MotoeXotica is pleased to announce our latest addition, rare 1973 Excalibur Series II Roadster. Noted industrial designer Brooks Stevens has designed a number of interesting cars over the years, one more exciting than his own Excalibur. Using the 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK as inspiration, reator Mr. Stevens launched his Excalibur in 1964. Originally using a Studebaker chassis and engine, tevens was able to fulfill his dream of making a new car with classic 30's styling. He was quoted as saying "" I wanted this to be a replica [for those] that could not play in the collector's market even then [and for those who wanted] a "two-way classic,' something that you can be sure will get you back home..." Unfortunately Studebaker ceased production, hus Stevens was forced to change chassis and engine supplier. Mr. Stevens fortunately had friends in General Motors was able to convinced them into supplying Corvette chassis and powertrain combinations for use in these unique automobiles.

Painted in a crisp red, ith orange and off-red pin stripping and accents, his car is truly something special. Overall the paint is in very good condition, ut does show some signs of age with only minor imperfections. On the front louvers and fenders the paint is starting to "spider-web" very lightly and there are the typical road use marks too. Around the door hinges small cracks and chips are starting to appear as well, ery typical for these cars. Meeting America's modern safety regulations, he Series II has shock mounted front and rear bumpers; both of which are in excellent condition. The majority of the chrome and stainless steel found on the front grille, orns, ights, rim, nd luggage rack is in fantastic condition with the only blemish being rub marks on the stainless steel grille. The black vinyl hardtop is in great condition, t seals well and has only very minor signs of wear. This top is fully removable and comes complete with a top boot, ull tonneau cover, ull weather side curtains and a cover for the trunk in the rear. This awesome Phaeton has numerous configurations and does them all well.

The interior is soft black leather that is in great condition, o rips or tears or signs of major wear. Unique to this example are the addition of high back bucket seats which have a fold-able headrest for added comfort. A majority of the interior hardware was donated from the C3 Corvette too; including the steering column, edals, auges, rive selector, eater, nd air conditioning. All of those Corvette parts are in great condition, ith minor signs of use.

Under the hood, ou'll find a massive 454 cubic inch big block Chevy engine that is mated to an automatic Turbo 400 transmission which is shifted through the floor. The iconic exhaust pipes coming out either side of the hood are completely functional and allow the big motor to breathe freely. This Excalibur has power steering, ower 4-wheel disc brakes and air conditioning. The car sits upon a set of chrome wire wheels wrapped snug in newer 225/70R15 BF Goodrich white wall tires that look great. The dual side mounts also have the same wire wheels and tires too.
