    It is exceedingly difficult to find such an original, unrestored example of Dodge’s winged Daytona. One of 139 equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, this all-matching-numbers 440/375 HP California car shows a believed actual 62,000 miles and is so fresh that it still bears visible factory assembly line markings and retains the paper tag on the Dana rear axle housing. It has been authenticated by Mopar expert Galen Govier and is documented with the factory fender tag and build sheet, an unique offering that is sure to attract serious collectors.

    This 1969 Shelby GT350 has an interesting history as a dealer-modified Riverside 500 track promotional vehicle. Serial number 1339, it has been rotisserie restored to its original configuration, with Boss 302 competition front springs and rear sway bar, Koni shocks and Shelby aluminum intake, export brace and rear suspension lowering blocks. Equipped with a matching numbers 351/290 HP engine and wide-ratio 4-speed, the car is documented with a Deluxe Marti Report confirming it as one of 129 with its engine and transmission codes and 1 of 132 with the same paint and trim codes.

    With 151 documented miles on the odometer, an ownership history dating back to the MSO and an NCRS Top Flight Award in 2002, this 1970 Corvette LT1 coupe is quite literally probably the most original in the world today, and in its Monza Red factory paint, certainly one of the most beautiful as well. Optioned with a Black Custom interior package that includes leather seats, wood-grain accents and cut-pile carpeting, it features Chevrolet’s mighty solid lifter LT1 350/370 HP small block, M21 4-speed, transistorized ignition and 4.11 heavy-duty positraction differential.
