Vehicle Description
You're looking at an iconic classic with a modern twist. This 1936
Auburn Boattail Speedster replica has cool modern pain, modern
trim, and the right modern features. But everyone knows the classic
iconic silhouette, so you get all the best upgrades without ever
losing the vintage feeling.
While this car obviously did not come from the 1930s, it also is
suspected to be a much younger build than the replicas you see made
in the '70s and '80s. That's why this one has eye-catching modern
features like the Viper Red paint and gold, hydro-dipped carbon
fiber trim for a unique and stylish finish. It also has upgrades
like sport mirrors, much of the trim has been shaved, and there's a
coordinating gold bumper and grille. The exterior exhaust tubes
even get some custom flair. Not only does this presentation look
good, but also we believe that the 5,407 miles on this represent
just how few miles have been traveled since it was built. But even
with fresher feeling, this car never strays from why we love this
icon. The wide pontoon fenders, the steeply raked windshield, and
of course, the iconic pointed "boattail" that made the entire rear
end an exercise in opulence. Bringing the ideas of classic and
modern perfectly together are the large 22-inch Dayton wire wheels
with ultra-low profile tires.
The tan folding roof looks great against the bold red paint, and it
looks even better when you take it down, because there is a full
tan interior waiting for you. Just like the exterior, the interior
feels like the right mix of old and newer worlds. Suicide doors and
a traditional bench seat are balanced with an AM/FM/CD stereo and
power windows (the glass comes with the sale.) But what will really
grab your attention it the full chrome steering wheel that's equal
parts elegance and sporty.
If you're a driver, the best reason for owning a replica car like
this is under the hood. It's a 351 cubic-inch Ford V8. More than
just look bright in the engine bay, these Windsor motors are known
for being powerful and reliable. Plus, components and maintenance
for the V8 and its three-speed automatic transmission are easy to
find and well within budget. It's this kind of affordable ownership
that has led to this car being so well cared for over the years.
The motor fires up nicely, and it's easy to feel the '30s driving
experience as wind whips past the low windshield. Great features
like power steering, front disc brakes, and a far more modern
suspension than Auburn offered further this ability to enjoy a
classic built for driving.
This is the solution for drivers who get nervous taking out
high-dollar classics, or the dreamer who can't afford a Boattail
from the original run. So don't let this opportunity slip away.
