowl in padded blue vinyl for the topper hovers above more machined aluminum and a litany of round gauges and chrome bezel black knobs and pulls. ... Even more machined aluminum is installed for the radio delete panel and as we gaze across this big padded curved top dash we can note temp, fan controls, and a nearly hidden glove box, but the deeply inset keyhole gives it away. ... A metal lower dash also in painted Dresden Blue and some blue vinyl covered kick side panels accentuated by deep pile teal blue carpet can be seen covering the floors. ... An original steering wheel, clean as a whistle, and you will be left awestruck, when you slip into the overstuffed two tone Starmist blue tuck and roll insert and smooth Dresden Blue bolstered curved full bench seat vinyl bench seat that envelops the passengers when inside.

Great handler, smooth shifter, quick bias free stopping with those drums, and all was functioning awesomely. ... We did note that the top can be folded down, but the paint coating on the top frame does not allow it to fully fold and tuck behind the seat. ...
1957 never looked so good with this beautifully restored and meticulously cared for Bird. ... Very few criticisms for this car where a nice job has been performed everywhere, even underneath. (Remember I said every nut and bolt was off). ... If you are in the market for a cla

1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom Sport Coupe Lot #166 (Sale Order 63 of 115) 1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom Sport Coupe
For consignment, a 1967 version of the Tempest that represents in my opinion one of the nicest design years in the history of this car. With its split front grille, Pontiac “......beak”...... breaking it up, dual stacked headlights, sleek rear with integrated triple threat taillights and along with a clean interior and black vinyl top, this example is a keeper.
Exterior
Montreux Blue is the theme here with these light blue steel panels in slight coke bottle lines for the sides, but it’......s only the beginnings of said design, so it is subtle. Stacked dual vertical headlights are flanking a dual opening small beaked grille, which will also grow as the years go by. Within the grille are groupings of 4 vertical chromed rib units that stretch across in a black background. The signal lights are just below in a smaller air opening. A nice shiny bumper is below, and above begins the hood line with a dual opening whale nasal-esque hood scoop. Along the sides are well minded gaps and a belt line white pinstripe which borrows from the black vinyl top which presents in rust free condition. A fair amount of previous Bondo repairs are noted underneath, particularly on the rockers and lower quarters especially behind the wheel wells. A wide stainless steel strip is running the length of the car highlighting the rockers. Panels under this rocker have suffered from invasive rust and are sawtoothed. A few other small dents and dings are noted which were present for the new respray. Some shark-like gills are hovering in the rear quarters. A black vinyl top is on and has some flying buttress like wings framing the rear glass and landing on the trunk deck prior to the trunk lid. On the back, the large trunk lid sweeps rearward to the rear panel which houses a trio of lined up tail lights reminiscent of the Impala. A clean shiny bumper is below and wraps around the rear quarters just slightly. 14-inch Pontiac Rally II wheels are wrapped with like new raised white letter BFG radial T/A’......s from 2014. The car has a wonderful aggressive stance and is truly a muscle adaptation taken on from its earlier predecessors.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we are greeted with black molded vinyl with dual horizontal ribbed panels on each door, some mid badging and the cranks and levers with an armrest. Looking inside we see more black vinyl Strato buckets with low headrests. These chairs show slight wear and the drivers seat has some damage on the mid upper as well at the outside corner of the seat/headrest area. In back is a solid bench with the same coverings as the front, this time with no arm rest. Racing up the center of the buckets is a futuristic wood appliqué... and thin chrome edge trimmed console. It houses a lockable glovebox and the shifter which takes its design cues from the Seattle Space Needle. As it dives below the dash it runs into a duo of aftermarket gauges in a shiny bezeled panel below the dash. As for the dash, it is all original and has beautiful wood appliqué... in the dash front and all the circular multi gauge and light along with a sweep speedometer in blackface inset within the dash front highlighted with shiny thin bezels. A lineup of knobs and pulls is under these gauges, and Pontiac is famous for using the under the dash top switches and dials handing under the upper dash overhang. Above the center and console on the dash front, are some air vents, temp sliders and a newer AM/FM digital radio. Black steel takes over for the passenger’......s side and it shows well with a glovebox and some badging and futuristic looking eyeball air vents. Black carpeting, which is very clean, is covering the floors and above a tight black headliner in vinyl is looking great. A shout out to the trunk with its felted coverings for the spare and other surfaces, as well as a vinyl liner which is from the factory.
Drivetrain
Under the scooped hood is a 326ci V8 and it is original to this car. It is painted in the correct steel blue and has a single Quadrajet 800cfm carburetor, which resides under a chromed round open air cleaner. The valve covers are also chromed. Also seen are some slight surface rusted parts such as the exhaust manifold, and the brake reservoir. Power is sent thru a TH350 3-speed automatic and back to a 10-bolt rear. An overall patina nicely aged is seen throughout the engine bay.
Undercarriage
Mounted to the rear is the undercoated factory fuel tank, and this sits within a surface rusted environment, especially on the usual suspects, ie suspension and exterior areas of the floorpans. The rockers and edges of the underbody are rusted and have rough edges. Independent coil springs provide the front suspension, and a 4 link with coil springs for the back suspension.

A wonderful wraparound front glass, curved roofline which is fully encased in chrome edge trimmings and the sweep spear to end all sweep spears, this car drips 50’......s styling inside and outside. ... This would be the nearing the ...final year for Desoto, but it went out in style!
Exterior
We give you 221 inches of retro styled, Bahama Blue painted Detroit iron peppered with shiny large chrome, and plenty of it. ... Starting with the massive front bumper with two tiers of chromed beauteous styling, a thin horizontal grille above and flanking dual dual headlights with an eyebrow visor which goes on to create the front quarter panel top and sides. ... A lazy V shaped long hood with a D E S O T O badge in its front end runs rearward to the front wraparound glass. ... Some shiny gun sights are atop the front quarters as well as a side view mirror in front of the glass. ...

The wonderfully curved roofline is housing plenty of chrome trimmed glass and a semi wrapped around rear glass, again with more chrome edging. ...The NYC two bedroom size trunk is nestled between those fins which have a trio of Dixie cup styled tail lights lining up with its vertical rise on back. ... Another large and in-charge rear bumper, looking like it could be the front grille, resides on the back and has dual exhaust tips peeking out of the rear bottom. ... A departure from this mid century masterpiece of wretched excess, we see American Racing Outlaw wheels wrapped in 235/70R15 rubber. ... A set of wide white Coker classics with Desoto hubcaps is also available and comes with the car so you can go low and slow or add a bit of hot rod spice. ... ...

Noted is the gold “......Firedome”...... badging on the middle upper of the back bench in grandmother’......s handwriting. ... These chairs float in a sea of dark blue carpeting. ... To the dash, which could be the interior of the Buck Rogers spaceship, with its curved speedo encasing with large round bezel inserts just below. ...

Cushy independent torsion bar front suspension, and rear leaf springs provide the ride for this massive look into the future from 1959.
Drive-Ability
From this extensive expressive description I guess you can tell what is my fav era of automotive design? ...Well I could not pass this test drive up and did so with a big smile on my face. ... The car ran great, was an easy driver and solid stopper with lumbering but stable handling, and at 1.5 tons it has some pep. ... The AC blows warm but all else is in perfect working condition. ... ...
Not a perfect car by any means, it has its share of wear and tear, but certainly a fine piece of futuristic excessive styling from the late 50’......s. ... It can be worked and cleaned to make it a trailer queen or left to its devices and it will turn heads either way. ... Excuse me while I pull into my carport under my butterfly roof house….......

1926 Pontiac Hill Climb Speedster Lot #171 (Sale Order 67 of 115) 1926 Pontiac Boat Tail Speedster
There’......s a reason the hill climb was one of the earliest forms of motor vehicle racing: Competition doesn’......t get much simpler. All you need is a hill (duh), a handful of competitors with cars and sympathetic local authorities. Race up to the top one by one, then see who did it the fastest. That’......s about all there is to it.
Starting life as a two door sedan produced early in 1926, the first year of Pontiac production, the car was sold by McRorie-Sautter, a Utica, New York dealer. The owner had the car for only a short time when an accidental fire destroyed the car's interior. The dealership bought back the damaged chassis and had it taken across town to the Willoughby Coachworks, a builder of high... end custom automobiles. There the car was rebodied from the dash back into an open, two seat speedster. This was not a typical high finished job, typical of the coachworks, but quick and dirty, witnessed by the fact that there was no Willoughby number plate attached.
The dealership had a purpose for this investment, hill climb racing, which was popular in that period. They had dealership signage painted onto the car, and on August 14, 1926, the Hill Climber, as it was come to be known, was entered in a Sherrill New York hill climb. They were successful taking first in their displacement class and third in the unlimited displacement run. The dealership returned home that day with two silver trophies and $20. Two days later, the Utica newspaper ran an ad for the dealership proudly describing the results to encourage people to consider a new Pontiac. This had to have been the first Pontiac "Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday" ad.
The McRorie-Sautter dealership continued to campaign the Hill Climber for seven years until 1932, at which time it was placed in storage at the dealer. In 1983, the dealership closed, and the car was given to a family friend. The car suffered neglect for a number of years. The present owners purchased it from an on-line ad in 1997. Since, they found the McRorie family, from whom they were given the history of the car and a number of photographs from 1926. They then did extensive researched in Utica newspapers to further build the car's history. The restoration kept as close to the original 1926 photos as possible. Hill Climber's history has been accepted by the AACA 24B judging class (open course race cars) and has earned a Grand National Senior award. It also received the AACA Past President's Racing Cup award for outstanding race car, Eastern Division in 2008.
The car participated in numerous Concours 'd Elegance events throughout the eastern US and made demonstration runs in several "revival" historic hill climbs; Hershey, PA, Newport, IN and Algonquin, IL. In 2003 the car received an Amelia award at the Amelia Island Concours 'd Elegance. It has also been on display at several museums over the years. The Hill Climber was also used on the General Motors mid-way displays at two NHRA Nationals drag races. The GM
Racing press release in 2002 was titled, "First Pontiac Race Car To Be Featured At U.S. Nationals".
The Hill Climber has also been featured in several magazines. The car drives and shows well.

Offered for consignment is a 2004 Chevrolet SSR in Redline Red with ebony leather interior. This Sport Roadster checks all the boxes with a 5.3 liter power plant and 4-speed automatic transmission. The odometer reads 29,375 verified actual miles and is ready to go anywhere. A great opportunity to own a rare, unique and collectible truck with car like manners.
Exterior
Factory applied Redline Red, with a few scratches and scuffs looks just splendid with its miles deep smooth finish. A design from an earlier era with a modern twist, shows a bulbous nose with streamlined inserted headlights, flared fenders, a short running board, and a shaved rear gate area. A massive cargo cover protects any cargo, and lifts on a hinged system. An automatic retractable hardtop makes its way automatically from its space right behind the drivers cockpit and raises and lowers in a flash. Taking a gander at this truck, if you are at the correct angle, you may think you are looking at a new VW Beetle. This is not a bad thing, as it is very slippery in the air with nothing to impede the flow of it. 19 and 20-inch wheels are on the corners, all neatly shod in staggered width high performance blackwall rubber and based on the 2004 date code could very well be the factory installed tires.
Interior
Ebony leather with brushed aluminum and a hint of the Redline Red comes together to create a luxurious yet sporty interior that emulates the exterior design of the vehicle. Even the door panels and handle mechanisms look much like the front of the truck. The center console is home to the automatic shifter, power window toggles, the electric top switch, and looks nearly perfect with its padded ebony armrest in a field of Redline for the console topper. Flanking on each side are the comfortable buckets in Ebony leather, and sporting a multi-functional electronic adjustment, with two memory positions, as well as heated driver and passenger seats. Open headrests are framed by chromed roll bar-esque trim that hug the headrests. Various heating and air-conditioning controls as well as the factory AM/FM/CD Changer unit are seen in the dash. Very clean black carpet lines the bed and also floods the passenger compartment floors.
Drivetrain
5.3 liters in LS V8 format pumps out a whopping 300hp. This big power mill is fed by electronic fuel injection and is backed by a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a 10 bolt 3.73 rear with Positraction.
Undercarriage
Underneath we see a peppering of surface rust on the usual suspects, but nothing remarkable as to the structural integrity of this retro-mod. Body hangers are sturdy and we note a slight covering of factory paint overspray on the flooring. Independent coil springs up front and a 5 link with coil springs make up the rear suspension. 4-wheel power disc brakes are on as well. Noted is a factory single exhaust which makes this vehicle roar.
Drive-Ability
This car/truck roared to life and after a nice warmup, took us to our test area where it passed all the challenges. Good acceleration, handling, and a smooth car ride. Also, a smooth shifting transmission and all working functions can be said to be true.
A retro roadster with a bed if you will, all tricked out with modern conveniences and power plant, along with a super smooth drivetrain setup, will allow you to hit the road immediately after driving it away from Classic Auto Mall. Think of it as a modern-day interpretation of a sedan delivery…......but in record time!

1996 Ford Bronco XL Lot #176 (Sale Order 72 of 115) 1996 Ford Bronco XL
The fifth and final generation of Bronco attained infamy when O.J. Simpson led the police on a car chase through L.A. Before that though, the three door, hardtop SUV was geared more towards safety than previous generations of Bronco had been. The fifth generation was given substantial safety increases. From front crumple zones and three-point seatbelts to a driver side airbag.
For consignment, a rarely seen XL edition of the 1996 Bronco from the blue oval. Many upgrades have been put on during the routine maintenance life of this vehicle, some paint work has been performed leaving us with a rust-free example that's ready to show and haul. A not oft seen bench seat, sporty wheels and removable hardtop. Full size 4 wheelin’...... with the classic Bronco look.
Exterior
Very clean and Light Saddle Metallic bathes the hood, cab, sides, and gate, and lower portions of the XL series station wagon...yes, that's how they are titled. A black fiberglass top is installed and can be removed to give you an open-air option. Badging and chrome is correct and in excellent condition and I love the added wheel lip moldings and twin upper and lower mocha brown pinstriping breaking up the slab sided steel. Brand new knobby BF Goodrich all terrain T/A Radials are on all 4 corners, and wrap large polished aluminum wheels with locking hubs. A clean tailgate finishes off our tour and is equipped with a power window.
Interior
A swing of the doors reveal a large overstuffed bench clad in smooth tan tweed broadcloth on the bolsters with dark brown striped inserts. A rear bench which will fold down expanding the already spacious cargo area is installed behind the buckets. The front bench is manually actuated and appears as nearly new, and the rear bench seat is in nice unused condition. The dash setup is standard Ford fare with two tone tan over black for the inserts. The doors use some tan vinyl and molded plastic panels and present in like new condition. All business here with crank windows, manual locks and manual mirror adjustments. The standard black steering wheel fronts the analog gauge cluster complete with its LCD odometer readout. Storage room is ample in the carpeted area behind the rear seat, even with the full sized matching spare tire. Good quality carpeting, in tan color, is covering the front floors as well.
Drivetrain
A 302ci V8 fed by EFI lurks in the cavernous engine bay with everything looking nearly new without a spec of rust or dirt. A 5-speed manual transmission is attached to the back and sends power to the 3.55 geared rear axle when in 2-wheel drive mode and to both the front and rear axles when 4x4 is engaged.
Undercarriage
Clean, some surface rust on the untreated components with no structural damage and even the untreated factory floor pans are looking great. Radius arm and coil springs for the front ride and leaf springs for the back. Power disc brakes are upfront, and power drums on back. Stock style single exhaust snakes its way rearward and while surface rusted remains fully intact.
Drive-Ability
The test track was no match for this big Bronco. Smooth acceleration, good handling for a truck and plenty of creature comforts that work perfectly and stops on a dime. While we didn't take any off-road excursions but we were able to engage the 4 wheel drive with success.
With 97,885 actual miles which appears virtually like new exterior wise, and the interior is very clean. Lots of recent service performed and cold air conditioning. Well cared for and runs nicely with plenty of power if you want to rock and climb!

2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Lot #177 (Sale Order 73 of 115) 2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
For consignment, the result of a collaboration with Carrol Shelby and the blue oval, and you know it has some serious HP’......s, (662), and a serious engine (5.8 Liter supercharged V8). ...Coming to us in the form of a SVT Track Pack equipped 2014 Mustang Shelby GT500 coupe, the present and the past have met with a thunderous roar. ...It is also done in a seriously ...grin inducing, (in a good way), Sonic Blue stripes over Oxford White base coat/clear coat finish and appealing and mesmerizing comfortable leather interior. ... Documented via its SVT/Shelby paperwork as #244 of 656 Oxford White cars built, all with a mere 13,911 title verified actual miles, you may have to drain the break in synthetic oil?
Exterior
Maintaining the throwback look of the original Mustang with their brooding grille and horizontal hooded headlamps things are retro kewl from the get go. ...More past styling cues are seen in the hockey stick coves in the front quarters and doors as well as the B pillar glass and rear spoiler. ...We see a draping of gloss Oxford White on straight steel panels, and dual wide racing stripes in Sonic Blue running up the center front bow to stern. ... These stripes appear again on the rockers ...with GT500 call outs at the base of the front fenders. ... Forged 19-inch black contemporary looking spoked mag style wheels are on front and 20-inchers for the rear. ... The 3 grouping of the vertical rectangle tail-lamps within a blacked out panel also goes back to its roots of design, as does the fastback rear greenhouse glass showing shades of the 65 fastback. ... Im giddy with excitement to slip my posterior inside this spectacle of modern muscle. ...
Interior
A swing of the doors allows us to view panels that make use of some vertical tuck and roll leather and even the design of this panel is reminiscent of model years that have come before. ... Beautiful high back buckets for the front have tuck and roll inserts with alternating blue inserts and smooth black leather bolsters for a blingy throwback feel. ... Embroidered within the backs between the seat back and integrated see through headrest portholes is a Cobra badge looking ready to strike. ...The 2 plus 2 rear seats are tight but comfortable and covered all in leather. ... A center console houses the shifter, Shelby plaque, and some storage, rises from the center hump and provides room for the Shaker AM/FM/CD stereo with 4.2 LCD screen and Sync. ... To the driver's dash we turn our eyes and look at more retro styling with the dual round deep set pods for the speedo and tach, with a central info screen in digital form. ... This is fronted by the original leather and suede steering wheel, complete with radio controls, phone Bluetooth hookup, cruise control buttons and that sexy snake gracing the center airbag. ... Black carpet covers the floors and more black for the carpeted mats with embroidered white Cobras to snarl at you from below.
Drivetrain
Is 662 Horses enough for you? ... It is all buttoned up and under the hood in a very clean engine bay, and it presents itself as a 5.8 liter V8 that just so happens to be supercharged. ... EFI and a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual transmission with a Ford 8.8 inch 3.31 TracLoc rear axle move you forward.
Undercarriage
Save for a few dirt splatters the undercarriage could be considered showroom. ... A stainless OEM dual exhaust runs underneath, and we can note it is independent with coil spring suspension in front, and a 3 link with panhard bar and coil spring suspension on the rear. ... Power Brembo disc brakes are dealt out all around and all is looking excellent underneath
Drive-Ability
One needs to be very gentle with a car that produces 662 ponies, (or is that snakes??), and this car is no exception. ... It lit right up and had a menacing growl as we made our way to the test track. ... Acceleration is neck snapping, handling is on rails, and steering response is lightning quick. ... It is a nice cruiser especially in 6th gear, it feels like it could go on forever, but sadly our test drive has to come to an end so as not to add too many extra miles.
Wow! would sum this car up, with eye popping power, skin hugging leather seats, plenty of conveniences and loads of fun, this throwback design is very modern and stylish, which does not allow the earlier models to even hold a candle to this performer, but it pays tribute to those that have come before it.

1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Lot #178 (Sale Order 74 of 115) 1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
For consignment, and to quench your NASCAR thirst, you're looking at a 1 of 6 special edition Camaro Z28 sporting a mere 5,978 title verified miles and remaining in showroom condition. ... This 1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Dale Earnhardt Edition was a unique creation from The Intimidator's own Chevy dealership in NC and was not available to the general public. ... Instead, a drawing was held for the chance to purchase 1 of the 6 creations and our consignor states that this is the only car of the 6 that is equipped with a 6 speed manual and fully optioned. ... Not only does it have a special body and loaded interior, but also it can live up to its Victory Lane style with its fuel-injected V8 and if that isn't enough to get your blood pumping, then how about Dale Sr. and Dale Jr.'s autographs, (along with photos of the signing), right out in the open on the dash. ... Boogity, Boogity, Boogity....let's go racin' boys!!!
Exterior
They only made six of these: one to celebrate each one of Dale Earnhardt's championship wins up until that point. ... And the fact that this is a 1994, (the year of his seventh championship), really ties it all together. ... It's the kind of history that made this Camaro an instant classic. ... From tip to toe, top to bottom, and everywhere in between, we see factory black paint and it's looking just fab! ... Integrated bumpers, body matching, front and rear melt into the steel body panels which are straight and totally ding free. ... A few strategically placed pieces of black trim are seen throughout and melt into the body just seamlessly. ... Fog lights are upfront to light the way and gracing the hood is GM Goodwrench liverley that matches Dale's real car to a T. ... On top a dual paneled smoked glass removable “......T”...... style top has like new factory rubber seals and opens the cabin up for some fresh air. ... Just behind the B pillar is a curved greenhouse glass enclosure for the rear passengers, as well as any of their gear to store in the back. ... On the back, a NASCAR style spoiler runs the width of the arched rear melting almost seamlessly into the rear quarter panels, and large tail lights peek out from underneath. ... Adding more NASCAR flair are silver bordering on white rocker fairings for that extra racy racy look. ... Factory badging is present and accounted for and Goodwrench, #3, championship year wins, and Dale Sr. signature decals give some extra pizazz. ... Factory Camaro badged alloy wheels are on all 4 corners wrapped in deeply treaded Goodyear rubber.
Interior
Graphite leather covers all the seating surfaces which present with high back buckets upfront, and a small rear 2 plus 2 bench. ... The mar and wrinkle free seats have Dale Earnhardt Championship Series embroidered into both the headrest as part of the very limited edition package. ... These are pristine in condition as are the door panels that cozy up to the seats when the doors are closed, and you are in ready to go mode. We see power windows, power seats, power locks, the Z28 preferred equipment group, and A/C. ... Black carpet floods the floors, and the dash is all original and all clean as a whistle sporting the signatures of Dale Sr and Jr across the passengers airbag and center top dash. ... A digital readout AM/FM/CD player is factory, and all is just perfect with the interior world.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the consignor stated numbers matching 5.7 liter LT-1 V8 with electronic fuel injection to feed it the go juice and make the tire turning 275hp. ... A 6-speed manual T56 transmission is on back and pushes power rearward to a performance optioned 3.42 10 bolt rear axle.
Undercarriage
As one would expect from a well loved 1 of 6 collector car with low low miles, the underside is nearly showroom, with no rust to be seen, nicely painted floor pans, rust free rockers and overall, a very nice unibody undercarriage. ... Power disc brakes are on the front and back and keeping the Goodyears stuck to the track is an independent coil spring front suspension and torque arm and coil spring rear arrangement.
Drive-Ability
Nearly like-new is the buzzword for this wonderful timepiece from ’......94. ... It starts right up, and rolls with the best of them on the test track with smooth power, straight braking, and everything in working order. ... A/C blows cold, and the stereo is audiophile quality. ... We kept our tenure behind the wheel short as not to be the ones to log extra miles.
Words like collector car, rotisserie restoration, frame off, time capsule, or survivor all mean a top notch quality car, and in the case of this one, low miles, 1 of 6 built and a great tie into NASCAR history, and all original. ... A nearly perfect interior, excellent exterior, plenty of muscle for the power, and a comfortable cruiser if you so desire. The T top is a bonus, and one almost cannot go wrong with this low mileage pampered, garaged Earnhardt edition Z28. ... I

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Lot #179 (Sale Order 75 of 115) 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
For consignment, a blast, (literally), from the past in the form of the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. ... The beneficiary of a frame off rotisserie restoration approximately 339 miles ago when the odometer read 62,000 miles. ... Bathed in a stunningly deep color change of Hugger Orange and with just about everything correct down to the period correct Firestone tires. ... This one is special due to it having the elusive X77 code and a fully correct numbers matching, date code correct DZ 302ci V8. ... That said, here we go!
Exterior
A color change to a near perfect application of Hugger Orange covers the straight steel slabs on this car, which are all minding their gaps very well and it's really nicely buffed and has a glass like presentation with only a few faults upon close inspection. ... Also, adorning the exterior are dual wide white painted on racing stripes, which…....... well race up the long cowl induction hood of this pony car stopping at the front windscreen and continue on the small rear deck and cool spoiler atop. ... No rust due to all the metal being worked then reworked to absolute perfection. ... As if the body itself wasn't enough to draw you in, the eggcrate grille up front with left-set Z/28 emblem and perfect blingy chrome will. ... ...Still not sold? ... How about the perfectly polished and straightened stainless trim that adorns the glass and the swooping white pinstripes that curve up and around each wheel opening and race rearward. ... For even more bling, stainless rocker moldings are on and which bridge the gap between the 15-inch deep dish rally wheels all wrapped up in nearly new E70-15 Firestone rubber on all 4 corners. ... A big shout out to correct spatter paint finished trunk with its plaid liner, full size spare and bumper jack.
Interior
Complimenting the exterior orange and white stripes, we see a sea of black nice condition vinyl. ... This is covering the molded door panels which are nearly showroom, and the bolsters of the front buckets which are high back versions with large headrests attached. ... In the back is a black 2 plus 2 rear bench just as nice as the front buckets. ... Complimenting this beautiful black vinyl are tuck and roll and buttoned white and black houndstooth inserts which are absolutely to die for. ... In the center is a black molded vinyl console and it sports a chrome trimmed deluxe wood applique insert which frames the T-handled Hurst floor shifter. ...Just in front of the shift lever is a quad of cascading gauges to monitor engine vitals and gives you a constant heads up reading of said numbers. ... The dash is original and has a beautiful rosewood rimmed 3 spoke steering wheel in front. ... Peering beyond the wheel are a pair of deeply sunken gauges with warning lights below and a clock in the center and down low is more applique stretching across the dash. ... Black carpeting in like new condition is on the floors and above is a tight black vinyl headliner with a working dome light. ... We are ready to roll!
Drivetrain
Under the sleek cowl scooped hood is the correct and numbers matching 302ci V8. ... For you numbers gurus out there the block casting number is 39566188 with a casting date of B109 and a stamping code of V0402DZ along with the partial VIN stamping. ... Under the functional cowl induction air cleaner is a Holley #3923289DZ 4-barrel carburetor and a correct Z28 intake manifold, casting number 3932472. ... A correct and numbers matching Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission is on back, and this pushes power to a BU0402 stamped 12-bolt rear with 3.73 gears. ... Everything is near flawless in this beautifully restored engine bay with the Chevrolet Orange painted block, snazzy polished ribbed valve covers, and a correct air cleaner housing. ... All hoses are nice and supple, and everything else is gleaming and screaming for attention under this hood. ...The driver's side head was cracked so it was replaced but all else is original and factory.
Undercarriage
Not to be outdone by the topside, the underneath which has been completely restored and finished in black is clean enough to eat off of. ... A sturdy black unibody provides the support for the clean black flooring and rockers. ... A stock appearing dual exhaust snakes by all buttoned up independent coil spring suspension on front and leaf springs on the rear. ... Drum brakes are on back and discs upfront, and are power assisted.
Drive-Ability
This car fired up with a mighty roar, and performed much like the roar at the start. ... Out on the test track it had wonderful launching from that first gear, and unlimited acceleration, especially in the higher rpm's. ... The Muncie manual and Hurst shifter are snappy and working perfectly. ... Braking was solid and not a single frown was noted during our tenure behind the wheel.
A beautiful restoration indeed, all around a nice X77 coded Camaro with plenty of time and skill put into the rest

For consignment, a 2 owner 2003 Chevrolet Corvette convertible that ...was treated to over $5,000 worth of service in July of 2022. ... Corvette was celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2003, and did have an early release of a special paint scheme which is on this car and called 50th Anniversary Red. ... And as they say, “......the rest is history”.......
Exterior
50th Anniversary Red drapes the exterior of this car. ... Exterior add ons include heated outside mirrors, manual folding top with rear glass and defroster, halogen headlamps, and chrome exhaust tips, which are gathered together in the center of the rear roll pan. ... All black trimmings, the Corvette cove on the front quarter harkens back 50 years, and a tan convertible canvas top is on with with only minor soiling spots and some minor seam separation, and gold tinted anniversary aluminum wheels are all around and are wrapped in like new high performance blackwall rubber. ... We do note that the paint shows some dulling on the flat surfaces, areas of clear coat degradation, and even some bubbling near the edges of the trunk. ... Scuffs and scrapes are also noted on the lower body panels, especially the nose which appears to have had a run in with a parking stop at one time in its life.
Interior
Shale, (off white), leather, power adjustable, high back buckets embroidered with “......Corvette”...... name and 50th anniversary crossed flags await you. ... These seats show typical leather wear and a tear on the passengers lower cushion. ...Sliding in will put you into a cockpit with an AM/FM/12 disc CD sound system with Bose Speakers, dual zone electronic A/C, a driver’......s info center on the dash above the console, cruise control, and power locks and power windows. ...

Drive-Ability
This Corvette in 50th Anniversary Red and a convertible version is a stunner. ... Plenty of power after a quick start and warmup, and the test track was no match for this vehicle. ... It ran great and all was working well during our tenure behind the wheel. ...
An Anniversary special edition of which only 7,547 examples were produced, so a bit rare, not in perfect condition but still worthy of being a daily driver or break out the buffer and supplies and make this one shine like the star it is.

Today it runs great but sadly spends most of its time in a garage in Maine, far away from our restorers residence here in Pa where he spends most of his time. ... Our knowledgeable consignor has lots of pertinent info, only some of which I will convey in this description, but you are buying it from a very intelligent and thoughtful restorer who did his utmost to retain much of its originality right down to the freewheeling plastic and working pedal. ... ( A first for this test driver/writer.) ... So join me on this description journey.
Exterior
Starting with stripping and totally repainting it is now bathed in “......Arrest Me Red!”......, ( Thanks Hagerty!). ...A total stripping and any body work was completed prior to the painting. ... All new rubber seals were then installed. ... Some previous rusted rear shock mounts, ( a common problem with these cars), was remediated with new metal inserts and are stable and strong. ... The front of the car has beautiful chrome with an Alfa Romeo styled vertical central grille, flanked by a single headlight. ... Formed and rounded front fenders and a curved to match the shape in the body front bumper gives it an aero retro feel. ... Straight steel runs back to the rear and on the way has nicely minded gaps in the doors as well as dual chromed rocker trimmings ... ...A small plate in chrome protects the fore part of the rear rounded protruding fender. ... It has VW-esque small elephant footprint tail lights topping it and this corresponds with a gently sloping Swiss Alp-like rear glass and trunk deck. ... Shiny large dog dish wheels are in all 4 corners. ... This car has a wonderfully unique, yet familiar with the 60’......s styling exterior. You’......ll love it or hate and I’......m in the former category. ... Proscht!
Interior
Wonderful neutral shades of gray to black cover the interior surfaces. ...Doors have black sills with an ever widening gray upper panel, and smooth vinyl lower panel in black. ... Chairs are low back bomber style buckets with smooth black shiny vinyl bolsters and tuck and roll broadcloth inserts. ...The rear bench follows suit and is also like new and virtually are as our consignor has done the interior with the exterior resto. ... The dash is simple and in black with black faced gauges, white numbers and pointers and chromed bezels. ...An original steering wheel fronts the dash and below all is good with the black carpeting. ... Above is a white headliner which presents as new. ... A shout out to the trunk where it has also been totally restored. ... Hand over my wiener schnitzel sandwich please!
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the 1.7L Ford Taunus V4 engine. ... This is a larger, newer engine up from the original 1.5 liter that came with the car. ...It has been bored .040 over there is a high performance camshaft, and the valves have been hardened. ... Atop is a single 2bbl Weber carb and a 4-speed manual transmission on back. ... As noted this car does have the freewheeling pedal transmission which is a bit like driving a model T where you feel like you are trying to tie your shoe while on your cell phone after a long night out of imbibing heavily. ...Although once you get used to it, you can literally forgo the clutch!
Undercarriage
Plenty of patina, road dirt and light surface rust on the underside panels but still very structurally sound. ...Rebuilt rack and pinion steering, new bushings and other suspension parts for the front coil spring suspension and rear I-beam and coil spring suspension. ...Totally rebuilt and like new disc braking is in front and drums for the rear ... and a clean stock exhaust runs the gamut of the undercarriage. ...
Drive-Ability
A fun nice car to drive, which offered up snappy acceleration, good solid braking, and all functioning controls. ... As noted it has the freewheeling pedal and you need two try it to experience it as it would take me a 1/4 page to describe it. ... Fun little classic Saab driver. ... Les grosses bier bitte.
A fun little gem of Saab history gracing our midst, runs on regular gas, and drives just great. ... Fully restored, mechanically sound and steel sides and panels like a Panzer tank. ... Bring it on!

1936 Plymouth 2 Door Sedan Lot #183 (Sale Order 79 of 115) For consignment, a 2-door sedan version of a Plymouth P1 or P2, one cannot tell whether this was a standard or deluxe model now that has been modified as a street rod, but either way it's looking perfectly the part today! ... Major engine improvements have been made to the Hemi V8 which has long since replaced the inline 6-cylinder engine that came with the car from the showroom as well as the addition ...of 4 wheel power disc brakes and a 5-speed manual transmission.
Exterior
An all steel body that has been uncut and unmodified in any way. ... The original doors hang straight with good gaps and the hood side panels have been retained to ...cast an aura of allure and mystery about what lurks within. ... A hint as such is seen poking out of the custom hood cowl and fender area, but more on that later. ... A full tan canvas roof has been well fitted as technology at the time could not produce a large enough viable sheet of steel and adds some class to this rod build. ... The paint is an older application however, it presents beautifully, and was most likely sprayed with a 2-stage system. ... The brilliant Amber Pearl, (burnt orange), color shows very small imperfections when inspected closely, however there are absolutely no major dents or scratches worth noting, as well as no areas of major body filler being used. ... Steel fenders and small black rubber coated running boards adorn each side. ... All the chrome and brite work present very nice, with little to no flaws. ... Overall the exterior could be improved in minute ways, but there really is nothing worth noting. ...15" American Racing Outlaw 1 wheels are wrapped in Firehawk Indy 500 raised white letter radials.
Interior
Reusing very few ...parts from the original car, beautiful ...2 tone bucket seats are wrapped in off white and beige cloth, with off white diamond inserts dressing things up a bit and a matching 2+2 bench seat sprawls between the rear doors. ... The door panels are finished in smooth vinyl with a central raised embossing around the swooping arm rest and chrome cranks, and complimentary beige color abounds. ... A white ball topped Hurst shifter has been added and is within the driver's reach. ... Fronting the dash is an aftermarket polished tilt steering column topped with a leather wrapped Billet Specialties steering wheel. ... The dash front shows out of the ordinary with a camouflage wrap providing the backdrop for the white face VDO gauges, warning and indicator lights, the AM/FM/Cassette stereo and controller for the Vintage Air/Heat system. ... A good condition off white headliner frames the roof and beige vinyl wraps around to the rear of the interior roof, “......B”...... pillars and rear window and clean tan carpeting rounds out our interior tour.
Drivetrain
A dare to be different Chrysler 392ci ...Hemi V8 now resides under the hood. ... This mill and heads are finished in yellow but very hard to see with all the chrome and polished add-ons decorating the engine. ... A pair of Holley 4bbl carburetors sits atop a polished high rise tunnel ram type aluminum intake manifold and is topped by chrome air cleaner assemblies. ... With polished aluminum valve covers, wire looms, chrome alternator and polished AC components, there is no good reason to keep this mill covered, other than to surprise the competition. ... Attached is a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission bolted to the back of the mill and sends power back to a Ford 9" rear axle. ...
Undercarriage
This car rides on its original frame, which is straight, rust-free, in overall great condition, and is painted black. ... This frame provides an excellent backdrop for the clean rust-free painted floor pans. ... A Mustang II suspension and disc brakes makes up the front. ...The rear has more disc brakes and a leaf spring arrangement. ... Dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers snake their way to ...chromed tipped tail pipes after curving around the like new fuel tank.
Drive-Ability
It fired right up and has an amazing amount of power with that Hemi V8 under the hood. ... It handled the test track with ease, good acceleration, straight quick stopping and good handling, although on tight S turns at speed the front felt a bit squirrelly. ... All functions were working with the exception of the horn and speedometer.
This beautiful build with all its chromed and burnt orange glory, is a true old school hot rod. ... Having a Mopar engine in a Plymouth is a conversation piece to say the least, and all details make this rod very drivable, but it has nice power, which was the builder’......s intent, and maybe make a little noise to awaken the neighbors on a Sunday morning drive!

1953 Chevrolet 210 Club Coupe Lot #184 (Sale Order 80 of 115) For consignment, you’......ll see what all the fuss is about regarding the Wolf Whistle intro in this 1953 Chevrolet 210 Club Coupe. ... Here we have a robin egg blue example of a nifty fifties hot rod which has been shaved, frenched and maybe even lowered just a bit, but it's definitely HOT! ... Some snaky snarling side pipes, a Corvette grille, flourish painted accenting pin-striping, and plenty of chrome mirrors and searchlights hanging off of this car. ... All straight steel with their gaps being well minded, and a snappy interior to go along with the exterior. ...I’......m prompted who do a wolf whistle at this car, and my eyes are popping out of my head because it did it for me, right from its horn to my ears…......I guess it thinks I’......m sexy, but that’......s a whole ‘......nuther path to go down if I was referring to Rod Stewart!
Exterior
Simplify was the word bird, with frenched head and tail lighting, and shaved of its chromed trimmings save for the front and rear bumper and side pipes. ... Robin egg blue, from Emeron paint, floods the exterior of this entire car and it is looking very smart, and light blue! ... Some extra trimmings are still on around the base of the roofline, glass, and a belt line trim spear running the gamut of this car. ... It sports a chromed 1957 Corvette grille. ... Live chromed side pipes are residing on each rocker on each side, and not shown in the pictures …......the car has neon under lighting. ...Cue the Wolf Whistle! ...It's an award winner and star of the small boob tube screen, it appeared in a story about Carlisle Chevrolet meet…......Film at 11. ... On back it is aptly named the Wanderer, all buttoned up and with two tone dark blue and deep maroon flourishes highlighting various sections of this automobile. ... ...17-inch polished 5 spoke American Racing Torque Thrust wheels are on all 4 corners.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we shake hands with a robin's egg blue door sill and then the hits just keep in comin' with white vinyl uppers, a chromed delineation with a question mark shape and on to the blue broadcloth with tuck and roll vertical ribs. Lowers are in dark blue carpeting, as are the floors of this beautiful beast. ... Seats are a split front bench in all custom with their silver bowtie badge in the centers also showing a 53 within them…...... kewl! ...The upper backs are made up of a white vinyl. The mids are light blue vertical tuck and roll broadcloth and then on to more white vinyl. ...Piping is seen throughout the seats front and back benches and all have seat belts now installed. ... Upfront the dash has been modernized, (Lions and Tigers and Bears…......OH MY!), with a peppering of blackface gauges in the round next to the original speedo. ... These gauges now reside on a field of ribbed aluminum and off to the driver's left hangs a tachometer. ...Below some black metal for the knobs and pulls, a B&M transmission torque converter lockup control box, and an aftermarket DMS AM/FM/CD stereo player. ... Just above is a plethora of more vertical chromed ribs hiding the front speaker and moving over to face the glovebox on the passenger’......s side. ... The obligatory fuzzy dice are also upfront, and some flame flourishes are next to the B&M box. ... Very apropos. On the hump is a T handle shift lever. ... Press the horn button and the Wolf comes out of this car clad in sheep’......s clothing.
Drivetrain
Under the hood and I’......m goin’...... to Motö...rhead church and picking my pew as there are more pipes than a Wurlitzer merry go round organ on this mill! ...This wild and wooly setup is a 383ci V8 and it has EFI in stack form on top and a 700R4 4-speed auto tranny on back. ... Waaaay back is a 10 bolt 3.73 pumpkin. ... Headers help greatly with the exhale and the side-pipes definitely “......rack off”......, (a term we used to use in High School but I’......m bringing it back!), the sound in a semi closed in area. ...I see an aluminum radiator, like new master cylinder and the rest is detailed and tinted up to the nines.
Undercarriage
Words like clean, rust free, awesome, undercoated etc can be used here as all is looking just fab. ... Clean stamped steel floor pans are helping keep the underside structurally sound. ... Independent coil springs are on front along with power steering, and leaf springs for the back are bolted on. ... Aoll supported by a Camaro subframe. ... Power disc braking has been put in replacing the tired old drums. ... Also power steering is now on. ...Rock n Roll! (Oh! wait, it hasn't been invented yet!)
Drive-Ability
I felt like nuthin’...... but a hound dog, as I slipped inside for the test drive. ...This beast fired right up and off to the test track and then eventually town to show it off and make some noise. ... Yup! ...All was working swimmingly save for the tires rubbing at full steering lock in front, and the exhaust leaks, so you may want to have that checked before you go to

2006 Pontiac GTO Lot #185 (Sale Order 81 of 115) 2006 Pontiac GTO
Certainly not an old goat in this title verified 56,472 mile, 2006 GTO from Pontiac. ... Now with 400hp a homologation of Holden and European style looks, the dyed in the wool GTO fans may not like the new aero look but will relish the performance which the classics cannot even come close to. ... Only a 3-year run for this car, and it is now an instant classic. ... Its only fault with the public back in the day was the Holden/Euro styling which has nary a hint of retro on it.
Exterior
This styling means that each unit from every company essentially takes on the same traits, and this ubiquitous example plays along exactly with the game. ... With no reference to the past conquests, integrated new headlights, front bumper and lower fog lights are aerodynamically inserted and smoothed over. ... A slight reference to Pontiac in form is the flush mounted split front honeycomb grille in black with the red arrowhead badge in the center. ... A hood scoop has been carved into the hood and sports dual openings, just like the GTO's of yore. ... All panels are bathed in Phantom Black Metallic, and it's menacing! ... We note a few chip offs and scuffs on the bumpers as well as the lower rocker panels, ...but certainly no rust. ... These flared rocker panels moves rearward to a greenhouse long sloping rear glass that ends with a rear spoiler. ... More integrated taillights rear bumper and finally a black roll pan with a GTO logo flanked by dual zoom tube chrome tipped exhaust finish out the back. ...17" 5 spoke polished and riveted wheels on all 4 corners come with 245/45ZR17 high performance blackwall tires from the 28th week of 2022 and all black trimmings around windows keep it simple.
Interior
Fashioned from curved molded vinyl and a strip of suede, the door panels are as aerodynamic as the exterior. ... High back extra bolster support buckets in charcoal gray leather, have an embroidered GTO in their uppers. ... These seats are power adjustable and present with only fine wear that comes with careful use and age. ... In back is a 2 plus 2 bench setup stretching from B pillar to B pillar. ... In the center is a curved molded console that makes its way gracefully upward and melting into the dash. ... On its way is a 6-disc AM/FM/CD radio, green and black screen readout for information and fan and temp knobs. ... The dash borrows styling directly from Porsche with the overlapping circle gauges, and perfectly contrasting red readouts, under a curved dash top visor. ... Black carpet for the floors and more molded panels covered with slightly fuzzy material for the headliner.
Drivetrain
Stuffed under the curved dual vented hood is a living breathing 6.0 Liter V8 LS2 engine. ... It is in very good condition, as is the entire engine bay, with no corrosion or rust, all original save for a cold air intake. ... EFI feeds it, and a T56 6-speed manual transmission with a new clutch and a 3.46 geared limited slip rear finishes up the drivetrain. ... Did I mention it puts out 400 horses?!
Undercarriage
Up on the lift some road dirt is noted but almost no surface rust and all structurally sound with the unibody construction. ... All independent suspension, and power disc brakes are seen all around for this car. ... Factory dual exhaust is on for the exhale and works with Flowmaster mufflers to create that perfect LS melody.
Drive-Ability
As expected, this car fired right up, and performed like a 400hp car should on the test track. ... Seat pushing acceleration, rail like handling, and quick stopping were the norm. ... All functions were performing as they should, and it is a smooth highway cruiser with low noise factor. ... We kept our seat time short but we still had a smashingly good time.
A nice example of the new version of the GTO even though someone would have to tell me it's a GTO if the badges were not there. ... Holden/Euro styling has taken over, and now we have an aero car with a big mill. ... Which in the entire picture is not too bad!

1949 Plymouth P18 Special Deluxe Lot #186 (Sale Order 82 of 115) When you say 40’......s cars you think of post war pent up spending, ...but if you look at the pre Jet Age, before those fine finned beauties, you’......ll see enough has changed in our cars nearly 70 years on that these machines manage to feel vintage–......they transport you to another era. ... We also need to look at the word ''Deluxe'' which was used by virtually every car manufacturer at one point or another. ... This car oozes ''Deluxe'' in many ways, like its design, embellishments, interior chrome, and curved lines. ... All affordable, and a real piece of vintage that will not break the bank. ... Now that’......s Deluxe in the flesh, a 1949 Plymouth P18 Special Deluxe.
Exterior
This snazzy design harkening to a simpler time can best be described as a nice example with good paint and shiny chrome embellishments. ... Its nose utilizes a mild V formation in triplicate plus 1 for the grille, and a bumper below that is showing signs of rust and delamination in this framing. ... Big wide integrated front fenders flare inward as they move from the door panels to the front, where they meet in a peaked hood with a single spear racing back toward the windshield. ... All this and more steel is bathed in Plymouth Cream. ... Inclusions, signs of body work and bubbling is noted in the finish putting this car into the category of a 10 footer. ... A split windshield fronts the tear free power black canvas top which floats above the 2 doors this car has available for the passengers and we note a factory Mopar spotlight perched on the driver's A-pillar. ... All rocker trimmings are solid and shiny and support the slab sided doors on either side. ... The rear design of this car curves downward gracefully, and has a single v-shaped tail light ...emanating from each rear fender with chrome trimmed spear on top and a curved bumper on the bottom. ... Nicely preserved big dog dish wheel covers are wrapped by wide white bias ply tires all around.
Interior ...
Ribbed tan broadcloth with smooth oxblood vinyl bolsters and tops covers the front and rear benches. ... These are in excellent condition with only light soiling of the cloth cushions. The bench in back is flanked by smooth oxblood panels dressed with bakelite and chrome cranks. ... The door panels are covered in more oxblood vinyl, and have some art deco inspired chrome as well as shiny chrome handles and cranks with cream bakelite escutcheons and knobs show nicely on this dark red background. ... Up front the full metal dash is a two tone faux painted wood grain surrounded by Plymouth Cream. ... There are also plenty of beautifully chromed bezels and a horizontally mounted radio and central speaker cover that has shades of an old jukebox. ... Another small curved chromed panel hangs below the dash, and houses more bakelite knobs. ... This dash is very inspiring and clean, ...but the chome does present with some ...pitting. ... The Plymouth Cream also shows up on the door sills and center framing for the windshield. ... Grayish green carpet floats this Art Deco interior and a big cream bakelite steering wheel is fronting the dash and it also has plenty of chromed embellishments.
Drivetrain
Among all the other niceties this car offers up, is an unrestored appearing engine bay with a 218ci L-head inline 6-cylinder engine. ... All done in a chipped off gray with a black painted oil bath air cleaning system is above a rebuilt in 2019 1-barrel carburetor and intake. ... On back is a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a like new radiator has supple hoses running to and from the mill. ... A 3.90 geared rear axle turns the tires. ...
Undercarriage
The X frame is nicely painted black and is solid structurally. ... Rockers and floor pans are stamped steel and show repair panels for the flooring. ... Independent front suspension and leaf spring rear is on, and drum brakes are seen all around. ... A careful look all around and you can be hard pressed to find anything that’......s awry even down to the new in 2019 fuel tank.
Drive-Ability
A quick fire up and off to the test track where it was a delightful drive. ... Smooth power and expected handling was noted, however, the speedometer is inaccurate, the vacuum wipers are slow and the radio failed to belt out any tunes. ... These issues aside, I could not keep my eyes off the dash. ... It is so wonderfully designed and preserved.
Plymouth built solid cars to last in the day, and this car upholds that theory. ... Bulletproof construction which was built to last and with all the chrome add ons it was sure to be a looker, and it is! ... Rounded fenders and hood, and a clean interior and we are looking really good with this example.

1990 Chrysler TC by Maserati Lot #187 (Sale Order 83 of 115) 1990 Chrysler TC by Maserati
Chrysler head honcho Lee Iacocca in the 1980s teamed up with Maserati's Alejandro de Tomaso to produce sporty coupes that combined the so-called best of both brands. The result: the Chrysler TC by Maserati. (TC is short for Turbo Convertible). It made its debut at the 1986 Los Angeles auto show and rolled on the Q-platform.
For consignment, the cohabitation between Chrysler and the Italians based on the LeBaron platform. This version sports the 3.0 V6 engine with EFi and puts out 141 horses, and combined with the Ultradrive 4-speed automatic, it can handle an interstate or a curvy back road with the top down, soft top up or hardtop installed for winter motoring.
Exterior
Light Yellow bathes this co-effort, and this one is a convertible and has a matching hardtop. This paint is all original and in very good condition as with only a few flaws and some cracking of the finish noted on the driver's front fender. A nice black canvas manual convertible top moves up and down smoothly, and for winter driving you can use the body matching hardtop. Heated side view mirrors hang off of straight steel for this luxury sports car, and it rolls on polished, woven mag wheels wrapped in like new blackwall rubber.
Interior
Black leather in very good condition covers the door panel inserts and wide luxurious front bucket seats as well as rear side panels. Of note are the age wrinkles and color loss in the driver's outer bolster as well as on the pillow top lower cushion. In back in lieu of a rear seat is a curved faded black carpeted covered lid that lifts and offers up a storage area that has the space saver spare. This black carpeting is also seen in the trunk and all the chairs float in it and has storage area matching fade on the flooring. The warmth continues with the dash also in black stitched leather covered and sporting some wood burl accenting. In contrast the dash top uses white stitching for the black leather around the instrument cluster. Inserted in the dash center is an Infinity II 10 speaker sound system which provides enough wattage to have good music even with the top down at speed. Adding more luxury are power seats, and a tilt steering wheel also wrapped in black leather. Toggles for the tonneau top and convertible are just behind the driver.
Drivetrain
Under the hood and looking good is the Mitsubishi produced 3.0 Liter V6 with EFI. It shows a little dust but is in all good unrestored condition. New valve cover gaskets and spark plugs were recently installed as well as a new water pump, radiator, hoses, timing belt, and AC compressor. On back is an Ultradrive A604 4-speed automatic transmission pushing power forward to a 3.42 final drive rear axle.
Undercarriage
Very well kept down below with a uniform black finish with some patina and road splash but a solid unibody construction. Front independent coil sprung suspension along with rear coil sprung suspension and power disc brakes from the factory are bolted on. A stock exhaust is on and is nice and clean with no rust. Our consignor notes that the right front caliper and pads were recently replaced, and a trailer hitch has been added should you want to bring extras along on your trek.
Drive-Ability
Slipping inside the black leather interior I turned the key and the 6 cylinders came to life. It delivered nice smooth power and cruises at highway speeds, and then some, with ease. It handled nicely and all functionality was working perfectly.
A collaboration between 3 automakers, those being Chrysler, Maserati, and Mitsubishi make this a true worldwide car and an interesting concept. Only 7,000 cars were sold during its run so it's somewhat rare. This beautiful door combo all comes together to make a luxury sports car that is a convertible and comes with a hardtop. Year-round enjoyment is what it sounds like to me.

Exterior

It is bathed in Boxwood Green for the uppers, hood and bed edges, and Wimbledon White for the lowers and roofline. ... Nice trim runs the length of the truck and it’......s on the midline as well the rockers and wheel well surrounds. ... A well preserved front grille and bumper are leading the way. ...

Undercarriage
This truck shows very well underneath with nary a hint of surface rust on the frame and suspension components. ...

Power front disc brakes work in conjunction with rear power drums for the stopping of this big rig. ...A twin I-beam and coil spring front suspension gives a nice ride and for the rear we see traditional leaf springs. ... Nice and tidy would describe the undercarriage best.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and smooth idler, a tickle of the gas pedal and we're off! ... This truck runs very nicely, shifts smoothly, corners nicely, and has a fairly smooth ride. ... The interior is comfortable, which is to be expected because Ford had the theory that their trucks were workers on the outside, but car-like interiors would rule. ... All functions save for the windshield washers, reverse lights and AXc ...were working during our drive and the note of the big V8 delivers the goods. ...A small oil leak is noted at the back of the oil pan, but it's minor.
An eye-catching example of the F-100, very good condition, and it’......s a truck that can show as well as work. ... No trailer queen here, just a worker in classic form. ... Well running, and snazzy looking, and all rust free. ... Right here at Classic Auto Mall y’......-all! ... Start the bidding, and grab a beer from that color matching cooler.

1941 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible Lot #189 (Sale Order 85 of 115) 1941 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible
Touted as an affordable car for the masses, with every part starting from raw steel to the rubber tires, produced within the confines of the massive Ford plant, the Super Deluxe offered a smooth ride, touted a large interior, and hydraulic brakes, all at a very affordable price. Some of this may have been true, and some not, but it sold cars, and that was the bottom line in 1941.
For consignment, a 1941 Super Deluxe convertible looking the part with its rounded lines accented by thin chrome trimmings and two rows of it! A 221ci flathead V8 and a black canvas convertible top that works very smoothly electrically. A fine example gracing our North hallway and maybe even an upgrade to the main showroom. These cars tend to move all over the Hallowed Halls of the Classic Auto Mall, and I for one want this one front and center.
Exterior
All in excellent condition, maroon paint covers all the steel panels that are fairly straight and true. The accessory bumper guards and wings, fender moldings, door handles, grille, light bezels, and window trims are all in good to excellent condition and shine brightly. Super Deluxe style, the barrel shaped vertical ribbed V Grille with its two flanking side panels looks shiny and unmarred. Rounded lines with bulbous fenders now with just a very small running board, we are moving into the modern era of the next car look as to the overall design genre. A hinged on the back hood with some curved edges, and a bulbous badged front section and a rounded trunk with a clear glass rear window for the black canvas roof just above. We see a central passenger compartment which utilizes square doors and is adorned with belt line trim spears. Also noted are some snazzy thin fender trimmings that wrap around the back and front quarters. A flared rocker is seen at the bottom. On the back is a long sloping trunk lid with another shiny chrome bumper with guards and wings just below and tall thin rectangle tail lights on the rear fenders. On all 4 corners are the standard 16-inch maroon painted steel wheels sporting moon caps in the center with Ford logo badging and bright shiny trim rings. Wide white walls for all corners are the standard fare for this Deluxe which is just Super!
Interior
Complimenting red artificial leather covers the interior seating and is correct for the period. The same material covers the door panels, and all Bakelite knobs as well as chromed cranks are there and accounted for. Fronting this duo of benches is a nicely done wood grained dash with cream Bakelite trim. The original steering wheel also in Bakelite is in excellent condition. Red carpet covers all floors and is stain free and fluffy all the while being protected in the front by an all encompassing tan rubber mat and the underside of the canvas top is excellent. A note on the trunk as it is paneled with painted pressed board and has a rubber lining that sits in front of a new spare tire.
Drivetrain
Flipping the hinged hood, we see in the restored engine bay, a 221ci flathead V8 which our decoder states is correct for this car. As is the 1-barrel carburetor feeding it, and the 3-speed manual transmission on back. This setup is a 6-volt electrical system. A newer aluminum radiator fronts the mill, and the rear axle weighs in at a 3.54 ratio.
Undercarriage
An X frame with only surface rust firmly supports the black steel patina finished floor pans and surface exhaust in single form. Body hangers are rust free and it is definitely an all-solid undercarriage environment. Providing the ride are transverse leaf springs for the front and rear suspension which work with drum brakes on all 4 corners. Very nicely done down here.
Drive-Ability
She started right up, and on the test track had solid acceleration and bias free braking. Steering was smooth and shifting was the same. All other functions were working as they should but we noticed a soft brake pedal and a slight tap from the engine that went away once we achieved operating temperature.
In keeping most of its original charm, we see an overall very good condition automobile, with that fab grille! Much of the original trimmings and steel panels have been retained and the paint is excellent, still shiny after all those years showing no battle scars. It is time to do another bucket list thing in retirement, so advantage YOU! Come and get it!

For consignment, a 2012 Lotus Evora S drenched in can't miss is Papaya Yellow. ...This racer comes to us as a 2 owner car, and a somewhat rare bird, as only 50 of the S models were made that year. ...

Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer, he’......s a demon on wheels! ... Papaya Yellow bathes this low slung speed skate, and it sports some custom gray striping. ... A few black accents are noted throughout the bodywork, which is made up of aluminum tub and steel rear subframe to take the torque and solidly put it to the rear wheels. ... The chassis is a 6000 Series alloy extrusion engineered to be bonded with an epoxy and riveted construction system. ... It is a mid-engine car for low drag efficiency and near perfect 50/50 weight distribution. ...A low view of the front almost is reminiscent of the Corvette design of the same era. ...

Interior
As I slipped past black sculpted leather door panels, I slid into the racing style high back bucket seat, also in black leather with some silver accent panels stitched within the inserts and nice red piping on the edges. ...Here I can gaze upon a full sweep of instrumentation under a large crescent shaped visored dash in black, and it has digital button controls aplenty. ...

1976 Triumph TR6 Roadster Lot #192 (Sale Order 88 of 115) 1976 Triumph TR6 Roadster
Born in jolly old England and now gracing the North Mallway of our Hallowed Halls, we offer for consignment, a Triumph TR6 right out of the 1976 model year. ... A boxy design, factory hardtop, tall tires, long bonnet, short square boot, rectangular rear lighting, vinyl seats, a veneer wood dash, Lucas electrics, Stromberg carburetors and a zippy 6-cylinder engine, all go into making the TR6 a true British Sportscar. ... Previously restored and then purchased by our consignor who has treated it with kid ...gloves and used sparingly, so you can ensure many years and many miles of carefree driving.
***Due to varying emissions control devices being removed, please check with your state, county, local or provincial motor vehicle department to verify the ability to legally register this vehicle in your area***
Exterior
Very straight mostly rust-free steel panels with good gaps adorn this car with only minor inclusions in the paint. ... Bathed in Pimento Red and looking just spit spot with thin chrome bumpers with the less than attractive overrides removed but included with your purchase, are adorning the front and rear of this car. ... We also note a correct chin spoiler is seen in the front and hovering in the TR6 badged grille and added driving lights. ... Badging is correct, and the rear of the car has been finished in red inplace of the oft seen matte black tail panel sporting chrome trimmed wrap around tail/turn/reverse lights seen at the outboard corners. ... The convertible top in black canvas presents with no tearing and a clear but wrinkled plastic rear window. ... Our consignor notes that the top has shrunk and will not fully attach to the body. ... Also included is the rarely seen optional hardtop, making this an all weather sports car. ...15-inch chrome wire wheels on all 4 corners that have been trued and balanced are and are shod in deep treaded BF Goodrich Silvertown red stripe rubber for that period perfect look. ...
Interior
A wood dash with nearly new appearing veneer stretches across the inside of the car and is surrounded by padded black vinyl. ... Essential instrumentation is seen in front of the original steering wheel, and are of course Smiths brand, which was a staple of 1970’......s Triumphs. ... A wood rimmed 3 spoke drilled steering wheel fronts the dash and keeps the English vibe alive. ... Black vinyl buckets with smooth bolsters and tuck and roll inserts have just a touch of wrinkling float in a sea of clean black carpeting with black rubber mats for extra protection and an adequately sized storage area is behind these seats, although this space has been slightly reduced due to the addition of a single hoop rollbar. ...Like new black vinyl door panels cover the doors and are looking just fine with their chrome handles and obligatory map pockets. ... Between the front buckets is the parking brake lever and just ahead of the decidedly British wood knob topped shifter is an aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette stereo. ...
Drivetrain
Flipping open the bonnet we are met with inline OHV 6-cylinder displacing 152ci, 2.5 Liters for those using the Metric system, and is fed by dual Stromberg single barrel downdraft carburetors topped with chrome air cleaners. ... Our consignor notes that the valves have recently been adjusted, a new valve cover gasket has been installed, as well as a new thermostat, radiator, hoses and belts were put on to ensure reliability. ... On the back of the mill is a 4-speed manual transmission with a newer clutch and putting the power to the ground is a rear axle weighing in with a 3.80 ratio. ...
Undercarriage
The frame and underbody are very clean with some surface rust present. ... A strong black painted frame proves the support for the black rust-free flooring. ... A header feeds down to the dual exhaust piped dual muffler exhaust system. ... Recently serviced front disc and rear drum brakes provide the stopping power. ... Front suspension is independent with coil springs, unequal-length A-arms, telescopic shock absorbers, and the rear consists of independent coil springs, semi-trailing arms, lever-arm shock absorbers. ... All well restored and looking spit spot!
Drive-Ability
A test drive in this Triumph was a blast from the past as this writer owned this very same car. ... This TR6 runs smoothly, although had to be choked just a bit for smooth idle until the engine warmed up. ... The transmission shifted up and down without a hitch and the braking was adequate. ... Always a snappy handling car, it brought back good memories, especially with all options fully functional save for the radio not broadcasting and the EGR light being on as the EGR valve has been removed. ... Some wind in your hair, and the throaty exhaust sound goes a long way to calm the soul.
No rust to be seen, a timeless and iconic paint hue, a clean interior with a slightly shrunken soft top and rarely seen hardtop, and a 6 popper with dual Stro

1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Lot #193 (Sale Order 89 of 115) 1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe
In 1940, Chevrolet released an expanded line. The Master 85 was joined by the Master Deluxe, with the Master Deluxe being the fancier, more expensive model. All 1940 models, while similar in style to the 1939s, had received enough of a facelift to give them a more modern, streamlined appearance”....... The Master Deluxe would also be offered in a top-of-the-line convertible called the Special Deluxe series. Both the Master 85 and Master Deluxe lines were offered in a business coupe, two-door town sedan or four-door sport sedan. The 85 line also included a woodie wagon, and the Deluxe line, a Sport Coupe. The Master 85 retained the solid front axle, with the Deluxe series coming with “......knee-action”...... independent front suspensions. The standard engine was the 216.5-CID in-line 6, which provided 85 horsepower. Perhaps the wording in a 1940 magazine advertisement summarizes the 1940 Chevrolet best: “......The Crown of Beauty Belongs to Chevrolet with New Royal Clipper Styling. Chevrolet’......s First again! Eye it . . . Try it . . . Buy it!”......
With this consignment wrenching is an understatement. More like a total transformation and now we give you a fully custom rod version of the 1940 Chevy Master Deluxe. This rebuild has taken many styling cues from the street rod culture such as snappy named pastel paint, the absence of body chrome and an amazing drivetrain. Read on to learn what it takes to make a rod this mean and nasty!
Exterior
Mostly true to its original design, we see straight steel panels, honed to their final curvaceous form, with fat fenders, running boards, a rounded roofline, and curved trunkline. The hood comes to a shiny point with the chromed horizontal lined "Groucho Marx" mustache style front grille clip and is framed on either side by large bullet style headlights that sit proudly on the front fenders along with smaller outboard marker lights. The original trim for the hood runs back toward the raked and Veed dual pane windshield and all of the chrome trim has been shaved or painted body color as well as the rear bumper. An orange and black stripe runs from front to back along the beltline of this exterior and expands to form a bowtie with speed lines trailing rearward at the front of the rear quarter panel. This stripe also stands as the delineation mark between the Vanilla Shake colored upper body and Sweet Georgia Peach that bathes the lower panels. A few chips, dings, and bubbles are noted in this finish, but one must look closely to see them. Polished deep dish custom wheels adorn each corner for that "just right" look.
Interior
Gray broadcloth in a smooth pattern covers most of the custom door panels which now have black billet for the window cranks and actuators. In the center is a dark gray vinyl padded arm rest and finishing the top of the door is silver paint over steel. Moving inside we are greeted with a pair of modern high back bucket seats in perforated light gray broadcloth tuck and roll inserts and smooth charcoal gray bolsters. This pattern continues to the rear seats which are a pair of low back buckets and our consignor notes that these seats are courtesy of a 1991 Dodge Daytona. A small console and Hurst shifter for the automatic transmission are noted and all of this is supported by gray carpeting with clean gray carpeted mats. Upfront looking to the dash for more inspiration is a tilt steering column, a gray wrapped bowtie logoed wheel, modified simplified custom dash with a mix of VDO and AutoMeter white face gauges and a Mooneyes tachometer. Also noted is an AM/FM/CD radio with a Streetrod badge attached to the factory chrome speaker grille. A clean gray broadcloth headliner hangs above and shows as new.
Drivetrain
A recently rebuilt 1974 350ci V8 removed from a 1974 Monte Carlo rests in the closed side engine bay, very clean and spit shined with smatterings of polished aluminum for the valve covers and air cleaner assembly, both by Edelbrock. Feeding this healthy mill mill its dose of air and fossils is an Edelbrock 4bbl carburetor and the valves are actuated by an Edlebrock Performer camshaft. A TH350 transmission, which is a 3-speed automatic, is attached and a 10-bolt Positraction 3.08 geared rear axle from a 1974 Camaro puts the power to the pavement.
Undercarriage
A nicely done frame, flooring and body hangers are finished in black with a smattering of minor surface rust but no structural issues are seen. A Mustang II independent coil spring front suspension is on along with power disc brakes and for the rear we see leaf springs and power drums. Lest I forget, this car has a dual exhaust system Flowmaster mufflers which snakes its way rearward and ends well in chromed tips.
Drive-Ability
Upon the fire up we were met with a nice throaty sound. Popping it into gear is effortless and we were off to the test track. This car has good acceleration, a nice ride, good bra

2000 Jaguar XJ8 Lot #196 (Sale Order 90 of 115) 2000 Jaguar XJ8 Sedan
Offered for auction at no reserve is this 2000 Jaguar XJ8 Sedan in Carnival Red Mica with a perfectly aged but not abused Cashmere leather and walnut burl interior and sporting 105,740 title verified miles. Equipped with all power features including electric sunroof, windows, locks, cruise, ac, AM/FM cassette stereo and automatic climate control. Powered by the 290hp 4.0 liter V8, this XJ8 is offered with only available transmission, the automatic ZF 5-speed. The Jaguar comes equipped with nearly new tires and presents an opportunity to experience the British regal luxury in motoring at a very modest cost. This year still hangs on to the dual headlight, separate chromed grille, and non integrated bumper version for the exterior. A seemingly solidly built car, in 4 doors is nice with steel showing a few dents, scrapes, and dings. The chrome and trim is nicely preserved and is utilized sparingly and tastefully on this car.
For the test drive I decided to have my genius decoder and pro driver take me for a cruise anywhere other than the test track. We wound our way through the countryside of Berks County, and I was treated to a pleasurable chauffeured experience. A shout out to the stereo which saved me from him droning on about all the features of this beautiful car! But I digress and it does provide a great comfortable but slightly noisy ride. We noted that the front struts, bushings and tower plates have been replaced but one strut was not tightened and dropped down into the wheelhouse. We also noted the check engine light was on possibly due to a missing gas cap and we caught the aroma of coolant coming from the engine bay. Big hard, bid fast, and bid often on this luxury sedan from across the pond. Quite right, you're bloody well right!

1972 GMC Sierra Pickup Lot #197 (Sale Order 91 of 115) So the introductory year of the Sierra line is gracing our Hallowed Halls here at Classic Auto Mall and with this truck you could say look it's a big rig, no it’......s a Sierra, no wait…......but I digress. ... Lots of big rig attributes with the cab exterior roof lighting, front bumper light stalks, antennas off of either side, running boards, mud flaps, and a diamond plate topped blue painted rear bumper framing the bottom of an etched with fighting locked antler bucks window sided bed cap. ... Breaker 1-9, break.
Exterior
Not your everyday roller-skate for this worker bee in the form of a 1972 first edition Sierra. ... No ankle biters necessary as we have an original 1972 version only tricked out with some big rig eye candy. ... The original grille leads the way but the buck stops here, (actually it does show up on the bed cap windows!), with a crossed grille trimming flanked by dual headlights. ... The bumper has vertical rubber topped “......push bars”...... in the center and presents shiny. ... Vertical marker lighting tubes atop the corners of the bumper allow the driver to know exactly where his front end is when maneuvering in tight spaces. ... Steel is all straight and rust free, and is bathed in two tone medium blue and pure white. ... The cab exterior starts on top with the white, then changes over to the blue for the hood and upper beltline length, then back to white for the centers and then after a black plastic wide trimming more blue for the rockers running the length. ... On the cab are some big rig styled roof clearance lighting. ... Chromed large mirrors hang off of either door and the driver's side sports a CB antenna. ... The bed cap is aluminum and is similar to the exterior in color scheme but with the etched fighting bucks in the bubble windows. ... A diamond plated rear bumper painted in body matching blue is seen under the rear cap door and tailgate. ... The bed is carpeted and has a spare tire within it. ... Standard GMC “......bolt”...... on styled wheel coverings with GMC badged hubs are on each corner. ... I'm keeping it at double nickel for this review!
Interior
Doors panels are in blue with a central wood appliqué... panel which shows some wear at the actuators. ... A bench seat in a multitude of vinyl designs, mainly lighter blue tuck and roll upper back panels, darker blue stitched vertical panels for inserts, and a Sheridan “......carved”...... darker blue bordering of vinyl frames the inserts before it goes to full blown lighter blue smooth vinyl bolsters. ... The blue dash is looking clean and easy, and there is blue where the black instrument bezel once was, which is all clean and green (well blue). ...Round blackface gauges are in front of a factory blue wheel and the dash has climate sliders as well as an aftermarket stereo, and a CB hanging below the dash. ... Gray carpeting slightly soiled is on the floor, and on back some handmade curtains, (done by the “......wife”......), hang from the rear glass.
Drivetrain
A flip of the hood shows an unrestored truck like engine bay. ... This has plenty of dirt, patina and some grease floating around at various spots. In the middle is the moment shot in a correct 350ci V8, fed by a 4-barrel carb and a TH350 3-speed automatic on back. ... The rear axe is a 12 bolt version. ... ...I’......m dropping the hammer down good buddy.
Undercarriage
Plenty of surface rust, wet grease spotting and framework is seen under this truck. ... All the are surface rusted but structurally sound. ... Suspension is independent coil springs for the front, and a swing arm with coil springs for the rear. ...Power disc brakes are in front and power drums for the back. ...I did notice a crushed muffler.
Drive-Ability
I slipped inside and felt like I was at home with the handmade curtains, CB radio, Sheridan styled seats and the truck accenting is killer kitsch. ... The truck ran fab, and all qualities within were working swimmingly together to propel me down the interstate.
A Protecto-Plate and plenty of receipts keep this truck in order and gives us the ability to see see some of its history. ... Grab a cool drink, to cover that passenger’......s seat, and head in out, maybe stopping for a 10-100, or taking care of heavier business at the choke and puke. ... Big rigging here I come! 10-4!

1960 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop Lot #198 (Sale Order 92 of 115) Let's dial in 1960 on the way back machine and don our Wayfarers as we are going to arrive in the land of cool. ... Sherman, can you hear me Sherman? ... It appears there was a problem with the space time continuator and we've landed in a barn sometime around 2022. ... What was once a wonderful 1960 Chevrolet Impala just dripping with space age styling is now covered in 40 years of dust, dirt and debris. ... Even in this state it's easy to pick out the batwing style rear quarter panels, ...swept back roofline, and bubble glass. ... Call up AAA, I wanna bring this home and breathe some new life into her. ...
Exterior
Faded cool cat looks, and bathed in Tasco Turquoise, shows in a state of disrepair with rust, body filler, dings and dents, but the overall beauty of the last true finned Chevrolet is still shining through. ... Present and accounted for are the grille, bumpers, some trimmings, including partial trim on the bat wing rear fenders, you just cannot go wrong with this early 60’......s looker. ... Gaps are slightly misaligned and the window trimmings, while missing in some areas, are framing perfectly preserved bubble front and wonderfully sloping rear glass. ... A side view is showing a moving cruiser even when it stands still in the studio! ... We note a new half quarter panel was partially installed on the passenger's rear but the rest of the body shows invasive rust in most of the lower body panels. ... And as with all Impalas the triple ice cream cone shaped taillights are within chrome bezels and a pitted and rusted bumper stretches across the bottom and just below. ...14-inch steel wheels with rubber passable enough to roll this around your shop keep this long skate attached to the ground. ... I’......m envisioning crusin’...... in long and low, wide chromed edged bat winged, early 60’......s style baby.
Interior
From the swing of the doors we find the shambles of what was once a black interior. ... Long gone are the door panels, but we note that the rear side panels, while wavy, are present and accounted for. ... A split bench seat in black with smooth vinyl bolsters and cloth inserts is showing as worn and in need of recovering. ... In the back is a matching bench with the iconic Impala logoed rear seat speaker, but the majority of the seat is covered in parts belonging to the car. ... The black painted metal dash has a series of deep insert carved out rounds for the blackface gauges and a rounded B top shape. ... A strip of dimpled aluminum stretches across the bottom of the dash and houses some knobs and pulls right out of the Jetson era. ... A snappy curved A-pillar frames the curved glass and comes to rest just before the doors on the dash. ... The original center chromed chevron style steering wheel with a black rim and half horn ring fronts the dash, and remnants off turquoise carpeting floods the floors ... A fairly tight headliner hangs above and we cannot overlook the larger than life trunk that holds the missing door panels and boxes of parts and trim.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in a dusty, dirty and patined ...engine bay is a GM orange/red block and valve covered 235ci inline 6 cylinder. ... It is topped with a single 2-barrel carburetor, and a 3-speed manual shifted from the tree. ... A 3.36 rear axle is on to turn the rear tires.
Undercarriage
Independent coil springs for the front and a 4 link with coil springs for the rear and drum front and rear brakes are all looking. ... Floor pans and rockers show as patinaed but original and have a healthy undercoating covering them. ... We note a few small areas of invasive rust in the flooring, body hangers and inner rockers but overall the environment is structurally solid. ... Single exhaust is on and shows as surface rusted but intact
Drive-Ability
While not a runner at this time, our consignor notes that this car did run when it was parked nearly 40 years ago.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop Lot #199 (Sale Order 93 of 115) An original design kept for this car, all bathed in 50’......s Onyx Black paint with a two tone interior, original wheels, bumpers and styling with a few faults that come with this driver quality survivor classic. ... ...And, with its factory 283ci V8, single 2-barrel carb and 2-speed Powerglide tranny, and this writer cannot help falling in love again.
Exterior
Led off by its Ferrari inspired gold egg crate grille, chromed and Dagmar-ed front bumper, which is showing off all its shine like a spread feathered peacock we can see the lead-ins for a real hit, maybe even a home run design. ... A dual rocketed chromed adorned hood with a long bump running rearward to the windshield, the gold anodized shiny Chevron on the front of the hood that has Chevrolet badging in your grandmother’......s handwriting in gold, matching the egg crate below (only for 1957!). ... On either side the swoop spear with ribbed metal insert, and India Ivory background on the rear quarter is looking original. ... Door and fender panels are straight, have some dents and dings, scratches and swirls in the paint, and slight beginnings of rust bubbling below the paint particularly on ...the lowers of this car. ...Gaps are minded very well. ... Bringing up the rear is another curved wraparound chrome encircled rear glass, and a neatly curled around trunk lid which is flanked by the finned rear quarters complete with chrome topper trimmings and lower tail lights in the form of crescent moons. ...Just below the back up lighting is an oval inserted into the rear bumper. ... Wheels are chromed knockoff styled hubcaps wrapped in wide whites on all 4 corners. ... ...
Interior
The spectacular cockpits in second-generation Bel Airs need no introduction, but here goes. ...Depress the button on this hardtop's mirrored door handle and you'll find a gorgeous black and red interior that stays very true to the car's factory scheme. ... Broad bench seats feature supple red piped hides that fit well and feel great. ...The inserts are in the black flagstone pattern with some silver edging on the “......stones”....... ... There are areas off wear in this broadcloth where it is fraying and thinning. ... Beneath those seats, black carpet is all covering and doing a very good job at it. ... At the edges of that rug, retro door panels anchor small red vinyl armrests and stainless cranks and actuators just above. ... Red sills to hang your elbow out while driving provide the tops which then transition over to the flagstone black broadcloth panels, a mid swoop spear if you will, red vinyl section, and more black flagstone for the bottoms with just a touch of black smooth vinyl. ... A full metal jacket dash hangs all original hardware for climate controls and various knobs and pulls within the square textured aluminum strip. ... This is seen below the red dash top and a squared off visor keeps the instruments shaded and are shown in a trio of metal circular red bezels. ... Some lights are also in thimble shaped bezels and are peppering this dash as well. ... An AM radio graces the aluminum panel in the center of the car, and fronting the driver’......s side is an original red steering wheel with a full circle shiny horn ring. ... The back bench has the same trimmings as the front bench and floating above is a nice tight red vinyl headliner. ... Way to go hound dog!
Drivetrain
Under the hood in the unrestored but still nicely presenting ... engine bay now sits the correct 283 V8 with red/orange GM painted block and valve coverings. ... A single 2bbl carburetor is atop, and a Powerglide 2-speed automatic is on back. The rear axle presents with a BB stamping code and is in 3.36 configuration. ... All under this hood is very nice, with some patina, supple newer belts and hose. ...A nice driver presentation.
Undercarriage
Park this Bel Air on a lift and you'll find a super clean, slightly patina’......d and minimal surface rusted undercarriage that's nice enough to show and tough enough to go. ... All is still structurally sound on this front. ... Independent coil springs for the front and leaf springs for the back are on and drum brakes are on all 4 corners too. ...Stock style dual exhaust has rotted out mufflers and should be renewed for safety.
Drive-Ability
This original factory V8 fired right up, and seemed to always run rough, most likely due to old gas. It could use a good tune up as well and all this will be remedied. ... With this rough run it was difficult to really realize the potential of this car. ...Although smooth shifting from the Powerglide 2-speed and good creak free handling was experienced. ... All functions were working well, and it was a pleasurable test drive.
A nice example which has not been ratted, or rodded, or restoration-modded, just brought back to look original for 1957 then driven for enjoyment. ... Paint is less than perfect with some faults, but is definitely the right color. ... 90 percent of the work is

Offering for consignment, the last year of production of this model Cadillac, which was available only in convertible form. ... A stout Northstar V8 is crammed in under the hood, and in 1993 was subjected to the gas guzzler tax, but hey, performance was king with this car.
Exterior
A nice coating of Pearl Red covers the exterior of this steel paneled car. ...

The canvas convertible top, in black, is in good condition and operates smoothly but manually and sports a glass rear window.
Interior
Black leather-trimmed bucket seats orthopedically designed to provide optimal support and comfort are seen when opening the door. ... The seats have power eight-way metaphoric adjustments and a new four-way power lumbar control. ... These buckets are showing with slight expanding of the leather on the drivers insert on the leather but remain very nice. ... They flank a center console equipped with a transmission shift selector that is slightly offset 20 degrees toward the driver for ease of shifting. ... Leather stitching as well as nicely molded contrasting plastic make up the door panels. ... Power window, seat adjustment, and power locks are a few of the buttons seen in the door armrest area. ...

A cozy and luxurious interior environment if you will please. ...Step in and enjoy the ride in ultimate comfort.
Drivetrain
This car’......s debut also introduced the world to the Northstar V-8 engine, which now powered the Allante, replacing the V-8 formerly used. ... As with all other Northstar applications, the 4.6-liter V-8 was paired with the 4T80-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. ... The Northstar engine featured highly efficient compound-geometry valve/port designs and “......quiet coil" Direct Ignition System designed to operate at high rpm levels without loss of spark synchronization. ...The engine’......s dual stream injector Fluid Induction System was another innovation.

Free-wheeling clutches ensure consistent shifting quality. ...Turning the front tires is a 3.71 final drive.

Structurally sound and featuring a vastly upgraded road sensing suspension, speed sensitive steering and the new-generation Bosch ASRIIU traction control system. ...This convertible also benefits from receiving the short/long arm (SLA) rear suspension that improves steering responsiveness. ... Power disc brakes are all around and 4-wheel independent suspension is on.
Drive-Ability

A luxurious powerful toy could best describe this small but near muscle horsepower Caddy. ... A smooth runner, quick starter, and well maintained mechanically automobile, with a few exterior scrapes and nice interior. ... Drop the top and go for a winding cruise in the middle of nowhere and you will quickly be lost in your own satisfaction.

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Lot #202 (Sale Order 95 of 115) 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
Imagine a car so popular that a new term came to be based on that design. That name is Tri-Five, which refers to 1955, 1956, and 1957 Chevrolet automobiles, in particular the Bel Air, 150, 210, Hardtops, Sedans, Wagons and the Nomad. With beautiful proportions and new skins each of those successive years, and a thorough peppering of chrome, these cars produced in this time became iconic. From all original to highly modified versions, many Tri-Five clubs have sprung up to showcase individuality, originality, and the beloved Chevrolet concepts of Harley Earl and his team.
Wooing you in the configuration of its original form, a first year example of the Tri Five phenomenon that was about to hit the country with this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. A body off restoration was completed in 1995 and a mere 122 miles added to the odometer since it was completed. A few issues are present on this drop top dream, but they don’......t come along every day, as a matter of fact this is only the second 1955 Chevrolet convertible to grace our hallowed halls over the years and thousands of cars through our inventory.
Exterior
Mostly straight steel panels make up this 1st year Tri-Five which display with ill fitted gaps, particularly on the trunk lid, hood, trimmings and doors. It shows cracking, crazing, and solvent pop, along with some dimpling. From a distance all this disappears, and just shows as overall presentable and the saturation remains good. Upfront starting with its baseball cap brimmed headlights, to the egg crate grille, and large lower bumper there is plenty of chromed trimmings to go around on this car. No panel has been left wanting for trim, as on the front quarters, there is the beginnings of the trim spear and mid panel, and below on the back of the wheel well, is a trimming that starts within the wheel well surround and makes its way rearward on the rockers. Mid door where the front spear ends, picks up with another trim spear that eventually will end on back, but is now the dividing line between the deep Harbor blue, and the bright white. A vertical chromed faux vent (if you will) provides the delineation between the side panel blue and white...OH!! those were the days. Not to be outdone by the front, piqued lantern style taillights frame the rear on either corner and frame the cloisonne badge and bright silver V in the center of the trunk lid. A snug fitting rear bumper is present down low and noticeable cracks in the body are seen just below the taillights. White canvas in pretty clean and unripped shape moves up and down electrically while you sit and watch in amazement. Moon capped center deep dog dish style wheel covers cover wide whites all around completing the 50's look.
Interior
A swing of the large doors, and we have yet another swoop spear trimming which creates the border between the white and blue vinyl that makes up the door panels. Just a bit of soiling is on the high use areas of this door panel and we note 4 switches to control the power windows. Moving inside we see more blue and white vinyl, blue for the tuck and roll inserts, and white for the bolsters and frame of the seat surround. This stays the course in the back bench which has a blue vinyl lower, and a “......bracket”...... style white curved upper motif, to all the seats, all of which are beautifully recovered. An original dash in blue steel stretches from door to door and includes dual fan-like bump ups, one to house the speedo and gauge cluster, and the other for the radio speaker with Bel Air badging in your grandmother’......s handwriting. An original blue bakelite steering wheel with a full round horn trim in the center and pointed center, fronts the dash. Beautiful black carpet floods all the floors and beneath the Bel Air scripted mats, has nary a mark on it. In the central portion of the dash within the bowtie pattern aluminum strip is an AM/FM/Cassette radio.
Drivetrain
A nicely buttoned up orange painted V8 configured in a 265 V8, has a Rochester 2-barrel carburetor atop. This rests in a slightly dusty but well restored engine bay. A 2-speed automatic Powerglide transmission is on back and sends power to a 3.36 geared rear axle
Undercarriage
All painted black and all rust free from all that climate-controlled storage over the years, this beauty underneath is very sound structurally. Independent coil spring suspension is upfront, and leaf springs for the rear, as well as drum brakes all around. The X frame is looking good as are the floorpans and wheel wells. Dual exhaust has been added to expedite spent fossil removal.
Drive-Ability
She fires right up, and has a slightly rough idle, possibly from storage, old fuel and the need for a tune up. Off to the test track it performed as it should with decent acceleration, good handling, and quick stopping with those drum brakes. During my tenure behind the wheel I noted the wipers

For consignment, year 1 version 1 of the soon to be iconic Ford Thunderbird. ... And you WILL want one! ... Bathed in Raven Black, it does not get any more mid 50’......s looking than this wonderful 2 seat bird. ... The entire package is very attractive, but the thing that sends this writer over the top is the early simplistic design. ... An overall 4 out of 5 on the judgement scale, all looking good and rust free. ... Top flite for this bird!
Exterior
Starting upfront, we can see a beautiful original and mirror like bumper with mini “......Dagmar”...... style bumper-ettes attached which take on a jet engine like appearance. ... Directly above is a well preserved shiny egg crate grille, and flanking this on either side is a single visored headlight. ... A long scooped hood rolls its way back to the passenger compartment which is small, and is topped with a convertible top in black, tear free and fade free canvas and sporting a clear plastic rear window. ... On the back small fins tip round tail lights again, emulating jet age design, and another clear bumper this time the “......Dagmars”...... house the exhaust tailpipes. ... The gas cap door utilizes a crossed checkered flag with a cloisonné... Ford shield just above. ... Wide whites surround 15-inch Kelsey Hayes chrome wire wheels which have a central Thunderbird badged "spinner" center hub for some extra chutzpah. ... All metal is painted in Raven Black paint, and has nicely preserved gaps. ... A few scuffs are noted throughout the body ...in various areas. ... From its fender skirts to the chromed venting on the front quarters to the tasteful fins and jet engine tail lights, “......Dagmars”...... and all, it's super snazzy. ... Bring on the malt shop!
Interior
The curvaceous thick door panels are wrapped in white vinyl with some black vinyl covered swooping upward long armrests, and a black padded window sill attached at the top. There is a large panel of machined aluminum through the center which is the background for the door actuator and power seat toggles, meanwhile just below in the white vinyl are the power window toggles. ... These are decently clean with the aluminum showing a few dimples and white some smudging. ... This panel looks the part, as it melts into the curved dash keeping the machined metal line through the center. ... A fan style black background with white numbered speedometer is above on the painted metal black dash top and more black for below the machined strip of aluminum. ... Flanking on either side of the speedo are round gauges, one a factory tachometer, and the other a clock. ... Also noted the radio has been upgraded to a modern AM/FM unit. ... Fronting a near perfect bench seat is a plastic and chromed bezeled small shift lever well within reach of the driver on the hump. The seat is complete with black smooth bolsters and surrounds, and shows with white tuck and roll inserts and some black piping at the seams, and it stretches from door to door. ... Nice condition black carpeting floods the floors, and the black bakelite and chrome horn ring steering wheel fronts the pristine dash. ... A black tonneau cover is on the rear body/passenger sill, and awaits to cover the top when it is in the down position. ... Totally delicious in this presentation. ...
Drivetrain
A 292ci V8 engine is in a clean and shiny engine bay. ... It is topped with a 4-barrel carburetor, and a chromed beehive shaped air cleaner cover. ... Red is reserved for the block, and polished and turquoise Thunderbird badged horizontal ribbed valve covers add some more bling to the bay. ... A 3-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission, and a Dana 44 3.31 gear ratio rear axle is in back. ... An original and well restored looking presentation under the hood. ... Some newer wiring and supple hoses are also on. ... ...
Undercarriage
Just a bit of surface rust, and the X frame, floor pans and rockers are preserved with the surface rust and no structural damage from said invader of many a classic. ... Independent coil springs for the front, and leaf springs for the rear make up the suspension with drum brakes all around. ... A newer fuel tank is now installed, looking fine on this underside!
Drive-Ability
Not a ton of room in these early birds, but once in, they are comfy. ... This car fired right up and took off for the test track where it flew around in circles with ease. ... A strong accelerator, and good stopper are also good qualities to have in such an early car and they are there. ... This bird struggles only with the power seat not moving fore or aft, however the tilting functions work as designed.
All in all a good example that has been restored a bit ago but still retains its luster and charm. ... A convertible always assures you happy motoring throughout the year, although with a classic as such I personally don’......t know whether you would be doing too much winter driving. ... Either way you can

An egg crate grille and big bumper framing the bottom just gleam in the spotlights! ...Steel panels minding their gaps and are all bathed in two tone Regency Purple Poly, and Snowshoe White. ... It is broken up by the polished stainless steel of the now famous 'Fairlane strip' or swoop spear which flows gracefully from the top of the front fenders down the side of the car and hits the taillights mid fender. ...

The door panels which mimic the “......Fairlane Strip”...... are black up top, and white on the bottom and sport thin chrome delineation trimmings. ...These doors seamlessly melt into the wrap around glass and dash top which is full metal jacket. ...The back bench is noteworthy as it has an armrest inserted and above is framed by a multiple stepped “......V”...... with the Ford logo inside…......just beautifully cool in its own way. ... These seats are fronted by a perfect dash, in white dash front and black dash top metal, and with all correct circular function control bezels. ...In front of the driver, a crescent rises from the dash top to create the sweep speedo that you cannot miss. ...All this is floating within an impeccable black thick pile carpet. ... The headliner is just as impressive on the inside with the stainless basket handle breaking it up, and in white vinyl. ... The trunk has had the once over with the correct Ford gray plaid trunk liner. ...You ain’......t nuthn’...... but a hound dog!

For consignment, a 1963 Galaxie 500 convertible that I would classify as a stunner and even go as far to proclaim it is a piece of creamy white chocolate bon bon eye candy, with a cherry filling in the center. ... George Jetson-esque styling on the steel side slabs, plenty of chrome trimming adornments and beautiful badging, snappy wheels, and ...its a convertible!! ... This is a very nice ... morsel of early 60’......s road rocketing donning our Hallowed Halls.
Exterior
Corinthian White in a respray covers straight steel panels that maintain very good gaps. ... The metal is near perfect, the paint is shiny and deep, and is highlighted by an upper trim spear that works its way to the rear, heads briefly downward, then returns to just in front of the front quarter. ... In front of the downward turn on the rear quarter, is a series of vertical rectangles which add to the jet age mystique. ... Dual front headlights within a well preserved shiny and fine detailed designed egg crate grille has a nice cloisonné... badge in the center ... make up the front view and the front bumper is very nice as well. ... As we move to the rear, round jet engine style tail lights have beautiful bezels and 4 spikes that come to the center and form a circle around a backup light. ... More egg crate shaver guard styling is on the rear below the trunk, and below is a nicely preserved rear bumper. ... Not to be forgotten is the convertible top in pristine shiny coated canvas with a plastic rear window, clean and clear. ...

The front split bench is red tuck and roll inserts and smooth red bolsters with some white piping racing around the border of the two. ... The rear seat sprawls from panel to panel and mimics the front. ... All upholstery appears to be new old stock material and was possibly hand sewn to make the seats better than new. ... A very clean and shiny red original dash and steering wheel are noted, and all is looking futuristic for 1963. Think the dash of the Millennium Falcon only its a Galaxy! (sic). The instrument cluster has a spaceship styling to it, and we see an original AM radio in the center which is an aluminum polished horizontal strip below the red metal still on the dash front. ... Deep red carpet floods the floors, and above the top is padded on the inside.

1963 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible Lot #206 (Sale Order 99 of 115) 1963 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible ...
There was nothing better than being a TWA pilot or “......stewardess”...... as this jet set status was all the rage in 1963. ... And to emulate all this high-flying high-speed travel for whimsy attitude, we give you for consignment, a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura convertible. ... Just look at that side view and it’......s as if we are looking at a streaking jet flying across a blue sky peppered with puffy clouds to some exotic destination where you sun yourself, drink a cocktail with an umbrella in it, and eat fondue. ... A full restoration was completed in 2006 which included a new engine, (Ford Mustang 289), a green dot C4 transmission and an 8 inch anti slip differential. ... Wheels UP!
Exterior
Look ...up in the sky...it’......s a bird...no it's a plane...no its the side spear and rocket styling for the front and rear of the car on this wonderful Futura. ... Steel panels all bathed in red with a wide red painted stamped side body spear, and a chromed trim spear flying from front to to rear on the beltline, beginning as a faux arrowhead vent and ending as a Futura badge. ... The simple V shaped shaver-esqe grille with single headlights on either corner looks fine with its trimmings, and a shiny front bumper with very light dulling. ... A red hood with a chrome trimmed scoop shows early signs of some manufacturer muscle flexing, but it’......s still early in the game. ... A beige canvas convertible top in good condition is power actuated and moves up and down smoothly with a plastic rear window. ... What a profile on this car with the top down. ... Pure jet age, I just cannot say enough about it. ... Even the tail uses jet engine round tail lights with half circle stamped steel on either side. ... Rounding out all 4 corners are 14-inch Magnum 500 shiny Wheels and like new ... raised white letter BFG Radial T/A rubber from 2019.
Interior
It does not get any better than simple red on red, and this car is as simplistic yet stylish as it gets. ... Red tuck and roll door panels with painted red sills are nearly perfect. ... Seats reverse the pattern and use red tuck and roll inserts, and deep red smooth bolsters then turn again to smooth red lower and upper surrounds. ... This pattern continues on the rear bench. ... A very clean and very original dash utilizes chromed trim, and a red aged bakelite insert which is topped by the speedometer. ... Plenty of pull knobs for all the controls and I feel like I’......m in the Jetson's flying car. ... A very nicely redone to original look, even a new ... classic looking sound system complete with an amp mounted under the front seat. ... Red carpet for the floors all in great condition. ... Pure classic and looking original for this rocket ship.
Drivetrain
For the 2006 restoration the original engine was pulled and a 1965 Mustang 289 V8 replaced it. ... The mill was completely rebuilt by Howards Engine of Scranton PA so it runs like a Swiss watch. ...On back is a rare Green Dot C4 automatic tranny and this is coupled with an 8 inch 3.55 rear pumpkin with TracLoc capabilities. ...

Bathed in medium blue metallic, there are several areas on the surface of this car that show runs, marbling of the finish and dryness of the new paint. ... There are areas that have been wet sanded ...but never finished, creating a haziness on various panels as well. ... Overall the gaps are fairly consistent, and the chrome is dimpled. ...

The coves just behind the front wheels flare into the fender nicely and down below is ...some snappy stainless and black rocker trimmings. ...

Interior
Peering through the removable “......t”...... top we see slightly wrinkled seat covers covering the high back buckets which are tan leather and looking very sharp. ...

Drivetrain
Under the forward hinged hood lies a L82 350ci V8 with a single 4-barrel carburetor perched atop an Edelbrock intake manifold. ... Some chrome for the air cleaner and valve covers dresses up the lightly patined engine bay and we note a newer AC compressor has been installed. ... Bolted to the back is a T10 4-speed manual transmission that sends power to a 3.08 Positraction rear axle to put the power to the pavement.
Undercarriage
All nice underneath with a good sound structural frame and floor pans. ... Some patina and road dirt are noted here along with some slight surface rust on the usual suspects. ... Dual exhaust snakes its way rearward from the long tube headers and runs to the back of the car before ending in a pair of stock style mufflers. ...

With its lovely lines, “......T”...... tops and an engine that was top of the heap for the model year, this car is a good driver. ... The paint condition prevents it from being a really nice car, however, certainly is not a deal breaker. ... A turnkey and have fun Vette from 1977 which was a very good year.

It is best described as a luxury sports coupe and offers up a comfy ride to boot! ...

With lots-o-polished brass fixtures and maroon paint, along with a full leather interior allowing seating for a minimum of 8 possibly up to 12 passengers, let's go for a spin on these rutty dirt roads to the middle of nowhere.
Exterior
They say brass is class, and this car will not disappoint with a stunning radiator cowl with its brass and copper temp gauge topper, we are in the 5 to 6 thousand dollar range already and we haven’......t even gotten to the meat of the car. ... Worth the price of admission, all this brass and copper have beautiful early pre “......Oldsmobile”...... REO badging which is spectacular. ...

More of a peppering of brass is on with door handles, tail light bezels, acetylene tank housing, gas cap filler seals, windshield surround and some hinges and locks. ... Another simple black and pinstriped fender frames the rear tires and on ...back we note a fold down trunk rack. ...The framing and rockers are steel and painted in contrasting cream as is the front suspension, open to see. ... All beautifully restored to perfection and very few faults to speak of…......in fact none!
Interior

These are presented in saddle brown leather with tufted and button triangulated stuffing treatments. ...They are like new and have curved overstuffed arms. ... In back, a rounded off half circular bench seat, (and it IS massive), and has many sacrificial cows covered in tufted and buttoned leather. ...It curves around the back of the car and sits in a steel maroon painted tub. ... There is a door on the passenger's side for access to this bench and on the drivers side is a storage cabinet with a top door so you will need to climb over it and the acetylene tank covering to get in on this side. ... (Go ‘......round to the other side!) ... Laminated wood flooring is throughout, even the running boards, as well as some tuck and tufted and buttoned side panels also in saddle leather. ... The dash is a shiny aluminum plate with a wood box in the center housing the instruments along with some levers and knobs. ... A brass steering column reaches for the driver and is topped with a brass center spoked steering wheel surrounded with oak. ...Also noted is a brass speedometer by Stewart Instruments looking more like a boiler room gauge cluster than for a car! ...
Drivetrain

A truly concours restoration with no expense spared on all fronts. ...So nice to have such an early Brass Era example in our Hallowed Halls, and it harkens back to a time when money was unlimited for some and they spent it with willingness to spare. ... Throw in 12 of your besties and take off in 1914 Brass Era style, when motoring was an adventure. ... Just to go to the grocery store was a task, there is also plenty of room for those too!

With its beautifully curving front fenders which gently dance down to the running boards that attach to the nearly inset rear curving fenders, we have a great trailblazing design.

Upon opening the cowls we reveal a masterpiece of late 1920’......s engineering with the heavy 303ci L-head V8 engine. ...This is beautifully covered in paint and polished parts and is topped by a 2-barrel Cadillac Johnson carburetor. ... A 3-speed selective sliding gear manual transmission original to the car, just like the engine, is attached to the rear of the engine. ...A 4.54 ratio rear axle works to propel the car. ...

With early consultation with designer Harley Earl, Lawrence P. Fisher, (of Fisher body fame), now GM President, made a decision to have a fresh design that changed the course of an entire industry with regard to styling and marketing. ...

Great color combination, (using the two tones adds more class according to Earl), and blue leather interior that is well appointed in the open air environment.

1963 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible Lot #211 (Sale Order 104 of 115) 1963 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible
The Oldsmobile 88 is a full-size car that was sold and produced by Oldsmobile from 1949 until 1999. From 1950 until 1974, the 88 was the division's most profitable line, particularly the entry level models such as the 88 and Dynamic 88. An all-new body and chassis with perimeter "Guard Beam" frame and all-coil suspension replacing the previous leaf springs highlighted the 1961 full-sized Oldsmobiles, which were joined by the new compact F-85. All full-sized Oldsmobiles were now powered by the 394-cubic-inch Rocket V8 with the Dynamic 88 getting a two-barrel, 250hp version that used regular gas, while the Super 88 was powered by a four-barrel "Ultra High Compression" 394 Skyrocket V8 rated at 325hp. The Skyrocket engine was available as an extra-cost option on the Dynamic 88. A new three-speed "Roto" Hydra-matic transmission that was smaller and lighter than the previous four-speed unit was introduced as an option.
Enter this 1963 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 for consignment, in eye-catching red, a top that goes down with the flick of a switch and a rust free, dent free and ding free body, it's hard to pass this one by. This car begs for a felt Stetson with a tweed band and some side feathers, and a thin necktie. A beautiful contrasting white interior, gives this 2-door convertible plenty of class, whether it’......s the commute and from work, or out for a Sunday drive…......remember those?’......’......
Exterior
Straight steel all bathed in a respray of the original Holiday Red paint which presents very nicely. Overall, the paint is well applied with only minor inclusions and cracking of the finish. Dramatic crisply peaked fenders and quarter panels are dominant features on this body, strikingly unique among the GM brands, but aiding owners with regards to outermost body locations while driving. Atop the rear quarter panel fins we see a bright stainless trim spear which flows rearward and ends by splitting the tail light lens in half. A thin trim spear runs down the side mid beltline and is highlighted at the front by DYNAMIC 88 in chrome block letter. Chrome for the bumpers is all excellent as is the front grille, which is made up of horizontal chrome bar and is flanked by dual headlights on either side. More chrome trim highlights the ample windshield glass and passenger compartment. A tight white convertible top is on with no tearing and only minor staining. This top is power actuated and has a plastic rear window which has a few small areas of fogging. 14-inch turbine style wheel covers with Oldsmobile Rocket badged faux center spinners are wrapped with thin whitewall 215/75-R14’......s on all 4 corners.
Interior
Near perfect faux leather pattern white vinyl is interplaying with chrome trimming, smooth vinyl and horizontally stitched vinyl wrapping around the door panels. A rocket in a sunburst badge is top and center on the doors, and black carpeting covers the lowers. Inside we are met with a sprawling split bench front seat in more clean white vinyl. Smooth bolsters with white piping separate them from the wide section tuck and roll inserts. A rear bench is in back in the same pattern with a central chrome dressed speaker and looks nearly unused. In front of the driver and the original steering wheel is a symmetrical dash with a central red Olds star badge, and black for the padded dash top and white for the metal painted dash front. A few brushed and ribbed aluminum panels are also here housing the pulls and knobs. The original AM/FM radio resides here as well as the heat/defrost slides. Like new black carpeting floods the floors and compliments the white vinyl splendidly.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is an engine aficionado’......s dreamland where the Olds engineers have placed an Ultra High Compression 394ci Skyrocket V8. The space race even continued into the engine names, what a time to be alive! This red painted mill is topped with a 4bbl carburetor, ribbed red painted coverings, and a black with red pie plate air cleaner assembly. A 3-speed Roto-Hydramatic automatic transmission is on the back, and the rear axle weighs in with a 2.87 ratio.
Undercarriage
Clean with an ample application of rustproofing texture coating is seen throughout and even surface rust hasn't dared to rear its head. All strong and black for the frame, flooring, rockers and suspension. Independent coil spring suspension and a 4 link with coil springs provides the ride, and the power drum braking brings you back to earth safely. Also, a stock style dual exhaust system is seen snaking its way rearward from the Rocket under the hood.
Drive-Ability
Thanks to a stretch of mild Spring weather we dropped the top, donned our shades and off to the test track we went. All was performing just nicely with snappy acceleration, good solid handling, and bias free braking thanks to a newly installed master cylinder. All seemed to be working during ou

2019 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT Convertible Lot #212 (Sale Order 105 of 115) 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT Convertible
Fast forward to 2019, and we have a lucky find as the consignor is ready to part company with this 1 of 6 interior and exterior color combination multi-time show winning Stingray 2LT convertible. ... With a mere 37,530 original miles clocked, ...a 6.2-liter V8 DI/VVT, an 8-speed paddle shifted automatic transmission, ...a top that goes down, plenty of added extras and 465 horses under the hood, you could be in the seat of some of the latest technology with a mere push of the starter button.
Exterior
High intensity headlamps lead the way along with Xenon parking and running lamps which are bordered with LED park and turn signals and an integral splitter on the fascia in front. ... A large black grille feeds plenty of air into the engine bay and in keeping with tradition, a subtle but effective Corvette cove, now barely discernible, is within the front quarters. ...This all creates a diamond edged muscular look, especially with the extremely raked back front glass, almost like a chopped roofline, that rolls up to the fully power actuated black canvas convertible top. ... There is a carbon fiber hood, rear spoiler and side rocker extensions which are somewhat an ode to the former side pipes that would grace the predecessors of this beautiful sports car. ... On back, racy taillights and a black rear roll panel if you will sport quad exhaust in the center. ... Lightly tinted glass all around adds to the menacing aspect, and 19-inch front and 20-inch rear chrome clad aluminum wheels are wrapped in new tires which are Michelins from the 23rd week of 2023.
Interior
Kalahari leather GT bucket seats with 8-way power adjusters provide the cockpit seating arrangement. ... Dual zone A/C is available, power windows, a central drivers info center, and a telescoping steering column with a leather wrapped rally wheel and paddle shifters front this high tech dash. ... The 8-inch touchscreen offers up plenty of accessible features including Bluetooth, Apple car play, Android auto, 4GLTE WIFI, and XM radio which you’......ll need a subscription for. ... A very simple central digital LED dash displays a tachometer switchable to a speedometer display, and digital oil psi and water temp gauges on either side. ... Analog pointer gauges flank on either side and provide the rest of the data needed to carry on and a heads up display is optioned on for when you don't have time to look down. ... Also noted in the central dash are plenty of buttons to control temp of seats, air flow front and rear defrost and A/C. ... A wide central console which doubles as an armrest and storage houses the shift lever and a wheel style mouse to make handling and suspension changes on the fly. ... All beautifully taken care of and in near mint clean condition for this interior.
Drivetrain
Fairly unassuming until a pop of the hood, but there is a caged monster under those plastic coverings! ...6.2 Liters of V8 with direct injection and variable valve timing. ... On back for this Stingray is an 8-speed paddle shifted 8L90E automatic transmission and an active limited slip 3.42 rear axle. ... All this adds up to an output of 460 horses!
Undercarriage
All clean and rust free we see 4-wheel independent suspension with active handling stability and traction control. ... There is speed sensitive power steering and multi-mode exhaust. ... Monster sized brakes in power disc form are on all 4 corners to bring this Stingray to a halt.
Drive-Ability
A mighty roar with the push of a button, and we were off to the test track. ... Handling was wonderful, braking on a dime, and infinite acceleration quickly overwhelmed the test track. ... Ergonomically it is very comfy once you get in, (it's very low!), and all functions were working as they should.
One man’......s loss is another’......s gain as they say, and this virtually new 1 of 6 built Vette from 2019 is a dressed up and nowhere to go, so it graces our Hallowed Halls here at Classic Auto Mall. ... Why buy new when it is sitting right in front of you! ...Come on down and drool a bit before eating a piece of the GM pie.

1976 Lincoln Continental Lot #213 (Sale Order 106 of 115) 1976 Lincoln Continental
Your first impression when you approach this 1976 Lincoln Continental is that it’......s simply mammoth. On a 120-inch wheelbase, it rivals the biggest cars of the ‘......50s, and today anything with 120 inches between the wheels is a full-sized dually pickup. In fact, this car is more than 11 inches longer than a new Lincoln Navigator! But it isn’......t merely big for the sake of being big, it has style and proportion and a gothic look that has aged pretty well. These cars have enjoyed a nice uptick in values ever since the guys in the Scorsese flick “......Casino”...... were motoring around in such things, and in 1976, if you owned one of these, you had well and truly made it to the top.
For consignment, taking up significant real estate in the Classic Auto Mall, is this 1976 large and in charge Lincoln Continental. With a mere 66,405 original miles and always garaged it is a no rust car, clean undercarriage, and oodles of convenience options, you are entering the lap of luxury, so supersize me!
Exterior
A big chrome grille with the Lincoln star atop, hidden headlights on either side, and cathedral style signal lights at each corner. We have the beginnings of a limousine-like car, and we are only up front! A long luscious hood, big side panels minding their gaps, plenty of side trimmings in vinyl and chrome. 4 big full access doors, a 3 bedroom apartment size trunk and a landau style padded vinyl top in matching Dove gray body color. It has complete stainless steel rocker trim which is wide and shiny, as are all other trimmings, door handles, mirrors, window surrounds, bumpers, and wheel covers. Speaking of wheel covers, big shallow dish wheel covers have a black Lincoln badge in the center and are wrapped by thin white radials all around. The vinyl padded top shows some cracking and staining on the bottom rail and the beginnings of the trunk deck have some invasive rust. Also a few slight areas of some rust bubbling can be seen on front panels.
Interior
A swing of any of the well balanced but big doors reveals gray stitched leather panels, wood appliqué..., nice chrome trimmings, and a lower silver/gray carpeted panel. A litany of power switches and toggles for door locks, seat adjustments, windows, and a rear-view mirror toggle are within the door. Having a seat inside, and I might as well be at the local Republican Club in the smoking lounge surrounded by full gray leather wide buckets with extra pillows stitched on just for good measure. A large pillowed leather armrest magically lowers from the center of the buckets to create an armrest for the “......lean”...... when you decide to go low and slow. A rear bench like grandmother’......s couch stretches from rear door to door, and has the same buttoned pillows as the front as well as the armrest…......smoke ‘......em if ya got ‘......em…...... The square and rectangle dash is simplistic in its design, but retains luxurious looks with brushed aluminum panels and burled veneer appliqué... housing various controls, the speedometer, trip odometer, and fuel gauge. Climate controls are to the right of the steering wheel, (which is original), and a factory Ford radio is installed in a mid section horizontal wood burl covered bar. Also within all this menagerie is a rolling wheel digital clock right out of mid 1970. More A/C vents and a large glove box in front of the passenger. Silver gray clean carpet floods the floors, and a tight headliner stretches above the passengers.
Drivetrain
A big powerful 460ci V8 engine is within a slight patina but clean engine bay, all original. On top is a Motorcraft 4350 4-barrel carburetor. This “......proper”...... engine is mated with a Ford C-6 select-shift 3-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9" rear axle.
Undercarriage
The 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupé... has the luxury length of 228”......, rides upon a long 120.4”...... wheelbase, and is 79.8”...... wide. This is one of the largest passenger production cars ever built in America. Underneath is showing some surface rust on the driveshaft, rear pumpkin, and suspension. Floor pans and rockers are clean and look as if they may have been resprayed with rustproofing, however this is not verified. Power disc brakes for the front, and big drums for the rear, along with the front coil over suspension and rear coils, it rides like a dream.
Drive-Ability
This car started with little effort, ran smoothly and handled the test track with flying colors, (well, at least Dove gray and silver!). Good acceleration, smooth shifting, and a very luxurious cruise at highway speed, where you barely know you are moving. It stopped in a straight line, and stopping power was very sufficient.
A fairly low mileage always garaged car and owners who babied it and were careful about maintenance and repairs when needed. Now you can show up in classic luxury style, turn heads, and enough seating for 6. They do

1967 Austin FX4D Taxi Cab Lot #215 (Sale Order 108 of 115) Let's put our hand in the air and summon a “......hack" to take us uptown London circa. 1967 in this Austin FXD Cab. ...This consignment spent its early days as a shuttle for an Inn in the Chesapeake Bay area, when one day a guest, (our consignor), stepped in and bought it. ... It was in mechanical disrepair and the consignor got it running, where it served for weddings and special events for the family. ... The consignor’......s wife also got an extra gift with the car in the form of an English Trivet, now a butter dish is not going home with the new potential owner! ... WOW Cars and Trivets, who’......d a thought?
Exterior
With this taxi design the car remained virtually unchanged visually over many years, and still today is in the minds of the world when they think of London Taxi. ... Long hood, protruding fenders with a single round headlight on each side, a rectangular vertical grille and bumper below with “......bunny ears”....... ...Plenty of mirrors to make sure when you are doing a U-ie you don’......t bump oncoming or following traffic! ... The Taxi light on the roof and some side hollow running lights off of the tops of the B pillars. ... In back a spacious trunk and another bumper worth the “......ears”....... ... The driver's tail light has fallen victim to a bashing and is now non-existent. ... A common pillar has the back hinged front doors and front hinged back doors. ...On all 4 corners are generic cream colored steel wheels with shiny moon caps in their centers. ...I say! ...And it's all bathed in black, as opposed to the standard yellow in the good old USA.
Interior
Black metal sills and taupe vinyl make up the simple utilitarian door panels. ... Shiny actuators and a window crank are present on the front doors. ... Since it's a right hand drive car, only the driver's side bucket is in, and room for storage is where the passenger seat would normally be. ...

Independent coil springs are up front and leaf sprung rear suspension is seen. ...Drum braking is on all 4 corners. ... ...
Drive-Ability
This car hasn't been run in north of 5 years so I was unable to do a test drive. ... We did not attempt to crank the car due to battery issues.
A harken back in time when you really do not have to go that far to see many examples old and new, (as who can tell), the body styling remained the same for years. ... Get it running and start “......hacking”.......

1973 Porsche 914 Targa Lot #216 (Sale Order 109 of 115) 1973 Porsche 914
Here's how the 914 came to be, according to Classic Motorsports: In the late 60s, Porsche needed a replacement for the 911's low-rent four-cylinder cousin, the 912. At the same time, VW needed a replacement for the Karmann-Ghia that would ideally be more than just a fanciful-bodied Beetle. Perhaps over some hefeweizen and sauerkraut (these are the only things I know about Germany) Ferry Porsche and VW executive Heinz Nordhoff hammered out an agreement where their respective companies would build the car together.
For consignment the joint venture between Porsche and VW in the form of a 1970 Porsche 914. This air-cooled boxer style mid-engine car has the engine of a VW and suspension of a Porsche. Styling was a mixture of square and rectangle design with some aero thrown in for giggles, and an open targa top of you wished. Hidden headlights, and mid-engine design lasted until 1976.
Exterior
They call me mellow yellow….......Quite Right!, and we can call this one mellow yellow, (actually it's officially Saturn Yellow). With its early 1970’......s design making use of the square and rectangle, we see straight steel bathed in yellow. This exterior has just a few minor scratches to speak of on the body, otherwise all else is excellent. It has the appearance group package which includes chrome bumpers and side sail panels. Hidden headlights, plus driving lights and a right side mirror. On top is the removable panel that is supported in front by the windshield and in back by the small flying buttress B pillars and vertical rear glass. Some black mesh venting just below the window keeps the mid-engine cool, and has P O R S C H E badging attached. Horizontal tail lighting wraps the rear quarters and just below is a shiny bumper with a dent or two in the chrome. Mahle alloy wheels grace all corners and even an additional 5 wheel as the spare is the same.
Interior
Simple small but very ergonomic thin semi high back black vinyl buckets with sparse padding awaits the passengers. The consignor states this is the original interior. The console gauge package rises from the console to the dash. Upfront the original dash pad with no cracks or errors is seen, and black carpeting covers the floors. This car also has R134 Port install A/C, and AM/FM radio. The A/C is a very desirable option on these. The targa removable top is new but appears just a bit faded on top. Also a cushion on the console allows a restful space for your right arm.
Drivetrain
Mid-engine means Mid-engine, and this is true looking under the hood, and lifting the trunk and you’......ll be saying “......look ma!…......no engine!”...... Well kids, it's under that mesh panel just below the rear glass. Yes, a 4-cylinder engine is shoehorned into this space reserved for it. It has seen a custom rebuild by a 36 year certified Lancaster County Porsche tech. The mill has been increased to 2100 plus cc. The mill has been line bored, oversized pistons and cylinders are inside and performance cams have been added. It is topped by a 1-barrel carburetor and has a 5-speed manual transmission on the back. There is a 4.429 final drive on the rear axle. Consignor states less than 500 miles have been out on this newly rebuilt drivetrain.
Undercarriage
Some slight patina is noted on this aero paneled undercarriage. Independent suspension is all around as are disc brakes with new calipers, master cylinder and pads. Like new, (and indeed it is), dual exhaust is exhaling out the back of the car. The clutch has also been rebuilt with a resurfaced flywheel. Also, the fuel tank has been etched and coated. Several new seals are also seen throughout.
Drive-Ability
A fun little Porsche that exhibits nice handling capabilities. The interior was comfortable, and surprisingly roomy. The new tires stuck like glue and all functions were working
An added extra appearance group, console gauge package, Port install AC R134, 15 inch Mahle wheels, and a console cushion make for a visually pleasing sports car for sure. Yellow paint is looking good, slight fading on the vinyl targa top, and a clean interior. Don't waste too much time thinking, just do it and the Holy Grail of the 914's will be yours!

1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle Lot #217 (Sale Order 110 of 115) This very nicely kept 1973 Super Beetle, which has had an open checkbook restoration with upgrades so states our consignor in anticipation of another 49 years of reliable service. Many aspects are original and kept that way of not in need of restoration. The complete engine rebuild was performed by a certified Lancaster, PA Porsche mechanic, and the car is looking snappy. Will you get the bug, or did you get the jab!?
Exterior
This sport bug is set apart from the masses by the use of all black trimmings in lieu of chrome. It is bathed in Saturn Yellow, and I can assure you it looks great. To make it a bit more efficient, the windows were removed and the fenders taken off then it was sprayed. An OEM style stripe kit is seen with a wide black stripe and 2 thinner edge stripes in red bordering the wide black one. Bumpers are black, side view mirrors are black, as per the Sport package, the front and rear fender guards and a rear engine lid has grilles. Elephant footprint rear tail lighting is on and just below, another black bumper with a central yellow stripe is seen, and dual black exhaust tips peeking out from underneath. Running boards connect the fenders, which show 1973 turn signals attached to the front fenders. 15-inch Lemmerz GT sport wheels are starring on all 4 corners, and 195/65R15 rubber from the 18th week of 2019 is wrapping them.
Interior
Starting upfront under the hood is a pristine storage area all covered in black vinyl. Next up are the door panels which look factory and showroom also in all black right down to the window cranks and door actuator. Shiny vinyl and charcoal gray for the inserts cover the correct Recaro high back buckets in front with headrests, and the bench in back matches nicely. These are original to the car as are the door cards. For the dash it's the KISS theory with a bump up in front of the driver that contains a large circular gauge cluster within that circle. A few knobs and pulls are underneath running across the dash until eventually meeting up with the AM radio. Fronting the dashes a sport steering wheel by Petri AG, and just to mention again, the seats are by Recaro. Black carpeting covers the floors and in the center of the hump is a small stick shifter in a molded storage tray and cup holder operation. The headliner is white, and tight as a drum, and gets to look down upon all this sporty menagerie.
Drivetrain
A bit more customization for this V-Dub as it sports a 1600cc horizontally opposed, air cooled, carbureted with a 1-barrel carburetor for this engine. As noted, it was completely and professionally rebuilt. This is attached to a 4 speed manual transmission. The rear mounted power plant sports dual exhaust with black exhaust tips. Note the engine bay has been nicely finished and detailed. Also all new clutch, exhaust, and all associated lines, heat and cooling tubes and emissions equipment.
Undercarriage
Front and rear suspension are independent, with the front having transverse torsion bars and the rear sporting semi trailing arm suspension. The rear axle codes out at 3.875 ratio. Drum brakes are all around. Solid rust free stamped floor pans and clean rockers are noted. The fuel tank was boiled out and coated, then new fuel lines were added on. This is also true for the brake lines and brakes are all newly installed.
Drive-Ability
This car started right up, and drove smoothly. It shifted well, and was dead silent from the suspension when pushed into a turn. All working functions, and that wonderful tinny exhaust sound you can only get from these classic bugs. As stated this car can definitely be driven anywhere with complete confidence. I picked Florida and warmer weather! Let’......s hop in and go, but I’......m drivin’.......
A very well done top to bottom restoration/rebuild for this Sport bug. No expenses spared, and basically a like new 1973 example. Nifty color scheme, (although I assumed Saturn was red, but who cares it's cool in yellow). Love the sound, love the handling, and love the comfort with utilitarian aspect. OUCH…...... I just got bit by a bug!

1954 Chevrolet 3100 Series Pickup Lot #218 (Sale Order 111 of 115) 1954 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup
For consignment and your enjoyment, a customized and restored Chevrolet 3100 Series pickup, retaining its original styling just as it was on the showroom floor 69 years ago but with a modern frame, drivetrain and suspension underneath. The Advanced Design from Chevrolet was billed as stronger, larger and sleeker, and the first redesign since WW2. This truck is also sporting a custom 7-foot bed and late model 20" wheels.
Exterior
Bathed in an amateur application of orange, there is orange peel, evidence of prior body work, some crazing of the finish, and a light spray in some areas. Originality was the mindset for the body, and it has it from the black front grille including a triple row of large horizontal grille bars bisected by a vertical bar, with parking lights incorporated in the grille, (incidentally, these interchanged with the corresponding GMC model). The new grille could be ordered in chrome, but because this cost extra, it is seldom seen on surviving trucks. On painted grilles, the outer bars were painted in the body color; the inner bars are painted the correct thistle gray. Black bumpers in front and rear finish off this 3100 at either end. All the way through, the 7-foot custom bed which is lined with polished diamond plate steel and sports a diamond plate tool box. Due to the curved fenders being on the outside, you get a full unobstructed bed, (why weren’......t they doing this all along? GENIUS!). A mix of blacked out and stainless trim wrap the cabin glass, including the wrap-around corner windows. Late model 20-inch aluminum 5-spoke wheels are wrapped in staggered width blackwall radials from the 18th week of 2018.
Interior
Sprayed in body matching orange, the full metal dash holds a simple vertical ribbed front and center, but in front of the driver is a late model General Motors instrument cluster with a digital odometer and a slew of gauges. The door panels do not disappoint either with tan broadcloth uppers, chrome actuators and cranks, and twin storage areas including one made as a netted pouch. A pair of late model bucket seats in charcoal gray broadcloth with hobnail inserts flank an orange and silver trimmed console that races up to meet the dash and holds an aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo as well as push buttons for the headlights and 4wd selector. A late model steering column grows just from the dash and is topped with a thick wood rimmed Pilot steering wheel.
Drivetrain
Opening the massive hood, we are met with a 4.3 Liter Vortec V6 mill. It sits in a slightly dusty engine bay and is fed by EFI. Backing this is a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission that shifts very smoothly, and throws power to a 10 bolt rear axle.
Undercarriage
A quick glance makes one think this is original, but here is where things take a turn to the modern side. A late model frame is now supporting the original body and is equipped with an independent coil spring front suspension while traditional leaf springs are in the rear. Structurally sound, it takes on the appearance of what a beautifully aged undercarriage would over time with only minor patina and surface rust. Power disc brakes are on up front and in the back are, you guessed it....more power disc brakes. A single stock style exhaust system is on for the big exhale.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, smooth idle, and easy smooth shifting from the automatic. Overall the suspension felt nice and tight with no sloppy ride lumbering around curves here, this truck is a performer and a head turner as well. A few frowns crept up during our drive, that being a radio that didn't belt out any tunes and when pushing the 4x4 buttons it was unclear as to whether the transfer case engaged the front axle.
Overall a nicely performed amateur customization/restoration retaining the original bodystyle, but with a modern twist for the undercarriage and interior. This truck works very well on all fronts, and runs like it's 1954/1994 all over again, and we just left the lot with a smile on our face.

1964 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible Lot #219 (Sale Order 112 of 115) For consignment, a somewhat rare, (low production), car in the form of a 1964 Mercury Caliente Comet convertible. ... Popular among street rodders, most examples have been modified, however here we have a slightly modified for performance original with straight steel, well minded gaps, and beautiful chrome. ... A few minor faults at the seams, and some chipping of the paint, but over-all an excellent example of this midsize upscale grocery getter, a getaway for the parents car firmly for the suburban crowd. And it's a convertible!
Exterior
Bathed in deep blue almost black paint, which is in good rust free condition, we note a few areas of chipping however no areas of rust, even under the door jambs where it is frequently overlooked. ... All gaps are well minded, and upfront with its distinct Mercury outward V shaped fine mesh egg crate grill, and dual headlights flanking on either side, bumper below all shined up, were looking like the Comet. ... A nice smooth hood is flanked by good looking front quarters, moving rearward to a single door with a shiny mirror attached and clean chrome handles. ... Noted feature of these cars is their swept black wheel wells which are particularly evident on the rear quarters and are sporting small fins which tastefully angle back and overshoot the trio of round taillights below. Noted the stamped in, large spear with COMET badging on each rear quarter in lieu of the actual adhered spears of yore. ... ...Between these taillights is corresponding outward smaller V chrome trim, emulating the grille and connecting the taillights. ... Below a nice bumper. ... A black convertible top showing like new, (and it is, plus has a boot to cover the mechanism when lowered), with a clear rear window covers up if needed in bad weather. ... On all 4 corners are shiny dog dish style wheels with trim rings wrapped by black wall radials.
Interior
With Mercury being the upscale model of the blue oval, door panels have extra attention paid to the design and materials with black vinyl tile shaped padded grid with numerous horizontal trimmings and a rectangular frame of the thin trimming. ... Door handles and cranks as well as the armrest/pull have some extra shine, and a courtesy light in working condition is just below the armrest. ... Crossing the shiny threshold, beautiful overstuffed low back two tone buckets in front and a bench in back keep the hits coming. ... These chairs have more rectangular tile stitched and white buttoned black inserts and smooth white bolsters and a bevy of black piping to keep you eye dancing over them. ... A small but effective black and white center console is between these buckets and hides the hump which disappears mostly due to being covered like the floors, in black nice carpet. ... The original pristine dash is upfront and has a black padded vinyl top and plenty of chrome/aluminum trimmings surrounding the instruments and gauges. ... Shiny pulls and knobs are onboard and share a border on the lower dash with the shiny metal and black painted bottom of the dash. ... An Alpine stereo system with Kenwood speakers has been added in. ... The original big steering wheel is framed in black with some chrome rings and dual chromed supports with a center hub and our Mercury God in profile, reminding you of what you're driving. ... An overhead view of the interior with the black tonneau and white piping shows a simply gorgeous designed upscale interior. A shout to the trunk which has the plaid green and white vinyl liner and a full size spare tire. ...
Drivetrain
A lift of the hood, and bling shouting loudly greets us. ... This 289ci V8 has shine all around with a chromed air cleaner cover, and chromed valve covers. ... It is a correct as built mill and includes a new 2 barrel Holley carburetor atop with an electric choke. ... On back is a C4 transmission in 3 speed automatic form, and a Ford 8 inch rear axle is on back. ... Supple hoses and like new wires abound here too. An alternator is within a generator case looking original but it's an alternator!
Undercarriage
Solid unibody rust free construction keeps it simple underneath so we can skip right to the suspension which is independent coil springs for the front and leaf springs for the back. ... Power disc brakes have been added to the front and in the rear are power drums and a Turbo muffler exhaust is now installed.
Drive-Ability
I clamored to get into this mid century modern upscale 2 door, and it was well worth it. ... It fired right up and on the test track accelerated beautifully, came to a bias free panic stop, and shifted smoothly. ... All this and working functions as well as looking fabulous doing it!
A fine somewhat rare example of the Comet Caliente convertible all buttoned up and looking just great, ready for your driveway, all you have to do is agree on a fair price, and then turn the key….......it just does not get any easier.

The transfer case is oil free from drips, and some new steering parts have been recently put on. ... Leaf spring suspension is all around and drums on back and disc brakes are upfront. ... A snake-like headers and dual Flowmaster mufflers are noted for the exhaust but the catalytic converter is missing.
Drive-Ability
This beauty started right up and was ready to climb the walls and anything else we had here at Classic Auto Mall that it could drive over. ... So I took it to the test track and here all was functioning beautifully. ... Good acceleration, plenty of power, all gearing 2 and 4 wheel drives were working, and the sound system was awesome. ... The seats are comfy and in the open air one feels a sense of freedom, although when a semi goes by it makes you think about that exterior being right there!
All good here to grab the groover and go for a rapid ride in some out of the way place. This vehicle can and will do it, with plenty of power, 4WD, knobby tread, and a secure interior you can get wet but wouldn't want to! ... A nice condition off roader, on roader, or the daily commute. ... Jeep or GP, it’......s good to go.

1981 Pontiac Trans Am Bandit Special Edition Lot #221 (Sale Order 114 of 115) 1981 Pontiac Trans Am Bandit Special Edition
For consignment, a fully restored, 1 of 932 built, (production records vary), the WS6/Y84 1981 version of the screaming chicken adorned hood, T topped, black Trans Am from Pontiac. This car sports miles deep paint, black broadcloth interior, all paperwork from when the car was delivered new, and all the photos and receipts from when the restoration was being done. "Hey Snowman, ya got your ears on?"
Exterior
Code 19, Starlite Black bathes the exterior of this racy looking car. It will stand out in a crowd, and with a huge gold screaming chicken decal, two tone, (gold and beige), decal badging and polished aluminum and gold snowflake style wheels. All fender flaring and neoprene bumpers are matching the body black and a rear spoiler. The body is in very good condition with no chip offs or rust to note, just a pure calm sea of black. Side vents can be seen on the front quarters, and a chin spoiler is just below the gold highlighted black twin lower grilles. The back is more racy with the rear spoiler and black horizontal bar panel to use the taillights. Another clean black neoprene bumper is hanging on the bottom. Up top it features lightly smoked glass for the removable “......T”...... top and all trimmings for the tinted side windows are in black and have been highlighted with gold pinstriping. More gold pinstriping frames the wheel wells as well as the rear spoiler and a smaller version of the hood chicken is seen on the B-pillars. A shaker hood with the scoop looking out through the hole in the hood, badged 5.0 Litre. "That's an attention getter." -Buford T. Justice

Interior
Black is the color motif for the interior chosen and it fits perfectly with the black exterior theme. Swinging the long doors and getting past the black colored vinyl door panels which are showing a side view mirror toggle, power lock switch, and black carpeting down below, these panels are showing some slight wrinkling but are otherwise near perfect. Moving inside we are greeted with high back buckets in front and a 2 plus 2 bench for the back. These are covered in broadcloth with striped gray and black inserts and the bolsters are solid black cloth. A warm black console shoots forward between the buckets and houses a glovebox, power window switches, and shift lever. As it rises it meets the gold circle machined pattern aluminum dash that houses black faced original gauges. Plenty of them as well all in circle form and even a factory tachometer and clock is seen on drivers left. Air-conditioning, a multitude of gauges, a see-through roof, tilt steering wheel, AM/FM/Cassette and power antenna. What more could you want? Oh, I know, read on!
Drivetrain
Under the screaming hood is the original 305ci Chevrolet V8. It has a single 4-barrel carburetor on top and a T10 4-speed manual on back. A 10-bolt 3.42 Positraction rear axle spins the tires. This engine bay is fully restored with wonderful paint and soft supple hoses. "She's as strong as an ox." -Bandit
Undercarriage
No rust, including nearly no surface rust is seen throughout with independent coil spring suspension in front and leaf springs in back. Power disc brakes are upfront, and power drums on back. A single exhaust ends splits into a dual system with stock style mufflers and dual shiny chrome tips behind each rear wheel.
Drive-Ability
As I slipped in for my test drive I buckled myself firmly in the black high backs and was off. Nice acceleration from the 305 cuber and good shifting from the T10 along with bias free panic stopping was noted. I kept looking in my rearview mirror for a smokie but all I kept hearing was my crack decoder and partner in crime whining about having to pee. Naturally I broke out my best Buford T. Justice impression and told him, "Swallow it, I'm busy!". Overall a splendid drive, although we never got chased by the local po-po nor did we get to run blocker for The Snowman, but we did enjoy a well-functioning car with only a few frowns to note; the reverse lights did not illuminate and the check engine light came off and on, (most likely due to the lack of catalytic converters).
Wonderfully restored with all its fairings and flaring, scoops and spoilers, and the smoked T tops, we are firmly in Trans Am heaven, but actually in the West hallway of the Classic Automatic’......s Malls Hallowed Halls. Paperwork and documentation galore along with a wonderful presentation will keep you on the podium at nearly every show you enter, but it won't let you slip past old Buford and his dimwitted son Junior, maybe you could bribe them with a Diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper?

1969 Chevrolet K-10 Pickup Lot #222 (Sale Order 115 of 115)
1969 Chevrolet K10 Pickup
Chevrolet produces some of the finest trucks on the planet and has been doing so for a long time. ... Within each model range their avid fans, and this 1969 iteration is no exception. ... This ...truck was painstakingly and lovingly restored, and sports power steering, power brakes and the frame was blasted and coated in POR15. ... Add in a 250ci inline 6 and you have a truck that's ready to show and go reliably. ... We have a winner! ... Bingo.
Exterior
Finished in an orange respray, there are some waves in the bodywork and a few inclusions, but the paint remains very nice. ... The chrome is in overall good condition along with badging and trim. ... Up front, single headlights in a chrome bezel flank a chrome tie bar across the egg crate grille and above a blue bowtie embellishment leads the way to the long steel hood. ... Racing back the hood are a pair of black painted rally stripes that continue down and over the ...body matching orange painted front bumper. ... In the long steel bed, we note a thick rubber bed mat and orange painted steel bedside and bulkhead. ... A few scuffs are showing in the bed steel but no notable dents are seen. ... The twin black stripes reappear on the white CHEVROLET embossed tailgate and tall thin rectangle tail lights dress the back of the bed sides. ...15”...... black gun drilled wheels are on all 4 corners and are wrapped in knobby 31x10.50R15 Goodyear Wrangler rubber.
Interior
A complete redo inside here with pristine black door panels with a vertical orange stripe through the center, nice door handles and cranks and solid orange steel surrounds. ... Looking inside there is a new bench seat with orange and black houndstooth inserts and smooth vinyl bolsters in orange. ... A small pinhole is noted in the lower outside driver's bolster, but all else is factory fresh. ... A slightly worn stock 2 spoke steering wheel atop the factory column fronting the original dash. ... The three on the tree shifter resides here and a black padded top all steel dash which matches the exterior houses the original gauge cluster, heater controls, and factory installed AM radio. ... The glove box door sits in front of the passenger, while clean orange carpet in good condition floods the floor and allows the shifter for the 4 wheel drive to grow upward. ... Above we note a simple ribbed steel headliner in orange.
Drivetrain
Under the long heavy steel hood sits an Chevrolet ...orange/reddish painted 250ci inline 6 cylinder. ... This sits in a dusty and patinaed engine bay and a 1-barrel carburetor sits atop under a black air cleaner assembly. ... A 3-speed manual transmission is attached to the back of this reliable engine and 12-bolt rear is also noted. ... Scanning the engine bay we see a newer brake master cylinder as well as this truck being power steering equipped.
Undercarriage
The strong blasted and POR15 black painted frame provides the backbone for the grayish black finished steel underside of the bed and road drip splattered cab. ... We note one area of rust on a body support but all else is solid. ... We also see power drum brakes for all 4 corners and leaf spring suspension both front and rear. ... A single exhaust system works its way down to a glasspack style muffler that turns outward to end just in front of the driver's rear tire.
Drive-Ability
A turn of the key and this engine came to life and settled into a smooth idle. ... Slipping the column shifter into first and we were off to the races, or rather the Classic Auto Mall acreage, where the transmission shifted smoothly, no hesitation in the engine, and a typical truck ride. ... The new interior proved to be comfortable.
A decent quality restoration with many new parts applied to a rust free solid bodied truck. ... A few faults on the paint and bodywork front but overall, a nice job, and we have a truck available for the 69 era K-10 fans.
