Versatile and Portable Car Lift for the Home Garage

Presented by QuickJack – Did you know you can have a commercial-quality car lift in your garage that’s completely portable and easy to store when not in use? You can with a QuickJack™ lift. In 2015, QuickJack revolutionized lifting at home, the track, and the shop by giving customers a faster, safer lifting alternative to floor jacks, stands or ramps without the expense or massive space requirements of a permanently installed lift.

QuickJack3 — The new QuickJack TL series is taller and now provides a full 2 feet or more of ground clearance.

Many vehicle owners want the flexibility to perform vehicle maintenance, upgrade parts, detail their cars or swap wheels at home, but using standard floor jacks is a real hassle. QuickJack lifts compact, frame-engaging models with an open-center design that gives you full access underneath and around the vehicle. You can use a QuickJack lift for vehicle maintenance and repair, including servicing the brakes, wheels, and suspension.

The new QuickJack TL Series lifts recently debuted at the 2021 SEMA Show. These models offer an additional 3 inches of lifting height over the outgoing SLX models to provide a full 2 feet or more of ground clearance.

QuickJack1 — QuickJack, a versatile and portable commercial-quality lift for your garage

The new QuickJack TL line includes four models to handle everything from cars to light trucks with a lifting capacity up to 7,000 pounds.

QuickJack is self-contained, and with an available power supply, it can operate both indoors and outdoors. Set up is easy and once it’s assembled, moving and positioning QuickJack is breeze. The unit rides on smooth moving urethane wheels, and its zero-leak quick-connect fittings means you’ll be ready to lift your vehicle in no time. Once your vehicle is lifted, you’ll have peace of mind that both you and your vehicle are securely supported by QuickJack’s automatic locking bars.

All QuickJack TL models feature pendant controls for one-handed operation, dual-position automatic safety locks and durable urethane wheels to make it easy to roll the lift wherever it’s needed. Each lift reaches its full height in just 30 seconds. When the job is done, the frames lower to 3 to 3.5 inches high and can hang on a wall, slide under a toolbox, or go into the trunk until next time.

First Look: LOKI Basecamp Icarus 

Presented by LOKI Basecamp – LOKI Basecamp, maker of premier four-season pods that transform a stock pickup truck into the ultimate adventure vehicle, is proud to release its second model, the Icarus, into the wild.

The new slide-in camper retains the same four-season capabilities and all the basic comforts and functions of the Falcon but condenses it into a smaller, and lighter package that’s more agile and easier to drive while overlanding. The modular interior design is carried over from the Falcon, allowing users to customize the interior to suit their needs, be it sports, leisure, or field office.

“We designed the Icarus with a philosophy of no compromises” said founder and CEO Pierre-Mathieu Roy. “We wanted a four-season unit that was light enough for easy driving both on and off-road, and it needed to be strong enough to carry all of our outdoor toys on the exterior rack system” continued Roy.

The reengineered and reinforced fiberglass shell adds the structural support requested by Roy and it boasts R16 insulation, making it suitable for use in all four seasons. A Webasto Heating Unit supplies hot air and water, and A/C is powered by a 12v air conditioner. A 2,000-watt inverter is up to the task of charging the onboard 300ah to 600ah Lithium battery bank, and rooftop solar panels can supply up to an additional 300w of energy. The Icarus also boasts an on-board water pump, a 15-gallon fresh water tank and 13-gallon grey water tank. The exterior is adorned with an up to 48,000 Lumen light bar on the front, and utility LED lights on the sides and rear as well as a retractable awning. Like the Falcon, the Icarus also has a modular exterior rack system that can be configured to carry a wide range of sporting goods.

The interior has room for a full bed over the cab, hidden storage for a portable toilet, and a multi-function seating and table area that can be reconfigured to make room for an additional bed. The kitchenette features a stainless-steel sink and a mobile induction cooktop. Remaining interior space is dedicated to a mudroom with a mobile shower. That precious real estate can also be used to hang wet clothing or for additional seating.

Later this year it will be possible to add a Red Tail Overland structure on the roof of the Icarus, transforming it into a penthouse with a full 4 season bed.

The Icarus is available in two models: the Icarus 6 will fit trucks with 6.5-foot beds and the Icarus 8 is for larger trucks with 8-foot beds. Prices start at $69,000, with many custom options available. LOKI Basecamp is currently accepting pre-orders with a $5,000 deposit through its website at www.lokibasecamp.com. Once finished, the Icarus will be hand-delivered and installed for customers in North America. For more information about LOKI Basecamp, please direct media inquiries to Bobby Lea at bobby.lea@backbone.media.

Mecum Monterey 2021: 2017 Ford GT ’66 Heritage Edition

Presented by Mecum Auctions – First offered publicly as a 2017 model, Ford’s stunning new GT came to market with a brilliant competition legacy earned at the 2016 edition of the world-renowned 24 Hours of Le Mans. A special Heritage Edition GT was soon offered, designed as a fitting tribute to the legendary P/1046 GT40 that Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove to victory at the 1966 24 Hours of LeMans in the dominating Ford 1-2-3 photo finish there.

Based on a competition-worthy carbon fiber monocoque structure with integrated steel roll cage and aluminum sub structure, the GT delivers awesome, supercar-level performance with its twin-turbocharged and intercooled 3.5L/647 HP DOHC 24-valve EcoBoost engine yielding an immense performance envelope including a 216 MPH top end and acceleration from rest to 60 MPH in just 2.8 seconds. An amazing technological tour de force, the GT delivers its power via a 7-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters and rear transaxle. Active aerodynamics with a deployable rear wing and air brake work to harness the GT’s massive forward urge in concert with Brembo carbon-ceramic disc brakes featuring polished calipers. Next-level braking and handling include a four-sensor and four-channel anti-lock braking system plus Ford’s AdvanceTrac electronic stability control.

This stunning Heritage Edition GT is finished in Shadow Black with painted silver stripes, protected by a full-body clear bra. Inside, the GT’s carbon fiber seats are wrapped in stunning ebony leather with blue accent stitching. Gold shift paddles add a fabulous accent, and the F1-styled steering wheel features functional controls while a tilt/telescopic steering column enhances driver comfort and control.

RM Sotheby’s Presents The Paul Andrews Estate Collection: 1948 Cadillac “Eldorod” by Boyd

Presented by RM Sotheby’s – The expansive vision of Paul Andrews Collection also included select historic street rods and customs, which he admired for their imaginative design, fascinating engineering and, of course, performance. One of the most noteworthy is this significant 1948 Cadillac, known as “Eldorod,” which was the first automobile drawn for Boyd Coddington by Chip Foose and, significantly, Boyd’s personal car.

Beginning as a stock 1948 Cadillac, the car was moved to a custom-fabricated steel chassis with C4 Corvette independent suspension, carrying a Chevrolet 502-cubic-inch V-8 and TH400 automatic transmission. The body had its rear quarter panels welded to the body, the tailfins and wheel moldings completely reshaped, and the body moldings hand-made from scratch. New bumpers, grille, windshield, and aluminum top were also custom-made for the project, as was the billet air cleaner under the hood; 18-inch billet wheels finished off the exterior. The interior was dressed with custom gauges and a Boyd’s custom leather-wrapped billet steering wheel. In this form, “Eldorod” was the last car out of Hot Rods by Boyd before its parent company’s 1997 bankruptcy.

Its designer, Chip Foose, would later restyle the car in his own shop. A 1956 Chevrolet front bumper and 1954 Pontiac grille, reworked with 1957 Nomad bumper guards, were fitted to the snout, while the hood itself was sectioned and lengthened to fit the curve of a custom windshield and A-pillars. The peaks of the front fenders were extended into the doors and frenched in, with 1952 Ford headlight extensions and hand-made chrome bezels. The tops of the doors and the rear quarter panels were sectioned and blended into the sectioned rear decklid, flanked by reshaped taillights with custom lenses. Wheel openings were also reshaped. Much of the body hardware was hand-formed of brass that was carefully fitted and then chrome-plated.

Foose Design’s Freddy and Jed Valdez painted “Eldorod” in glistening Huntington Blue, slightly toned darker by adding black, as per Foose’s original vision for the car; beautiful enamel pinstriping was laid on by Dennis Ricklefs. A removable hardtop was hand-shaped by the revered Marcel’s Custom Metal and covered in Haartz cloth. The side and rear glass were cut by Eddie Kotto. Inside, the original gauges were reworked by Redline Gauge Works, while the seating area was updated with leather upholstery and German square-weave carpeting.

Underneath, “Eldorod” retained, and still does today, much of its Boyd-fitted drivetrain, with the engine fed by a 1,375-cfm FAST EZ-EFI kit, cooled by a Mattson’s aluminum radiator, and exhaling through stainless steel MagnaFlow pipes and mufflers. Custom one-off Foose wheels were machined by Mike Curtis design and shod in Pirelli P Zero tires.

Subsequently, part of the noted collection of Wayne Davis prior to its acquisition by Paul Andrews, “Eldorod” has been featured in an online article from Hot Rod magazine, and justifiably so. It was envisioned by two of the most legendary names in the business. Boyd Coddington provided the impetus, funding, and shop to bring it to life the first time; Chip Foose drew it, and later had the opportunity to recreate it exactly as he had originally envisioned it. Both men’s stamp is clearly present on the end result, a superb piece from the hands of two masters.

RM Sotheby’s is thrilled to announce the expansion of its Monterey auction this year with a third auction night dedicated to the incomparable Paul Andrews Estate Collection. Offered almost entirely without reserve, the impressive collection will kick-off RM’s flagship auction weekend on Thursday, 12 August.

Exceptional 1994 Bugatti EB110 GT Prototype For Sale

Presented by Copley Motorcars – Before the Veyron and Chiron, the EB110 was introduced as the brand’s first modern supercar. After a hiatus that lasted decades, Bugatti introduced this model to shock the world and they succeeded. Powered by a quad-turbocharged V12 engine, the EB110’s power output is rated at 553 horsepower. While that power may be below what you find in supercars today, it was an equal footing with other supercars made during that era like the Lamborghini Diablo and Ferrari F50.

For sale right now is a 1994 Bugatti EB110 GT prototype that is in exceptional condition. It’s finished in the striking Blu Bugatti paint with a light grey leather interior, both of which are spotless. Its pristine condition makes sense when you learn that it has been driven a mere 680 miles since new. It’s not often that you find an EB110 GT for sale, let alone one in as good of condition as this one.

This EB110, engine number 0041, was completely refurbished before it was delivered to its first private Swiss owner back in 2000. A few years later, it landed in the United States as it was brought into an imposing collection. Since it has been in private ownership, it has been kept in incredible ciondition, as you can see from the photos.

This factory prototype Bugatti EB110 GT would make an incredible star in any collection, especially one featuring Bugatti’s latest creations. For more information, be sure to click the button below to view its online listing.

2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series To Be Offered at RM Sotheby’s Milan Sale

Presented by RM Sotheby’s – The 2015 launch of the Mercedes-AMG GT continued the brand’s momentum for continued sales and development which was initially set into motion by the preceding SLS AMG model introduced in 2011. In 2016, Mercedes-AMG released GT3 and GT4 Touring Car versions to privateer racing teams. Now, five years of racing developments have birthed the ultimate road-going example of the model, the brand-new Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series.

The drama of the GT Black Series is immediately apparent. The design’s gaping front fascia has been crimped from the GT3, channeling fresh air directly to the radiators via an isolated intake channel. An adjustable, carbon fiber front splitter can deploy from the bumper in moments, thereby maximizing the on-track effectiveness of the Venturi phenomenon for massive improvements in downforce. The Black Series’ bonnet is composed of carbon fiber, as are the roof and tailgate; the cabin glass is also of a thinner specification than the standard GT.

The car’s widened fenders feature GT3-inspired gills and rear slats that vent pressurized air channeled by the car’s suite of underbody curtains, diffusers, and sealed panel joints. The wheel wells feature a network of cooling ducts for the massive carbon-ceramic brakes which have been cleverly integrated into the side skirts and rear diffuser. Being a road car, the GT Black Series could not make use of the GT3’s active rear wing. Instead, the Black Series’ exclusive rear wing design has retained the same surface area of the GT3 design but distributed it over an ingenious two-tier structure that is cantilevered over the rear tailgate. A retuned set of adjustable coilovers and carbon fiber chassis reinforcements throughout, all provide superior rigidity across the coupe’s 104-inch wheelbase.

The Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is the ultimate GT not simply because of its repertoire of new features harvested from the GT3 Touring Car. At its heart lies the new ‘M178 LS2’ engine which has been exclusively developed for use in the GT Black Series. This new powerplant features a reconfigured 4.0-liter displacement constructed around a flat pane crankshaft; AMG literature states that the new firing order greatly improves thermal dynamics and throttle response. The pair of twin-scroll turbochargers have also been enlarged over previous iterations of the M178 blueprint; they operate at a ‘normal’ boost setting of 25 PSI.

All told, the GT Black Series’ exclusive new powerplant is factory-rated at an astounding 730 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a seven-speed AMG Speedshift DCT with gear ratios optimized for rapid acceleration over top speed. Zero to 60 mph takes just three seconds, with 125 mph arriving just six seconds later en route to a reported top speed over 200 mph.

This vehicle will be offered in RM Sotheby’s new Milan Sale, taking place 15 June at Palazzo Serbelloni in Italy. The sale will be livestreamed and remote bidding options are available.
