[email protected] 5527 Lakeview Road, Charlotte, NC, 28269, US 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS Rotisserie Restored Camaro Z/28 RS 302 V8 4 Speed Year: 1968 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Red Mileage: 27 Transmission type: 4 Speed Manual Engine: 302 V8 Interior color: Red Vehicle info The best thing about being a Camaro fan is: through five generations and 47 years of cars, GM has continuously provided us with a variety of purpose-built performance packages that normally wouldn't make it off the boardroom floor. And today, when it comes to high dollar classics, you simply can't go wrong with a first generation Z/28. Pedigreed, well-done small block cars continue to be some of the hottest selling metal on the market. And this documented, investment grade Z/28 has all the right ingredients to bring big value and even bigger appeal. For starters, it's an authentic Matador Red car which features a correct Red interior. It also packs a correct 302 that's equipped with a rare cross ram intake. AND it rows power through a tough Muncie 4-speed and correct 4.56 gears. If you're in the market for a restoration-fresh collector car that you can enjoy and build equity in, this slick F1 demands your full attention! We'll start by breaking down the car's basics. VIN: 124378NXXXXXX1 - Chevrolet2 - Camaro4 V8 engine / Standard interior37 - Sport coupe8 - 1968 model yearN - Assembled at GM's Norwood, Ohio manufacturing facilityXXXXXX Production sequence number COWL TAG:06D - Assembled during the fourth week (D) of June (06), 196868 - 1968 model year12437 - V8-powered (4) Chevrolet (1) Camaro (2) Sport coupe (37)NOR - Assembled at GM's Norwood, Ohio manufacturing facility162027 - Fisher Body number724 - Standard, Red interior that's fitted with bucket seatsR2 - Matador Red paint The beneficiary of a professional, rotisserie restoration that included $38K of paint and body work, this vivid panther simply glistens under our bright showroom lights. Craig Hopkins, of Cleveland, Georgia's AMD Installation Center, put a lot of effort into making sure the car's body is extremely straight. That time was well spent, as excellent panel gaps perfectly center hinged pieces which move freely and close with solidity. And those pieces are bathed in DuPont Matador Red two-stage that's been dressed with Tuxedo Black war paint and buffed to a spectacular shine. When it comes to purity of form, I can't really think of a better looking car than Chevrolet's 60s-era Camaro. It's a solid and straightforward design that continues to age exceptionally well, especially in the company of its exaggerated and extroverted competitors. At the front of this super cool F1, a pristine Rally Sport grille centers a stacked "RS" badge and bright halogen headlights between a spotless bumper, clear parking lamps and a small header script. At the top of that grille, a flat hood reflects a sweet combination of like-new glass, mirrored stainless frames and fresh black vinyl. At the sides of that hood, a monochromatic profile hangs prominent "Z/28" emblems and blocky "rally sport" scripts between familiar door handles, RS rocker trim and a correct chrome mirror. And at the back of the car, a small trunk script and second spotless bumper frame bright reverse lamps, '68 Camaro-exclusive tail lights, and an "RS" branded fuel filler. Hoist this classic's solid steel hood and you'll be delighted to find a rare Winters cross ram on top of a correct, 302 cubic inch high performance V8. Fresh from Precision Engines LLC, that fully balanced mill utilizes a forged SCAT crank, forged SCAT rods, SRP pistons and a Bullet Trans Am-spec cam to twist stout 11 to 1 compression into 344 dyno-proven horsepower! At the top of the red hot small block, beefy Holley carburetors mix fuel from fresh stainless fluid lines with oxygen that's piped through a chrome, cowl-fed air cleaner. Behind those carburetors, modern electronic ignition sequences spark through fresh Packard TV R Suppression Cables. And at the sides of that ignition, authentic 'double hump' heads hang bright chrome valve covers over roller tip rocker arms and professionally restored exhaust manifolds. When fired, the infamous V8 snarls and barks like a real competition piece. Its ancillary components are top-notch in every way, with fresh GM hoses and a correct Delco Moraine brake booster accompanying a reproduction Delco battery. And an even combination of Chevy Orange engine skin and Satin Black fender framing is accented by clean and appropriate decals. Back in 1968, the best set up the Camaro offered was a tough Muncie transmission and track-worthy 4.56 rear end. This coupe's correct 4-speed, which is equipped with a fresh clutch and flywheel, twists a shortened A-Body pumpkin that's packed with new Moser axles, a proven Eaton posi and 4.56 Richmond gears. That first-rate drivetrain is held off the ground by a completely rebuilt, high performance suspension, which includes 4-piston, Corvette-style brakes, tuned front coils, multi-leaf rears and reproduction shocks. That suspension is dissected by an aluminized, true-dual exhaust system, which is fitted with a correct, transversely mounted muffler. That exhaust system is framed by clean floors which perfectly highlight a new stainless fuel tank, fresh stainless fluid lines and a variety of chip-free chassis components. Those floors roll on 15-inch Rally wheels, which spin E70-15 Goodyear Wide Tread GTs around correct stainless center caps and dent-free trim rings. And while this Rally Sport has, to our knowledge, never been shown, it would certainly fare well hovering over a quartet of undercarriage mirrors. The Standard Red interior hiding behind this car's small red doors illustrates the true, no frills intentions of Chevrolet's hallowed Z/28. Its bucket seats were restored with new backs, new foam and reproduction covers that look and feel fantastic. In front of those seats a stainless-trimmed dash, which exhibits no signs of warping or peeling, hangs rebuilt telemetry above a clean radio delete. At the base of that dash, great looking carpet centers a chrome Hurst shifter between four color-keyed floor mats. That seat, dash and flooring trifecta is framed by a tight headliner and standard, stainless-trimmed door panels. In front of the driver, Chevrolet's classy Rosewood steering wheel spins satin spokes around a red, white and blue centerpiece. And behind the passengers, the car's solid trunk has been correctly restored with new paint, a new mat, fresh decals and a full-size spare tire. The sale of this first class F-Body includes:An original Protect-O-PlateA vintage window stickerPre-restoration photosRestoration photosRestoration receiptsOfficial dyno sheets Early Z/28s are certainly rare, and "IMPRESSIVE" is one word that definitely describes this car. Given the crop of clones and fakes that popped up as the marque gained popularity, having a documented, correct example is precisely what separates the enthusiasts from the fans. If you want a pony car that'll draw a crowd for reasons other than bright paint and aftermarket badges, this investment grade F1 is exactly what you're looking for!

[email protected] 5527 Lakeview Road, Charlotte, NC, 28269, US 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle National Award Winning Chevelle "Black Thunder" 502 V8 Year: 1966 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Black Mileage: 63 Transmission type: 3 Speed Automatic Engine: 502 V8 Interior color: Black Vehicle info You already know that RK Motors Charlotte has a thing for Chevrolet's most famous muscle car. From their long list of options and stacks of documentation to their hundreds of cubic inches of big block bliss, we've brought you some of the most mind-blowing, potent and flat-out brutal Chevelles the market has ever seen! And from the insane LSX-powered coupe we sold last month to the rare Golden Brown convertible we featured a few weeks ago, we continue to be your number one source for anything that starts with the letters C, H, E and V. After all, what's not to love about a classic that defines the dominant era of Chevrolet ingenuity, showcases an unparalleled era in American culture and represents the best era of Detroit's manufacturing might? Absolutely nothing; and that's why this award-winning pro-tourer, with its 502 cubic inch GM Performance Parts V8, custom suspension and classy leather interior, is the perfect piece for the muscle car fan who wants the best of absolutely everything! Selling for a solid $262K just one year after its professional, body-off restoration, this slick Chevy hardtop features a seamless and sinister appearance that's highlighted by an immaculate layer of custom PPG basecoat. Now, we all know it isn't easy to perfect a body that's going to be dipped in deep black pigment. And that difficulty doubles when said black pigment is pretty much the ONLY thing prospective admirers have to focus on. But, no worries here; just take one look down the sides of this Chevelle's rock-solid fuselage and it's obvious that Cummings Custom Classics of Maryville, Tennessee took great care ensuring each of its panels were aligned to better-than-factory fit. Step closer to those panels' hypnotic finish and check out their straight and ripple-free surfaces, which are a product of high quality prep work and 100% original sheetmetal. Grab that sheetmetal's well-adjusted pivot points and feel how smoothly they close to provide an excellent fit, which is highlighted by precise gaps and a glossy PPG clearcoat. Now, step back and watch it all add up to one extremely impressive classic that's built to exacting specifications. The key to creating a world class custom is building a car that, even though it looks virtually seamless, actually contains many labor-intensive modifications. Take this foreboding Chevelle, for example. Thanks to subtle metalwork and a little help from the folks at Advanced Plating in Nashville, Tennessee, GM's mid-size sales champ has never looked so good! At the front of the car, a mirrored grille hangs a custom "502" emblem between chrome headlight buckets, traditional T3 headlamps and a spotless chrome bumper. At the sides of the car, shaved fender emblems and a distinct lack of brightwork hint at a serious personality while traditional door handles and fresh wheel frames add a little form to major function. At the top of the car, a shaved Super Sport hood leads the eye to smoked glass that rides behind a smoothed cowl, straight stainless trim and bright stainless wipers. And at the back of the car, a smoothed valence hangs crystal clear tail lights above a second spotless bumper. Few cars fit the 'muscle car' description better than a Chevelle. And when you build a Chevelle that's named "Black Thunder", you'd better stock some SERIOUS horsepower. Twisting 540 dyno-proven horses into a massive 560 lb./ft. of stump-pulling torque, this coupe's killer GM Performance Parts 502 is a logical testament to the old rule: more cubic inches equals more horsepower. Massaged by Hinkle Machine Shop in London, Kentucky, the brutal mill utilizes a forged crank, shot penned rods, aluminum pistons and a hydraulic roller cam to flat out whip pretty much anything with four wheels. A perfect air/fuel mixture is supplied by a big Holley 750, which anchors a Proform center section between a reusable filter element and Holley pressure gauge. That mixture flows through a mirrored Edelbrock intake to ported and polished heads which, like the rest of the engine, have had their castings completely smoothed. Spark is sequenced from an MSD 6A ignition system to an MSD points distributor and loomed Taylor plug wires. Gases roar through large, custom-cut exhaust pipes via coated, custom-modified Hooker headers. And a coated Edelbrock water pump, two electric puller fans and polished Street & Performance pulleys ensure rocket-like acceleration. Visually, the classy gold block rides in a custom engine bay that displays OEM-level attentiveness to both engineering and assembly. And details like chrome hardware, custom stainless fluid lines and polished ancillary components create a clean and purposeful aesthetic. This is usually the point in a pro-tourer breakdown where passive optimism has turned into nail-biting enthusiasm. And unfortunately, that excitement is sometimes dampened by statements like "a factory-correct transmission" or "a corporate GM rear end". Not so with this first class Chevelle! Its owner's crystal clear vision of eventual perfection has culminated in a completely custom suspension that's chock full of high performance hardware and proven drivetrain components. The brazen big block twists to redline thanks to a fresh Jasper Turbo-Hydramatic 400, which backs a 2,600 RPM stall converter with a Positive Shift Kit. That polished gearbox utilizes a custom Sonny's Driveline driveshaft to spin an Eaton posi-traction differential around high quality Moser axles and 3.50 Motive Gears. Holding that world class drivetrain off the pavement is a massaged chassis that was smoothed and boxed at Craig's Hot Rod Shop in Knoxville, Tennessee. At the front of that chassis, polished Fatman control arms hang AGR power steering components and Carrera coil-over-shocks between a 1-inch Hotchkis sway bar and 1-inch lowering springs. At the back of that chassis, a proven Hotchkis 4-bar hangs polished shocks behind a second Hotchkis sway bar. Stops come courtesy of a beefy Baer brake system, which wraps polished calipers around 13-inch front, and 12-inch rear, drilled and slotted rotors. Exhaust swirls through custom Craig's Hot Rod Shop pipes that were coated to match polished Edelbrock RPM Series Tru-Flo mufflers. And at the corners of the floor, custom Boyd Coddington wheels spin 245/50R17 BF Goodrich Comp T/As in front of 255/60R17 BF Goodrich Comp T/As. Aesthetically, the bottom of this Chevelle is just as clean as its top; framing smoothed and painted floors in a full outfit of custom stainless fluid lines. And essentials like a Moroso oil pan, Lokar transmission accessories and a Mallory Comp fuel pump round out a roster of top notch details. Inside the car, clean 60s style is augmented with impressive tailoring that was performed by Steve Holcomb of Pro Auto Custom Interiors in Knoxville, Tennessee. Cerullo front buckets and a custom rear bench are all-day comfortable, featuring supple hides that display no significant wrinkles. In front of those seats, a custom dash hangs smooth gold paint behind Classic Instruments gauges and a third Lokar-sourced "Black Thunder" emblem. On the floor, high quality carpet rides under traditional Fisher sills, color-keyed mats and a custom console that's detailed with a Hurst Quarter Stick shifter and Vintage Air climate control. In front of the driver, a tilting Ididit steering column spins a custom Lecarra wheel around polished Lokar foot pedals. At the sides of the passengers, two-tone door panels hang modern power windows behind polished handles, sculpted armrests and large kick speakers. And behind the cockpit, a smoothed and stitched trunk hangs an Alpine CD player and Alpine CD changer above two Alpine amplifiers and a new EZ Wiring harness. Naturally, this jaw-dropping coupe is no stranger to praise and accolades. Here's a short list of the car's major awards and features:Outstanding Interior at the 2004 Super Chevy Show in Commerce, Georgia (First show entered)Best Gold Class Chevelle at the 2004 Super Chevy Show in Commerce, Georgia (First show entered)Best of Show at the 2004 Super Chevy Show in Commerce, Georgia (First show entered)Best Chevelle at the 2004 Super Chevy Show in Bristol, TennesseeBest Gold Class Engine at the 2004 Super Chevy Show in Bristol, TennesseeFirst Place Modified Chevelle in the 2004 DEI Legacy Show SeriesBest Chevelle in the 2004 DEI Legacy Show Series Class of ChampionsCrowned Grand Champion of the 2004 DEI Legacy Show SeriesUltimate 5 Award at the 2004 Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge, TennesseePPG Paint Pick at the 2004 Goodguys Southeastern Nationals in Charlotte, North CarolinaMeguiar's Magnificent Masterpiece Award at the 2004 Goodguys Southeastern Nationals in Charlotte, North CarolinaBest First Time Shown at the 2005 World of Wheels AutoramaFirst Place Mild Custom at the 2005 World of Wheels AutoramaBest Custom at the 2005 World of Wheels AutoramaFeatured in the 2005 edition of Super Chevy Chevelle MagazineFeatured in the September, 2005 edition of Chevy Rumble MagazineFeatured in the April, 2006 edition of Southern Rodder Magazine The sale of this awesome A-Body includes six laminated photos, the aforementioned magazine features, a framed Dale Earnhardt picture, a small battery tender and a fitted car cover that's complete with an embroidered carrying bag.

[email protected] 5527 Lakeview Road, Charlotte, NC, 28269, US 1952 Mercedes-Benz 220 B Cabriolet Restored 220B Cabriolet 2195 CC Inline 6 4 Speed Year: 1952 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Black Mileage: 51802 Transmission type: 4 Speed Manual Engine: 2195cc SOHC Inline Six-Cylinder Interior color: Red Vehicle info In many ways, vintage Mercedes' are the perfect combination of old world luxury and universal appeal. Comfortable, stylish and built like a Panzer tank, they're the first choice of discerning car collectors who value unmatched substance and an acute attention to craftsmanship. As 1 of only 997 220B Cabriolets built during the W187 model run, this fully restored Benz is the beneficiary of roughly $30K in maintenance work that's spanned the last four years. And if you're a Daimler diehard who's in the market for a first class investment piece that can be enjoyed to its fullest extent, it's the classic you've been waiting for! Despite their recent challenges, Mercedes-Benz is a very fortunate automaker. Not only do they have a great reputation that's as well engineered as their legendary cars, they also have big momentum in the collector car market thanks to renewed interest in European classics. Fastidiously maintained by Bud's Benz in Douglasville Georgia, this stunning Euro is rumored to be the former car of Hollywood actress Shirley Mitchell. Its all-too-appropriate Black lacquer is exceptionally dynamic and absolutely nails the formal appearance Daimler has spent over 80 years cultivating. Its finish is flat and smooth. Its gaps are as you would expect from something with a three-point star. And while this vintage treasure does show a few signs of being driven, it's an outstanding cruiser that mixes a super straight body with great build quality. Like all of Stuttgart's best luxury metal, this convertible's styling is brilliantly executed with excellent proportions that, rightfully, place form over function. At the front of its body, a slightly canted grille hangs a familiar Mercedes-Benz emblem between chrome-trimmed headlights, streamlined parking lamps and a curved chrome bumper that's fitted with Bosch driving lights. Behind that grille, a long hood centers straight stainless trim behind a fine Mercedes gun sight. Behind that hood, a flat windscreen floats among small stainless wipers, a fresh black top and ornate chrome hinges. At the sides of that screen, stylish coach doors swivel between a small mirror, small antenna and polished rocker guards. And at the back of the car, vintage tail lamps illuminate a simple fuel filler, classy Mercedes trunk emblems, clean stainless exhaust and a second curved bumper. Mechanically, this Benz exemplifies top notch restoration via a correct M130 6-cylinder that's been completely rebuilt. Hoist the car's narrow hood and you'll find the final iteration of Daimler's 'mid-sized' SOHC inline six that, in this rendition, creates 79 horsepower. Similar in design to Chevrolet's storied Blue Flame, the 'mid-sized six' isn't a grossly overpowered piece. But it's certainly proven its ability to scoot this large luxury car down the boulevard with comfort and reliability. At the top of the proven block, restored air induction pipes wind into a familiar Solex carburetor. At the base of that carb, a silver, factory-correct valve cover caps factory intake and exhaust manifolds. At the front of that valve cover, a traditional points distributor sequences spark between a high quality Bosch coil and fresh Belden High Temperature plug wires. And the car's clean engine bay is dotted with many road-ready essentials, including a fresh battery and Willy Vogel brake components. Based on Mercedes' stalwart W187 architecture, the 220B champions a strong, 4-speed manual transmission that's rowed by an unconventional, column-mounted shifter. A fully independent suspension commands a nice, 112-inch wheelbase to mix composed turns with cloud-like ride quality. Naturally, there's old school manual steering. At the perimeter, manual drum brakes, which were recently rebuilt, provide solid, drama-free stops. Spent gases flow through a single-pipe exhaust system, which utilizes a big muffler and rear-mounted resonator to emit barely a murmur. All that cushy technology rides on snazzy, 15-inch wheels which spin 6.40-15 BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewalls around Mercedes-branded center caps. And aesthetically, the car's undercarriage is exactly what you'd expect from a well-traversed cruiser, with clean floors that display no evidence of abuse, neglect, or damage. On the inside, this well-mannered Mercedes is vintage Teutonic luxury at its finest. Soft leather benches are supremely comfortable and look great in their subdued Red tint. In front of those thrones, crystal clear gauges are laid out in typical Mercedes fashion: three binnacles with simple dials. Behind those gauges, a straight dash features rich wood trim that flows into great looking wood door toppers. Below that dash, a combination of clean red carpet and fresh black mats harkens back to the days of formal sedans. At the sides of that flooring, leather door panels hang sizable map pockets below simple chrome handles. And in front of the driver, a black, Mercedes-branded steering wheel maintains excellent road manners while providing a heavy, luxury car feel. The sale of this old world super star includes an Instruction Manual, vintage marketing materials and a stack of service receipts. Both luxurious and capable, this distinguished Benz is a substantial classic that's been meticulously maintained. Thanks to Daimler's storied reputation for excellent engineering, Mercedes sold every W187 car they could build, and rare examples like this 220B enjoy a large group of dedicated fans. If you're looking for a great cruiser that's a genuine iron fist in a silk glove, you've found your next collector car!

[email protected] 5527 Lakeview Road, Charlotte, NC, 28269, US 1972 Buick GS455 Stage 1 Restored Concours Gold GS 455 Stage 1 Convertible Year: 1972 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Orange Mileage: 49055 Transmission type: 3 Speed Automatic Engine: 455 V8 Interior color: White Vehicle info It's a shame so many enthusiasts overlook the Buick Skylark when shopping for an A-body toy. Chevelles and GTOs, sure, but everyone seems to forget that the big Buicks, like the GS455, made more torque than any other gasoline engine GM built until the arrival of the latest supercharged Corvette ZR1. By 1972, compression was down, but the Buick was still a strong performer as the GS nailed 14-second quarter mile times at better than 100 MPH. And it did so while loaded with luxury features that were not available on its corporate cousins. This stunning Flame Orange GS is one of only 81 Stage 1 convertibles built in '72, one of only 66 built with an automatic transmission, and is believed to be one of 25 identically optioned Buick Zone Office cars. With a Concours Gold-winning restoration and full documentation courtesy of the Sloan Museum, this car is NOT to be missed. With a full package of paperwork from the Sloan Museum, this highly optioned GS Stage 1 is a coupe for the muscle car fan who doesn't want to give up, well, anything to get his performance fix. Check out this options list, which added more than $2,000 to the bottom line and brought the total to $5,556.67-dangerously close to 1972 Corvette territory:34: GS45567: ConvertibleZZ: Flame Orange1: White convertible top245: White notchback bench seat interiorB2: Turbo Hydramatic 400 transmissionCF: Power disc brakes and variable ratio power steeringDN: AM Sonoramic radio, rear speaker and stereo tape deckE6: Through bumper exhaust extensionsF7: G60-15 Firestone Wide Oval white letter tires and chrome plated wheelsG1: Performance axle with positive traction (standard with Stage 1)I6: Air conditioningJ1: Custom seat beltsL2: Soft-Ray tinted windshieldNF: Front and rear bumper guards and bumper strips front and rearO6: Sport outside rear view mirrorsS7: Tilt steeringUD: Full Rally Gauge package with clock and Convenience Group (trunk light, mirror map light)V2: Chrome plated wheels (standard with F9 Firestone Wide Oval tires)X2: Rallye steering wheel The car was treated to a frame-off restoration in 2006, and has recently been freshened for competition at the highest levels, including an all-new fully functional factory A/C system. Flame Orange is an incredibly rare color on an already shockingly rare car, and the bright hue was so far outside Buick's comfort zone that only a handful were built. Nevertheless, it looks fantastic on the Skylark's handsome sheetmetal, which is so perfectly proportioned that it's quite likely impossible to make it look bad. Then & Now Automotive in Marietta, Georgia handled the bodywork, and the results are, obviously, show-stopping. The paint is now two-stage urethane which looks about a mile deep and has a shine that no '70s finish could match. Just look at the way the panels line up, the way the light reflects off the paint, and the care with which it was all assembled. It's not surprising that this one has racked up some pretty impressive wins. All the details are correct as well. Although the basic body shape didn't change, Buick adjusted the detailing on the cars every year, making things like the grille unique from year to year. All the chrome on this one has been restored to concours condition, the stainless is fully polished to match, and yes, that grille is original and correct. Proper GS Stage 1 badges were installed, and details like the original T3 headlights and cool through-the-bumper exhaust tips help separate this car from its brothers.The engine is a date-code-correct WS-stamped warranty replacement block that was installed not too long after delivery. Why, we can't say for certain, but it's probably easy to guess. But there's no doubt that it's a correct GS Stage 1 block. The engine bay has been detailed for national competition and given the list of awards it has already won, it's clear that everything is correctly restored. It may show a few signs of use, most notably in some discolored paint around the exhaust ports, but that's how they looked the moment they were driven off the transport trucks and into the dealer's showroom. Please note that new A/C system, also installed by the guys at Then & Now, who obviously have some expertise with this car, and which uses 100% original components and blows ice cold today. While you could get a 4-speed in your GS Stage 1, an automatic really seems like the better choice in a Buick and suffers no performance penalty behind the big block. The TH400 in this ragtop is the original, numbers-matching piece, complete with a crystal clear VIN stamp on the driver's side pan rail and a Stage 1 specific code BB tag is riveted to the passenger's side. Out back there's an indestructible 12-bolt full of 3.42 gears on a Posi-traction limited slip, which deliver neck-snapping acceleration and remarkably comfortable high-speed cruising abilities. The frame wears a correct coat of satin black, and the beautifully finished floors are the perfect background for the restored suspension and braking systems. And if there's a more beautiful muscle car wheel than the Buick chrome Rallys, I haven't seen it. On this car, they are also wearing correct G60-15 Goodyear Polyglas bias-ply tires. The glittering white vinyl "notchback" interior is bright enough to require eye protection. The white is the ideal choice in a convertible, especially a bright orange one, because it avoids two common problems with black interiors: excessive sweating on a hot day and the appearance of the Great Pumpkin. There's fresh foam under those new seat covers, so the car feels like new from behind the wheel, and the dash pad and instruments have been completely restored. New black carpets show no signs of wear, and the door panels don't even have that slight depression where the driver might rest his elbow. As I mentioned, the A/C system is brand new and blows ice cold, and this car also carries an optional 8-track tape player, which is mounted below the dash and separate from the AM radio. Overhead there's a professionally fitted white power convertible top that stashes itself behind the seats in seconds, where it's hidden by a matching white boot. Thanks to the archives at the Sloan Museum, there's a lot of factory documentation with this Buick. In addition to the original owner's manual and warranty booklets, we also have a 1972 Buick/Opel advance information booklet, a reproduction window sticker, a copy of the original build sheet, and a letter stating that this car may have been a special test vehicle used by GM; which might explain the replacement block and the low VIN number and options package believed to be shared with 24 other Zone Office cars. There's also a beautifully presented display board with a complete listing of this car's features and options as well as a CD full of restoration photos. You'll also get the Concours Gold award from the GS Nationals-winning first prize there is as good as it gets. The car also won a gold award at the 2010 Buick Performance Group's 2010 national meet and is officially registered with the GS Stage 1 Registry. Finally, it includes receipts for much of the restoration work, detailed right down to the transportation charges getting it to the facility before the work even started and totaling more than $90,000. Rare, fast and beautiful, this Buick GS Stage 1 is for the discerning collector who knows the difference between a nice car and a great car. Big block A-body convertibles remain top-quality investments, and Buicks are starting to see some movement after decades of living in their corporate cousins' shadows. Already a documented prize-winner at the very highest levels, this lovely convertible represents the end of the great muscle cars. If you've been looking for something different to add to your collection, this GS is awfully hard to beat! About this auction & rk motors charlotte Please note that all sales are binding and final.

[email protected] 5527 Lakeview Road, Charlotte, NC, 28269, US 1940 Mercury Sedan Frame Off Built Sedan 4.6L Supercharged V8 6 Speed Year: 1940 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Blue Mileage: 8212 Transmission type: 6 Speed Manual Engine: 4.6 Liter Supercharged V8 Interior color: Red Vehicle info If any car epitomized the term "sleeper" in our inventory, it would be this 1940 Mercury Sedan. If you are more a fan of the Muscle car era, you might not ever take a look at this beautifully restored Merc. On the outside it appears to be 100% original, and even the interior incorporates the 40's throwback look. You would never know that this Mercury is capable of running with some of the best in our showroom. The beneficiary of a complete custom restoration in 2010, today this Merc packs 550hp under the long hood thanks to a Supercharged Saleen V8. That's not a typo, this 1940 Mercury has almost 600hp lying in reserve under your right foot. From time to time we can tell when cars won't last long in our showroom, and based on the looks this Mercury has already got, it won't be long before it gets loaded up and heads to a new owner. Originally the Mercury was purchased at the Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville, Georgia, as an original un-restored survivor. However we don't know what possessed the previous owners to perform the build that they did, but we do know the results are incredible. Like we've already stated, visually the body features that classic look that car guys love. At the front of the body that is covered in a single stage Marina Blue, you'll see the chrome bumper that rests in front of the original 1940 Mercury grille. The gorgeous grille is flanked by two big headlights that rest on the large front fenders. As you make your way up the hood you'll see adding to the hidden power is the Mercury Eight lettering below the stainless steel trim that runs the length of the body. The blue is accented quite nicely by the red steel rims and the dark red interior. As you make your way to the back of the car you'll see chrome door handles, a split rear window, and a chrome fuel filler. At the very back of the car you'll find two rear tail lights that rest above the chrome rear bumper that hides the dual exhausts from the Saleen power plant very nicely. Saleen's oft-repeated motto has always been "Power in the Hands of a Few". And with this Mercury, there's LOTS of power in the hands of VERY few. Locked, loaded and ready to roll, the 24-valve, single overhead cam monster that rumbles under the aforementioned hood is, by far, the car's biggest selling point. Originally leaving the factory with a 239 cubic inch flathead V8, the build team opted for the Saleen powerplant that came from a wrecked Saleen S281 that only had 500 miles on it at the time of its unfortunate demise. Thanks to the addition of Saleen's Series VI supercharger, it twists a killer 550 horsepower into 525 lb./ft. of tire melting torque! The Saleen's install is exceptionally clean, and looks like it was meant to sit within this Mercury. The hot mill is a melting pot of machined and natural finishes that contrast well against the car's bright red paint. And best of all, this muscle-bound sleeper will fire up in any weather, drive thousands of miles before anyone needs to turn its bolts, and certainly lay waste to almost any old school muscle car that's brave enough to pick a fight. Bolted to the supercharged mill is the Saleen 6-speed manual transmission that came from that same S281. From there the power travels down the driveshaft to the Strange Engineering 9-inch rear end with a 3.90 limited slip differential with 31 spline axles. The suspension also received a good amount of work as you will note that there is a coil-over front suspension and at the rear you'll find leaf springs that have been upgraded with a rear sway-bar and traction bars. Stopping power comes courtesy of a Hydra boost supplied Power Disc brakes at all four corners. In front of those brakes you'll find the 15" painted steel rims that have been wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A rubber. Open the doors and you'll find an extremely tasteful interior that combines spectacular red vinyl with chrome hardware and blue accents that tie into the exterior. The firm bench seat is supportive, yet feels soft enough to take a nap on. In front of that seat, a bark blue painted dash hangs what looks like stock appearing gauges and a big blue steering wheel. Under that dash, high quality wool carpet anchors color-keyed floor mats beneath the foot pedals and re-upholstered kick panels. In the center you'll see what looks like straight drive controls to those that don't know about the 6-speed manual transmission that it controls. Above the driver, a full-length headliner anchors an oval mirror in front of the split front window. Behind the front bench seat is another bench seat that carries plenty of room to haul 2 more passengers in the back. An aftermarket air conditioning system, trunk-mounted CD-player, and stereo controls in the glove box, add in a lot of nice features that make this car ready for the long hauls. Most importantly though, keeping with the sleeper theme, anyone that looks into the interior will be none the wiser about how potent this Merc really is. This 1940 Mercury Sedan is ready to surprise and impress. If you've been looking for a car that is wildly unique, and features a mixture of show and go, then this is the car of your dreams. Another thing to consider is the fact that this vehicle has never been shown competitively, and it is more than capable of picking up awards at car shows. But trust us, it won't last long under our showroom lights. Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information.

They've always been great to look at, but for a lot of modern drivers, what equated to impressive street manners in the 1950s simply doesn't translate to 2014. For that reason, there is a tendency to go overboard with updating these cars with modern hardware but this '57 Bel Air two-door hardtop offers the perfect balance of classic looks and modern behavior. The subject of a detailed body-off restoration, this tri-five Chevy retains a nearly stock appearance while offering a 427 cubic inch, a smooth-shifting Tremec transmission, power steering, and air conditioning everything you need to enjoy this car on modern roads. Looking for a classic Bel Air without the compromises? Your Chevrolet has arrived! The beneficiary of two recent restorations, the first was a complete frame off restoration which was finished in 2008. 2012 brought the most recent restoration that included a new frame, work inside the engine compartment, and a repaint. Today it sits as a decorated award winner in vibrant silver that was borrowed from the Mercedes-Benz line of colors. Zoom in on the details and you'll find all the correct trim in place and ready for show. The front is a gorgeous combination of gold and silver, lead by a pristine chrome bumper. Pointed fenders are capped in chrome and the hood dcor continues the sense of forward motion. The greenhouse is filled with clean glass edged in well-preserved stainless trim, while round mirrors sit just beyond either vent window. A trio of gold fender louvers introduce the side profile and the iconic side trim flows back and opens up above the rear fender as the fins continue back. Out back, the sharp fins are capped in chrome, while a golden Chevrolet emblem and V badge fill in the center. At the very back you will find another wrap-around rear bumper, while the dual exhausts exit out just behind the rear tires. Lift the big silver hood and you'll find a fantastic blend of show and go sitting within the engine bay. Powering the Bel Air is a 427 cubic inch Big Block Mark IV V8 bored .030 over with a complete Reher Morrison top end. The big block creates a dyno-proven 587hp at 7000RPM and looks incredible while doing so. At the top of the engine is a polished aluminum air filter that sits atop a Holly ultra HP 850 CFM carburetor shoving the air/fuel mixture through an Edelbrock Victor series intake. Inside the block is a cross drilled nitrited forged steel crankshaft, Forged 11.3 pistons with 119cc heads, Molly perfect circle rings, Clevite H-series race bearing mains, Lunati solid mechanical roller cam, and a HP cam bearing set. Spent gasses travel out the Reher Morrison heads through a set of custom Hooker Super comp long-tube coated headers before entering dual exhausts. Bolted to that massive 427 is a Centerforce clutch and pressure plate that transfers those 587hp to the Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission. From there the power travels down the driveshaft and puts the power to the ground thanks to a Ford 9" rear axle that has been equipped with a 3.70 posi differential with 31-spline Moser axles. At the front of the car you'll find Heidts front control arms with QA1 adjustable coil-over shocks and in the rear an upgraded tri-angulated 4-bar suspension equipped with adjustable QA1 coil-over shocks holds the Ford 9" in place. Stopping power comes courtesy of Wilwood 12" disc brakes being equipped at every corner. In front of those brakes the entire car sits on 18" and 20" Boyd Coddington Aluminum Junkyard Dog Wheels that have been wrapped in Nitto NT555 Extreme. Inside you will find a completely custom red and silver vinyl interior by Cars Interior. When it comes to interiors, even the best stitch-master would be hard-pressed to create something more attractive than a stock '57 Bel Air interior. The custom red and silver interior in this hardtop is a great reminder of that. Swing open either door to admire beautifully styled door panels with fresh trim, and hardware. Fisher Body door sill plates protect the threshold while fresh red carpets protected by new rubber mats greet your arrival. A pair of bench seats offers spacious accommodations for four, wrapped in the same striking red and silver vinyl as the door panels. Slide into the driver's seat for a better look at the controls. You'll notice right off the bat the Ididit steering column. Behind the red wheel, the stylish Bel Air dash reads only 497 miles and hosts a trio of gauges that measure temperature, speed, and fuel, while to either side, stainless pulls control the accessories. Vents underneath the dash distribute cooled air from the HVAC system and an upgraded radio provides entertainment for the ride thanks to a Custom Autosound receiver and 10-disc CD changer. The whole cabin is topped by a taut, red headliner completed by a dome light and matching red visors. We aren't the only ones who think this '57 Chevy is immaculate.
