Available only in Canada, the Mercury pickups were good looking but rare. This Mercury M100 combines the classic lines of the original with the practical usefulness of a more modern truck. By carefully crafting the 1960 truck body onto a 1991 Dodge Ram 350 Powerwagon chassis and drivetrain, this custom-built show winner was the result. The Cummins diesel powered four wheel drive allows this truck to easily haul a fifth-wheel trailer.

1936 Ford Cabriolet

Sold at $ 62,150

Transmission: Manual 3 Speed

Exterior Color:

Interior Color:

This wonderful example has been treated to a new Haartz cloth top and the car is equipped with Ford fog lights, clock in mirror and wide whitewall tires.

One of the few changes that Ford made to its popular passenger car line for 1936 was the addition of a Cabriolet model with a non-folding framed windshield and roll-up side windows. List price was $625 and the rumble seat option could be had for a whopping $20 at a time when the average household income was $1,713 and gas was 10 cents a gallon. The wonderful example offered here comes from an Alberta collector and the car is nicely equipped with options and accessories including dual mirrors, rear-view mirror with built-in clock, Ford fog lights, Ford stainless exhaust tip, dual exterior mirrors, wide whitewall tires, recently installed canvas top, rear-mounted spare and the aforementioned $20 rumble seat. The 221 cubic inch flat-head V8 starts effortlessly and idles smooth as silk. This cabriolet performs extremely well and runs smooth at highway speeds making for enjoyable cruising in town or out on the open highway. Refinished in the original colour of Desert Sand, it has been the recipient of a body-off restoration including the underside body floor pans which have also been sprayed body colour at time of restoration. With so many of these cars having been modified, original examples are becoming few and far between. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a great example of one of the few remaining 30’s convertibles.

1970 Plymouth AAR ‘Cuda Coupe

Sold at $ 125,000

Transmission: Manual 4 Speed

This AAR has had a full on rotisserie restoration. In addition to the AAR equipment, it has manual trans, 3.91 Sure Grip rear, power steering, power brakes with front discs, In Violet paint, Rallye gauges, AM radio, Rallye wheels (with correct Goodyear Polyglas tires) and visually inspected by Galen Govier. This AAR may well be the finest one available anywhere and with their limited production, it is a rare opportunity to own one!

A one year only, limited production car, the ‘Cuda AAR was designed specifically to homologate Plymouth’s completely redesigned new ‘Cuda for competition in the red hot SCCA Trans Am road racing series. Special equipment unique to the AAR was a fiberglass hood with ram air scoop, radio antenna moved to the rear quarter panel and decklid mounted ducktail spoiler. It also had fast ratio steering and special suspension with the rear springs arched an extra inch and staggered rubber sizes to give the car an aggressive rake. It featured special exhaust with chrome tips exiting ahead of the rear wheels. The biggest change was to be found underhood where Plymouth installed a special TA engine based on their standard 340. The basic 340 was given a beefier block which could be fitted with four bolt main caps. Likewise, the special TA heads had added material so racers could port them for higher output. Atop all of this was a tri-power Six Barrel carb setup to make sure the high revving 340 could breathe. This particular AAR was sold new at Mel Wolff Chrysler Plymouth, Inc. in Chicago, Illinois. It has benefitted from a full on rotisserie restoration and this award winner looks as though it were just picked up new from the dealer today.
A well optioned car, in addition to the standard AAR equipment, this one has the pistol grip shifted 4-speed manual transmission, 3.91 Sure Grip differential, power steering, power brakes with front discs, FC7 In Violet high impact paint, white buckets, Rallye instrument cluster, Music Master AM radio, Rallye wheels (with correct Goodyear Polyglas tires). This fabulous ‘Cuda has been visually inspected and decoded by Galen Govier and is in his Chrysler Registry.
This spectacular AAR may well be the finest one available anywhere and with their limited production, it is a rare opportunity to own one!

The car underwent a no-expense-spared nut & bolt body-off restoration with much attention paid to detail and authenticity. Refinished in the original colour of Maize Yellow, the restoration included a complete detailing of the engine bay and undercarriage. The car is powered by a 239 cubic inch flathead V8 producing 100 horsepower coupled to a 3-speed manual transmission, and is equipped with a black canvas convertible top, radio, dual mirrors, wide whitewall tires, front and rear wingtips and beauty rings. A rare opportunity to acquire a splendid example of a rare Mercury.

1967 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible

Auctioned at The Toronto Spring Classic Car Auction 2018

Sold at $ 90,200

Transmission: Manual 4 Speed

Exterior Color:

Interior Color:

Factory equipped with four speed manual transmission and treated to a no-expense-spared frame-off restoration by the renowned Thornton Brothers of Telford Pa. Glass-like laser-straight paint and gleaming chrome. Interior, engine bay and undercarriage have also been professionally and correctly detailed, right down to the T3 headlamps. 400 V8, with correct C-Type heads and open-element air cleaner (correct for 4-speed equipped 442’s.)

Knowledgeable car collectors look for several characteristics when considering the purchase of that special automobile for their collection and these include, among other things, colours, options, rarity, and above all else, quality . . . and this spectacular example ranks high in all of these departments. The current discriminating Alberta owner, who imported this 442 from Arizona, immediately recognized the outstanding qualities of this rare muscle car at time of purchase, but now, at 77 years young, has decided that his collection should be reduced, and reluctantly, has decided that it must go. The Olds was treated to a no-expense-spared frame-off restoration by the renowned Thornton Brothers of Telford Pa., and in addition to the obvious glass-like laser-straight paint finish and beautiful gleaming brightwork, the interior, engine bay and undercarriage have also been professionally and correctly detailed, right down to the T3 headlamps. The 400 cubic inch V8, with correct C-Type heads and open-element air cleaner (correct for 4-speed equipped 442’s), is coupled to an M-21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. 442’s came equipped with heavy duty springs, boxed rear control arms with rear sway bar, dual exhaust with chrome tips, unique grille and headlight doors, various 442 insignias . . . and this 442 retains all of them. Having won First Place at the Oldsmobile meet in Scottsdale Arizona and First Place at the Muscle Car Shootout at World of Wheels in Calgary 2018, this example is without question . . . .
ONE OF THE WORLD’S BEST!!
