Possibly Ex-Carroll Shelby: 1951 MG T-Series TD

This MG has a pretty interesting story. The current owner believes it was originally sold through Carroll Shelby and raced by him in 1951-52. He’s got some documents and photos of the car right after that period but nothing confirming 100% that Shelby actually raced it. If someone can come up with a document proving [...]

British-American Mixture: 1954 Austin Healey 100 with Ford 289 V8

Classic British looks with V8 American power; sounds like a great mixture to us [purists best look elsewhere]. This 1954 Austin Healey has been transformed with the addition of a Ford 289 cubic inch V8 and T10 four-speed. We’re OK with transplant’s like this one, as there are other ‘perfect’ Healey’s out there, probably sitting [...]

Same Owner since 1967: 1966 Griffith Series 400

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 [...]

RM Auction Block: 1995 Ford GT90 Concept Car

January 24, 2009: We’re back from a great weekend in Scottsdale where we enjoyed watching the action at Barrett Jackson, RM Auctions and Gooding & Co. We were very disappointed at RM when they announced the GT90 had been pulled from the event. We were looking forward to seeing the car and watching the bidding. [...]

Eligible Everywhere: 1957 AC Aceca with FIA logbook

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 [...]

All-Aluminum: Kirkham Motorsports KMP 357

Kirkham Motorsports makes some of the best Shelby Cobra reproductions in the world. If you’ve never heard of them, AutoWeek did a great article on Kirkham in 1996. Two brothers, David and Thomas Kirkham started the company, building aluminum bodies to exacting duplication out of an old MiG factory in Poland. The story is worth [...]

Original Racing History: McKee Mk III with Lola T70 Body

This Lola-looking racecar is actually a McKee, the third chassis McKee Engineering constructed. The story is that Carroll Shelby ordered it for Bob Johnson to compete in the 1964 USRRC and until recently its whereabouts were unknown. There is some great information on the early McKee chassis and this car specifically in a thread you [...]

Steal It: 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback

We know, yes… a lot of Mustang’s lately. What can we say, we love them. This car is pretty straight forward, Red/Black with some Shelby bits, the reason we posted it here is the price, $15,000. It wasn’t long ago that bare Mustang fastback shells were selling for that money and if this car is [...]

Un-Restored Diamond in the Rough: 1966 Shelby Mustang G.T. 350

We usually like to feature cars that are ready to drive, show or race; this ’66 Shelby G.T. 350 is a bit different in that it’s largely un-restored and can use a little TLC. But, that’s exactly why we had to post it. We recently posted another 1966 Shelby, which you can find here if [...]

Factory Prepared: 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R with 8k miles

October 13, 2009: Well, that was fast! EBay shows the Cobra R sold last night for the “Buy It Now” price of $37,900. Looks like there are still people buying cars out there… October 11, 2009: If you’re looking for a “future collectible” or a car you can hold on to for a long time, [...]
