Claimed to have the largest private collection of Fords in the world, Ford Museum den Hartogh in Hillegom, Netherlands is auctioning off 47 of its pre-war cars between September 28th and October 2nd. Translation is tricky, but we gather the reason for the sale is to keep the collection fresh, presumably meaning cars comprising the sale's lots already have replacements waiting in reserve. It's a bit strange to think of such a sizable collection of early Fords residing with the Dutch, but several uniquely specced examples suggest many of the cars were originally exported to if not built in Europe. Find the full auction catalog here, with four of our picks below. Special thanks to reader Mels N. for the submission! Click here to read more... |
This 1962 Mercedes Benz Unimog 404 (chassis 404114022425) is the impressive-looking product of a recent restoration. Details are scarce, but a good collection of decent photos seem back the seller's claims of good quality workmanship. A gas-powered, former military radio truck, it retains all its original folding tables and infantry benches in back, and we think this Dakar-inspired drab gray color scheme looks great. Find it here on Craigslist in Dallas, Texas for $20,900.

This 1991 Ford Taurus SHO is fresh from an impressive, National SHO Convention Best of Show-winning restoration. Claimed to have been more than a $38,000 investment, the car has accumulated less than 7k miles since completion and does look very impressive as photographed. We'll admit to having mixed feelings about these cars—something that can't be said of whoever dropped nearly 40 grand on this one—but they're mostly positive and we always appreciate an obsessively restored rarity. Find this one here on Hemmings in Springfield, Ohio for $18k firm.
