Russo and Steele Scottsdale 2013 – Auction Preview (Russo and Steele does not provide estimates)

1963 Pontiac Catalina Super Duty Coupe
1963 Pontiac Catalina Super Duty Coupe – One of the 14 original “Swiss Cheese” lightweights built by Pontiac and one of the 12 originally finished in Frost Silver. After being tested by Pontiac stalwart Arnie ‘The Farmer’ Beswick, whom already had received his own car, this particular “Swiss Cheese” Catalina was instead delivered new to Wilmington, Delaware’s Union Park Pontiac.
1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda
1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda – 4-speed, original, unmodified and unrestored example with just 49,380 miles and three owners from new.
1973 BMW 3.0 CSL Batmobile
1973 BMW 3.0 CSL – This Series One Batmobile was one of the last 14 built.
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko
1969 Yenko Chevrolet Camaro – Non-original engine; fully restored.
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 – As offered, KK 1431 is a rotisserie-restored, matching numbers car retaining the factory-original S engine, all of its ‘Boss 9’ components, and the original body tag affixed to the radiator support. Everything works correctly and the car shows only 51,140 actual miles. Accompanied by restoration photos, the owner’s manual and miscellaneous Boss 429 marketing and advertising literature, it’s documented with the original build sheet, copies of Kar Kraft and Ford invoices and a list of all owners to verify its authenticity and history.
