The 2,100-pound Excalibur Roadster brings awesome American power and sound to the elegant lines Brooks Stevens interpreted from the original Mercedes Benz SSK. Of the 359 Excalibur models produced through 1969 (Roadster and Phaeton styles combined) only 90 were hand-produced in 1966. Only 20 or so were Roadsters with the entry doors, larger fenders, and protective running boards making them extremely rare and desirable to prominent collectors today!

History of Excalibur Vehicles: The original Excalibur was the brainchild of Studebaker's Brooks Stevens, who took inspiration from the famous Mercedes-Benz SSK and decided to make a more modern interpretation. Originally designed in 1964 over a Studebaker chassis with their 289ci V8, Studebaker's unfortunate demise forced the project in a different direction and connections ultimately landed the car with Corvette power. Considering the car's 2100 pounds and optional 350 horsepower V8 mated to a 4-speed manual, the car was sensationally quick, able to get to 60 mph in just over five seconds, and with a top speed of 160mph! Prices started at $7500, which all but eliminated the average man from buying a new one. Their neo-classical style and strong performance have endured as one of the most stylish performance cars of the 1960s, offering a very unique opportunity for collectors to own a special antique automobile!
