Watson and Jud Phillips, and was even photographed in 1950 with Hollywood icon Clark Gable at the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>The 1948 Bob Estes Special was Estes\u2019 first \u201cbig\u201d championship car, appropriately with stock-block Mercury V-8 power. With the birth of Estes\u2019 son Dale, a wonderful caricature of him graced the hood of the car, along with the \u2018Dale Boy\u2019 legend underneath. Built and raced in partnership with Conrad \u201cConnie\u201d Weidel, this car was first driven by Californian Manuel \u201cManny\u201d Ayulo. The 1948 Indianapolis qualifying attempt also marked crew member and soon-to-be Indianapolis 500 winning constructor and crew chief A.J. Watson\u2019s first time at Indy. While the car and team failed to qualify for the 1948 Indianapolis 500 race, they would return for 1950, given Estes\u2019 acumen and firm belief that a semi-stock V-8 engine could compete against the \u201cOffy\u201d dominated field.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to Indianapolis in 1950, the Bob Estes Special was re-equipped with a 268-cid Mercury V-8 equipped with exotic Ardun OHV \u201chemi\u201d cylinder heads. This qualifying attempt was the first appearance there of Jud Phillips, who would become one of the toughest chief mechanics at the Speedway, with 32 consecutive starts at Indy including Bobby Unser\u2019s 1968 win. Driven by Californian Joe James, the Bob Estes Special was one of 99 entries vying for a starting position. The team and car performed very well, with James even setting two world stock-block records on May 27th and he initially qualified to start, only to be bumped on the last day of qualifying. Nonetheless, the team made a strong showing at Indy that year and garnered from Benson Ford, thanks to the many factory-stock Ford\/Mercury parts used so effectively by the Bob Estes Special and its inventive crew.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gable-e1534530284963.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-640968 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gable-e1534530284963.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1071\" height=\"783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gable-e1534530284963.jpeg 1071w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gable-e1534530284963-300x219.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gable-e1534530284963-1024x749.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gable-e1534530284963-100x73.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gable-e1534530284963-770x563.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gable-e1534530284963-293x214.jpeg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Bob Estes team had another interesting encounter at Indianapolis in 1950 with screen legend Clark Gable, who happened to be at the Speedway while filming the racing drama, To Please a Lady. He posed behind the wheel of the Bob Estes Special for a photo, including Estes team members Jack Doulin, Joe James, Jud Phillips, and Dick Ford, with Henry Banks, the AAA National Champion, seen atop the wall in the background. Bob Estes then asked Gable if he recalled losing a few bucks to a brash young man in a black Model T in a late-night drag race on Santa Monica Boulevard back in the 1930s. Gable replied, \u201cI sure as hell do!\u201d When Bob identified himself as that young man, Gable asked \u201cWhere\u2019s the nearest bar? We\u2019ll have a drink; we have a lot to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1951, the Bob Estes team returned to Indianapolis with two cars, including his original Bob Estes Special, the car offered here, now powered by the very first four-cam stock-block Ford\/Mercury engine ever to run at Indy, engineered by Joe Davies. Bob Scott drove the Bob Estes Special well during qualifications and was lapping solidly until a blown head gasket forced retirement. In addition to its three Indy qualifying attempts, the original Bob Estes Special ran at Pikes Peak during 1950 and 1951. That first time in 1950, Russ Snowberger drove it to 23rd place, with car and driver pictured taking at the finish for the January 1951 edition of Speed Age. This drive was Snowberger\u2019s last in his long and successful driving career, after which he focused on his business and racing sponsorships. Interestingly, Snowberger and the Bob Estes Special shared a page in that article with eventual Le Mans and Formula 1 World champion Phil Hill, who competed at Pikes Peak with a Mercury-powered Allard.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_640969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-640969\" style=\"width: 842px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1958-Ferrari-250-GT-Ellena-e1534530370325.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-640969 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1958-Ferrari-250-GT-Ellena-e1534530370325.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"842\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1958-Ferrari-250-GT-Ellena-e1534530370325.jpg 842w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1958-Ferrari-250-GT-Ellena-e1534530370325-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1958-Ferrari-250-GT-Ellena-e1534530370325-100x60.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1958-Ferrari-250-GT-Ellena-e1534530370325-770x464.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1958-Ferrari-250-GT-Ellena-e1534530370325-293x176.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-640969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1958 Ferrari 250 GT Ellena.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Also on the docket will be a remarkable line-up of rarely available sports cars, pre-war automobiles, exotics and American and European classics, many of which have benefited from single or very limited owner rosters. Among them is a highly original <strong><em>1958 Ferrari 250 GT Ellena<\/em><\/strong>, documented as the last of just 50 250 GT Ellena coupes produced, a numbers-matching example with history compiled by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini. With only two owners from 1976 to 2018, 0887 GT was largely unknown to Ferrari collectors and for many of those years it resided quietly hidden from sight in a horse stable. Only a fraction of the 50 Ellenas produced survive intact today with their original bodies and engines, making this 1958 Ferrari 250 GT an exceptionally exciting discovery. Enjoyed by a single custodian since 1976 is an impeccably restored <strong><em>1962 Shelby Cobra<\/em><\/strong>, extremely rare as one of only 75 first-generation 260 Cobras, with the original engine, transmission and body panels augmenting its exceptional authenticity.
