AI Listing Summary
This is a 1935 Auburn 851SC Boat-Tail Speedster, a rare and flamboyant art-deco design by Gordon Miller Buehrig. It features a supercharged Lycoming straight-eight engine, a three-speed manual gearbox, and a Columbia dual-ratio back axle.

Condition
7
While described as extensively restored to "showcar" standards in the early 1990s and a CCCA 1st Prize Winner, the listing also notes the car was laid-up in a barn for many years. The odometer reading and recent oil change sticker suggest some use since restoration, but no current condition details are provided.
