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.

1966 Plymouth Fury VIP Hardtop
$21,900
A LOADED California car with the optional 383 V8! Sold new and resided in the very ultra wealthy neighborhood of Pacific Palisades (We hold the original owner warranty card.), This car spent a very large majority of it's life on the west coast and it shows.
A fully loaded VIP model. Produced to compete with the Caprice and LTD. Options include but are not limited to...
- AIR CONDITIONING
- POWER WINDOWS
- POWER BENCH SEAT
- 383 V8 ENGINE
- AUTOMATIC TRANS
- REMOTE MIRROR
- RALLEY WHEELS
- VIP PACKAGE
We have this car on consignment for a recently retired and well respected mechanic in the area. he loved this car and has owned it about ten years.
A ROCK SOLID body and undercarriage. No signs of previous body work, ever. A beautiful repaint of the original shade of yellow. The original black vinyl roof was replaced professionally under it's current ownership as was the interior headliner. Both matching factory specs. The seating, dash and carpet are all believed to be original to the car.
Although originally equipped with the optional 383 engine, this car has had an engine replacement at some point but with a correct, 1966 dated 383. At that time, a dual carb intake was added with two Edlebrock carburators and a full custom dual exhaust. This car sounds amazing!
A rare Mopar indeed. A gentleman's muscle car. A bankers hot rod. A nice running and driving car that just needs to be driven and enjoyed. It spends far too much time in a garage not being used. Some issues I noted was an inoperable fuel and temp gauge. Also, although the A/C is all hooked up, it blows warm air. Not perfect but perfectly fine.
Check out the link below for the full gallery of pictures and ask for me to send you a running, walk around video I took.

1950 Ford F1 Pickup
$23,900
This is such a COOL truck from the very first generation of F Series Ford trucks! Yes, Ford spent over a million dollars in research and tooling on the production of this truck that started it's life in 1948. Here we have one from 1950. Larger cab, more payload and a new, one piece windshield. Also, new for any truck a standard drivers side sun visor, ash tray and glove box. A big deal for trucks during that time period.
This is a nice, factory stock, high end driver quality truck. One that super nice and makes you proud to own but yet not so nice that your afraid to drive it. It's most recent owner drove this car quite regularly. I love that all it's previous owners resisted the urge to resto-mod this truck which is what happened to so many others. That coupled with the fact that these trucks were built to work and used up and thrown away decades ago, makes this quite a rare sight in this form nowadays.
Recently tuned by a local classic car repair service, the truck is very turn key. A little cantankerous at cold start up (choke) but once warmed up, she'll run all day. Should still get a good going through as it hasn't been driven much the last couple of years. The directional lights illuminate but don't blink. Small things like that. I have this truck on consignment and have not gone through it myself.
Super straight body with no rust or corrosion to speak of. A VERY CLEAN truck. A scuff or chip or scratch here and there but that's to be expected for a truck being used. Looks like an older repaint in a very period and correct dark blue. A reupholstered seat in correct leather/vinyl. A clean interior overall. Nice original dashboard with all working gauges. Even the gas gauge works. Nice chrome bumpers and trim. Decent tires.
Just a great truck. I get calls all the time for old trucks and I rarely get them in. Here is your chance!
Check out the gallery of pictures in the link below and watch for my YouTube walk around on my YouTube channel. Need transport? I can arrange that too. Financing options too!

1967 Chevy Corvette Roadster
$74,900
Here we offer the best of the C2 generation of Corvette. The most refined and sought after or all C2's. The 1967 differentiates it's self with subtle differences like functional front fender louvers, a center mounted back up light, hand brake, ect. Just a very smart package overall. This particular example takes it one step further with it's Goodwood Green over dark green interior. A 327 V8 under the hood, a FOUR SPEED MANUAL transmission and side pipes.
It appears this car was mildly restored many years ago. Done to a high but not THE highest standard. Body, paint, trim and chrome are all VERY nice. The interior appears to have had correct reproduction seat covers installed. The door panels, dash, console and even the carpet appear to all be original! The odometer shows 52,981 and I tend to believe that's actual, true mileage. The 327 is in fact numbers matching with the VIN stamp (see picture gallery).
This is a perfectly turn key car. No projects or drama. Used regularly by it's most recent owner with lots of trouble free miles under it's belt. A few chips here and there and a paint imperfection here and there as well but no fiberglass cracks to be found. The undercarriage is clean but not detailed. It's a regularly driven Vette as they all should be.
Just an extremely nice example you can enjoy from day one. Will never loose value. Can only appreciate. Priced well below the competition too.
Check out the gallery of over 100 photos in the link below. I also have a quick driving video I'm happy to share with any serious parties. Financing and transport is easy too.

1962 Chevy Corvair Club Coupe
$9,900
A super nice older restoration (around 2010) of a highly sought after model from the first generation of Corvair. 1962 was a pique year for production after realizing it was the sporty, bucket seat models that sold. Here we have a numbers matching Roman Red on red bucket seat interior with the desirable four speed manual transmission and the upgraded 102 HP flat six engine. So turn key, this car could be easily driven daily. We just did a afull paint correction and hardly a flaw to be found. It came out fantastic! The interior appears to have been completely redone to factory spec using correct reproduction finishes. Beautiful seats, carpeting, side panels and headliner. The dash pad has some adhesion issues at the windshield side, presumably from the Florida sun which is where this car came from.
Decent chrome and trim with usual minor pitting and some minor chrome peel on both replacement bumpers. This car was restored approximately 15 years ago or more. Overall, it's held up amazingly well.
102 aluminum flat six fires right up no matter how long it sits and is completely drivable. We just installed a new, upgraded fuel pump from Clark's Corvair Parts.
Just a really fun, easy to own driver you won't be ashamed of. Check out the full gallery of pictures in the link below and be on the lookout for my full YouTube walk around video on my YouTube channel.
FUN FACT - This car was the cover photo of the Macy's spring 2013 catalog. It's former owner in FL was a Macy's employee and was asked if her car could be used. It's pictured on the beach in Florida. Check it out in the photo gallery...

1978 Pontiac Firebird Formula
SALE PENDING
On April 1st 1978, Jennifer Berish walked into Paul Patry Buick Pontiac in Garrettsville OH and ordered herself this beautiful Formula with a mere $20 deposit. looked like it took a couple of months to come in as it wasn't first titled until 6/20.
Jennifer obviously loved her car because she drove it sparingly, keeping track of gas mileage and maintenance mileage intervals (We have her log book.). She kept her pride and joy all the way until 2015, having accumulated just about 33,000 miles by then! The car was then sold to it's second owner and most recent owner and now has accumulated a total of just 48,491 miles! Yes, this is a TWO OWNER CAR.
She knew what she wanted and checked a lot of the right boxes on her order form. She wanted some performance and a sporty look without opting for the top tier Trans Am. After all, you could equip your Formula very much like a Trans Am anyway. She didn't quite go that far, choosing luxury and comfort over performance. She did choose the small block, 305 V8 to power her new sports car and decided on the Hydramatic automatic transmission to bolt behind it.
The comfort and convenience options followed and we have a copy of the original build sheet and window sticker to back it all up. Options include...
- Air Conditioning (COLD)
- Cruise Control
- Rear Window Defroster
- Lamp Group
- Tilt Steering Column
- Custom Trim Group
- Velour Seating
- Pedal Trim
- Interior Appointment
- Pulse W/ Wipers
- Power Windows
- W/O Moldings
- Side Trim Moldings
- Soft Ray Tint
- Rally Gages
This car is a true survivor quality. Appears to have most, if not all it's original Laredo Brown paint which shows some age but still very nice. The interior condition is mind blowing and it's all original, certainly backing up the odometer. It's so rare to find one like this as so many got treaded badly by second, third and fourth owners and just tossed away or crashed.
Everything seems to work as designed but admittedly I did not check the cruise control. The power windows slide up and down like new and the A/C blows instant cold air. All serviced and ready to go.

1965 Chevy Corvair Corsa Turbo Coupe
$24,900
BEAUTIFUL and highly sought after. We very rarely are able to offer one of these in this configuration although we get a lot of requests for such. Here is your chance.
Beautifully restored back in the late 2000's after a lengthy storage in South Carolina (1985-2007). This coupe appears to always have been a rust free, southern example. The code matching Mist Blue paint still shines like new with few to no flaws after 15 plus years. The contrasting white bucket seat interior compliments it perfectly. The interior was replaced with factory reproductions around the same time and has held up amazingly well, mostly because the car has been used for pleasure, shows and cruises only ever since. The most recent owner who purchased it from a fellow Corvair enthusiast back in 2021. He's done some very tasteful upgrades and maintenance that includes those super comfortable and period looking front bucket seats. They look and feel amazing and recline. If you didn't know, you wouldn't know that aren't correct for the car. If you've ever driven a 65-66 Corvair with original seats, you'll know what I mean, they are not suited for long drives. These seats absolutely are. Also done since 2021...
- Fuel Tank
- Sending Unit
- Electric Fuel Pump
- Engine Bay Wiring
- Petronix Ignition
- Rechromed Bumpers
- Rechromed Guards
- Rebuilt Carburator
This Corvair is very turn key and ready for enjoyment. No projects. The Custom Auto Sound stereo works and sounds great (NO dash cutting ever). The only thing I found was an inoperative clock (typical).
This car is a factory numbers matching Corsa but did not leave the factory with the 180 HP factory turbocharger option (according to the Fisher Data Tag). This car would have been built with the 140 HP, four carb engine originally. Whomever did the turbo installation did a very knowledgeable conversion. The untrained eye would never know and the engine used for the conversion is a true turbo block with the RL code. Of course, this car was built with the four speed manual transmission which it's still equipped. Just a gorgeous car with the proper performance equipment and colors. I dare say I won't see another one like this in a very long time, if ever and I sell and have sold a lot of Corvairs. This is one of the finest examples I've seen.
