2006 M3 6 speed manual shift

1955 Chevy 3100 with a 454 cu. in. V8

1966 Eldorado

 1964 Eldorado

1939 Fleetwood 60 Special Derham Leather Top Town Car, one of 4 known in existence, records of delivery when new in Philadelphia.  A very original Town Car with ownership history dating back to the early 70’s.  

1964 Eldorado with factory original colors, black paint and red leather.  55,000 original miles, known history, last year for tail fins, x frame, and the mid engine placement (yes the ’59 to ’64 Cadillac’s were all very low slung x frames with engines placed low and well back of the center of the front wheels).  These car don’t have the understeer or heaviness in front the later Cadillac’s had.  Most people can’t tell this due to their slow steering, soft springs, and period brakes, but they are far superior handling Caddy’s .  The seats below are perforated leather as original.

 

 1966 Eldorado with 65k original miles, factory bucket seats (and yes that is the original interior leather, wood, and carpet!) with console, and 50,000 original miles.

 1967 Mercedes 250 SE, sunroof, automatic transmission, European model that was delivered new in Nuremburg.  Bare metal repaint in original color, all chrome, wood, and leather redone as well.  Thank you to Mercedes Benz Classic Center for your help and the original build data.  I replaced the American dual headlamps back to the original one piece Euro ones.  This car was optioned with only one headrest on the passenger seat, which I have.  It was also a radio delete car with a power antenna.  

 

 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Delegance with rare sunroof and low miles.  Los Angeles car since new with 6.0 Liter big block gasoline V8.  Original paint except for the bumper fillers.  Last of the carbureted big block Cadillacs.  Interior is just to die for.

1987 911 Carrera with 58,000 miles, rare full leather interior, sport seats, rear fog light, factory front chin spoiler and rear whale tail.  Very original and well maintained.  Solid little beast  

1987 Cadillac Brougham with 7.5 Liter V8 engine.  39,000 miles on the car.  This car has the rare 1988 only aluminum wheels with mandatory wire hubcaps.  I have had fun dressing it with regular period correct Brougham caps and then earlier Fleetwood Delegance color matched caps.  Yes this car has had the original factory installed 5.0 Liter Oldsmobile gas V8 removed by the original owner and in its place resides a 1968/69 Oldsmobile 7.5 Liter with minor tweaks.  Turbo 400 transmission was installed to handle the extra power.  Smooth and quiet but now with the power to make driving comparable to a LT-1 powered Fleetwood.  Cruise control, AC/heat, etc., are all working as designed when new.

 

1991 Z28 ultra rare 1 LE option car, Magazine car, 5.7 Liter, full documented history, please click on current cars link at the top of the page for a full run down on this special car.

1992 Ls400, bought new in Dallas, went to Nashville for several years, and then returned to Dallas.  All of this under the original owner.  54,000 original miles, not low for most cars but very low for a LS.  Nakamichi, Air Suspension,  and Traction Control.  All original paint

 2006 M3 with 6 spd. manual shift, CA and NM car since records, no repaint, maintenance records

 2007 CLK63 with low miles.  520 hp with some Renntech mods.  Plano Texas car since new.

 2011 Ferrari California, my first Ferrari
