Some Peerless History: Established in Cleveland in 1900 at 43 Lisbon Street, Peerless Motors began producing De Dion-Bouton "machines" under license from the French Company. Engineer Louis P. Mooers designed the first Peerless models, as well as several proprietary engines. The first Peerless-branded vehicles appeared in 1902, with a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels through a shaft. This later became the standard vehicle propulsion layout for automobiles. In 1904, Mooers designed the Green Dragon racecar and enlisted Barney Oldfield to drive it. The Green Dragon brought notability and success to Peerless, as Oldfield used it to set a number of early world automobile speed records. 1905 Peerless advertisement In 1905, the 35-horsepower Green Dragon competed in the world's first 24-hour endurance race in Columbus, Ohio. Piloted by Earnest Bollinger, Aurther Feasel, and briefly by Barney Oldfield, the Peerless led the race for the first hour before crashing into a fence, later finishing in 3rd place. From 1905 to 1907, Peerless experienced a rapid expansion in size and production volume. As the Peerless namesake grew in fame, the company began producing increasingly higher-priced models with a focus on luxury. In 1911, Peerless was one of the first car companies to introduce electric lighting on their vehicles, with electric starters added in 1913. In 1915, the firm introduced its first V8 engine, intending to compete with the Cadillac V8 introduced a year earlier. This model became Peerless' staple production vehicle until 1925, when engines produced by other manufacturers were first used in Peerless models. #Peerless #1923 #beesauction #PrescottClassicCarAuction #FeaturedEntry Also included with the sale of the 1923 Peerless is the enclosed car trailer that the car currently sits in.

Lot 34 | 1968 Chevrolet El Camino

The following was extracted by A.I. from a Sport Truck Magazine feature story. I have redlined errors and added corrected text in parenthesis (red letters). THERAPY STREET TRUCKS Sport Truck Magazine April 1992 By Rob Kinnan The theme of this issue of Sport Truck is "How To Build A Modified Street Truck," and we couldn't think of a better example of home-engineered machinery than the '68 El Camino that belongs to Dale and Debbie Keiser. An electrical engineer by profession, Dale decided that after a complete day of work he needed some therapy. Not the type of person to spend an hour three times a week sprawled out on a psychiatrist's couch, Dale decided his therapy would consist of modifying his daily-driver El Camino. As Dale says, After working all day on schematics and microelectronics, it's nice to torque on a 1/2-inch bolt. The truck was originally purchased to be a driver so that Dale's '63 Impala SS (his first car) could be taken off the street and saved. The Elky was originally a plain Jane, but rust-free Arizona truck with a 307/Powerglide drivetrain. It was decided to leave the drivetrain stock for a while-and concentrate on cleaning up the Chevy's appearance. Working alone in their two-car garage, Dale and his wife, Debbie, learned the true meaning of elbow grease when they sanded the entire truck down to bare metal and started painting it. Shooting candy paint is tough enough for professionals in a spray booth, but the Keisers didn't realize this and decided to paint the truck themselves with candy tangerine lacquer. Thirty coats were needed to cover all the runs, sags and fisheyes, but the final result was worth the trouble. Not satisfied with the performance of the 307, Dale swapped in a B&M-blown 350/TH350 combo. The Elky was streetable and ran consistent 13.3-second e.t.s at 99 mph and was driven daily for two years in this configuration. Then Dale's brother gave him a 454 short-block (long-block built for a blower) and the project took a turn for the better. Dale had never built an engine, and wanting to try something new, he started building the Rat motor to handle the load of a supercharger. The first plan was to top it with a 6-71 blower, but economics told Dale that a second mini blower was cheaper than a big Jimmy huffer, and since he already had one on the small-block, the idea of twin blowers surfaced. TWICE BLOWN THERAPY Pairing the two blowers and making them work together represents the majority of Dale's fabrication. Dale made a model of the mount out of wood, complete with threaded bolt holes, and mocked everything up, making sure that the valve covers could be removed with the blowers in place. This wooden model was then transferred to aluminum, using a 1/2-inch plate and a table saw. Dale offers some advice on this technique: "Use carbide, stand way to the side and wear eye guards and long sleeves." Good advice. After a machine shop trued everything, a pop-off valve was mounted in the adapter to control boost pressure. Three-inch wide, 1/2-inch pitch Gilmer pulleys and a tape measure determined the belt length, providing nine pounds of boost. Friend Charles J. carved out the adapters and the crank V-belt pulley on his lathe. The carburetor arrangement also required lots of patience and fabrication, with wooden models used for the initial mockup. Twin Holleys are used, with the passenger side carb mounted 180 degrees from the driver's side carb so that the fuel lines both enter from the inside. The throttle linkage was fabricated by Dale using aluminum throttle arms and mountain bike brake cables. With the engine in place, on narrow street tires with no traction, the El Camino ran a 12.8-second quarter-mile at 107 mph. (The throttle linkage was fabricated by Dale from aluminum bar stock. Mountain Bike brake cables provide the interface between the accelerator pedal and the carb linkages.) At this point, the old paint started showing its age, so Dale shipped the truck off to Denny Bloom in Chandler, Arizona, for a massage. Denny talked Dale into shaving the trim and door handles and turning the truck into a Pro Streeter. Mesa Auto Specialties reworked the frame and installed the narrowed 9-inch with a coil-over-suspended four-link. Mesa also did the tin work and filled the wheelwells with Center Lines and monster Mickey Thompson tires. To get the stance just right, the rear end needed to be drastically lowered, so the bed was cut to make clearance for the rear end center section. Once the stance was right and the body was straightened to perfection, Denny and Dale came up with the color and graphics design. "Denny Pink" basecoat/clearcoat was used for the base color, with graphics meant to accentuate the huge tires and engine. Once the body was show quality, the interior showed its weaknesses, so Dale addressed it next. After considering several colors, it was decided that gray would best complement the pink exterior. Dale removed all of the upholstery and trim pieces and immaculately detailed them. All the stock chrome trim was sanded down and repainted black, and the dash was painted with a 50/50 mix of fleet black and base white to provide the flat gray color. The dash pad was recovered by New Dash in Mesa, Arizona, and the rest of the vinyl trim was painted-in Dale's garage with SEM vinyl dye. The seats were salvaged from an '85 Camaro (only $65 for the pair) and recovered by Sonny's Custom Upholstery of Phoenix, Arizona. Sonny's also upholstered the door panels and headliner. The carpet is a '57 Chevy salt-and-pepper pattern from Ciadella. Dale built the center console from 1/2-inch hardwood and covered it with foam and gray vinyl. Other than the bodywork, rear end and minor interior work, Dale and Debbie did everything themselves. Not counting the value of his own labor (which is considerable, considering most of the work was performed in an non-air conditioned Arizona garage), Dale says his truck has cost a tad over $20,000 to build. "It's sort of like making car payments for 10 years, but when you're done, you have a new car instead of an old one." We couldn't have said it any better. Transcript of PHOTO CAPTIONS Everything you see in this photo was custom fabricated or modified by Dale. The sheet aluminum firewall cover was mocked up with construction paper templates and transferred to aluminum, then painted gray. The blower mount and the carburetor adapters were also mocked up with wooden models before being transferred to aluminum. The AN fittings were originally red and blue, which didn't fit the monochrome look, so Dale sprayed them with Easy-Off oven cleaner (which removed the anodization) and then buffed them to a shine. The aluminum fuel lines were also buffed. After giving the El Camino the Pro Street treatment, Mesa Auto Specialty Center fabricated the tubs. The sheet metal running between the tubs provides clearance for the rear end pumpkin. The gas filler was also relocated in the bed, just in front of the tailgate on the driver's side. The hood needed to be cut for carb and drive belt clearance. The effect really grabs you by the retinas and screams "look at me!" All the stock interior chrome has been blacked-out, and the '85 Camaro buckets were repadded and recovered with gray and black cloth. The Hurst Quarter Stick controls a B&M-prepped TH350. (Actually a Darrell Young Racing Transmission TH350 with manual valve body and a B&M Holeshot Converter) There's no stereo because, Dale says, "You couldn't hear it anyway!" It's the details that count when you're building a show winner, so Denny Bloom extended the graphics into the door jambs. Vehicle Details: Paint: Acrylic Urethane Base color coat is a continuous fade, darker rear to lighter front. Engine: 454 block; designed for supercharger application. Heads; Open Chamber Oval Port Cam; Hydraulic, specs not known, but likely a Truck / RV lower RPM, high torque Pistons; specs not known, but likely 8:1 compression with Open Chamber heads Transmission: Darrell Young Racing Transmission TH350 with manual valve body Converter: B&M Holeshot. Blowers: 2 ea. B&M 162 cubic inches adapted to one B&M 174 blower intake manifold. Brakes: all four corners, drum brakes, no power Steering: no power Rear End: Ford 9", Gear Ratio: 3.50:1 (I think), 28 Spline axles Rear Suspension: Four Link with coil-over shocks Rear suspension: Custom 4-link with Panhard bar. All body panel joints are welded and filled. Bumper bolt holes are welded and filled. Fuel filler door was welded and filled with new fill port located in bed floor. All chrome was sanded and painted. Recent Refurbish (last four months): New components (5 miles of use while testing): 1) Complete rear drum brake assys, rear end seals, axle seals 2) 4-link bushings 3) Aldan American coil-over shocks and springs 4) Hoosier Tires rear 18.5” wide by 31” tall. 5) Complete carb rebuild with new floats 6) Howards Cams brand lifters 7) Voltage regulator 8) Mallory ignition module 9) Mallory distributer cap 10) Some new, some re-used plug wires 11) Plugs, oil, oil filter, antifreeze 12) Water pump 13) Holley Red fuel pump and filter Notes; Engine mounted fuel pump has its rotor removed so it is pass-through-only to simplify fuel management. Electric fans on radiator. Rocker switch on center console. Turn on after engine is running and leave on all the time that the engine is running. Plenty of cooling. Protection module in-line with Mallory ignition. Original modules were unreliable, a Mallory-Unilite protection module resolved the issue. Engine issue: The engine and blowers had worked perfectly for 35 years. In Mid-September 2026 I took the vehicle around the block to seat the new rear brakes. When I returned to the shop, there was a loud clicking noise under the driver-side valve cover. I found that the #3 cylinder exhaust rocker arm was sitting at 90 degrees and its nut had backed off several turns. The pushrod was sitting, loose. I rotated the engine by hand and measured the travel of the #3 pushrod and the adjacent cylinders and found that they were all the same. So, the cam and lifters seemed to be okay (at that time). I guessed that either the nut had miraculously loosened on its own or the #3 Exhaust lifter had temporarily collapsed and the gap allowed the pushrod to hammer the rocker arm and loosen the nut. I drained the engine oil and found no evidence of metal. I disassembled the oil filter, rolled out the filter element, and found no evidence of any metal at all. So, I guessed that a lifter had temporarily failed. I put in a new oil filter and new oil. I took down the whole top end of the engine. Everything looked fine and the lift measured the same for all of the cylinders. As a cautionary step, I purchased a new set of Howards Cams lifters and installed them. I prepped as if I had installed a new cam and lifters. I primed the oil system with a drill motor driving the oil pump while rotating the crank by hand. All of the air purged from the system and oil was flowing from each rocker arm. Oil pressure was good. I reassembled the top end with all new gaskets, etc. I installed a new water pump and short-hose. The engine fired up on the first try. I ran the engine through the typical new-cam-install procedure with different engine speeds, etc. for a couple of hours. I took the car for a drive around the block. When I returned to the garage I could hear ticking from the driver-side valve cover. I removed the cover. All of the rocker arm nuts were as they should be but the #1 cylinder Intake had a .12 gap……that lifter was stuck, collapsed. I rubbed my finger along the inside of the short wall at the low side of the cylinder head where oil flows from the rocker arms back into the block. There was a small amount of sludge that had a metallic luster. There was now metal in the oil. I have no clue where that metal came from! Perhaps the metal plugged the small ball-valve inside the #1 Intake lifter and perhaps that same thing happened temporarily on the #3 Exhaust lifter. But, how was there no metal in the oil or oil filter? Perhaps there is now. I see no reason to suspect any damage to the head assembly. My guess is that the short-block should be replaced. The original build used a GM water pump. The new after-market pump has an offset of the input shaft of about .1 inch. That would be fine for a production application but it moves the pulley very close to the blower belt tensioning pulley. The clearance is okay, but less than I would like. ANY OTHER ISSUES? The new Hoosier tires have the same advertised size as the original Mickey Thompson tires (no longer available) but the sidewalls are a little over 3/8” inch wider. That makes the fit inside the wheel wells a little tighter. The Panhard bar has been adjusted to center the rear geometry and the suspension is stiffened to reduce side-travel. Take care not to corner the vehicle at speeds that will move the rear axle laterally. I haven’t been able to test that yet! OTHER NOTES: Blower Care: There is a pop-off valve on the front of the manifold adaptor. It is intended to relieve pressure in the event of a backfire into the intake manifold. It works, BUT don’t make it work in the first place. Be sure that the fuel mixture is always rich when starting the engine. That means pumping the throttle a couple times before starting the engine and it means allowing the engine to warm up before hitting the throttle. This design works well but it allows for a high volume of fuel-rich air inside the A-Frame. Just treat it with respect and all will be okay. Shaved door handles: There are no remote controlled solenoids for opening the doors if the windows are rolled up. Water Pump: The original build used a GM water pump. The new after-market pump has an offset of the input shaft of about .1 inch. That would be fine for a production application but it moves the pulley very close to the blower belt tensioning pulley. The clearance is okay, but less than I would like. Just take note if the blower belt tension is adjusted. Blower Belt Tension: Components expand with temperature. There are a lot of expanding components that affect the total tension of the blower belt. Note the tension of the belt as it is now with the engine cold. The belt will tighten as the components heat up. The goal is to not have the belt too tight when the engine is hot and not too loose when the engine is cold. Dents: We purchased the car from the original owner in 1976. He said it was in perfect condition. That proved to be true except for damage to the passenger door that was well hidden with Bondo and nicely matched paint. The dent is still hidden but the repair is far better and stable.
