Lot 8219 – 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Guerney
Friday, June 20 2014 2:53-3:13 pm
moto+match estimate: $35,000
This is an extremely hard to find 1967 Cougar Dan Gurney Special. Only 15,166 of these were built and here is your chance to one at No Reserve. This car has all the right options. The engine is the 289-4V engine and has the beautiful Lime Frost paint (color code I) and also comes with the black standard bucket seats in perfect condition. The transmission is the C-4 Select shift Merc-O-Matic which shifts perfectly. The previous owner has owned it for about 15 years, and it looks to have had an older restoration, we think 10+ years ago. However, the car is in extremely good condition. This is the Dan Gurney Special which was available for this year. This includes the engine dress-up kit and the Dan Gurney sticker on the rear passenger window. The car comes with the Marti Report that shows the car’s VIN number and trim numbers decoded so you know exactly what you are getting. This is a great find and it will look great in any collection.

This Flint, Michigan-built ’57 Nomad wagon was acquired by the consignor from a gentleman in Idaho during 2005 and retained the original drivetrain. It was given a frame-off restoration to original specifications, including the color scheme, as photo-documented. During the process, the vehicle was dipped and stripped down to the bare metal, all of which was restored with over 680 hours in body and paint alone with no filler used. All of the stainless-steel trim is original, with all dents removed and polished to a chrome-like finish, and the glass is all new. The 283 ‘Power Pack’ small-block V-8 breathes through dual exhaust. This Nomad has been honored with many awards. Covered and stored in a garage, it is only brought out for shows. Since completion of the restoration in 2008, the car has just over 600 miles of use.

Saturday, June 21 2014 6:02-6:22 pm
moto+match estimate: $45,000
The Monterey Historics and other high-profile events.

The Lotus was eventually acquired by Don Denhard, who raced the car at many vintage-racing events, and then sold it circa 2003 to the consignor, who had the car restored from the frame up. The restoration included frame straightening and the rebuilding of the brakes, hydraulics, and steering, plus installation of all new rod ends, front A-arms, and rear radius rods. Steve Jennings overhauled a new Richardson 1,097 cc Ford-Cosworth engine, which is topped by a rebuilt air intake and cold-air box for the twin Weber carburetors matching the unit on the Lotus 22 depicted in William Taylor’s The Lotus Book. A new fuel cell resides inside the original fuel tank. Other new items include the Varley battery, Koni steel shocks, exhaust system, correct vintage-size Dunlop tires, and many other important detail items. Converted in period to Type 22 specification with “layover” engine configuration and all proper detail items, this Lotus 20/22 is an excellent “no excuses” example, offered complete with its FIA Historical Technical Passport issued May 26, 2009 and racing logbook, plus correspondence. A potent and historic single-seat racing car, this Lotus 20/22 marks the most successful “pre-monocoque” racing-car design of the early 1960s.

moto+match estimate: $120,000

In addition to the behemoth big-block 454 LS6 with the highest 450-horsepower rating features include an M-22 “Rock Crusher” 4-speed manual transmission. Cowl Induction, functional hood lock pins, plus hood and deck stripes were part of the LS6 package as well. To complete the beefy drive-train, a 12-bolt rear axle, Chevy’s strongest, is equipped with a 3.73:1 ratio. Optional power front disc brakes, power steering, and tilt wheel were other factory options. Inside, black vinyl Strato-Bucket front seats flank the floor console. The dash is fully equipped with factory tach and gauges, along with a factory-installed AM/FM radio. This SS454 is also one of very few equipped with the rare rear-window defogger option. A full body-off restoration was completed less than 400 miles ago, and this legendary musclecar car awaits the opportunity to give a hard run to match the 0-60 mph in 6 seconds and 13-second quarter mile times written in the magazine tests. With only 4,475 LS6-equipped SS454s ever produced, this highly desirable example, with matching numbers authenticated by an independent source (a copy of the report will be available for review on-site), is equally ready for “go” and “show.”

moto+match estimate: $200,000
Finished in Polo Red and factory-equipped with a sunroof, this short-wheelbase, first-generation 1968 Porsche 911 S features the highly desirable 2.0-liter, Weber-carbureted flat-six engine, five-speed manual transaxle, and 1968-specific features including 5.5-inch wide Fuchs wheels and elephant-grained upholstery. This particular example was sold new in Hanover, Germany and moved later in its life to sunny Southern California, where it has remained ever since. A complete “nut-and-bolt” restoration was completed to Pebble Beach standards by a very reputable early-911 specialist in 2012-2013 with only 1,500 miles driven by its owner since the restoration was completed, meaning the car is just broken in! Of course, this highly optioned 911 S retains its matching numbers engine and gearbox, as confirmed by both the accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and Porsche factory build sheet/Kardex. The concours-quality restoration has been fully documented and the file accompanying the car also contains a CD-ROM with hundreds of pictures of the restoration process. The original owner’s manual also accompanies the sale of this outstanding and historic 911 S. Incredibly rare in the USA today and featuring many 1968-only features, this factory sunroof-equipped, short-wheelbase 911 S simply “ticks all the boxes” for an astute early 911 purchase in the top factory-available specification of the era. As such, it will surely take pride of place in the finest collections of the world’s most important sporting machines ever conceived.
