David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Edwin Aldrin" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. Commemorative Cover postmarked January 20, 1979. On July 20, 1969, Edwin Aldrin soared into the history books when he successfully piloted the Eagle lunar module. Born in Montclair, New Jersey, in 1930, Aldrin graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1951 and received his Doctor of Science from M.I.T. in 1963. As both a scholar and as a test pilot for the Air Force, he was especially qualified to become an astronaut in the NASA space program. On the Gemini XII flight in 1966, he established a new record for extravehicular activity, spending 5-1/2 hours outside the spacecraft. He also performed the first space rendezvous using on-board computations, and he made the first fully automatic reentry of a spacecraft. On the historic flight of Apollo XI, it was his great responsibility to place the Eagle lunar module safely and precisely on the moon's surface. Having completed man's first ascent on the moon, Aldrin and Armstrong maneuvered their lunar module to a rendezvous with command module pilot Michael Collins who had remained in lunar orbit in the Columbia. Aldrin's perfect performance in the difficult landing and docking feats helped assure the success of Apollo XI and is recorded forever in the annals of aerospace history. Image Size: 17.75 x 21 in.

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Captain James A. Lovell, Jr., USN" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood James A. Lovell Commemorative Cover postmarked September 22, 1990. Born March 25, 1928, in Cleveland, Ohio, James A. Lovell, Jr. probably never imagined he would become a hero in American aerospace history. Lovell served on missions for the Gemini and Apollo programs. The Gemini 7 mission, with Frank Borman, set a record of fourteen days in earth orbit and made the first space rendezvous with Gemini 6. With Edwin Aldrin, he flew Gemini 12, the final mission of the Gemini program. On December 21, 1968, Lovell, Borman and William Anders became the first men to leave earth's gravity and orbit the moon in the Apollo 8 spacecraft, returning to earth the first close-up views of the lunar surface and of the moon's back side. Further, Apollo 8 demonstrated the technology which would later permit crews to actually land on the moon. In 1970, Lovell headed to the moon with Fred Haise, Jr. and John Swigert, Jr. in Apollo 13. Due to an on-board emergency, the mission had to be aborted en route to the moon, but the herioc and innovative efforts of Lovell and the crew combined with the help of ground control to bring the three astronauts safely back to Earth. Captain James A. Lovell retired from the Navy and NASA in 1973 to embark on a distinguished career in the business world. Image Size: 18.25 x 21.25 in. Overall Size: 23.75 x 26.75 in. Unframed.

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "The Shootout" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared in the Fleetwood Trails West Collection of Fine Art Prints as "The Shootout" published in 1983. "Three Men Hurled into Eternity in the Duration of a Moment," read the headlines. The Tombstone Epitaph blazed the story of the famous shootout which took place at the livery stable known as thh O.K. Corral. Tombstone, Arizona, the town "too tough to die," had chosen Virgil Earp city marshal along with his brothers Morgan and Wyatt and their hard-drinking cohort Doc Holliday. Rancher Ike Clanton, his clan and friends, had been labeled as rustlers, "fractious and ... much-dreaded cow-boys" as the Epitaph had called them. Earp had been warned that Clanton was "thirsting for blood" and had made threats to "shoot him on sight." When the two factions met, Virgil Earp commanded that the Clantons give up their guns. At that moment, two shots were fired simultaneously and only sixty seconds later the shootout was over with three of the Clanton group dead. The law of the frontier was quick and self-proclaimed, and lawmen were often quick to kill. They had to be, because, as everyone knew "there's no law west of Kansas City, and west of Fort Scott, no God." With outlawry running rampant in the mining camps, railroad camps, and on the cattle trails, despairing businessmen hired tough gunfighters for protection of the citizenry. Indeed, it was the reputations of lawmen -- such as the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday -- that helped to finally tame the Wild West. Size: 21 x 18 in. Unframed. (B07577)
1998 Honda CB 500, 499 cc. Registration number S865 JNW. Frame number ZDCPC32A0WF204329. Engine number PC26E2306510. Honda CB500 were produced from 1993 until 2003, because of their low cost, reliability, and good handling they were popular with commuters, and Motorcycle couriers. They were also raced in the U. K. in the Honda CB500 Cup (changed its name in 2009 to the Thundersport 500 when Suzuki GS500 and Kawasaki ER-5 were included). According to Honda engineers, the 499 cc parallel twin DOHC engine was designed to last for 190,000 miles. One motorcycle was tested by Moto Revue from 1993 through 1996. Dismantled at 31,000 miles, the engine was in perfect condition. At 62,000 miles only the cam chain and the pistons were replaced, although, in the tester's opinion, it could have run with the original parts for longer with no problems. JNW was owned by Dennis Lumsdon from 2004 and rode it until 2007 when at 37,982 it was stored. In 2016 he made into this cafe racer it now is with hand built tank, side panels, seat, foot pegs, exhaust pipes and silencers. He changed the rear wheel and steering head bearings, clip ons and fully serviced it. MOT'd in 2016, 17 and 18 our vendor purchased it in April 2018 when at 43,151 miles, he has hardly used it. Sold with the V5C and details of the changes made.
1972 Suzuki GT750 J, 750cc. Registration number YOD 709K. Frame number GT750 - 18823. Engine number GT750 - 65118 The GT750 was unveiled to much fanfare at the 1971 Tokyo show. This was Suzuki's answer to the Honda CB750, and the Kawasaki H2, but was very different to both. Driven by an in-line 3 cylinder 2-stroke engine, the 'Kettle' was also liquid cooled. Suzuki surprisingly opted for drum brakes (on the original), but the front was a 9 inch 4-leading shoe design, so was actually reasonably powerful. The engine was very impressive, with a nice flat torque curve, and good acceleration from as low as 2000 rpm. The engine firing impulses corresponds to that of a 6-cyl 4-stroke so this engine type runs very smoothly when in good tune. Visually these bikes are distinguished by the characteristic water cooling radiator in front of the engine, there is a cooling fan behind the radiator which kicks in at random occasions. The bike was known for the wide power band/low end torque allowing exceptional acceleration performance from low revs, similar in characteristics to the triple 2-stroke air cooled Kawasaki H2 750 (Mach IV) but more 'civilised'. The GT750 was not the first large displacement liquid cooled two stroke motorcycle, or even the first two stroke triple - that honour goes to Scott Motorcycles in the UK which produced a very small number (specifically eight !) of 750cc and 1000cc liquid cooled two stroke triples in the 1934/1938 time period. However, the GT750 was the largest displacement, mass produced (roughly 71,000 were sold world wide in total), liquid cooled two stroke engine ever offered for retail sale. The 1973 model, GT750 K was announced with extra chrome plating and two 295 mm discs replacing the drum front brake. No other manufacturer was offering dual front disc brakes at this time, so this was quite a marketing coup for Suzuki. According to VOSA YOD was MOT'd in May 2103 at 23,054 miles although it was not registered with DVLA, so possibly an import. In November 2014 it was MOT'd with a mileage of 23,060, DVLA allocated the YOD registration number and it was bought by Alexandre Filho for £3,000; he commissioned an extensive rebuild of the machine spending some £7,000 on it. Stotford Engineering stripped and rebuilt the top end of the engine, rebuilt the running gear and ancillaries at a cot of £1,920. BAZ Kettle Clinic rebuilt the bottom end, including polishing the crankshaft at a cost of £1,500 and Motorcycle Works of Peterborough undertook another £1,200 of work. By 2016 it was on the road and MOT'd at 23,507 miles. Rarely used in May 2018 our vendor purchased it from Premier Motorcycles of London and had the frame powder coated and the exhaust system rechromed, at this time the speedo was changed and an MOT issued in August 2019 at 15,361 miles, today it is the same. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection. Sold with the V5C, current MOT, various receipts for works undertaken.
1976 Suzuki GT 750A, Dunstall replica, 750 cc. Registration number MNA 93P. Frame number GT750 66334. Engine number GT750 72913. The GT750 was introduced in 1972 with the J with a double-sided, twin-leading shoe, 200 mm drum front brake with 180 mm drum rear. The 1973-1975 models, K,L, M had improved brakes, retuned engine, higher gearing. The 1976 GT750A model pretty much stayed the course with only minor changes to trim items and the obligatory paint colour change. The final 1977 model GT750B had a few changes including black side panels. As with all big two strokes of the late 1970's, the GT750 was a victim of stricter emission regulations and competition from technical developments of four-stroke motorcycles. Paul Dunstall, was a specialist tuner of 1960's and early 1970's originally with Nortons. In 1966 Dunstall Motorcycles became a motorcycle manufacturer in its own right, so that Dunstalls could compete in production races and set a number of world records before sales of the Dunstall Nortons declined in the 1970's consistent with the demise of the British motor cycle industry and corresponding rise in Japanese imports. He worked on both Yamaha's and Suzuki's in this period and the bodywork could be ordered to be retro fitted or when you bought your machine new. Subject to a total restoration in 2011/12 by the previous owner, and painted in Barry Sheene colours, it featured in owners club calendar and magazine. Polished engine, All Speed expansion chambers, Purchased from Keystone of Hampshire in October 2018 it has only covered 127 miles the rebuild. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection. Sold with the V5C, current MOT, Spicers can highly recommend this machine.
