OVERVIEW
Wheelbase is a high-octane thriller set in the fantastically opulent world of top-echelon collectable cars. Author
Michael Kliebenstein uses his real-life experience of the classic car business to immerse readers in a high-stakes story
of multi-million dollar deals, rivals, scammers, gangsters, and more.
Classic car trader Mike Chapman is on the verge of closing a £70 million deal – but only if he and his business partner
Rick can survive long enough to sell a long-forgotten collection of exotic Italian sports cars.
Unbeknownst to them, one of the cars is hiding something ugly, something dangerous: a link to a powerful European
network of organised crime. Suddenly, late payments, cloned cars and timewasters are the least of their problems,
and what looked like a straightforward sale becomes a fight for their lives.
Can Mike's grit, his friends, and his expertise prevent him from falling victim to his shrouded foes? And can he prop
up his business, and bring the collection home, to secure the most significant trade of his career?

Michael Kliebenstein has more than 45 years of automotive experience as a car collector, restorer, racer,
photographer, advisor, and marketing expert. He travels the world to find the ultimate in historic cars for collectors,
museums, and other car-related companies.
Michael’s previous Porter Press International book, SuperFinds, was a truly unique work that explored significant and
remarkable car finds from the 1960s and 1970s and sold out swiftly.
Above all, Michael is a true classic car enthusiast with a driving passion for collectable cars in their untouched
original condition and form.
