Interesting Finds: 2013 Scion FR-S

Hunter Taylor, a student from Tempe, Arizona, was a car enthusiast before he even had a driver license. He explains: “This 2013 Scion FR-S is my first car. I started working at 14 to be able to buy it for my 16th birthday. Ever since, the car has been hand-crafted and designed by me.” Hunter’s car was a few years old when he acquired it, but it was a well-preserved blank canvas for his future build. His custom creation was on display during this year’s Future Collector Car Show at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale.

Above you’ll find a four-minute video from the ClassicCars TV YouTube channel that highlights Hunter’s car.

FR-S Model Backstory

The FR-S sports coupe is a machine that was born via a unique collaboration between Toyota and Subaru. It first debuted as the Toyota 86 at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2011, and deliveries began in April of the following year. In the United States, the car was initially sold as both the Subaru BRZ and as the Scion FR-S.

Even without any modifications, the FR-S was known right out of the gate for its incredible balance. This was made possible via its low center of gravity and a rear-wheel drive arrangement. The stock “boxer” 2.0-liter flat-four was code-named the 4U-GSE in Toyota models and the FA20 in Subaru models. It was naturally aspirated and carried ratings of 200 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque in stock configuration. Power was sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.

Scion, which had started as a division of Toyota in 2003, was later phased out in 2016. Today, the spiritual successor to the FR-S is sold as the Toyota GR86 and is powered by a larger 2.4-liter motor.

Hunter’s Custom Creation

The perfect balance of form and function are evident in the combination of upgrades that Hunter chose to build to his FR-S over the last seven or so years. “The car is a jack-of-all-trades,” Hunter says. “It does everything from daily driving, road trips, drifting, time attack, and most importantly, grocery-getting.”

Right off the bat, the car is an attention-grabber thanks to some of the cosmetic upgrades. These include a Vertex body kit, sequential headlights, RAYS Gram Lights 18-inch wheels, a black 3M roof wrap, a Toyota Racing Development (TRD) paint-matched rear spoiler, a Valenti brake light, and 35% window tint. The aggressive stance is made possible from a set of BC Racing coilovers, and handling is augmented through Megan tie rods, a Kansei Service strut brace, a Cusco trailing arm, and much more.

One of the things that Hunter prides himself in is that the car is upgraded with aftermarket heated leather seats – definitely not something anyone would expect to find in a compact “tuner” type vehicle. The cockpit is also equipped with LED lighting, a Sony AX5000 head unit, a TRD shift knob, and Dynamat sound deadening throughout. Needless to say, the attention to detail is found everywhere.

Takeaways

It rewarding to see the automotive hobby being supported and embraced by a younger generation. At only 22 years old, Hunter is walking (and driving!) proof that the future of the car hobby is still strong. We are excited to see what kind of tricks Hunter has up his sleeve for future updates on this very sweet Scion. Stay tuned to the ClassicCars TV YouTube channel for more highlights from automotive events.

Pick of the Day: 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS

Pick of the Day: 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS

For eight seasons between 1980 and 1988, Tom Selleck starred in an American crime drama television series called Magnum, P.I. The show ranked in the top 20 programs for its first several years. Sharing equal screen time with the lead actor was a car that Selleck’s character frequently drove: a Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole. Today, we get to feast our eyes on a car much like the one that so many people loved to watch on TV during the Magnum days.

The Pick of the Day is a low-mileage 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Voorhees, New Jersey. (Click the link to view the listing)

“Excellent, mint-condition, 37k original miles,” the listing says. “Exhilarating drive, garage-kept.”

With styling drawn by Pininfarina, the 308 GTB (Berlinetta coupe body style) and the 308 GTS (removable Targa top body style) were first shown to the public at the Paris Motor Show in 1975. Subsequent years brought advancements in design and engineering, with a big advancement happening in 1982 when the car received four valves per cylinder. Aptly dubbed the “Quattrovalvole,” (which literally translated to “four-valved”) this car could be identified by a few unique cues such as revised vent panels and marker lamps. No color besides today’s featured “Rosso Corsa” red would look quite right on this car.

The listing says, “Second and current owner since 1988 with original owner’s manual, tool, kit, etc.”

The quad-cam, mid-mounted 2.9-liter Tipo F105 AB V8 is a definite marvel of engineering. It was mid-mounted in a transverse arrangement and used a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection system. The redline was a sky-high 7,700 rpm. Although its factory ratings (230 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque) were nothing to write home about, this car wasn’t about a spec sheet: It was about driving dynamics. This car was built with a suspension that could handle the corners as well as its engine could accelerate through them. The setup was fully independent in nature and featured double wishbones at each corner.

Power for the 308 is channeled to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Even though today’s featured car has low miles, the seller notes that all services including a timing belt replacement have been recently completed at a dealership.

“A must-see. Pictures do not do it justice,” the listing concludes. This car would make anyone feel like an instant television star. The fame and stardom will set you back an asking price of $109,500.

AMCs Converge at Cactus Classic

Did you know Phoenix is an AMC town? One of the most famous American Motors dealerships in America was Randall Rambler, the place that dropped 401s into Gremlins and created a legend. Many other AMC legends converged at the Martin Auto Museum in northwest Phoenix to display their automotive patriotism.

This is the Playboy Playmate 1968 AMX.

Of course, Javelins and AMXs made a strong showing, but we also had Rambler Americans and several Jeep products. No Rebels and Ambassadors? Last year we caught a few, but we didn’t see any this year. Ditto Nash and Hudson products. Nonetheless, enjoy the pics of the cars from Kenosha.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur.

When it was new, Bentley marketed the Flying Spur with the tagline “Poise. Performance. Passion.” The car was referred to as a “seductively beautiful four-door,” and it would set you back $164,990 in 2006. This 63,000-mile example in Barnato Green still yields all the same elegance 18 years later. The car is being offered by a private seller, and the auction will end on Tuesday.

The equipment list of this car is impressive: It boasts a 552-horsepower twin-turbocharged W12 motor, all-wheel drive, 19-inch wheels, a 12-speaker audio system, quad-zone automatic climate control, a navigation system, and an adjustable air suspension. The original retail price mentioned above inflates to a staggering $255,613 today. Can you imagine driving a quarter-million-dollar vehicle? This auction could be your chance to acquire it at a deep discount.

The Continental Flying Spur rode on the Volkswagen Group D1 platform and was first shown to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2005. The spec sheet was impressive on many levels; of course, the amenities were generous, but the car could also move with authority. Power came from a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and a Torsen permanent all-wheel drive system. Despite its size, the car was said to achieve 60 miles per hour in fewer than five seconds.

The odometer reads 63,065 miles, and everything on the CARFAX report checks out. In fact, the CARFAX chronology is one of the biggest selling points of this car. It contains 26 service records, the majority of which were from Braman Motorcars of Palm Beach. Braman prides itself in being a premier exotic-focused dealership for the area, it is nice to know that this Flying Spur has been serviced by people who are experts in the model. For added peace of mind, recent work has included service to the struts, alignment, brakes, and cabin air filter all within the last few years.

Are you ready to take your commute to the next level in European executive style? This Silver Spur will look right at home in your driveway. It makes a statement of poise, performance, and passion – just as Bentley intended it to.

The auction for this 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur four-door luxury sedan ends Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. (PDT)

Pick of the Day: 1970 Dodge Charger R/T-SE

Pick of the Day: 1970 Dodge Charger R/T-SE

When you see “Special Edition” attached to a car, it usually is an eye-roller – what’s so special about a car with a trim level SE that’s above LE and below SLE, for example? It means nothing. But has it ever had meaning? Our Pick of the Day is an SE that carried more weight before it was watered down into oblivion: a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T-SE listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealership in Allen, Texas. (Click the link to view the listing)

The Charger was in its third and final year of its styling cycle for 1970. Most apparent was a new front bumper that wrapped around the nose. Out back, chrome trim created a distinctive detail different from 1969 that made the taillights look like one single unit. R/Ts featured bolt-on scoops to the doors with “R/T” badges. Inside, high-back bucket seats were a new feature depending on the type of Charger that you selected.

So, what types of Chargers were there from which to choose? Previously, there was the Charger and performance-oriented Charger R/T. For 1970, there now were three Chargers. Note the VIN prefixes:

Model1968-691970
ChargerXPXH
Charger 500—XP
Charger R/TXSXS

If you can shake the thought of the NASCAR-inspired 1969 Charger 500 and focus on this for a moment, you’ll see the XP Charger evolved from the 1968-69 Charger to 1970 Charger 500. Buckets were standard with this trim level. The base Charger was now a new step-down trim level and, hence, equipment, featuring a bench seat and XH VIN prefix.

Dodge’s Special Edition equipment first appeared as a fancy Coronet 500 four-door sedan in 1966. While the hardtop and convertible were simply Coronet 500s, the four-door sedan was the Coronet 500 SE. It featured a “luxurious combination of pleated Winslow cloth and Cologne-grained vinyl” including bright trim and special door trim for a more luxurious effect. This SE was discontinued for 1968, then revived for the 1969 Charger as an optional décor group (code A47) that included leather and vinyl front bucket seats, woodgrain steering wheel and inserts in the instrument panel, hood-mounted turn signal indicators, pedal dress-up, deep-dish wheel covers, light package, and SE badges. The SE package was also available for the Charger R/T as well. This continued into 1970 but, as you can imagine based in the above chart, the SE package was only available for the Charger 500 and R/T.

For 1971, as the Charger was redesigned and inched towards the personal luxury market, the Charger SE became its own model and, by 1973, became the most popular Charger model.

This 1970 Charger R/T-SE is one of the more interesting specimen due to its mix of options. Since it’s an R/T, that means it came with a 440 Magnum standard, but the original buyer went a step up and specified the 440 Six Pack, which was a new option for the R/T. This one has the code A34 Super Track Pak, which means it features a four-speed manual (with the new-for-1970 Hurst “Pistol Grip” shifter) with 4.10 gears and supporting heavy-duty equipment. Other desirable options include “Gator Grain” vinyl roof, code V21 Hood Performance Paint Treatment, code V24 Hood Performance Engine Callout (owner-added), and “V6X Bumblebee” stripe, among others.

“Amazing rotisserie restoration with about 1200 miles on it,” says the seller. “Date-code correct 440 HP motor and date code correct transmission, original Dana.” This is a primo piece of Mopar performance, which is reflected in the $185,000 asking price.

Pick of the Day: 1996 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn

Pick of the Day: 1996 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn

After spending a few days last week driving the new Rolls-Royce Spectre and the Black badge Ghost, I decided to make my Pick of the Day a more affordable Rolls-Royce car. Now I have owned a few Rolls-Royces over the years and have driven at least 30 of them. When compared to other cars built during the 1980s-1990s, Rolls-Royce cars were (in most cases) the best cars in the world at the time. Yes these cars are somewhat complex, and they do need regular servicing, but a nice example of one of these cars makes for one of the most elegant and well constructed cars of the era. In addition they are still a bit of a bargain, especially when you factor what these cars cost new.

The Pick of the Day is one of the last models built in the old Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe, England, a 1996 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn located in St. Ann, Missouri.

This Silver Dawn is described as being finished in the classic and highly desirable Mason Black paint with a red coachline over Black Connolly leather interior that is surrounded by magnificent burled Walnut woodwork. They state that this exquisite motorcar has been meticulously maintained and driven a mere 44,000 miles from new.

The Silver Dawn is an interesting model for Rolls-Royce. These cars are basically a revision of the Silver Spur but one designed as more of a car to drive rather than to be driven in. These cars had a number of modifications to distinguish them from the Silver Spur including an Electronic Traction Assistance System, rear seat heaters, a radiator height reduced by two inches, a Spirit of Ecstasy reduced by 20%, and a lower front fascia, all which were basically burrowed from their sister company at the time, Bentley. It is interesting to note that the Silver Dawn was first introduced as a model to the U.S. before becoming available to the rest of the world. The Silver Dawn is a very rare Rolls-Royce model with a total of only around 40 cars delivered to the U.S., and a total production of only 237 cars built.

The interior of this car is everything you would expect from a Rolls-Royce, and the leather seats and wood are all in absolutely exceptional condition. This is a car that is a nice place to spend a lot of time both behind the wheel and in the back seat.

The engine compartment is in equally excellent condition and looks to be completely spotless with no leaks or dirt anywhere. This looks to be a car that was very well cared for over the years.

The photos of this car show a 1990s era Rolls-Royce in exceptional condition with no issues whatsoever. I would want to see the service history of this car and see if it is up to date and if the car passes a pre-purchase inspection, this is a car that I would own.

This Silver Dawn includes all its original books, toolkit, a clean Carfax, and a fitted car cover. With an asking price of $46,900, it represents a great value in the market for a world class automobile and is about 1/3 the price for a high-mile modern Rolls-Royce.

1964 Pontiac Banshee Prototype XP-833 Surfaces for Sale, Again

1964 Pontiac Banshee Prototype XP-833 Surfaces for Sale, Again

The one-off 1964 Pontiac Banshee coupe concept is once again for sale, this time in a listing at Hemmings. The asking price is a cool $1.2 million.

The Banshee was an early attempt by General Motors to counter the Ford Mustang. Known internally as the XP-833, it was the brainchild of John Z. DeLorean, who was head of Pontiac at the time. More sports car than pony car, it featured sleek fiberglass bodywork that resembles the later C3 Chevrolet Corvette and Opel GT.

Instead of a bespoke sports-car platform, though, the Banshee borrowed mechanical hardware from the first-generation Pontiac Tempest. It used that car’s unusual rear transaxle driven by a flexible metal driveshaft often called a “rope drive” to send power from an inline-6 engine to the rear wheels.

GM nixed the Banshee after two prototypes—this silver coupe and a white convertible—were built, allegedly because executives were concerned that the Pontiac would steal sales from the Corvette. Pontiac instead got the Firebird as its Mustang fighter, sharing the GM F-Body platform with the Chevy Camaro.

Pontiac Banshee coupe

The two Banshee prototypes were hidden away until they could be purchased by GM employees. The coupe stayed with its purchaser until 2006, when it was bought by dealer Len Napoli of Milford, Connecticut, for $210,600 at a Barrett-Jackson auction. Napoli is a noted Pontiac collector whose family ran a Pontiac dealership from 1958 until GM pulled the plug on the division.

Napoli has tried to sell the Banshee coupe multiple times. It first popped up for sale in 2010, and was last listed for sale through Napoli’s Kia dealership in 2020 with a $750,000 asking price. Napoli appears to be the seller once again, as the car is still listed as being sold by a dealer in Milford, Connecticut, with the same 1,498 miles as the last time it surfaced for sale. Will it finally find a buyer this time?
