Engine No. T1484
By 1908, the Hendee Manufacturing Co. was building 3,000-plus
motorcycles per year, with around 15,000 built since 1901. The Indian brand had
established its name in racing and record-breaking since its very first
competition in 1902, when company director and veteran bicycle racer George
Hendee won the Boston-New York race on a machine of his own manufacture. Hendee
repeated the victory in 1903, which partly reflects his experience as an 1880s
bicycle champion, with a record of 302 wins from 309 starts on dangerous
“high-wheelers.” He retired in 1886, and turned his attention to building the
new “safety” bicycle design with equal-sized wheels front and rear. Combined
with John Boyd Dunlop’s invention of the inflatable rubber tire in 1887, the
safety bicycle was on the cusp of transforming the two-wheeled world. While the
“boneshaker” bicycle was the natural testbed of the first motorcycles from 1867
onwards, the safety bicycle provided a far more stable platform to carry an
engine. Hendee made his famous handshake with Oscar Hedstrom in 1900 to build
motorized bicycles as pacers for pedal-racing; but, once they became reliable,
it became apparent that pacers were pretty exciting too, and “demonstration”
races were held between pacers as entertainment during amazingly popular
bicycle races. Thus, even in its prototype stage, the Hedstrom/Hendee “motocycle”
had competition in its blood. Bicycle heritage also showed itself in Indian’s
adoption of all-chain drive on almost all models. By 1905, specialized Indian
racing machines that were visibly different from the catalog offering appeared,
including a new V-twin engine, which was first offered to the public in racing
form by 1908. That first 60.32 CI engine retained the “automatic” inlet valve
and mechanical exhaust of the singles, although this “monkey on a stick” twin
racer was advertised as capable of 65 MPH “according to gear,” with a single
Corbin coaster-brake on the rear wheel—racing was always for the brave. Other
specifications included Hedstrom mica spark plugs, an English Brooks racing
saddle (the B-100 or B-100-4 for “heavy riders”), and an all-up weight of 120
pounds. Colors available were Indian Royal Blue (the standard), with options of
black or Indian Red. The magnificent twin-cylinder Indian racer could be yours
for $360. The E.J. Cole “monkey on a stick” 1908 Indian Twin-Cylinder Racer was
purchased from Dick Ollhoff, and retains its original parts, while remaining in
unrestored condition.

A two-time winner of GS Nationals Concours Gold and awarded
Best of Show at Hemmings Musclepalooza, this 1970 Buick GSX is documented as
the 144th of only 678 Buick GSX models produced that year. Like other Buicks of
the 1960s, the GS was overshadowed by its intermediate competitors at
Chevrolet, Pontiac and Oldsmobile. But, Buick planted the seed for its greatest
performance car in 1967, when the Division replaced the Nailhead V-8 it
introduced in 1953 with a new, larger V-8 with plenty of room in its
architecture for expansion. Displacing 430 CI in full-size Buicks and the
Riviera, the new V-8 was sleeved down to 400 CI for its intermediates, but when
GM dropped the restriction on displacement in its intermediates, Buick
engineers unleashed the hounds, boring the 430 out to a full 455 CI and
dropping it into the freshly restyled GS. The resulting ram-air-fed GS 455
boasted 350 HP at 4,600 RPM and a monstrous 510 lb-ft of torque, one of the
highest ratings of any production engine. An optional Stage 1 455 raised output
to 360 HP using a hotter cam, larger valves and a recalibrated carburetor.
Buick then unveiled the GSX performance option, available only in Apollo White
or Saturn Yellow and featuring front and rear spoilers, contrasting body-side
and hood stripes, extra-wide Goodyear Polyglas GT tires on chromed Rallye
wheels, hood tach and heavy-duty Rallye Ride Control suspension. One of just 81
produced with a 4-speed manual transmission, this rare 1970 GSX was the
recipient of a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration to concours-winning
condition. Its 455 CI ram-air V-8 was rebuilt to Stage 1 specifications, and it
connects through the 4-speed to a 3.42:1 rear end. Finished in brilliant Saturn
Yellow with a black interior, its great complement of optional extras includes
power steering and front disc brakes, power windows, a sport steering wheel on
a tilt column, center console and AM/FM radio.
