Selling A 1968 Aston Martin DBS

 

Although both cars ran simultaneously until 1971, the Aston Martin DBS was launched in 1967 to replace the Aston Martin DB6 – two of the most popular Aston Martin classics in the market today. Its more modern body style and spacious interior made the 1968 Aston Martin DBS a very popular grand touring car at the time. Initially, the car was designed to carry the brand new V8 engine, but it wasn’t ready in time, so the engineers decided to use the Tadek Marek DOHC six-cylinder of the DB6. Although the overall weight of the car was greater than the DB6, the DBS was still a light grand touring car for the era. To compensate for the gain, Aston made the Vantage option available to buyers. The result was an increased 325 horsepower, against only 283 for the standard engine. If you’re interested in selling a 1968 Aston Martin DBS, the Alex Manos team has experts ready to assist you. These are just a few of the interesting characteristics that potential buyers will want to know about your particular model.
