Vehicle Description
SAMCO (Sports Automobile Manufacturing Company) was established in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Bill Lear of Learjet fame, in the late 1960's.
His plan was to offer two distinct Cord models, the Royale and the
Warrior. His intent was not to offer these in high volume or to
sell these cars in kit form. Each car was hand-built ah his
factory. Approximately 400 SAMCO Cords were produced and found
their way to our roads.
The 1969 SAMCO Cord Warrior offered here is attractively finished
in Yucatan Yellow over a tan interior. The car is powered by its
Ford 302 Cobra V8, automatic transmission and rear wheel drive. It
features power steering, power windows, air conditioning, factory
wood steering wheel, wood dash fascia, VDO gauges, wire wheel
covers, leatherette interior, bucket seats, rear bench seat, and
the signature exterior "faux" exhaust pipes to replicate the Cord
812.
Mechanically, the healthy 302 V8 provides plenty of power as it
pulls very strong, the automatic transmission shifts smoothly and
the car brakes straight. The mileage of this cord is unknown, the
digital display odometer shows 54 miles. That said, the car remains
original from the factory and overall in great condition. The
original Yucatan Yellow paint remains glossy, not free from
defects, but overall excellent. The original interior is clean and
shows very little wear.
To this day, the Cord Supercharged 812, I one of the most
beautifully designed car of all time, and the most advanced car of
its day. The SAMCO continuation cars of this model capture the
lines and overall design of the iconic 812. The car here has been
part of a private collection for many years and is ready for
immediate enjoyment.
