The New York dealership has classic cars for all budgets

Whether you’re in the market for a classic motor to add to your collection, or you want to copy what this New Zealand homeowner did and put some on proud display in your living room – Gullwing Motor Cars will have something for you. 

The company is ‘one of the largest dealers of European and American classic and exotic cars on the East Coast of the USA’, according to its site – and offers competitive prices and almost daily updates to its inventory. 

While you may assume that classic cars come with an obligatory hefty price tag, Gullwing Motor Cars executive sales director Anthony Stella says this isn’t always the case. 

“It’s almost comical, it can be a $5,000 engine-out Austin-Healey or a $1.8 million Gullwing,” he told Robb Report. 

The dealership does ‘no prep’ before selling the cars on

The warehouse – which is actually one of five owned by Gullwing – is crammed full of classic motors, including a 1963 Maserati Sebring 3500GTi; an unrestored Porsche 911 that has a ‘camo’ paint job; a Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux, that’s seen better days; and a Ferrari 308 that came from a barn find in California. 

Stella notes that late-model Ferraris are particularly popular with buyers at the moment 

Unlike some dealerships, Gullwing doesn’t spend too much time or effort on sprucing the cars up before sale – allowing the customer to see them as they are. 

“Each car sells itself – you see the pictures. Here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly,” Stella added.

“We almost pride ourselves on doing no prep. There’s an honesty to it.”

It also means that those who have the capabilities to restore motors can pick up a real bargain.

For example, the Type 57 has a price tag of $367,500 but could be worth a helluva lot more if someone was able to restore it to its former glory. 

“There’s value in everything,” Stella told the publication. “Someone of every means can find their dream car here.”
