Two unique antique automobiles, a 1930 Ford Model A and a Mercedes-Benz Gazelle Kit Car, are set to be auctioned without reserve through Compass Auctions. The estate vehicles, both carrying significant collector appeal, will be sold as-is with estate documentation.
The 1930 Ford Model A, an icon of early American automotive engineering, remains a prized piece among vintage car enthusiasts. Registered under VIN A3727794, the black, manually shifted coupe represents Ford’s first true successor to the Model T. Though currently non-operational, the odometer reading of just 1,837 miles suggests the vehicle may have been stored for much of its life. Its bill of sale and estate paperwork add to its provenance, making it an enticing project for restorers or collectors seeking authenticity.
Joining the auction lineup is a Mercedes-Benz Gazelle Kit Car, a stylish replica of the classic pre-war roadsters. Featuring an automatic transmission and finished in beige, this kit car is designed to evoke the timeless elegance of 1920s and 1930s European motoring. While its exact mileage is unknown, the vehicle reportedly turns over but does not currently start, making it another potential restoration opportunity. Sold under VIN R536BG0186, the Gazelle Kit Car offers bidders a chance to own a piece of vintage-inspired automotive craftsmanship at an accessible price point.
