Here are three interesting cars for sale:
1962 GHIA L6.4
This was Dean Martin's car customized by George Barris. Only 26 Ghia L6.4s were made. The engine is a 335 hp Chrysler 383 cid V8 with a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. Italian style with American power, always great. Anyone would look good cruising down Sunset in this baby!
Available from Hyman Ltd. in St. Louis for $199,500.
1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV
This was Rod Stewart's car. The engine is a 4.0 Litre V12 with a 5-speed ZF transaxle. It has been restored by a marque expert and is reportedly in excellent condition. I would look good cruising in this anywhere!
Available from Fantasy Junction in California for $895,000.
1957 BMW Isetta 300
The engine is a 298cc, so the power is not much but these cars were designed by Iso to be easy and inexpensive city transportation. The driver parks front first into the curb and opens the door and steps out onto the sidewalk. This works because the steering wheel is attached to the door. Iso had to license this design to BMW, and other companies, because they did not sell well in the Italian market - maybe they were not cool enough for the Italian market. Times have changed and Isettas have become hip. I do not believe that any famous singer owned this car.
Available from Ooley and Blackburn in Indiana on eBay for $24,900 or make an offer.
