Bring a Trailer Daily Mail




This 1978 DeTomaso Deauville sedan (chassis THDVSK01470) was purchased by the seller 26 years ago and is one of around 244 made between 1971 and 1982. It is a late first series car, and was acquired by the seller with 55k miles and now has 80k miles. The seller says that it has never been restored and remains highly original, though it was repainted in the original color when he purchased it. He drive the car regularly from 1987 to 1996, but briefly thought about selling it 20 years ago and advertised it in Road & Track, but was happy that it never sold. He made some subtle modifications to make it a better driver, like Wilwood front brakes and and Accel electronic ignition, but all factory parts have been kept and are included with the car. It is now available in Shermans Dale, Pennsylvania for $35k.

This 1950 Cadillac Fleetwood short wheelbase limousine is said to have originally been custom built for GM chairman of the time, Alfred Bradley. It's not said how many were built, but it sounds as if Harley Earl and other high-ranking executives were given similar cars--we're sure there weren't more than a handful, and that few remain today. This particular was built at the GM Tech Center, and started life as a standard Fleetwood Sixty Special Sedan. It's running and looks to be largely complete, but is in need of total restoration. Find it here on eBay in somewhere in the US with reserve not met.

This 1963 TVR Grantura Mk III (chassis 8609) has been raced all over the Pacific Northwest since the mid '80s, but is said to remain in largely original spec. We don't see a roll cage for example, and if the new buyer wanted to it could probably be returned to street spec with relatively little difficulty. It looks great in a rich blue over Minilite-like wheels, and with so much competition history under its belt is likely to be quite sorted as well. Find it here on eBay in Vancouver, Canada with a $37k BIN.
