1964 FACEL VEGA FACEL II COUPE | Daniel Schmitt & Co.

Built by one of France’s most famous manufacturers of high-speed grand tourers in the Jet Age, the Facel II continued the marque’s tradition of American performance coupled with French high style. Powered by a 355-horsepower Chrysler V-8, the four-passenger Facel II could sprint from 0–60 mph in 7.8 seconds and achieve a top speed of 134 mph while carrying its passengers in Rolls-Royce-like comfort. This intoxicating experience made the Facel II one of the most desirable cars of early 1960s society. About 180 were made between 1962 and 1964. The roll call of owners includes royalty, politicians, diplomats, and entertainers: Tony Curtis, Danny Kaye, Ringo Starr, Joan Fontaine, and Ava Gardner being counted among the latter. The magnificent 1964 Facel Vega II Coupe featured here is finished in stunning all-black over Ascot gray leather interior. Fitted with nearly every available option and built for the US market. This was the 137th example built out of less than 185 and delivered new to Southern California to a local physician who eventually sold it to its second owner; a prominent business owner from Newport Beach, California who owned it for nearly 3 decades. A decade later a complete restoration and recommissioning were completed before our acquisition. Recent comprehensive service and recommissioning were performed by our service department and this exquisite Facel II is ready to be shown or driven. With known history from new, Southern California Provence, and gorgeous color combination, this is the perfect example to add to any premier collection. We are proud to offer this investment-grade Facel II to the most sophisticated collector investor or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this iconic French motorcar
