1996 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GRAND SPORT CONVERTIBLE
LT4/330 HP V-8, 6-SPEED, 11 ORIGINAL MILES, 1 OF 53 GRAND SPORT CONVERTIBLES WITH RED INTERIOR For the 1996 model year, Chevrolet decided that a very special Corvette was needed to commemorate the end of the highly successful C4 generation. It was decided to build a limited run of visually stunning special editions with the performance to match. Dubbed Grand Sport, this special car was named after the famous lightweight factory Corvette racers of the early 60’s, only five of which were built before Chevrolet famously exited from factory participation in racing. Echoing the original, the new Grand Sport featured a special Admiral Blue exterior with an Arctic White stripe up over the hood and rear deck, two Red hash mark stripes over the left front
fender, Black spoke ZR1 style wheels, chrome badging and GS embroidery on the headrests. But what really made the car so special was the one year only “Grand Sport” LT4 engine with its distinctive red intake manifold, conservatively rated at 330 HP and available only with the 6-speed manual transmission. Originally priced at just over $50,000, the Grand Sport has recently been touted by CNN Money as one of the Top Ten Most Valuable Corvettes. Only 1,000 Grand Sports were built, the most coveted being the Grand Sport convertible with Red and Black interior, only 53 of which were produced. Each car carries its own unique VIN sequence,
S117
distinct from all other 1996 production Corvettes. The amazing example you see here is number 474, an early delivery that has only accumulated 11 miles since produced (Significantly, the factory window sticker, which remains in place, announces that “complete vehicle pricing information was not available at time of shipment.”). Equipped with F45 Selective Real Time Damping suspension, dual power Sport seats, electronic air conditioning, Delco-Bose stereo with CD/cassette and a 6-speed manual transmission, it is a true time capsule of one of the most iconic and visually recognizable Corvettes ever produced.

1993 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZR1 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION DRIVEN 530 MILES SINCE NEW, 1 OF 245 40TH ANNIVERSARY ZR1 MODELS PRODUCED Despite the excitement it generated in preproduction publicity, Corvette did not enjoy an auspicious start with the buying public. Only 300 were built that first year, but Corvette soon bloomed through the efforts of Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov, whose vision of a worldbeating American sports car would not be denied. While it might have seemed impossible at the beginning, total Corvette production surpassed one million cars in 1992, and America’s Sports Car entered its 40th year of production in triumphant fashion. A special edition was devised to celebrate those four decades of Corvette evolution. The 40th
Anniversary option had special Ruby Red metallic paint with matching Ruby Red leather Sport seats and carpeting, power driver’s seat, special wheel center trim and special emblems. Chevrolet sold a total of 6,749 40th Anniversary Corvettes, the rarest of which is offered here in the form of the ZR1 coupe. One of only 245 built with this combination, it marries the attractive cosmetics of the 40th Anniversary package with the ZR1’s brute power and world class handling. Introduced in 1990, the ZR1’s key component was its LT5 V-8 engine, a brand new powerplant designed in collaboration with Lotus Engineering that represented a significant departure from
S118
standard Corvette practice. The venerable cast iron pushrod small block V-8 was gone, replaced by an all-aluminum block and cylinder heads, 4 overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and a factory rating of 375 HP that reached 405 in 1993. Number 96 of 448 ZR1s produced in 1993, this jewel-like 40th Anniversary coupe has been driven just 530 miles. Equipped with the ZR1requisite MN6 6-speed manual transmission and FX3 Selective Ride suspension, it also comes with C2L Dual Removable roof panels, one of which remains in the factory protective wrapping.

2003 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION 6-SPEED CONVERTIBLE WITH 2 ORIGINAL MILES, NEVER PREPARED FOR DEALERSHIP DELIVERY 2003 brought another important milestone for Corvette. It had been a full half century since the first Corvette was unveiled at the 1953 Motorama in New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and the 5th generation Corvette had already achieved a whole new level of excellence with a brand new design unveiled for 1997. The factory celebrated Corvette’s first 50 years with a special 50th Anniversary edition made available on coupes and convertibles, a notable exception being the Z06 fixed roof coupe. The special package included unique Red “Xirallic Crystal” exterior paint, unique front fender emblems, Champagne painted aluminum wheels and center caps with an
exclusive new Shale interior that was matched in convertible soft tops. More than being just a cosmetic trim package, the 50th Anniversary incorporated F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control and the 1SB Preferred Equipment that included head-up display, power telescopic steering column, electrochromatic mirrors, memory package and twilight sentinel. Standard on coupes and convertibles included previously optional fog lamps, Sport seats, power passenger seat, dual zone electronically controlled air conditioning. Significantly, a 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette coupe paced the 2002 Indianapolis 500, long before the model was made
S119
available to the buying public. Originally delivered with an MSRP of $57,875, this 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette convertible is as new as it could possibly be, showing a mere 2 actual miles on its electronic odometer. Fully optioned and never prepped for sale by the dealer, it is literally in factory fresh condition throughout, the original protective coverings are still largely intact inside and the window sticker is still displayed in the windshield. It is extremely doubtful that a more pristine example exists anywhere in the world.

1993 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
TWO TOP 6-SPEED CONVERTIBLE WITH 16 ORIGINAL MILES, NEVER PREPARED FOR DEALERSHIP DELIVERY In the years that spanned the first four decades of Corvette production, many esteemed American manufacturers departed from the automotive landscape. Other brands were founded and ran the course of their entire lifespans in that same period. So when Corvette reached the 40year milestone through both feast and famine, Chevrolet saw cause to celebrate with a specialorder 40th Anniversary Package. Priced at $1,455, the 40th Anniversary package was available in both standard and ZR1 models and included an eye-catching Ruby Red Metallic exterior finish, Ruby Red leather Sport seats, power driver seat, special wheel center trim and
40th anniversary emblems inside and out. On convertible models so equipped, even the folding soft top was constructed of a matching Ruby Red material. To Corvette enthusiasts enjoying the car’s new-found performance, the 40th Anniversary Package was beautiful icing on a very tasty cake. Standard horsepower had shot from 245 to 300 HP the previous year, followed by an increase in torque from 330 to 340 lb-ft. The Corvette’s ride was refined by reducing front wheel and tire width, and for the first time in GM history, was offered with a passive keyless entry system. This beautiful 40th Anniversary convertible is a
S120
remarkable example of this very special and highly sought after Corvette. Of special significance is its extremely rare removable hardtop, a $1,995 option when new. It is well equipped with the electronic air conditioning, Delco Bose electronically tuned AM/FM stereo with cassette and 6-way power driver’s seat that comprise Preferred Equipment Group #1, and augmented with an optional CD player. Never dealer prepped or licensed, this rare Corvette is as-new from the factory with seats still wrapped in plastic and only 16 miles on the odometer.

1978 CHEVROLET CORVETTE PACE CAR EDITION
L82 350/220 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, 7 ORIGINAL MILES, NEVER PREPARED FOR DEALERSHIP DELIVERY In 1978 Chevrolet celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Corvette by pacing the Indianapolis 500 and releasing a handful of special-edition Pace Car Replicas to the public. Just 6,502 of these very special Black and Silver Corvette models were ever produced, each with a unique VIN sequence, a first for Corvette. Following a front page article in the Wall Street Journal, prices for these limited edition Corvettes went through the roof as they were quickly snapped up by collectors. Besides the special two-tone paint, each Corvette Pace Car featured unique front and rear spoilers, polished aluminum Red-striped wheels,
mirror-tint roof panels and contoured sport seats finished in special Silver leather. An Indianapolis 500 Official Pace Car decal kit was also included. Number 3533, this particular Pace Car is arguably the most desirable in existence. One of fewer than 7 percent of Limited Edition Pace Car Corvettes equipped with the highly sought after combination of L82 engine and 4-speed close ratio manual transmission, it additionally offers the added benefits of Gymkhana Suspension and the rare CB radio option. Collector Roger Judski originally ordered this car fully optioned from a Sebring, Florida Chevrolet dealer, who then refused to honor the sales contract when the car
S121
was delivered because of rising demand. Judski took the dealer to court for breach of contract and won the case. He was awarded the Corvette at the previously agreed price, with the stipulation that it be titled in Roger’s name and the taxes paid; otherwise, this collector grade Pace Car would still be on the MSO. This historically significant Corvette has been driven less than 8 miles. It has never been dealer prepped or licensed; the front spoiler is not installed, the car’s seats are still wrapped in plastic, the factory window sticker is still affixed, and the original Indianapolis 500 decal kit is still in the factory container.

2004 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 COMMEMORATIVE EDITION ONLY 2 ORIGINAL MILES, WINDOW STICKER INTACT, NEVER PREPARED FOR DEALERSHIP DELIVERY The 5th generation Corvette was a design and engineering triumph by any measure. Its freshly sculpted body hid an advanced chassis and drivetrain highlighted by a new all-aluminum small block and a rear-mounted transmission that combined with race-ready suspension for the best overall performance ever in a base Corvette. The legendary Z06 nameplate was resurrected in a new high performance version in 2001; by the time the 6th generation was announced, the Corvette was a dominant force in international GT racing competition. The Chevrolet Corvette 2004 Commemorative Edition Package honors and celebrates the
final year of the 5th generation of Corvette production with a special tribute to Corvette Racing’s Le Mans-liveried C5R racers. The Z06 package Included special LeMans Blue exterior color and striping, crossed flag embroidery on seat headrests, Silver front and rear emblems recalling Corvette’s success at Le Mans, a unique Z06-specific lightweight carbon fiber hood and special Z06 polished wheels with commemorative center inserts. Head-up display and FE4 Sport Suspension were also standard features on the high performance Z06 model. Limited in production with only 2,025 units built, this highly collectible 2004 Commemorative
S122
Edition Z06 is widely touted as the finest 5th generation Corvette ever produced. In addition to its distinctive Le Mans C5R livery, it incorporates the AAB Memory Package, auto-dimming electrochromatic inside and outside mirrors, all power accessories, Delco-Bose CD stereo and body side moldings. It has been assiduously cared for and still retains the original interior protective coverings and labels. And with a total of only 2 original miles, it is also quite likely the lowest mileage 2004 Z06 in existence today.

1988 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CHALLENGE RACE CAR 1988 CORVETTE CHALLENGE SERIES CHAMPION DRIVEN BY STUART HAYNER In 1988 Chevrolet teamed up with the Sports Car Club of America to present the inaugural SCCA Corvette Challenge racing series, for which the factory built 56 street legal Corvettes. Engines were built at the Flint engine plant to stock specifications and matched for consistent power output, then sealed and sent to the Bowling Green assembly plant for standard assembly. Because the Corvette plant built cars in color batches of fifty cars each, they were not built in sequence. As each Challenge Corvette was completed it was sent to Protofab Engineering in Wixom, Michigan, for installation of the “Challenge Package,” which included a rollbar, Halon fire system, special brake
and exhaust modifications, Dymag wheels and shaved Goodyear Gatorback tires. The number 98 Challenge Series Corvette was invoiced on March 22, 1988 and delivered to Hardy Chevrolet in Dallas, Texas. The original invoice for the number 98 Corvette carried a sticker price of $33,043.00 with a $15,000 addition for preparation by Protofab Engineering. All Challenge Corvettes were optioned with Z51 Performance Handling Package, MM4 4-speed transmission plus various other options, and identified by the phrase “Corvette Challenge “ noted directly on the dealer invoice along with shipping of $475.00 to Protofab. Tom Bell Chevrolet in Redlands, California,
S123 in partnership with Mobil Oil and Autosport, sponsored this Corvette as one of the two-car teams for the 1988 series. The number 98 car was driven by Stuart Hayner of Yorba Linda, California, who won the inaugural Corvette Challenge series with a total of 795 points. In what proved to be a hotly contested and highly entertaining series, the number 98 Corvette performed remarkably with one overall victory at Mosport and two second place finishes at Road America and Portland. With only 3,893 “Sunday-driven” miles and its race winning history, the number 98 Challenge Series Corvette is truly a Corvette racing fan’s dream collectible.

1988 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CHALLENGE RACE CAR
DRIVEN BY R.K. SMITH AND BRAD MURPHEY, PRESENTED IN UNRESTORED AS-RACED CONDITION The SCCA’s Showroom Stock racing series provided the perfect venue for racing the C4 Corvette. In 1984 racers John Greenwood, Dave Heinz, and Rod Millen entered a BF Goodrichsponsored 1984 Corvette in the premiere Showroom Stock race, the Longest Day at Nelson Ledges, Ohio, sweeping the field until mechanical gremlins put it out after 9 hours. It was the only time Corvette failed to win a Showroom Stock race until the SCCA banned America’s Sports Car from the class at the end of 1987. The SCCA compensated the factory by instituting a Corvette-only Showroom Stock series for 1988. Chevrolet named it the Corvette
Challenge series and, in partnership with Goodyear, Exxon, and Mid America Designs, posted a million dollar purse. Chevrolet built 56 street legal Corvettes with 4+3 manual transmissions and Z51 Performance suspensions. They were then shipped to Protofab in Wixom, Michigan, and fitted with competition equipment that included a racing seat, safety harness and roll cage, a fire extinguisher system, performance brake pads and special cooling ducting. Special Corvette Challenge emblems, low-restriction exhaust and Dymag wheels with shaved Goodyear Gatorback tires completed the modifications. Engines built at the Flint were matched for consistent power
S124
output and sealed before installation. Running in support of Cart and Trans Am races, the series was broadcast on the fledgling SpeedVision network and was an instant hit with racing fans who liked the shoulder-to-shoulder action and forceful maneuvering that are inherent in any racing that places talent over technical advantage. Presented in as-raced condition, this 1988 Challenge Corvette number 3 was owned originally by Gloy Motorsports and driven by R.K. Smith and Brad Murphey. It competed in 5 Corvette Challenge races in 1988 and remains untitled on the original MSO.

1990 CHEVROLET CORVETTE R9G CHALLENGE RACE CAR
11 ORIGINAL MILES, 1 OF 23 R9G CORVETTES PRODUCED, NEVER RACED OR PREPARED FOR DEALERSHIP DELIVERY After the Corvette Challenge race series ran its course through 1988 and 1989, Corvettes once again became eligible for the SCCA Escort World Challenge Series for 1990. For a brief period between February 6 to 17, 1990 dealers could order World Challenge Corvettes using the R9G merchandising code. This triggered multiple deviations from a normal build for racing application, such as heavy-duty springs with FX3 electronic Selective Ride and Handling. A sealed L98 engine was supplied for each car, which was also specified with an MN6 manual transmission, KC4 engine oil cooler, Z51 Performance Handling Package, power driver’s seat, standard radio and
24S or 64S tinted glass roof panel. Chevrolet’s Race Shop engineers built their own car to World Challenge specs and put together a manual chronicling the car’s preparation. The build notes were provided to each purchaser of the 1990 World Challenge Corvettes - not, as Chevrolet emphasized, as a strict instruction manual, but rather to demonstrate what they had done in preparing their own car. Such uniqueness and limited availability guaranteed an exclusive club; in the end, only 23 1990 R9G Corvettes were built. Although most of these rare machines were snapped up by collectors who stowed them away for safe keeping, some
S125
race teams, such as those of Tommy Morrison and Kim Baker, purchased them and put them to the use for which they were intended. Only 8 cars, however, are believed to have been thus converted for racing. The pristine and completely original example offered here is one of only 5 R9G Corvettes finished in brilliant Competition Yellow. It has never been dealer prepped or licensed, let alone raced, and shows just 11 miles on the odometer. The interior is still wrapped in plastic and the original window sticker is still in place, its presentation virtually flawless in every detail.

1988 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 35TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
4+3 TRANSMISSION, 8 ORIGINAL MILES, TWO TOPS, NEVER PREPARED FOR DEALERSHIP DELIVERY Corvette returned in 1988 with a host of improvements that included carpeted door sills, improved flow through ventilation and a relocated parking brake handle. Less visible but more important were new dual piston front brakes and a redesigned front suspension that reduced steering kickback from brake torque and road input. A mere 2,050 of the 22,789 Corvettes built in 1988 were treated to the special Z01 35th Anniversary Edition package. Available only in coupe form, this $4,795 option was distinguished by a two-tone exterior color treatment of White paint with a Black roof bow. In addition to matching White leather on the seats and steering wheel rim, the car also incorporated special interior and exterior accents,
a console-mounted 35th Anniversary plaque, special emblems and other distinguishing features. More than just a cosmetic treatment, the Z01 package also included Sport seats with power driver’s seat, electronic air conditioning control, an illuminated driver’s vanity mirror, rear window and driver’s side mirror defog. The 35th Anniversary was the best handling Corvette available thanks to the Z51 Sports Handling Package, which featured the largest wheels ever seen on a production Corvette newly styled 17x9.5-inch aluminum wheels with 12 cooling slots, mounting P275/40ZR17 performance radial tires. The Z51 package also incorporated higher spring rates, special Delco-Bilstein shock absorbers,
S126
a finned external power steering cooler and larger front brake calipers and rotors for increased stopping power. Showing less than 9 miles on the odometer, this extraordinary example of the 35th Anniversary Corvette presents in the same as-new condition as when it rolled out of the assembly plant. Never dealer prepped or licensed, the car still has the protective plastic covering on the seats and steering wheel, and the original window sticker remains affixed to the windshield. Even better, the car is equipped with such rare and desirable extras as the optional MM4 4-speed manual transmission, dual removable roof panels and the rare engine block heater option.

1995 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZR1
DRIVEN 268 MILES SINCE NEW, 1 OF 49 COMPETITION YELLOW ZR1 MODELS PRODUCED IN 1995 As the man once said, all things must pass. Beginning in 1990 Corvette was transformed by the addition of the ZR1 Special Performance Package, but sales had been disappointing despite the car’s lightning performance and perennial rave reviews by the motoring press. After selling just 448 units for the third year in a row down from a peak first year of over 3,000, Chevrolet announced its decision to cease production of the ZR1 after 1995. But the ZR1 remained the most well-equipped and potent Corvette in two decades. Distinguished by its special rear body work designed to accommodate Goodyear Z-rated
P315/35ZR17 tires - the largest ever seen on the Corvette - the ZR1 came loaded with power driver and passenger Sport seats, electronic Selective Ride and Handling, electronic air conditioning control, Low Tire Pressure Warning System, Delco-Bose stereo with CD player and a specially laminated “solar” windshield. Originally offered with an MSRP of $69,553, this remarkable 1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 coupe represents the pinnacle of 4th generation Corvette high performance. Designed for maximum performance from top to bottom, it is best known for its legendary LT5 engine, jointly designed by Lotus and Chevrolet and delivering
S127
405 HP and 385 lb-ft of torque in its final 1995 configuration. This particular example is number 342 of 448 ZR1 Corvettes produced in 1995 and one of only 49 finished in Competition Yellow. At just 268 miles it is incredibly well preserved, retaining protective plastic film on the door sills and factory wrapping on one of the two included roof panels. Documentation includes the original factory window sticker.

1990 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZR1
FIRST YEAR KING OF THE HILL ZR1, 23 ORIGINAL MILES, NEVER PREPARED FOR DEALERSHIP DELIVERY Few new American cars have ever caused the stir that whipped up around the 1990 Corvette ZR1. In the late 1980s rumor and speculation had abounded in the motoring press with tales of a high-powered, “King of the Hill” model that would deliver weapons-grade performance. At long last, rumor became fact when the ZR1 officially debuted at the 1989 Geneva Auto Show. Offered at a hefty additional $27,016 above the base Corvette price, the ZR1’s central feature was its LT5 V-8 engine, an exotic ChevroletLotus designed piece that combined the standard V-8 small block architecture and 4.4-inch bore spacing with 4 overhead camshafts and 32 valves
to produce 375 HP, a figure not approached by any small block Corvette since the legendary LT1 of 1970. But the ZR1 was more than just a new and exotic powerplant; it was a complete performance package that included among other features wider rear bodywork to accommodate huge rear tires and a unique, convex rear fascia with rectangular tail lamps that made the car recognizable at a glance. The distinctive exterior elements contributed to the car’s mythical status among enthusiasts and auto critics, but it was the ZR1’s scorching performance – a 6,000 RPM redline, zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 175 MPH - that
S128
prompted Car and Driver Magazine to dub this new machine the “Corvette From Hell.” Reliving the heyday of ZR1 excitement is just a turn of the key away in this beautiful Arctic White model with only 23 miles. Optioned with dual roof panels and FX3 Selective Ride and Handling, it is one of only 127 White 1990 ZR1 Corvettes produced and features a Black interior. Having never been dealer prepped or licensed, this as-new ZR1 still has protective plastic coverings on the seats and steering wheel and the original window sticker intact.

1993 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZR1 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION DRIVEN 1,762 MILES SINCE NEW, TWO TOPS, WINDOW STICKER REMAINS INTACT With a boost in power from 245 HP to a full 300 HP in 1992, Chevrolet management felt the standard model Corvette’s performance was drawing too close to the ZR1, whose optional $31,683 price tag was added to the base car’s $34,595 MSRP. The solution was to add more value by boosting the ZR1’s already ample 375 HP to a whopping 405, the result of modifications to the cylinder heads and valve train. The ZR1 also now incorporated 4-bolt main bearings, a Mobil 1 synthetic oil specification, platinum tipped spark plugs for increased service life and a new electrical exhaust gas recirculation system for improved emission control. Together
these refinements endowed the car with stunning acceleration and unmatched speed. In its January 1994 “10 Best” issue Car and Driver Magazine declared the 1993 Corvette ZR1 the winner of the Top Speed category at a staggering 179 MPH, eclipsing the world’s best. Combining as it does a historic level of performance with special paint and trim in a limited edition, the 1993 40th Anniversary ZR1 is universally recognized as one of the most collectible Corvettes ever produced. Chevrolet built only 488 ZR1 Corvettes in 1993; of these, only 245 were ordered with the highly desirable 40th Anniversary Package that featured a one-

year-only Ruby Red exterior and matching leather interior. Adding to the mix are leather Sport seats, power AC1 and AC3 passenger and driver seats, electronic air conditioning, Delco-Bose AM/FM electronic sound system with cassette and CD player, low pressure tire warning system and both soft top and both tops. A highly collectible piece of Corvette performance history and a great addition to any Corvette collection with only 1,762 miles, this amazing 40th Anniversary ZR1 is documented with the original factory window sticker listing the car’s original MSRP of $67,778.

2006 FORD GT
SUPERCHARGED 5.4/550 HP V-8, 6-SPEED, ALL FOUR OPTIONS, DRIVEN 568 MILES SINCE NEW Described by Ford Motor Company as the “Pace car for an entire company”, the 2005-2006 Ford GT was inspired by the legendary GT40 racers built by Ford to defeat Ferrari on the world stage of prototype endurance racing. That mission was accomplished when three GT40 MK II racers crossed the finish line in 1-2-3 formation at the end of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. When it came time to celebrate Ford’s centennial with a special car, paying tribute to the GT40 was a natural choice. Equally natural was the decision to imbue the new car with the very latest in technological development, with the result that the GT is built on an aluminum and carbon fiber
S131
space frame using modern bonding techniques, and powered by a 5.4L/550 HP supercharged V-8 engine teamed with a Ricardo 6-speed transaxle. At 44 inches the GT is taller than its predecessor, which stood at an even 40 inches, but it shares the original’s stunning exterior and performance that qualifies it as a true exotic. One of just 4,038 GTs built, this Speed Yellow GT shows only 568 actual miles, and incorporates all 4 options: contrasting Le Mans stripes, polished alloy wheels, painted brake calipers and a McIntosh sound system.

THE CAR THAT SAVED THE CORVETTE BRAND, 1ST IN CLASS AND 9TH OVERALL AT SEBRING IN 1956 SERIAL NO. VE55S001194 ESTIMATE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
Forever known as “The Real McCoy”, this 1956 Chevrolet Corvette prototype delivered a historic onetwo punch against the competition that literally saved the Corvette, the result of a gargantuan effort to rescue the ailing brand whose sales were flagging under competition from Ford’s Thunderbird. It began life at Chevrolet as Engineering Project Tracking Number 6901, assembled under the supervision of Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov with a special bored-out 307 CI engine using dual Carter 4-barrel carbs and the now-legendary “Duntov cam.” With an estimated 255 horsepower on tap, the car powered Duntov to a new two-way Flying Mile speed record during NASCAR’s Daytona Speed Week, a high-profile event that drove hot competition between the factories and attracted widespread press coverage. Just two months later in March 1956 against the world’s best, it was driven by American racers John Fitch and Walt Hansgen to a historic class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring, firmly establishing the Corvette as a force in both American and international sports car racing and setting its course to becoming America’s Sports Car.

THE REAL MCCOY LINED UP IN THE #1 POSITION AT THE 1956 SEBRING 12 HOURS
The path to that success presented daunting challenges from the start. Conceived in secrecy and brought to life in a small building in Flint, MI, the 1953 Corvette was judged a success by its two GM creators and mentors, head of GM Styling Harley Earl and Chevrolet Division Chief Engineer Ed
Cole (who in 1956 became Chevrolet’s General Manager overseeing Duntov). 1954 opened with promise as a new plant was readied in St. Louis with the capacity to sell 10,000 cars per year. But just as production reached its peak, it was cut back; new Corvettes languished in showrooms, potential
buyers put off by the car’s uninspiring driveline and the absence of such basic amenities as roll-up windows. Then lightning struck: Ford announced that it would build a two-seat sports car to compete with Corvette. The first 1955 Thunderbirds were built in September, 1954 and,
in contrast to Corvette, were offered with a full range of colors and options, a choice of transmissions and such conveniences as roll-up or power side windows, a power seat and a fiberglass hard top, with a steel body whose styling borrowed heavily from the popular full-size Fords. A new 265 CI V-8 was introduced to Corvette for 1955, but it was still mated to the cast iron cased 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Sales slumped badly from 3,640 in 1954 to just 700 in 1955, while Thunderbird sales zoomed past 16,000. Fearing that GM was ready to abandon the Corvette, Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov wrote a letter to management, warning that such
a move would surrender precious territory to Ford in the years ahead and advising Chevrolet to accelerate Corvette development with the goal of turning it into a world class sports car. The challenge was accepted, and in 1956 Corvette was given a chance to realize its potential, but only after a
twist that saw Duntov’s influence seem to wane for a brief period. As one automotive writer had put it, Corvette’s main problem going into 1956 was that it was “without credentials”, a charge with which Duntov had agreed. Indeed, it was poring over the records set at the 1955
Daytona Speed Week that prompted Duntov to target the Flying Mile, which then stood at a two-way average of just over 127 MPH. He had already fitted 6901 with the 307 CI engine running the first “Duntov cam”, a radical grind that was central to the car’s recordsetting average of 150.583 MPH,
SATURDAY // 35
which Duntov accomplished just days before the 1956 GM Motorama opened at New York City’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The 150 MPH run generated massive publicity and new respect for Corvette, but the biggest challenge was yet to come.
36 // SATURDAY
Buoyed by the Daytona success, Ed Cole announced that a factory-backed Corvette team would be entered at the Sebring Sports Car 12 Hours of Endurance in March. Duntov’s presence at Cole’s announcement seemingly signaled the Chief
Engineer’s approval, but in fact he was alarmed; just six months previously he had witnessed Mercedes-Benz driver Pierre Levegh’s devastating crash at Le Mans in which 83 people were killed and another 63 seriously injured. As a veteran driver and frequent winner in
European racing, Duntov was fearful of Chevrolet’s lack of real-world racing experience. Having driven 6901 at Sebring while waiting for the weather to clear at Daytona, he knew that its brakes were unsuited to the rigors of a 12-hour race. He was also concerned
for Sebring’s inherent dangers: numerous hidden concrete hazards, closely situated buildings and almost no protection for spectators. Duntov presented his concerns to Chevrolet management in the hope that they would at least reconsider the Sebring plan; instead he was promptly reassigned by Ed Cole to managing the spare parts and vehicle testing programs. In Duntov’s place, Cole hired American driver John Fitch, who also had experience in Europe, most importantly as a Mercedes-Benz factory team driver with Stirling Moss and the great Juan Manuel Fangio, and under the tutelage of racing manager Alfred Neubauer. On the surface it looked like a blow to Duntov, but it would prove to serve both Ed Cole’s single-minded ambition and Duntov’s vision for Corvette’s future. Fitch faced the monumental task of preparing an admittedly very good production grand touring car for one of the world’s most punishing sports car endurance races, within a period of just five weeks. Cole had already laid the groundwork late in 1955 by sending three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Maury Rose to Daytona Beach in search of skilled mechanical talent, which he found in one Henry “Smokey” Yunick, owner of “Smokey’s Best Damned Garage in Town” and a legend in the making as a mechanic, builder and crew chief. Four Corvettes - 6901 and three stock production models - were sent to Yunick for initial preparation before delivery to Sebring, where Fitch was already busy testing a
SATURDAY // 37
single cobbled-together mule built up around a 1956 chassis and a 1955 body. Fitch’s early runs in the mule quickly revealed a host of problems. In his 1959 book “Adventure on Wheels: The Autobiography of a Road Racing Champion”, Fitch recounted his initial experience with the mule: “As the early days went by, and as we pounded our test car through exercises that simulated the wrenching strains of the road race, the expected troubles began – also some unexpected ones. We developed oil leaks, we loosened engine mounts, we threw fan belts, we struggled with handling problems. We had the wrong oil in the rear end, but we had to burn out several of them before we found the solution. March 24 seemed just around the corner, yet we had only begun to
38 // SATURDAY
learn how to turn Corvettes into the taut, tough competition machines that they would have to be.” Soon the four Yunick-prepared Corvettes arrived at Sebring to begin testing. Three were equipped with stock 265 CI engines and three-speed transmissions for C Production; the fourth, 6901, had the 307 CI engine now mated to a ZF 4-speed and would run in class B with Fitch and the talented Hansgen sharing the driving. Testing proceeded on the four race cars as well as the mule. As Fitch later pointed out, without a racing history upon which to draw conclusions, every problem represented unknown territory. “When we had a breakdown…we didn’t know what to blame: design fault, parts failure, wrong lubrication or possible
misuse. Our Corvettes were in deep water and learning to swim at the last minute.” With each new lesson came the need for new equipment to apply to the Sebring cars. Back in Detroit, Duntov kept the process going, designing new pieces, assigning part numbers and cataloguing them as factory options to qualify them for homologation. Ongoing improvements allowed testing to continue with increasing rigor, exposing ever more gremlins and hastening the demand for more heavy duty parts. It was a seemingly never-
ending spiral that had Duntov and the factory scrambling to keep up. Finally, time simply ran out. After attending to a flurry of last minute details, Fitch and his team had nothing left but to line up the four Corvettes at the front of the starting grid. Their respective positions were dictated simply by engine displacement, putting the Fitch/Hansgen Corvette (wearing Number 1 by virtue of its first place on the starting grid) at the front and the other three team cars behind a 5.0 liter Ferrari in second place. Fitch started the race with his typical
studied care, watching in his mirrors to make sure the other three cars also got off to a good start. Nursing the car through the first lap, Fitch was passed by two D-Type Jaguars and Stirling Moss’ Aston Martin while holding to his planned pace, but on the second lap the engine’s rising exhaust note betrayed a slipping clutch. Using a trick he had employed at Le Mans in 1953 to curb the same problem, Fitch deliberately slipped the clutch in high gear until the cockpit filled with smoke, then again nursed it for a lap to allow the clutch to cool and then stabilize.
The maneuver allowed the car to continue, albeit with its maximum revs reduced by 400 at the top of the torque range; this limitation proved to be what kept it going through the day. By the end of that third lap, Fitch saw the Number 5 Corvette resting askew off the U-turn minus a wheel. An hour later on the twenty-second lap, the Number 7 car’s engine expired in spectacular fashion, enveloping the airport straight in a cloud of oil smoke and reducing the team to two cars; one with a shaky clutch, the other with only high gear left in the transmission.
SATURDAY // 39
Fortunately, as always happens in bigleague endurance racing, other top teams were fighting their own battles for survival, including the Aston Martins of Moss and Collins, the Hill/Gregory Ferrari and the Team Cunningham D-Type Jaguars, all nonfinishers. With less than an hour to go, Walt Hansgen took the wheel, maintaining solid lap times to bring home a first in class victory and a ninth overall; only twenty four of the sixty starters completed the race. It was a truly remarkable finish to what had seemed
40 // SATURDAY
an impossible task, from which Corvette emerged an undeniable winner, additionally scoring both production team and production sports car honors. The Fitch/Hansgen Corvette had literally saved the Corvette brand. Chevrolet immediately trumpeted the accomplishment in dramatic print ads heralding Corvette as “a tough, road-gripping torpedo on wheels” and “the most remarkable car made in America today.” The message between the lines was the most important one of all: Corvette had finally arrived
as a force in international sports car racing, a feat symbolized in the simple headline: “The Real McCoy.” While initially prepared for the 12 Hours by Smokey Yunick in Daytona Beach, the car’s final configuration was the result of five weeks of torrid development work that emphasized handling, brakes and reliability, the three major contributors to endurance racing success. Testing generated numerous specialized parts, including magnesium Halibrand knock-off wheels, special heavy duty brakes with cooling scoops, heavy duty springs,
shocks and sway bars, a shorter steering column, quick-ratio steering and a larger fuel tank. Each new piece was made available in the factory Corvette parts catalog for homologation, making it available to other Corvette owners and racers, another factor that contributed to rebranding the Corvette with a true sports car pedigree. Nothing, however, was more crucial to Corvette’s successful turnaround than the class win at America’s premier sports car endurance race, a fact that makes “The Real McCoy” a pioneer in Corvette’s glorious racing history.

1967 SHELBY GT350 FASTBACK
HIGHLY OPTIONED EARLY PRODUCTION EXAMPLE #00117, WELL PRESERVED IN UNRESTORED CONDITION Behind any collector car that remains unrestored to the present day is a story. In the normal course of affairs cars, especially a car built as a weekend racer like the GT350, suffer wear and damage that gets repaired later on when they become collectible. 1967 Shelby GT350 #0117, however, escaped both fates. Completed on December 8, 1966, it was one of the first built yet must have been one of the last sold, as Dale Newton didn’t buy it from Portland, Oregon’s famed Ron Tonkin Ford until New Year’s Eve 1967! The slow selling may have had to do with a high sticker price, thanks to a long and very appealing option list featuring power steering and brakes, along with a competition
handling package. Shelby’s 1966 GT350s had sold to hard-core enthusiasts and casual buyers alike, but after the furor died down, those who weren’t into the weekend racing scene started to tire of the car’s uncompromising performance mission. So for the 1967 models, Shelby quieted the car down and made it more civilized, repurposing it from boy racer to civilized GT with an edge. Power steering and brakes became standard and the ride was notably less stiff. You still got the Shelbyized 289 making an advertised 306 HP, along with an improved fiberglass hood that foreshadowed the Shelby’s look for 1968. Increased curb weight sent 0-60 times down by about a half-second, although
S133
actual top speed increased notably, tested to 129 MPH with a 4-speed and 3.89 axle by Sports Car Graphic, again in keeping with a GT’s mission. That made the GT350 more suitable for daily use, and #117 was reportedly used as a daily driver by Newton’s wife in Ashland, Oregon, including taking their kids to school. She was clearly no leadfoot, as it retains its matching numbers engine and transmission. It ended up stored for 20 years in a shipping container in Chico, California, thus preserving a wonderful degree of originality. Fully decked out with convenience and performance options and substantially original, #117 is everything a Shelby collector could want.

1932 FORD 3 WINDOW COUPE STREET ROD
GM 454/450 HP V-8 WITH ALUMINUM HEADS, UNCUT STEEL BODY, 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES Immortalized in American popular culture, the subject of countless racing and rodding exploits and a constant on the landscape for more than 80 years, the 1932 Ford coupe – in either three- and five-window form - long ago attained Holy Grail status with enthusiasts. This iconic three-window coupe is a desirable rendition by virtue of its allsteel, uncut body, but there is so much more to recommend it. The presentation is decidedly traditional, incorporating the classic louver treatment on the three piece hood and gleaming PPG Tangerine Pearl clear coat/base coat paint highlighted by selective use of chrome. The suicide-door, full-fendered look is complemented
by the car’s nose-down attitude, which is largely a feature of its dropped front suspension, which uses upper and lower A-arms, drop spindles and coilover shocks in concert with rack and pinion steering. Staggered-size BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires mounted on Kidney Bean wheels add to the effect. A GM 454/450 HP big block V-8 with aluminum heads, Holley 4-barrel, block hugger headers and welded stainless steel exhaust rides the rails up front, teamed here with a 400 Turbo automatic and a Ford 9-inch rear end with triangulated 4-bar suspension. The custom interior is clean and traditional in design and execution, with luxury Beige leather used on the
S134 seats, doors and kick-panels (and in the finished trunk); a rare crank down rear window, power side windows, banjo steering wheel on a polished aluminum tilt column and Classic gauges on the painted steel dash.

1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE L72 427/425 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, RARE COLOR COMBINATION Of the 27,720 Corvettes sold in 1966, only 1,190 left the factory wearing Tuxedo Black paint, the lowest of any color choice. Although the exact number is unknown, we can imagine how few Corvette convertibles must have paired that color with this one’s rare Silver interior. Regardless of the numbers, it is a pleasing combination that will make a great addition to any collection. But there is more to recommend this handsome midyear to collectors, for it packs the punch of the top production engine for 1966 – the new L72 427 CI big block V-8. Built with a forged rotating assembly in a 4-bolt main block, a high lift, high duration solid lifter cam, 11:1 compression, high-
S135
flowing rectangular-port heads with large valves and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor on an aluminum intake, the L72 was conservatively rated at 425 HP. The L72 proved instantly popular with the growing contingent of big block Corvette buyers, who were enthralled with its raw power. This rare Corvette was the recipient of a frame-off restoration completed in 2013 that shows close attention to detail. In addition to its unique color scheme and big block V-8, it is equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, power steering and disc brakes, Soft Ray tinted windshield, side exhaust and finned aluminum knock-off wheels.

348 CI V-8, POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC, LONG TERM FAMILY OWNERSHIP, 39,000 ORIGINAL MILES This 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible is a well-documented example of the post “Tri-Five” era transitional model that paved the way for the more pronounced tailfins of 1959 and 1960. Its first owner was Mr. George A. Snell, who purchased the car right off the showroom floor at Bill James Chevrolet in St. Louis, Missouri. The car was inherited by Mr. Snell’s son, George Jr., prior to his father’s passing in 1985. Snell Jr. always kept the car garaged and drove it only occasionally to keep it in good condition. Worried that his beloved family heirloom would deteriorate if not driven more regularly, Snell Jr. sold the car to a close family friend, who subsequently restored it
over 2008-2009 with obvious great care; the car has recently received further maintenance. Now showing just 39,000 original miles, it is once again in virtually as-new condition, repainted for the first time in the original Silver Blue, its brightly colored Tri-tone Blue interior also nicely restored and very fresh. A new vinyl soft top has also been installed and new wide Whitewall tires fitted to its Red painted steel wheels, which retain the original spinner wheel covers. This very attractive Impala convertible is powered by Chevy’s classic 348 CI W-head big block engine, here mated to a Powerglide automatic transmission.

1969 FORD MUSTANG BOSS 429 FASTBACK
KK #1696, ORIGINAL 429/375 HP V-8, UNRESTORED WITH ONE REPAINT IN FACTORY CORRECT CANDYAPPLE RED Like its 302-powered counterpart, the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 was named by its designer Larry Shinoda after his friend Semon “Bunkie” Knudson, who oversaw Shinoda’s work at Chevrolet and then Ford, after the pair defected to Dearborn in 1968. In the process of rescuing the new Mustang, Shinoda created the powerful but agile Boss 302, whose improved chassis and styling were the perfect platform for homologating Ford’s new NASCAR 429 “semi hemi” engine. Thus the Boss 429 was born, built by Kar Kraft in Brighton, Michigan. This 1969 Boss 429 is Kar Kraft number 1696, one of very few still in existence that remains unrestored but
for a single repaint in the original Candyapple Red. A popular and high-profile feature of the famed Floyd Garrett Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville, Tennessee for approximately 10 years, it still retains its original matching numbers 429/375 HP engine, Borg Warner 4-speed close ratio manual transmission and 3.91 rear end with Traction-Lok differential. The Black Deluxe interior, including Comfortweave bucket seats, console, in-dash clock, woodgrain accents, special gauges, rimblow steering wheel and Visibility Group is also original, as are the mufflers and tailpipes and the paint in the door and trunk jam areas.

1968 FORD MUSTANG LIGHTWEIGHT COBRA JET
S142
428 COBRA JET V-8, 4-SPEED, NHRA SS/F NATIONAL RECORD HOLDER, #6 OF 50 BUILT Ford redesigned the Mustang for 1967 to accept the new FE series of big block engines, but it was not until dealer and racer Bob Tasca challenged the factory to a duel that the idea was born to install a special version of the 428 to create a winning drag racer. Tasca showed up at the Dearborn test track with a lightweight Mustang Fastback powered by a 428 CI FE big block engine specially built by Tasca’s engine expert John Healey. Ford brass were so impressed by the car’s performance – and by a letter-writing campaign stoked by Hot Rod Magazine – that they decided to build 50 purpose-built lightweight Mustangs for 1968 using two versions of the 428
CI engine they dubbed the Cobra Jet: one for Super Stock/F with 11.6:1 compression and a solid lifter cam; and the other set at 11.0:1 and using a somewhat milder hydraulic cam for C/ Stock. A fleet of 8 Cobra Jet Mustangs invaded the 1968 NHRA Winternationals, laying waste to the competition and establishing the Cobra Jet formula as a lasting force; the remaining cars still competing continue their winning ways even today. This 1968 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 4-speed is one of those 50 famed lightweight factory drag racers built by Ford to dominate Super Stock competition. The car raced extensively and in 1972 under the names Turley and Caster and set a
new NHRA SS/F record with an elapsed time of 10.95 seconds at 125.46 MPH. Number 6 in the series of 50 cars, it has been expertly restored to its original racing configuration and now shows a mere 1,438 miles. It is documented with a copy of the NHRA Record Certificate and a Deluxe Marti Report.

When Plymouth stuffed the mighty 426/425 HP Hemi street engine into the production Cuda, it created what many opine was the ultimate muscle car, one most fans closely associated with the factory-backed Pro Stockers that were tearing up the competition at the hands of such stalwarts as Sox & Martin, Bill Bagshaw and others.

1963 FORD GALAXIE 500 FASTBACK R-CODE 427/425 HP V-8, 4-SPEED
At the outset of 1963 it appeared that Ford would leave its flagship Galaxie relatively untouched from 1962, but big changes were in store; the summer brought a shock to Ford’s competition with the introduction of the new R-code option 427/425 HP V-8 in the Galaxie 500 Sport Special Tudor Fastback. The Fastback roof was Ford’s answer to the need for better aerodynamics on NASCAR’s super speedways, and the full-race dual 4-barrel 427 and T-10 Toploader 4-speed manual transmission were its complements. Derived from the Y-block 390 CI engine, the 427 was a full blown powerhouse intended not only for NASCAR but for Super Stock drag racing

as well, where it almost completely eclipsed the competition. Still wearing its original door tag, this rare and desirable 1963 ½ Galaxie 500 Fastback is newly painted in correct Raven Black and boasts a new Black interior with split bench seat, AM/FM push button radio and floor mats. In addition to all new chrome, this R-code Galaxie is fitted with front and rear bumper guards, dual outside mirrors, fender skirts and Hi Po spinner wheel covers. The trunk is likewise complete and includes the full trunk mat, spare tire, jack and tools.

“What if, at just the right time, just the right people made just the right thing?” asked Porsche collector Jerry Seinfeld said when he drove his 1973 911RS on an episode of his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. “What if it came out so right that no matter how hard anybody tried, they couldn’t quite make a thing that was better than that thing? It doesn’t happen much,” he said, “but the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS is one of those things.” Porsche’s mission— which also explains low production of 1,580 cars—was to homologate the 911 Carrera for FIA Group 5 racing. Five hundred were needed; of those first cars 61 were ultra-lightweights, with the bulk more road-oriented “M472” RS Touring models. All, however, were based on the same set of modifications that turned a 911S into a Renn (racing) Sport. Most arresting when you see an RS is the burzel, the ducktail spoiler, making its first appearance on any production car. Like the front and rear bumpers, air dam and engine cover, it’s fiberglass, part of a lightweight package that sees the Touring hit the road at 2,370 pounds. Unlike the RS Sport, the touring holds onto creature comforts such as carpeting and insulation, making it far more suitable for on-road driving. Fat fender flares are another homologation

touch, accommodating seven- and eightinch tires on 15-inch Fuchs light alloy wheels. Racebred suspension components specific to the RS include aluminum front brake calipers and heavy duty rear trailing arms and torsion tubes. The RS’s 2.7-liter engine was quite an upgrade from the 2.4 in even a 911S. A 90mm bore made the flatsix even more oversquare and rev-happy, producing 210 HP and 202 lb-ft torque. This car, number 1222, retains its numbers matching engine according to the included Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, with improved longevity from more modern oil-fed chain tensioners. Research shows #1222 was delivered to Italy in the Light Ivory over black leatherette scheme it wears today. Collectible almost from new, it has been in collections in Japan and more recently Mexico, before joining a Porsche collection in the United States. Although the Carrera RS was never sold here new, it is old enough that the lack of any factory emissions equipment is no longer an issue. Inspection finds older work in excellent condition, making it a perfect candidate to drive now and restore later. A 300 KPH speedometer and dash rally times are ready for the next California Mille or Texas 1000, and sport seats reupholstered with corduroy inserts will cradle you in comfort for days of touring. Seven inch front and eight inch rear Fuchs wheels are equipped, with correct color matching crests. A toolkit and original owner’s manual will be important if a restoration for Concours judging are in the car’s future. “You can ask anybody that’s ever driven one,” said Seinfeld. “There’s something about this car that feels...perfect.”

1967 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE
L71 427/435 HP V-8, UNRESTORED TWO TOP CAR WITH FACTORY SIDE EXHAUST AND ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER This very well preserved 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible has spent almost all of the last 47 years in the exceptional care of just two owners, having passed that entire time just a few miles from Riker Chevrolet in Burlington, New Jersey. The first owner was a local policeman, who ordered the car originally and kept it in his garage. In the first four and a half years during which he owned the car he put just 19,000 miles on his baby, after which he sold it to its second owner in October of 1971. Fifteen years later in 1986, the car earned NCRS Top Flight Award honors, subsequently remaining with the second owner its recent purchase by a private collector. Over
the years it has remained unrestored and almost completely original; the only items that have been replaced are the stock style bias-ply Whitewall tires and the air cleaner lid. The car represents the 1967 Corvette in its most potent production form, employing the powerful L71 427/435 HP big block V-8, in this case backed by a Muncie M21 close ratio 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear differential. Power disc brakes, K66 Transistor Ignition and N14 Side Mount Exhaust add to the car’s peak performance potential. Goodwood Green metallic was the most popular color in 1967; here it is accented with a matching auxiliary hard top, White Stinger and

a very sharp Saddle interior optioned with Soft Ray tinted glass and an AM/FM radio. Showing a believed correct 40,503 miles, this quality Midyear Sting Ray is well documented with original paperwork and documents, including window sticker, floor mats, radio tag, owner’s manual and second title; even the build sheet is in its original place atop the fuel tank.

Chevy pickups threw off the blue-collar working class aura of old, incorporating taut body contouring, a Corvette-inspired wraparound windshield, integrated front fenders and front end styling that closely approximated the top-ofthe-line Bel Air. Over fifty years later, examples such as this rare 1957 3100 still have status among collectors as desirable classics. Extensively
restored, it boasts a laser straight all-steel body finished in Cardinal Red clear coat/base coat paint by PPG. The cosmetic presentation is a visual feast; gleaming chrome and brightwork on the bumpers, grille and body trim, a refinished Oak cargo bed, new window glass and door gaskets and pristine wide Whitewalls on painted steel wheels with bright trim rings and hubcaps. The same care and attention has been applied to the undercarriage, which has been detailed to show quality condition. The interior is all new and shows it, offering a period correct two-tone Black vinyl bench seat, padded dash and more gleaming Red paint and chrome. Befitting such

When Chevrolet unveiled the allnew 1963 Corvette Stingray, Corvette was already the dominant force in Production road racing across the country. Beginning in 1956 Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov had transformed the original fiberglassbodied sports car through arduous testing and racing development, adding various new engines, suspension pieces and braking systems to the factory option list. With the new Stingray, Duntov finally assembled a mixture of special performance parts and Regular Production Options into a single package known as RPO Z06. The Z06 was the answer to every serious Corvette racer’s dreams, and among those welcoming its arrival was Xenia, Ohio Chevrolet dealer and sportsman racer Dick Lang. Driving his Red 1959 Corvette, the hardcharging Lang had raced throughout the Midwest, Central, Northeast and Southeast regions in SCCA events, quickly reaching regional and national status as one of the best drivers in A and B Production. By 1963, the young Lang openly aspired to win a national title and become a professional driver. He had finished 4th in SCCA A Production national standings in 1962, and the new Z06 appeared to be his

ticket to the big time. Lang took delivery of one of the first so-called “batch built” Z06 coupes. Like his earlier racers it bore brilliant Red paint, but most similarities ended there. The sleek and revolutionary new Stingray body was unlike anything seen on the road;
beneath it was a brand new chassis sporting sophisticated independent rear suspension that vastly improved the Corvette’s roadholding. The Z06 package added heavy duty front and rear springs and shock absorbers and a front sway bar; sintered metallic brake linings, heavy duty finned drums,
forward-operating self-adjusters, brake cooling scoops and a Z06-exclusive vacuum-powered dual circuit master cylinder. Power was supplied by the race-proven and incredibly potent 327/360 HP small block engine with Rochester fuel injection and the famed solid lifter “Duntov” cam. One of just
199 built, Dick Lang’s Z06 was also one of only 63 supplied with the RPO N03 36 gallon fiberglass fuel tank. Lang and his sparkling new Riverside Red Z06 coupe entered the 1963 season with two races in February at Bill France’s Daytona International Speedway, finishing 7th in the American Challenge Cup qualifying race on Sunday, February 10 before failing to start in the 250mile race on the following Saturday; the pair made the front page of the Daytona Beach Evening News with an above-the-fold color photograph of Lang and his Corvette, at speed on the Daytona banking, that is now part of the car’s extensive documentation. So began a series of wins and spirited finishes that once again
propelled Lang to prominence in the SCCA’s National Championship chase. On April 7 in the SCCA National Championship opening race at Marlboro, Maryland, Lang finished 2nd behind Dr. Dick Thompson in the Gulf Oil-sponsored lightweight Corvette Z06 entered by Grady Davis. After a DNF at Virginia, it was on to Cumberland on May 12 and a record number of entrants comprising some of the nation’s top cars and drivers. The event served notice that a new threat had emerged in bigleague Production racing in the form of Carroll Shelby’s awesome Cobras. Veteran sports racer Bob Johnson pressed the point home on the very first lap when he pulled away from Dick Thompson’s lightweight Stingray coupe, never to be challenged again. Much to the annoyance of the many Corvette supporters in attendance, Johnson and his 289 Cobra lapped every Corvette in A Production but one: Dick Lang’s #85. Podium finishes at Grayling and Mid-Ohio and an outright win at Lynndale Farms once again culminated in a 4th place finish in the SCCA National Championship standings for Dick Lang and his Z06, one of several Corvette entries set adrift by Chevrolet’s untimely official withdrawal from competition. Shelby’s Cobra would soon eclipse Duntov’s beloved Z06 as the car of choice in SCCA, USRRC and FIA International Production competition. While independent stalwarts such as Lang
pressed on without factory support, the lightweight entries of Dick Thompson and Grady Davis had Gulf Oil’s considerable resources (not the least of which was a huge multi-dynamometer engine testing facility) to help them along, a confluence of forces that made Dick Lang’s achievements that year all the more impressive. The Cobra’s allure proved irresistible to Lang when he was invited to drive George Reed, Jr.’s Black #19 roadster at the 1964 Sebring season opener, but misfortune struck when the fuel tank began leaking before Lang’s scheduled first stint and retired the car. Lang then reactivated the Z06 for the April 12 Marlboro Raceway President’s Cup, where he finished 4th, leading the Corvette contingent
SATURDAY // 81
behind the top-finishing Cobras of Charlie Hayes, Harold Keck and Daniel Gerber. The SCCA Nationals at VIR proved one of the most exciting events of the year for A Production racers and fans alike. Undaunted by the Cobras, Lang leapt out to the front of the pack and led for the opening laps, but he over-revved the engine in that opening dash, taking the edge off the high strung small block and forcing him to give way to Mark Donohue and others as he dropped back. The Cobras overwhelmed the field, but unfortunately the race did not end for Lang at the checkered flag. He had modified the rear wheel wells of his Z06 to accommodate huge new racing Goodyears and was disqualified after a protest from the Cobra contingent. Lang later filed a counter-protest as the Cobras had used identical tires, and the matter was resolved when the two parties agreed to eschew further shenanigans for the remainder of the season. Lang’s clashes with the Shelby juggernaut continued as the season progressed, producing memorable contests that captivated fans and often overshadowed the headline events. He prevailed against the Cobras one more time on June 14 at Mid-Ohio, where he jousted with independent Bob Johnson before taking a well-deserved A Production win. His final race of the season at the inaugural Riverside American Road Race of Champions ended when he crashed the Z06, but not before impressing the West Coast
82 // SATURDAY
crowd with his withering attacks on the works Cobras on that famous high-speed road course. Consistency once again paid off, this time with a 3rd place finish in the SCCA National A Production Championship. He was the only Corvette driver in the top five, the rest of whom raced Cobras. Dick Lang and the Z06 returned to Ohio after Riverside. He withdrew from racing for the next three years to fight a dispute with the IRS, eventually winning a judgement that also favored dealers across the country by upholding the use of demonstrator vehicles by family members. Lang sold the Z06 to his barber, who restored it over the next fifteen years to street use, including reinstalling the strip of fiberglass Lang removed from the rear
window to run it as a 1964 model. Terry Michaelis of ProTeam Classic Corvettes discovered the car in the summer of 2011 while investigating another vintage Corvette race car. After extensive research Michaelis, Franz Estereicher and the NCRS/ GM Documentation Service positively confirmed its origins as the Dick Lang Z06 Tanker race car; it was then transported to Houston for a complete restoration by the renowned Nabers Brothers at a cost of $240,000. The Dick Lang 1963 Corvette Z06 Tanker Split Window Coupe was reintroduced to the world with an honored place in the Corvette Nationals Competition Corvette display in November 2012. In 2013 it was displayed at no fewer than four
prestigious Concours d’Elegance, scoring numerous honors including Best in Class at the Dayton Concours d’ Elegance in September and Best in Class, First Place and the Special Display Award at the 36th Annual Ault Park Concours d’Elegance of America in July. Perhaps most significantly, it has also won the National Corvette Restorers Society American Heritage Award “For the preservation of a historically significant piece of Corvette history”, an elusive prize shared by an exclusive club now numbering just 36 members, cementing both car and driver as milestone figures in Corvette’s quintessentially American story.

1959 PORSCHE 356A 1600S CABRIOLET
COACHWORK BY REUTTER, 1600 SUPER ENGINE, 4-SPEED, PORSCHE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY It’s not supposed to work: Hanging an engine out back of a sports car should be a recipe for catastrophic failure. This is exactly why after driving a Porsche 356 for the first time, so many enthusiasts ask themselves, “how can anything so wrong seem so right?” Unrelenting development since the first hand-built 1948 Porsche 356 prototypes paid tremendous dividends by the time the 356A came out for 1955. Still boasting fourwheel independent suspension with a swing axle rear, the 356A’s smaller wheel size and overall fine tuning added a level of refinement that not only provided a more supple ride, but also a faster and far more predictable car at its limits. Still at the
heart of the 356A was the air-cooled, overhead valve horizontally-opposed four cylinder engine, eventually enlarged to 1,582cc. Power was routed to the rear wheels via a robust 4-speed transaxle, which received a heavier-duty clutch and a better shift linkage for 1958. When Road & Track published its test of a 356A 1600 Super in April of 1958, they found the car was capable of reaching 60 MPH in just 10.5 seconds and 107 MPH flat out. These results bested plenty of big name sports cars, including many with engines well over two liters. This offered 1959 example with its 75 horsepower 1600 Super engine, along with the Reutter-built 356A Cabriolet body, represents one
S150
of the best combinations of the model run. In a condition suitable for driving and presentation on a show field, its luxurious deep Red leather reclining seats, dash and door panels contrast perfectly with the luscious Black paint and top. Superior weather protection, more comfortable seating, sensuous lines and marvelous dynamic performance make late build 356A 1600 Super Cabriolets like this the top choice of many seasoned Porschephiles for club tours and extended sporting drives.

This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is considered by many Corvette authorities to be possibly the finest example of one of the rarest production Corvettes ever built. Produced on Valentine’s Day, 1963 and delivered to Atzenhoffer Chevrolet in Victoria, Texas, this Sebring Silver and Red Z06 coupe was sold to its original owner in Grand Prairie, Texas. In addition to the Z06 Special Performance Equipment package that included the L84 327/360 HP fuel injected V-8 and 4-speed manual transmission, power brakes with dual circuit master cylinder, metallic brake shoes, backing plate air scoops and heavy duty suspension, it was also equipped with 6.70-15 6-ply nylon Blackwall tires, full size spinner wheel covers, Delco AM radio and the extremely rare 36-gallon fuel tank. The owner campaigned the car extensively throughout the Midwest in SCCA competition and was later sold, passing through several owners until it was rediscovered in Salt Lake City in 1976. A total frame-off restoration was undertaken following purchase by its present owner in 1979 and completed in 1984 to the highest possible quality. The interior, chassis and drivetrain remain original to the car, which was painted with original factory-

L71 427/435 HP V-8, BLOOMINGTON GOLD CERTIFIED, DOCUMENTED WITH THE TANK STICKER AND OWNER HISTORY There are good reasons why the Sting Ray usually tops enthusiast lists of the most coveted generation of Corvette. With stunning styling, insane power and corner-carving balance courtesy of the independent rear suspension debuting on this generation in 1963, the C2 Sting Ray simply delivers the goods. Chevrolet no doubt saved the best for the body style’s final year in 1967. Not only were there a few subtle styling changes to maximize the car’s visual appeal, but also new ultimate performance equipment graced the list of Regular Production Options. When this Corvette was originally ordered by Don Allen Chevrolet in Pittsburgh, all the right RPO boxes were checked.
It received the L71 solid lifter 427 CI V-8, which when fed by its three two barrel carburetors served 435 tire-smoking horses. To get the most from the engine, the M21 close ratio 4- speed manual transmission, 4.11 Positraction rear end, power brakes and power steering were also selected. Looking at the car, there’s no doubt why the combination of Marina Blue with White soft top and Bright Blue interior remains as desirable now as it was when new. The visual appeal of this example is completed with the desirable Off-Road Exhaust, as well as the Cast Aluminum Bolt-On Wheels. This Sting Ray was the subject of a noexpense-spared body-off restoration by a foremost

Corvette facility. The quality and authenticity of the work has been rewarded with some of the highest achievements available, including Bloomington Gold certification, NCRS Top Flight, Gold Spinner and AACA Senior. In 2011 this Sting Ray was even a nominee for Best in USA. It is highly documented with original trim and VIN tags, tank sticker, owner history from new and competitive judging sheets.

As the founder of General Motors Styling and Design, Harley Earl left a monumental imprint on American automotive styling for decades. One of the rewards for his success was that, even long after his retirement in 1958, as a GM consultant, Earl could order any Corvette he desired, built to his personal specifications even if they required special paint, fabrication or options. Over the years, documented factory special Corvettes have taken their rightful places at the top of the vintage Corvette hierarchy, but one was known to have been built that always eluded detection, a Pink Pearl 1963 coupe Earl had specially built for his wife Sue. From 1963 through 1965 Sue Earl and her Pink Pearl Corvette were a common sight around Palm Beach, Florida, where the Earls lived after Harley’s retirement. The car was delivered to the Earls refinished in Pink Pearl to match their Pink Coral Palm Beach home. The stock drivetrain was maintained, comprising a 327/300 HP V-8 engine and Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission, and the car was also fitted with power windows, power steering and brakes and air conditioning. It is known that modifications GM’s Color and
98 // SATURDAY
Style Department made to the car were performed under Special Order 10324, putting it in direct sequence with the famous Harley Earl Corvette convertible built under S.O. 10323. Shortly after its reception, Harley Earl returned the car to General Motors in Detroit, where it was
restyled with other new prototype features. The split window was removed and replaced with a 1964-67 style one piece rear glass (interestingly date coded July 1963). The inside rear view mirror was also upgraded to the wider Impala design to suit Sue Earl, and a 1964 B-pillar ventilation
system added. It was then returned to the Earls’ Palm Beach home and once again driven by Sue Earl. Later in 1964 the Pink Corvette received further upgrades from Chevrolet Engineering Division that included a dual circuit master cylinder, 4-wheel disc brakes with frame modifications,
1965 style undated knock-off wheels and new hood, front side fenders and grille, gauges, clock, radio and console – all likewise from the 1965 parts bin. On November 22, 1965 the car was sold by West Palm Beach Chevrolet dealer Roger Dean to Mary Louise Gregory, also of Palm Beach, who paid $3,279 including license, title and taxes. Mrs. Gregory owned the car until March 10, 1970, when she sold it to Doris A. Rifenburgh from Herkimer, New York, who had a winter home in Pompano Beach, Florida. In 1974 Mrs. Rifenburgh returned from Pompano Beach with the Sue Earl Corvette to her home in Herkimer, where the car remained
SATURDAY // 99
until October, 1976. That is when Joe Cifarelli of neighboring New Hartford spotted the car while driving through town on business. On impulse he pulled into the circular driveway of the Rifenburgh residence, parked behind the Corvette and knocked on the door. In fewer than ten minutes, he had agreed with Mrs. Rifenburgh to buy the car, after which she wryly informed Joe that the car did not in fact run. Joe quickly diagnosed the problem as a broken set of ignition points. After a quick repair, he took possession of the Corvette and drove it home. Joe and his wife enjoyed the Corvette on a couple of outings, after which he placed it in storage and closed the door, creating a mystery that would last for the next 37 years. Recently, Joe Cifarelli had Corvette specialists Mike and Martin Denapole perform a thorough mechanical inspection and freshening to prepare the Pink Corvette for public display. Removing the driver’s door inside panel, they found the Special Order number 10324 written in pencil on the paper vapor barrier, confirming the car’s authenticity. Today the Sue Earl Corvette coupe accurately displays 27,457 original miles as confirmed by Mr. Cifarelli. It remains, paradoxically, both unrestored and a restorer’s delight, as every major original part of this rare Corvette is present from its 1965 state and its purchase in 1976. At that point, in addition to its special paint, the car bore the following distinguishing features:

Out of the public eye for 37 years, its whereabouts or even its existence unknown but to a very few until now, the Sue Earl Corvette has finally been unveiled once more, an unrestored treasure complete with full owner history and documentation, including the bill of sale from Roger Dean Chevrolet stating the car “belonged to Chevrolet Motor Division Engineering Center.” This one-ofa-kind factory creation’s origins and history give it the lasting stature matched only by the very few other Corvettes that are directly integral to the Harley Earl legend.

After Cobra racer Tom Payne injured himself in a garage accident, his friend, Ferrari driver Bob Grossman, offered to drive Payne’s Cobra at the 1965 Nassau Trophy Races and wound up winning his class. Upon returning home Grossman immediately sold h is Ferrari 250L M and ordered a production Competition Cobra from Shelby, one of only 23 of a total of 343 427 Cobras eventually built. CSX3016 was shipped to Grossman’s Foreign Car City in West Nyack, New York on February 28, 1966. Grossman entered the car as number 6 in the 12 Hours of Sebring, painted Silver Mink with Red, White and Blue stripes, Halibrand wheels, Black roll bar and Black side exhaust. Wit h Grossman and Ed Lowther sharing driving duties, the car finished 10th overall and 1st in class, Production Sports Cars over 5.0 Litres. During the remainder of 1966 Grossman raced the car at such Northeast tracks as Cumberland, Maryland; Bridgehampton, New York; Danville, Virginia and Lime Rock, Connecticut. The car set a new lap record at Watkins Glen, New York, where it crashed in the rain and retired. It passed through different owners over several years, at one point even being temporarily mistitled as 3106

Finished in Bright Blue with White stripes, Black roll bar and White side exhaust, it competed in vintage racing from 1995 and 2002 before sold to Anthony Boosalis of La Canada, California in 2005. More recently, CSX3016 was purchased by a private collector, who commissioned respected H.R.E. Motorcars, Inc. of Freeport, New York to perform a major inspection and to prepare it for the Greenwich Concours. It was subsequently returned to H.R.E. for the next phase of the proposed work. This included dismantling the exterior and interior and parts of the chassis and engine bay, and repairing and refinishing the body in its original colors. H.R.E. then assembled the car with refurbished parts, then fully detailed it with the correct decals, wheels and tires. The work is completely documented by noted Cobra authority and H.R.E. President William H. Andrews, who confirms the authenticity of CSX3016 as the Bob Grossman Sebring Cobra in a letter that describes the restoration and specifically differentiates it from other Cobras. Now finished in its original livery as raced by Grossman, it is a showcase factory Competition Cobra ready for both show and competition.

1962 CHEVROLET CORVETTE BIG TANK
327/340 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, 1 OF 65 PRODUCED WITH 24 GALLON FUEL TANK, ONE OWNER SINCE NEW 1962 was a pivotal year for Corvette. Two-tone paint was dropped along with the chrome side cove border trim; it was the last Corvette with a conventional trunk until the 1998 convertible and the last to use a solid rear axle, marking the end of the first generation. It was also the first year for the 327 CI small block V-8, which ranged in power from 250 to 360 HP. The rarest of all 1962 Corvettes are those ordered with the RPO 488 24-gallon fuel tank intended for competition; only 65 were built, one of which is offered here in racy Roman Red with a matching Red interior. Remarkably, this car has only ever had one owner, who purchased it on January 21,
1963 from the original dealer, Hallam’s Central Chevrolet of Rochester, New York. Documented with the original finance contract and an NCRS Shipping Report, it was built on April 4, 1962 and entered the world ready to take on all challengers thanks to its 327 CI powerplant, which used a 4-barrel carburetor, free-flowing heads and 11.25:1 compression to generate 340 HP and a whopping 344 lb-ft of torque. Ordering the Big Tank option also required ordering this car’s auxiliary hardtop, as the larger tank took up part of the area used to accommodate the soft top. In addition to that rare option, this potent convertible was built with RPO 686

metallic brakes, RPO 441 direct flow exhaust, Positraction rear axle, a close ratio Borg Warner 4-speed manual transmission, signal seeking pushbutton radio and 6.70-15 Whitewall tires.

Chevrolet’s second generation Sting Ray reached its apex in the final model year of 1967. Both coupe and convertible versions were the least adorned of the C3 Corvettes thanks to the removal of extra chrome trim, a clean hood design and a new side fender vent trim. Still fresh from their introduction in 1966 were the 427 CI engine and J56 Special Heavy Duty Brakes, the former now available with Tri-Power carburetion with a rating of 435 HP, and the latter a rare choice found on only 267 Corvettes built in 1967. Both these options are highlights of this gorgeous 1967 Sting Ray coupe, which has been completely restored and finished in Tuxedo Black (that model year’s rarest color) with a Red Stinger and Black interior. Fans of this vintage will appreciate the finned aluminum Kelsey-Hayes bolt on wheels, Redline tires and factory side exhaust that emphasize the car’s big block performance, in this case further augmented by F41 Special Front and Rear Suspension; factory headrests and telescopic steering column are also featured. Delivered from the factory to Benjamin Chevrolet in Brooklyn, New York, the car’s ownership history dates back to 1972 and includes one owner of 31 years. That and more

No American car even approached the grandeur of the Duesenberg Model J when it made its first public appearance at the New York Salon on December 1, 1928, an event for which trading was temporarily halted on the New York Stock Exchange. By then the company founded by Fred and August Duesenberg 15 years previous was the property of E.L. Cord, whose plan for his latest venture was to exploit the Duesenberg name and engineering expertise, their reputation already enriched with a win at the French Grand Prix and three victories in the Indianapolis 500, to produce “The World’s Finest Motor Car.” The Duesenberg J perfectly fulfilled Cord’s desire for an uncompromising luxury motor car that was also a technical tour de force. Its masterfully designed 420 CI dual-overhead-camshaft straight-8 engine was fitted with 4 valves per cylinder and produced an astounding 265 HP and 374 lb-ft of torque, enabling a second-gear speed of 90 MPH and a top speed of 116 using a 3-speed transmission. America was in the grip of the Great Depression when this 1930 Model J Torpedo Berline Convertible, engine number J-391, chassis 2315, and body 952 was completed by Walter M. Murphy

Coachbuilders of Pasadena, California as a demonstrator for Duesenberg’s Los Angeles sales branch. Originally painted in Washington Blue, it was sold to Hollywood screen writer Gene Markey, who later became a highly decorated Rear Admiral after World War II. A series of owners in the 1940s included James Talmadge (son of Buster Keaton and Norma Talmadge), who in 1952 traded the car to actor Tyrone Power for a new MG. Power owned the car until his death at the age of 44 in 1958, after which it was sold to J.B. Nethercutt and then to Bill Harrah’s Auto Museum in Reno, Nevada. It was then purchased in 1986 by Joseph Folladori of Indianapolis, who restored it and finished it in its present color scheme. In 1991 it became part of Las Vegas’ fabulous Imperial Palace

In its earlier days the car was featured in Road & Track in the November 1952 issue as Tyrone Power’s Duesenberg and was more recently immortalized by Beverly Rae Kimes in “A Duesie’s Dozen, The Ownership Ancestry of J-391” which appeared in the March 1999 issue of The Classic Car.

283/220 HP V-8, TWO OWNER CAR, BEST IN CLASS AWARD AT THE DETROIT AUTORAMA In 1958 the so-called Tri-Five Chevrolets of 1955-57 passed into the automotive history books to make way for a new line and a new top-shelf model, the Impala. A heavy duty frame gave the 1958 Chevrolet the strength to accommodate a new big block engine whose performance potential eclipsed that of the small block, but it was in its exterior styling that the new Chevy showed real flare. Quad headlights made their first appearance in the longer, lower, wider new offering, along with a broad front grille and fan-shaped rear alcoves housing bullet-style tail lights. While following the basic lines of the Bel Air and economy models, the Impala was distinguished with special styling cues
the included a more stylish roof line, a vent above the rear window, special body side trim and triple tail lights housed in slightly wider rear alcoves. It was a great debut for one of Chevrolet’s most successful models. This two owner 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible is flat out spectacular. A nut and bolt rotisserie restoration finished in Honey Beige with an NOS Tri-Tone Gold interior and power-operated White soft top, this 41,000 mile showboat has collected over 100 First Place or Best of Show awards including multiple Super Chevy prizes, ISCA National honors and a Best in Class win at the famed Detroit Autorama. The original drivetrain comprises a 283/230 HP V-8

1957 FORD THUNDERBIRD E-CODE
DUAL QUAD 312/270 HP V-8, 3-SPEED WITH OVERDRIVE, MINTER RESTORATION IN 2013 Ford already had the advantage on Chevrolet’s Corvette when it introduced the 1955 Thunderbird with 292 cubic inches of V-8 power, but its factory rating of 193 HP fell short of expectations. A 312/215 HP engine debuted the following year, but after return volleys from the folks at Chevrolet, Ford responded in 1957 with the famous E-Code Baby Bird. The E-Code took the 312 CI Thunderbird V-8 to new heights, employing modified heads, a hotter cam and an aluminum intake manifold mounting dual Holley 4-barrel carburetors to produce 270 HP. Of the 21,380 Thunderbirds produced in 1957, only 1,499 E-Code cars were sold; today, examples such as
this fabulous Amos Minter restoration – one of fewer than 150 built in this configuration – are highly sought after by lovers of the legendary first generation T-Bird. Completed in 2013 by Minter’s expert craftsmen, it sports gorgeous Raven Black paint with an equally sharp Red interior. The fresh new Black Haartz canvas top, complete with all new hardware, has never been lowered; a matching Black fiberglass hardtop is also included. Inside, the seat has been subtly repositioned for more leg room and a smaller diameter steering wheel installed. The stock factory ignition has been replaced with the electronic variety while maintaining the factory appearance, and the dual
S161 exhaust system upgraded to stainless steel. Also equipped with Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels and wide Whitewall tires, power steering, brakes and windows and a rare 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this E-Code Baby Bird has it all.

Not only did he choose one of the fiercest performance engine and driveline packages available in 1971; he wrapped it up in one of the best-looking styling exercises ever to emerge from Dr. Oldsmobile’s studio. This is an exceptionally rare example of the Force Air-equipped W-30, for it is one of only 110 convertible versions built that year and, perhaps of more significance to collectors, one of just 10 factory-fitted with air conditioning. The matching numbers 455 CI V-8 powering the W-30 is well known to Olds enthusiasts for
its uniqueness among muscle car engines, a handbuilt piece balanced and blueprinted at the factory and finished with an aluminum intake manifold with special Rochester 4-barrel carburetor and special camshaft, cylinder heads and distributor. A revised rating system pegged the W-30 engine at 300 HP while still generating the high torque figures that further set it apart from the crowd. In addition to power steering and front disc brakes, power windows and power top, there is much more to recommend this Lansing-built Rocket, most obviously its sharp Viking Blue paint with White W-30 striping and matching White power soft top, full width rear deck spoiler, dual chromed
exhaust tips and Red plastic front fender liners. Another optional extra: the rare W-27 aluminum differential housing cover.

From 1967 to 1969 Chevrolet built exactly 216 of what would become known as the Holy Grail of Corvettes, the L88. Production peaked at 116 cars in 1969, one of which is offered here in this expertly restored L88 convertible. In 1977 the car was discovered in Knoxville, Tennessee by Bryan Cooper, promoter of the Knoxville Corvette Expo for 36 years, and former Corvette dealer and noted authority Paul Kitchen, who was also credited as one of the early contributors to the classic Corvette collector’s lodestar, the Corvette Black Book by Mike Antonick. The pair took the car to Cooper’s shop, where they promptly dropped the gas tank to retrieve the all-important tank sticker that would reveal its specifications in detail. Its provenance confirmed, the car was eventually purchased in November 1987 by Joe Cheeks and David Love, partners in collector car specialists Automania in Three-Way, Tennessee where it was placed in careful storage.

1960 PORSCHE 356B 1600S ROADSTER
COACHWORK BY DRAUZ, 1600 SUPER ENGINE, 4-SPEED, PORSCHE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY Contrasting with the American auto manufacturers’ here-today, gone-tomorrow product changes, Porsche’s methodical improvement of its 356 sports car resulted in long-term class dominance. By October 1961, when this 1960 356B 1600 Super Roadster still had the new car smell, Road & Track wrote that, “the current Porsche sports car... gives a performance balance (acceleration, speed and economy) which is virtually unmatched by any other vehicle. “Porsche’s unclear platform and body type naming conventions are a source of confusion among enthusiasts. The 356A received a makeover in 1960 and was named the 356B with a new internal T5 body designation that
would last until a minor restyle that would create the 1962 356B T6. Furthermore, while Coupe and Cabriolet body styles remained constant, the stripped-down Speedster was replaced in August 1959 with a more content-rich Convertible D, which itself was renamed Roadster just a year later. Rarer than Speedsters, only 2,653 356B Roadsters were built by coachbuilder Drauz from 1960-1962, including this example carrying chassis number 88348. Featuring roll-up windows, better seats and increased headroom, Roadsters supplied the basic necessary comforts lacking in the Speedsters without the unnecessary weight of luxuries equipped on the Cabriolet. Furthermore, the improvements to
S165
engine, gearbox, and brakes made Roadsters more reliable and more enjoyable on long trips than Speedsters. The subject of a complete restoration, 88348 retains its original 1,582cc air-cooled, four cylinder horizontally opposed Super engine producing 75 horsepower, mated to its numbers matching 4-speed transmission. Though it left the factory painted 6002 Ruby Red, it now gleams in Metallic Silver. According to the accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, 88348 was also equipped with an astounding 22 factory options.

At a hefty additional price tag of $1,032.15, the L88 engine package weighed in at almost a quarter of the base Corvette price in 1969. Most people who checked the L88 option box when ordering their Corvette knew there was only one purpose for such a machine: drag racing. This L88 convertible is one of very few equipped with an factory heater, indicative that the original owner did not intend to race the car. One of just 116 built in the final year of production, this strikingly handsome 1969 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was delivered new to its first owner in Leslie, Michigan equipped with the race-prepared L88 427/430 HP big block with first-design closed chamber aluminum heads, Muncie M22 “Rock Crusher� close ratio 4-speed and 4.56 Positraction rear end, K66 transistor ignition and J56 heavy duty brakes. In addition, the owner chose Fathom Green paint with a matching Dark Green interior and a Black soft top, matching Green auxiliary hardtop, clear glass, Rally wheels and Redline tires. In the spring of 1969 the owner and his new L88 convertible embarked on a 6,000 mile round trip to Alaska (fortunately, the car had a heater). Upon his return, he sold the car to its second owner, who campaigned

1956 AUSTIN-HEALEY 100-4 BN2
PAXTON SUPERCHARGED FORD V-8 WITH GURNEY-WESLAKE HEADS, EXTENSIVE 2,000 HOUR RESTORATION Carroll Shelby’s Cobra established the viability of marrying American V-8 power with British sports car design, the same formula employed in the conversion of this 1956 Austin Healey by a Shelby engineer working at Ford Racing Division in 1967. Unlike most such transformations, this sharp roadster is outwardly stock-appearing but for its widened wire wheels and the twin dualtip side exhaust peeking out in front of the rear tires. Opening the louvered hood reveals a Paxton supercharged Ford V-8 fitted with a Holley 4-barrel and extremely rare (and expensive) Gurney-Weslake heads, the only known instance in a Healey V-8 conversion. Rated at 400 HP, it

is cooled by an aluminum radiator and an electric fan, and backed by a Ford AOD transmission and narrowed 8-inch Positraction rear end. After years in storage the car was discovered in 1994 and underwent a 2,000 hour restoration to its present configuration, which includes the 100M-style front grille and NOS 140 MPH Smiths speedometer otherwise seen only in the ultra-rare AustinHealey BN2 100S race cars. Finished in Black with Mulberry coves and a hand-stitched Mulberry leather interior, the car most recently was shown at the 2012 Greenwich Concours d’Elegance.

Described by Super Car Workshop owner and respected Yenko judge and restorer Brian Henderson as “One of the best I have examined in recent years”, this 1969 Yenko Camaro is sure to please any collector. It was assembled the second week of February 1969 in the second run of Yenko production and finished in Hugger Orange with a Black vinyl roof, D80 spoiler, the very rare VE3 body color front bumper and standard Black interior. It carries a correctly dated replacement short block with and a warranty replacement 4-speed transmission The sheet metal, interior, suspension, wheels and all Yenkospecific pieces and components are highly original except for a single repaint in the original Hugger Orange and a comprehensive detailing. Brian Henderson continues, “The high performance nature of these cars often lead to extremely abusive treatment. Yenko Camaro VIN 615020 is an exceptional example. With no body damage and the bulk of the difficult performance items still with the car, it makes it a very solid Yenko.” Adding to this car’s high value is its extensive paperwork that includes the full Super Car Workshop appraisal and a signed history by its

1969 PONTIAC FIREBIRD CONVERTIBLE RESTO MOD ALUMINUM LS3 V-8, TREMEC 5-SPEED, 1969 TRANS AM EXTERIOR STYLING Pontiac made only 8 examples of the Trans Am in convertible form in 1969, making them some of the rarest muscle cars ever right off the factory floor. So what to do when it’s time to resurrect that Firebird convertible you’ve been itching to get at? The builder of this one chose to follow Pontiac’s lead and Resto Mod the car into a modernized replica that draws on the Trans Am formula to define its design parameters. A body-off rebuild completed this year, it presents in the same combination of White with Blue stripes and accents as the original, complete with White power top, unique rear spoiler, front fender imitation side vents and hood tachometer;
even the 17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels recall the original Pontiac Rally II units, here fitted with sticky Hankook Ventus performance radials and backed with power assisted 4-wheel disc brakes. The factory Parchment interior is upgraded with the addition of a billet steering wheel on a Flaming River tilt column, 6-speaker audio and vents for the Vintage Air system. Power and handling are 21st century fresh. GM’s Corvette/Camaro based aluminum LS3 engine is the perfect choice to drop right into the Firebird’s engine bay. This powerful small block is fitted with serpentine pulleys and headers by Street Performance and silver Jet Hot coated exhaust, and backed with a hydraulic
S169 clutch, a Hurst shifted Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9-inch Positraction rear end with 3.73 gears. The Firebird’s convertible frame is reinforced with Martz front and rear chassis bracing and rack and pinion steering for improved handling, completing a well-conceived machine with classic Pontiac muscle car looks and performance.

1970 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZR1 CONVERTIBLE
LT1 350/370 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, 1 OF 25 ZR1 CORVETTES PRODUCED IN 1970, BLOOMINGTON GOLD SILVER CERTIFIED In 1970 Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov applied the lessons learned from the all-conquering L88 to the small block Corvette, resulting in the race-ready ZR1. Although formally listed as a “Special Engine Package”, the ZR1 was in reality a small block version of the L88, with identical chassis preparation, brakes, cooling and accessory deletions. Produced from 1970 to 1972, the ZR1 was powered by the mighty LT1 solid lifter small block, which was fitted with a heavy duty L88 starter and a lightweight flywheel and mated to the famous Muncie M22 “Rock Crusher” 4-speed manual transmission. J56 Heavy Duty Brakes were used, as were transistorized ignition,
a special aluminum radiator with surge tank and metal fan shroud, heavy duty springs and shock absorbers and larger diameter front and rear sway bars, all features of the L88. In keeping with its mission as a competition car, the ZR1 could not be ordered with power windows, power steering, air conditioning, a rear-window defogger, wheel covers, or a radio. Chevrolet produced just 25 examples of this ultimate small block Corvette for 1970. This absolutely stunning Classic White on Blue example is one of only a handful convertible versions equipped with that special racing package, and was ordered with tilt/telescopic steering and a 4.11 Positraction differential. The
S170
car was originally prepared and sponsored by Dick Guldstrand for SCCA solo competition for thenowner George Lynch. It was restored, then later freshened by Chuck Berge in 2011. It has twice earned Bloomington Gold Silver certification – in 2003 and 2011 – and won NCRS Top Flight honors in 2002. This very special three owner California Corvette comes with full history and documentation that includes copies of the shipping papers, ownership history and judging sheets.

1970 PORSCHE 911S COUPE
FUEL INJECTED 2.2L SIX CYLINDER ENGINE, 5-SPEED, PORSCHE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY Fifty-plus years into production, Porsche’s 911 is considered the greatest European sports car line ever. In the eyes of the Porsche community, 1970 stands as one of the best years of the breed. Fresh off the 1969 introduction of a 911 with nearly 2.5-inch longer wheelbase and wider rear wheels to improve handling, 1970 models received a 4mm bore increase, bringing the air-cooled single overhead cam flat six up to 2.2 liters. In the range-topping 911S, the Bosch fuel injected engine delivered 180 horsepower--an astonishing 1.34 horsepower per cubic inch. Driving any 1970 911 will cause one to wax poetically about precise steering, tremendous feedback, wonderful
ergonomics, ideal gear ratios and ample torque. Given the 911S’s upgraded suspension and brakes, as well as its ability to sprint to 60 MPH in just 7.3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 144 MPH, one can only describe it as one of the best pure driver’s cars. Road & Track praised the 1970 911S by eloquently portraying its worst flaw: “The S just frustrates its poor driver most of the time in everyday driving, crying to be run up to its redline through the gears...or cruised at 130-plus MPH...” Backed by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this special order-only Sepia Brown example with Russet Tan and Black interior is just one of 1,744 built for 1970 and one of less than 400 911S units to
S171
come to the U.S. market. After 20 years of storage, the consignor acquired it and sent it to marque experts RennGruppe Motorsports in Lexington for complete restoration. The original engine and transaxle were rebuilt and all suspension, exterior and interior components refurbished to return it to factory-new condition. With the 911S market getting hotter, it is a perfect opportunity to find out why there is no substitute for the right Porsche.

1968 SHELBY GT350 CONVERTIBLE
302 CI V-8, 4-SPEED, DOCUMENTED WITH THE SHELBY INVOICE AND ORDER SHEET Shelby and Ford capitalized on the success of the 1965-67 Shelby GT coupes by adding a convertible in 1968. Although there were few mechanical differences between the 1967 and 1968 GT350s, the new model received a much more aggressive front end styling treatment. Once again the modifications were rendered in fiberglass panels, including a new hood design with twin scoops at the leading edge and rear louvered vents to allow heated underhood air to escape. The rear received the same upturned rear spoiler as before and now used off-the-shelf Thunderbird tail lights with sequential turn signals. The interior was available in Black or Saddle in Deluxe Mustang
trim with a padded roll bar and a console fitted with Stewart Warner oil and amp gauges and a Cobra-embossed storage cover. Now rated at 250 HP and 310 lb-ft of torque, the GT350’s 302 CI V-8 was dressed with finned aluminum Cobra valve covers and oval air cleaner. This Acapulco Blue GT350 convertible is one of 404 built in 1968 and one of 19 produced with its particular combination of features that includes the J-code 302 CI engine and a 4-speed manual transmission. Completed with White Le Mans stripes, a White soft top and Black interior, it was originally shipped to Frontier Motor Sales, Inc. of Niagara Falls, New York on April 18, 1968
S171.1 and was equipped with power steering, power front disc brakes and Shelby 10-spoke aluminum wheels. Documented with the Shelby factory invoice and build sheet and listed in the Shelby Registry as a two owner car, it was repainted in the early 1980s and remains in splendid condition, having won awards at both regional and national SAAC events.

1986 CHEVROLET CORVETTE INDY PACE CAR
DRIVEN BY CHUCK YEAGER AT THE 1986 INDIANAPOLIS 500, ONLY 1,003 ORIGINAL MILES Practically every American is familiar with Chuck Yeager. The retired United States Air Force brigadier general flew a P51 Mustang in World War II, after which he became an Air Force test pilot, becoming the first man to break the sound barrier and a pioneer in the development of rocketpowered aircraft. Yeager’s national popularity soared in the early 1980s when he featured prominently in Tom Wolfe’s novel “The Right Stuff” and the subsequent movie in which he was portrayed by actor Sam Shepard. It reached a new peak in 1985 with the release of his autobiography and, the following year, he was chosen to drive this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette, the Official Pace Car of
the Indianapolis 500. It was an important year for Corvette, which was made available in convertible form for the first time since 1975. All Corvette convertibles sold that year were designated by Chevrolet as Pace Car replicas regardless of color or options, and all came from the factory with Pace Car decal packages for installation by the dealer or the new owner. In contrast to other years, this Yellow convertible was the one and only car used for Pace Car duties at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Serial number 72, it is one of only 732 Yellow Corvette convertibles sold in 1986. Over the years Pace Cars have typically been modified for on-track duties, but the Corvette’s track-
S173 ready suspension and available 350/230 HP fuel injected small block made upgrades unnecessary. Nonetheless, rather than being “just” a track car, it is exceptionally well-equipped with leather Sport seats including power driver’s seat, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and AM/FM stereo. Complete with a custom dash plaque, the original graphics and working safety lights, this historically significant Corvette Pace Car has been driven a mere 1003 miles and is presented in virtually new condition.

1998 LAMBORGHINI DIABLO SV MONTEREY EDITION
TWIN TURBO V-12 PUSHING 790 HP, 1 OF 20 MONTEREY EDITIONS BUILT, ONE OWNER SINCE NEW This 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV is a very special car in the Lamborghini lineage, being one of just 20 Monterey Edition models built for the U.S. market. Offered by its original owner Richard Berry, it is based on the original Diablo SV that was introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in 1995, resurrecting the Super Veloce moniker first seen on the classic Miura SV. The most notable feature of this edition was the use of the SE30/VT Roadster style of air intakes in front of the rear wheels, unlike the traditional (and persisting) SV style. Several of the cars were painted in unusual, vibrant colors. One Monterey Edition, featuring an upgraded engine and
S174
brakes, was driven by Mario Andretti during the Lamborghini-sponsored “Running of the Bulls” event in California. The Monterey was such a rare and desirable variation on the SV theme that the cars were snapped up almost immediately. As in the case of the Miura SV, the Diablo SV received a boost in overall performance, but the factory rating of 510 HP was no match for the 790 HP generated by this example’s twin turbo-equipped V-12 powerhouse.

1961 LAMBORGHINI DL25 TRACTOR
TWO CYLINDER ENGINE WITH 26 HP, DUAL REAR PTO, 1 OF APPROXIMATELY 200 PRODUCED Saying the word “Lamborghini” in any gathering of car buffs instantly evokes visions of wildly outlandish Italian supercars bristling with aerodynamic appendages and emitting searing exhaust notes. From the Countach right up to today’s Aventador, Lamborghinis have been regarded as the flashy swashbucklers of Italy’s exotic-car industry. Truth be told, it was not always so; Lamborghini was actually founded in 1948 as a company whose product was farm tractors assembled from surplus military equipment
left over from the war. His career as an aircraft mechanic completed, Ferruccio Lamborghini located his new company in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy; by the mid-Fifties, Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A. had become one of the largest agricultural equipment manufacturers in Italy. Built before the first Lamborghini sports car, this incredibly rare 1961 Lamborghini DL25 tractor is one of approximately 200 produced. It is powered by a 2 cylinder engine rated at approximately 26 HP and incorporates dual rear
S174.1 power takeoffs. Offered from the Richard Berry Collection, it will be a unique addition to any collection of vintage farm equipment or – you guessed it – Lamborghinis.

1966 SHELBY GT350 FASTBACK
S175
289/306 HP HI-PO V-8, 4-SPEED, RESTORED TO R-MODEL RACING SPECIFICATIONS While most production-based race cars are adapted from vehicles designed for street use, the Shelby GT350 was in reality a dialed-back version of what Shelby and Ford actually had in mind: a race-ready Mustang prepared to dominate B-Production competition and win the SCCA National Championship. Because the SCCA allowed special factory options for either powertrain or suspension but not both, Shelby specified suspension, brakes, steering and other components to improve handling and stopping power. As a result, the 1965 Shelby GT350 surprised some buyers who complained about its harsh ride qualities. Changes were made to the 1966
model to soften the day-to-day driving experience, but the first 252 1966 cars were actually carried over 1965 models and retained the earlier lowered front A-arms and over-rider traction bars. This 1966 GT350, serial number SFM6S316, was sold new by Arles Ford of San Rafael, California, to G.M. Freeman on March 19, 1966. It was restored by its third owner Mark Hereford and completed to full “R” racing specification. Correctly finished in Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue stripes, it incorporates a fiberglass front valence and trunk lid, racing fuel tank with quick fill cap, trunk mounted battery, R-style racing seats with shoulder harnesses and 3-inch lap belts, Plexiglas
rear and side windows, Rotunda racing mirrors, a 1965 Cobra steering wheel and American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with Goodyear Sports Car Special tires. The 289/306 HP Hi-Po V-8 engine is textbook Shelby: chromed open element air cleaner, Cobra valve covers and intake and a racing oil pan. This R-spec GT350 is ready – and just right – for action on both the track and the open road, just as Carroll Shelby intended.

Astronauts are by their very nature a breed apart, none more so than the seven pioneering men of the Mercury space program launched by NASA in 1959. Among the most famous of them was Lt. Colonel Virgil “Gus” Grissom, who on July 21, 1961, became the second American - after Alan Shepard – to travel to outer space, and in March 1965 the first NASA astronaut to repeat that monumental feat. Grissom perished with his Apollo 1 colleagues Roger Chaffee and Edward White in a launch pad fire on January 27th, 1967, their heroic efforts paving the way to the historic 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, fulfilling the goal set forth by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. Like his fellow astronauts Grissom was also adventurous on Terra Firma, and in 1967 he took delivery of this L71 427/435 HP Tri Power convertible from Jim Rathmann Chevrolet in Melbourne, Florida. Rathmann, himself an adventurer who raced in the Indianapolis 500 14 times and won in 1960, witnessed many a race at the expansive Cape Canaveral NASA complex between Grissom and Shepard, who drove an identicallyequipped Corvette. While no longer in its original color scheme, the Grissom Corvette has received an expert frameoff restoration and retains its original mechanical configuration that includes

the L71 Tri-Power engine, 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end. In addition to its Rally Red paint, White Stinger stripe and soft top and Red interior, it features a Soft Ray tinted windshield, power windows, a Teakwood steering wheel, headrests, AM/FM radio and Rally wheels with Redline tires. It has participated in several parades at Cape Kennedy where it hosted former Astronauts along with the President of the United States and, not surprisingly, has received wide magazine coverage and won more than 25 trophies, ribbons and awards, including NCRS Top Flight honors. Extensively documented, the Gus Grissom Corvette is more than a highly desirable example of the class of the mid-year field; it is a precious artifact from an historic era in 20th century American history.

ORIGINAL 427 CI V-8, 4-SPEED AND REAR END, MCACN GOLD CERTIFICATION AND FLOYD GARRETT BEST OF SHOW AWARD WINNER Bob Brody of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada had a dream: to find the 1967 Chevrolet SS 427 convertible his older brother Dennis had bought new from a Vancouver dealer. No garden-variety Chevy this, but a Canadian-built Impala SS 427 4-speed, one of only 38 built at the Oshawa, Ontario plant and believed to be one of just six convertibles. Bob subsequently owned the car for a time before selling it, but it never left his memory, and he soon began a search to reacquire it. The project failed in that respect, but it did turn up another identically optioned example, on which Brody then spent over $200,000 for a professional restoration
by local legend Gary Grant of Maple Ridge, including over $42,000 in hard-to-find NOS parts and $40,000 to replicate the factory paint. Bob was able to track down and buy the car’s original L36 427/385 HP engine from a New York State rodder, reinstalling it with the 4-speed and the original rear end. Finished in the correct combination of Madeira Maroon paint, Red interior and White top, the car was shown at the 2012 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago, where it earned 985 of 1,000 points, Gold Certification and the Floyd Garrett Best of Show. Eleven of the deductions were then corrected, and the car recently won Best in Class

In all of Corvette’s glorious history, there was never anything like the L88. It was solely intended for racing, and was so potent that Chevrolet actually actively discouraged its sale to the general public, even to the extent of understating its actual horsepower rating at 430 HP, less than the incredibly powerful L71 427/435 HP Tri-Power option; in reality, the L88’s figure approached 560 horses. The formula for the L88 engine was both simple and devastating: 4-bolt mains, forged crank, rods and pistons, 12.5:1 compression, aluminum heads with huge valves, a wild solid lifter cam and a gulping Holley 850 CFM 4-barrel double pumper on an aluminum intake. There were no creature comforts, and it had to be ordered with transistor ignition, vacuum power brakes, a special master cylinder and dual pin brake calipers, heavy duty suspension, a Muncie M22 ”Rock Crusher” 4-speed and Positraction. The original owner of this 1968 L88 coupe purchased the car at Polar Chevrolet in White Bear Lake, Minnesota specifically for the purpose of drag racing. He raced the car around the Midwest, including his home track, Minnesota Dragway, where he achieved the car’s best time of 11.78 at 120 MPH. As evidenced

2.4L V-6, 5-SPEED, FACTORY SUNROOF, PORSCHE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY After other sports car manufacturers had already thrown in the towel against stricter safety and emissions regulations, Porsche was still upping the ante for 1973. Even though its top dog this year was the limited-edition, homologation special Carrera RS, the high-performance 911S remained Porsche’s fastest normal production offering. The staggering base price of over $10,000 made the S a very rare beast in 1973--1,430 units produced with only 524 brought to the U.S. market. In its last pure year delivering thin bumper beauty and lightweight design, the 1973 911S presented a laundry list of high performance traits. The aircooled engine, enlarged to 2.4 liters for 1972,
generated 190 horsepower while also tuned to be far more tractable in traffic than in previous years. The new 915 type 5-speed transmission offered improved shifting and industrial-strength durability. On the exterior, a stylish front chin spoiler debuted to reduce front end lift by 40 percent. After being acquired in restored condition by its current owner, a Porsche collector, this 911S was brought its present condition by RennGruppe Motorsports in Lexington, North Carolina. A glance at the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity shows that this example continues to feature its achingly gorgeous special order-only blue 335 Gemini Metallic paint, factory sunroof, forged
Fuchs alloy wheels and rare optional M409 Black leatherette Sport Seats with black and white houndstooth inserts. The car also comes with the original tool kit, jack and owner’s manual. When on the show field, the new owner can be confident that it will likely be the only 1973 Gemini Metallic 911S around.

1954 JAGUAR XK120SE ROADSTER
3.4L ENGINE WITH 180 HP, 4-SPEED, LEFT HAND DRIVE, JAGUAR DAIMLER HERITAGE TRUST CERTIFICATE Decades after it first caused a sensation at the 1948 London Motor Show the Jaguar XK120 Roadster is still one of the most widely recognized automobiles in the world. The XK120 was originally conceived as a showcase vehicle for the company’s new 3.4L XK twin overhead cam inline six cylinder, which was finalized in 1948 and intended for use in the upcoming MkVIII saloon car, which was scheduled for the 1950 production year. The XK120 proved immediately popular, a bright light in dreary postwar England that shone more brightly with young racing
hero Stirling Moss at the wheel. This beautiful and highly collectible 1954 XK120SE Roadster was purchased by its first owner in Hollywood, California. Loaded with special equipment, it is powered by a matching numbers 3.4L inline six cylinder using high lift cams and twin exhausts to produce a healthy 180 HP. Restored prior to its current ownership, it has been shown at such prestigious venues as the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance in Burlingame, California. It received a comprehensive brake system overhaul completed
S180.1
in 2013 and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust.

1962 CHEVROLET IMPALA SS CONVERTIBLE
327/300 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, HIGHLY OPTIONED SUPER SPORT, SHOW WINNING 13 YEAR RESTORATION Before the concept of the muscle car crystalized in the popular automotive culture there was the “sporty full size car”, a seeming oxymoron perfectly embodied in the Chevrolet Impala SS. The 1962 version solidified the transition from the finned era to a more unified styling treatment and raised the Impala’s image, especially in the case of fully loaded examples such as this award winning SS convertible, to a status approaching the Cadillac. This lip-smacking drop-top took First Place honors at the Impala Nationals in Minnesota with a score of 962 points and was featured in Chevy Classics Magazine and City Revealed, the rewards for a 13-year restoration
using all NOS parts and featuring Chevy’s newfor-1962 327/300 HP small block V-8 and 4-speed manual transmission. Festively finished in Roman Red with a Red interior and White soft top, it first impresses with laser straight sheetmetal decorated with beautiful chrome and brightwork, spinner wheel covers and correct bias ply Whitewall tires; dual antennas, a remote driver’s mirror and fender skirts were still “must-have” accessories. The SS-grade interior delivers more sportiness with a padded dash with 7,000 RPM tach, Sport steering wheel, Strato bucket seats and console, floor shifter and pushbutton radio. There is also a full complement of power accessories – steering

Without a doubt, this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette coupe must be considered one of the rarest production Corvettes in existence. To date only two other similarly-equipped 1964 Corvettes have been documented. This factory Tuxedo Black-on-Black Sting Ray coupe was delivered new to Roy Hughes Chevrolet in Bartlesville, Oklahoma equipped with the L84 327/375 HP fuel injected small block engine with K66 transistor ignition, close ratio 4-speed manual transmission, 3.70 Positraction rear end, F40 special suspension and off road exhaust, backup lights and a pushbutton radio; significantly it is also one of 38 produced with the rare N03 36-gallon fuel tank and one of 29 fitted with J56 heavy duty brakes.

A fascinating part of the car’s history is the fact that it was stored by a previous owner for 17 years in a custom built and fitted plywood container for preservation.

1954 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE
331 CI V-8, 1 OF 2,150 BUILT, AACA NATIONAL SENIOR AWARD WINNER AND AACA MUSEUM EXPO PREMIER AWARD A direct descendent of the famed Motorama show car presented to the public in 1952, the Cadillac Eldorado was designed by GM styling chief Harley Earl, who chose the name to evoke the legendary “Lost City of Gold” and its gilded treasures. Exclusive and wildly expensive when introduced in 1953, the Eldorado was distinguished by its low stance, prominent beltline, P38-inspired tailfins and the wraparound Panorama windshield that Earl regarded as one of his most significant styling inventions. Befitting its position as the most glamorous car in America, the Eldorado convertible also came with a fiberglass “Parade boot” to seat dignitaries, as it did for
the Eisenhower inauguration. In 1954 Cadillac reduced the Eldorado’s price tag significantly by reverting to Series 62 bodies, increasing the wheelbase by 3 inches. The move was well received by Cadillac buyers, who applauded the new Eldo’s slightly more conservative style. The quality was certainly unchanged; the interior was a luxurious affair with the finest leather and fabric upholstery and the list of standard features included HydraMatic transmission, power steering, windows, seats and top, signal-seeking pre-selector radio, whitewall tires and chromed wire spoke wheels. This gorgeous Black-on-Black 1954 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is not only one of just 2,150
S183
built; it is also a multiple concours participant and award winner. Showing a believed actual 64,000 miles, it has been the reliable attentiongetter in a large high quality collection. Offered with optional factory spotlight and Autronic Eye headlight dimmer, its list of prestigious honors includes the Antique Automobile Club’s Senior National First Prize and Museum Expo Premier Award.

1957 FORD FAIRLANE 500 SUNLINER
312 CI V-8, FORD-O-MATIC TRANSMISSION, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING In 1957 Ford introduced the most dramatically restyled full sized passenger cars since the 1949 models that put the company back on the road to success. The new cars heralded Ford’s decision to snap out of its perennial number two position and displace GM as the source for all things automotive. This 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner convertible embodies all the features that put the Fairlane at the top of the sales charts, beginning with its two-tone paint combining Flame Red with Raven Black. That theme is contrasted in the luxurious Red-and-White interior, which features a power front seat, power windows, Ford Safety padded dash and sun visors, a day-

Powered by the 312 CI Thunderbird V-8 mated to a Ford-OMatic transmission and augmented with power steering and brakes, this Sunliner shines with chromed front bumper V-bar and wing guards, bright rocker moldings, a Continental spare tire kit and chromed wire wheels wearing wide Whitewall tires.

1965 SHELBY GT350SR FASTBACK
#4 OF THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY GT350SR 427 MUSTANGS BUILT BY UNIQUE PERFORMANCE As the 40th anniversary of Carroll Shelby’s history making GT350 and 427 Cobra approached, Shelby contractors Unique Performance hatched the idea to produce 40 special Continuation Series 1965 GT350SR Fastbacks. As is widely known, Unique’s pending collapse halted their production of Continuation Shelbys, but it is believed that four 40th Anniversary cars were built, and #4 in production is offered here in this spectacular Silver GT350SR Fastback. The car is unique in that it commemorates both the GT350 and the big block Cobra, the latter thanks to its 427 CI engine – not the original and heavy FE version but a Shelbytuned aluminum block 427 whose dimensions
allowed it to be dropped right in between the Mustang’s shock towers. The only one of the four examples fitted with FAST sequential electronic fuel injection, it generates a big-block-worthy 585 HP through a Tremec 5-speed to a Currie rear end with Tru-Track differential and 3.25 gears. That alone is enough to recommend the car to Shelby fans, but it also boasts incredible handling, the result of highly modified steering and suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes and performance rubber on custom Foose wheels. Special body work, Silver paint with Blue racing stripes and Shelby markings ensure its identity. The car’s Shelby DNA is also evident in the sharp Blue interior
S185 which, in addition to air conditioning and custom sound, features Shelby instrumentation, controls and carpeting and Shelby’s personal autograph on the glove box door. With just 700 miles on the odometer since its completion, this unique GT350SR is titled and registered as a 1965 Ford Mustang with the original VIN and comes with plentiful documentation.

Fred and August Duesenberg were already renowned race car and engine builders when they founded the Duesenberg Motor Company in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1913. After relocating to a larger facility in New Jersey in 1917, the Duesenbergs built a special 16-cylinder engine to propel a Land Speed Record car to an amazing 158 MPH at Daytona Beach. The following year they designed and built a Bugatti-inspired 180 CI inline-8 engine using a single overhead camshaft and three valves per cylinder, which in 1921 powered the only American car ever to win the French Grand Prix. Duesenberg racers won the Indianapolis 500 three times in a four-year period ending in 1927, by which time the company had been purchased by E.L. Cord. Cord’s plan for his new acquisition was to capitalize on the Duesenberg brand and engineering acumen to produce “The World’s Finest Motor Car.” That grand goal was realized when the new Duesenberg J was unveiled at the 1928 New York Auto Show. Bearing engine number J-255 and serial number 2276, this 1930 Duesenberg Model J was originally fashioned with Judkins Company limousine coachwork and delivered new to William Sandow. Duesenberg owner and historian Randy Ema has confirmed that by 1935 the car
202 // SATURDAY
was used by E.L. Cord’s wife before it was purchased in 1937 by John W. de Noira, whose Pacific Auto Rental in Hollywood had become a major source of rental cars for the booming movie industry. As a result, this Model J is perhaps the most filmed of any Duesenberg, having appeared in at least 14 Hollywood productions, including The Great McGinty (1940), Pocketful of Miracles (1951), Al Capone (1955), Party Girl (1958), Howard Hughes (1977), The Gangster Chronicles (1981) and City Heat (1984). In 1985 it was purchased from Pacific Auto Rental by Fred and Dave Weber, who commissioned the highly respected award-winning coachbuilder and restorer Fran Roxas of Chicago to upgrade the coachwork in the style of a Walker LaGrande Torpedo Phaeton while retaining its complete rolling chassis,
drivetrain and numbered firewall. The car has resided with a series of owners; it was also once a part of the famed Blackhawk Collection. In 2007 it became part of a noted North East collection, where it received comprehensive detail work that included replacing the Black cloth top and improving the fit of the rear windows. In the last decade it has made numerous show appearances to wide acclaim, winning the title of “Most Outstanding Open Car, 1921-1930” at the 2008 Greenwich Concours d’Elegance. A genuine American classic with a wellestablished history and outstanding provenance, this 1930 Duesenberg Model J is an exquisite machine that perfectly embodies Fred Duesenberg’s and E.L. Cord’s original concept of “The World’s Finest Motorcar.”

1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO SEVILLE COUPE
S187
365/300 HP V-8, NINE YEAR FRAME-OFF RESTORATION DOCUMENTED WITH RECEIPTS Cadillac completely redesigned the highly successful Eldorado for 1957, making it more distinguishable from its less glamorous stable mates. Once again stylists took their cues from an earlier Motorama car, in this case the 1954 Park Avenue. As in years past, the Eldorado (now available in both convertible and coupe form) boasted an exclusive rear end styling treatment. Designed by 23-year old GM newcomer Ron Hill, it featured a sloping deck finishing in a rolled lower valence, rounded rear quarters and sharp vertical fins. Chromed rear bumpers curved around toward the front, enveloping the rear wheel wells. Stretched over a 129-inch wheelbase
and weighing in at 4,810 pounds, the Eldorado carried on its tradition as a superbly equipped luxury leader with power steering and brakes, power windows and seat, top-quality interior materials and pushbutton Wonderbar radio. One of only 2,100 built from a total of 114,467 1957 Cadillacs, this Eldorado Seville coupe sold new for the then-princely sum of $6,700 dollars. It has been the subject of a no-expense-spared nine year frame-off nut and bolt restoration costing over $370,000 and documented with every receipt. Its Copper Metallic paint is complemented with a unique padded vinyl roof and a matching interior finished in correct Copper leather and fabric
upholstery. It is further garnished with brilliant chrome, stainless steel and gold anodized trim, its visuals completed by chromed Sabre wheels with wide Whitewall radial tires. Documented with the factory build sheet, this ultimate Fifties classic is powered by the optional dual inline 4-barrel 365/300 HP V-8 complete with “Batwing� air cleaner and incorporates stainless steel dual exhaust and extremely rare air conditioning.

R-CODE 427/425 HP V-8, 4-SPEED, 1 OF 92 FACTORY BUILT RACE CARS In early May of 1967 Hubert Platt took the wheel of a specially prepared new Fairlane for two days of secret testing under the watchful eye of Ford Drag Racing Coordinator Dick Brennan. The Fairlane was prepared with Goodyear 10inch slicks, 4.86 Detroit Locker rear end, 4-speed manual transmission and a scooped fiberglass hood, beneath which was Ford’s 427/425 HP R-code Medium Riser V-8. The results were as Brennan had anticipated: a best elapsed time of 11.42 seconds and a top speed of 123.79 MPH, both better than the existing records. In less than a month, Ford Drag Team racers were wasting the competition and cars like this Black R-code Fairlane hardtop
were legends in the making. One of 92 built and the only R-code Fairlane built with its combination of features, this three-owner 4-speed car was first raced in NHRA SS/A by Douglas Spring of Ticonderoga, New York under the sponsorship of local Ford dealer Ti Motors. Spring then sold the car to Phillip Tyrell, who owned it until 1997 when it was purchased by its present owner and restored to factory original configuration by Quality Restoration Services of St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada. Documentation includes a Marti Report, a letter of origin and history notarized and signed by Mr. Spring; the original bill of sale from the second to the third owner and restoration records.

1967 SHELBY GT500 FASTBACK
428/355 HP POLICE INTERCEPTOR V-8, 4-SPEED, RESTORED TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS When Ford revamped the Mustang for 1967 to accommodate its big block V-8, Carroll Shelby took the opportunity to capitalize on the development, and the mighty GT500 was born. While Mustangs were limited to a 390/320 HP engine, Shelby took his usual liberties in the horsepower department and dropped in a modified Police Interceptor 428 CI V-8, adding the 427’s cast aluminum intake manifold, dual inline Holley 600 CFM 4-barrel carburetors, Shelby finned aluminum valve covers and oval air cleaner and other touches to produce a conservative rating of 355 HP. Suspension was a fortified version of the GT package, and power steering and front disc brakes were standard.
Arguably the most striking feature of the new Shelby was its aggressive styling treatment, created with fiberglass front and rear body pieces and the distinctive deep front grille with its dual inset driving lights. Only 172 Shelby GT500s were finished in this beautifully restored example’s Candyapple Red, approximately 75 of which were 4-speed equipped. It was sold new by Burns Ford Inc. of Louisville, Kentucky, where it was delivered with White LeMans stripes, Black Deluxe interior with roll bar and inertia reel harnesses, extra cooling package and courtesy light group, fold down rear seat, a heavy duty battery and special Goodyear tires supplied by Shelby. Restored to

Fiberglass was used in the front fenders and hood, which featured no fewer than five NACA ducts for cooling and intake.

bezel.

289 CI V-8 WITH PAXTON SUPERCHARGER, AUTOMATIC, ORIGINAL INTERIOR Equipped by Hi-Performance Motors of El Segundo, California with a radio and chromed Magnum wheels, this 1966 Shelby GT350H was delivered new to Archway Motors, Inc. of Baltimore, who then prepared it for delivery to Hertz Baltimore in April 1966. After approximately 16 months with Hertz the car was shipped in September 1967 to Embry Ford, where it was purchased by its original owner, Edward T. Johnson of Milan, New Mexico. Johnson had a Paxton supercharger installed but, according to the car’s entry in the Shelby Registry, he “removed it and sold it to purchase a ring for his wife for their anniversary (thus setting a bad example
for all married owners).” In 1993 the car was purchased by Raymond Kelley of Farmington New Mexico, who repainted it and replaced the original Magnum wheels that had been stolen in 1971. It appeared in Mustang Monthly in the October 1996 issue, and was later purchased by Craig Conley of San Marcos, California, who installed a Paxton supercharger, returning the car to its earlier configuration. Among a number of other owners was Jeff Conley, Vice President of Shelby of New England. Now fully restored, this rare Shelby Rent-A-Racer retains its matching numbers drivetrain including the 289/306 HP V-8, 3-speed automatic and heavy duty rear end.
S194 It also retains the original interior, which includes the signature wood-rimmed Cobra steering wheel and 9,000 RPM Cobra tachometer and features Carroll Shelby’s autograph on the glove box door. Offered with ownership history, this GT350H has won numerous awards including Outstanding Restoration at the Boston World of Wheels.

1958 FORD FAIRLANE 500 SUNLINER
S195
332 CI V-8, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, CONTINENTAL KIT Ford introduced a restyled full size lineup in 1958, joining the rest of Detroit in offering the hottest new thing: quad headlights. This new feature was accompanied by design cues lifted directly from the new Thunderbird: a wide mesh front grille, an imitation hood scoop, oblong taillights with twin main elements and diagonal tailfins. The new Fairlane was wider, lower and longer after the Detroit fashion of the era, resulting in chic cars like this good-looking Azure Blue 1958 Fairlane 500 Skyliner convertible. This is a well-appointed example of Ford’s Sunliner convertible powered by the 332/265 HP version of the new FE series of large displacement V-8
engines, here mated to an automatic transmission. Fender skirts, a center rear deck antenna, dual chromed spotlight mirrors, rocker trim, wide Whitewalls and a Continental spare tire kit endow the car with ample Fifties-era splash. In addition to power steering and brakes, the car also boasts tinted glass, a Black soft top, Magic Aire heater and the padded dash and visors that were part of the new Ford Safety Package.

1962 CHEVROLET CORVETTE RESTO MOD
S195.1
LS3/430 HP V-8, TREMEC 6-SPEED, C4 CORVETTE DISC BRAKES The 1962 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of an era; the solid axle Vette was in its final year of production, and its reshaped ducktail styling hinted at the Sting Ray that waited in the wings. The C1 Corvette may be a thing of the past, but it certainly has not aged, as demonstrated by this creation that infuses the vintage convertible with modern performance. While the Corvette’s basic styling and trim have been retained, this goodlooking Resto Mod benefits from the application of Magnetic Red, a C5 favorite that really brings out the convertible’s sleek features. Complementing the exterior is a sharp Tan leather interior and matching Stayfast top from Al Knoch, a leader in
soft trim installations. C6-generation 17- and 18inch double-spoke wheels help give the car a gentle rake, and C4 power disc brakes ensure straight and safe stops. An LS3 Vortec V-8 feeds its 430 HP through a hydraulic clutch and smooth shifting Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission to a 3.73 Positraction third member, while a custom 2.5-inch Magnaflow exhaust system provides the rumble that lets others know that this car means business. Helping to keep the engine within operational temperatures is a Griffin aluminum radiator coupled with a thermostatically controlled electric fan keeps things cool under the hood, where a Vintage Air system and Frontrunner belt
assembly maintains cockpit comfort while also driving the engine accessories. A custom sound system and modern Sirius-equipped radio are neatly installed to provide your listening needs. This Corvette Resto Mod is completely ready to turn heads in any venue.

Ford’s racing battles with Ferrari are the stuff of legend, especially their clashes at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans, where Ford and Ferrari prototypes went head to head six years in a row. The first years could only be described as disastrous for the folks at Dearborn, until they brought Carroll Shelby and Holman-Moody into the campaign, running competing teams of GT40 racers. Shelby finally prevailed in 1966, two of his GT40 Mark IIs crossing the line in 1st and 2nd ahead of the Holman-Moody Number 5 car. After another Ford-Shelby win in 1967 the GT40 juggernaut rolled on under the banner of John Wyer Automotive and the Blue and Orange of Grady Davis’ Gulf Oil. A single Wyerprepared GT40 won consecutive races in 1968 and 1969, cementing the GT40 legend, so when it came time to offer a special edition of its GT40-inspired GT supercar, it was natural that Ford would draw on the history of the Gulf cars with the Heritage Edition, an excellent example of which is offered here. Sold new at Mullinax Ford in Orlando, Florida, it is one of only 343 Heritage Edition GTs built and is endowed with all the features that make this Ford’s ultimate supercar: an aluminum space frame with double

Always garaged in a climate controlled environment, it has been driven just 2,400 miles and comes complete with owner’s manual, books, a fitted cover and the factory number kit.

1970 PLYMOUTH CUDA CONVERTIBLE
BELIEVED TO BE ONE OF TEN PRODUCED WITH 340/275 HP V-8, 4-SPEED AND FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING Plymouth’s second generation Barracuda hit the ground running in 1970, a styling triumph in both coupe and convertible form that could be personalized to suit every motoring taste, from grocery-getter economy to pony car athleticism to full-bore Hemi-powered mayhem machine. The standard 225/145 HP Slant Six engine was just the first entry in a total of 10 engine options that included displacement figures of 318, 340, 383, 426 and 440 cubic inches. Of a total of 50,617 Barracuda and Cuda models, Plymouth built just 550 Cuda convertibles in 1970, and it is believed that fewer than 10 shared this beautifully restored example’s combination of 4-speed
manual transmission and factory air conditioning. Further recommending this Tor-Red rarity is its photo documented restoration, performed by Restorations by Julius and other skilled craftsmen at a cost of over $100,000. The work and upgrades included paint by Kenny Maisano of “Overhaulin” fame, a factory-spec rebuild of the original matching numbers 340/275 HP engine and drivetrain, a new Centerforce clutch, new rear springs and a firm-feel steering box. One of the sharpest looking cars of its era, the car is equipped with power steering and front disc brakes, a twin scooped hood with NASCAR style hold down pins, tinted windshield, bright wheel lip and belt
S197
moldings, color keyed dual outside mirrors and 3-piece Rally road wheels with Goodyear F60-15 Polyglas GT tires. This show-stopping 340 Cuda convertible is completed with a White power convertible top and a White-on-Red bucket seat interior with Rallye instruments, Solid State radio with 8-Track and center console.

1965 SHELBY COBRA CSX4112
ALUMINUM SHELBY 427 CI V-8, 4-SPEED, KROYER 8-BARREL EFI, ONE OWNER CAR SINCE NEW This one-owner 1965 Shelby Cobra was built by Finish Line Motorsports of Las Vegas, Nevada, who were licensed by Carroll Shelby in the late 1990s to build replicas of the 23 original competition 427 Cobras built between 1965 and 1967. This car is number 4 in the series of continuation Cobras. Like all CSX 4000 Cobras it benefits from upgraded materials and construction, resulting in genuine Cobra performance and improved durability. The car has a fiberglass body with aluminum doors, trunk and hood on a triangulated race chassis with side anti-intrusion bars, adjustable suspension control arms, Brembo 4-pistion front and singlepiston rear disc brakes with vented rotors. The
front and rear sway bars are adjustable and ride dampening is accomplished with Bilstein shocks and Hypercoil springs front and rear. Kroyer Racing Engines built the all-aluminum Shelby 427 CI FE engine, which incorporates a slick 8-venturi electronic fuel injection and a dry sump oiling system with 10-quart reservoir accessible by a cap on the right front fender. A remote oil filter and coolers for the engine and differential provide further protection to the drivetrain internals. Inside the Lakewood scattershield, an aluminum flywheel and Centerforce clutch assembly make the connection to a NASCAR rated 4-speed Toploader manual transmission. An onboard
S198 Halon fire extinguisher system and Fuel Safe fuel cell are welcome safety measures. PPG created the car’s special Shelby Anniversary Blue paint, which follows tradition with an overlay of White LeMans stripes, an oversized hood scoop and unique “427 Comp” fender badges. The interior is trademark Cobra fare, with Black leather buckets and carpeting, full Shelby Signature instrumentation, wood-rimmed Cobra steering wheel and 4-point racing harnesses. Test driven at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, this all-out continuation Cobra is fully documented and is listed in the Shelby Registry.

1941 WILLYS COUPE STREET ROD
468/468 HP BIG BLOCK V-8, PROFESSIONALLY BUILT, DENNIS TAYLOR BODY The design, craftsmanship and execution displayed in every inch of this 1941 Willys coupe street rod are nothing short of breathtaking. Professionally built without regard for expense, it uses a Dennis Taylor body and powder-coated frame with steel reinforcement upgrades for added strength. The custom built 468/468 HP Chevrolet big block engine is a work of art in itself, almost completely adorned with chrome and highly polished aluminum surfaces, including an aluminum radiator and custom shroud. An automatic transmission teams with a custom fabricated 9-inch rear to complete the drivetrain. Suspension is a combination of Heidts Super Ride
rack and pinion steering, polished front control arms and front and rear coilovers, and a complete Wilwood disc brake system puts a quick stop to the action. Budnik Shotgun aluminum wheels are used all around, the rear view dominated by ultra-wide Hoosier pro Street rubber. Beautifully finished in Lexus Silver Pearl Metallic paint, the exterior features a single windshield wiper, stainless steel front bumper tow hooks, door handles, body side molding and slightly tinted glass. Artful crafting is evident inside as well. Firethorn Red upholstery, carpeting and paint dominate, with Silver accents on the dash and doors. A customdesigned waterfall wraps around the seats and
S199 flows down to form the center console, a design motif that repeats inside the fully finished trunk. Appointments include a padded Budnik Shotgun steering wheel on a chromed Ididit tilt column, Lokar shifter with LED shift indicator, custom stainless “Wing� gauge cluster, air conditioning and heat and billet controls.

Plymouth restyled the Barracuda for 1967, prompting Hurst Performance Research to build a brand new Hemi Under Glass wheel standing exhibition car for the 1967 season. While the 4-speed manual transmission was still part of the setup, the decision was made to switch to fuel injection and alcohol. One of the highlights of that season was a Hot Rod-sponsored trip with Bill Shrewsberry, Connie Swingle and their exhibition cars to Mexico City, where they introduced the locals to the joys of wheelstanding prior to the running of the Mexican Formula One Grand Prix. At the end of the season Hurst decided to once again build a new car so the 1967 car could be dedicated to the show circuit. It eventually disappeared, but in the mid-1990s a young man approached Bob Riggle at an event, claiming to know its whereabouts. Riggle was skeptical, but invited the gentlemen to return with whatever documentation he had. Two months later he showed up with photographs of the car at its home in Montreal. It had fallen to neglect but there was no doubt about its authenticity. Riggle made an offer, and soon afterward was towing the remains back across the border to his shop in Arizona.
238 // SATURDAY
It took almost 8 years before he began the car’s restoration for Bill Sefton, but both Riggle and Sefton claim it was worth the wait. “There is a lot of work in this car,” says Bob, “I’m real proud of what we did on it and how we got it done.” Collector Sefton is equally pleased: “That car is beautiful, probably better looking than when Bob drove it new.”
Following the restoration, Riggle and Sefton campaigned the car at exhibition events over the next few years. The car was always well-received by the public who was beckoned by memories from the late 1960s when the cars debuted as part of Hurst’s promotional campaign. Today, this original Hurst Hemi Under Glass Barracuda exhibition wheel stander driven by Bob Riggle presents an opportunity to obtain an authentic piece of drag racing history and the chance to operate the wheel stander under the tutelage of Bob Riggle himself. In addition to its many public exhibitions with Riggle at the controls, the 1967 Hemi Under Glass was also on regular public display at the NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, California.

1 OF 16 KNOWN TO EXIST WITH 427/400 HP V-8, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING Produced on February 15, 1967 and sold new at Hudiburg Chevrolet in Midwest City, Oklahoma, this exceptionally rare 1967 Chevrolet Corvette coupe boasts both the L68 427/400 HP Tri-Power big block V-8 and factory air conditioning as well, as indicated by the front licence plate’s location on the driver’s side of the grille rather than the center. This is a seldom seen combination made even rarer by the car’s Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission and its pairing of Elkhart Blue paint with a Teal interior. Bolt-on finned aluminum wheels and side exhaust add greatly to this Corvette’s overall presentation. Possibly the only 1967 Corvette produced with this selection

1954 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ROADSTER
THE ‘ENTOMBED CORVETTE’ WITH 2,331 ORIGINAL MILES, BLOOMINGTON GOLD SPECIAL COLLECTION This 1954 Chevrolet Corvette roadster is the famous “Entombed” Corvette removed from a brick vault inside a Brunswick, Maine grocery store once owned by local businessman Richard Sampson. A successful and somewhat eccentric man who built a chain of 33 grocery stores, ran for governor and served as a Senator from Maine, Sampson bought the car new in 1954 and drove it until 1959, when he took it to the construction site of a new store in Brunswick and had workmen enclose it in a brickand-mortar vault. He originally left orders in his will that the car remain sealed in brick until the year 2000, but later voided the will before he passed away in 1969. The car first came to the public’s notice
when automotive writer Ken Gross wrote about it in Special Interest Autos Magazine, thinking he would have to wait 25 years to tell the rest of the story. But in 1982 the building was purchased by Brunswick auto dealer Frank Goodwin with the proviso that the car be removed by the expiry of the existing lease in 1986. When the time arrived, the Corvette was liberated once again by Sampson’s daughter Cynthia, who watched as workers removed the outside wall brick by brick. Although the moisture in its enclosure had caused the car’s Polo White paint to yellow and blister over time, the tires still held air and the chrome, top and interior were still in remarkably good condition. Cynthia Sampson then
S202.1
moved the car, by then a celebrity in the Corvette community, to her home in Daytona Beach, Florida, where it remained in her living room for the next ten years until its purchase by a Corvette collector who pledged to preserve it rather than restore it. In 1996 the car made its first appearance in the Bloomington Gold Special Collection in Springfield, Illinois, where it was displayed in honor of Richard Sampson, Sr. with Cynthia Sampson in attendance. Today this amazing piece of Corvette history remains probably the lowest mileage unrestored Corvette in the world, still with the 2,331 miles that were on the odometer when it finally again saw daylight 27 years after its entombment.

1996 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GRAND SPORT
GREENWOOD BODY KIT, DOUG RIPPIE-BUILT 383 CI STROKER, DUBBED “THE GRANDEST SPORT” BY PURIFOY CHEVROLET Two of the most successful Corvette tuners in the country - John Greenwood and Doug Rippie Motorsports - joined forces with Denver Corvette dealer Purifoy Chevrolet on this 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport to produce what Purifoy has dubbed “The Grandest Sport.” One of Colorado’s most respected Corvette dealers, Purifoy used the last of just 3 body kits created by Greenwood for the C4 Grand Sport-based Greenwood G-350 and G-500 series. Under the hood the Grand Sport’s LT4 350/330 HP engine was replaced with a Rippie-built 383 CI stroker with custom tuned exhaust for increased horsepower. The car retains its Admiral Blue paint with White stripes and Red
S203
leather interior while adding the Greenwood kit comprising aerodynamic lower body pieces, larger front fender vents, front and rear spoilers and a rear diffuser. Fiske forged wheels and Michelin tires complement the car’s Rippie-tuned suspension. Offered from the original owner Richard Berry’s private collection, this Grand Sport is entirely unique, street-legal, eminently drivable and ready to dish up exhilarating all-around performance.
