AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Chevrolet Indy Speedster 'Gilmore Special' is a unique car, built in the style of a 1930s Indianapolis Race Car. The chassis dates back to 1932, while the front end originates from a 1929 Chevrolet. The car is powered by a 235ci Inline 6-cylinder engine from 1957, paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission.
The entirely handcrafted body has been meticulously constructed and features authentic details, such as original wire wheels and hubcaps from 1930-1932. Additionally, the car is equipped with an Offenhauser aluminum valve cover and a custom interior that perfectly complements its historical appearance.
The Gilmore Special boasts an interesting history. The car was built in the United States and was part of the St. Louis Car Museum collection for many years. In 2006, it was sold to a Belgian collector and later brought to the Netherlands.
This car is not only a head-turner but also fully functional. It is well-suited for rallies, tours, and pre-war events such as those organized by the DVSCC.
A unique opportunity to acquire a remarkable, handcrafted Speedster with a rich history and authentic charm.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
