Hooniverse Sunday Edition: Neoclassics on Ebay: Sparks, Zimmer, Tiffany, Spartan and others

Welcome to another Sunday Edition of Hooniverse, with special emphasis on Neoclassics being offered on Ebay. So, you just read the Excalibur posting, and you’re still not sick. Well here is a healthy dose of the other Neoclassics that were available during the Regan and Bush I administrations that should trigger your gag reflexes.

Here is a 1989 Tiffany Classic Coupe, which was the last year these things were built. According to the listing:

1989 Tiffany Classic Coupe, last year built, only 14,657 miles since new. Built by Classic Motor Carriages in Miami. This car is in beautiful condition and loaded with options, all of which work.

The car was built on a new 1988 Mercury Cougar LS and has all the popular features of the same. A 25 gal fuel tank, a V8 Ford Multiport fuel injected engine, automatic transmisssion, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power tinted sun roof, heater, radio, electric windows, power seats , a full digital dash and many other features.

This a very comfortable car with a very classic appeal, which I am only selling because I am reducing my car collection to concentrate in other business activities.

So what is this Mercury Cougar in Drag going for? The Buy-it-now price is $22,500. See the listing here.

Here is a 1985 Zimmer Golden Spirit with 52,000 miles on it. These were built on modified Ford Mustang chassis, with standard Mustang instrumentation, and the Ford 5.0L V-8. According to the listing:

This one owner Zimmer comes from Los Angeles, California and is in nice shape. Car has 52K original miles. Starts; run and drives well. Car starts easily, burns clean and has plenty of power. Brakes, suspension, shifting all in nice, working order. Exhaust is quiet. Vogue tires in excellent condition. Non-smoking, clean interior with no rips or tears. Comfortable, premium Ricaro seats in terrific condition and very comfortable. Air conditioning blows ice cold. Car has been garaged since new.

Some typical wear as would be expected for it’s age (see pictures) but in nice overall condition. Steering wheel was scratched up from the lady’s fancy rings, our detail guy painted it gold. (It was originally 24kt gold plated). We have replaced the battery, changed the oil, inspected all systems and detailed the car. Looks sharp and drives nicely.

Currently the bidding stands at over $10,000 but it hasn’t hit the reserve. See the listing here.

This is a 1980 Sparks Rumble Seat Roadster. Only 25 of these were ever made by Ron Sparks of Pacific Motor Works, in San Marcos California. According to the seller:

A few details to be considered about this beautiful piece of art. First, the car is in “EXCELLENT” mechanical condition! Second, the car has a V8 Cadillac 190hp engine. Third, it has a fold out rumble seat with French leather seating, convertible option, and hard top. Fourth, it has 6 wire tires. Both featured on the sides. Fifth, it contains a luggage rack, trumpet horns, and Fog lamps that separates it from other roadsters. Sixth, it has automatic power breaks and steering.

This is a definite one of a kind masterpiece that should be considered by those seeking class. Please pay attention to the detailed photos that will definitely give you an idea of what this “Classic” has to offer!

The Buy-it-now price is $25,000! See the listing here.

So you’re sitting here and wondering if there is an affordable neoclassic. Here it is, a 1985 Spartan Series II Phantom. This thing was built from a Nissan 280ZX. According to the listing:

ONE OF A KIND. THIS NOT A KIT CAR AND IS ONE OF 250 MADE. ALSO THIS MODEL WAS USED IN 101 DALMATIONS MOVIE. FULL LEATHER SEAT, T TOP THAT DOES NOT LEAK, POWER EVERTHING. A MUST SEE. WILL NEED SO WORK. HAS GREAT POTENTIAL AND HAS BEEN REPAINTED.

$5,000 is the starting bid, and it does come with the 2.8L Turbo Inline Six. See the listing here.

Here is a car that I can’t find any information about. It is a Noel Calias….. at least that’s what the ad says it is. This thing is built on a Oldsmobile Cutlass Chassis, and it has over 84,000 Miles. According to the listing:

The limited edition of the Noel provides exclusiveness. The fastidious attention to detail provides the imposing look of restrained elegance for the discriminating buyer. The best of two worlds! The Noel’s long wheelbase gaurantees a limousine style ride; the mid-car position of the engine provides sports car handling. The Noel combines vintage looks and style with modern-day reliability, performance and serviceability.

Standout! Be GOOD to yourself. Classic #9 out of 11 made! 350 engine, T-Tops, wire wheels. Built on a Cutlass Chassity. RUNS GREAT!….BEAUTY. This vehicle is titled 82 oldsmobile. There is some rust on passenger side on the fifth wheel, as shown on pics. and on the drivers side door next to the key lock some paint has peeled off, also shown in pics. I would suggest a paint job on entire car, it is not really neccessary because it’s just a couple of areas. Jus what i’d do. thanks, lisa

Currently, the bidding is up to $6,900. See the ad here.

Finally, there is this one-of-a-kind, handmade masterpiece. It is titles as a “Special” in Arizona, and it is built on a Chevrolet Chassis with a 350 CID V-8. According to the listing:

This is a one-of-a-kind handbuilt convertible. It is NOT a kit car. On a 1978 Chev Impala chassis. 305 V8 engine with automatic transmission and AC. Fenders, hood etc. are of fiberglass.

Less than 24,000 miles on the chassis. Regular AZ titled as a “special”. I purchased the car partially done from a retired auto dealer and it took me 5 years to complete it. The exterior paint is GM dark sapphire blue – a beautiful metallic blue. The fabric blue interior beautifully complements the exterior color. The vehicle is in excellent condition. I am selling only because I am looking at the new Chev Camarros and need the garage space. This is a beautiful vehicle – unique in that there is not another like it.

Buy-it-now price is $16,500. See the entire listing here.

Are any of these cars worth considering? Let me know your thoughts below.
