This 1971 Tatra T603 is a terrific way to get everyone's attention. It was built for the best communists; there are spaceship-like aerodynamics; and there's a hemi V8 mounted in the rear. It makes for a rare dictator -level car that were hand-made by the handful, and even fewer remain this clean and complete today.
Not too many people think of Czechoslovakia when shopping for post-war European classics. Still, we didn't have to mention where this Tatra was from for you to know it's different than the others. Despite its unique style, the T603 is an evolution of tradition. Tatra was already established as a maker of aerodynamic executive sedans, but after WWII, a car like this only got a development blessing if it was going to heads of state. So each one is suspected of having a unique history. This car's paint has a glossy look from a distance. However, its current quality up-close is more likely to get you talking about how you need to be robust to survive behind the Iron Curtain. And while we kind of like how its appearance fits the car's personality, the real attraction here is the completeness and straightness in the overall presentation. It really lets you see how there was true elegance in the design. It's in the way the side marker lights taper to join the side trim, and how that brightwork rockets down the side like it's trying to show the air how to feed the V8 in the rear. And while this was built to transport those who excelled at communism, we bet you won't be able to resist mentioning how this is more successful at a split rear window than a '63 Corvette.
The interior keeps a stock and weathered style. The front split bench seat has a bit more contouring, but since the rear was where the most important person often sat, you have plenty of legroom and a folding armrest back there. Elements like the red cloth seat inserts, matching door panels, and German-band radio (for display) are considered opulent items. So while there is certainly room for improvement if you were looking to restore a car, there is something fun about how this already captures the essence of the era.
This car is all about showing off how different it is, and so you'll love lifting the rear hatch and showing off the 2.5-liter hemi V8. Those big valve covers even remind us of those early Mopar FirePower Hemis. But what you'll really be pointing out in this overall tidy setup are the distinct details, like the Czech-made dual carbs. Having an air-cooled motor in the rear seems like a Porsche trait, and if you don't already know, you'll love investigating and talking about that connection. In fact, you may even pick up hints of early Porsche 911 in the engine note. This one has a surprisingly eagerness to run that just seems to reinforce the hardy nature of the communist worker. So it's a car you can take out on the road to show it off. The column-shifted four-speed manual transmission takes a little mastering, but it will be a source of pride when you get the shifts right. Plus, this has good driving features, like power brakes, front discs, modern Goodyear tires, and a fully independent suspension. The driving experience is not like a sports car or a muscle car, but this Tatra 602 will turn more heads on the road than a Porsche 911 or a 426 Charger any day of the week.
This is a unique classic that's able to showcase pure Czech charm. So if you want to be distinctly different, you need this Tatra. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
