This 1933 Auburn V12 Salon speedster is brought back to life after being dormant for many years. It is a very rare, authentic V12 Speedster, one of 14 V12 Salon Speedsters built in 1933, and one of only 5 known to still exist. The second owner bought the car in 1936, and claimed that it was owned by famous movie star Clark Gable. Fred Duesenberg designed the Auburn V12 engine, and they were built at the Lycoming engine works. With a 45-degree V angle rather than the customary 60 degrees for a V12, the Auburn was exceptionally tall and narrow. Bore and stroke were an undersquare 3.125 by 4.250 inches, yielding 391 cubic inches. Neither an L-head nor an OHV layout exactly, the valvetrain employed a single camshaft operating rollerized followers that acted directly on the horizontal valves. A novel “fire slot” combustion chamber with a slim, rectangular opening to the cylinder supported a compression ratio of 5.75:1.
Rated output for the Auburn 12 was 160 hp at 3500 rpm. To give the big V12 even longer legs, Auburn incorporated a two-speed rear axle that effectively functioned as an overdrive, providing a top speed of over 100 mph.
