The Studebaker Hawk
The Studebaker company out of South Bend Indiana was known for its sedate but sturdy styling. It's low slung, sleek and eye catching styling caught the eye of many, including the automotive press which loved it. The Hawk name was branded to these coupes by the mid fifties and it continued successfully into production with some changes through the 1964 model year. Today, Studebaker is best known for the Hawk and later, the much applauded Avanti. Supercharged versions of these cars are rising in value as the buying public sees the value and contribution they made to the car industry.

1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Sedan
$51,900. EXQUISITE doesn't describe this MUSEUM QUALITY convertible sedan from the FDR era. Meticulously restored to a tune north of SIX FIGURES! Just an outstanding example. A show winner for sure. It's restorer was a man of fine tase and fussy. Every detail correct down to the nuts and bolts. Impeccable paint in a very period deep burgundy, almost brown in some light. Just gorgeous! Correct tan leather interior. Perfect woodgraining, gages, knobs and levers. Fully restored from the top to the bottom. Quite possibly a frame off exercise.
Super smooth running flat head V8. You can almost not hear it running. No drips. No smoke. Smooth shifting, three speed manual transmission. Nice clutch, ect. No projects here. Just get in, go and dust off the trophy shelf.
Could qualify for a trailer queen but we'd much rather see her get used and shown off on the American roads as it once was.
Just and absolute incredible survivor from an era when so few cars survived. A true piece of American history.
Full gallery of pics in the link below. I also have a full walk around video to share and any questions that you might have I will answer in a timely manner.

1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner
SALE PENDING....Here we have a GORGEOUS example of a 1959 Ford Sunliner. This is the full size soft top version of the linup for 59. This is not the trouble prone and complicated retractable hardtop model. Those were called Skyliners.
Listing on behalf of a family who wishes us to find a new forever home. This car in it's striking combination of numbers matching Inca Gold with contrasting gold, white and black interior is just a stunner. Not to mention the beautiful Kelsey Hayes true wire wheels! Jaw dropping.
Equipped with the optional 332 V8 and mated to a three speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car is also equipped with power steering, brakes and top, a town and country factory radio (inoperative) and fully functional POWER WINDOWS. A nicely equipped convertible for 1959!
Rock solid body. GORGEOUS paint and trim. Not a flaw to be had. Nice, white convertible top too!
But wait, there's more....George Barris has signed the underside of the trunk lid. Fun and a great conversation piece from the guy that brought us the Batmobile and Monkeymobile. Just to name a couple. The period correct accessory grille pays and omage to George but we do have the original factory grille to include as well as TWO car covers and a set of chrome fender skirts.

1963 Mercury Comet Custom Convertible
$18,900. Available next month! This beautifully restored, red on red and rarely seen Mercury will be the talk of the town! Stay tuned or reserve now!
1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible
NEW PRICE! $14,900. Here we have something very special! A rare, factory authorized Trans Am convertible from 1984. An expensive option, some say adding upwards of $14K to MSRP!
With just 68,517 miles from new and backed up by Carfax, this rare roadster has been very obviously babied it's entire life. Spending a large portion of that in Florida.
Converted by a company called Autoform out of Indiana and Oklahoma, no corners were cut in the conversion. Lots of reinforcements added to eliminate body flex. The rear seat removed and a fiberglass tub in stalled to stow the manual soft top. This created a full, two seat roadster look. Have you ever seen one? We haven't. It's been said that about 600 were converted between 1983 and 1986 but no concrete production figures could be found.
Nicely equipped car too...
L69 High Output 305
WS6 Performance Pkg
WS4 Trans Am Pkg
Power Windows
Power Door Locks
Tilt Steering Wheel
Air Conditioning (inop)
Automatic Transmission
AM/FM CD Player
Extremely nice repaint in the original red with proper reproduction graphics. A newer convertible top also. Nicely sorted with a fresh tune-up, carb rebuild and a new set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Could still use a set of valve cover gaskets as they seem to seep a little but not crucial.
A very nice cruiser that will turn heads everywhere it goes and a car that will most definitely increase in value as the collector demographic changes and 80's cars, especially iconic models like this become more and more sought after.
Check out the gallery of pictures in the link below. A very clean car at every angle.
When will you ever see another one?

1988 Cadillac SeVille Sedan
$10,900. This rarely seen example has just 47,649 original miles accumulated. Just two loving owners. The second being a GM car collector. Never abused. Always garaged. A stunning example and rare in this color combination of silver and black two tone. Complimented by a supple black leather interior. Never in an accident. A clean Carfax report shows zero issues and it's ownership history. A file full or maintenance and repair receipts, many from Cadillac dealers prove it's provenance.
Fully equipped, we can find very little to complain about. The right rear power door lock actuator is finicky and the paint on the rear bumper fascia is showing just the beginning signs of deterioration but that's being fussy. Not a ding or a scratch to be had. Full digital instrumentation and it all works flawlessly. Nothing to do but show it, drive it and enjoy it. If you are looking for one of these, look no further as they don't get much better than this.

1969 AMC AMX
SALE PENDING... This is what happens when a car company that is known for frugal, well built and reliable transportation suddenly gets in the muscle car game. Hardly noticed then and for many years to follow due to the sea of Fords, GM's and Mopars, they are now finally coming into their own and have become quite sought after. Hard to find because they didn't build a huge amount and the ones they did mostly fell into the wrong hands. Rare today to find a mostly stock example. That is, until now.
Here we have an example that looks like one you would have looked at used on the AMC lot around 1972. Some wear but nothing severe. One thing (other than the obvious) that makes this car special is the addition of the factory Go-Pack. This performance option which included...
- 390 V8
- Limited Slip Differential
- Dual Exhaust
- Heavy Duty Cooling
- Power Brakes
- Heavy Duty Suspension
- 5 Spoke brushed wheels
- Center Stripes
In addition to that, this AMX is also equipped with power steering and a 'Shift Command' automatic floor shifted transmission.
Finished in code correct Butternut Beige (code 77A) with a saddle interior, this car was lightly restored decades ago but has been sparingly used since and has held up nicely. A very solid and straight body showing little to no previous body repair. A clean undercarriage that also shows no previous signs of repair. In other words, this is a GOOD ONE!
With just 8,293 AMX models produced in 1969 and of those just 2,183 with the automatic transmisison and 390 V8, this is not only a good one but a rare one.
Overall a very nice, straight, clean and stock condition car. Not a concourse show winner but still one you'd be proud to show off. This is what I will call a VERY STRONG number 3 car. Leave it alone ( I would) and enjoy it or bring it to the next level. It's all up to you but one thing is for sure, it will be a very long time, if ever before we get another one of these in. That's for sure!

1983 Datsun 280ZX
COMING SOON!
1996 Mercedes Benz E320
$7,900. With just over 58,000 true miles, this E Class Mercedes is said to be one of the last 'true' Mercedes Benz models. I can see why. It's a TANK!
Incredibly well preserved, maintained and cherished by all 3 of it's owners. The second owners having it for 19 years! Gleaming black with a SPOTLESS tan leather interior. You'd swear this car was 3 years old.
As fully loaded as you'd expect from a Mercedes and everything works. No expense spared to keep this modern classic up to date. A brand new four wheel brake job rounds out the maintenance. Nothing to worry about here. A turn key car with a stellar reputation for durability. Most accumulating over 200K miles found online. This one is barely broken in. A terrific first car for a high school or college student or just a classic to keep around as a second car.
Only known issues are two small areas of paint bubbles at both rear wheel arches and a spare key that's keyless feature doesn't work on. Yes, we have two sets of keys.
Check out the gallery of pics in the link below. Priced beyond reasonably. You can't go wrong. Especially if you know these cars. Ones this clean with low miles don't exist!

1964 Chevy Corvair Club Coupe
SALE PENDING.. Affectionately known as 'Mrs Beeman', I've personally know this car and it's last owner for close to 30 years!
I'm assisting a family in settling an estate that includes this 1964 Corvair. The deceased owner was a well known Corvair mechanic in southern Maine. Became known as far back as the 1970's when he owned a general repair business / gas station as the 'Corvair guy'. He worked on this car for it's original owner (Mrs Beeman) for years until she was unable to drive any longer and he bought it. Probably sometime in the 1980's. He kept it, drove it and cared for it until his passing last year. Now it's for sale.
A repaint of the original Meadow Green with a nice, off white bucket seat interior. A Powerglide automatic transmission and the optional 110 HP engine. Speaking of options, she also has a factory rear mounted antenna, dual bowtie mirrors, an unusual and rarely seen, oil bath air cleaner, full tinted glass and front seat belts with retractors. Bumper guards and an original accessory GM floor mat too!
Starts right up and runs nice. Shifts, brakes and drives fine. A fresh battery and fuel pump too. Needs to be driven. Been primarily sitting since 2018. Tires are older and should be replaced.
SUPER solid body and undercarriage. Never undercoated and looks to have been rustproofed at some point. VERY CLEAN and rust free. Just some signs of trunk floor repair somewhere along the way but not earth shattering and usable as is.
Overall a great, entry level Corvair you can get in and drive today and enjoy. Tinker as you go. Not a project. I don't sell those. This is a good one with a good story behind it!
Car will be sold with a transferrable Maine state registration from 2017. Maine does not title older vehicles.

1977 Chevy K-10 Scottsdale Short Bed Pickup
$12,900. Here we have one of the most iconic automotive truck designs in history. A 1977 'square body' pickup truck from Chevrolet. A two tone Scottsdale edition with a SHORT BED and one, adult owner! 4X4 too!
Purchased new in 1977 to be used as his work truck, this truck was used as transportation and also service use around the general mechanics shop he ran for decades in Massachusetts. Yes, used to plow but only his parking lot and home driveway. Used to tow on occasion a one car trailer also. All along being cared for by him, a professional and fastidious mechanic. Always garaged either at his shop or at his home. Once retiring to Maine, this truck was used very sparingly, mostly just to plow his long driveway during winter. Very little in the way of salt exposure and it's chassis proves that. This is a very solid truck! Lightly restored in the 90's with fresh paint and a reupholstered seat. Note just a couple of soft spots on both front floor pans in the pics.
The odometer shows 43,013 miles but it's safe to assume it's a true 143,013 which still isn't bad for one of these durable workhorses. Equipped with a 350 V8, automatic transmission, power steering and brakes and an original and functioning AM/FM radio. Also included is a vintage CB radio, probably installed when new. We didn't remove it. It's just too cool.
Starts right up and runs incredibly well. Shifts and stops as it should and the 4x4 is smooth as silk with easy locking hubs and smooth shifting linkage. No worries there.
THIS IS A NICE TRUCK! Check out the photos in the gallery link below and search our YouTube video under 'Orphan Car Garage' for a full walk around.
This truck is being sold with a transferrable Maine registration from 2021 as Maine does not title vehicles this old.
This one won't last long...
