European Elegance Meets American Muscle at Lucky Collector Car Auction Spring Classic 2025
A trio of rare, transcontinental classics will cross the block at the Lucky Collector Car Auction's Spring Classic 2025, showcasing the golden era of European design married to American muscle. These historically significant vehicles—a , a , and a —are each offered without reserve, promising an exciting opportunity for collectors.
A quintessential example of 1970s grand touring opulence, this combines Italian bodywork, British chassis engineering, and American power. It's powered by a Chrysler 440cid V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The 90,000-mile example was held in a museum collection since 1993 and features metallic brown paint with a matching convertible top. Modernized Recaro seats and a light leather interior add comfort, while a wood-rimmed steering wheel nods to classic style. Among all Interceptor variants, the convertible remains the most sought-after.
One of only approximately in 1953, this numbers-matching Nash-Healey represents a pioneering transatlantic collaboration. Fitted with the original 252cid 'Dual Jetfire' inline-six engine and 3-speed manual with overdrive, it's a blend of British engineering, Italian craftsmanship, and American drivetrain components. Finished in white over red with a beige soft top, this particular Roadster sits on chassis #2363 and retains engine block NHA1378, which is scheduled for a rebuild. With just 506 Nash-Healeys produced in total, this early Le Mans contender and Hollywood favorite is an extremely rare and valuable collectible.
A limited-production luxury coupe—one of just 90 FV3Bs built—this 1958 Facel Vega FV3B was originally ordered in France and retains its factory color combination of Grey over Red leather. While it originally came with a Chrysler Hemi and a rare Pont-à-Mousson manual gearbox, it now runs a 1970 340ci Chrysler V8 mated to a 3-speed automatic. With only six miles traveled in the past 14 years, this coupe exudes European elegance with American muscle under the hood, and represents a perfect candidate for continued preservation or return to period-correct configuration.
These three offerings headline a diverse lineup at the Lucky Collector Car Auction's Spring Classic, celebrating unique transcontinental partnerships that helped shape the post-war automotive landscape.
These interesting classics and many others are being sold at the Spring Classic 2025 Auto Auction taking place Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, Jun 1 at the LeMay Marymount Event Center.

Elon Musk's Tesla launches bid to supply electricity to British households
Elon Musk's electric vehicle manufacturer and energy company Tesla is preparing to supply electricity to British households and businesses. The Texas-based company formally submitted its request for an electricity license to the British energy regulator Ofgem at the end of last month, according to a notice on the watchdog's website. If approved, the move could pave the way for Tesla to compete with the big firms that dominate the U.K. energy market from as soon as next year. The application, first reported by the Sunday Telegraph, came from Tesla Energy Ventures and was signed by Andrew Payne, who runs the firm's European energy operations. Tesla, which is best known as one of the world's leading EV manufacturers, also develops solar energy generation systems and battery energy storage products. Musk's company already has an electricity supplier in Texas, called Tesla Electric. The service, which was launched in 2022, allows customers to optimize energy consumption and pays them for selling excess energy back to the grid. Tesla's push for a license to supply electricity to British households comes as the company endures a protracted European sales slump. Data published last week by the U.K.'s Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) showed Tesla's new car sales dropped by nearly 60% to 987 units last month, down from 2,462 a year ago. In Germany, meanwhile, Tesla car sales fell to 1,110 units in July, down 55.1% from the same month in 2024. The latest sales figures underscored some of the challenges facing the company, which continues to face stiff competition, particularly from Chinese EV manufacturers, and reputational damage from Musk's incendiary rhetoric and relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

Elon Musk's Tesla applies to supply energy to British households
Elon Musk's Tesla is plotting to enter the British energy market and supply households in the coming months. The company has sought approval for an energy licence from regulator Ofgem in order to take on energy supply giants including British Gas owner Centrica and Octopus Energy. It hopes to start supplying energy to homes and businesses in England, Scotland and Wales as soon as next year. Tesla Energy Ventures applied for the licence last month, according to a new filing published by Ofgem. The application was signed by Andrew Payne, director of the group's energy business in Europe. The electric car manufacturer, run by the world's richest man, also has a solar energy and battery storage business. It comes around two years after Tesla first started hiring for a head of operations to run its proposed energy supply business. Tesla has been involved in the UK energy market since 2020, when it was granted a licence to be an electricity generator. In the US, the group has been an electricity supplier in Texas for the past three years. It comes amid a backdrop of waning demand for Tesla's electric vehicles across Europe in recent months. Industry figures showed an almost 60% plunge in the number of new Tesla registrations in the UK in July, compared with a year earlier. Data showed that 987 new vehicles were registered in the UK in July compared with 2,462 in the same month a year earlier.

What Makes A HEMI Different From A Max Wedge?
Let's pretend it's May 1962 and you're a diehard Chrysler loyalist who loves drag racing. You could search for a used 392 Hemi, but good luck keeping the bottom end from grenading after slapping on an 8-71 blower and running nitromethane. Unfortunately, the 417 Donovan block with its 72-stud main bearing girdle is nine years away from debuting, so that's not going to help. However, you could plunk down a stack of cash on a new "Maximum Performance" wedge-headed 413-cubic-inch beast, called Max Wedge for short. You heard that Chrysler's 413 pushed the 300F GT to a top speed of almost 145 mph on Daytona Beach in 1960, and now the engine's being prepped for quarter-mile runs. The 413 Max Wedge was a real monster, making up to 420 hp, more than one horsepower per cubic inch. In 1963, the Max Wedge grew to 426 cubic inches, offering up to 425 street-unfriendly horsepower, but it wasn't to be the top Mopar offering for long. In 1964, the Hemi came back. Boy, Chrysler just can't quit the hemispherical combustion chamber. It always weighs the Hemi's pros and cons, and ends up deciding that the power is worth the downsides. In a Hemi, the combustion chambers are, as the name implies, roughly half-spheres, which allows for massive valves, efficient combustion, and excellent airflow. In a Max Wedge, the valves are right next to each other, and run single file in line with the cylinder banks. While this makes for a lighter, cheaper valve train and smaller overall dimensions, it limits the size of the valves and horsepower potential. Still, a 413 Max Wedge-powered Plymouth Savoy nicknamed the Melrose Missile was the first factory stock car to run in the 11s through the quarter. Read more: These V6 Engines Put The LS1 V8 To Shame Do You Want Complexity? This Is How You Get It Before exploring the minutiae of Chrysler's nomenclature and the specifics of the Max Wedge and Hemi engines in the early '60s, let's further examine technical differences. Inspect this picture, noting the variation in piston and valve train design. The top half shows Hemi components, including the splayed-out rocker arms necessary for actuating valves set at dramatic angles. The pushrods come up between the rocker shafts, and both intake and exhaust valves each get their own shaft. Also notice the domed piston, which gives a good idea as to where the valves sit in the head. The bottom half of the picture shows the far simpler wedge-head valve train. Rockers operate on a single rocker shaft and pushrods are more or less parallel. The piston is, for all intents and purposes, flat. As for branding, in 1962, at Dodge, the engine was called the Ramcharger 413, and at Plymouth, it was the Super Stock 413. Base compression was 11:1 and good for 410 hp, but an optional head-cracking 13.5:1 compression version made 420 hp. While some modern engines need today's premium gas, a high-compression Max Wedge requires 104-octane Sunoco. Both engines featured the coolest-looking "crossram" intake with dual four-barrel carbs, forged internals, a high-lift cam, and a baffled oil pan. In 1963, displacement increased to create the Ramcharger 426 and Super Stock 426. Horsepower bumped up to 415 for 11:1 engines and 425 for 13.5:1 engines. In May 1963, Chrysler made slight improvements and dubbed the engines "Ramcharger 426A" and "426 Super Stock II." After some further refinement in 1964, the engines became the "426 Super Stock III" and the "Ramcharger 426 III." These numbers are where the "Stage II" and Stage III" nicknames come from. The Max Wedge Is No Longer The Max. Here Comes The Hemi Unfortunately for the Max Wedge, 1964 was the year that Chrysler brought back the Hemi. The "Race Hemi" displaced 426 cubic inches and had 12.5:1 compression. It even gained aluminum heads in 1965. Thanks to its success, the "Street Hemi" was born. Though it had a lower compression ratio of 10.25:1, a milder cam, and cast-iron heads only, it still had 425 hp and crushing performance. Meanwhile, the wedge head didn't die, it just became second banana. Chrysler punched it out to 440 cubic inches and used it in everything from the comfy Chrysler 300 land yacht to the sharp, Mustang/Camaro-battling Dodge Challenger and Plymouth 'Cuda, where it made up to 390 hp. In a horsepower race, manufacturers will do crazy things, and the 1960s saw some stupendous experimentation. Ford's single-overhead-cam 427 generated more than 600 hp and was sold through speed shops. Chevrolet added fuel injection to Corvettes and produced aluminum blocks for the rare ZL1 427. Pontiac's Ram Air V heads had intake ports so large that the only place for the pushrods was, well, directly through the port. Oldsmobile even developed a 32-valve 455 that, like an LB7 Duramax Diesel, still used an overhead valve arrangement. Chrysler even tried pushing engine tech forward with a massive prototype double-overhead-cam pentroof 426, which means that Dodge did try to ditch pushrod V8s at one point. And American Motors Corp. was, uh, there. Look, the 390 and 401 are awesome engines, but other than the 1957 fuel-injected 327 that never actually made it into the Rambler Rebel, the company's engines were pretty conventional.
