Offered for sale is this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL, factory black over a full gray leather interior with just 83K miles on the clock.

A California car from new and originally sold in San Diego, this Mercedes was owned by a well-known Jaguar and Ferrari restoration specialist nearby. Paint shows some signs of age but interior is truly "like new" in every way. Starts, runs, and drives superbly!

Find it in the Showroom for $13,900 or close offer:

Arguably, the Mercedes-Benz W126 is the last Mercedes-Benz sedan worth owning. Developed in the late 1970s and a child of the '80s, this star cruiser is still an analog car that exudes Old World charme and can be restored indefinitely, should the need ever arise.

Most of you may have noticed that our Web site has slowed down over the past year. Bill retired in 2020 and now I, Bernard, am ready to to retire as well and enter the final chapter of my life.

We are not buying new cars anymore, just finishing the cars we already have in stock and selling them once finished. It has been over 25 years, a quarter century, and it was an exciting one. Thank you all for being part of it and making our journey into the world of classic cars so enjoyable.

Please look out for those "last" cars to come up for sale. I'll be listing our now finished 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL here on Facebook tomorrow.

$10K doesn't buy you much anymore in terms of a classic car or truck you can hop in and enjoy right away.

All the more you might appreciate this 1973 Ford Ranchero GT, a beautifully documented, rust and accident free California desert truck that still carries its original blue California license plates.

Offered in our Showroom for just $9,900:

First introduced in 1957 and spanning 7 generations, the Ford Ranchero had been a steady competitior to GM's Chevrolet El Camino for 22 years.

Offered for sale is this 2-owner Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance. If you've never driven one of these giants, you'd be amazed on how silent and smooth they glide along. Power comes from a 500 cubic inch -- 8.2-Liter -- Cadillac V8 that is utterly under-stressed, runs on regular gasoline, and will outlive you and your children.

Find it in the Showroom for $13,500:

It's hard to pin-point the zenith of the BIG Cadillac Sedan. Was it 1959 when it had the biggest fins, 1975 when it had the biggest body and the biggest engine, or 1992 when the last and most refined Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham was manufactured?

Offered for sale is this exceptionally clean and fully sorted 1972 Datsun 240Z in Monte Carlo Silver Metallic over a factory red interior. We would not hesitate to jump in and drive it to Las Vegas and back!
Find it in the Showroom for only $29,900:

The Datsun 240Z has taken the place the early Porsche 911 held, twenty years ago. Today, it's very high on the list of desirable collector cars that can be enjoyed on a daily basis, if so desired.

That's what I need: brakes that won't slow me down!
