1976 Excalibur Series III Convertible - Brown & Cream - 27,050km - 7.4L V8, 5 Barrel Carburettor, 3-Speed Automatic
Overview
The Excalibur Series III represents a unique chapter in automotive history, a neo-classic roadster that captured the romance of 1920s-30s styling while delivering modern American V8 performance. Built by Excalibur Automobile Corporation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 1976 example is a genuine piece of specialist coachbuilding craftsmanship. The Series III, produced from 1975 to 1979, refined the original concept with improved engineering and refined detailing. This particular vehicle, finished in the classic two-tone of brown and cream, presents as a well-preserved example of this rare marque, with just 27,050 kilometres recorded on the odometer.
The exterior presents with honest patina befitting a 50-year-old classic. The brown and cream paint scheme holds good colour saturation across visible panels, with minor stone chipping evident on the bonnet leading edge consistent with road use. The convertible top fabric shows light wear and age-appropriate fading, characteristic of a vehicle that has been enjoyed rather than locked away. Chrome trim displays light patina consistent with the vehicle's age and storage history. Panel gaps are even and body lines remain straight, with no evidence of accident repair or structural disturbance. The distinctive Excalibur grille and front-end styling are intact and present well. Wheels are fitted with period-appropriate whitewall tyres, and the overall stance reflects the classic roadster proportions that define this model.
The interior, visible in multiple photos, features tan vinyl upholstery with vertical pleating detail characteristic of the era. Seats show light wear consistent with 27,050 kilometres of use, with no major tears or structural damage. The dashboard is finished in tan with period-correct instrumentation including a Stewart Warner speedometer. The steering wheel is a classic leather-rimmed design. Door panels show minor scuffing to the trim but remain sound. The convertible top mechanism is present and the hood appears to operate correctly. The overall interior presentation is honest and appropriate for a classic of this age and mileage.
Mechanically, this Series III is powered by a 7.4-litre V8 engine (engine number 381959P visible on the block), producing substantial power in a lightweight roadster chassis. The engine bay shows the characteristic three-barrel intake manifold configuration and presents cleanly with no evidence of major leaks or neglect. A 3-speed automatic transmission provides direct driver engagement, with a round leather-booted gear knob visible in the cabin. The mechanical specification is straightforward and robust, typical of American V8 engineering of the era. The rarity of the marque, combined with honest condition and documented ownership history, positions this as an attractive entry point into specialist classic car collecting.
