Description of 1968 Other Makes Roadster |
1968 Excalibur SSK Roadster The Excalibur was a neo classical styled automobile by Brooks Stevens after the 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK. The prototype premiered at the New York City Auto Show in 1964 and received a great reception, allowing Stevens to form the Excalibur Car Company to manufacture and market the cars. The standard Chevrolet 327ci 300hp Corvette tune made the Excalibur a strong performer. With the standard 3.31:1 rear axle, acceleration from 0-60 mph took less than six seconds, and the unrestricted top speed was 134 mph. Only a month after being introduced at the New York Auto Show the prototype was shown at the Road & Track Concours in Newport Beach then road tested by Road & Track, Car and Driver, Automotive Quarterly and multiple other publications of the time. For consignment, an Excalibur SSK roadster (Short for Super Sport Kurtz or "short" built for racing.) - a neo-classic brainchild of famed designer Brooks Stevens. Boutique, retro-style cars produced by the Milwaukee, Wis.-based company. Our example, 1 of 37 units believed to be built for the 1968 model year, came with not a shred of information so this description is fully flown by the seat of my pants. Exterior Interior Drivetrain Undercarriage Drive-Ability A retro classic offered up from a Corvette Collector who wanted to harken back to the days of his tenure at Studebaker, and make a new/ old appearing race car. Definitely a looker and a cooker, well maintained and ready to go and show. Take it away Charlie.
