1956 Pontiac Safari Two-Door Station Wagon

classic cars for sale | collector cars for sale

As befits its rarity, this fine example has been the recipient of a thorough restoration, completed circa 2005. The wonderfully period colors of Sun Beige and Sandalwood Tan in which it is finished are those in which it was delivered from the factory in Wilmington, Delaware, as confirmed by the data plate. It also boasted the 'Comfort and Convenience package', including tissue dispenser, from new. Also displayed is a rare lighted 1956 Pontiac Hood Ornament!
  Engine is the 317cid V8, Pontiac Strat-o-Streak rated at 227hp and automatic transmission, which were both rebuilt. The speedometer was rebuilt at the time of restoration and shows less than 1,000 miles driven since restored. The original clock has been converted to quartz along with a upgraded radio, rebuilt power steering box, new Coker white wall tires, tissue dispenser, front bumper push bar, new dual exhaust ran correctly through the frame, fuel tank cleaned and reconditioned, brakes all rebuilt.  Since completion of the restoration this Safari has seen very limited use but has enjoyed regular and diligent maintenance.
 An interesting footnote to the history of this Safari is that it was once owned by Bob Shane, lead singer of 'The Kingston Trio'. A large binder of documentation including an original owner's manual and historical information accompanies the car, including a photo of the car during Shane's ownership, with his autograph.

This 1955 Cadillac received a frame off restoration with a completion date in spring 2012. The body was removed from the frame featuring a true body off restoration. This Eldorado is a nicely optioned car from the factory, with power brakes, power steering, power seat, and power windows, parade boot as well as the factory AM radio option and the unique Autronic Eye feature.
The entire interior is new, from the fresh and correct carpets to the blue seats. The wonderful interior is matched outside, with outstanding new Bahama blue paint, fresh chrome, and a brand new white convertible top. The trademark Sabre Wheels, made by Alcoa for Kelsey-Hayes, are likewise in excellent condition. The entire drive train is numbers matching to the car, and has been fully restored to factory condition.
The big 270 horsepower V-8 is fed by a pair of Rochester four-barrel carbs, which look like new and are also original to the car. The engine compartment is clean and impressive, with all components either restored to original or replaced with correct parts. The four-speed Hydra-Matic transmission shifts smoothly, and the entire car is highly detailed and presented as new.
With just a few beak-in miles since the restoration was completed the car is ready to be the centerpiece of your collection. The car is a pinnacle of General Motors engineering and a legendary Harley Earl design. A true blue chip investment!
Price $98,500.00

While Cadillac marketed a full model range, the Five-Passenger Phaeton remains a favorite of enthusiasts to this day. This fully restored example earned National First Place honors at the New England Region Cadillac-LaSalle show, held in Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 2008. It is very nicely finished in blue with black fenders and a black radiator shell, complete with a beautifully fitted black folding top, nickel-plated brass components, rear-mounted spare tires and artillery wheels with whitewall tires. The interior is trimmed with button-tufted black leather upholstery. The car has been sorted  and tested, making it a proven and reliable tour car.  Offered in show-winning condition, this is certainly a wonderful example of refined Nickel Era Luxury.

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.
