US Title
- One of the first U.S. cars to feature a lightweight, fiberglass bodyshell, quite an advancement in its day; designed to take on imported sports cars such as the Triumph TR2
- Believed to be number 288 of just 435 production Kaiser-Darrin Roadsters built
- Intriguing post-war design with doors that slide into the front fenders, plus a disappearing convertible soft top
- Originally dispatched in Champagne, now attractively finished in green with white leather bucket seats, matching leather interior trim, and wire wheel-covers
- 161-ci Willys “Hurricane” inline, six-cylinder engine, mated to a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive
- Accompanied by side curtains, spare wheel cover, and a copy of the 1963 title
- A fascinating and highly collectible piece of American sports car heritage
