On top of this big block engine sits an Edelbrock intake manifold and a matching 4 barrel carburetor.]]> http://www.sunsetclassics.com/1969-plymouth-gtx/ Sat, 08 Mar 2008 06:55:53 GMT sc21 Having the same owner since 1978 should be proof enough that this car was loved and appreciated. But the signs of appreciation don't end there. This Jaguar has been garaged every day since purchased in 1978. Each year from '78-1995, thousands of dollars were spent yearly on cosmetic upkeep and other “presents” for the car. Put all these things together and you'll understand the love the owner has for this fine Jaguar.]]> http://www.sunsetclassics.com/1970-jaguar-etype/ Sat, 08 Mar 2008 06:48:17 GMT sc23 This is a very original Series II E-type roadster; it is a second owner vehicle; the current owner purchased it in 1972 when it was only two years old, thus he has owned it for 35 years.

This classic Mercedes has never been restored or repainted. It comes with its original 2 tops - the matching original paint hard top and the stock convertible soft top.

The owner wanted to make a car that was responsive and really handled, so to make this dream a reality he spent over $12,000 to make the exact MGB that he wanted. He now has other cars that need his attention so this gives you the opportunity to land a tuned MG..]]> http://www.sunsetclassics.com/1974-MGB/ Sat, 08 Mar 2008 06:44:05 GMT sc28 Up for sale is a beautiful 1977 Pop Top VW Camper Bus. As the owner of VintageVWCars.com I've sold quite a few VW Buses, but I've never been able to offer anything nearly this nice--until now!

I'm talking AMUSEMENT PARK FAST! The Throttle is like a Smile Dial. You should have seen my ear to ear grin when I got back from my test drive. If you had a dream as a kid to someday own a real Hot Wheels car, this is your chance.]]> http://www.sunsetclassics.com/1977-corvette-502/ Sat, 08 Mar 2008 06:40:36 GMT sc31 This is a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12.

This is a 3rd owner car with only 19,513 miles on the odometer! The previous owner stated the mileage was actual, and carfax shows the car was never in a major accident and has never been salvaged.]]> http://www.sunsetclassics.com/1981-delorean/ Sat, 08 Mar 2008 06:41:36 GMT sc33 This is an auction for a beautiful 1963 Ford Falcon/Futura convertible.

This extremely original example of the desirable 1962 Starfire features an original, unrestored interior (except for the brand new headliner), extremely low miles (only 69,333!), and from what we can tell much of the Provincial White paint may even be original.]]> http://www.sunsetclassics.com/1962-oldsmobile-starfire/ Fri, 29 Feb 2008 06:58:33 GMT sc10 This is a 1975 Pontiac Grand LeMans.
