[1968 Excalibur SS Roadster - $25,000]

I guess that you could call these the "Uber Gazelle!"

 

In a way, this might be what later kit Mercedes were trying to copy. These were the work of Brooks Stevens, and the prototype was Studebaker based. I think one reason I like them is they make me think of Briggs Cunningham's Bu-Merc!

I always thought it was the ozone that wrecked the rubber. I remember a 6th grade science experiment where we took an old pair of Mom's panty hose and put them over a bent up coat hanger in the back yard. In about 2 or 3 weeks they fell apart. I supposed the UV could have been a big part of that as well. I'd run the experiment again now, to see if all the clean air regulations have made a difference, but I don't think the required materials are readily available anymore! I do believe (based on my old Nordic skin) there is more UV now.

I always wonder about cars that are for sale for years. Obviously, it's a wrong price, but do they actually want to sell? Doesn't seem so. 

If that's the case, why bother? 

[1968 Excalibur SS Roadster - $25,000]

I know...  "Neoclassic" cars like the Clenet make me think of Liberace, but I have to admit the very first Excaliburs (like this), have some appeal. (more pics in ad)

The best of all circa 50s pick ups in my opinion. Seems like a very good deal if as represented.

In sunny parts of the country, some people put covers over tires on cars parked outside to keep the UV from prematurely rotting the tires. It does help quite a bit IF the covers aren't too thin or near clear.

Lighting in the pictures is awful! Can't see enough details. I suspect it may be earlier than 1928 even. Being a truck it may have features of earlier model cars, allowing for the radiator and shell style, as well as the drum headlamps. Long running boards were not typical on most trucks that era. Although Chevrolet in 1929 on a six cylinder truck with the "express" pickup bed did have long running boards.

This truck might be as late as 1928, or possibly as early as 1925?

Oh Yes...drum headlights. I think your guess of '25 is probably good. I hope who ever bought it brings in back to life in some way. the good news from our point of view is there isn't enough there to "hot rod".

I like it a lot, but those shiny valve covers make the rest of the engine compartment look bad. 

[1915 Ford Model T “Speedster” - $8,995]

I've never seen this double spring front suspension before and I'm not at all sure it would be a performance advantage. 

Also those blocked out faces remind me of my mother's "True Detective" magazines from the 50's where black bars often appeared across the faces of people supposedly doing evil deeds! 

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/moraga-1915-ford-model-speedster/7732543033.html

This 1915 original Speedster is a true testament that car enthusiasts are always trying to figure out how to make cars go faster - even over 100 years ago. During the early era of Ford Model T’s, racers would lighten their cars by stripping everything but the seats off the car, add a circular windshield, and attempt to stiffen the suspension. This car has all that and more including extra parts. Runs well (for a 109 year old car) and creates smiles and waves wherever it is driven.

I am happy to start and drive the car for serious buyers with cash but there will be no “test drives” as these cars have very different controls than modern day cars. (same rule applied when I bought it).

Hard to assign a price to the car - in my mind it’s priceless - only selling because I bought another antique race car and have no more room.

Happy to take offers higher or lower depending on interest and won’t work with anyone looking for lowball deals.

[Malcolm Campbell’s workshop]

from the Pre-War car website: (pretty nice shop clothes!...and how many jack stands are there? ) 

We're inside Malcolm Campbell’s workshop in Surrey in 1928, with the man himself proudly leaning on the workbench in full knickerbocker glory. Campbell was London’s Bugatti concessionaire, so he must have driven quite a few examples of France’s finest in England. Is this the 1926 Type 35 he is said to have owned privately?

The dealership labor rates from what I have heard are about $180.00/hour here in the Detroit area which are probably representative of any large metro area.

I'm an hour North of San Francisco in a farm town where the tallest building is a grain elevator. The local Chevy dealer gets $220 an hour and a grand daughter is working at In-n- Out Burger. She gets $22.50/hr.

I wouldn’t say the paint scheme ALWAYS looks bad. It’s unique for sure. Without the definite paint stop after the trim it looks odd but I’ve seen much worse ideas. What I do find concerning is that it claims the original engine is in it and one of the pictures shows the Cadillac blue engine. However another picture of it shows an engine in Chevy small block orange..

Ha! Good catch...you can't pull a fast one on this forum!
