Welcome to Vintage Motors of Lyons

Front of the shop in Lyons

We sell, consign, purchase, and locate cars of interest for folks that appreciate them. We  always carry an eclectic selection of classics. Whether you are wanting that perfect  Sunday driver, a project car, or a higher end investment, we probably have a car that you will enjoy!

I have been passionate about cars since I was a kid in the '50's and '60's and bought my first car while in high school, which was a then 10 year old 1958 MGA. Since then I have enjoyed and nurtured many classics, both foreign and domestic. I decided to follow and share my passion for cars by creating a welcoming marketplace to not only sell cars, but open a place for everyone to come in and check out and talk cars, look at car books, magazines, posters, artwork, etc..

Our shop was originally built as a Texaco gas station in the 1940's and is conveniently located at the junction of the two highways leading to the Rocky Mountains just north west of Boulder. You won't miss us at the west end of Main Street.  Lyons is a fun, small town offering nationally known live music festivals and brewpub; shops and great fly fishing, kayaking, tubing, hiking, and mountain biking.  The South St. Vrain Canyon is among many great driving roads in the area.

The best part of this business has been all of the great people we meet. Thanks for visiting our site and I hope to meet you whenever you are in the area.

1967 Porsche 912 – Sold

1967 Porsche 912 Five Speed Coupe For Sale. This is Porsche # 462950; built June 14, 1967. It is finished in its original color combination of Light Ivory (#6604) with Black Leatherette Interior. As verified by the COA from Porsche included with the car, it is a matching numbers car with its original engine and transmission.

This 912 is very well sorted and tuned. It is an absolute pleasure to drive! One may experience how well balanced these cars are and how much fun they are when driven at speed; comfortably and safely.

Having owned an early 912 myself for many years, I can say that it is quite satisfying and fun to drive these cars near their limits on daily roads. The proportions and lines of these early short wheel base cars are very pure and look and feel just right too.

I believe that Porsche enthusiast Jerry Seinfeld summed up the 912 nicely in just five words: “Lighter, more agile, cooler image”.
