1965 Shelby : GT350


Seller: marc1.net
Price: $415,000
Listed: September 25th, 2007
Location: San Juan Capistrano, California

Every once in a while a special car comes along that really speaks of muscle car history and this is that car. In 1965 Ford had been rebuffed by the sports Car Club of America, the sanctioning body for amateur sports car racing in this country, when they attempted to get the Mustang accepted as a sports car. The fiercely independent SCCA did not appreciate being leaned on by a large mega buck corporation. So Ford turned to their resident performance expert, Carroll Shelby. Instead of trying to steamroll the SCCA, Shelby applied some good-ole-boy massaging. The SCCA said in order for his cars to be sanctioned, they would have to be two seaters, have a modified engine or suspension, but not both and there would have to be 100 of them. Thats where this car comes into the picture. this GT350 is car serial number 69. one of the original cars that allowed the GT350 to be sanctioned by the SCCA. What makes this special car so unique is that it actually raced brand new in 1965 at the SCCA. This car raced in the SCCA and took 1st place in B production and 8th over all at the Daytona Nationals. This car made history doing what Carroll Shelby and Ford had in mind and took 1st place doing it !!! This is a numbers match 65 GT3500, one of the first built, documented in the registry with its racing history, it is an original documented blue striped car with original and optional upgraded wheels and also has a copy of its original invoice. The car has also been signed by Carroll Shelby himself. Cars with provenance like this do not often present themselves for sale. This is a unique opportunity to own a legend built and signed by a legend. This IS a true representative of American Muscle-Car History....READ MORE and SEE 22 ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

More Porsche Carrera GT information courtesy of Wikipedia
The Carrera GT is powered by an all-new 5.7 litre V10 engine producing 612 SAE horsepower (450 kW). Porsche claims it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.5 mph) in 3.9 seconds and has a maximum speed of 330 km/h (206 mph), although road tests indicated that in actuality the car could accelerate from 0-60 in under 3.5 seconds and to 0-100 in 6.8 seconds and has a top speed of 335-340km/h (209-212.5mph). The Carrera GT has a basic 5 colour paint schemes which include: Black, Guards Red, Fayence Yellow, Basalt Black, GT Silver and Seal Grey. A six-speed manual transmission is the only available transmission, in contrast to its rival the Ferrari Enzo which is only offered with sequential manual transmission. With the Ferrari Enzo priced around $660,000, the Carrera GT base price of $448,400 makes the dream of owning a piece of Le Mans inspired technology somewhat more attainable. The Carrera GT is also priced at $559,000 in Canadian dollars, and at 390,000 in Euros.

The Carrera GT has large side inlets and airdams that help cool the large V-10 that lies framed by the carbon fibre rear hood. Fitted with Porsche's latest brake system, the 15 inch ceramic pad brakes make a stunning appearance underneath the 19 inch front and 20 inch rear tires. Similar to other Porsche Models, the GT includes an automated rear wing spoiler which deploys in the higher ranges of speed (70 mph).

Technology of note includes a pure carbon fibre monocoque and subframe, dry-sump lubrication and inboard suspension. The carbon fibre monocoque and subframe were produced and assembled by the ATR Composites Group of Italy. The main innovation on this vehicle however is the use of a ceramic clutch. This is the first appearance of this race car technology in a road car. The clutch, although difficult to master, allows the engine to sit lower in the chassis than in any other super car, both improving its aerodynamics and lowering its center of gravity.

Despite a seemingly difficult clutch, Porsche incorporated computer management of the clutch when the car is on an incline. Drivers are able to lift completely off the clutch and not stall the car.

Unlike some of its rivals, the Carrera GT does not use the same electronic driving aids such as dynamic stability control, but it does have traction control. Porsche engineers have designed a communicative chassis and rely on the ability of the driver.

1957 Mercedes-Benz : SL-Class Gullwing

Seller: bid123sold
Price: $268,655
Listed: July 30th, 2006
Location: Rochester, Michigan

Introduced at the 1954 New York Auto Show - unlike previous models introduced at either the Frankfurt or Geneva shows - the 300SL was best known both for its distinctive gullwing or butterfly wing doors and for being the first-ever gasoline-powered car equipped with fuel injection directly into the combustion chamber.

The gullwing version was available from March 1955 to 1957. In Mercedes-Benz fashion, the "300" referred to the engine's cylinder displacement; in this case, three liters. The "SL" as applied to a roadster stood for "Sport Leicht" or "Sport Light."

The gullwing doors, hinged at the roof and so named because the open doors resembled a bird's outstretched wings, were implemented as such to accommodate for the car's tubular chassis, designed by DBAG's chief developing engineer, Rudolf Uhlenhaut. Part of the chassis passed through what would be the lower half of a standard door. This tubular chassis was a necessity, as the original car was designed solely for racing and needed to be as light as possible while still providing a high level of strength. This required the driver and his/her passengers to do some gymnastics to get in or out of the car, usually by sitting on and sliding across the wide door sill. A steering wheel with a tilt-away column made the process considerably easier.

Today, the 300SL with its unique doors and technological firsts is considered one of the most collectible Mercedes-Benz of all time, with prices reaching well past the $600,000 mark.

Chassis # 0043 is an original late example in stellar condition, which came originally delivered to California, with US specs in DB180 Silver over 953 Black leather interior, with matching fitted luggage and Rudge Wheels......READ MORE and SEE TWENTY ADDITIONAL PHOTOS
