This expensive, long legged late 1960s Italian design, badged American Eagle for US, was favored by Evel Knievel for his tricks until he got a new sponsor, Harley Davidson. He set a record jumping 17 cars at Ascot in his American Eagle. Very handsome bike, it was engineered by Massimo Laverda by reverse engineering a Honda 305cc CB77, a Norton 650SS and a BMW 69S. It made 60 hp stock but this bike is a mild custom by Moto Borgotaro in Brooklyn, where you can see much better pics of this bike. Wiki here.
The original Z. Perhaps too much frosting: stripes, chrome and louvers but a classic, nonetheless. 
The Ninety Eight shared its body with Cadillac and the Buick Electra. Wheelbase of 127″ and a Rocket 455 cu. in. V8 rated at 365 hp. Front disc brakes. I’ve found a lot of good cars at this repair garage. 
Classic sports car, the original 240Z did to British sport cars what the seminal Honda 750 did to British motorcycles. These cars have strong straight OHC sixes and independent suspension.
