Vehicle Description
Created by industrial designer, Brook Stevens, who was responsible
for innovations spanning some 60 years! With his automobile passion
and career with Studebaker, he designed his own vehicle along with
his two sons in the early 1960's, and later established Excalibur
Automobile Corp located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These beautifully
crafted cars are completely factory built, never sold or produced
in "kit" form. Their bodies where made of hand-laid fiberglass that
was twice the thickness of a Corvette making them extra strong,
with aluminum hood panels. Using only new components, modern drive
train & chassis, and styling borrowed from the rare Mercedes SSK,
these cars were an instant success!
We are delighted to offer this gorgeous 1975 Excalibur Phaeton
Series III finished in a Signal Red & Ruby Red two-tone combination
with Black Leather interior! These Series III examples are designed
on top of sporty Corvette chassis providing 4-wheel independent
suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes. Power comes from the Chevrolet
454ci High-Output V8 engine, Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic
transmission, and 2.73 Posi-Traction rear end! The option and
feature list are quite long for this impressive car. They include
Frigiking air conditioning, power steering, power 4-wheel disc
brakes, Nardi wood steering wheel, heater & defrost, full
instrumentation, reclining front seats, tilt steering column, rear
mounted trunk, dual side-mounted spares, running boards, chrome 15"
Cragar wire spoke wheels (6) wrapped in Goodyear Super Cushion 4"
wide whitewall tires, original Blaupunkt AM/FM/Cassette radio,
glass wind wings, Lucas fog lamps, functional air horns, and
stainless steel side-exit dual exhaust!
Our Excalibur has had the same owner since 2002, being parked in a
climate-controlled collection amongst other outstanding Excaliburs
from each generation! Just prior to his purchase, it received a
custom machine-turned aluminum dash fitted with new Classic
Instruments gauges along with aircraft inspired toggle switches for
operation of accessories. For this reason, we will be selling this
vehicle mileage exempt. A very nice vintage touch to a worthy
neo-classic vehicle. It is remarkably well kept and shows only
minor indications of being driven! Complete with the original
auxiliary hard top, factory-fitted side curtains, and a formal
cabin tonneau cover! All interior features and gauges are working,
including the air conditioning! This is 1 of just 82 Excalibur
Phaetons produced in 1975, and as of 2007 became eligible for AACA
2nd generation classification! Please feel free to call with
additional questions or to schedule a time to view this marvelous
vehicle in person!
