Not a replica — a factory-built continuation directly authorized by Bill Thomas Motors.
We at Exotic Car Trader are lucky to get our hands on some of America’s rarer automotive gems from time to time. Simply browsing our inventory can be like a sort of history lesson for those interested in cars. Today’s lesson is this 1964 BTM Cheetah Coupe – Clarence Dixon Tribute that’s currently up for sale The Villages, Florida. It’s an ultra-lightweight race car with official BTM-authorized continuation. A little background, the BTM Cheetah is the work of a Chevy performance tuner named Bill Thomas. Produced between 1963 to 1966, it was aimed at competing squarely with the AC Cobra, also known as the Shelby Cobra. Many Cheetahs were raced, and this car is a tribute built to honor the original Clarence Dixon race car. If you want to get your hands on something truly unique, hit us up ASAP.
This 1964 BTM Cheetah Coupe – Clarence Dixon Tribute looks like no other race car, with its squat stance, black paint job, and mere 1,700 pound weight. The car rides on a set of chunky race tires, and is underpinned by a full tube frame chassis with a 90-inch wheelbase. You’ll no doubt have noticed its extreme rearward positioning of the cab, almost over the rear wheels, granting it a sort of dragster stance. The wide body outlook with vented hood further accentuates this image. Yet, this race rocket comes with head and taillamps, which means you might be able to drive it on the road in some places. Lift up one of those stunning gullwing doors and you’ll be greeted by a very racy interior in this 1964 BTM Cheetah Coupe – Clarence Dixon Tribute. There are two low-back seats in black leather, a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a white gear shift knob. The gauges are all analog affairs and there’s precious little in terms of creature comforts on offer.
There’s a 427ci V8 in L88 spec, paired with a Muncie 4-speed gearbox with no driveline. A Corvette independent rear end with 4.11 gears and positraction runs the show. The engine also enjoys BTM 2.5-inch headers into 4-inch tubes for a characteristic V8 roar. It runs on 110 alcohol, so be aware of that. You’ve also got 4-wheel disc brakes, and coilovers for all corners.

In the late Sixties, Mercedes-Benz knew that it was time to replace their iconic W114 line-up of grand touring coupes. Development started on a successor, and by 1971, the R107 and C107 generation was released. It bore the name SL, and in the case of the R107, came with a removable hardtop plus a soft top. Meanwhile, the C107 was a fixed-head coupe. The R107 in particular would prove to be a massive success. In total, over 237,000 R107 variants were made between 1971 and 1989. Today, an R107 represents a sound and safe way to get into classic cars, as it’s built tough and can keep going on and on when properly maintained. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 184,122-mile 1972 Mercedes-Benz 450SL from Sandy, Utah for sale today. Its mileage is proof that not only is this a car that can eat up long distances, but it’s also one that encourages you to drive it more and more.
The first generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette sports car and grand tourer was revealed to the public in 1953. Called the C1, it ran until 1962, and sold just over 69,000 units. Today, finding a C1 is a little tough, but not impossible. You’ll find pristinely-kept, bone-stock examples, fixer-uppers, daily runners and restomods, like this Texas-based 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod. This car packs a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated LT1 from a later Corvette, as well as aftermarket Z06-style wheels and a 4L60E 4-speed autobox. These, plus many other refinements make this a classic Corvette that you can daily drive with comfort and confidence.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
