Stunning restored and modified American classics to be offered at auction ...
Not one, but two impeccable and iconic American restomod muscle cars are being offered at auction with the original online classic car auctioneer, The Market, giving petrolheads a rare opportunity to acquire possibly two of the most stunning and powerful examples of classic Americana available today.
Bidding will start on a 1970 Ford Mustang SVT Terminator Cobra on 2nd November and start on a 1974 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, on 3rd November with both auctions closing a week later. The cars are estimated to fetch around £90,000 - £120,000 and £85,000 - £100,000 respectively.
A true Blue Oval thoroughbred, the Mustang’s modernisation combines the classic original looks of the 1970s original with many upgraded components from the 2003/4 ‘Terminator’ Cobra developed by Ford’s in-house SVT team.
Now fitted with a 2.6-litre Kenne Bell supercharger, the tuned 4.6-litre V8 petrol engine delivers a mighty 688bhp, up from its original 390bhp, which is capable of powering the car to an estimated top speed of over 180mph.
Indeed, the entire 21st century Ford engine, drivetrain, chassis and suspension remains intact as per its original design, meaning it delivers stunning performance guaranteed to deliver many smiles per mile.
Meanwhile, finished in striking Mopar Snakeskin Green, the Dodge features a number of custom engineering upgrades designed to bring the very best out of this classic. Hosting a modern Dodge Hellcat engine with a jaw-dropping output of 707bhp, the car’s raw power has been complemented with a custom suspension setup from Control Freaks, ensuring it performs as well as it looks.
Interested parties are encouraged to inspect the vehicles before bidding commences which can be arranged through the auction website using the unique ‘Contact Seller’ function. Bidders are also reminded that with The Market, they only pay what they bid as buyers fees, common with most traditional auction houses, are not charged.
