Vehicle Description
Reimel Motor Cars is proud to present an unrestored 1965 Excalibur
SSK Supercharged Roadster with only 23,000 miles. This classic car
is coated in its original white paint and has a black vinyl
interior.
This Excalibur SSK series one-car is the ultimate Excalibur to own.
It is the "no door" SSK and is powered by a Chevy 327 V8 engine
with a Paxton supercharger, producing 400 HP. This power is
transmitted through a Borg Warner four-speed manual transmission.
Only 97 Excalibur's were built without doors, and it is believed
that only between five and seven cars were factory
supercharged.
This car was originally purchased by Fred Mc Cauley, a pilot from
Denver, CO. Mr. Mc Cauley shared stories of outrunning Shelby
Cobras in his day, and after driving this car, we believe it. The
car is extremely fast, with a 400hp engine and a weight of only
about 2,000 pounds, making for an exhilarating ride. Mr. Mc Cauley
also provided us with period photos of the Excalibur and a custom
wood steering wheel that was fitted to the car when new. It came
equipped with several optional features, including a center driving
light, wind wings, air horns, heater, tonneau, tinted visors,
radio, and a luggage rack. The luggage rack is included with the
car, but not pictured. All of this is backed up by Mr. McCauley and
the factory order sheet, with the original list price being about
$8,600.
The car is in impeccable condition. The original paint is still
intact, and the interior and carpets are excellent. It's evident
that the car was kept in a garage since it was new. We have
recently given the car a thorough servicing, which included the
replacement of brake drums and brake shoes, new brake lines, and a
flush system. We also replaced the clutch master cylinder, upgraded
the ignition system to MSD (hidden box), replaced spark plugs,
replaced the carburetor with the proper one and tuned it, replaced
the 5 inner exhaust pipes and insulation installed new valve cover
gaskets, changed the oil, and replaced the wipers. We also replaced
the contact and wiring for the lights, among other things. The
total cost of the services performed was over $17k.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase an original
factory-supercharged Excalibur, with great documented history and
that has been completely sorted.
