Background: One of the most revered designs to come from the 1930s
showrooms would be the 1935 Auburn 851 Speedster. It was quickly
adapted and replicated by the 1970s using modern fiberglass molding
practices. Using updated engines, chassis, braking components,
automatic transmissions, it quickly became a leisurely car to own
and drive! Although not exactly cheap, California Custom Coach,
based in Pasadena, CA, produced a complete, factory built turn-key
Model 876 example in the late 1970s for a hefty $37,500 for a
Speedster and $42,500 for their unique 4-passenger Phaeton!
Primarily consisting of a Ford drivetrain, suspension, and
stretched chassis providing a 127 wheelbase, they provided faithful
service to their proud owners driving them down the road! 1936

kits for owners in 1976 but elected to make all examples factory
turn-key in 1979 to protect quality control and ensure safely
finished units. They became known as one of the best replica
manufactures in the nation, also adding other vehicles to the
lineup over the years, including a Ferrari Daytona Spider. Today,
they continue to be respected as a confident choice for driver
enthusiasts worldwide. This example was believed to have sold new
in California and documentation provided indicates it was with its
last California owner from January 1994 through November 2012. It
then made its way to a collection in Iowa where is was used only
sparingly. Today, the new odometer reads only 3,372 miles! It
continues to run and operate so wonderfully with a full dual
exhaust system providing a robust exhaust note, new engine air
filter, brand new ignition system to include plugs, wires, cap,
rotor, and points, new master brake cylinder & booster, new brake
fluid, new engine fluids, thermostatically-controlled electric
cooling fan, and original Ford 4-barrel carburetion. It is titled
as a 1982 production vehicle. We encourage potential buyers to act
quickly! This is a stellar CCC example ready to enjoy immediately!
