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 »

Here’s a chance to own a unique 4 cylinder racer, with some cool history, for probably less than the cost of an engine rebuild on most V8’s. This Fiat Abarth ran the 2007 La Carrera Panamericana in Mexico, starting dead last but finishing in the top 50. Could be a hoot, currently on EBay with Reserve-Not-Met at $7,600. …Read More »

This TVR Grantura may be 1 of 4 Ex-Works or Ex-Factory Lightweight TVR race cars from the early 60’s. Grantura’s were the first TVR cars, the Series II was upgraded with a choice of 4 cylinder engines and standard disc brakes. If this history can be proven, which seems potentially possible, we think this TVR could be worth more than the roughly $56,000 asking price, plus shipping from the UK and refurbishment. …Read More »

If you don’t know much about the Superformance GT40 check out their website. These are built in South Africa, steel-mono and ‘licensed’ recreations that mimic the originals with a high level of accuracy. These cars cost about $80,000 for a painted and assembled chassis, plus roughtly $35,000-$45,000 for an engine and transmission. This particular car is fully assembled with a Roush 427R and ZF trans, has only 1,600 miles, and we think is a great deal at $85,000. …Read More »

In 1954, he founded Kellison Engineering and begain professionally engineering sports cars with fiberglass bodies, at a price point sometimes twice that of a Corvette! For more info on Kellison, his company and his cars, check out this great aritcle in
Kit Car Magazine. This particular Kellison “Special” (the seller claims 1 of 5) is fitted with a fuel-injected Corvette 327 so you’ll be able to hold your own against those big Ferrari V-12’s when you’re placed next to them on the grid. Because this particular car is eligible for some many vintage events, $175,000 seems like a reasonable point of entry, especially when you factor in that you get to run with the multi-million dollar Ferrari’s, Jags, Cobra’s and the like. …Read More »

We have no clue when the first Porsche was painted bright green but we know whoever decided on that color scheme started a trend. If we had to propose a theory we’d bet that with the wide rear fenders (hips), low front nose and headlights sticking out like eyes, he wanted his car to look like a frog. Maybe it was Kermit The Frog, maybe not… but lets face it, you don’t see any Ferrari’s or Corvette’s in this color. The guys over at Teamspeed claim there have been 63 different shades of Porsche green, they have pictures of most. Regardless of color, this car looks to be pretty straight and may be a good deal with an asking price of $25,000, keep reading to find out all the upgrades. …Read More »

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 can find here at Autosport.com. What you need to know is, this car used to be an open cockpit with a unique body. By all accounts, it was involved in a few shunts and the original body needed modification and eventually the car ended up with the nose from Dan Gurney’s Lotus 18. In the early 70’s or so, it seems a fellow had the current Lola T70 body fitted to make it more competitive with the cars running at the time. Fully original it is not but this car has a unique history which is always welcomed. …Read More »

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 »
