Same Owner since 1967: 1966 Griffith Series 400

1966 TVR Griffith series 400 RF

This ‘66 Griffith is the type of car we love finding. Owned by the same fellow since 1967, it was raced at places like Watkins Glen as well as driven on the street. Cars like this one have a history, the tell a story and that’s a great part of car collecting and ownership. This Griffith is currently on EBay with Reserve Not Met at $52,100 and 38 bids. …Read More »

Eligible Everywhere: 1957 AC Aceca with FIA logbook

1957 AC Aceca LF

This 1957 AC Aceca is a find that’s met us with mixed emotions. It was for sale (from what we recall, 6-7 years ago) for $44,000 here, but we missed it then! We’ve often looked for this exact car to come back on the market and now it has, but the values of Aceca’s have climbed, now the seller is asking $119,000. We think it’s fairly priced, just a bit hard for us to pull the trigger right now. …Read More »

Thanksgiving Day Treat: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I

1965 Sunbeam Tiger Dark Blue RF

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving from Two Seats Or Less! Given it’s Thanksgiving day, we figured the most appropriately ironic thing to post is a British car with an American powerplant. Besides that, we’ve had a few people inquire about the black Mark II Tiger we posted a few weeks back. That car was very nice, but sold shortly after we posted it. So, what we’ve got here is a Mark I, which is less rare, but still a great car. The owner claims it’s one of the nicest on the planet, hence the asking price of $54,500 or offer. …Read More »

Real Deal: 1966 Shelby Mustang SFM6S770

LS

We recently posted a 1966 Shelby G.T.350 “Tribute” that was a very nice car and sold rather quickly. This is the car that “Tribute” was based on, a real ‘66 Shelby. These cars were built by Carroll Shelby to compete with the Europeans, both on and off the track; if you don’t believe that was the focus, just check out the “Eat Spaghetti” ad from 1966. This particular car is currently on EBay, bid to $68,850 with Reserve not met. …Read More »

Vintage Racecar, Driver Needed: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger

LS

If you’ve been looking for a fully prepped B Production vintage racer at a reasonable price, this Sunbeam may be a good option. At an asking price of $55,000 this Tiger is probably one of the most cost effective ways to get out and run with Shelby Mustangs and Cobras while not worrying quite as much about your wallet. This car has a long list of events it’s previously competed in, literally dozens of events on the West Coast from Thunderhill down to Coronado over the past 10 years. We often prefer a car that’s been driven and used, especially if the new owner plans to use it, as hopefully a lot of the bugs are already worked out. …Read More »

Another Survivor: 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta with 9,226 miles

MagustaRF

Here’s another low-miler for those of you who want something that’s been well preserved. The seller claims this car has covered just over 9,000 miles since 1970, not even 250 miles per year! The De Tomaso Mangusta is an Italian car, produced by Ghia in Modena, Italy (where Ferrari’s are made) and fitted with a Ford V8 engine. This was a car for someone looking for Italian styling with a powerful yet reliable American engine, the same holds true today. …Read More »

Shelby Look-a-like: 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 “Tribute”

RS
We know, we know; the name of this site is “Two Seats or Less” and this Mustang is a 2+2. We’ll feature four-seaters from time to time; we don’t discriminate, we’re mostly interested in featuring quality, somewhat unique cars you can buy and enjoy.

The seller claims this Mustang is a 1965 but to us it sure looks like a 66. The difference has to do with the rear C pillar side windows and scoop vent right behind the doors; 65’s had louvers, 66’s have small windows and 66’s have the rear scoop, 65’s didn’t. Good news is that the changes are minor and all should be settled with a look at the VIN number. …Read More »

Rare Shelby: 289 Cobra CSX2557

ShelbyCobraUSRRCAfter spending this weekend at the Monterey Historics we had to post this Shelby.  Watching these

cars dice it up with the GT350’s, R-Model’s and Corvette’s was a real treat, besides, any Cobra holds a special place for us.  We’d like to see this one get back on the track with some of its well run siblings.

CSX2557 was run in the 1964 Bridgehampton 500km by Charlie Hayes but DNF.  Other than that, we can’t seem to find much history on the car.  Regardless, the car looks to be in great shape with one of the cleanest engine compartments we’ve seen on a racecar.  We especially like weber setup twin side-pipes à la the Daytona Coupe. …Read More »
