Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1 sells for $88,000

Touted for its versatility with ad copy that read, "Drag it! Race it! Swing with it!," the Sunbeam Tiger followed the formula – made familiar by the Allard and Cobra – of stuffing a Ford V-8 engine between the front fenders of a lightweight, open-top British sports car. Once perceived as the "poor man's Cobra," Sunbeam Tiger prices have risen in recent years, and further evidence of this trend was delivered this past weekend when a restored 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1 sold for $88,000 (including buyer's fees).
1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1.
The Sunbeam Tiger was born of the necessity to create a more powerful variant of the Sunbeam Alpine roadster. To avoid the costs and delays associated with developing its own V-8 engine, Sunbeam (and parent Rootes Group) went shopping for an off-the-rack engine that would suit its purposes, and found it in the form of Ford's 260-cu.in. V-8, the same engine that powered Shelby's original Cobra. Looking to make the car's development as painless as possible, Ian Garrad, Rootes Group's West Coast sales manager, contracted with Carroll Shelby to supervise the build of the Sunbeam Tiger prototype. When Garrad learned that Shelby would take 90 days to deliver the (fully tested) prototype, the Rootes Group sales manager reached out to another California racer, Ken Miles, who promptly delivered a proof-of-concept car to get the project started.

Lord Rootes was reportedly so pleased with Garrad's efforts (and Shelby's polished prototype) that he immediately approved production, following up with a purchase order for 4,000 260-cu.in. V-8s (at the time, the largest engine order Ford had ever received from another firm). Production would be contracted out to Jensen Motors, and in the summer of 1964, the first Sunbeam Tigers began arriving in the U.S. and Canada. Late 1966 saw the introduction of the Sunbeam Tiger Mk II, which featured Ford's higher-output 289-cu.in. V-8, but by then the end of production was already in sight. Thanks to a takeover of the Rootes Group by Chrysler in 1964, it was only a matter of time before Ford-engined Tiger production was halted, and in June of 1967, the last Tiger rolled off the assembly line.

The 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I that crossed the stage in Auburn previously called the John Scotti Collection home, and was offered at no reserve. Those bidding may have been swayed by the car's condition, which was described by Auctions America as "fully restored" and "like new in nearly every way." Purists would argue that the car's Panasport wheels are similar to, but not the same as, the car's original Minilites, and that BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires were not available when this example was first constructed. Those intimately familiar with the model could surely find other flaws as well, but that negates the real lesson of this no-reserve auction; when the car crossed the stage, bidders determined the value of a well-restored (but not historically accurate) Sunbeam Tiger Mk I to be $88,000.
The auction's top seller, a 1934 Chrysler Custom Imperial Airflow, went for $213,400.
Cars in the Auctions America Auburn top 10 included a 1934 Chrysler Custom Imperial Airflow, which sold for $213,400; a 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS 409 factory lightweight, the Zintsmaster 409, which sold for $151,250; a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, which sold for $148,500; a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster, which sold for $145,750; a 1939 Packard Twelve Touring Cabriolet by Brunn, which sold for $137,500; a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with the 427-cu.in., 435-horsepower V-8, which sold for $137,500; a 1960 Chrysler 300F convertible, which sold for $132,000; a 1957 Chrysler 300C convertible, which sold for $115,500; a 1953 Buick Skylark convertible, which sold for $112,500; and a 1969 Shelby G.T. 500 Fastback, which sold for $110,000.
This 1975 Chrysler Cordoba sold for $5,225.
With more than 900 lots crossing the auction block, those looking for bargains were not disappointed. Among the most surprising deals were a 1965 Ford Thunderbird hardtop, sold for $3,575; a 1977 Cadillac Eldorado coupe, which sold for $3,520; a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker sedan, which sold for $4,400; a 1973 Mack CF600 fire engine, which sold for $4,675; a 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite, which sold for $4,950; a 1978 Lincoln Continental, which sold for $4,850; a 1975 Chrysler Cordoba, which sold for $5,225; a single-owner 1985 Mazda RX-7 , which sold for $5,720; a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door custom sedan race car, which sold for $6,710; and a 1947 Crosley Roundside pickup, which sold for $6,600.

1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe sells for $460,000 in Monaco

Chrysler's Ghia-built show cars of the early 1950 demonstrated the potential of a marriage between Italian coachbuilding (influenced by Virgil Exner's designs) and American engineering. Chrysler only had six Ghia Special Coupes constructed, but Ghia followed up with another dozen Special Coupes of their own. Last weekend, a 1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe, one of the 18 cars originally built, crossed the stage in Monaco, where it sold for a price of 336,000 euros ($462,353) including buyer's fees.
The Ghia-bodied Chryslers were never intended to be merely show cars, as both companies contemplated the potential of putting the exclusive coachbuilt coupes into limited production. Ghia Specials were never offered through American Chrysler dealers, but buyers in Europe could drive away in one of the stylish two-doors, sold through Société France Motors, Chrysler's European sales agent. The similarly-styled Ghia GS-1 even saw a production run of 400 units, once again available only to buyers on that side of the Atlantic.

The Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe that crossed the block in Monaco last Saturday, chassis number 7231533, came powered by its original 331-cu.in. Chrysler Fire Power Hemi V-8.
mated to a PowerFlite two-speed automatic Fluid Drive transmission. According to RM's auction description, chassis 7231533 was sold new by Société France Motors to Leon Coulibeuf, a postwar industrialist with a passion for sports cars and a racing resume that included participation in the 1953 Tour de France Automobile and the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans. It's not entirely clear if Coulibeuf purchased the Ghia coupe for his own use or for his wife's enjoyment, but its first time in the spotlight (at the 1953 Concours d'Elegance d'Enghien-les-Bains) listed his wife as the car's entrant.

Restored by a previous long-term owner in 1990, the Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe has, until now, spent its entire existence in France, and it's reportedly been shown just once post-restoration, at the 2001 Louis Vuitton Concours at Bagatelle. Its sale on Saturday represented the first time the car has been offered to the public since new, and its selling price of €336,000 ($462,353) reflected its clean-but-not-quite-concours-ready condition. A comparable 1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe, in unrestored form, sold at RM's 2010 Monaco Auction for a price of €246,400, then the equivalent of $309,832.

As one would expect from an auction in Monaco, Ferraris were well represented, occupying six of the sale's top 10 spots. The high dollar car was a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C, one of just 12 produced and said to be among the most original examples remaining, which sold for €5,712,000 ($7.86 million). Other lots rounding out the top 10 included a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I, which sold for €4,704,000 ($6.47 million); a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS, which sold for €2,128,000 ($2.93 million); a 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S Spider sports prototype racer, which sold for €2,072,000 ($2.85 million); a 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Daytona sports prototype racer, which sold for €1,260,000 ($1.73 million); a 1958 Lister-Jaguar "Knobbly" Prototype, which sold for €1,176,000 ($1.6 million, or considerably less than the $1,980,000 the car sold for last August in Monterey); a 1966 Brabham-Repco BT20 Formula One racer, which sold for €1,092,000 ($1.5 million); a 1997 Ferrari F50, which sold for €907,200 ($1.25 million); a 2003 Ferrari Enzo, which sold for €868,000 ($1.19 million); a 1956 Porsche 356 A Carrera 1500 GS Speedster, which sold for €840,000 ($1.16 million); and a 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400S, which also sold for €840,000.

Barn finds sell for six figures at U.K. restoration-themed auction
Barn-find 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe. Photos courtesy Silverstone Auctions.
Patina is apparently as alluring on the other side of the Atlantic as it is here, as demonstrated by a recent U.K. auction that saw a "barn find" 1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage, a "barn find" 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe, and a disassembled 1962 Facel Vega atop the sale's list of high-dollar cars, with the latter two selling for more than $100,000. In addition to a healthy layer of dust, the auction's three top sellers had another thing in common: Each selling price far exceeded the pre-auction estimate, thanks in part to heavy participation from foreign bidders via telephone.
1962 Facel Vega restoration project.
The late-production Facel Vega, described as mostly complete but missing the wraparound windshield glass, carried a high pre-auction estimate of £34,000 ($56,845), yet it sold for £64,400 ($107,670, with all prices including fees), nearly doubling the estimate despite the car's unfinished state. For the U.S. market, Hagerty estimates the value of a "Fair" condition HK500 at $82,000, and this example will require quite a bit of labor to even achieve this level, assuming the bulk of the parts provided with the car are in salvageable condition.
The "barn find" 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe sold for £62,100 ($103,825), besting its high pre-auction estimate by £17,100 ($28,589). Though also described as "mostly complete," the auction catalog is clear that the entire car will need to be gone through and refurbished, an expensive proposition for a vehicle that Hagerty values at $79,300 in fair condition.
The premium paid for the "barn find" 1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage was perhaps the most impressive, as its selling price of £51,175 ($85,559) more than doubled the high pre-auction estimate of £25,000 ($41,798), thanks to a bidding war that erupted as the car crossed the stage. Though Hagerty does not show a value for this particular Aston Martin, a 1969 DBS carries a fair condition value of $48,800.
Fully restored E30 BMW M3.
Other cars in Silverstone Auctions' The Restoration Show Sale top 10 included a "barn find" 1969 Aston Martin DBS V8 Series I, which sold for £49,450 ($82,675); a well-preserved 1964 Mercedes Benz 230 SL "Pagoda Roof," which sold for £46,920 ($78,446); a recently refurbished 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III, which sold for £44,275 ($74,023); a 1985 Lamborghini Jalpa, fresh from long-term storage, which sold for £40,825 ($68,255); a fully restored 1986 BMW E30 M3, which sold for £34,500 ($57,681); a restored 1966 Porsche 912, which sold for £34,500 ($57,681); and a 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series I, in storage since 1979, which sold for £33,925 ($56,719).
Restoration-project 1969 Jensen Interceptor Mk 2.
As one would expect from an auction with "Restoration" in its title, there were bargains to be had by entry-level collectors as well. All required varying degrees of repair and reconditioning, but a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 sedan sold for £575 ($961); a 1977 Range Rover sold for £805 ($1,346); a 1953 Austin A30 sold for £920 ($1,538); a 1973 MG Midget Mark III sold for £1,265 ($2,115); and a 1969 Jensen Interceptor Mk 2 sold for £1,510 ($2,525).

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati
Had the timing been different, the Chrysler TC by Maserati may have been a hit for both brands, as it offered Italian style and sensibility with American car convenience. Instead, production delays caused the visually similar Chrysler LeBaron to hit the market first, and when the Chrysler TC did hit dealers, many consumers couldn't understand why its price tag was twice that of the LeBaron. In the decades since its launch, the Italian-American convertible has developed a loyal following, which means that the next owner of this 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati for sale on Hemmings.com will have plenty of resources at his or her disposal. The current owner describes this car as low-mileage, with some of the interior leather replaced with Maserati-sourced hides for an exact match. From the seller's description:
made in Malan, Italy. 4 cy. turbocharged engine, Power everything. Hardtop and original black canvas type soft top. New leather seat (leather bought from Maserati for exact color match. A low milage original car in excellent condition. Call or email for full information. You'd be hard pressed to find another as fine as this car. Only 7301 made between 1989-91.

Sale of alleged prototype Iso Grifo halted amid questions of its authenticity
The Iso Grifo in question. Photos courtesy Coys.
At first, it appeared that the 1966 Iso Grifo Lusso that Coys offered at last weekend's Techno Classica auction in Essen, Germany, sold for a respectable $332,000, but after Iso enthusiasts cried foul over the car's chassis number, the sale was canceled and questions now linger over the car's true provenance.
Described by Coys as an original-condition car with its original Chevrolet small-block V-8 engine and four-speed manual transmission, Coys didn't belabor its provenance, noting only that it came from "an important Italian collection of historic vehicles, where it has resided for many years," that it only came available after the death of the owner of the collection, and that it came with German historic registration documents. Designed by Giugiaro with a chassis by Bizzarrini, the Grifo debuted in 1963, powered by the Corvette 327, and over the next decade or so, Iso went on to build more than 400 Grifos, including the dark blue over tan leather interior example that Coys listed.
What caught the eye of a number of Iso experts and enthusiasts before the auction, however, was the chassis number listed for the Grifo, B740001, displayed on a number plate riveted to the passenger-side upright in the engine bay, which was also stamped with the number. However, according to Mike Gulett, the director of marketing and media for the Iso and Bizzarrini Owners Club, and the experts he has quoted at My Car Quest, chassis numbers are typically stamped on metal plates welded to the upright. And what's more, the chassis number belongs to an early Iso S4 – the four-door sedan later known as the Iso Fidia – according to those experts. Further investigation into the stamping numbers on the engine in the Grifo revealed that it was a 350 built in 1974 for non-Corvette applications.
As Gulett related the story, Iso club members approached Coys with the discrepancies, but in response, Coys officials claimed that they had not only confirmed with the club that the chassis number was authentic, but that it was the chassis number for the Iso Grifo prototype. Except, as it turns out, the actual 1963 Iso Grifo prototype – chassis number 420001, which has appeared at Pebble Beach twice and features a number of variations from the production Grifos – currently resides in Don Williams's Blackhawk Collection in Danville, California.
"If (Coys) is calling theirs a '66, then it's obviously not the prototype," Williams said. "Everybody makes mistakes – it could be a misunderstanding – but don't try to defend a car that's undefendable."
No mention was made in the Coys auction description of the Grifo being the 1963 prototype. Nor has Coys yet released the complete results from the auction.
Gulett reported that the Grifo sold this past Saturday for €220,000 (about $332,000), right in the middle of its €200,000 to €250,000 pre-auction estimate, and then, citing a single anonymous source, that the Grifo was then seized by German authorities. Ben Willis, a salesman at Coys, confirmed that the Grifo's sale was not completed, attributing it to "a description error." In a followup to Gulett, Chris Routledge, another salesman at Coys, said that the car's transaction did not take place and that the matter is being handled in Germany.
"The case of historic motorcars due to the nature of their age where some confusion arises about their history is unfortunately commonplace throughout the world and in this particular instance upon the acknowledgement of claims being made of an alternative car with the same chassis number the matter was handled in an entirely appropriate manner and the sale has not proceeded," Routledge wrote to Gulett. "This situation, although unfortunate, is simply no more complicated than that."
The situation, for what it's worth, comes less than a month after another Iso Grifo – chassis number 250223, claimed to be the last Iso Grifo built – sold for $440,000, a world record for an Iso Grifo at public auction, at the recent RM sale at Amelia Island.
In the meantime, Iso enthusiasts are left wondering what lies behind the Grifo's incorrect chassis number and incorrect engine. Some have speculated that its actual chassis number was appropriated for use in another Grifo, while another theory posits that it could be one of two cars stolen in Italy. No theory has yet been proposed for how it ended up with the chassis number of the first S4, however.
UPDATE (6.May 2014): Gulett reports that German authorities have released the Grifo. Meanwhile, it has appeared for sale on a German classic car dealer's website, described as all original, with an asking price of €248,000 (about $345,000).
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 Ghia L6.4
From the looks of it, this 1962 Ghia L6.4 for sale on Hemmings.com hasn't been touched for probably as long as the current long-term (45-year) owners have had it, and maybe even since it had the European headlight conversion and sunroof installed back when it was essentially a new car. From the seller's description:
Engine 383 cid 335 bhp, TorqueFlite transmission. Chrysler drivetrain, number 308, mid production unit numbers starting 301 through 326. Auto originally purchased in Beverly Hills, CA by Auto Accessory dealer. (Family owned) first time on market in 45 years. Headlight conversion and sunroof conversion performed in North Hollywood at Barris Kustoms shop in early 1960s. One of the first American sunroofs ever installed in Barris shop by American Sunroof Co. Featured in several magazines, show winner.

What a difference a year makes: Re-restored Shelby Cobra to cross the block
Shelby Cobra CSX2023. Photos courtesy Auctions America.
When CSX2023, one of the first couple dozen Shelby Cobras, sold at auction for half a million dollars last year, many Cobra purists noted the slew of modifications it sported and wondered whether they hurt or helped the car's value. Their questions may soon be answered when the same Cobra, now re-restored back to its approximate original configuration, crosses the auction block next month.
As it sold at last year's Auctions America event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, CSX2023 was painted red, had side exhausts, and rolled on fat tires wrapped around American Racing magnesium knock-off wheels under wide fender flares. Its original 260-cu.in. V-8 had been long ago swapped out for a 289, and despite (or maybe because of) all the modifications, it hammered at $485,000 and sold for a total of $533,500, including 10 percent commission.
Auctions America had little of the car's early history in its description of CSX2023, noting only that it originally sold out of Downtown Ford in Los Angeles in November 1962, and that a prior owner had restored the Cobra in the early 1980s. The World Registry of Cobras and GT40s doesn't have much more than that, noting that the prior owner, Ruben Garnica, bought it in 1971 missing its windshield, hood, and trunk lid, causing him to commission its restoration.
In the year since CSX2023 sold, its current owner has been busy with it, cutting off the wide flares, reverting it to a full dual exhaust system, and installing skinnier knockoff wire wheels and whitewall tires. Though the World Registry notes that the Cobra was originally painted white with a red interior, CSX2023 now has a fresh coat of Silver Moss paint with black leather interior. According to the auction description, a 289 still powers the Cobra.
Was it worth putting all that work into CSX2023? Auctions America seems to believe so, with a pre-auction estimate of $750,000 to $850,000.
The Cobra will cross the block at this year's Auctions America Fort Lauderdale sale, which is scheduled for March 14-16. For more information, visit AuctionsAmerica.com.
UPDATE (20.March): The re-restored Cobra sold for a price of $825,000, including the 10-percent buyer's fee.
Facel Vega, covered with dust and patina, sells for $209,509 in Paris
1962 Facel Vega Facel II. Photos courtesy Bonhams Auctions.
While most Facel Vega models were exported out of France, demand for these hand-crafted sports luxury cars remains high in their country of origin. At the recent Bonhams Paris sale, a 1962 Facel II fresh from long-term storage in the United States and in need of a thorough restoration sold for 155,250 euros ($209,509) including buyer's premiums, easily besting the pre-auction estimate of 80,000 to 140,000 euros ($108,000 to $189,000).
The Facel II, introduced in 1961 for the 1962 model year, used the same wheelbase and 2+2 seating configuration as its predecessor, the HK500, but sported a grille that was a bit less rectangular, framed by vertical Marchal headlamps in oval housings. The windshield, while still curved at the top and on the sides, was less pronounced than on the HK500, and the roof utilized minimal C-pillars, improving outward visibility for the driver. At the rear, small marker lights perched atop the fenders, while large round taillamps were positioned just above the bumper, lower than the upper-fender mounted taillamps of the HK500. The changes, though subtle, gave the Facel II a more contemporary appearance than its predecessor, but the car's $12,160 price tag (the same as the HK500, but twice as much as a Lincoln Continental and on par with an Aston Martin DB4GT) limited the car's prospective pool of buyers. In 1961, Facel Vega produced a total of 66 HK500 and Facel II models combined, and in 1962, the highest production year, 91 Facel II models were built.
The Facel II's Chrysler V-8 was rated at 350 horsepower when mated to the TorqueFlite automatic transmission.
Power for Facel II models came from a 383-cu.in. Chrysler V-8, rated at 355 horsepower with the TorqueFlite automatic or 390 horsepower with the Pont-a-Mousson four-speed. That was sufficient to deliver a top speed of 150 miles per hour and a 0-60 MPH time of 8.3 seconds on manual transmission models, making the Facel II the sportiest of offerings from Forges et Ateliers de Construction d'Eure et de Loire S.A. To effectively scrub off speed, four-wheel disc brakes were standard equipment; buyers of automatic transmission models also received power steering, while buyers of four-speed manual transmission cars (who, presumably, favored precise handling over light steering effort) had to pay extra for this luxury.
This particular 1962 Facel II, chassis number HK2A154, was sold new by Hoffman Motor Company in New York City. It's unclear when the car first sold or who its original owner was, but in 1971 the Peacock Blue with gray leather coupe found a home with its second owner, who last registered it in Minnesota in 1973. Though the car remained in his possession, it was then stored for four decades, and as evidenced by the accumulated dirt, rust and rot, the conditions of the car's forced hibernation were sub-optimal for preservation. The paint and interior are both believed to be original, as is the drivetrain.
The auction's top sale was this 1968 Ferrari 275 GTB4.
The top 10 sellers at the Bonhams Paris auction included a 1968 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Berlinetta, which set a new auction record for the model by selling for €2,530,000 ($3,414,235); a 1929 Bugatti Type 35B Grand Prix two-seater, which sold for €1,610,000 ($2,172,695); a 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT (Series IV) coupe, which sold for €1,184,500 ($1,598,482); a 1947 Delage D6 Three-Liter Competition Grand Prix, which sold for €1,092,500 ($1,474,328); a 1965 Aston Martin DB5, which sold for €776,250 ($1,047,549); a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster, which sold for €713,000 ($962,193); a 1939 Lagonda V12 Drophead Coupe, which sold for €506,000 ($682,847); a 1984 Ferrari 126 C4 M2 Formula 1, as campaigned by Michele Alboreto, which sold for €483,000 ($651,808); a 1966 Citroen DS21 Le Caddy Cabriolet, which sold for €310,500 ($419,019); and a 1989 Porsche 911 "Narrow Body" Speedster, which also sold for €310,500 ($419,019), more than doubling its pre-auction estimate.
This 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner sold for $16,295.
Buyers looking for less exotic (and hence, less expensive) purchases could choose from a 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner convertible, which sold for €12,075 ($16,295); a 1988 Mazda 323 Familia 4WD Rally car, complete with a documented competition history, which sold for €10,925 ($14,743); a 1971 Citroen ID19 D Special sedan, which sold for €6,325 ($8,535); a 1976 Saab 96L sedan, which sold for €5,175 ($6,983); a 1971 Rover 3500 sedan, which sold for €5,175 ($6,983); and a 1938 Austin Seven Ruby Deluxe sedan, which sold for €3,450 ($4,655).

Shelby American opens Shelby Heritage Center in Las Vegas

To fans of Carroll Shelby and his high-performance creations, Las Vegas, Nevada, is a destination that offers far more excitement than just cards, dice, chips and slot machines. While the desert tourist Mecca has long been home to Shelby American and the Carroll Shelby Museum, both entities have recently moved to a new expanded home in the Shelby Heritage Center, located adjacent to Interstate 15 and just a few blocks from Las Vegas Boulevard.
As Shelby American's Rich Sparkman explains, the new location's Heritage Center name seemed more fitting with the May 2012 passing of company founder Carroll Shelby. In addition to providing more space (10,000 square feet as opposed to 6,000 square feet in the previous location), the new address at 6405 Ensworth Street is roughly a $10 cab ride from the strip, whereas the former Carroll Shelby Museum and Shelby American headquarters, near Las Vegas Motor Speedway, was a $65 cab ride from downtown. To further increase the number of visitors, the Shelby Heritage Center will begin running free shuttle buses, bringing visitors to and from locations on Las Vegas Boulevard.
The Heritage Center offers free guided tours from Monday through Saturday, and visitors can see an ever-changing array of Shelby's creations on display. In addition to the very first Shelby Cobra, CSX2000, the museum will feature cars like the Shelby Series I prototype, a Dodge Shelby Dakota pickup, a Shelby GT-H, a Shelby G.T. 350 and a Terlingua Mustang, and there's room for roughly 10 more vehicle displays than the Carroll Shelby Museum offered. The space will serve as the showroom for Shelby American, too.
The Shelby Heritage Center opened for business on January 2, but as Sparkman explained, graphics and displays are still being finalized. The grand opening of the facility is scheduled for April, and it will tie in with the Mustang's 5oth birthday celebration at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, scheduled for April 16-20. For more information on the Shelby Heritage Center and upcoming events, visit ShelbyAmerican.com.

When the Petersen Museum holds a Shelby-themed cruise-in, there's no telling what will turn up in the parking lot of the Los Angeles institution. While there was no shortage of rare and desirable Shelby models at last weekend's event, it was an unrestored 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C, owned by Anthony Boosalis, that caught our eye.
Boosalis has owned the mostly original car for the past two and a half years, and the weathered gold Cobra is a radical departure from the carefully preserved and immaculately detailed norm. As the World Registry of Cobras and GT40s, Fourth Edition explains, CSX3047 was billed to Shelby American in February of 1965 and finished as one of about 30 S/C (for Semi-Competition) models. The initial order for the car came from Larsen Ford of White Plains, New York, in May of 1966 (and it was Larsen that requested the car in Hertz Gold, for promotional advertising purposes), and in August of that year, the dealership was invoiced $7,395 upon delivery.
In September 1966, the car was sold to its first owner in Hudson, New York. A month later, the car was returned to the dealership for some rather extensive warranty work, including the replacement of a broken pushrod, a damaged lifter and the rebuilding of the heads; in other words, the car's first owner drove the car as Carroll Shelby intended (and, likely, somewhat beyond).
The car's third owner lived in Ontario, Canada, and when he offered the Cobra for sale in December 1970, it was described as one of just 25 "street/competition" models, with a blueprinted Le Mans engine (under warranty) and no history of competition use or damage. It quickly passed through the hands of another owner (Carter Gette) before being acquired by Dick Reventlow (Lance Reventlow's half-brother), who owned the car for five months before selling it back to Gette for the same price.
Under Gette's second ownership, the car was painted Guardsman Blue over the original Hertz Gold. Perhaps because of his proximity to Lime Rock Park, Gette also offered the car for rental to approved clients. In addition to the $200 per weekend fee (a sizable amount in 1973), Gette also required a $10,000 deposit, in order to cover any potential damage to the car during spirited driving. One person with the means to rent the car at Lime Rock was P.L. Newman, better known as the actor Paul Newman.
From the 1970s through the 1990s, the Cobra passed through many hands, though it was a regular sight at Shelby American Automobile Club events on the East Coast, where it routinely picked up top three (and occasionally best in class) honors. By 2001, however, the car was beginning to show its age, with flecks of gold paint showing in chips of its once pristine blue paint. Another clue to the car's original hue was found on the back of the tachometer: next to the S/C designator was a note reading "gold."
In 2005, a restoration to the car's as-delivered state was considered, but never executed. Instead, then owner Don Silawsky opted to have the car cleaned, freshened and "de-painted," revealing most of the original Hertz Gold livery underneath the blue. Perhaps the best news was the condition of the body, which remained damage-free across five decades of ownership. The Cobra retains its original soft top, tonneau cover, side curtains, seat belts, period-correct (if not original) magnesium knock-off wheels, and, according to serial number data, engine.
Boosalis, the car's current owner, is no stranger to 427 Cobras. He's owned competition Cobra chassis CSX3016, a car that saw action at tracks like Nassau, Sebring, Bridgehampton and Watkins Glen, where in 1966 it set a lap record for a production car. Boosalis still owns competition Cobra CSX3026, which saw action at Brands Hatch before being returned to the United States; though this car was once modified for historic racing, Boosalis has returned the car to an as-delivered state. As for his latest Cobra, CSX3047, Boosalis has no plans to restore or modify the car in any way. As he explains it, the golden Cobra may be the most original 427 S/C remaining, so any restoration or modification will take away from the car instead of adding to it.
Popular opinion is with him as well. Perhaps because of the car's imperfections, it's won awards in its current state at SAAC gatherings, and just last weekend collected a People's Choice award at the Petersen cruise-in. Sometimes the beauty of a car goes far beyond gleaming paint and polished wheels.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
06 Jan 2013 06:38 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Ethiopia, Norway
The presidents of Sudan and South Sudan have agreed to abide by timelines to be drawn up to implement a raft of security, oil and border deals stalled for over three months, mediators said.
With the two neighbours increasingly cash-strapped after a spat led Juba to shut down its oil output a year ago, the announcement on Saturday offered fresh hope of a breakthrough in long-running talks to end the crisis.
The leaders also agreed to set up a long-delayed demilitarised zone along their disputed border as soon as possible, a condition for the resumption of oil exports.
African Union mediator Thabo Mbeki said at the end of a summit meeting in the Ethiopian capital that Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and his South Sudanese counterpart Salva Kiir had recommitted to the key deals and agreed to enact them "unconditionally".
"Our panel is preparing a matrix for the implementation of all of the existing agreements with timeframes," said Mbeki, a former South African president, adding that the AU would complete the timelines by January 13.
The deals, which were signed in September but were never implemented, include the restarting of Southern oil exports through northern pipelines, as well as the reopening of border points for general trade.
They also included the withdrawal of troops back from contested border regions to create a demilitarised buffer zone hoped to ease tensions between the two armies, who came close to all-out war in March and April 2012.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, who hosted and helped mediate the talks, said he was "very much satisfied" with the progress of the meeting.
"I am very happy that the bottlenecks are now released and the implementation can resume," he told reporters.
Border tensions
On Friday, South Sudan's chief mediator Pagan Amum accused Sudan of dropping bombs across the border four times this week.
"It is very, definitely, negative. These [air raids] are having a negative impact on the summit and discussion," Amum told reporters in Addis Ababa.
Juba has accused Khartoum of a series of attacks - regularly dismissed by Sudan.
The US, Britain and Norway issued a joint statement ahead of the talks calling for a settlement, urging the armies of both nations to "immediately withdraw" from their frontier.
Also on the agenda was the contested Abyei region, a long-time flashpoint on the volatile border, which has proved to be one of the most contentious sticking points between the two nations.
Sudanese troops withdrew from the territory in May after a year-long occupation that forced over 100,000 people to flee towards South Sudan.
The Lebanon-sized area - where a referendum to decide its future due in January 2011 never took place - is now controlled by United Nations peacekeepers from Ethiopia.
South Sudan separated from Sudan in July 2011 under a peace agreement that ended a 1983-2005 civil war, but key issues remain unresolved.
Khartoum also accuses South Sudan of supporting rebels operating in Sudan, which has been a major obstacle to implementing the agreements.
The South, in turn, says Sudan backs insurgents on its territory, a tactic it used to deadly effect during the two decades of civil war.

Quebec is the largest province in Canada and the only one with French as its official language. It takes its name from an Algonquin word meaning "narrows" where the St. Lawrence River cuts deeply through rock cliffs.Quebec has strong nationalistic feelings about its identity within Canada and has almost seceded twice (in fact, Quebec has held two referendums in order to seperate but it was not THAT successful.. though in 1996 it was really close...). It recently (as of 2006) acquired symbolic status as a Quebecois nation within Canada.Quebec was founded in 1763 when France signed Canada over to Britain; the ceremonial head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, and the country's government functions as a parliamentary democracy.That being said, we are free to talk about poutine.Poutine is an amazing gastronomic assault weapon invented by a truck driver in 1957. If the Abominable Snowman could be a food, it would be poutine. Poutine is the heavy artillery of the food domain.Like the foundation to the house, the hull to the ship, like a Red Cross blood drive to Count Dracula, is poutine to Canadians.Now let me stop here to tell you: this is not the only amazing food combination that a truck driver has come up with. In Pittsburgh there's a place called Primanti's that serves sandwiches with both french fries AND coleslaw piled on top. They're too big to pick up even with both hands. Legend has it that a trucker with no time to spare ordered a plate of food, mashed it all between two pieces of bread and took it on the road.Well, poutine has a similarly glorious beginning except it's about sixteen million times better (and that's saying a lot).A hungry truck driver came into Fernand LaChance's restaurant one day and ordered LaChance's special potatos and cheese curds combination. Then he asked for a side order of gravy and POURED IT RIGHT INTO THE BAG ON TOP OF THE FRIES!!!The earth shook, stars fell from the sky and a few deep sea creatures stirred in the muck as he plunked down at a table, ripped the bag apart and ate the whole thing.Thus poutine was born and it is here to stay, probably in your arteries somewhere next to the bacon. Empires may crumble and fall, mountains may wear down to dust, glaciers may creep across the face of the deserts but a Canadian's love for poutine will echo onward through the madness of space, for all time.The End.Text by Steve Smith.

Much Needed Escape
I was looking for a nice getaway for a long weekend for my girlfriend and myself. Specifically, I wanted someplace nice and warm and secluded with just the right amount of uniqueness to make for an unforgettable trip. This place delivered. Before arrival, Lars was very attentive to what I was looking for and making sure that I had everything I needed for the stay. He made sure I knew he was easily accessible if I needed him. But mainly, we tried to manage ourselves, and had a great time doing so. We chose one of the coldest weekends to go up, but the place was very comfortable when we got a fire going in the woodstove (plus the heat was always there as a fail-safe). It felt great to be holed up from the outside cold and snow. My girlfriend loved the look of the place and was a big fan of the claw-foot bathtub; I preferred the couch. The place was nice and quiet, and we enjoyed sitting by the fire and watching a few movies. The week-end and the barn were exactly what we were looking for.
Great stay
Pat and Gabe were wonderful hosts. They have a beautiful, spacious place. It's spotless throughout. The light coming through stained glass makes the living room serene. The private pool is perfect for warm days, and the hot tub is just the spot to wind down at night. The kitchen is enormous. We had a great time cooking all the local food we found. I would definitely recommend this place.

Hatteras Lighthouse foundation stones threatened
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — When the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was moved 15 years ago, the massive stones that held up the famous beacon were left behind at the erosion-prone spot on the Atlantic.
A nonprofit group paid to have the stones engraved with the names of the 83 light keepers, and the stones were then placed in a circle that became a popular spot for weddings and other events. But as erosion continues to threaten the area and sand from storms such as Isabel and Sandy covers the stones, Hatteras Island residents now want the stones moved to the lighthouse.
"Eventually, if they are not moved, they will probably be washed to sea," said Bruce Roberts, co-founder of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society, the nonprofit that paid $11,500 to have the 20 or so stones engraved.
"I think in some ways that circle of stones became almost a sacred place," he said of the spot that's become known as the Circle of Stone. "People got married there. It's one of the most special places on the Outer Banks."
The smallest stone weighs about 3,000 pounds, said his wife, Cheryl Shelton Roberts, the society's other co-founder who worked meticulously to make sure each keeper's name was spelled correctly, along with his first year of service. The names include the keepers of this lighthouse and the original one, built in 1803, which no longer exists.
Moving them is no easy job and probably expensive, especially since the Cape Hatteras National Seashore budget is $2 million less than it was in 2010. Instead, the National Park Service says the stones will be uncovered one more time in the spring, making sure they still form a circle, and then will be mostly left to nature's forces.
The stones "will periodically be covered and uncovered" by these processes and may not always be entirely visible, wrote Barclay Trimble, superintendent of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, in an email to Dawn Taylor, president of the Hatteras Island Genealogical and Preservation Society.
Taylor provided the email to The Associated Press and posted it on a Facebook page for lighthouse keeper descendants.
Trimble maintains that Lighthouse Society members agreed with that decision. But Bett Padgett, president of the lighthouse society, insists they are opposed to the plans.
"In order to preserve them, they must be moved," Padgett said.
In a letter dated June 14, 2013, she wrote to Trimble that the current society members and the society founders "unanimously disapprove of allowing the stones to be covered by sand and sea, just as they did not want that to happen to the light itself."
Cleaning the stones involves far more than a broom and a shovel. They're so covered with sand that Trimble, who became the seashore superintendent in October 2012, has never seen them. The stones would have to be placed in slings and lifted by heavy equipment such as a front-end loader, then placed on top of the sand.
Taylor said she doesn't know of anyone who believes the stones should stay where they are.

Uh, why is China shown as gray instead of light orange in the image used in this article's main infobox?[edit]
Isn't the People's Republic of China a communist nation? Since it obviously is, then why is it shown in gray instead of light orange on the map that happens to be in the extreme top of the main Infobox?
Sorry, but apparently the File talk page guidelines don't allow for me to put this there, which is why I took this discussion to this talk page. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 01:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Hmmm... The Image page at File:United States Soviet Union Locator.png doesn't seem to describe what the image is intended to illustrate, and its talk page is blank. Some of the comments in the file history speak of the Soviet sphere of influence, though I can't guess from info there what date or date range the image intends to illustrate. The image caption in this article says that the image shows Cold War spheres of influence of the U.S. (light green) and Soviet Union (light orange). China is not mentioned. The image is also used in the Soviet Union–United States relations article, and it appears to be used there to depict the U.S. and Soviet spheres of influence at the end of the Cold War. Some further relevant info might be found in the Sphere of influence#Cold War and Sino-Soviet split articles. It appears to me that this is badly in need of clarification on the image page.

The illustration shows spheres of influence during the final phase of the cold war. By this time, China was clearly no longer aligned with the U.S.S.R. I'm not even sure at all that China "clearly is" a communist country anyway, being more of a state-capitalist sort of system, but that's another discussion entirely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 00:33, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Jefferson quote[edit]
I've taken the [sic.] out of the Thomas Jefferson quote in the lead sentence of the History section. It seemed to me that this was being used to indicate doubt in Wikipedia's editorial voice about the content or import of the quote rather than (as the sic article describes it) to indicate that the quotation has been transcribed exactly as found in the original source, complete with any erroneous spelling or other nonstandard presentation.
The quote was originally added (with the [sic.] present) in this December 2009 edit as a followup to a Donald Rumsfeld quote added at the same time. The Rumsfeld quote was removed in this February 2011 edit. I've removed the cite of this Max Boot opinion piece. That cite (which seems to have used the {{cite book}} citation template inappropriately) appears to have been added in order to support the now-removed Rumsfeld quote, and seems no longer needed.
The article cites (LaFeber 1993) in support of the Jefferson quote. I've fleshed out that cite a bit further, but found that source not previewable online. I found that same quote (without the [sic]) in another source which is previewable online, and which also cites (LaFeber 1993). I've added a cite of that second supporting source to the article. I've also tweaked the text of the quote, moving the word until outside of the quoted text, because that is the way that source I've added quotes it. I don't know whether the LeFeber source has that word inside or outside of the quoted text.
That source I've added presents the Jefferson quote specifically in reference to "keeping foreign powers out of the Caribbean and Latin America." The article, however, seems to imply something else -- that Jefferson meant it in anticipation of the fall of the Spanish empire. I haven't changed this in the article, but perhaps it ought to be changed. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 04:13, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Why almost no discussion of actual imperialism?[edit]
This article doesn't even mention the Philippines, the Panama Canal Zone, and plenty of other places. The pseudo-imperialism of the US of the cold war and subsequently is definitely interesting and has a place in this article, but it is secondary in importance to the actual empire that the US built in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 12:05, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, this article should focus on 1895-1945, the Mexican War, and perhaps a few other examples of military expansion. Post-WWII overseas military bases and military conflicts also deserve some mention, as does American cultural influence around the world, since this is sometimes referred to as cultural imperialism or soft power. (And Manifest Destiny, various peaceful land purchases, etc.) There's plenty of American imperialism to cover without the article being the propaganda piece it currently is.--Wikimedes (talk) 18:08, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- I think the main problem is that 18th and 19th century imperialism is randomly interspersed with information about Cold War imperialism. A distinction has to be made and the article must be broken up. KingHiggins (talk) 10:11, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
About the section "US foreign policy debate"[edit]
It immediately begins with a discussion of annexation sourced to a report by the US congress, and is followed by completely unconnected quotes regarding American imperialism. I don't even know where to begin with fixing this section. What are we trying to describe? A debate within the US of what it should do with regards to empire building? A debate from outside the US with regards to what it is doing? Are we describing imperial efforts throughout history? At inception? During the Cold War? After the Cold War? This section is completely directionless and seems to be a dumping ground for every anon and passing editor to add their favorite quote. I've added a rewrite template, and I don't expect any immediate action. This is only a justification for that template if anyone is actually watching. PraetorianFury (talk) 23:06, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Looking at this edit, the assertion elsewhere in the edited paragraph that the U.S. was feverishly seeking territories such as Hawaii and Latin America in the late 19th century caught my eye. My reaction was: "Feverishly???!?!". I see that this was added without comment or support in this December 2013 edit (one edit in this series of six).
I don't have the time to get into this now, and I don't have the background to do so without boning up a lot. I do want to flag it as possibly needing attention, though. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 03:57, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

J. Lohr Riesling Monterey
J. Lohr - California - United States - Monterey County
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
Monterey County is located within the state of California, and whilst it may not be the most renowned wine producing region in the state, recent decades have proven that the wineries situated there are dedicated to raising their profile, and producing wines of singular quality and distinction. The warm, sunny summers which Monterey County enjoys help the wine-makers of the region cultivate an impressive array of grape varietals, mostly of French and Italian origin, including fine varietals such as Barbera, Cabernet Franc and Dolcetto, amongst many others. It is a center of viticultural experimentation, and also features many sustainable, organic and biodynamic wineries which are producing superb wines, packed with distinctive local flavors and characteristics.

Rude waitresses, decent breakfast food.
