History of the Excalibur Car:
The original Excalibur was the brainchild of Studebaker's Brooks
Stevens, who took inspiration from the famous Mercedes-Benz SSK and
decided to make a more modern interpretation. Originally designed
in 1964 over a Studebaker chassis with their 289ci V8, Studebaker's
demise forced the project in a different direction and connections
ultimately landed the car with Corvette power. Taking into account
the Excaliburs 2100 pounds and optional 350 horsepower V8 mated to
a 4-speed manual, the car was sensationally quick with the ability
to get up to 60 mph in just over five seconds and with a top speed
of 160mph! Prices started at $7500, which all but eliminated the
average man from buying a new one. Their style and performance have
endured as one of the most stylish performance cars of the 1960s,
so today offers a very unique opportunity for collectors to own a
uniquely special antique automobile!

This is likely to be one of the most beautiful Excalibur SSK Series
I roadsters available ever! Purchased new by Waco, TX resident, Mr.
Robert Crow, of R.M Crow Company through Van Winkle Motor Company
of Dallas, TX, this documented one-owner example survived parked in
a Texas garage all its life! After Mr. Crow's passing, the car
stayed in the family, parked in storage with only 7,600 miles,
until the St. Louis Car Museum purchased the vehicle. Still
possessing its original tires, leather interior, factory lacquer
paint, and all original componentry, it was the perfect balance of
originality upon arrival to our facility! Although, because of its
time of non-use, our expert maintenance team felt the necessity of
a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration was required to bring it
back to the level it deserved. Starting with a methodical game
plan, the body was separated from the chassis to best prepare it
for a professional repaint. The paint would be hand stripped to its
bare foundation over the course of several weeks before it would be
resealed, primed, sanded repeatedly to an ultra-smooth texture, and
then painted in a multilayer base coat/clear coat fashion to
stunning, show-worthy results! Once mated to an equally refinished
chassis, the interior was fully refurbished from the factory
original red vinyl to a much more deserving red leather
interior.
Powered with its factory original L79 327ci/350hp V8 Turbo-Jet
engine and Muncie 4-speed manual transmission offering an
exhilarating ride! Our highly experienced maintenance staff took
the liberty of fully disassembling the engine just enough to reseal
it properly beginning with a new intake gasket and professionally
rebuilding the Holley carburetor, new valve cover gaskets, exhaust
manifold gaskets, new water pump and gasket with a new thermostat,
re-cored factory radiator, and all new hoses & belts. The entire
ignition system was swapped for new including fresh coil, plugs,
and wires, cap and rotor, etc. All fluids were renewed along with
fresh filters. The original gas tank would be sent out for
cleaning, etching, and sealing before being reinstalled with a new
sending unit, lines, fuel pump, and filter. The transmission would
be removed to install a brand new clutch, pressure plate, throw-out
bearing, along with resurfacing the flywheel. To complete our
restoration, the entire braking system was renewed with rebuilt
front calipers, new pads and rotors, hoses, new rear brake
cylinders, master cylinder & booster. We also installed new front
and rear shocks, new battery and cables, leather-wrapped the rear
leaf springs, and brand new radial redline tires. The time and
expense were all well worth it once admiring the finished results!
