1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible - Collector Car For Sale

Description:

It''s summertime and there''s just no better way to enjoy the warm sunny weather than from behind the wheel of a drop-top vintage Cadillac. Having owned a ragtop Caddy myself for many years I spent more time driving that car for the sheer fun of it than I have commuting to work in my current machine. When the road is open that big Cadillac V8 whispering away under the hood pulling you along on an endless mountain of torque people turn to watch you drive past and well life just doesn''t get any better. With that Best of Show brings you this pretty 1968 Cadillac DeVille convertible. With just 42659 original miles it is a well-sorted combination of original bits and restored pieces that drives wonderfully today. Years ago it was purchased as a wedding gift for the owner''s wife and he presented it to her just outside the chapel and they used it on their honeymoon. It has had just three owners in the past 42 years the most recent of whom purchased it in the early 2000s from a private collector. It was repainted in the original Chestnut Brown a few years ago and I doubt the original firemist paint system Cadillac was using in ''68 looked as good as the 2-stage urethane now on the car. And in case you haven''t noticed this deep rich heavy metallic root beer color is making a BIG comeback so don''t be afraid of it. Chip Foose just put it on one of his recent award winning rods for Pete''s sake! Those long quarter panels look decent despite their vast expanses of sheet metal. The folding top emphasizes the long low sleek look of the 1968 Cadillacs an evolution of the earlier design that was very much in step with the times. Panel gaps are good and the doors open and shut with a solid feeling you can only get from a big body-on-frame luxury car. In short everything fits together the way a Cadillac should. Much of the chrome has been recently restored and re-plated including the bumpers. The rest is excellent original equipment including the rub strips along the sides and the stainless window surrounds. The unique two-tone taillight lenses are beautiful and check out the cool turn signal indicator lights built into the tops of the front fenders with their own little pieces of chrome trim highlighting them. The DeVille script on the quarters and Cadillac script on the trunk are in great condition with none of the broken tabs that happen when cars get driven through automatic car washes. 1968 was the first year for Cadillac''s all-new 427 cubic inch V8. Designed to meet the new government emission standards that took effect that year it was extensively tested in the laboratory being run the equivalent of 500000 miles. With just a fraction as many miles on this one it has never been opened or rebuilt and runs the way a muscle-bound Cadillac should run. It isn''t the sterile electric-motor hum that modern luxury cars have but a subdued rumble of an idle that lets you know that the 375 horses under the hood aren''t exactly sleeping. The engine compartment is reasonably clean just what you''d expect from an original car with under 45000 miles. Service items are new of course and there''s evidence that this car has been driven and enjoyed but not abused or neglected. This one also has factory A/C that''s fully functional and overall it drives extremely well. Behind the engine lives GM''s durable TH400 3-speed automatic transmission driving a specially balanced driveshaft and 2.94 gears out back for easy highway cruising. That big torquey V8 makes plenty of power to move this car with real authority despite the tall gears and you don''t want a high-strung Cadillac anyway. The rest of the chassis is basic Cadillac stuff that has been maintained over the years. Out back there are some Monroe air shocks to help keep things level no matter the load which is exactly the setup I had in my Eldorado and I loved it. Six people and their luggage? No bumper-dragging over-loaded worries just Cadillac elegance and a smooth ride. This big cruiser rides on a brand new set of 235/75/15 Yokohama Avid Touring tires with 3/4-inch whitewalls and absolutely beautiful full-wheel Cadillac hubcaps. A lot of money was spent recently on the white leather interior and it looks excellent all around. The back seat is still the original hides nice with a patina to it that no restorer could ever duplicate. Up front that''s all-new leather that''s glove-soft and just tempts you to sit down for a cruise. The door panels are new while the carpets and dash are beautiful original equipment. The gauges all work properly and I really like the key in the dashboard-I''m pretty sure 1968 was the last year for that feature in GM vehicles. There''s a rear speaker for the radio between the rear seats covered by a cool chrome grille too. Overhead the white convertible top was installed in 2009 at a cost of over $3000 including the new glass rear window. Topping it all off is a new white vinyl convertible top boot that looks killer when the top is down. Spend this summer in the first class seats of this 1968 Cadillac convertible. It isn''t a show winner it isn''t uber-rare and it isn''t an investment that will skyrocket in value next year. What it is however is a beautiful eye-catching comfortable powerful luxury car that will do everything you ask it to do and be cheap to acquire and maintain and will hold its value while you enjoy it. Imagine yourself winding down a quiet country road in this beauty the exhaust a distant murmur stars overhead. Park it somewhere and people will come over and admire it and ask you about it and you can point out all the cool features. When you leave you''ll look forward to the drive home and you will have made a bunch of new friends. Isn''t that what this hobby is all about?

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 - Muscle Car For Sale

Description:

This 1970 Chevelle SS396 is a VERY big deal. 22000 original miles matching numbers throughout original 4-speed original interior and fully documented. Best of all it is a true two-owner car with the original title. Do I have your attention? Good. Now read all this carefully because this car is not going to be here long I can guarantee that so you''ll have to move fast. Have you seen how quickly some of our other Chevelles have sold and they weren''t even in the same league as this car! This car was built in Canada for sale in the US and was original sold through Bookwater Motor Sales in Stanton Michigan. According to the documentation provided by GM of Canada this car is one of only 1750 Canadian-built cars with the ZL2 option. In addition to the ZL2 it was equipped with the following: 771 Saddle interior19Black paintA51Front bucket seatsB22Door trim pad emblemB96Wheel opening moldingD88White body stripingF41Firm ride suspensionG943.31 rear axle ratioJL2Front disc brakesJ50Power brakesL34396 cubic inch V8 350 horsepowerM204-speed manual transmissionPL4F70-14 white letter tiresU63Pushbutton AM radioU76Windshield antennaZL2Special ducted hood-air induction systemZ25Super Sport 396 package The car was repainted three years ago in the original black and looks spectacular. Beautifully rubbed and buffed to a mirror-like shine this car is much much nicer than it was originally and there''s every indication that this was a high-quality job. None of the original body panels were removed and alignment is factory accurate throughout. I know this car was immaculately maintained because there is one edge on the hood where a little too much polishing and rubbing has created a thin spot but you can''t blame a guy who loves his car too much. The white stripes were not reinstalled for a sinister brutal look that I find incredibly appealing-a car like this doesn''t need dressing up with flashy stripes. However if you want the white stripes added to the car our award winning restoration shop can do the job quickly. Look again at the photos and check the reflections in the paint for yourself; this is one straight clean car. The floors are 100% original and unblemished the quarters have never seen rust and the cowl induction system is intact and functional. The front and rear bumpers are extremely nice-I don''t know if they''re original or rechromed but there are no dimples or parking lot dings and they shine like new. The badges used throughout the car are most certainly original pieces and look like they just popped out of the factory molds. The stainless is 100% original and untarnished with just the slightest traces of patina. All the glass is original stuff with proper date codes and markings while the lenses and other plastic bits and pieces are as new. Powering this black Chevelle is the original matching-numbers 396 cubic inch L34 396. Making 350 horsepower and topped by the original 4-barrel carburetor it has recently been detailed to a very high level and is ready to show or drive. The recent work includes a rebuilt master cylinder new Delco Remy power brake booster new plugs and plug wires (correct 3Q69 date code) new hoses with appropriate tower clamps a new coil and distributor cap and finally a beautiful set of GM exhaust manifolds. That''s the original cowl induction system on there original radiator original overflow bottle original alternator and just to make it complete a fresh Delco tar top battery to light the fires. The Chevy Orange paint on the block was touched up and the original chrome valve covers were polished and reinstalled. But you can rest assured that the engine has never been opened and that those are all factory gaskets holding it together. Underneath is just as nice. As I mentioned those are 100% original sheet metal floors. Like the engine the chassis features a bunch of new pieces including new spiral shocks in back new GM leaf springs new lower control arm bushings new inner and outer tie rods and new A-arm bushings for a like-new ride. The fuel tank was removed flushed and cleaned then reinstalled with a new sending unit and hoses and all the fluids are fresh. There''s a fresh alignment up front and new brake shoes out back installed by Best of Show Automotive just a few days ago. There are five new Firestone Wide Oval tires mounted on original Super Sport rims for a completely authentic look. We also have a correct exhaust system on order that will be installed in place of the current glasspacks to finish out this spectacularly original piece. Inside is a gorgeous all-original saddle interior and I like it much much better than the more familiar white vinyl that you so often see in Chevelles. Starting at the bottom the original carpets are outstanding protected for years under carpeted floor mats. There''s no console and there''s a Hurst shifter poking out of the floor in the original location. The original bucket seats are in outstanding condition with only a bit of stretching visible on the driver''s seat but no splits or tears in the materials. The original dash shows no signs of UV damage or cracking and the radio is 100% functional. Overhead there are seat belts tucked into their clips with a tight-fitting headliner in matching saddle tan. The gauges are crystal clear with the odometer showing 22178 original miles and the steering wheel is just like it was the first time the lucky original owner grasped it before lighting up the tires on his way home. In the trunk you''ll find a newer mat and spare tire cover along with the original jack and lug wrench. Documentation includes a significant pile of information from GM of Canada regarding this car including a build sheet breakdown and a 1970 Chevelle general information booklet. We also have the original order form showing a sticker price of $3525.00 and a down payment of $1225.00 leaving the balance to be financed over 35 months at $75.00/month. Don''t you just wish you could go back in time and pick up a gorgeous 1970 Chevelle SS396 for $75/month? We also have original keys owner''s manual pre-delivery service and adjustment check sheet title and warranty information with the original Protect-O-Plate in place. Compared to all the kit Chevelles out there this one stands alone. Someone kept it preserved and protected for 40 years and drove it less than 550 miles a year-now THAT''s restraint! Today it is one of the finest Chevelle SS396 coupes we''ve ever presented highly original and authentic in many ways and a thrill to drive and show. All it is looking for today is another enthusiastic owner who will keep it safe for another 40 years exercising it appropriately of course. If you''re one of the growing number of hobbyists who cherish originality and authenticity above restored flash this is your car. Come and get it because at this price I guarantee a 4-speed black over saddle SS396 won''t be here for long.

1994 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 - Muscle Car For Sale

Description:

With 32 valves and four camshafts whirring away on top of a stout aluminum block V8 the LT5 engine in the ZR-1 Corvette was an engineering tour-de-force for GM in the late ''80s and early ''90s. It featured dual intake runners with butterfly valves that both bolstered low-end torque production and excelled in high-RPM breathing (these butterfly valves are also what allowed the ZR-1 to feature a valet key that reduced horsepower on demand). The engine was stuffed into a heavily revised Corvette C4 chassis featuring the widest tires available at the time: 315/35/17 Goodyear Gatorbacks stuffed under fenders that were specially widened just for the ZR-1. This gave the car a look all its own even if some critics argued that it was too subtle given the car''s $31000+ premium. The net effect of this was a car that at the time was pretty much the baddest hombre on the block. There were some that were faster some that were more exclusive but absolutely none could touch the ZR-1''s combination of power handling and price. ZR-1 enthusiasts rallied around the slogan Life begins at 180 referencing the car''s top speed and even today these incredible machines occupy a special place in Corvette history. While modern technology has placed even a standard 2010 Corvette''s horsepower above the ZR-1''s 405 (which was HUGE in the early ''90s) these cars still generate strong feelings. My own personal experience comes from being involved with a team who built a whole fleet of highly modified ZR-1s from lightweight street fighters to twin-turbocharged terrors designed to break records. Make no mistake these are special cars even if performance has edged past them in the past 15 years. This gorgeous black-on-black 1994 ZR-1 has 4420 miles from new which translates to just over 275 miles per year. Its original owner was heavyweight champion boxer Riddick Bowe and since day one it has been lovingly preserved and protected in climate controlled facilities. Black looks extremely menacing on these C4 Corvettes especially the wide-body ZR-1s and the paint on this car is in excellent condition throughout. As $70000 supercars paint quality on the ZR-1s was better than average and by 1994 after 10 years of manufacturing this body style the guys on the assembly line were pretty darned good at their jobs. Panel gaps are good the giant clamshell hood opens and closes easily and the wide ZR-1 exclusive tail panel fits well. This car is equipped with the roof package (A $950 option) along with a bronze-tinted roof panel that looks black until you get inside and look up. There''s not much brightwork to speak of on a car like this but the ZR-1 badges on the flanks and tail are excellent and a previous owner has added lettering to highlight the CORVETTE emblazoned across the rear panel between the taillights. The ZR-1 was the only Corvette to retain the CHMSL on top of the hatch glass throughout its lifetime and the glass pieces on this car are original and virtually flawless. Under the hood beats the heart of the beast and what a heart it is. Lotus did the engineering while Mercury Marine in Oklahoma took care of manufacturing (owing to their extensive experience in casting and machining aluminum) and the end result looks like industrial sculpture. The 16 intake runners in that unique intake manifold the trick aluminum cam covers emblazoned with the CORVETTE logo all of it made sure that you knew you were getting something special for your extra $31258.00 over the price of a base Corvette. This engine is highly original and well detailed and like the rest of the car shows signs of being coddled and protected. The aluminum bits are still shiny and clean painted parts are bright and everything works properly. These engines are incredibly reliable and durable and this one has been properly maintained since it was new ensuring a long life of happy motoring ahead of it. The LT5 also featured distributorless ignition one of the first applications of the technology as well as ASR which stands for Automatic Slip Regulation an early form of traction control that can be very useful when trying to launch your 405-horsepower ZR-1 in the rain. All the factory markings and decals are still in place making this car an excellent contender in a preservation class at any Corvette show in the country. The only transmission available in the ZR-1 was the durable and great-shifting ZF 6-speed manual. Yes it features the dreaded CAGS (Computer Assisted Gear Selection) which thoughtfully guides the shifter from first to fourth gear under light throttle but there are plugs out there you can install to defeat it or just squeeze the throttle a little harder right before you shift. Regardless this is one sweet-shifting gearbox that encourages you to run that 4-cam motor up to redline in every gear and grab downshifts when you go through tunnels just to hear the sonorous exhaust note. The ZR-1 also came standard with the selective ride and handling suspension (FE3) which features a 3-position switch on the center console to fine-tune the shocks and the system is fully functional on this car. Wheels are gorgeous chrome plated A-mold ZR-1 wheels wearing brand new 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear Firestone radials. Climb over the C4''s wide door sills and you''ll find yourself in one of the most high-tech driving environments available in 1994. The dashboard was a mixture of analog and digital gauges and there are dozens of buttons and switches positioned all around you. If you''re a techno-savvy kind of person this is like heaven. The power leather seats are incredibly comfortable for long hauls or sprinting around a race track at an open track session and the steering wheel feels right in your hands. Bang the 6-speed through the gears watch the unique digital speedometer start skipping digits as you accelerate and feel the wind whipping through your hair with the lift-off roof panel removed. The leather is in good condition overall with an easy lived-in look about it and the door panels and carpets are almost like new. The dashboard is fully functional with no cracks or fading from exposure to the sun and the trunk compartment shows no UV damage as is so common on cars that live outside. Fortunately the documentation on this car is considerable. First there''s title documentation back to the original owner Riddick Bowe. There''s also a copy of the original window sticker build sheet and all the original manuals. The owner has also compiled a large binder full of useful ZR-1 information including service tools part numbers and other technical data. There are also purchase documents and a CarFAX report on this car. In my personal and professional opinion ZR-1 prices will only go up from here. The cars are really coming into their own as long-term investments now that their place in Corvette history is secure. There are only a few truly exceptional low-mileage examples out there since most of these cars were purchased by enthusiasts who like to drive their cars. If you''re a celebrity fan this is a chance to own a celebrity car but more importantly a fully loaded ZR-1 in a killer color combination. This one is investment quality throughout and if you haven''t driven a ZR-1 before you''re missing out on an incredible experience. Like I said I have a real fondness for these cars and it isn''t because they are slow. ZR-1 means respect in any language and the new 2010 ZR1 only reinforces this car''s specialness.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air - Collector Car For Sale

Description:

If there’s a nicer 1957 Chevy in the world than this one, I’d like to see it. Black on black with a bright red interior, this ’57 convertible is so perfect, some guys from NASA were here using it to calibrate their instruments. Throw in the ultra rare dual quad 283 and you’ve got the ultimate ’57 Chevy! Holy cow, this is one spectacular car! Restored not too long ago, and perfectly preserved ever since (you’ll note that the brake and throttle pedals are wrapped in plastic), this car is poised to take top honors at just about any show you care to attend. The color combination is authentic, the engine is a real dual quad 283, and the interior is like a work of art. If you don’t stop and stare at this car when you see it, then I’m going to have to ask you to turn in your car guy card at the door on your way out. Is it authentic? Absolutely. According to the VIN tag, this is an original V8 car built in St. Louis. Backing that up is the cowl tag listing code 793 paint (Onyx Black) with code 683 interior (silver and red imitation leather), as well as accessories such as EZI (tinted windows) and WS (power seats and windows). The engine is a correct “FD” code 283 with dual quads attached to a Powerglide automatic. The first thing you notice when you approach this Bel Air is the astounding black bodywork. It’s no secret that when you paint a car black, it HAS to be perfect. Gaps, panel alignment, waves, repairs, everything must be done to the highest level if you’re going to get the best results. On this car, there’s no doubt that hundreds of hours were spent tweaking, sanding, adjusting, and massaging all the sheet metal into place before any paint was applied. The paint is 2-stage base/clear for an incredibly deep shine that looks like you could swim in it, and there are no signs that this car has ever had anything more abrasive than a gentle breeze rubbed against it. Open the doors and note that the door jambs have been wet sanded and buffed like the rest of the body, and that they open and close with well-oiled precision. The hood and decklid fit extremely well, too. In short, this is just about as nice as cars can get, and if you are restoring a ’57 Chevy, this is now the standard you’ll need to meet. Restoring the chrome on this car must have cost as much as a new Mercedes. Not only is there a lot of metal that has been polished, sanded, buffed, and plated, but it was done to exceptional standards. There are no waves, no dimples, no signs of corrosion or pitting, just flat, smooth pieces that look better today than they did the moment this ragtop rolled off the assembly line (even NOS chrome wouldn’t look remotely this good). The anodized panels are excellent, and the gold trim pieces such as the trim on the decklid and continental kit, as well as the grille, has been similarly restored to outstanding, better-than-new condition. All the Bel Air specific pieces are present, and the stainless has been buffed and polished to the point where it is indistinguishable from chrome. If you’re going to park this car in the sun, be sure you’re wearing sunglasses! After seeing that body, you know the engine bay is going to be a treat, and it is. Packing dual four barrel carburetors under a correct and incredibly rare “batwing” air cleaner, the 283 cubic inch V8 in this Bel Air has been fully dressed for show. The block and heads have been painted the correct shade of Chevy Orange, while the intake is natural aluminum. The valve covers are also painted, and have the correct silver-painted “Chevrolet” lettering (not black as many believe). Easy stuff like the belts and hoses are authentic right down to the spring clamps, and you’ll notice that this car has power brakes with the correct master cylinder and vacuum reservoir canister on the driver’s side inner fender. The generator has the power steering pump integrated into it as original, and even the spark plug wires feature the correct red plug boots, which is correct only on 1957 cars featuring the dual quad or fuel injected engines. The radiator is just too nice, with paint that’s almost as smooth as the exterior bodywork, but perfection is perfection, and it is topped with a correct cap. The correct tar top Delco battery is in its tray, and correct bare cast iron exhaust manifolds feed the true dual exhaust system underneath. When you enter this car in a show, make sure you call ahead and tell them how to spell your name on the trophy. The chassis is exceptionally detailed as well. The frame is the correct semi-gloss black, the floors are red oxide primer, and if it was originally bare metal, it is bare metal on this car—no painted “simulation” of original, but 100% as it was. This includes the steering box and linkage, the transmission housing, and a lot of nuts and bolts and fasteners that are absolutely correct. The exhaust system is new and correct with the proper mufflers, and you’ll note that the driveshaft features accurately reproduced stripes and markings. The rear end features the correct satin black housing with red oxide primer on the center section. A new gas tank hangs out back, feeding the powerful engine under the hood using fresh lines and hoses. Correct spiral shocks keep the suspension under control, and the rear leaf springs have been restored. Finally, this gorgeous car rides on a set of correct 14-inch steel wheels with Bel Air wheel covers and 7.50-14 BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewall tires. The red and silver imitation leather interior is really what sets this car apart. The black and red contrast is one of the most spectacular combinations, and every time we get a car in this combination, it sells almost immediately. On this one, the restoration work was expertly done and it is show-quality throughout. The materials are authentic and correct, in the correct patterns. The door panels are gorgeous silver and red affairs that are simple and elegant, with power window switches housed above the door handle. The power front bench seat is covered in more red and silver elegance, with the silver portions being the correct textured material. The black carpets and floor mats are new and correct, and as I mentioned, the brake and accelerator pedals have never seen the bottom of a shoe. Fresh matching red paint covers the dashboard, which also features a textured metal insert and Bel Air script next to the ticking clock. I don’t know if the steering wheel is a reproduction or restored original, but it is flat-out beautiful, especially with the chrome horn ring and simple Chevrolet emblem in the center. The gauges have all been fully restored, and it shows just 82 miles since the restoration was completed. Overhead is one of the best-fitting convertible tops I’ve ever seen, and I’m wagering that our photo shoot was the first time it has ever been folded (don’t worry, we took extra precautions to protect the wrinkle-free plastic rear window). A matching red vinyl boot covers the top stack when it is folded, giving the car a sporty, finished look. Out back, the trunk is fully restored with a correct mat, jack assembly, and other tools, while the spare tire itself has been relocated to the continental kit out back. You’ll also note the power antenna back there. This is what we call a blue chip investment car. Despite their relatively high production numbers, the extraordinary popularity of the 1957 Chevy will insure that demand always outstrips supply, keeping prices high. The very best cars, rare ones like this heavily optioned Bel Air convertible with the dual quad 283, will remain at the top of the heap, and for good reason. They’re beautiful, fast, comfortable, and everyone has a story or a happy memory about one. That explains their extraordinary popularity, and why people will go to such amazing lengths to restore them to absolute perfection. Fully researched, restored to concours-winning standards, and ready to enjoy today, this Bel Air convertible is a can’t-lose proposition. The last ’57 convertible we had, a gorgeous turquoise Bel Air, sold for a big number, and this one is even nicer and features the rare dual quad engine as standard equipment. If you’re looking for a no-excuses ’57 convertible with a ton of accessories and big horsepower, this is the one you need.

1987 Buick Regal - Classic Car For Sale

Description:

Here at Best of Show, we specialize in the unusual, the unique, and the one-of-a-kind. Personally, I love the oddball cars, vehicles that should never have been built but someone worked the system in such a way as to get exactly what they wanted. We’ve seen such cars as a 429 Torino convertible with a 4-speed, a Hemi-powered Challenger SE, and several one-off color combinations that were all fully documented as authentic. I love them all. This low-mileage 1987 Buick Regal Limited T-Type is this week’s contender for our “so strange it’s cool” contest. Yes, it’s a Regal Limited like your folks used to own, complete with puffy seats, column shifter, stand-up hood ornament, padded landau roof, opera lights, and a big chrome grille. But underneath, it’s a fire-breathing, turbo-fed killer that is usually dressed all in black. It is loaded with virtually every single option Buick could throw at a Regal, and the only thing keeping it from being the ultimate sleeper are the T-Type alloy wheels and hood bulge advertising the 3.8 litre SFI engine under the hood. It’s rare, too, with only 1035 being built in 1987 (for comparison’s sake, there were more than 20,000 Grand Nationals built this same year). First off, I love the color on this car, brilliantly named “dark red” by Buick’s uber-creative design staff. Lame name aside, it’s deep and rich and luxurious, perfect on a stealthy Q-ship like this one and appropriate for a luxury car. With just 6792 miles on it, I can say with a high degree of confidence that this is all original sheet metal and paint on this Buick, and the quality is surprisingly good. All the panels fit together just like they did when it was delivered to its first owner, not perfect but not terrible, and those long, long doors for which GM was well known open and close easily. The Limited included body side moldings, chrome rocker panel trim, wheel lip moldings, as well as chrome bumpers and that giant chrome grille up front, all of which were painted black on the more well-known Grand Nationals. The landau padded half-roof only adds to this car’s wild appeal, separated from the painted front portion of the roof by a brushed stainless steel band. All the trim is in excellent condition, with no dings or rust, and the glass is as original. Setting this car apart from its more garden-variety brothers and sisters is the 3.8 liter turbocharged V6 living under the hood. Identical to the engine in the Grand National (and later the 20th Anniversary Trans Am), it cranks out a vastly under-rated 245 horsepower and 355 pounds of torque. This is NOT what you expect from a car with a padded roof and a column shifter. The engine bay is clean and 100% OEM throughout—no modifications or aftermarket parts on this Buick, just a straight-from-the-factory look. It runs like new, breathing through the turbo and intercooler setup that was standard on all turbo Buicks in 1987. Out back, true dual exhaust provides a throaty sound and I like the subtlety of the black painted tailpipes. While this car is all about chrome and flash, I like that they tried to downplay the car’s performance potential. The rest of the drive train is standard Buick Grand National equipment. The 4-speed automatic transmission feeds a 3.42 rear gear with limited slip, making this blown Buick easy to launch and a potent highway cruiser. The undercarriage is clean and very original, and I’d wager that those are still factory-issue brake pads and shoes at all four corners. Rolling stock consists of 15-inch alloy wheels wearing 235/60/15 performance radials which are just about the only visual clue that this car is anything special. If this were my car, I think I might seek out a set of steel wheels with some OEM wire wheelcovers, slap on a set of drag radials, then go out and break some Corvette drivers’ hearts. But that’s just me. Inside you’re treated to the full lux experience, Buick style. The overstuffed front seats feature tan leather and tufted pillow tops, not the sporty buckets found in the Grand Nationals. How cool is that? The leather is in excellent condition little sign of wear or age, appropriate to this car’s low mileage. There’s a sporty T-Type steering wheel, wrapped in more tan leather, and a big chrome column shifter for the transmission. The gauges are straight out of the ‘80s, with digital displays and other high-tech features that became dated almost immediately. As I mentioned, this car is loaded with just about every option you could order, from cruise control and interval wipers on a single stalk, to the AM/FM/cassette stereo with Concert Sound and an equalizer, to the twilight sentinel that automatically turns your headlights on and off. Someone at some point installed a sunroof, which is a nice addition for summertime cruising (the only kind this car has ever done). There’s factory A/C, power windows, and power locks of course, along with a center console with some extra storage. Carpets are excellent and the headliner is factory fresh. Talk about an iron fist in a silk glove! Documentation is pretty good, including a copy of the original window sticker with a bottom line price of $18,730. That was some serious scratch in 1987, especially when the base price of the car was $12,303—the options alone added more than 50% to the price of the car! We also have the original owner’s manual, stereo listening manual (yes, that’s what they called it), warranty, and maintenance schedule. We also have receipts for the rustproofing and sunroof, both of which were done after the car was purchased. And finally, there’s a clean CarFAX. To be honest, I think I would much rather have this car than a Grand National. First, the Grand Nationals, while very cool, are also pretty common. They were special when they were new and everyone put them away, so they’re out there. Second, nobody’s going to believe this one when they see it, it’s just too unusual. And third, the black Grand Nationals are incredibly badass, while this one is virtually invisible—perfect if you’re into walking softly and carrying a big stick like I am. Loaded with options and dressed like a luxo-barge, this is the coolest sleeper I’ve seen in a long time. And the price can’t be beat—20 times rarer than a Grand National, just as fast, with options you couldn’t get on the GN, all for less money? Where do I sign? If you’re into the unusual and the rare like I am, this is your car.

1941 Packard Clipper - Classic Car For Sale

Description:

Make no mistake, the 1941 Packard Clipper is a groundbreaking car. Packard, as a company, was steeped in tradition and viewed styling only as an offshoot of engineering. They weren’t fools at Packard, they knew what their clientele wanted: conservative, traditional styling that didn’t raise any eyebrows. But in the late ‘30s, when their highest sales year was followed by their lowest, they knew something had to be done. Glancing across the street at the hardware coming out of the studios at General Motors, they knew that traditional styling wasn’t going to carry the company through the coming decade. The result was the 1941 Packard Clipper. Based on the trim and modern Packard 120 chassis, it was a breakthrough design with a full envelope body featuring steeply raked front and rear windows and long fenders that extended into the front doors. The man largely responsible was Howard “Dutch” Darrin, whose sporty roadster bodies had been adorning Packard chassis for years. His signature is evident throughout the Clipper, and even though it is not exactly what he envisioned (in fact, he was flat-out disgusted by Packard’s meddling with his design), nobody can argue that it isn’t a gorgeous car. This 1941 Clipper has been restored as needed over the years, and is in very presentable condition today. It is an excellent driver with an absolutely gorgeous interior, and I’ll be honest with you: I like this car so much, I’m considering buying it for myself. Bias and disclaimers aside, this really is a handsome car. Darrin’s styling is flat-out gorgeous, and it looks as good today as it did when it hit the market seventy years ago. The traditional Packard grille up front is like a ship’s prow cutting through the air, and the rest of the car is a streamlined art-deco envelope of curves and graceful shapes. The color is called Saratoga Beige, and while it’s not exactly eye-popping, it is authentic and correct for the 1941 Clipper. The bodywork is average, and was clearly done many years ago—a quality repaint would make this car absolutely heart-stopping. On the other hand, this is a car that you can drive without worries, and that’s exactly what appeals to me. This is a Packard you can get in, turn the key, and drive anywhere without worrying about road rash. The chrome and other stainless trim on the car is complete and in good condition. The grille is probably original, the bumpers have been re-chromed, and the stainless has been buffed and polished throughout its life so it has a lovely patina about it. All the lenses and bulbs are functional, and the glass is all intact and undamaged. Mechanically, the car is powered by Packard’s trustworthy, smooth, and torquey 282 cubic inch flathead straight-8, the same one that powered the 120 models. Making 125 horsepower, it was plenty to move the Clipper along at a good, er, clip, and the incredible smoothness and prodigious torque output of the long-stroke engine made it feel like you were at the end of a giant recoiling spring. I presume that the engine was rebuilt a few years ago when the engine bay was restored, and it presents well today. Packard engines were over-engineered and under-stressed, so they were reliable and durable, and often made it well over 100,000 miles before needing major servicing. The engine block and head (labeled “HC” for “high compression”) in this car are bathed in correct Packard green paint, with black painted accents like the air cleaner and oil filter lid. The wiring harness is in a correct fabric loom, and an original Packard radiator keeps it all cool. The carburetor looks like it has received a fresh rebuild, and sits on top of cast iron manifolds that are in outstanding condition. It fires up easily, idles so silently you have to remind yourself that it’s already running, and burbles through traffic with little more than a whisper from the tailpipe. Remember that in the pre-war era, smoothness and quietness were paramount, and engineers worked especially hard to eliminate vibration. And nobody was better at that than Packard. The transmission is a 3-speed manual that slips through the gears thanks to a column-mounted shifter, still a relatively recent innovation in 1941. Out back the original differential housing holds 4.30 gears which make this car feel lively around town and certainly makes the most of the engine’s flat torque curve. The exhaust system was done at the same time as the rest of the chassis, which shows no signs of heavy pitting or rust damage. Up front, the lever-action shocks are still in place doing their job, while out back tube type shocks are installed on the original differential and leaf springs. The 4-wheel drum brakes are hydraulic (Packard was one of the last manufacturers to switch to hydraulic brakes in the late ‘30s), and everything is clean and serviceable with no signs of significant rust. Wheels are 16-inch steel wheels with Packard hubcaps featuring the famous red Packard hexagon logo, and the tires are 7.00-16 BFGoodrich Silvertown wide whitewalls. As I said, this car would make a wonderful driver, and you won’t have to spend every spare moment of time cleaning and detailing the undercarriage. The interior is where this car really sparkles. I don’t know who did the work, but it is excellent throughout. The materials, patterns, and textures are correct and beautifully done. The woodgraining on the dash and window moldings is authentic and professionally done—note the two different grains on the moldings themselves. This is expensive, high-quality craftsmanship here. The same goes for the seats and door panels, which have been stitched in the original patterns using an authentic wool broadcloth with a slight pattern. Overhead, a new wool headliner is taut and wrinkle-free, while new carpets are under your feet. The gauges are crisp, and all the switchgear is functional. I’m positive that the steering wheel has been re-cast in the original cream colored plastic, and it looks lovely today with its rim-blow horn button. I could happily spend a lot of hours in this interior. Documentation includes receipts, some restoration photos, and a few other pieces of Packard Clipper history. As I said, I’m angling to buy this car for myself. I like the way it looks and I love the way it drives. It’s the perfect car for someone who likes to drive and enjoy their hobby cars, and maybe someday down the road you could throw a high quality paint job on it and really raise the value of the car. These are reliable, powerful, comfortable cars that will easily carry the whole family and their luggage across the country on a tour. Packard’s slogan for many years was, “Ask the man who owns one.” Well, wouldn’t you like to be that man?

1934 Ford Tudor - Collector Car For Sale

Description:

I have an old newspaper photo from the Cleveland Plain Dealer on my desk at home showing a somewhat overwhelmed-looking 3-year-old boy standing behind a 1934 Ford sedan holding a toy car of his own. The caption explains how that little boy’s father had just purchased that 1934 Ford sedan at the auction where the photo was taken, and that it was the father’s first-ever antique car. If you’re a regular reader, you’ve probably guessed that the little boy is me, the car is my father’s 1934 Ford that started the two of us in the collector car hobby, and the date was sometime in July of 1973. My father knew nothing of old cars and couldn’t have imagined what he was getting himself into. He just liked how that old Ford looked. When this 1934 Ford tudor sedan showed up, I was instantly transported back 35 years to that day, and to the many fun hours thereafter spent in that neat old Ford. In fact, I invited my father to visit Best of Show this afternoon just to see this car, and we ate lunch reminiscing about that car, both of us regretting that it was “the one that got away.” It was an absolutely fantastic hobby car in every single way—reliable, quick enough to keep up with modern traffic, big enough for the entire family, and incredibly stylish. Will anyone argue with me that 1934 was a banner year for Ford designers? This very nice 1934 Ford tudor sedan has had a modest restoration sometime in the past, but was clearly never destined to be a trailer queen. Instead, it is a super-clean and functional driver with great paint and a gorgeous original-style interior. Of course, it’s black with black fenders, Henry Ford’s favorite color scheme, and it is in very presentable condition today. The wheels and pinstripe are Tacoma Cream, which is a nice compliment to the tan cloth interior. The body work was done to a good standard several years ago, and it has aged well. A few of the friction points such as the hood latch mechanisms have some wear, but overall—especially for a black car—it looks fantastic. The doors are flat and wave-free, the fenders are solid, and the paint is glossy. The fabric insert for the top is in excellent condition with no signs of tears, rips, or shrinkage. Up front, you’ll find those great-looking stainless steel Ford headlights augmented by a pair of aftermarket driving lights that were a period accessory. The bumpers front and rear have been re-chromed, and the bumper guards are correct (I seem to recall that our ’34 had the wrong ones and the correct ones were virtually impossible to find). The single horn is under the driver’s side headlight and works properly, as do the dual taillights, with the driver’s side also sporting a clear lens to light the license plate. Some of the glass has been replaced, but I have a hunch the glass in the doors is original and it’s in very good condition with little delamination and bubbling. And that gorgeous 1934 grille is in excellent condition from top to bottom with no bent bars. Mechanically, this tudor still runs an original style flathead engine. Because Ford never really matched engine and frame numbers, we can’t say for certain whether it is a numbers matching car, but on these it doesn’t really matter. It’s a correct 221 cubic inch early 21-stud flathead with what I believe are factory replacement cast iron heads (casting 68-6050B with a tag marked 10-19-45 on the driver’s side and 68-6049B with a tag marked 6-13-45 on the passenger’s side). There were problems with the original aluminum heads and many early flathead Fords received replacement cast iron heads such as these at the dealership when they were relatively new. I don’t believe the aluminum intake is a factory piece, but perhaps an aftermarket performance intake developed sometime in the ‘50s. There’s no name or number on it that I can see, and its somewhat crude casting suggests one of the dozens of smaller speed part manufacturers that sprang up during hot rodding’s golden years. However, it is topped by a 1934-correct Stromberg “97” 2-barrel carburetor. That giant oil-bath air cleaner is not original, but probably works and flows a lot better than the original one did. The stock exhaust manifolds dump into a reproduction single exhaust system with that recognizable and traditional flathead Ford sound. The radiator is a factory piece, with hoses and clamps that were probably installed when the car was first restored and are starting to show some age. The transmission is a Ford 3-speed manual, with synchros on 2nd and 3rd gears. It shifts easily and quietly, with good clutch action. Out back there’s a Ford hypoid rear with 4.11 gears, which make the most of the 85 horsepower engine’s power curve and allows pretty comfortable 50-55 MPH cruising. The chassis is almost all factory equipment except for an upgrade to hydraulic brakes. Henry Ford never really trusted the “juice” brakes, and stuck to his levers and cables far longer than most other manufacturers. But by 1938, the writing was on the wall and his son, Edsel, finally convinced his father to update the brakes on the new Fords. This car, originally built with the old mechanical brakes, has been updated with later Ford hydraulics for reliability and improved stopping power. Although it’s not original, it’s a virtually invisible (the 1939 components look as authentic as 1934 components would) bolt-on upgrade that makes a BIG difference in safety and I can’t condemn the restorer for making that choice. Rolling stock consists of original 16-inch welded wire spoke wheels and 6.00x16 whitewall tires with tubes, just as it would have been in 1934. There’s a matching fifth wheel and tire mounted to the rear of the car with a metal cover for decoration. Hubcaps are reproduction V8 units that are in great condition. Open those front-opening “suicide” doors, and inside you’ll discover an authentically restored tan broadcloth interior. Up front is a pair of what you might call “bucket” seats, which move individually and tilt forward to allow access to the rear seat. I have extremely fond memories of sitting in the front seat of my father’s car, looking out over that hood at the play of light and reflections between the headlight, fender, and hood, and it all came back to me on this car. The dashboard has been restored with a painted woodgrain that doesn’t look 100% authentic to my eye, but passable, and is full of original, unrestored gauges. The speedometer has a gorgeous slender pointer and elegant numbers, while there is a capillary-style gas gauge to the left, and a temperature gauge to the right. Someone has added aftermarket temperature and oil pressure gauges to a pod under the dashboard, along with buttons for the original horn and a large aftermarket horn under the passenger’s side of the hood. There’s also a chrome button that triggers the starter, and a pair of aftermarket knobs that control the headlights and fog lamps. The steering wheel is an original hard rubber piece that just feels great in your hands, and the single windshield wiper has been upgraded with an electric motor in place of the vacuum-powered one (which never worked going up hills or at high speeds because there was no vacuum in the engine). The back seat is incredibly spacious and even though this is not a large car, you’ll be astounded by the amount of stretch-out space back there. The knobs and handles are original, and there’s an original owner’s manual in the glove box. If you’re looking for a great old car to drive and enjoy, you could do much worse than this ’34 Ford. The flathead provides good power and decent cruising ability, the brakes are up to the task of stopping this relative lightweight, and it really is a great looking car. These cars are also very safe investments, since real 1934 Fords are becoming increasingly rare as hot-rodders scoop them up to modify, and hold their values accordingly. This one is just too nice to cut up, and it would be a real shame to give up all this great originality to build another “me too” ’34 Ford rod, but if that’s what you’re into, this car would be an easy project without any serious needs in the metal-working department. If this were mine, however, I’d leave it alone and just drive and enjoy it, thinking back to all those great years listening to the V8 hum, enjoying the smell of the slightly oil-rich exhaust, and appreciating those classic good looks. Go ahead, give it a drive and tell me you haven’t fallen in love, too.

1932 Ford Roadster - Hot Rod For Sale

Description:

The great thing about the evolution of hot rodding over the past 20 years is that a vast array of great products, including reproduction bodies and frames, have come onto the market, allowing just about anyone to build the hot rod of their dreams. But that’s also a double-edged sword, since anyone who knows which end of a wrench to grab was also building hot rods from all those great parts, with all-too-predictable results. I’ve seen a lot of poorly built rods, and they only serve to reinforce what the core of hot-rodding is all about—craftsmanship and quality. This gorgeous yellow ’32 Ford roadster was clearly built with a real eye for detail, and it is precisely those details that give this car a big leg up over some of its competition. Not only was the entire car carefully thought-out and planned before construction even started (it’s obvious), but every item on the car was carefully massaged and polished to perfection before it was installed. “Out of the box” just wasn’t good enough for the builder of this car. Like I said, great rods are built by true craftsmen, not assembled like a kit. This is a great rod. The body itself is a Harwood fiberglass piece with a smooth cowl and rolled rear pan, along with a Rootlieb 3-piece steel hood that opens from either side thanks to a Dan Fink latch. Harwood pieces are typically regarded as top-of-the-line, but as I said, nothing on this car was simply used “as is.” The builder, J.R. Luksik (who is well-known in for his work on custom motorcycles), spent a tremendous amount of time getting the panels flat and straight, and the gaps on this rod are absolutely laser-straight and even. Fiberglass is a tricky substance, it’s easy to work with, but really challenging to make it look perfect. Good quality base materials like the Harwood body makes it easier, but creating a car this nice definitely takes some skill. Even the door jambs received the ministrations of a master before being sprayed with the Corvette Millennium Yellow topcoat. I mean, look at the reflection of the engine in the paint on the firewall—deep and flawless with no distortions! Detailing is where this car really shines. Check out the DuVall split V windshield, which gives the car a sporty, yet vintage, look. There’s a stainless steel grille insert with a filled crank hole up front for a smooth appearance, and a “Hide-A-Tag” license plate frame out back that retracts the plate when the car is parked. And dig the custom-fabricated aluminum mirror stalks, fabricated by J.R. just for this car. Details, details, details! I am especially fond of the extra large headlights, which give the front end a sense of scale and look, to my eye anyway, about ten times better than the little bullet headlights that a lot of rods end up with. The turn signals and parking lights are integrated into the headlights, so there are no extra bulbs or housings anywhere to detract from the pure lines of the roadster body. Out back, there are a pair of simple LED taillights and nothing else. Heck, the car isn’t even pinstriped, instead letting the original style belt moldings do the talking and keeping with the car’s monochromatic theme. Of course, a real hot rod is all about the hardware, and this car doesn’t disappoint. The small block Chevy under the hood is a 355 cubic inch screamer featuring World Products high compression heads, a chrome Edelbrock intake, and a cam from Speed Pro. Fuel is delivered by an Edelbrock AFB 650 CFM carburetor through a Billet Specialties air cleaner. A GM HEI distributor lights the fires, an d a set of block hugging headers with a ceramic coating handles exhaust. Dress up comes from polished aluminum valve covers and a chrome thermostat housing, water pump, oil pan, and polished aluminum pulleys. Note the careful routing of all the hoses and wires to keep them out of sight—super sanitary! The Walker Z-Series radiator and electric fan have been painted satin black to keep all your attention focused on the engine. The transmission is a reliable GM 700R4 4-speed automatic with a chrome pan and torque converter cover from Advanced Plating, and it twists a polished aluminum drive shaft. This roadster fires up easily, idles perfectly, and drives with a minimum of fuss. It isn’t radical, over-cammed, with monstrous compression, just a potent small block that happily drinks premium pump gas and goes about its business without making you worry about it. After all, who wants to drive a hot rod when all you do is fret about it overheating or breaking down? Underneath, the frame is also a Harwood piece with pinched and boxed rails, tubular supports, a drop-down transmission mount, and C-notches front and rear for that “in the weeds” stance. It has also been bobbed front and rear to keep everything clean and trim. The front suspension is fully chromed and polished, from the tubular axle with a 2-inch drop, to the monoleaf spring holding it all up. The 4-bar suspension is polished stainless, as are the Pete and Jake’s “boinger” shocks, the cross steering assembly and the Vega steering box. Out back, there’s a smoothed and filled Ford 9-inch axle bathed in the same Corvette Millennium Yellow paint as the body carrying a polished Strange aluminum center section packing 3.50 gears. It is all suspended on a set of stainless steel ladder bars with a Panhard rod, as well as a pair of polished coilovers with chrome springs. You’ll also notice a set of Wilwood disc brakes up front, complete with polished aluminum calipers and backing plates, and stainless steel brake lines throughout. There’s also a 16-gallon polished stainless steel gas tank out back and a custom stainless exhaust system fabricated by J.R. himself. Finishing off the chassis is a set of American Racing polished aluminum wheels, 15x4s wearing 145x15 Firestones up front and 17x8s out back wearing 275/60/17 Toyo Proxes radials for a trick twist on the “big-n-little” look. The interior is all tan leather that was custom designed by Jim Tocco Designs and stitched together by Willy’s Workshop in Port Huron, Michigan. The seat is hand-fabricated from foam sheets, not an off-the-shelf piece, and it is just as comfortable as it looks. Carrying the theme onto the door panels is a traditional hot rod interior trick, and it has been done to great effect here, creating a cohesive interior that flows around the driver. The steering wheel is wrapped in matching leather and sits on a tilt steering column, while the gauges are from Classic Instruments and set into a chrome panel from Lokar. Keeping the interior dry if the weather turns ugly is a tan canvas Sid Chavers BopTop that is completely removable to keep the roadster’s lines clean and unspoiled and cost more than $2500! The trunk has been upholstered to match the interior, with stitching that looks exactly like the door panels. You’ll note that the filler for the gas tank is stashed back here, and behind that panel in the center of the trunk are remote terminals for the battery and a remote connection for a battery charger/tender—if you’ve seen the inaccessible locations some builders put the battery, you’ll be grateful for this thoughtful little touch. This car also comes with an envelope full of receipts for many of the parts that went into the build, a detailed summary sheet, and instructions for removing and installing the BopTop. The PA title says it is titled as a 1932 Ford, which always helps at registration time. We’ve always got a variety of nice rods here at Best of Show Automotive, and they’re all nice. But as with all the cars we get, some seem to attract more attention for reasons that many folks just can’t explain. This is such a car—maybe it’s the yellow paint, I don’t know. The build quality is first rate on this one, constructed by a well-known fabricator with OEM experience so he knows quality. The details abound, making this a first-rate rod that is ready to be driven and enjoyed by its next lucky owner. If Millennium Yellow is your color, then take another good, long look at this ’32 roadster
