1964 Facel Vega Facel II Coupé
- Engine
- Chrysler V8
- Colour
- Tudor Grey
A 1964 Facel Vega Facel II Coupé, chassis HK2B172, is one of only 182 examples of the final V8-engined model produced before the company's closure that same year. Built in April 1964 for the American market and finished in Tudor Grey over red interior, it was specified with wire wheels and tinted glass. A California registration card documents ownership from at least 1969 through 2005 under a single keeper; the braking system was subsequently overhauled before the current vendor acquired the car in 2009. Now showing 55,978 miles, it requires mechanical and cosmetic attention.
