There were Italian exotics, such as Ducatis, but for the average Joe they were far out of reach, and no matter who you were ‘sometimes they were just far to exotic to keep running or repair. Without question, “the” sporting bikes of choice for years […]

1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000

In 1988 I purchased a 1971 Alfa GTV 1750 (Euro spec) to replace my MGB/GT that was, well, not great. The Alfa was a revelation. Not only was it lightyears faster it also sounded a lot more exotic, and handled and stopped like a supercar- at least compared to my tired old MG. I loved […]

1970 Shelby GT500 Convertible

Sold new at the famous Northwestern Ford, which was located a stone’s throw from where I’ve lived my entire life, this Grabber Yellow beauty is one of just nine cars finished in this eye-popping hue.

1970 Honda Z50A Mini Trail

Totally unrestored and completely original Z50A Monkey Bike. How? As the story goes (from the guy whose basement we pulled it out of) he bought it for his kids brand new. They used it for a couple of weeks and then got caught doing “Something stupid with it.” It went into his basement around the […]

This factory 4-speed, Acapulco Blue KR convertible is well known in the Shelby world. A great, low-mileage one- owner original car that was restored in the early-1990s when owned by noted collector Jacky Jones. #4037 then went on to be a two-time MCA Thoroughbred Gold award winner as well as being judged Premier status at […]

1968 Shelby GT500 KR Convertible #4123

I’m not a suntan guy but I figured I had to have at least one drop-top Shelby Mustang in the collection- and why not make it a KR? After all, 1968 was the first year for production Shelby Mustang convertibles and the KR was the baddest one you could get…so there you have it. But […]
