Description

This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .Do not miss this opportunity and become the new owner of this unique and rare Auburn convertible! This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION.

Auburn was founded in 1900 and built the most beautiful cars until 1937. In 1925, the company was acquired by Erret Cord who incorporated it in his Cord Corporation a few years later. In 1937, the group collapsed during The Great Depression. Unfortunately it also meant the end for Auburn.

This Auburn 876 Speedster is one of the few licensed, delivered Auburns from the 60s-70s (the car was built by Auburn Speedster Co. Inc. (Pasadena, California)). This Auburn is known as the '1936 Auburn' on the registration (see annex), just like the original.

The car was built in the late 1960s after the Auburn rights were bought in order to produce several hundred Auburn vehicles. The Auburn only has 03,471 miles on the counter and is only used for shows and short fun drives.

This Auburn 876 Speedster Recreation is in neat and technically well-maintained condition, the car has good paint but has several signs of wear (see photos) which are visible up close. The car starts immediately, it brakes properly and shifts smoothly through its gears. The interior looks like new as can be seen in the photos. This Speedster has nice whitewall tyres with good tread.

When an Auburn is offered, it is often not licensed and it’s usually the 851 or 852 model, the larger 876 Speedster is rarely offered. This car is equipped with a 390CI V8 big block (6.4L) with 315 HP!

These 'licensed 876 Speedster' Auburns are almost never offered, so don't wait too long!
