Few automobiles command attention and admiration like the Auburn Boattail Speedster, and this 1936 Auburn 852 Speedster replica is unquestionably one of the most beautiful examples we have ever offered. Produced by the highly respected Speedster Motorcars operation, this top-of-the-line factory build has been driven just 6,800 miles since completion and remains in exceptional condition throughout. With its striking presence, modern reliability, and a wealth of premium equipment-power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, and a fuel-injected Vortec V8-this car represents a rare opportunity to own a stunning Art-Deco-era icon without the limitations of pre-war engineering. Act quickly-high-quality Auburn Speedsters like this rarely stay on the market long.

The Auburn Boattail Speedster is widely considered one of the most breathtaking automotive designs ever produced. Born from the height of Art-Deco styling and credited to legendary designer Gordon Buehrig, original 851/852 Speedsters were produced in extremely limited numbers before Auburn ceased operations. Their rarity and beauty quickly elevated them to the pinnacle of classic car collecting, inspiring dedicated manufacturers to create high-quality replicas for enthusiasts. Among the most respected of these builders was Antique Autos of America-later Speedster Motorcars-an esteemed Florida-based facility known for crafting the finest Auburn and Cord recreations under the guiding hand of Project Manager Michael Atkins.

Speedster Motorcars completed this particularly striking example in 2004, finishing it in an elegant combination of Candyapple Red Metallic and Pearl White, paired with a Dark Red and White interior and a matching Red canvas convertible top. Beneath the sweeping bodylines lies a brand-new Vortec 5.3L fuel-injected V8 mated to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a 9-inch rear end, delivering smooth, dependable power. The chassis features adjustable coil-over independent front suspension with tubular control arms, stainless brake lines, and power 4-wheel disc brakes for confident modern driving.

This Speedster is extensively equipped with premium factory features, including staggered 15" wire wheels with wide whitewall radials, air conditioning, power steering, power windows, power seat, billet pedals and vents, polished tilt steering column, machine-turned dash, Stewart-Warner gauges, a Lokar shifter, cowl lights with integrated side mirrors, fog lights, simulated exhaust ducting, hood ornament, Ziebart clear paint-protection film, and dual exhaust with turndown tips. Safety features include turn signals and an emergency handbrake. A matching canvas tonneau cover accompanies the convertible top for added protection and show presentation.

Driven just 6,800 miles, this 1936 Auburn Boattail Speedster replica remains in beautiful cosmetic and mechanical condition, with all interior and exterior touch points showing only minimal signs of gentle use. It is titled as a 1936 Auburn Boattail Speedster, ensuring smooth registration with the DMV. Whether enjoyed on long open-road adventures or displayed proudly at shows, this Speedster offers the perfect blend of classic glamour and modern drivability. It is guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes and represents a strong, enjoyable, and highly reliable classic-car investment.
