A Sixties Bentley is one of the best ways to experience mid-century British luxury, at the time when automakers were discovering and embracing some of the technologies that are commonplace even in 2026. One of Bentley’s signature offerings of the Sixties was the S3. Produced between 1962 and 1965 as the successor to the S2, the S3 merely improved upon the S2 rather than being a comprehensive evolution. Now, you can experience what an S3 is like with this 1965 Bentley S3 from Temecula, California. Packing just under 53,000 miles on the odometer, this Big Bentley comes with a 6.2-liter V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, and a regal two-tone paint job.

Bentley is well known as one of the two top-level luxury car makers from Britain. Bentley has always maintained a slight bent towards driving pleasure, making cars that are equally suitable to self-drive as they are to be driven in. Between 1962 and 1965, the S3 was the automaker’s large luxury saloon offering. Building on the previous S2, the S3 saw a few notable changes, such as the rear seat being moved backwards by two inches for more legroom, quad headlamps, and a higher compression ratio for the engine, resulting in increased power and improved performance. Today, we’ve got a lovely 1963 Bentley S3 Saloon for sale to anyone who recognizes the value of this iconic Sixties classic. The car hails from Virginia, and has received a new engine with less than 25,000 miles on it.

Few classic American muscle cars carry the kind of provenance and personal history found with this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro X11 “Z/28 Tribute.” Finished in iconic Hugger Orange with black striping, this documented one-owner Camaro has remained within the same family since new and is accompanied by its original bill of sale, protect-o-plate, title documentation, and dealership paperwork — the kind of provenance that significantly elevates collectability and long-term value in today’s classic car market. Showing approximately 68,353 miles, this Camaro was originally factory-built as an X11-equipped 350 automatic before being transformed over the years into a properly sorted 4-speed Z/28 tribute built around the owner’s lifelong passion for the car. According to the owner, the Camaro has been part of the family since his mother purchased it new for his father in 1969, later becoming the car he learned to drive in, attended high school with, and even used during award-winning car show appearances. Preserved in climate-controlled storage and meticulously cared for throughout its life, this Camaro represents far more than just a classic muscle car — it’s a deeply documented piece of American automotive history with an authenticity and ownership story that simply cannot be replicated.
