Coming Soon to eBay Motors












We will be listing this beautiful 1972 DeTomaso Pantera in the next week on eBay. This is a 12,000 mile original with a 351 engine.


The name Pantera is Panther in Italian. This beautiful car was designed by US-based designer Tom Tjaarda and replaced the De Tomaso Mangusta. Unlike the Mangusta, which employed a steel backbone chassis, the Pantera was a steel monocoque design, the first instance of De Tomaso using this construction technique. It made its public debut in Modena in March 1970 and was presented at the 1970 New York Motor Show a few weeks later. Approximately a year after that production Panteras started finding their way into the hands of customers and production had already been ramped up to a remarkable (by the standards of Modena built exotica) 3 per day.


Check back next week to see how it does at auction.

Another Rolex Wall Clock - RARE
























We sold a one only known to exist Rolex wall clock two years ago. We received a call from a gentleman in Ohio that saw our website and has a different Rolex wall clock we will be consigning and selling on eBay. This is probably as rare as the first one we sold, as we have never heard of another.

A brief history of Rolex and Pan Am helps explain the clock. Pan Am’s founder, Juan Trippe, theorized that if pilots had a watch that would help them keep track of the time in their current time zone as well as their home time zone, the effects of jet lag would be milder. The original Rolex GMT master watch was developed by Rolex and Pan Am exclusively for Pam Am pilots, first officers, and navigators in 1958.

Obviously, a wonderful relationship developed between Rolex and the airline known as America’s Imperial Airline. This phenomenal piece is truly a one-of-a-kind. The clock as you would guess, keeps impeccable time.

Lola Cars International Ltd. is a racing car engineering company founded in 1958 by Eric Broadley and based in Huntingdon, England. Lola Cars started by building small front-engined sports cars, and branched out into Formula Junior cars before diversifying into one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of racing cars in the world.

The history on the car is that it was sold to Indy Regency in May of 1994 as a champ car. It became a Buz Calkins spare car for IRL from 1996 to 1999. It was then converted to Buick for AIS (American Indy Car Series) in 2000 or 2001. It is a significant piece of racing history.
