[email protected] 5527 Lakeview Road, Charlotte, NC, 28269, US 1967 Buick GS400 9,690 Actual Mile Award Winning GS400 V8 4 Speed Year: 1967 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Black Mileage: 9661 Transmission type: 4 Speed Manual Engine: 400 V8 Interior color: Yellow Vehicle info We've all heard the Cinderella stories about fully documented survivor cars that one owner fastidiously preserves and another owner stumbles upon and turns into gold. The problem is most of those fairy tales involve models that are very common in collector car folklore and, despite high five or even six digit price tags, almost always have equally impressive peers. Well, as you all know, the dedicated staff at RK Motors Charlotte specializes in both rare AND unique automobiles. And our latest one-of-a-kind offering, this custom ordered 9,645 mile Buick GS 400, is the nicest '67 survivor we've ever seen and undoubtedly the finest unrestored Buick in the world. As an all original head turner that's spent most of its life in the hands of one dedicated owner, it's the perfect piece for any collector who wants a first rate classic with an outstanding history. And best of all, the car is fully documented from its original window sticker all the way to its recent feature in Hemmings Muscle Machines. If you're looking for some killer blue chip muscle that has an amazing story and even more impressive provenance, Buick built it and RK Motors Charlotte is selling it! Our story begins roughly six years ago when this time capsule tri-shield's current owner was strolling through a national Buick event and noticed the car's peculiar yellow interior. As the second generation owner of a GM dealership he had spent most of his early years watching the best of Detroit's power-happy creations roll straight off the truck and straight into the showroom, so he certainly knew a unique color combination when he saw it. It wasn't long before an older gentleman confirmed the car was for sale and then confirmed it was indeed an all original 1967 GS 400 that had racked up only 9K miles in almost 40 years. After a bit of small talk a few weeks of negotiations commenced and the older gentleman, who certainly knew what he had, agreed to one lump sum payment of cash. It took a little time for the car's current owner to round up the Benjamins, but after visiting four banks and securing a cooler to carry the money in, he headed to Virginia to pick up his new one-of-a-kind muscle car. Only after hands were shook and the older gentleman and his wife had finished counting the money did they decide to reveal the car's whole story and shed light on how it managed to survive in essentially showroom fresh condition. The older gentleman, love struck and ready to settle down, wanted to impress his soon to be bride by special ordering Buick's hottest new model from Blue Ridge Motors in Roanoke, Virginia. Every red-blooded car guy knows that girls love fast cars, so the division's Stage 1 400 with no power steering and no air conditioning was mandatory equipment. A trailer package, which provided stiffer rear springs, and an M20 Muncie 4-speed were thrown in for good measure. And last but not least, the car's interior HAD to match his future wife's gorgeous blonde hair. Unfortunately, as we all know, nothing in this life is guaranteed and the bride to be found another man before the badass GS even rolled off the assembly line. The gentleman was crushed but decided to take the car anyway and ended up tucking it away in his father's basement for the better part of 38 years. When the gentleman's pre-ordered Buick arrived at Roanoke's Blue Ridge Motors, the dealer took a little Windex and plastered the car's original window sticker to the inside of its black decklid. That 45 year old window sticker, which has remained on the car's decklid ever since, breaks down as follows: BUICK GS400 2-DOOR SPORT COUPE: $3,019 STANDARD EQUIPMENT:Deluxe steering wheelCarpetingDual hornsFoam padded seat cushionsDual exhaustAsh tray lightGlove compartment lightWhite or red stripe wide oval tiresHeavy duty Energizer OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT:193: Vinyl Strato Bucket seats ($68.46)M20: Floor shifted 4-speed transmission ($184.31)J50: Power brakes ($41.60)U63: Sonomatic radio with manual antenna ($64.25)U80: Rear seat speaker ($16.64)G80: Positive traction differential ($42.13)G50: Trailer towing option ($3.69)A39: Custom front and rear seatbelts ($6.32)A01: Soft Ray tinted glass ($30.54)B93: Door guards ($4.74)W22: Electric clock and trunk light ($17.90)P05: Chrome plated wheels ($90.58)B85: Belt reveal moldings ($14.74) TOTAL OPTIONS: $585.90 TOTAL VEHICLE PRICE: $3,604.90 Few traditional Buick buyers would ever think of ordering their new luxury car in a sinister coat of GM's code A black. Fewer still would ever dream of accenting that wet looking pigment with a pair of bright red pin stripes. But that's exactly what the original owner of this GS did; and today, thanks to hardly ever seeing sun, rain or street time, the car's mirror-like finish is a largely flaw-free celebration of lacquer laden originality. That said, the body' glossy panels are not devoid of all character like so many fresh frame-off restorations. Rather, they carry just the right amount of wear under a soft shine that simply cannot be duplicated with today's perfected basecoat/clearcoat paint process. Under that vintage single-stage paint, all original OEM sheetmetal shows no signs of botched repairs, accident damage or cancerous rust. And overall, this Buick is as close to factory perfect as a five decades removed classic can get. For 1967 the GS graduated from an options package to a full model line that featured small aesthetic tweaks and a lot more attitude. The result was a substantial looking car which managed to feel more upscale than its GM stable mates while retaining the same broad shouldered, all-American attitude. At the front of this Buick's long body, a broad chrome bumper hangs clear, square marker lights below a deep-set grille which centers a concave divider between red GS ornamentation and four silver-trimmed T3 headlights. At the top of the body, a canted "BUICK" script fronts a sculpted hood which flows to factory glass that's capped by chrome drip rails, bordered by well-maintained stainless trim and cleared by satin finished wiper arms. At the sides of the body, ribbed rocker trim combines with fresh stainless wheel well trim to parallel factory ventiports, original "GS400" quarter emblems, traditional chrome door handles and Buick branded mirrors. And at the back of this Buick, a second chrome bumper centers like-new reverse lamps below a black "GS400" branded rear valence, a second canted "BUICK" script and stylish, stainless-trimmed tail lights. Of special interest are the factory installed rocker panel moldings. Talk to many casual Buick GS "experts" and they will tell you these were not available in 1967. This only means they haven't actually seen them before-but these are originals and the car was delivered with them new! Since GM's 'doctors and lawyers' division decided to get serious about their performance image, they also upped the ante in the engine compartment by equipping their newly christened GS with a first rendition of their now legendary big block V8. Hoist this car's glossy black hood and you'll find 400 cubic inches of untouched, original Buick muscle that produces 340 horsepower, spins stout 10.25 to 1 compression into 440 lb./ft. of torque, and wears a correct 1381624 casting number above a 1967-exclusive NR assembly stamp. At the top of that sinister red block, a familiar Rochester Quadrajet carburetor mixes air from Buick's trademark 'Star Wars' air cleaner with dino juice that's supplied by original stainless fuel lines. At the sides of that carburetor, original semi-wedge heads hang "400-4" branded valve covers over deep breathing cast iron exhaust manifolds. In front of those manifolds, a traditional points distributor shoots fire through authentic Packard TV R Suppression wires. And in front of that distributor, a gloss black radiator circulates coolant through pliable original hoses and authentic tower clamps. In addition to its killer powerplant, this GS maintains a correctly detailed engine bay that's complete with a '67 model washer tank, a Delco Energizer battery and an original brake booster which still wears a "UA" branded assembly tag. Aesthetically, the car's satin black fenders perfectly complement both its bright red engine block and factory-equipped hood insulation. And mechanically this awesome Buick is in outstanding original condition, performing just as well now as when it rolled out of Blue Ridge Motors' Roanoke showroom. At the bottom of this stunning survivor a clean undercarriage tells a long story of excellent maintenance and carefully chosen road time. Naturally the GS hotter engine needed a better drivetrain to effectively establish street credibility, so Buick complemented the car's styling tweaks with a few mechanical adjustments and a number of strengthened components. At the center of the floors a rugged, and original, M20 Muncie 4-speed transmission hangs a correct 3885010 casting number and a Muncie (P) assembled on June (H) 19th (19) 1967 (7) build stamp in front of an original Posi-traction Salisbury rear end that's complete with oversize axle shafts. At the ends of that drivetrain an original heavy duty suspension, which includes thicker sway bars, better shocks, stiffer springs and the aforementioned trailer towing upgrade, combines with Buick's familiar power assisted aluminum drums up front and power-assisted steel drums out back to provide quick stops and great handling. And at the corners of that chassis, power flows to the pavement through original 14 inch Buick Sport wheels which spin original F70-14 Goodyear Custom Wide Tread Polyglas redlines around clean red, white and blue center caps. Speaking of floors the car's straight and solid pans, which are bolted to Buick's heavy duty convertible frame, still hang 99% of their satin black paint over satin black suspension components that still retain much of their factory shine. Spent gases flow through original factory pipes that still employ assembly line correct, GM stamped mufflers. And, based on a quick visual inspection, all the car's hardware and bushings appear to be in good, road-ready condition. Climb inside this timeless Buick muscle car and you'll find a completely original GM code 193 interior that is both comfortable and appealing. As the story goes, this unique color combination came about because the owner of the car wanted vinyl that matched his beloved fianc's blonde hair. Fortunately, even though their love for one another waivered and faded, this GS' interior has remained youthful and true. Covered in original Madrid Grain surfaces (Buick speak for high quality vinyl), the car's firm front bucket and rear bench seats are comfortable, solid and provide spacious seating for at least five. At the center of the cockpit, an optional stainless trimmed consolette props a Buick factory tachometer and an original black shifter above like-new black carpet, heavy duty rubber floor mats and optional Fisher lap belts. Above that consolette, a warp-free dash hangs bright silver trim between original gauges, an original AM/FM radio and a dealer installed stainless tissue dispenser. At the sides of the seats, original yellow door panels feature bright "GS400" emblems, great looking trim, stain-free armrests and pit-free chrome handles. And at the top of the car, a tight black headliner looks as good as the day it left the assembly line. Connecting the driver to the road is a great looking original steering wheel which prominently displays a modernist design theme around a small red, white and blue Buick emblem. And behind the passengers, an optional rear speaker hangs over a super clean trunk that's equipped with original factory decals, an original spare tire and the car's original dealer-applied window sticker. It should come as no surprise that, when this epic tri-shield came out of hiding, it began racking up some serious accolades. Here's a comprehensive list of its recent awards and accomplishments:Featured in the 2010 edition of Hemmings calendarFeatured in the July 2008 edition of Hemmings Muscle MachinesConcours Gold winner at the 2008 Buick GS Nationals in Bowling Green, Kentucky1999 AACA National First Prize winner But wait, there's more.

Buick : Other GS 9,690 Actual Mile Award Winning GS400 V8 4 Speed

$99,900

Charlotte, North Carolina

[email protected] 5527 Lakeview Road, Charlotte, NC, 28269, US 1967 Buick GS400 9,690 Actual Mile Award Winning GS400 V8 4 Speed Year: 1967 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Black Mileage: 9661 Transmission type: 4 Speed Manual Engine: 400 V8 Interior color: Yellow Vehicle info We've all heard the Cinderella stories about fully documented survivor cars that one owner fastidiously preserves and another owner stumbles upon and turns into gold. The problem is most of those fairy tales involve models that are very common in collector car folklore and, despite high five or even six digit price tags, almost always have equally impressive peers. Well, as you all know, the dedicated staff at RK Motors Charlotte specializes in both rare AND unique automobiles. And our latest one-of-a-kind offering, this custom ordered 9,645 mile Buick GS 400, is the nicest '67 survivor we've ever seen and undoubtedly the finest unrestored Buick in the world. As an all original head turner that's spent most of its life in the hands of one dedicated owner, it's the perfect piece for any collector who wants a first rate classic with an outstanding history. And best of all, the car is fully documented from its original window sticker all the way to its recent feature in Hemmings Muscle Machines. If you're looking for some killer blue chip muscle that has an amazing story and even more impressive provenance, Buick built it and RK Motors Charlotte is selling it! Our story begins roughly six years ago when this time capsule tri-shield's current owner was strolling through a national Buick event and noticed the car's peculiar yellow interior. As the second generation owner of a GM dealership he had spent most of his early years watching the best of Detroit's power-happy creations roll straight off the truck and straight into the showroom, so he certainly knew a unique color combination when he saw it. It wasn't long before an older gentleman confirmed the car was for sale and then confirmed it was indeed an all original 1967 GS 400 that had racked up only 9K miles in almost 40 years. After a bit of small talk a few weeks of negotiations commenced and the older gentleman, who certainly knew what he had, agreed to one lump sum payment of cash. It took a little time for the car's current owner to round up the Benjamins, but after visiting four banks and securing a cooler to carry the money in, he headed to Virginia to pick up his new one-of-a-kind muscle car. Only after hands were shook and the older gentleman and his wife had finished counting the money did they decide to reveal the car's whole story and shed light on how it managed to survive in essentially showroom fresh condition. The older gentleman, love struck and ready to settle down, wanted to impress his soon to be bride by special ordering Buick's hottest new model from Blue Ridge Motors in Roanoke, Virginia. Every red-blooded car guy knows that girls love fast cars, so the division's Stage 1 400 with no power steering and no air conditioning was mandatory equipment. A trailer package, which provided stiffer rear springs, and an M20 Muncie 4-speed were thrown in for good measure. And last but not least, the car's interior HAD to match his future wife's gorgeous blonde hair. Unfortunately, as we all know, nothing in this life is guaranteed and the bride to be found another man before the badass GS even rolled off the assembly line. The gentleman was crushed but decided to take the car anyway and ended up tucking it away in his father's basement for the better part of 38 years. When the gentleman's pre-ordered Buick arrived at Roanoke's Blue Ridge Motors, the dealer took a little Windex and plastered the car's original window sticker to the inside of its black decklid. That 45 year old window sticker, which has remained on the car's decklid ever since, breaks down as follows: BUICK GS400 2-DOOR SPORT COUPE: $3,019 STANDARD EQUIPMENT:Deluxe steering wheelCarpetingDual hornsFoam padded seat cushionsDual exhaustAsh tray lightGlove compartment lightWhite or red stripe wide oval tiresHeavy duty Energizer OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT:193: Vinyl Strato Bucket seats ($68.46)M20: Floor shifted 4-speed transmission ($184.31)J50: Power brakes ($41.60)U63: Sonomatic radio with manual antenna ($64.25)U80: Rear seat speaker ($16.64)G80: Positive traction differential ($42.13)G50: Trailer towing option ($3.69)A39: Custom front and rear seatbelts ($6.32)A01: Soft Ray tinted glass ($30.54)B93: Door guards ($4.74)W22: Electric clock and trunk light ($17.90)P05: Chrome plated wheels ($90.58)B85: Belt reveal moldings ($14.74) TOTAL OPTIONS: $585.90 TOTAL VEHICLE PRICE: $3,604.90 Few traditional Buick buyers would ever think of ordering their new luxury car in a sinister coat of GM's code A black. Fewer still would ever dream of accenting that wet looking pigment with a pair of bright red pin stripes. But that's exactly what the original owner of this GS did; and today, thanks to hardly ever seeing sun, rain or street time, the car's mirror-like finish is a largely flaw-free celebration of lacquer laden originality. That said, the body' glossy panels are not devoid of all character like so many fresh frame-off restorations. Rather, they carry just the right amount of wear under a soft shine that simply cannot be duplicated with today's perfected basecoat/clearcoat paint process. Under that vintage single-stage paint, all original OEM sheetmetal shows no signs of botched repairs, accident damage or cancerous rust. And overall, this Buick is as close to factory perfect as a five decades removed classic can get. For 1967 the GS graduated from an options package to a full model line that featured small aesthetic tweaks and a lot more attitude. The result was a substantial looking car which managed to feel more upscale than its GM stable mates while retaining the same broad shouldered, all-American attitude. At the front of this Buick's long body, a broad chrome bumper hangs clear, square marker lights below a deep-set grille which centers a concave divider between red GS ornamentation and four silver-trimmed T3 headlights. At the top of the body, a canted "BUICK" script fronts a sculpted hood which flows to factory glass that's capped by chrome drip rails, bordered by well-maintained stainless trim and cleared by satin finished wiper arms. At the sides of the body, ribbed rocker trim combines with fresh stainless wheel well trim to parallel factory ventiports, original "GS400" quarter emblems, traditional chrome door handles and Buick branded mirrors. And at the back of this Buick, a second chrome bumper centers like-new reverse lamps below a black "GS400" branded rear valence, a second canted "BUICK" script and stylish, stainless-trimmed tail lights. Of special interest are the factory installed rocker panel moldings. Talk to many casual Buick GS "experts" and they will tell you these were not available in 1967. This only means they haven't actually seen them before-but these are originals and the car was delivered with them new! Since GM's 'doctors and lawyers' division decided to get serious about their performance image, they also upped the ante in the engine compartment by equipping their newly christened GS with a first rendition of their now legendary big block V8. Hoist this car's glossy black hood and you'll find 400 cubic inches of untouched, original Buick muscle that produces 340 horsepower, spins stout 10.25 to 1 compression into 440 lb./ft. of torque, and wears a correct 1381624 casting number above a 1967-exclusive NR assembly stamp. At the top of that sinister red block, a familiar Rochester Quadrajet carburetor mixes air from Buick's trademark 'Star Wars' air cleaner with dino juice that's supplied by original stainless fuel lines. At the sides of that carburetor, original semi-wedge heads hang "400-4" branded valve covers over deep breathing cast iron exhaust manifolds. In front of those manifolds, a traditional points distributor shoots fire through authentic Packard TV R Suppression wires. And in front of that distributor, a gloss black radiator circulates coolant through pliable original hoses and authentic tower clamps. In addition to its killer powerplant, this GS maintains a correctly detailed engine bay that's complete with a '67 model washer tank, a Delco Energizer battery and an original brake booster which still wears a "UA" branded assembly tag. Aesthetically, the car's satin black fenders perfectly complement both its bright red engine block and factory-equipped hood insulation. And mechanically this awesome Buick is in outstanding original condition, performing just as well now as when it rolled out of Blue Ridge Motors' Roanoke showroom. At the bottom of this stunning survivor a clean undercarriage tells a long story of excellent maintenance and carefully chosen road time. Naturally the GS hotter engine needed a better drivetrain to effectively establish street credibility, so Buick complemented the car's styling tweaks with a few mechanical adjustments and a number of strengthened components. At the center of the floors a rugged, and original, M20 Muncie 4-speed transmission hangs a correct 3885010 casting number and a Muncie (P) assembled on June (H) 19th (19) 1967 (7) build stamp in front of an original Posi-traction Salisbury rear end that's complete with oversize axle shafts. At the ends of that drivetrain an original heavy duty suspension, which includes thicker sway bars, better shocks, stiffer springs and the aforementioned trailer towing upgrade, combines with Buick's familiar power assisted aluminum drums up front and power-assisted steel drums out back to provide quick stops and great handling. And at the corners of that chassis, power flows to the pavement through original 14 inch Buick Sport wheels which spin original F70-14 Goodyear Custom Wide Tread Polyglas redlines around clean red, white and blue center caps. Speaking of floors the car's straight and solid pans, which are bolted to Buick's heavy duty convertible frame, still hang 99% of their satin black paint over satin black suspension components that still retain much of their factory shine. Spent gases flow through original factory pipes that still employ assembly line correct, GM stamped mufflers. And, based on a quick visual inspection, all the car's hardware and bushings appear to be in good, road-ready condition. Climb inside this timeless Buick muscle car and you'll find a completely original GM code 193 interior that is both comfortable and appealing. As the story goes, this unique color combination came about because the owner of the car wanted vinyl that matched his beloved fianc's blonde hair. Fortunately, even though their love for one another waivered and faded, this GS' interior has remained youthful and true. Covered in original Madrid Grain surfaces (Buick speak for high quality vinyl), the car's firm front bucket and rear bench seats are comfortable, solid and provide spacious seating for at least five. At the center of the cockpit, an optional stainless trimmed consolette props a Buick factory tachometer and an original black shifter above like-new black carpet, heavy duty rubber floor mats and optional Fisher lap belts. Above that consolette, a warp-free dash hangs bright silver trim between original gauges, an original AM/FM radio and a dealer installed stainless tissue dispenser. At the sides of the seats, original yellow door panels feature bright "GS400" emblems, great looking trim, stain-free armrests and pit-free chrome handles. And at the top of the car, a tight black headliner looks as good as the day it left the assembly line. Connecting the driver to the road is a great looking original steering wheel which prominently displays a modernist design theme around a small red, white and blue Buick emblem. And behind the passengers, an optional rear speaker hangs over a super clean trunk that's equipped with original factory decals, an original spare tire and the car's original dealer-applied window sticker. It should come as no surprise that, when this epic tri-shield came out of hiding, it began racking up some serious accolades. Here's a comprehensive list of its recent awards and accomplishments:Featured in the 2010 edition of Hemmings calendarFeatured in the July 2008 edition of Hemmings Muscle MachinesConcours Gold winner at the 2008 Buick GS Nationals in Bowling Green, Kentucky1999 AACA National First Prize winner But wait, there's more. Like all of RK Motors Charlotte's investment grade muscle cars this clean GS comes with a stack of documentation that includes:The original window sticker outlined aboveThe car's original Protect-O-PlateThe car's original owner's manual and accessory paperworkRandom 1967 Buick marketing materialsAn original sticker and plaque from Blue Ridge MotorsDated inspection and accessory receipts that document the car's mileageA certified and framed letter from the car's original owner that reaffirms its survivor statusThe car's 1999 AACA National First Prize plaqueA copy of the Car's Hemmings Muscle Machines featureThe car's 2008 Buick GS Nationals Concours Gold plaqueA copy of the car's Hemmings calendar featureA detailed display board If you're a fan of 60s Detroit muscle that's as pure as the day it left the assembly line, it just doesn't get any better than this awesome black Buick!

This car was built by the best and most talented people I know. I own a Larry Rathburn built car. I will never part with it. In fact he is building me a beautiful roadster right now. This is an important opportunity for a serious enthusiast. Chassis & Driveline: Custom surface plate, jig-built chassis by Allegheny Speed Shop. Re-contoured 1932 Ford frame rails, kicked at the rear. Custom dropped and vee'd front axle with caster adjustable custom chrome radius rods and rear mounted transverse spring. Buick finned aluminum drum brakes. A Frankland Championship quick-change rear axle (open), with 31 spline Ford axles is mounted on 1947 Ford radius arms modified for adjustments to pinion angle.

The wheels and hubcaps are 1936 Ford 16s with 195/80 and 215/85 Radials front and rear. Yes, the lettering on the sidewalls was buffed off. The cooling system features a custom aluminum radiator with a unique symmetrical upper tank with inlet and outlets paired at the top. The mechanical fan pulls air through a handmade shroud. Finned alloy overflow tank. Exhaust is through a set of Chevy ram's horns and runs to the rear in beautifully crafted polished stainless pipes with a cutout right in front of each rear tire. Fuel and brake lines are stainless. So are the radiator and heater plumbing and the vacuum lines. Engine & Transmission: Chevrolet 283 C.I.D. V-8, 1.94 heads, triple Rochester 2 Bbl. carburetors on a rare Edelbrock C355 aluminum intake manifold, Edelbrock finned aluminum valve covers, solid lifter cam.

The pickup bed is shortened and houses a 16 gallon stainless steel fuel tank, a hidden tool box and some decent luggage space.

Under dash heater and heated seats. Fully operational windshield wipers. So Cal Speed Shop Auburn style instrument panel with Stewart Warner gauges and an electronic VDO speedometer. Adjustable steering column, Seat belts. The folding (or removable) top was constructed from polished stainless Ford deluxe roadster arms and custom ash bows. The fabric is German canvas and the unusual rear window is 1932 Plymouth. Paint & Chrome The paint finishes on this car were applied by Jeff Bennett owner of Wide Open Customs. Jeff is builder of many hot rods and recently was honored as the lead restorer on the historic early custom '39 Ford convertible by Slick Paterson at the Detroit Autorama. The pinstriping was performed by acclaimed automotive artist Tom Van Nortwick. The metal polishing and chrome plating was done by Jeff Hanlon of Hanlon Plating in Richmond, Virginia. Do yourself a favor and look these guys up on the internet... About the Builder: Larry Rathburn, owner of Allegheny Speed Shop in Catabwa, Virginia, has been building traditional hot rods for decades. Famous award winning builds include his 1929 Victoria Sport Phaeton, Bruce Elder's 999 Phaeton, and the restoration of the 1953 Lincoln Special NASCAR Speedway Division Champ Car. These cars and many others have been featured in Hot Rod, Street Rodder, Rod & Custom, Car Kulture Deluxe, Streetscene, and many more. Show & Go As beautiful and well crafted as many hot rods are, few drive as nicely as they look. This is not the case with a Rathburn built car. A few months after it's debut at the Detroit Autorama where it won it's class, this car had it's shakedown cruise from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to the L.A. Roadster Show. And back. 6,000 miles in all conditions. Out on the road, good lights, wipers, brakes are not decorative anymore. Sit in this roadster on a cold Colorado morning and enjoy the snug canvas top, seat heaters as well as the working heater while your buddy's shiver in their cars. Rain -X is great stuff on the highway, but when you are stuck in traffic it sure is nice to have a good set of wipers. Check out the cooling system on this car and you will see a well engineered and very unique approach. Proven in mountains and America's hottest desert. This reliable car gets 18-20 MPG even when driven in “a spirited manner”and has a really decent range with that 16 gallon tank. Please note that because this car has a quick change differential, like much of the suspension on this car, it can be tuned to suit your own driving style. Additional gears for the quick change will be included in the sale that will allow you to adjust the final drive for greater acceleration or top end performance and economy. You will further note that the speedometer is a programmable VDO unit, so that as quickly as you change the rear drive gears, so can you change your speedometer calibration. Further evidence of the forethought displayed in the building of this car. Study the photos and you will see why Larry Rathburn is considered by his peers to be one of the finest car builders in the country.
