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.
Wearing red paintwork, this 1974 Clenet Series 1 Roadster Replica is a sight to behold. Your eyes will tell you that the design is quintessentially 1930s, yet there are some modern cues if you look hard enough. For example, the whitewall tires that wrap around the wire-styled wheels are definitely wider than what 1930s cars would have rolled on. Perhaps the most significant indicator of modernity will be on display when the convertible roof is down because then we get a great look at the interior. Speaking of which, the tan leather-upholstered interior of this 1974 Clenet Series 1 Roadster Replica comes with two seats and a wood-trimmed dashboard as highlights. There’s a bevy of AutoMeter white-faced gauges that lend a classic look but are unmistakably modern since their white is a pure shade and not the yellow-hued one of yesteryear. You’ve also got a Vintage Air air conditioning system, a Grant GT steering wheel, and a modern stereo system with proper speakers behind the seats. You’ll also notice the automatic transmission selector from a B&M shifter.
This 1974 Clenet Series 1 Roadster Replica enjoys ample shove, thanks to its Ford 400ci V8 and 3-speed automatic transmission propelling the vehicle via rear-wheel drive. You’ve also got power-assisted steering and disc brakes for a distinctively modern driving experience. So you can enjoy vintage styling, tastefully blended with modern engineering and creature comforts. What’s even nicer is that you’ll own something rare.

Starting as a garage manufacturer, Clenet is one of those American names that few know about, but more ought to. This automaker produced neo-classical automobiles for the wealthy during the 1970s and 1980s. They modeled their designs after 1930s cars, but equipped them with modern (at the time) technology and drivetrains. Their first product was the Series 1, replaced by the Series 2 in 1979. Some research tells us that only 250 Series 1 examples were made, making this 1979 Clenet Series 1 Roadster a very rare car indeed. It’s currently up for sale in Aurora, Colorado, with less than 3,200 miles on the clock. So, if you want to own something American, classic, and rare, this car is a great choice to make, and its rarity means that it will keep on appreciating in value as long as you take care of it.

This 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tojan represents a pinnacle of the "Tuner Era," being a GM-commissioned, factory-authorized supercar built by Knudsen Automotive to challenge European exotics. This specific survivor is exceptionally significant due to its all-original, unrestored condition with only over 63,000 miles shown, and its provenance as a special-order vehicle delivered to Stadium Pontiac in Anaheim. Equipped with high-end performance features like a Gale Banks suspension, Gotti wheels, and Recaro leather, this chassis serves as a documented benchmark for the model, having been featured in Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine. It is a rare "investment grade" example of 1980s engineering, distinguishing itself from contemporary kit cars as a legitimate, limited-production performance icon.
