classic cars for sale | collector cars for sale


Restored in 2001, this Ford has been remained a wonderful example of the rare 3 window Ford lineup for 1935.
Many of these Coupes were cut into Hot Rods in the late 40’s and early 50’s.  Luckily, this one survived and was restored to its original specifications.   The Flathead V-8, 221 CI engine is quiet and strong and the 3 speed transmission shift smoothly. It also is equipped with a Columbia two speed rear end.
The black paint is still beautiful --showing no cracking or crazing.  Also, the LaBaron Bonney interior look new
Options include: Factory radio, banjo steering wheel, heater, luggage rack, grille guard, rumble seat, roll down rear window and shade, Ford script tires, and a metal spare tire cover. 
It is also equipped with an original Greyhound hood ornament, period correct fog lights, spotlight, and wire wheels. The odometer show 79,000 miles  and looks orginal, although it cannot be verified.  Note the original decals on the air cleaner and other engine parts.
Simply a great early V-8 Ford ready to enjoy.   $52,500.

1969 Goggomobile 250

classic cars for sale | collector cars for sale


The Goggo Coupe was truly a remarkable little car. Although dwarfed by a VW Bettle in size, the interior room is amazing. In addition, there is a bench seat in the rear area for small children. The spacious interior sports a 4 speed floor shifter, an instrument cluster in front of the driver, and a tiny glove box for “gloves” or sunglasses. $27,500.00
A 293 c.c. air cooled 2 cycle engine in mounted in the rear and provides plenty of power for this 1014 pound micro car.  Fuel mileage exceeds 40 mpg and can be up to 47 mpg on the highway.  Therefore, the 6.6 gallon fuel tank is certainly not a handicap on the Goggo.   
This car is in excellent shape and can be shown with pride at any Concour Event—and probably he the “hit” of the Show—while getting lots of laughs at the same time.

The 1931 Cadillac 370-A V12  Roadster sports an exceptionally fresh nut and bolt, body-off restoration. With virtually zero miles registered since the restoration, the dark blue and gray Cadillac is simply outstanding in every regard. The car is very nicely appointed with a blue Hartz cloth top with a complimenting blue leather interior. Both are in excellent condition. This Roadster is complete with dual side mounts with mirrors, stainless spoke wheels, wide whitewalls, wind wings, a set of Trippe lights, a golf club door, a rumble seat and a luggage rack fitted with a metal low boy trunk.

 When seated behind the wheel you will discover that not only does this roadster drive wonderful, but it also cruises along with the finesse and flare only a classic multi cylinder Cadillac can provide.
 

1913 Peerless 48

FINALLY DONE AND READY TO SHOW.  This amazing huge Roadster has a great storied past.  
This massive Peerless is powered by a 49.6 hp, 577.5 cu. In. T-head six cylinder engine.
The wheelbase is a staggering 137 inches long.
This particular Peerless was actually used as a power source by the La Jolla Mining Company after its usefulness as an automobile was no longer needed.  It was driven to the mining operation over 90 years ago and destined to be a workhorse for the miners.
In 1965, the great Peerless was discovered by a helicopter pilot and friend of a Peerless Collector.  The entire story of the retrieval of the remains is described in a great story by the collector in 1966 after a huge helicopter and a team of 14 people retrieved the find.  (see picutre)
The story, in the HCC Gazette is fascinating to read.   Dubbed “The old man of the Mountain” the first restoration was 90 percent finished 15 years later.  After completion, the Peerless was shown at Pebble Beach in 1984.  It was then placed on long term display in a small mining museum until 2008. 
It is now totally restored and ready for the Show field again.

1953 Nash Healey LeMans Coupe


classic cars for sale | collector cars for sale

Production started in 1950 after a chance meeting of Donald Healey and Nash’s George Mason. The original car was steel, body by Panelcraft of England, chassis by Healey and engine by Nash. By 1952 the body was restyled by Pinn Farina and the chassis was special built by Healey. Nash upgraded the engine to develop 140 hp with its “LeMans Jetfire” overhead-valve inline six cylinder, dual carburetor creation. In 1953, with a longer wheelbase (108 inches), a coupe body was fashioned for the all aluminum main body. A tachometer, leather upholstery, and rear quarter windows made the Healey a true GT car rivaling Europe’s best. This Nash Healey was restored from an excellent original car and has been part of a private collection.

1949 MG TC



The MG-TC was the first Engish sportscar to win the hearts of the  American public.  Many of the TC's were purchased after WW II by American soldiers and imported to the States.  This MG is an export model (XPAG 9050) and was destined for export. 
Finished in BRG (British racing green) and restored over 20 years ago, it is still in excellent condition and shows very little wear.  The only exception being that the tan top has faded.
The TC starts on the first try and drives very well. Every collection should have a TC !!
