#TheSimeone 1966 Ford GT40 MKII.
Our car ran at Le Mans in 1966, the only race in its competition history. Driven by Sir John Whitmore and Frank Gardner, it retired after five hours apparently because of clutch problems.
#TheSimeone 1938 Jaguar 3.5 Litre SS 100.

#TheSimeone 1927 Bentley 3 Litre Speed Model
Our unrestored 1927 Bentley 3 Litre Speed Model is likely the only vintage Bentley to race in America pre-WWII. Driven by Alan Bemis with ARCA, it remains nearly all originalโa rare example of the same model that helped Bentley win Le Mans in 1927.

Our unrestored 1967 Ford GT MK IV hit 224 mph at Le Mans before retiring. With a 427 engine and honeycomb chassis, it's a true icon of Fordโs all-American racing push. Raced once, preserved foreverโnow on display at #TheSimeone in as-raced condition.
#TheSimeone 1929 Stutz Model M Supercharged Le Mans
Our 1929 Stutz Supercharged raced at #LeMans24 in 1929 and led for many hours before retiring. It is the only example of this model left. Dr. Simeone tells the story --> bit.ly/3AP77kD
#TheSimeone 1909 American Underslung Traveler.
The American Car Company was the first to focus on sports car production. This car, which is one of the earliest in our collection, features a 571 cubic-inch engine and 40-inch wheels.

#TheSimeone 1950 Allard J2.
We do not know the early racing history of this car but we do have evidence that it raced at Watkins Glen in 1951-1952. It is powered by its original 331 Cadillac engine, giving it both incredible acceleration and erratic handling, producing a top speed of 122 MPH.

#TheSimeone 1935 Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster.
Auburn, Cord, and Duesenberg built stylish, performance-focused cars in the 1930s, eyeing an untapped market. Dr. Simeoneโs father acquired this one in the mid-1960s; it remains in our collection, with fewer than 18,000 miles.
#TheSimeone 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS. It is in unrestored, original condition and one of only three ever built with this body style.
It was an active participant in the pre-war ARCA races and is probably the only 1750 Alfa Romeo ever engaged in genuine sports car competition in the United States.
#TheSimeone 1931 Bentley 4.5 Litre Supercharged Tourer.
The addition of a supercharger, seen on the from of this car, added even greater power to the already strong 4.5 model. Its racing record was spotty, but a lightened version of this chassis was the fastest of all the great vintage Bentleys.
#TheSimeone 1958 Aston Martin DBR1. This car won the 1958 Nurburgring 1000km race and raced at Le Mans 4 times.
It was piloted by legendary drivers including Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Jack Brabham, and Carroll Shelby.
Come see it in action at our "Tourist Trophy" #DemoDay this Saturday!
