Ex-Royal Golf Cart: Matching-Numbers 1955 Chevrolet Corvette V8
This 1955 Chevrolet Corvette (chassis VE55S001239) is described as export car 239 of 700 built. Sent straight from the factory to Belgium, the car is believed to have served as King Leopold’s golf cart sometime prior to returning home to the US in 1993. Notably, ’55 was the first year that the Corvette was offered with a V8, and the only year an eight cylinder was fitted within the original C1 bodystyle–1956-’62 cars wore substantially re-styled and arguably fussier bodywork. This one’s been restored and is said to remain matching-numbers, the seller’s claim of “near-perfect” conditon supported by decent photography and several awards noted within the ad. Find it here on eBay in Fairmont, West Virginia with reserve not met.
One Year Styling: Rare 1961 Dodge Dart Pioneer Two-Door Sedan
This 1961 Dodge Dart Pioneer two-door sedan is from the second model year of production for the long-running Dart nameplate, though interestingly wears one year-only styling–1960 examples looked completely different despite also being considered first-generation cars, while 1962 saw the introduction of an all-new, second gen model–again with substantially changed body lines. This one’s claimed to be very original, presumably including the claimed strong-running 225ci straight-six. Everything looks to be complete, potentially making the car a good candidate for restoration. Find it here on eBay in Toano, Virginia with reserve not met.
Four Gear Drive Cams: All Original 1984 Honda VF1000R
This 1984 Honda VF1000R (VIN SC162002340) looks great and is said to have just 11,484 miles. A Euro import model, official US sales wouldn’t begin until the following model year. Though based on the standard VF1000, bodywork was entirely different, suspension heavily re-worked, and the 998cc V4 gained an exotic, race-bred gear drive for its four individual cams. Though a bit heavy and rather expensive when new, these bikes offered excellent, stable handling, tons of power, sharp styling, and a good degree of exclusivity as well. US models had 125 HP, though this Paris-sourced example should make three less–still enough for a sub 11-second quarter mile time. Said to be all-original apart from the exhaust, the seller further claims perfect running condition. Find it here on eBay in West Tisbury, Massachusetts for $9,500 OBO. Special thanks to BaT reader AMF for this submission.
Well Kept Camper: 1965 Chevrolet C20 Royal Explorer
This 1965 camper was built on a Chevrolet C20 chassis by Coons Custom Coach Manufacturing Company. The seller claims a light exterior restoration has been done, but a nice, soft patina remains. The odometer reads just over 81k miles, and good condition inside and out suggests its led an easy life. Notably, all cab and coach bodywork remains original. Find it here on eBay in Torrington, Connecticut with no reserve.
