VEHICLE HISTORY - Registry shows delivered new in France about April, 1961. Only
about 400 Facellia 2+2 coupes were made over three years, from March, 1960, to
February, 1963. About half of these, such as this car, came with the attractive
HK500-style headlights. The vehicle was made with the 100 c.i. dohc Facel engine,
Pont-a-Mousson 4-speed manual transmission, optional wheel trim, Brunswick dark
blue exterior, red interior. Information indicates that Max Hoffman, the NY Facel
dealer, sold the vehicle in about 1965 with about 6,500 miles. The current owner, a
Facel collector, purchased the car about ten years ago.
DESCRIPTION -Repainted in metallic dark blue, the red interior remains original. The
bumpers and headlights were removed for the repaint, and come with the vehicle.
The #3 piston of the original engine has been replaced. The engine cranks smoothly.
The original gauges and black crinkle dashboard are in excellent condition. The front
leather seat cushions could be reupholstered, the surface of the rear seats looks
good and could be dyed for a nice appearance. The vehicle odometer reads 23,758
miles, which is likely original. The vehicle was not built with the optional Facel radio;
a 60s-vintage Motorola AM radio was fitted early in the car's life. The car is a
preserved, authentic, original car.
OFFER - The car is available, ready to reupholster and get running to make a driver,
or to fully restore. The car is offered "as is," is located in New Jersey, USA, and can
be shown on appt. Contact: markontheweb@cox.net

SOLD: 1963 Facel-Vega Facel II, Chassis #HK2B116
Click on picture for more pictures*
An elegant and desirable example of Parisian coachbuilding art. The last of the line of exclusive V-8 powered
GT coupes that many consider the masterpiece of the marque. Less than 50 remain in the United States.
VEHICLE HISTORY - Registry shows one of only 182 coachbuilt from 1962 to 1964, equipped with a single carb
383 Chrysler Wedge V8 engine, Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission, "Facel blue" iridescent paint,
Connelly grey leather dye #3230 interior, factory Mitchell air conditioning, Borrani wire wheels, and was
delivered new to dealer Max Hoffman, USA, October 1962. Titled as a 1963 model. The 1962 manufacturer’s
suggested retail price was $12,160, placing this vehicle in the exclusive company of the Mercedes-Benz 300SL
roadster at $10,900, and the Ferrari 250 GT 2+2 at $12,600. The prior owner stated that Anthony Quinn, the late
American actor, was the original owner.
MECHANICAL CONDITION - Engine has been replaced with a rebuilt 1965 Plymouth Fury 383 with single carb.
Original cast-iron 3-speed automatic transmission has been replaced with newer rebuilt Chrysler aluminum 727
3-speed automatic. Cooling system rebuilt with new 3-pass custom-made radiator to correct original
dimensions, heavy duty water pump, heavy duty clutch w/18" fan. Upper fan shroud and under-bumper front
valence panel are included. Brakes rebuilt with new pads, stainless-sleeved calipers, rubber flex lines, new
dual circuit safety brake master cylinder with electric booster. Rebuilt power steering box and pump. Correct
Borrani wheels rebuilt with stainless steel spokes, new chrome centers, polished rims, at a cost of $3,200. New
front suspension variable-rate coil springs and high-pressure European front shock absorbers fitted. Factory
air conditioning needs servicing. The odometer reads 13,000 miles, but is not functioning, actual mileage
undetermined.
BODY CONDITION - Amateur red paint applied about 8 years ago. Vehicle needs professional body work and
repaint. Rear bumper has center dents. Upholstery redone in vinyl about 1970. Interior needs retrim. Correct,
original Nardi wood and polished aluminum steering wheel has some delamination, but still looks nice.
Equipped with pull-out AM/FM/CD radio with power antenna. The door interior panels have been disassembled,
but are complete.
MARQUE HISTORY - The first Facel-Vega production cars appeared in 1955 and instantly won acclaim from
critics around the world. The secret to the success of Facel-Vega was its unique blend of elegant design and
European build-quality. The Facel-Vega was regarded as a car that competed with the finest European and US
automobiles.
Just over 3,000 cars of all models were hand-built in the short life of Facel. The models were stylish and
luxurious. They were also very expensive and were bought by the rich and famous seeking something different
and distinctive.
The exclusive styling and prestigious aura appealed to royalty and other notables. The star-studded list of
owners is a miniature Who's Who of royalty and diplomats: the Shah of Iran, the King of Morocco, Prince Saoud
of Arabia, Prince Charles of Belgium, the President of Mexico, the US ambassador to Brussels, the French
ambassador to Norway, etc. Hollywood royalty and industry luminaries embraced the marque as well: Debbie
Reynolds, Danny Kaye, Joan Collins, Tony Curtis, Gardner McKay, Henry J. Kaiser, Joan Fontaine, Anthony
Quinn, Ringo Starr, and three-time owner Ava Gardener. Great racing drivers of the time such as Rob Walker,
Maurice Trintignant, and Stirling Moss used Facels to cover the distances between the race tracks of Europe at
high speed in comfort and safety.
Designed by it’s builder, Jean Daninos, the bodylines of this classic are unmistakable, and not unlike those
created by Daninos’ close friend Pinin Farina. The body construction of this Facel Vega is unparalleled by any
sports car of yesterday or today.
OFFER - Titled and located in So. Cal., USA. This is a rare opportunity to acquire the aura of prestige and
elegance of a an extraordinary Facel-Vega automobile.
