Welcome to the Showroom!

Here you will find our current inventory of vehicles that are ready to be sold, unless marked otherwise.

As always, we are looking to find the best vintage automobiles Southern California has to offer. We love our hand-picked survivors, nicely preserved examples that can instantly be enjoyed, the way they are. You do not need to be a millionaire to own and drive an exhilarating piece of automobile history (but it can't hurt, either) !

1931

American Austin 5-window. British microcar, later known as the Bantam, built under license in the USA during the 1930s. Dark blue/black. 4-cylinder with 3 speed. New tires and tubes. Owned since 1956 by the proverbial old Lady from . . . not Pasadena, but Lancaster, Calif. who drove it sparingly around the desert town for all those years. Original 1956 pink slip!
A unrestored original, a true survivor, rust and accident free with beautifully preserved, totally virginal undercarriage. Runs smoothly and drives great!
Sold
1941
Chrysler Town & Country "Barrelback Woody" 9-Passenger Sedan. One of just 797 such sedan-wagons built for the model year, this was Chrysler's first Woody, featuring a real White Ash and Honduran Mahogany wood structure. Often called "The World's first SUV"; barely a handful or two of these revolutionary, highly regarded collector cars survive today.
Incredibly, this excellently preserved original has had one local Southern California owner for all of its 68 years! From the 1940s through the 1970s, it was used by the Abercrombie-Converse family on their LINGDOOLEY RANCH in Santa Paula, a famous horse breeding site and boarding school. The Woody has been in dry storage for many years; now recommissioned by us it runs and drives!
Sold
1947
Dunsmore Motor Traction Jaguar. British Racing Green, matching Connolly leather with red piping. 3.8 litre Speed-Six, 4-speed with overdrive. A bespoke car from a famous cottage manufacturer. At 110mph, a smart alternative to a 1920s Blower Bentley at a mere fraction of the cost.

Austin Healey 100/4 BN1. Designed, built and raced in 1959 by engineer John Scranton and once part of the famous Reggie Jackson collection, this absolutely stunning, all black Big Healey is powered by a built 327 Chevrolet engine, coupled to a Muncie 4-speed tranny. Featuring many eclectic vintage parts, among them an engine-turned aluminum dash and genuine Dragmaster International mag wheels, it's one of the finest cars of its kind in existence. Considering its insane power-to-weight ratio, it'll give a 427 Cobra or even a V-10-powered Viper a run for the money. Freshly tuned and dyno-tested, it's ready for show and go!

Cadillac Eldorado Coupé. Ermine White over black leather. The proverbial California one-owner survivor, still wearing its original black license plates, paint, roof, and interior. 53K actual miles, books, records, window sticker, protect-o-plate. Rust free, of course. A majestic personal luxury Coupé, first of the FWD Cadillacs--this one is the one to have!
$12,900.00
1967
Porsche 912 Outlaw Coupé. Rennsport Silver over black. California black license plate 912. A slightly lowered stance, deco trim delete, European headlights, and period alloy racing wheels create a purposeful appearance. Recent receipts totalling over $11,000.00 document the mechanical work, including a full engine rebuild with 1750cc pistons, lightened flywheel, Bursch exhaust, new brakes and suspension all around. A very special 912, with sound, handling, and performance to match its sporting looks!
$17,500.00
1969

Maserati Ghibli. Rosso Pomodoro over black leather. 5-speed, power windows, A/C. Rust free California blue-license-plate example of the era's most beautiful Italian supercar. Owner just spent more than $25,000.00 to sort mechanically and cosmetically. Every gauge, light, and switch works!
An amazing presence, be it on the highway or at shows like the annual "Concorso Italiano."
Sale pending
1970
Tice CAN-AM Special. A titled, street-legal, one-off CAN-AM road racer, powered by a 512 c.i. mid-engine Cadillac monster motor. Hand-fabricated, all aluminum body with Emilio Pucci livery, gullwing door, huge rear wing, and all the goodies you'd hope to find in a purpose built supercar.
Absolutely easy to drive in daily traffic (really), yet perhaps not the ideal car for somebody trying to keep a low profile.
$38,000.00
1973
Maserati Bora. 30,000-mile original, finished in beautiful Metallico Blu Scuro over parchment leather. Never any rust or damage. Documented $18,000 engine freshening and cam update, less than 1,000 miles ago. One of the most desirable Italian supercars of the 1970s. Drives every bit as good as it looks.
