Talk about a classic muscle car with provenance! This 1970 Boss 429 Mustang spent most of its early years racing at drag strips in Mighigan. At one point it was tuned by Jack Roush himself. Then it disappeared for a while until it was discovered in a barn and in 2016 it was brought back to its current concours condition by Mustang restorer Kevin Manley. Today it is being offered for sale by The Last Detail in North Chicago, Illinois. They tell us this Boss 9 scored 994 points out of 1,000 by the Mustang Club of America. Presented in its original livery of Grabber Blue with a white interior, this car is done to concours standards inside and out. Follow this link to view dozens of detailed photos. Note the show interior and under carriage. This King of the Hill muscle car could be the centerpiece of any high quality collection.

A 1967 Corvette L71 427/435 Coupe was just listed by a private collector in Abilene, Texas. He bought the car as the second owner when it had just 1,624 miles on it and it still has just 41k original miles. What we were impressed with is how the Texas collector decided to advertise his car for sale. In the ad you'll find several important links. Click to see the original window sticker, a breakdown of the numbers and VIN, and a three-page brochure with tons of information about the car. Then the cherry on top is the video walk-around inspection he included in the ad where he goes over every part of the car and lets you hear it run. Our hat is off to Jim for listing the most interesting ad we've seen this week.

This week, Daniel Schmitt & Company out of St Louis, Missouri posted a true vintage motorcar with provenance that just screams for attention. This incredible 1935 Chrysler C2 Airflow Imperial 8 was recently obtained from the Carroll Shelby Collection. It is one of the few non-Shelby vehicles he ever owned, showing how much he respected this car. Even more impressive, Shelby purchased the Airflow from the personal collection of his friend, Hollywood icon Steve McQueen. Daniel Schmitt & Company tells us this is one of the finest examples of an original Chrysler Airflow in existence. Finished in stunning Envoy Red, the classic motorcar is one of only 2,398 Airflows produced. It is considered an innovative design which was way ahead of its time in automotive history. It deserves to be held in a fine collection or museum.

As you may have gleaned from our COL Collector Car Market Trends Report (see story above) Pontiac Trans Am pony cars are among the fastest appreciating cars in the collector car hobby right now.

RK Motors produced this walk-around video/inspection.

He says it is basically a very well maintained "all steel" body from an early '90's full restoration that includes the normal upgrades from the era: power seat, tilt wheel, automatic transmission, power windows, shaved handles, remote door poppers, and tweed upholstery everywhere. Then some modern upgrades make this car stand out, such as 4 link suspension, 4-wheel power disc brakes, MII front suspension, cold A/C, and, icing the cake, a 5.7L Hemi engine. It is a no brainer to be our DEAL of the DAY for early next week. The asking price is just $28,000.

This is a 1965 Ford Falcon Ranchero which is probably in daily driver quality because the Michigan seller says, "This is a car that you can drive as you fix up here and there."
