Steven Brimmer

The only known Lotus Turbo Esprit fitted with a factory installed intercooler. The car also was fitted built with hard shell bumpers which did not appear in production until two model years later. A unique example of Lotus factory variants of the Esprit.

Guy Browning

This was the first Ferrari to use a boxer engine in a road car. The boxer was the last of the hand built Ferraris. Scaglietti was hired by the Ferrari factory to hand build these great mid-engined super cars. The panels were put onto wooden bucks and hammered to shape by very talented craftsmen. No Ferrari has been built this way since the Boxer went out of production in 1984.

I have been into sporty cars all my life. This is my third Ferrari and one that has been the most fun and work! This Euro "A" version, completed in 11/72 was sold by Motor Roma, imported to California in 1973. I purchased the car four years ago and rebuilt everything mechanical on the car. The engine rebuild was done by Carobu Engineering in Costa Mesa and puts out 415 HP on the dyno. It is a fantastic car—no concessions to smog or safety! It is an elemental car: steel, gasoline, fire, oil and water. No street car sounds better from idle to 7700 RPM! This cars numerous awards includes; Best in Class at; Wheels & Windmills, Solvang 2005 & Gathering of Friends, San Luis Obispo, 2007, 2008. Best Italian Car, Ventura Motorsports Show, 2008; FCA Gold Award Concorso Pasadena, 2008; Podium car at 40th Anniversary of the 365 GTB/4 at Concorso Italiano, Monterey, 2008; Platinum Award, LA Concours, June 2009 with highest score in class.

Introduced at the 1973 Paris Auto Salon, The Dino 308 GT4 was a ground breaking car for Ferrari - The first mid-engine V8 production car built by Maranello, and the first Ferrari production car designed by Bertone. This model has finally been recognized by collectors around the world for its excellent handling, great sounding engine and unique styling. This car won a silver award at one of the largest Ferrari gatherings in history at the Concorso Italiano in Monterrey in 2004. Owning this car was lifelong dream come true and I am most proud that I do all of the work on this fine automobile myself. I would like to thank my beautiful wife Rose, for her support of my passion for all things Ferrari!

This 62 +4 morgan is one of only 298 dropheads produced between the years 1935 and 1967, which makes this one of the more rare models. morgan ran le mans in 1962 and won their class. this morgan was produced with the same tr-4 egine and moss box transmission that was used for le mans. they are fast and rigid like a buck board and are great fun to drive on curvy roads.

BEAUTIFUL, all original 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL. One of the nicest 450SL's around. Original California car, owned by the original owner up until recently. This car has very low miles, and has records supporting this. The car is completely original inside and out! The paint and body are in excellent condition and the interior is absolutely like new! The carpets, seat, dash and door panels are in pristine condition. This SL also has both tops. The original owner took excellent care of this car. Mechanically, the car needs nothing at all - it runs and drives as good as the day it rolled off of the showroom floor.

Martin Hochman

I share the opinion that many reviewers have expressed that the BMW 740i Sport is a great driving cars for the highways and byways. The 2001 is the last year of the E38 series - before the body style changed to one widely considered less attractive. This is one of those cars that combines excellent handling with comfort, and is also fun to drive. And interestingly enough, at speed on the Interstates on trips it consistently gets 24 -25 mpg, not bad for a substantial car with a V8 and sport gearing traveling at higher speeds.

Martin Jansen

One of less than 275 Dino 308 GT4 models built in 1975, this car was the replacement for the Dino 246, both named after Enzo Ferrari's beloved son Alfredo. Designed by Marcello Gandini for Bertone, this car was the first mid-engine V8 production car built by Ferrari. The year 1975 is special because that year Ferrari won the Formula One World Constructors Championship and Niki Lauda won the World's Drivers Championship. Niki Lauda used his racing experience to help develop the car handling and Enzo Ferrari himself was very involved in the cars overall design. In 1975 this model was the only Ferrari imported to the U.S.

Steve and Marsha Johnson

Will Kalbermatter

The Ferrari 512 Belinetta Boxer is one of the most beautiful and aggressive Ferrari's ever produced. It is powered by a 5 liter (4942 cc) horizontally opposed 12 cylinder engine fed by 4 triple throat Weber carburetors putting out 380 hp at 6200 rpm's. The engine is derived from the highly successful Formula One racing engine and is technically a 180 degree V12. The 512BB was the replacement for the 365 BB, and was designed by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti. There were 929 examples built between 1976 & 1980, unfortunately none for the US market, which had to wait until European cars were imported and federalized. This magnificent example is owned by Will Kalbermatter. Will is a master metal fabricator whose other interests include; vintage aircraft, automobiles, and motorcycles.

Ernie Nagamatsu

This car was the land speed record holder in 1948 in it's class. This event is the first time it will be seen in public since it was retired.

This Porsche was raced for more than 32 years by General Kilatrick in SCCA. It is now being vintage raced.
This Special was built by Max Balchowsky in 1959. It was driven by some of racing's greatest drivers. Carroll Shelby, Dan Gurney, Bob Bondurant, Billy Krause, Bob Drake, Paul O'Shea, and Max Balchowsky. This car broke many track records and competed against some of the best.

James Oldham

The 328 series, built through model years 1986-89, was the final iteration of the 308 series. After more than a decade of development and refinement leading up to this model, the 328 has earned a well-deserved reputation as the "trouble-free" Ferrari.

This example, #78291, was built in June of 1988. It has the upgraded suspension, hence the convex wheels. As result, it's often confused with the 1989 model, which was fitted with ABS. 1988 cars with the suspension upgrade are sometimes referred to as "88&1/2s".

I acquired this car in November of 1999, with only 16k miles on it. Since then I've put over 28k miles on it, and I drive it weekly.

Melody Reid

Drove lots of different types of exotic cars in car clubs and decided I liked this one the best. Traveled all over the US looking for just the right Gallardo to buy. Found this one in West Palm Beach and had it shipped home to California in March 09. Then the work began to get it in its present shape. LADYS BUL has 512 Hp and is a high option Lamborghini Gallardo. (e-gear (paddle shifting), rear camera, plus so many other options) It has a black with cherry red topstitched interior. My favorite part aside from its stunning Italian design is the superb handling and when you downshift, it roars. Life is good!

My first love. I have always loved Corvettes. Searched all over California when these first came out in 2001. When I saw this one my heart stopped. Bought it that night and have loved it ever since. Now, a daily driver- a sweet way to make that long drive to work in Los Angeles. Has 405 Hp, titanium exhausts, and chrome wheels.

Scott Takasugi, MD

The car is a 935S replica built by American International Racing. A 1973 chassis was chosen to avoid California Smog laws in order to one day transplant the carbureted 3.2 liter Carrerra motor. It was used in the 1987 movie No Mans Land with Charlie Sheen and D.B. Sweeney. The producer wanted a slantnose, but at that time the slantnose was an option only through the Special Wish Program at Werke 1 in Zuffenhausen. It later became a factory option M505 in 1987 and 1988. The Car‚ famous scene was being driven away on Rodeo Drive with a close-up of the license plate, PVT DNCR. Like the 1984 Tina Turner song, Private Dancer, after ‚you buy her, she do what you want her to do. Charlie Sheen screams This car handles!

Daisy Tatum

I am the original owner of the Jaguar XKE 2+2 purchased new, December 17, 1968 at Encore Motors, Oxnard, CA. I first saw a Jaguar at 15 years of age and know at that time it would be my first car. I completed high school, went to college, started teaching in Little Rock, AR, returned to Oxnard during a vacation and purchased the Jag. I drove back to Little Rock and created quite a sensation since it was the only Jag in the state at that time. The Jag would have to be driven to Tulsa, Ok to be serviced. I returned to California in 1969, have driven the car regularly and have many, many stories to tell.
