Ford Mustang 289 Cabriolet

This Car released in 1964, the Ford Mustang aimed to take the car market by storm with a product that offered performance and personality to the masses. Thought by its creators as the American VW Beetle, the large variety of engine and optional features allowed for each customer to create his perfect Mustang.

For the 1967 model-year, the Mustang received its first redesign. While the overall lines remained unchanged, it seemed as every detail had grown. The overall length increased, the main grill grew, the wheel arches became more prominent. Most Mustang aficionados consider 1967 the best model year before its design features became too exaggerated.

This Ford Mustang is one of 44,000 convertibles sold that year by Ford. Equipped with the optional 289 ci V8, it started its life in California where the current owner purchased it more than 10 years ago. This Mustang had always been carefully maintained by its consecutive owners.

After he purchased it, the owner decided to offer this Mustang a new youth. The venerable cast-iron 289 gave way to an all-new alloy 302 ci from Ford Motorsport, which develops 350 bhp. Several mechanical components were also overhauled and replaced, including the exhaust system and the radiator. Suspensions and brakes were also overhauled. 

BMW 2800 CS

In the 1969, the BMW line-up lacked a 6-cylinder coupé able to compete with Mercedes’ own 250 SE and 280 SE, respectively launched in 1965 and 1967. Using the underpinnings of the 2000C and 2000CS, the 2800 CS replaced them in 1969. Longer than its predecessors, the 2800 CS allowed the use of the all 2,800cc, 6-cylinder engine from the E3 7-Series developing 170 bhp.

The BMW 2800 CS we are happy to offer for sale is a genuine Group 2 car used in the Italian touring car championship from 1969 to 1971. It was very successful in the hands of Italian driver Giuseppe Tarpani, taking 3rd overall place in the 1970 Championship in the 3000cc class.
 

Developping 280 bhp (dyno-tested), this exceptional BMW 2800 CS Group 2 is equipped with a 5-speed Getrag gearbox and three Weber carburetors. The important lot of spares available with the car allows to race in either the 1969 or 1971 specifications.
 

This BMW 2800 CS Group 2 is eligible in most historical races including Le Mans Classic. With its exceptional level of performance and its perfect, ready-to-race condition, this BMW 2800 CS is a serious competitor for top spots in vintage races.
