Details

This Aston Martin DB5 is finished in California Sage with five Borrani wheels and a beige interior. The original DB5 owner's manual, service records, jack, tool roll and a copy of the Build Sheet accompany the car. This DB5 was delivered on December 7, 1965. Since 1988, it has been owned and cared for by the seller, an Aston Martin enthusiast and AMOC member. It features its original rebuilt matching-numbers 4-liter, 282hp engine mated to a ZF 5-speed manual transmission and has factory air conditioning. Regardless of cost, over the last 29 years, it has been maintained, serviced and received both mechanical and cosmetic restoration work by known Aston Martin independent specialists. Both the interior and trunk were completely redone. Most recently, in 2017, it was the subject of a new cosmetic bare-metal paint job, including a new grille, new windshield, door glass, all rubber and new glass headlight covers. Over the course of nearly three decades, this DB5 has been shown at many AMOC, classic car and Concours d'Elegance events from coast to coast. First shown in 1989 at the AMOC Monterey Festival, other concours shows include Cincinnati, Adult Park, Texas, Lime Rock, and Santa Fe. Other notable events include the MS Dixie Challenge in Atlanta, GA, Chicago Historic Races, Pittsburg Grand Prix and the 1997 Great NW Tour, which ended in Monterey.
