He now oversees 30 staff across Australia, directing two successful automotive brands, Australian Automotive Sales, and Carbuyers, both praised for their outstanding value and commitment to service.
Marc is the man who bought ‘Eleanor’, the Dupont Pepper Grey 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback that Nicholas Cage drove in the 2000 film Gone in 60 Seconds to the AAS Doncaster showroom.
Now, it isn’t the original Eleanor from the movie, of the twelve cars made for the film, five were destroyed during production. One of the cars from the movie previously sold for $1 Million USD and the point for AAS wasn’t for purchase, but for restoration.
Marc himself tracked down the perfect vehicle from a private collector in Queensland to serve as the basis of the AAS replica, an extremely rare original numbered 1967 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback.
Unfortunately, at least for any would-be buyers, this collector’s dream isn’t up for grabs at present, to check it out, you’ll have to swing by the AAS Doncaster showroom.
It’s this kind of dedication and innovation that has seen Marc gain the respect of industry peers as well as the adoration of his clients.
Despite the constantly shifting trends in the automotive industry, he has stayed ahead of the game, even going so far as to revolutionise it with Carbuyers offering drivers a new and improved method of selling their vehicles.
Under Marc’s guidance, both CarBuyers and Australian Automotive Sales have moved from strength to strength, despite the challenges of Covid19, fluctuations in the market, and speculation of a potential recession.
Perhaps it is his deep and genuine love for cars and the automotive industry that solidifies Marc’s position as an industry giant, or it is his ability to continue sourcing new stock, maintaining competitive pricing, and premium customer service that makes him an industry leader.
Regardless of the answer, one thing is for certain, Marc Tricarico is one to watch in Australia’s automotive industry today.
