Recent unpack at our Facility here in Gore. Some nice bikes, 3 tidy Yamahas all off to the new owner for his collection. Harley and BMW were bought and ridden in the States before being shipped back here. Fairlane ex Canada for a local who has moved back home and the Nova is off to be a good solid start for a project

Something a little different for the Lincoln fans

1954 Lincoln Capri convertible. Definitely a project but not something you see every day

Description below from a good friend of ours in the State's.

It's been sitting since 2013. The motor turns over, not locked up. The owner says it ran when parked. The motor oil and trans fluid look nice. A very rare car. Only 1,951 made. Who knows how many are left. The car is loaded with factory options: Power steering, power brakes, power seat, power windows, power top. The floors and trunk are free of rust. The driver side fender at the bottom has a small rust hole. Both outer door corners have a little bit of rust. An all original car, needs restoration. New tires. Clean CA title.

$8,500USD plus shipping
