Here is a rare 1972 Maserati Indy 4.9 forsale in Arizona. It was Maserati’s 4 seater V8 alternative to the Ghibli. It has its original drive train with quad carbs. The engine is an all aluminum engine, 4 overhead cam Tipo 107 V8 and fed by 4 Weber 42 DCNF twin-choke carburetors. The total production of the 4.9 Liter cars was only 300 examples between 1972 to 1976. Maserati made
Here is a 1966 Jaguar XKE Series 1 Roadster found for sale in New York. This car came out of an estate and is matching numbers. It is blue with black interior which is one of the best color combinations for the XKE. Unfortunately the car is not running at this time but it does come with a factory hard top as well. This wil make a great restoration project. The series 1 cars with the covered headlights are my favorite.
This interesting 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Custom Coupe can be found for sale in Denver, Colorado. The seller is in an unfortunate situation and must sell. The mileage is only 64k miles and shows very well. It was kept in a garage for 10 years and well taken care of. It has an interesting and very aggressive body kit along with some custom halo headlights similar to what BMW offers. It has a 2 tone red and black paint job.
Aston Martin cars are appreciating quickly. This is a Aston Martin DB 2/4 that is for sale in St. Louis. It was posted 11 hours ago and looks to be a good deal that will go quickly. Seller states the car has been completely and correctly restored. It is a show quality restoration. This car is currently at the Amelia Island Concours in Florida. It will be transported to St Louis this week where it will be garaged. The owner lives in Switzerland and the broker handling the transaction wants 5% upfront. It sounds a bid shady and should be checked out thoroughly before handing any money over. If its a legitimate sale and everything checks out this would be a great addition for any collector. An early Aston Martin that is in pieces with no interior and a non running non matching engine already commands $120,000 minimum. You could not restore a car for less than the sellers asking price of $225,000. Please be cautious with this one but some of my best transactions have occurred when I was willing to go the extra mile when no one else bothered to go see it.
This is a super rare Aston Martin DB5 Convertible. Seller states its a matching numbers car with ID tags for confirmation. Also this car comes Air Conditioning which is a very rare option for these cars. Only 123 convertible DB5 were built. They did not use the “Volante” name until 1965. The convertibles were built only from 1963 to 1965. As you probably already know the DB5 prices are skyrocketed to $750,000 USD or more. These are such iconic cars and finding a convertible to buy is just an incredibly rare opportunity.
I went to see my friend’s Aston Martin Project today and 1 of his 5 German Shepherds was waiting to greet me. I wanted to see how the restoration has been coming along. It looks amazing in bare metal. This project is an Aston Martin DB5 that has been taken down to bare aluminum for a full restoration. The Body repairs are close to being done. In the past 3 years, these cars have skyrocketed in price. It seems like only yesterday they were going for $100,000 and now they are $600,000 plus! Its such a beautiful car and I cant wait until its completed.
Anyone looking for a Bentley Continental R in iconic British racing green? Here is a clean example and the first Bentley to feature a body not shared with a Rolls Royce model since the S3 Continental of 1965. When this car was launched in 1993 this was considered the fastest, and most powerful Bentley every made and held the title as the most expensive production car in the world. You would have to buy this car new in 1993 for $222,000 dollars
Production Numbers:
Continental R= 1236 examples
Continental T= 350 examples
The cult following that the Land Rover Defender 90 has is incredibly strong. These are very capable off road vehicles and look beautiful. There is an Arles Blue one in my area that I am dying to make the owner an offer for. I had a 1995 Beluga black Defender 90 that had multiple tops and a surf rack. It was No. 2001 and I would love to be reunited with my old car.
This British Racing Green Defender 90 looks like a tired basket case that has been sitting for a long time. It sits in Boston in a side yard waiting for a more loving owner. The front tires are flat and the front grille and lights have been removed. I would like to see more of this car and find out what its needs are. It would be a shame for this to be parted out. The price seems optimistic for a car that needs a total restoration but time will tell. I am sure it is not an easy project or this car would be put on the road and for sale at twice the price.
This is a front hood or front bonnet for a 1967 Jaguar XKE. There is damage to the passenger side which can be repaired. The driver side headlamp cover is intact. There maybe someone in the world that needs piece to complete a XKE restoration project.
This is a 1978 Lotus Esprit Group 5 Race Car for sale in Mesa, Arizona. The seller states that the car came off the race track in 1995 and put away in dry storage. It was purchased by the current owner in 2013 and started documenting the car and restoration. The FIA certification began in early 2014 after inspection by the FIA Technician. A complete nut and bolt restoration was started as well.
We are a couple of enthusiasts that enjoy traveling the world hunting for classics cars and the stories behind them.
