Facels are among the most imposting coupes to come out of the 1960s, and struck a balance between brute and ballerina. I use this description because of the svelte design in places, with the thin pillars and airy greenhouse, paired with a Chrysler-sourced Hemi V8 spewing upwards of 360 b.h.p. This example looks a bit rough around the edges as it was stripped for a repaint that never happened, but overall appears sound. Find it here on eBay with a Buy-It-Now of $99,500.

Just look at those haunches! The Facel definitely took inspiration from big American coupes of the era, resulting in the aforementioned split personality between French delicacy and American firepower. The resulting coupe was truly a car for the elite, with rich materials used throughout and a cost-of-entry that ensured only the era’s playboys and daughters of aristocrats could own one. Production was limited as well, with fewer than 500 of models like the HK500 here ever made.

Despite the luxury within, you still had to crank your own windows! The interior of this car remains in excellent condition, with even the fragile wood veneers on the dash still presenting well. Leather seats front and rear are in surprisingly good nick, and the seller claims it remained in the care of a single owner since 1963. It was parked for the aforementioned paint job in 1974 which never commenced, and the Facel sat in storage for decades. Obviously, some care was taken during that time as it hasn’t significantly deteriorated.

There are some bits included in the sale, such as the original California black plates. Not much else is seen here, other than some errant trim and the missing taillight lenses. With only 55,000 miles from new, the Hemi V8 should fire up again with relative ease, but the seller doesn’t elaborate on its mechanical health. I suppose if you’re playing with a $100K for a project, the running condition is less important than the solidity of the body – and this one looks quite good.
