For Sale: 1979 Auburn Speedster in Lutz, Florida

With its Art Deco-inspired lines and lengthy wheelbase, this 1979 Auburn Speedster Glen Pray 866 Replica conjures up images of Great Gatsby-era opulence. It's an ultra-faithful recreation of what is considered by many to be one of the most striking automotive models ever built. Whereas many examples of its segment combine a striking outward appearance with merely sufficient mechanical components, this Speedster does nothing of the sort. Instead, it pairs its outstanding light gray metallic exterior with a comfortable interior and a modern drivetrain that's well-suited for frequent motoring. Its collection of chrome - including its bumpers, bezels, and trim pieces - is in nice condition, and its body panel alignment is impressive.

The accompanying interior is equally impressive and, despite a convertible's penchant for UV exposure. The leather-clad bench seat shows only the slightest of wear, and the door panels it's bracketed by are in matching condition. Should you find yourself out on the road as the weather becomes more unforgiving, the tan canvas convertible top fits snugly and features a nice, clear window. Inside the cleanly painted dash area, you'll find an assembly of aftermarket gauges recessed into the instrument cluster to keep tabs on your motoring functions, and there's a Kenwood AM/FM/DVD stereo with both Bluetooth and satellite connectivity on hand to provide a wide range of audio options.

There were no corners cut when assembling the mechanical components that power this eye-catching drop top, starting with the fuel-injected 5.0-liter Coyote engine lurking under the hood in a clean compartment. This modern powerplant has garnered a well-deserved reputation for reliability and pairs with a push-button-operated 6-speed automatic transmission geared to take full advantage of its output. With its exhaust manifold leading out to a pair of MagnaFlow mufflers, a tap on the gas pedal yields a deep, mellow sound that's not too obtrusive. Power steering makes for easy navigation, while power brakes that position discs up front provide all the fade-resistant stopping ability you're looking for.
