The Borgward Isabella was produced from 1954 to 1962 by the auto-manufacturer Carl F. W. Borgward GmbH, based in Bremen, Germany. The vehicle was manufactured in several models including sedan, estate, coupe, and cabriolet. Intended to be marketed with a different name, "Isabella" was used on test vehicles and was so popular with engineering staff and media that the name was used for production.
This Isabella de luxe Saloon model is very original and a complete driver. The exterior paintwork is uniform with very few dings or chips. The chrome is bright, but the bumpers have a couple of dents that are easily straightened. The interior is very clean and almost like new.
The engine starts and runs well, and the gearbox operates normally. Power is delivered to the swing-arm rear end and propels this little sedan along the road smoothly.
A Borgward enthusiast will appreciate the rarity of this Isabella and will enjoy having it in their collection.

In 1923, Buick announced that its “five-passenger touring car reaches the highest pinnacle of value that it has ever attained.”
“Always mechanically fine,” the marque’s catalogue continued, “always positive in power and in action, this car may also be singled out for its beauty, its convenience or its comfort.”
One hundred and two years later, that’s still true.
Cosmopolitan Motors is pleased to present a fine example of Buick’s Model 23-Six-45, featuring its original 242-cubic-inch straight six engine, which still provides plenty of power and runs very well.
1923 was a banner year for Buick. The cornerstone marque of General Motors offered Series 23 models in both four- and six-cylinder variants, with wheelbases from 109 to 124 inches, and prices from $865 to $2,200. They proved so popular that in 1923 Buick would turn out some 210,000 cars, including the one millionth Buick, completed March 21 of the year.
Of Buick’s impressive ’23 array of 15 open and closed body styles, the six-cylinder five-passenger touring car was the most popular. This example is in very good condition, having been stored inside by its longtime owner and primarily driven at local shows and parades. The interior has two reupholstered, black leather bench seats, a beautiful wooden steering wheel, and black carpeting. The canvas top is in excellent condition and shows well. The exterior maroon and black catches – and pleases – the eye, particularly the beautiful, crowned fenders, a new feature in 1923.
This elegant touring car “has been loved by a large family, for many, many years,” the current owner says.
When her father, Dan was a young man, he developed a love for cars – and specifically, 1920s-vintage Buicks. He admired the “valve-in-head” design that became an early Buick trademark, producing “power, endurance, long life and economy,” as Buick proudly asserted.
Being mechanically inclined, he started collecting parts and pieces of these cars with the intent of building his own. He would collect parts wherever he could find them.
One day, he was out for a drive in Eastern Washington, passing wheatfields and farmhouses, when he spied some parts in a field that looked interesting. He pulled over to check them out. As he was looking around, the owner of the field came out to see what was up. They got to talking and Dan told him what he was looking for and what his plans were.
The farmer told Dan he had something to show him. They made their way to a barn, which held this beautiful 1923 Buick in excellent condition. The car had belonged to the farmer’s father, who had died several years before. A sale ensued.
Since that day, Dan would always bring the Buick Model 23-Six-45 out for family gatherings and weddings. He entered it in many parades and car shows (where it always won first prize) and was always happy to bring it out for show and tell, to anyone who wanted to see it. He was pleased to show off the large collection of trophies and ribbons he had collected. He was frequently known to drive it a couple miles to town “to get the mail” and just enjoy the feeling and history it provided.
Dan passed away in 2011 at which time, his daughter Teresa bought the Buick from his estate, and to this day, she has maintained possession of it. Now, she has decided to let go of her father’s dream car.
“It has come time to pass the car along to allow someone else to love this beautiful vehicle and take it out for show and tell,” Teresa says. “I hope whoever gets the pleasure of owning this car next knows exactly what a treasure they have, and love and appreciate it as much as my family has.”
The voice of a Buick copy writer from 1923 echoes that sentiment through the mists of time: “Riding in this Touring Car, you will be conscious of a new sense of ease.”
This sale offers an opportunity for you to experience the wonderful ease that Dan felt, driving to town, and to become the next steward of this magnificent Touring Car.

Production of the DKW Junior began in 1959 in a newly constructed plant in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. DKW was a division of Auto Union AG, in Germany. Do the "Four-Circles" look familiar?... Auto Union transformed and is better known as Audi, today.
After being exported to the U.S., Nebraska was the original home of this little DKW gem until 2020. It moved to New York for several years, and then made its way out to Washington state in 2024.
This DKW Junior 750 appears to be in unadulterated, original condition and is believed to be the only one available in the United States! While there are some flaws and blemishes after sixty-three years, the bodywork of this car is very clean and shows nicely. It is finished in a light-green and the paintwork is contrasted by a cream interior. The exterior is accented by chrome bumpers, trim, and wheel covers.
This is an extremely rare three-cylinder, two-stroke, front-wheel drive, four-speed vehicle. The car is powered by a water-cooled, two-stroke 741cc inline-three mated to a column-shifted, four-speed manual gearbox. The engine is reported to have been rebuilt in 2018 and the clutch replaced in 2020. The engine features individual ignition coils and an electric fuel pump has been installed. The whole drivetrain works and functions very well.
The undercarriage is very clean and rust-free. The sheet metal is straight with no dents anywhere. There is no damage visible to the frame rails and the welds appear to be solid. The only enhancement under this car is the electric fuel pump mounted in front of the fuel tank area.
Since it is a two-stroke, "pre-mix" instructions, for adding oil to the fuel, are printed on the filler cap. If the car doesn't get you noticed, adding a quart of oil to the gas tank certainly will.

Facel Vega started designing the Facel II in 1959 and introduced the production version at the 1961 Paris Motor Show. The production lifespan lasted from 1962 to 1964, with approximately 180 examples of the Facel II built (26 with right hand drive). The Facel II was a GT (grand tourer) that was advertised by the company as 'Le Coupé 4-places le plus rapide du Monde' ('The Fastest 4-seater Coupé in the World'). Amazingly, with a 'dry' weight of two tons (4,145 lb), the potent 6.3-liter (383ci) Chrysler engines allowed for top speeds of over 135 mph, and with the four-speed gearbox, it could exceed 150 mph. In the manual transmission configuration, it could out-accelerate two-seat GTs such as the Aston Martin DB4, Ferrari 250 GT and 'gull-wing' Mercedes-Benz 300SL, to 60 mph and all except the Ferrari to 100 mph.
This 1963 Facel II is a very nice example and shows very well. The design itself captures immediate attention but the smooth and polished red exterior paintwork captures it that much quicker. While the chrome is showing some age, all the metal trim is solid. The interior leather is beautiful, and the faux wood dash paint scheme is stunning and can fool the best.
The engine and drivetrain operate well together, and this car needs very little to be back on the road. With only about 180 Facel IIs ever built, this is the perfect opportunity to snag a great deal on one of the most collectible, beautiful, and rare sports cars of all time.

Cosmopolitan Motors is proud to offer a very rare automobile with an aristocratic pedigree: A 1927 Lincoln Model L Convertible Coupe, custom-bodied by Dietrich. It is one of a very few known examples – 13 according to Lincoln registry records. It is, of course, a CCCA Full Classic.
The Lincoln L was the first model Lincoln ever made. Its quality made the brand famous – and after a bankruptcy and subsequent purchase by Ford five years before this beauty was crafted, the L models only got better. As designer Ray Dietrich’s fame grew at the same time, the marriage of the redoubtable Lincoln chassis and motor with Dietrich’s coachwork produced spectacular results.
A seafoam grey Dietrich-bodied Lincoln rumble seat convertible coupe won Dietrich the best of show at the 1927 Paris Salon, and a look at the lovely lines of this authentic example clearly shows why. It shows the Dietrich brilliance with a low accent line and sporty windshield and convertible top with elegant hinged – and still fully functional --Landau bars. Headed for the links? You’ll be glad to know the car has a golf-club door and storage area, as well as an elegant rumble seat.
Amazingly, this beautiful survivor still features its magnificent original 358cid V8, as matching engine number and cowl tag demonstrate.
And what an engine! The famed Lincoln fork and blade design, credited to company founder and engineering genius Henry Leland, featured a shared crankshaft bearing for each two connecting rods, meaning a short crank and compact design. With Dietrich on top and Leland below, engineering excellence was everywhere on the 1927 Lincoln. The V-8 has had recent repair and service by a Lincoln expert. Service records indicate that the motor was overhauled in place but not removed from the car. The original updraft carburetor and accessories are included in the sale, but the car now runs on a downdraft Holley two-barrel carb.
The striking 21-inch wheels are of a demountable rim design. When the rim is removed for tire repair or replacement, the spokes remain in place. The car’s rear spare carrier is mounted, but the spare demountable rim is absent. The very old tires should be replaced.
Perhaps the most beautiful feature of the car is the driver’s aspect with spectacular steering wheel and striking dash, featuring an elegant Waltham clock and advanced instrument design. The doors and windows open and close nicely.
This car is stunning in its originality. It has been treated well and faithfully, with some work yet to be done to bring it to the higher levels – but it is so complete and original that anyone desiring to create a masterpiece could not ask for a better place to begin. It could also be enjoyed with relatively minimal restoration – a running, driving roadster, as faithful and ready to serve as the trademark leaping greyhound on its radiator cap.

The Khamsin was the first Bertone design created for Maserati. It was introduced at the 1973 Paris Motor Show with production starting in 1974. The Khamsin is named for a hot, violent Egyptian desert wind. This is a front-engine/rear-wheel drive Grand Touring (GT) vehicle powered by a 4.9L V8 engine fed by four two-barrel Weber carburetors. The undercarriage design includes fully independent suspension at all four corners. Maserati claimed a top speed of 170mph (270 kph).
Through eight years of production from 1974 through 1982, there were only 435 Khamsins built. Of those, 155 were exported to the U.S. Due to NHTSA regulations, the taillights were not allowed to be mounted in the rear glass panel, thus making the U.S. vehicles an even rarer vehicle.
This extremely original 1979 Maserati Khamsin is only 1 of 100 cars delivered to North America with a 5-speed manual gearbox and is a matching numbers example. A rare car already with only 435 built in total production, this Khamsin has been under the same ownership for the last 40 years and has been sitting for the last 10 years. It wears an extremely attractive original color combination, white with red leather interior. Finding a 5-speed Khamsin is almost impossible. This one is a highly collectible and desirable classic.

Produced from 1958-1960, the Mercedes-Benz 220SE was available in sedan, coupé, or cabriolet body styles, and it was the last new model of the "Ponton" style range which began in 1953 with the 180 sedan. It was largely identical to its 220S predecessor, except for having petrol injection, 'Einspritzung' in German, reflected in the "E" in its "SE" designation.
The 220SE featured a unitized body/frame construction and fully independent suspension. All models were fitted with 2.2 L (2195 cc) straight 6 gasoline engines with aluminum head, overhead camshaft, and Bosch mechanical fuel injection that produced 115 HP. An automatic clutch was available with the column-mounted 4-speed manual transmission.
Nearly every interior surface of the coupé and cabriolet was covered in wood or leather, and matching leather luggage was available. However, power steering, windows, air conditioning, and an automatic transmission were not. The 220SE was succeeded by the "Fintail" series.
This 1960 Mercedes Benz 220SE Coupe is from the Berndt Febick collection of San Francisco, California. This vehicle was under a meticulous restoration when the former owner passed away.
Since we believe "A project in motion stays in motion..." We have replated the brightwork and started reassembly of the vehicle. However, we discovered there are a few chrome pieces missing. The bodywork is great with very nice paint throughout. The wood trim looks spectacular and will surely draw attention and comment when the interior is installed and finished.
There has been alot of money already spent on this car and it will be a spectacular car when finished. Fully restored they are bringing up to $200,000.00

As peace returned to Europe in the wake of World War II, Talbot-Lago was eager to get back to the business of building fast cars. In the late 1930s, the firm had risen to the top of the French motoring industry, alongside Delahaye and Delage. Talbot-Lago earned its stellar reputation through motor racing, and their road-going sports cars were often thinly disguised racing cars dressed in spectacular bodies by France's premier coachbuilders. As with nearly every car manufacturer in the world, Talbot-Lago's early post war models were essentially freshened-up pre-war designs. Unfortunately, their market had dwindled significantly, along with the company's finances.
Talbot-Lago hoped sales of the revised T-15 "Baby" would shore up the bottom line and support their ultimate six-cylinder models. The new T-15 used a four-cylinder engine with twin high-mounted lateral camshafts and hemispherical combustion chambers, a similar setup to the contemporary Riley engine. On paper, the Baby should have put Talbot-Lago on par with more affordable competition such as Jaguar, but the heavy saloon bodies stunted performance, and the company could not get costs low enough to appeal to buyers. Talbot-Lago struggled to regain its foothold, and the legendary marque faded into history.
THIS OFFERING
Chassis 122022 is one of approximately 70 surviving Talbot Baby T-15 chassis, and it wears distinct one-off coachwork by Barou. The handsome slab-sided body is clean and modern and calls to mind contemporary designs from Graber or Pininfarina. This chassis is believed to have been displayed at the Paris Salon and was later acquired and bodied by Jean Barou and used to promote his small carrosserie. Early in the car's life, it's understood that Barou revised the roof to its current configuration. A Talbot dealer named Louis Cremer purchased the car in 1957 and retained it for a decade until 1967, when Mr. Dupond purchased the car. During Dupond's ownership, the aluminum head was replaced using a new-old-stock unit. Mr. Dupond retained the car until he sold it back in 1977 to Mr. Cremer, who used it mainly as a showpiece at a dealership.
Currently showing just over 22,000 kilometers, this Talbot has never been restored and is carefully preserved. It features Robergel wire wheels, hydraulic brakes, a Wilson preselector gearbox, and the boot lid, doors, and bonnet are made from lightweight aluminum. The paint appears to be original, with minor areas of dimpling and heavy patina on the brightwork. It is a fascinating example of this exceptionally rare postwar Talbot-Lago, suitable for preservation-class display, or as the basis of a straightforward refurbishment.
Truly a museum quality with one incredible pedigree. This is the only example in the world.

The Wolseley 1500 was introduced at the London Motor Show in April 1957. Mark II production began in May 1960 and featured a lower front suspension compared with the Mark I. The Mark II also featured updated chrome steel beltline trim as well as hidden hood and trunk hinges. The saloon bodywork was built by Fisher & Ludlow of Birmingham, England.
This 1961 Wolseley 1500 Mark II saloon is a right-hand-drive example that was imported to the US prior to 2010. Cream-colored painted wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are shod with Kumho Solus HP4 Plus tires. A spare wheel and tire are stowed beneath the trunk floor. Braking is provided by hydraulic drums at all four corners. Highlights include chrome bumpers and brightwork, a hood ornament, fender-mounted mirrors, and a tow ball.
The low-back front seats and a rear bench seat are adorned in burgundy upholstery that are color-coordinated with the dash pad, door panels, and carpeting. The wood dash panel includes dual gloveboxes, an under-dash storage shelf, a cigar lighter, a heater, and a Radiomobile radio. The banjo-style steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation that includes a combination "oil/temp/fuel" gauge and a 100-mph speedometer. The odometer shows 10500 miles, but total mileage is unknown.
The 1,489cc BMC B-series inline-four features an SU carburetor and was factory rated at 43 horsepower. A new fan belt was installed recently, and a valve adjustment was also performed. Compression test results are shown in the photos. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission that functions normally.
These Wolseley 1500 MkII's are rather eccentric little cars and are rare to find. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own one.

BMW produced the R69 motorcycle from 1955-1969. Over 15 years, 15,347 were built for both European and US markets. These were designed as high-power sport bikes even though side-car lugs were standard with the Earles suspension. US models with telescopic forks did not include these lugs.
This 1959 BMW R69 is powered by a 594cc horizontally opposed, twin-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed transmission attached to an enclosed driveshaft. The motor was factory rated at 35 horsepower and is equipped with Bing carburetors. A kick-starter cranks the motor over easily, the engine runs well, and the transmission shifts properly through all the gears. The chrome exhaust system, with crossover pipe and torpedo-style mufflers, looks great and creates a great sound.
Suspension is handled up front by an Earles leading-link fork and a rear swingarm with shrouded hydraulic shocks. A friction-plate steering-damper adds to the stability of the bike. An adjustment knob for the damper is located between the handlebar risers. The bike rides on 18" chrome rims that are laced to a duplex drum up front, and a simplex drum at the rear.
The bike is finished in black with white accents and features a black solo saddle with white piping. A locking storage compartment is located behind the left rubber knee grip of the fuel tank. Additional equipment includes a hinged rear fender, fixed passenger foot pegs, and both center and side stands.
Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph VDO speedometer mounted atop the headlight bucket. The five-digit odometer shows 27k miles.
This 1959 BMW R69 is offered in Washington with a clean Oregon title.

The history of Express Werke AG, a German motorcycle company, reflects significant developments in the German motor industry from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. Express Werke began as a bicycle manufacturer. Carl Marschütz founded the company in Neumarkt, Bavaria, in 1884, initially under the name "Goldschmidt & Pirzer" in partnership with Eduard Pirzner. The company initially produced velocipedes, a precursor to modern bicycles. By the early 20th century, Express Werke had diversified into the production of motorcycles. (Source: Runmotorun)
Express Werke AG (AG=Aktiengesellschaft: a type of shareholder owned, publicly traded German corporation) had a 75-year history of producing bicycles, mopeds, and small-displacement motorcycles starting all the way back in 1884. Express Werke utilized engines produced by ILO and Sachs to power its lightweight scooters. From the 1940’s through 1959, when Express reportedly ended production, the company offered seven classes of bikes with cc displacements of 50, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 250. Express Werke scoots were built at the company’s Nuremberg, Germany headquarters, and sold throughout the European market. Finding an example in the States is rare. (Source: Bike-urious)

Out of business since 1992, Hercules was a German company that was the first to offer Wankel-powered motorcycles to the general public. The W2000 Rotary was sold from 1974-77, but the firm's motorcycle history goes all the way back to 1904.
Fondly remembered by off-road riders are the Hercules enduro bikes of the 1970s, equipped with Sachs two-stroke engines that ran six-speed and even seven-speed gearboxes. With beefed-up swingarms and special air/oil shocks, the Hercules dirt bikes fully embraced the benefits of long-travel suspension, giving the bikes an edge in rough terrain.

Yamaha struck gold when they introduced the AT-1 125 "Enduro" in 1969. These gems turned out to be some of the most robust, reliable, and downright fun motorcycles produced during the early 1970's. Taking cues from the Scrambler designs already on the market, Yamaha designed a bike for the commuter who still wanted to hit the dirt on the weekends, and the dirt rider who wanted to commute during the week. Hence was born the "Enduro" motorcycle class that has not left the market since.
In those times, two-stroke motorcycles were deemed mechanical PITAs with the noise, premix requirements, short lifespan, and overall reliability. Yamaha designed a very solid two-stroke motor that put all those issues to rest. The Autolube feature eliminated premix issues with an oiling system that injected directly into the crankcase. Simply fill both fuel and oil tanks, and you were good to go; No measuring cup required! Noise was handled by new baffling in an expansion chamber that wrapped up the side of the bike. It all worked well and made these bikes more than just commuting dirt bikes, it made them all-around machines that could do the Barstow-Vegas or run laps at Laguna Seca. These motors are still running in vintage road races to this day.
This very original 1969 Yamaha AT-1 125 Enduro is a great find. It has, unfortunately, and like so many others, been neglected as that "old bike we never ride anymore," and has "weathered" in the backyard. Amazingly, the appearance belies that engine reliability mentioned above. Yes, the chrome needs attention, but with very little effort, our technician had the motor running again and even got the electric start to turn it over. It starts and runs very nicely and has that great sound only a two-stoke can make. Once you hear the motor start, the appearance gets better with every turn of the throttle. Yes, there is character corrosion around the bike, but all the original equipment is there and whole. The seat is complete with no rips or tears, and the paint is solid in the original white. Even the tires appear original in the trials style that came from the factory.

This is a rare find... An unadulterated, very original, 1959 Austin Healey 100-6 BN6. This vehicle still has the original carpeting and interior. Although the certified factory record states black for the exterior colour. The only obvious modification is the addition of a new stainless steel exhaust system that is visible below the driver's side door.
This is a fun car! Turn the key, push the start button and the engine fires up and runs smooth. The gearbox is smooth and shifts well through all the gears. The brakes are strong and have been recently serviced.
Overall, this 1959 Austin Healey 100/6 is a great road vehicle. While it has not been licensed since 1978, it is obvious the previous owner took care of the car and exercised it with some regularity.

The Ford Galaxie was produced in North America from 1959 to 1974. Ford made several changes to the Galaxie hard tops in 1963-1/2, but the convertible model remained unchanged. Being a transformative model between the Fairlane and the LTD, the Galaxie helped introduce the "multi-trim" configuration era and had many options available.
This 1963 Galaxie 500XL Convertible has a couple of rare options installed. While the 390ci big-block engine was the usual choice, this engine includes the upgraded high-compression heads option for more power. The transmission option selected was the Borg-Warner 4-spd manual transmission with floor-shifter. Both the engine and transmission still perform like new and move this grand Galaxie along the earthly surface with ease.
This Galaxie 500XL Convertible was ordered for, and built in, California. Originally, it had a Glacial Blue exterior over a Light Blue Diamond Luster interior. The interior is still fairly "lustrous" after 60+ years and the upholstery is solid with no rips or tears. The interior is covered by a white top that is power operated and functions flawlessly.
This is a great West Coast vehicle ready for any weather thrown its way. Top up or top down, she'll make a fantastic conversation starter wherever the new owner takes her.
VIN: 1FABP64RXLH154663
Odometer:193241
Engine: 3.8L V6 with Super Charger
Trans.: 5-spd Manual
Drive: Independent rear suspension
This is the 35th Anniversary edition of the legendary T-Bird. These were limited production "Super Coupe" vehicles with less than 3400 manufactured, overall, in 1990. The 5-spd manual option was a small fraction of that quantity and is estimated to be only about 750. Of those, about 150 were exported to Canada where this car was originally delivered to.
At the time, these 10th generation T-birds shared a commonality with the Corvette as the only American cars having an independent rear suspension (IRS) drive system. These were some of the sportiest T-birds while retaining the comfortable ride of a bigger coupe.
This T-bird is powered by a Super Charged, 3.8L, V6 engine mated to a Mazda built 5-spd manual transmission. These deliver power to the independent rear suspension, and all of it seems to work very well.
This T-bird has it all... Power windows, seats, and mirrors... Leather upholstery... Power Moon roof. All of them function properly.
The black exterior is in good condition with the assorted knicks and scratches that come with a 34-year-old vehicle. The silver and blue trim are a nice quiet accent that denotes the SC model.
This vehicle runs and drives nicely, shows well, and appears to have been well maintained. It is showing some age though and could use a little TLC.

Trans.: 4-speed Wilson "pre-selector"
This Talbot Lago T26 Cabriolet (by Antem) was originally built in France. It had an older French restoration prior to the previous London based ownership. The former owner stripped the car back to bare metal and did a couple of minor repairs. It was then repainted in the original color.
The interior was re-upholstered to a very high standard. At the owner's request, a sound system with amp/tuner was installed in a specially built console between the seats.
During the restoration, the engine bay refreshed, and chrome redone.
Antem had a peculiar system on some of their cars where the fender sides would fold up to allow easier access to the engine. But the system was flawed inasmuch as the fenders never lined up properly, and they tended to move around as the car moved. While in restoration, the fenders were welded, and the gaps were lead filled. The result is perfect and even today, there are no cracks.
The car has seen little use but is regularly serviced and driven.

Trans.: TH200-4R 4-spd Overdrive Auto (shift kit)
This 1986 El Camino SS was originally assembled in Romos Arizpe, Mexico with a 305ci (5.0L) engine before heading for the states. It has since had a new 350 Chevy crate motor installed just over 1100 miles ago. It is just broken in with the break-in oil being replaced at 900 miles. A FiTech fuel injection system and Patriot headers help get more ponies out of the motor. To make sure the extra horses didn’t pull things apart, the TH200-4R transmission was rebuilt and includes a shift-kit for better performance.
This car was purchased from the 2nd owner, the grandson of the original owner, with approximately 87,000 original miles. The transmission and rear end have been checked and both are tight, like new.
The car is a great driver with no shimmies, squeaks, or rattles and no alignment needed. The exterior is very clean, and the paint is fantastic. The interior has been redone with modern gauges, an updated iPod radio, and new upholstery.
This El Camino SS has been modified with great attention to detail. It shows very well and gets lots of attention. Whether as a stable/parade vehicle or as a daily driver, the new owner will be proud to own it.

In late 1959, the 93F was introduced, featuring front-hinged doors from the Saab GT750. 1960 was the last year of production for the 93. The 93 was replaced by the Saab 96, although the two models were sold side by side for the earlier part of the year. A total of 52,731 Saab 93s were made. Very few remain today.
Originally the car came with the 750CC engine, Saab gauranteed their engines for life. The original 750cc engine siezed and Saab replaced the engine with a new engine, though when the engine was replaced the 750cc was no longer available which resulted in Saab instaling the 850CC engine bumping it to 40HP. The car was previously restored to its original beauty by a previous caretaker. Paint needs some help, but the interior is super sweet for this little 2-stroke. The car is solid and drives great.

Made famous from the well loved Mini Cooper, these Jeep like small utility rigs were designed to be used with paratrooper grand forces. They are nimble and powerful and all the rage in the tropics and warm climates. You will find them on super yachts on the Amalfi Coast and throughout resorts and hideaways. Made world renowned from the spy-series “The Prisoner” and the James Bond movie “Live and Let Die.” These are hard to find in their original form and highly sought after. This rare find comes from the family of local racing legend and auto dealer magnet, Pete Lovely of Tacoma. His original Ferrari Testarossa from the 50’s is valued at over $30 million dollars. This is quite an interesting and useable piece. The last one we sold at Lacky was a yellow one and it brought $40,000.00.

This 1966 Cord Glenn Pray Replica is a 2-owner gem of a car that is exceptionally clean for its age. Housed and owned in Gig Harbor, Washington and always garaged. Includes the original invoice from the factory and has incredibly low miles. It is a 2/3 scale replica of the famous Cord 810.
Pray, born in December 1925, had a long history with the front-wheel-drive Cord 810/812, starting from the day he saw one on the street in 1940, continuing to his accumulation of more than a dozen of the Cords while working as a shop teacher, and eventually leading to his purchase of the remains of the Cord company in 1960. With financial help from Chevrolet dealer Wayne McKinley and design help from Gordon Buehrig, Pray was able to fulfill his dream of resurrecting the Cord as a brand-new car, using a Corvair drivetrain, a Royalite body and proportions set at about 80 percent of the original's (thus the replica Cord's name, the "8/10"). Eventually, 97 such Cords were built and Pray went on to build replica Auburns afterward. He had remained active in the Auburn and Cord enthusiast circles since then and in years previous had even brokered existing Cord 8/10s with Felix De Geyter, a former employee of Pray's. At his death, Pray still owned the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company and the rights to the Cord name.
I challenge you to find another example of this 2-owner, well maintained, low mileage driver anywhere else. Pray’s son still manufactures Cord and ACD parts. This classic within a classic is a fabulous piece of kitsch.
Exceptionally original, it may represent the most original example extent.

The 2016 Land Rover Range Rover continues to be a classically styled, opulently appointed icon of luxury. But what we really like about this venerable SUV is that it's not just showy; it's functional as well. Like other Land Rover vehicles, the Range Rover is built to traverse the most difficult terrain imaginable, and doing so is now easier than ever thanks to the newly available All-Terrain Progress Control system (think of it as low-speed cruise control for off-roading). Even if you don't get much more adventurous than driving over a curb while pulling up to the valet stand, it's nice to know the capability is there.
Performance & MPG
The base engine in the 2016 Range Rover is a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine rated at 340 hp and 332 pound-feet of torque. It's standard on the SE trim, while the HSE gets a tweaked version that's rated at 380 hp. EPA fuel economy estimates are 19 mpg combined (17 city/23 highway) either way.
Newly available for 2016 is a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6, known as the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover
"Td6" and rated for 254 hp and a formidable 443 lb-ft of torque. The EPA pegs it at 25 mpg combined (22 city/29 highway), a remarkably efficient result for such a heavy vehicle. You can get the diesel engine in either base or HSE trim.
Supercharged and Autobiography models step up to a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine producing 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque. The SV Autobiography gets a tweaked version that's good for 550 hp and 502 lb-ft. EPA fuel economy estimates stand at 16 mpg combined (14 city/19 highway).
An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard with all engines, as is full-time four-wheel drive. The standard Terrain Response system provides five driver-selectable terrain modes with distinct powertrain, suspension and traction-control settings, while the optional Terrain Response 2 system adds an adaptive mode that senses surface conditions and adjusts the settings automatically. Land Rover's All-Terrain Progress Control extends the functionality of Hill Descent Control by maintaining a driver-specified speed (up to 20 mph) regardless of terrain incline. An active locking rear differential is optional on the Supercharged and standard on the two Autobiography trims.
Land Rover says the base Range Rover V6 will hustle from zero to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, which is on the slower side for a high-end luxury SUV. In Edmunds track testing, the new diesel model hit 60 mph in 7.7 seconds. On the other end of the spectrum, a Range Rover Supercharged thundered to 60 mph in a stunningly quick 4.7 seconds.
This car runs and drives like a dream. Black on black and so comfortable. All the bells and whistles you can imagine. Owned by a real estate cougar who bought a new musk mobile. She loves it!
Clean car fax. Extended warranty for 100,000 miles only 88,000 miles on the rig.

Overview:
Finished in fashionable green colorway this is a stunning example of an old classic that holds its weight in modern times. The top has been completely re-done by our head upholstery specialist in shop and looks phenomenal. The seats have also been re-done and let us just say it shows. Finished in a sleek black and white colorway you couldn’t expect anything better. As of right now it is missing external door handles but are being installed soon. The carpet is all new and dash functions have been replaced. It drives like a dream and looks good doing it.
The first MG Roadster to not have archaic running boards. Well balanced and incredibly nimble and great long-distance drivers. These are as beautiful to look at as they are a pleasure to pilot. They are solid as a brick of gold in the marketplace and an excellent hedge against investment. Do not overlook this affordable, enjoyable sleeper.
History:
The MGA Mark II was introduced in 1961 and was the last of the line being superseded in 1963 by the MGB. The MGA Mark II was fitted with a 1,622cc bored out version of the 1,588cc engine. This engine had other improvements including larger valves and re-designed combustion chambers. As a result of these upgrades the engine power was raised to 90bhp and in-line with the road car’s primary use for high-speed country touring the rear axle ratio was changed to 4.1 to reduce engine revs at speed and improve fuel consumption.
The main visual change for the Mark II was the inset front grille and the use of tail lamps from the trendy Morris Mini.
Top speed of the Mark II was 105mph with a standing to 60mph time of 12.8 seconds. These figures mean that the Mark II could achieve about the same level of performance as the low compression Twin Cam.

The Fiat Bravo and Fiat Brava (Type 182) are small family cars produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1995 to 2003 (2001 in Europe). They were effectively two versions of the same car: the Bravo, a three-door hatchback, and the Brava, a five-door fastback. The Brava name was revived in January 2007, with the all-new Fiat Bravo, a replacement for the Stilo. The new version was available only with five doors.
The name Brava was also used in the United States in the 1980s, on the earlier Fiat 131.
This is as original as it gets. With low original 54k miles the engine is strong. This rare Italian is ready to be taken to the next level by its new caretaker. This car some rust issues around trunk and back window.
She drives well and has AC too.

Not just beautiful, but exceptionally rare, too – that's what you'll tell everyone at the car shows when they see this 1956 Ford Victoria. After all, less than 10% of the ‘56 Fairlane production was this top-of-the-line Fairlane Victoria. The Thunderbird badging on the front fender is no accident. Pop the hood and you'll find the proper 292 cubic-inch Ford Y-block V8 motor, which is one of the largest motors Ford had to offer at the time.
That was an optional powerplant borrowed from Ford's ultimate personal cruiser, the Thunderbird. Finished in the fashionable ruby red colorway this is truly a one-of-a-kind car. From the soft seats that you just want to sink into to the factory restored radio, this is truly a phenomenally done restoration.

Remarkable barn find, same owner for over 50 years. Postage stamp title. Recently retrieved from long term storage, cleaned lubricated and started. After decades of being in a cocoon this spectacular little juliat runs and drives. She will require extensive servicing and some restoration to be roadworthy. The brakes need to be redone. The interior is in amazing condition. The body is mostly straight and rust free. All the little accoutrements are intact and in place. All and all, this is a spectacular example of a highly sought after piece of motor history unblemished by the rigors of time. Do yourself a huge favor and buy yourself years and tens of thousands of dollars in the restoration process. As good and original as they get anywhere at any price. A spectacular example throughout.

Produced from 1979 throughout 1985, Fiat’s Spider succeeded the 124 spider that was introduced in 1966. Through both generations the bodies were designed and built by the Pininfarina, with styling cues for these beautifully small sports cars derived from those of some of Ferrari’s top road cars of the 60’s. Power was delivered by Fiat’s twin-cam 4-cylinder engine 2.0-Liter unit shared with the popular Brava sedan.
This Fiat Spider is being offered for sale as a true and honest fun driving weekend toy. The drive on this car is fantastic and runs just as good.

At 64 years of age, this Isabella Coupé is in great condition. Finished in red with a white top over a matching fabric interior, she shows very well. These are rare and hard to find vehicles and are nice additions to a collector's stable.
This vehicle is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four engine equipped with a single carburetor that feeds "through the head" instead of a standard manifold. The carburetor sits atop the enclosed intake manifold, incorporated in the valve cover that features two removable rocker covers for valve adjustments. The overhead valves are incorporated within an aluminum head atop a cast iron cylinder block that features a three-bearing crank. The engine runs great and is paired with a column-shifted 4-speed manual transmission that transmission operates just as smoothly.
Many people will see the styling of this car as a "mix" of other cars, but the prominent "Isabella" diamond logo on the grille is unique and sets it apart from anything else.
This Borgward is offered with a clean title.
