Muscle Cars Flex Their Muscles in Britain

Filed in archive Auctions , Muscle Cars by Philip Powell on February 25, 2008

1970 Charger

It seems the muscle car syndrome reaches far beyond our shores. In the UK (where big American cars make little sense on narrow lanes and crowded city streets) a number of cars have come out of private collections for the first 'Classics from BCA' sale on February 26th at BCA Blackbushe. Among the gems is a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T featuring a rare red-on-red color scheme, powered by a modified 440 Magnum, while a 1969 Dodge Super Bee is believed to be the lowest-mileage and most-original surviving example of this budget muscle car. Mileage is just 28,000 and the car is complete with its original dealer order sheet.

Also offered are such gems as a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda notchback with a 383 c.i. V-8; a 1968 chevellelinks adorned with flame graphics and an aluminum induction ram protruding through the hood; an Oldsmobile Cutlass 442; and some less powerful but equally desirable oldies such as a 1957 Thunderbird Convertible, a 1948 Cadillac fastback coupe and my personal favorite, a 1965 Corvair coupe with just 42,250 miles on the odometer. Muscle car bargain hunters put off by the absurd prices being paid for similar vehicles in US auctions will be amazed at the comparatively low estimates. You may want to consider a trip to the UK this summer where, with a little research, you could return with a much-desired collectible, having saved enough to pay for the vacation.
