Description

“The Indy 500 has something magical. It’s not just a race; it’s a celebration of speed and the human spirit.” – Dan Wheldon

Leave the clock behind and dive back into the glory days of American motoring with our unique Gilmore Special. This isn’t just a tribute to the legends of yesteryear; it’s an ode to the power of gasoline and unbridled passion. Hand-built in the style of the legendary Indianapolis race cars, our Gilmore Special exudes pure adrenaline — a reverberation of America’s racing past. It feels as if you’re flying on the mighty wings of a bald eagle.

Every detail breathes the spirit of bygone racing epics. A true one-of-a-kind on the road, yet also a perfect companion for touring, rallies, and even circuit events. And yes — you can even participate in pre-war events, such as those organized by the Vintage Dutch Sports Car Club! Those “tough guys” with their Austin Healeys and Alfas better keep their sunglasses and caps firmly in place when you roll by in this Gilmore Special.

With a 1932 chassis, a 1929 Chevrolet front end, and powered by a 1957 Chevrolet 235ci inline-six engine paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission, this car is a true work of American pride. The first thing you notice when you see it? The scents of rubber, gasoline, sunscreen, and hot dogs.

This extraordinary vehicle traveled from the American roads to a museum in St. Louis before finding its way into the collection of a Belgian enthusiast. Now, we offer you the chance to become part of its story. Step in, feel the power of the past, and be captivated by the unique charm of the Gilmore Special. Opportunities like this come only once — seize it and become the proud owner of a piece of American racing history.

“Winning the Indy 500 is like winning the lottery. It’s a life-changing moment you never forget.” – Bobby Rahal
