We are excited to offer another beautiful Jaguar E-type. This 1966 Jaguar E-type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe was built on November 4th of 1965 and the date of dispatch was November 22 of 1965. It is in the original color combination as per the Jaguar Heritage Certificate. It has been refinished in its original exterior color of Cream while still wearing its original Black leather seats. The car was originally sold by Frank Millard Sports Cars, Inc. of Encino, California to Virginia and Dr. James Tilden of Los Angeles, CA. This car is very rare as it was one of the first Jaguar E-types equipped with the dealer installed Cool Aire console air conditioning system and is fully functional and blows cold air today.
The Jaguar E-type presented here is an original California car, but moved around a bit until it found its long term home in Phoenix Arizona in 1973. We purchased this car in 2023 from the owner whose ownership spanned the last 50 years. The car only had 42,645 original miles when we purchased the car. It now has 42,700 miles and counting, as we drive our cars. The previous owner took meticulous car of the car over the years and climate was conducive to this type of car. This Jaguar was used sparingly over the past few years so we had to go through the car and invested close to $20,000 into the car to make it an excellent higher end driver to be enjoyed. As a result this car runs, drives, shifts and stops excellent. Furthermore, it shows extremely well as the car is in stunning overall condition. As mentioned earlier the car was very well maintained, but needed attention to bring it back to its former driving glory. Most of the work we had completed was as follows:

Overall this car is wonderful high end driver with nice history, low mileage and rare Air Conditioning for an earlier Jaguar E-type Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe.

NEW ARRIVAL/IN PROCESS: We are proud to offer this beautiful 1970 Jaguar E-type Series II Fixed Head Coupe. This Jaguar was built on October 8th of 1969 and the date of dispatch was November 5th 1969. The first owner was Mr. Cotton Guio of Big Piney in Wyoming USA. This great car is the original color combination of Regency Red with biscuit/tan interior. It has history, receipts and correspondence going back to 1973. It was never abused and always kept up with the utmost care. We are privileged to have owned this car several times for the pas 14 years. Our original purchase of this car was in 2010 from a gentleman in NC who owned this car since the early 2000s. I then sold it to very nice collector in NY who had it for a few years, but unfortunately and unexpectedly passed away. We purchased the car back from his family and did some refresh work to the engine. We then sold the car to another nice man in Maine who had the car for the past 3 years. He enjoyed the car, but did not drive it a lot only placing less than 700 miles on the car. We then sold this Jaguar to a very nice couple near Portland, OR. They owned the car since 2015 and placed about 4,000 miles on the car. This is a very special Jaguar E-type Coupe. There are not a lot of Jaguar E-types that drive as well as this one does. It shifts perfect and handles exceptional. This is a car for someone who is going to drive it and enjoy the car! The interior was redone and looks better than new. In addition, the paint, while not brand new was redone as well and looks beautiful on the car. Furthermore, the engine was rebuilt at 54,576 miles, but was also taken apart and refreshed in 2012 at 83,750 miles as detailed below. The car has 88,116 original miles, so to put this in perspective on a 54 year old car, it has averaged 1,631 miles per year with most of the miles placed on this car early in its life. There were only about 18,000 miles placed on this great Jaguar since 1979. The carburetors have also been rebuilt. . Some of the work completed more recently between 2/2012 – 8/2024 mostly by our shop (not including the previous work done to this car such as engine rebuild, new interior, paint, etc.):

Overall, mechanically this car is excellent. The compression is 150 to 160 psi on every cylinder and the oil pressure is also excellent. Also, it is in great shape cosmetically with an excellent body and structurally sound. The floors are solid and there is no rust on this car anywhere. It really needs nothing to be enjoyed. If you are looking for a fun Jaguar E-type to frequently drive and enjoy, this would be the perfect car for you.

Built as a direct competitor to the International Scout, the original Ford Bronco was initially offered in three cab types: a wagon, a pickup (discontinued after 1972), and an open model with cut-out filler panels instead of doors, to come off something as a big CJ-5. The four-wheel-drive Bronco earned a loyal following from new. Interest increased in the central plains states and the American west, while they also disappeared rapidly from the northern states, being a good platform for a small snowplow and the perfect get-around vehicle in the winter.
Engine choices were limited to a 170-cid inline six-cylinder and a 289-cid V-8 during the model’s first year of production, and a 302-cid appeared in 1969. Otherwise, minimal changes to functionality or cosmetics were made during the truck’s 12-year run.
Though popular, the Bronco didn’t have wide-spread utility or mass appeal and production figures weren’t as high as survivorship might lead one to believe. Although the open Broncos are the rarest, they aren’t collectors’ top choice since they are fair weather friends. Instead, the wagons are the most prized.
We are excited to offer this stunning and fully restored 1972 Ford Bronco. The fully restored 1972 Ford Bronco presented here was built on February 24 of 1972. It has the 3-speed transmission on the column and has four-wheel drive. This Bronco Wagon was previously restored and with the correct 302 V8 engine. It was finished in Red with a Wimbledon White Removable Hardtop with matching fenders flares with white interior. There had been several driving upgrades installed which make this Bronco a wonderful and reliable driver. The paint is excellent and the interior is exceptional as well. This Ford Bronco has no rust and is solid throughout. There were numerous driving upgrades previously installed during the restoration, including but not limited to a better cooling system with an overflow tank, a Holley Performance Carburetor, a Performance exhaust with an incredible sound, and larger polished wheels and with MT 305/70/R16 Buckshot Maxxis Mudder Tires. Furthermore, we had a new starter installed, restored the fender flares, installed Borgeson power steering, a 15” Wooden Steering Wheel with Chrome slots, new axle seals and a differential seal. In addition, we coated the exhaust manifolds, polished the entire truck, degreased, installed seat belts and cleaned the engine bay. This wonderful Bronco is ready for adventures or to enjoy around town.
This 911S displays the steady improvement that Porsche imparted on its highest-performance sports car in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The wheelbase of the 911 had been extended by some 2.5 inches in 1969, providing better balance and handling and with its engine output now increased to 180 horsepower, thanks to larger valves and better breathing, a larger 225 mm clutch was required. Interior fittings were upgraded as well, with a new steering wheel lock and its instruments now mounted in rubber rings. Externally, new door handles of a safer design replaced the earlier pushbutton type and the cars were delivered with full factory undercoating for the first time.
Stopping power was provided by 11.1-inch ventilated front and 11.4-inch ventilated rear disc brakes, which proved more than enough for a 2,400-pound car. It was also capable of accelerating to 60 mph from a standstill in just over seven seconds and 100 mph in just 20 seconds, as well as reaching a top speed of 144 mph. Few cars of its day were capable of matching its exhilarating performance.
The 911 S offered here is a 1971 model, which means that it is equipped with the aluminum rear deck lid that is unique to this year’s model. It is now and recently finished ( late 2022) in its original and rare color of Bahia Red/13 with black upholstery, and its desirably optioned with Sport seats and a period-correct Becker Europa II radio.
The car was formerly part of a well-known private East Coast collection and another private collection before changing hands to its current collector in 2019 who performed a mechanical and cosmetic restoration to the car to make this car complete. It is a matching numbers car in excellent overall condition and with the original 5-speed with low original miles of 74,193 miles. More details on this special Porsche 911 S:
Included is the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity for this Porsche 911 S identification number 911130087 confirming this is a 1971 Porsche 911 S with its original engine number 6310082 and in the original color of Bahia Red/13.
This comes with all service records over the past 10 plus years, an owner’s manual, a tool kit and a first aid kit.
Close to $60,000 had been invested since 2021 in mechanical, paint and bright work. All work is documented.
A well known Porsche restoration shop rebuilt the engine and went through the entire car at 73,911 miles at a cost of $18,235.
Forge Speed completed a full paint, body and bright work restoration finished at the end of 2022 at a cost of $41,152.
About $35,000 had previously been invested prior to 2019 going back to 2013 with all work completed by Porsche specialists. This is all documented as well.
This is an exceptional driving Porsche. It is certainly one of the nicest early 911 cars offered on the market today with its original color and is backed up with an extensive portfolio of recent work (totaling $95,000 since 2013) to make this Porsche 911 S ready to be enjoyed by the next owner.
