Clenet Coachworks Inc was a small outfit in California, that focused on creating neo-classical automobiles. The company was formed in 1975, and prided themselves on making 1930s-inspired cars with then-current (1970s-era) mechanicals. These aren’t exactly mass-produced automobiles, rather being an expensive, bespoke product. It wasn’t uncommon for a Clenet to command in excess of $100,000 when new. This meant that many celebrities were said to own Clenets at some point. So, if you’d like to feel like a celebrity, we’ve got a 1979 Clenet Series ii for sale right now. If it piques your interest, give us a call pronto.
Sporting a brown theme, this 1979 Clenet Series II is clearly visible as a car that builds heavily on 1930s design cues. The podded headlamps, external running boards, and prominent radiator grille with mascot are all instantly recognizable as from that era. The car’s flowing lines, externally-mounted spare wheel, and whitewall tires all contribute towards this overall vintage appearance, but you can also tell that the car has modern origins. A peek at the interior is the most common tell-tale sign, as is a peak underneath. This car also has a set of air horns because, hey, why not. The four-seat interior of this 1979 Clenet Series II is where things get decidedly modern – well, seventies modern. The car come with leather-upholstered seats of a clearly seventies design, and seat belts, too. Then, you’ll find crystal glass ash trays, air conditioning, and a newer, CD-capable radio head unit. The car is also said to come with power windows, power door locks, and power-adjustable front seats. Meanwhile, the upright-styled wooden dash hosts plenty of VDO gauges, while the car’s wood-rimmed steering wheel grants a hint of sportiness to this otherwise restrained interior.
This 1979 Clenet Series II uses a 351ci V8, paired with an automatic gearbox and driving the rear wheels. Research tells us that the engine is a Ford unit, and we see an Edelbrock air cleaner cover as well. So, with proven mechanicals backing up this vintage-styled car, it’s a great curio to add to your collection.

What do you get when you mix modern technology with old retro styling? None other than the Neoclassic automobile manufacturer Clenet Coachworks. Founded in 1975 and with each limited-production model built by a small team in California, the Clenet cars were designed off high-end automobiles of the 1930s. Clenet cars are highly sought after as less than 520 official factory cars were built from all its ranges. Their first car was the Clenet Series I subsequently moving through Series II, Series III, and Series IV. The Series II was produced from 1979 through 1987, had a heavier look to it and only 187 were produced. Up for grabs is a truly rare find in this 1980 Clenet Series II Cabriolet with reportedly just 28,410 miles on the car.
Dabbling in classic cars is lovely, but what if you want something different? Why not look to America’s host of smaller manufacturers and coachbuilders for inspiration? Clenet Coachworks is a great place to start, as this company made 1930s-inspired cars in the 1970s and 1980s. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, there’s not a lot of information about them on the Interwebs. In fact, the company does exist to a degree, as its current owner, Sir Alfred J. DiMora, operates a company called DiMora Motorcar. Why not pay homage to this quirky automaker and buy this 1974 Clenet Series 1 Roadster Replica? With a reportedly original 422 miles on the clock, this car comes with up-to-date servicing and a great V8 under all that vintage-look bodywork.
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
Imperial is a brand that many people today won’t remember, or know about at all. So let us give you a quick history lesson. In 1926, Chrysler Corporation started using the Imperial tag to denote the top-tier trim level of their finest automobiles. This remained the status quo until 1955, when Imperial was spun off as a separate brand under the Chrysler Corporation. It represented the brand’s luxury offerings, and gave us cars like this 1966 Imperial Crown Classic. This car is a second-generation example with 51,000 miles on the clock and it currently resides in Naples, Florida. Why not buy it as a tasteful classic car as well as a smart future investment?
A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
