Buying a 1968 Aston Martin DBS

The Aston Martin DBS was launched in 1967 to replace the DB6, although both cars ran simultaneously until 1971. With a more contemporary-style body and spacious interior, the DBS was a popular GT. Initially designed to carry a V8 engine, which wasn’t finished in time for the launch of production; the 1968 Aston Martin DBS uses the Tadek Marek DOHC six-cylinder of the Aston Martin DB6. Although heavier than its predecessor, the DBS weighs only 3,760 lb, which is below the average weight of GT models at the time. However, the Vantage option was made available, to compensate the weight gain, increasing the horsepower up to 325 (against only 283 hp for the standard engine).

1968 Aston Martin DBS Buyer’s Guide

With a starring role in the James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in 1969 and an appearance in Diamonds Are Forever in 1971, the Aston Martin DBS is a classic cult loved by enthusiasts and collectors of all types. Its design, although still in line with Aston Martin’s style, differs noticeably from the previous Aston Martin DB4, DB5 and DB6, making it a very iconic car of the 1970’s. Most DBS models came with the famous 72-spoke chrome knock-off wire wheels, which are now very desirable. If you already found your dream DBS, here are a couple of tips that might help you do a smooth transaction. For example, you should inspect meticulously all documentation available on the car, such as the original handbook, detailed ownership documentation from new or previous title documents. If you’re unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to use the services of an expert.
