This Auburn features a nice older restoration that remains in nice condition. The car came from California to the Fort Wayne, Indiana area around 1967 when purchased by a longtime Duesenberg owner/restorer in primarily original condition and was a very solid running car when acquired. It was sold around 1970, still in original condition, to a friend and fellow collector who completed this restoration, which was executed in the 1971-72 period and won First Place in the Primary Division of open Auburns and the Popular Appeal Award at the prestigious 1972 Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg meet. It is finished in red with a tan leather interior and black canvas top.The engine is a 280-cid, 150-hp inline eight-cylinder that is mated to a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The car is built on a 127-inch wheelbase and has the desirable supercharger. This supercharger unit is currently non-operational as the driveshaft has been removed; but this component and (it is believed) the balance of the internal workings accompany the otherwise fully-functioning Auburn automobile. The car has its original engine and chassis and is, of course, welcomed by the A-C-D Club and is a Full Classic with the esteemed CCCA.
