Car of the Week: 1969 Mustang GT R-Code
Mustang GT R-Code surprise, Duesenberg takes the top prize and a Land Rover we'd love to buy in this week's Old Cars newsletter.
Shelby hunt leads to Ford engineering Mustang GT R-Code test car surprise.
In 1989, Henry Isaksen, an architect from Sturgeon Bay, Wis., received a phone call from Roger Strege, a local building inspector and longtime friend who told him there was a white 1968 Shelby sitting in a barn only minutes away.
From a distance, Isaksen looked at the weathered, white rolling body shell and immediately knew that it wasn't a '68 Shelby. Instead, it was a rusty, disassembled 1969 Mustang GT hardtop coupe missing the engine and rear end. Even though it wasn't what he was looking for, Isaksen looked at the car's VIN and something caught his eye. The VIN contained an "R," indicating this coupe left the factory as a Ram Air 428 Cobra Jet car. He asked the owner what had happened to the engine and rear end. His response was, "I bought it like it is, pretty much a rolling chassis, and my plan was to put a 390 engine into it and make it a daily driver."
1935 Duesenberg SJ Convertible Victoria takes 'Best of Show' honors as Chris Brewer named as new president of the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance & Motoring Festival.
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C – Hilton Head Island's marquee event tagged the 1935 Duesenberg SJ Convertible Victoria, proudly owned by the Mr. Chip Cofer of Tucker, Georgia, as "Best of Show" winner. The enchanting grand finale unfolded at the Port Royal Golf Club, nestled in the Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
Stand out with this sweet '64 Land Rover. Yeah, we'd buy that!
The market for trucks of all shapes and sizes — particularly American lighty-duty pickups and SUVs from the 1960s through the 90s — has gone through the roof in recent years. This 1964 Land Rover is probably a bit of a mystery truck for most enthusiasts, so we'll be interested to see what this baby sells for. It's listed on Bring A Trailer and bidding was still at a paltry $8,100 at press time.
