Where this car is coming from???

Hey Michael

The VIN #CCC80S2023 indicates that it is an Auburn 876 Speedster produced by California Custom Coach. Their cars were available as turn key or as component cars.

I have tried to document the history of the Auburn Speedster Replicar industry on my website. You may find some helpful information there. www.auburnspeedsters.com

Watch ebay. it is a very good indicator of what these cars seem to be selling for.

Good Luck with your purchase.

I ASSUME FROM THE CCC IN SERIAL # IT IS A CALIFORNIA CUSTOM COACH BUILT CAR, PROBABLY FACTORY BUILT, THEY DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB ON THERE CARS, AS FAR AS WHAT TO LOOK FOR, IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS ANY 20 TO 30 YEAR OLD CAR, A/C , TOP AND SIDE CURTAINS AFFECT VALUE, AS WOULD GENERAL CONDITION OF PAINT. CHROME ETC.

My guess for the replica manufacturer is California Custom Coach.

Welcome to the ACD Club Forums.

From what I have seen on eBay, the used replicas go for $30,000-$40,000 depending on condition.

Real Speedsters only have the pipes on the drivers side. So it is easy to spot the replicas which have pipes on both sides which indicate a V8 engine. The reals ones used a straight 8, hence the pipes only on one side.

Replicas sit about 3" lower than real ones. I like them lower, but the low stance is a sure give away. The factory did not want to make a new chassis specifically for the Speedster so a sedan chassis was used.

There are a number of manuafacturers who made replicas, some better than others. There should be a manufacturer's ID tag on the automobile somewhere.

Good luck!

Hi!

I have found an 1936 Auburn Speedster Boattail for sale.
This is a replica I am quite sure as it has:
- Fiberglass body (at least part of it)
- Valve cover is from Edlebrook
- V8 engine quite recent...

The VIN # says: CCC80S2023.
Title says original title date: 02/28/1989

I am new in this domain!

Who is the manufacturer of this car?
What is the value of such a car, knowing that it is supposed to be running and quite good overall condition,

Thanks,

Michel
