They say that variety is the spice of life, something that certainly holds true at a car auction. Everything from classic trucks to modern supercars can all hit the same block on the same day, making for many memorable auctions.
The Dan Kruse Classics sale on 4 May 2019 has a wide range of vehicles looking for a new home. Here’s our top lots soon to go under the hammer.
A hardy truck is a great asset to have, especially when you need a vehicle you can really depend on. While most of America goes for a Ford F150, the classic Nissan 720 has a proven record of reliability over the decades.
This example with its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine comes with a five-speed transmission and plenty of paperwork.
Looking for a classy cruiser ready for the summer? This handsome Mercedes-Benz 280SL might be for you. Enjoy some alfresco motoring with the roof down while the automatic transmission and 2.8-litre motor does all the hard work.
We have to say, this car appears in excellent condition.
These old Japanese trucks have a reputation for being indestructible, and this 44 year-old 4x4 has certainly stood the test of time. Appearing to be in restored condition, the 4.2-liter model comes complete with a removable hard top, allowing for classic all-terrain fun whatever the weather.
This Pontiac is true American royalty and something the famed John DeLorean was involved with during his time at GM. The red example you see before you doesn’t have many details attached to it, but we do know that is possesses a 389 Ci V8 engine under the hood.
Here’s a classic that has received plenty of love and care. This Plymouth Belvedere looks immaculate with the interior in particular being in excellent condition. Drop the power top to enjoy the sunshine and the sound of its 318 Ci V8 engine.
Looking for a truck that packs a real punch? Look no further than this modified Chevrolet 454 SS. Not only does it have a 454 Ci V8 engine under the hood, but it has been improved with a fast fuel injection program, cold air induction kit, new headers, adjustable suspension, custom fuel tank, and a reinforced 9-inch rear end.
This custom Mercedes-Benz SL will likely split opinion. Its exaggerated bodywork certainly makes the convertible car more distinctive, and its 5.5-liter V8 motor backs up its aggressive appearance with strong performance. Passengers are treated to a Harman Kardon sound system, and a smoother ride thanks to Active Body Control.
The star of the auction is undoubtably this Dodge Demon. The muscle car of the moment, its 6.2-litre supercharged engine kicks out 840hp and enough torque to lift the front wheels clean off the ground.
It’s a sought after machine and this example has just 115 miles logged so far, making it practically new.
