Change for the meter?: ’70 Porsche 911E mit Sunroof

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

1970 Porsche 911E

Such a potentially nice car with such poorly thought out photos. A parking meter…really? We usually punish a seller by refusing to post a car that is not properly presented. But this is a very intriguing 911E that left the factory wearing silver paint and sports a sunroof. Silver is such a great color on an early 911. Many white or brown cars have been changed to silver. This one has a Certificate of Authenticity attesting to the color. But it isn’t just the color. Read More

Lively One: ’62 Ford Galaxie 500XL Club Victoria, 1 of 1

1962 Ford Galaxie G-Code

Before there were muscle cars, there were cars with muscle; big bruisers with lots of horsepower and lots of sheetmetal. Today’s featured car is one of those big bruisers. In 1960, Ford, trying to catch Chevy in the sales race, introduced an all-new car. The Galaxie versions were the top of the line, and for 1960, it was a model series instead of a sub-series of the Fairlane 500. Ford was responding to Chevy’s Super Sports and supported the big Galaxie with an ad campaign called “the lively ones”. Despite being an all-new car, Ford’s rival still outsold them by 215,000 cars. The 1961 Galaxie was reskinned from the glass house down and lost the distinct look of the 1960 cars. Read More

Great Racer: ’41 Studebaker Champion

Category: Your Pick Tags: , 2 Comments

1941 Studebaker Champion

It is appropriate that one of the owners of this sweet little car felt compelled to enter it into the 1st Great American Race. You see back in the day the Champion was indeed a champion – in fuel economy. The mantra at Studebaker in 1938 was “weight is the enemy”. We wonder if Colin Chapman worked there? Because it was light and powered by a stingy 78hp inline 6, it was a consistent winner of the Mobilgas Economy Run. Read More

Mellow Yellow: ’71 Triumph Stag

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

1971 Triumph Stag fr

We featured a rare Triumph Stag with a manual transmission during the summer and then this nice automatic shows up. Years have gone by without seeing a decent Stag and then we come across two. Giovanni Michelotti took over as Triumph’s chief stylist and he really mixed things up. Most of the work of Michelotti was an immediate success. And then there was the Stag. The Stag was designed years ago by Les Moore. Giovanni revised the idea and the result was undeniably a handsome, a 4-seater with both hard top and soft top. To help stiffen the body, a T-bar stayed in place when the tops were removed. Approximately 25,000 Stag were made and around 7,500 were exported. The Stag is powered by a 2,997-cc, 145-hp V-8 that was based on two SOHC Triumph-built Saab 99 engines back to back, with aluminum cylinder heads.
