When news first popped up that delicious 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa was hitting the auction block, no one figured it’d go for cheap. At the same time, I don’t think anyone was expecting it to fetch $12 million, either. Well, to be fair, it actually sold for 9,020,000 Euros, making it the most expensive [...]
I. Ferrari will auction off the very last F430 on Sunday to benefit the victims of the earthquake that devastated the Abruzzo region of Italy. The car comes sporting the traditional colors of Aquila, the city hit hardest by the quake. The last F430 won’t roll off the assembly line until the end of the [...]
Those of you who keep an eye on the auction world probably recognize this car. A couple of years ago chassis #19 was paraded around as an impostor to chassis #21’s throne. After it was revealed that the car wasn’t the actual 1939 Grand Prix winner, the car sort of fell off of the global [...]
And not just some recreation, either. A genuine, original 1965 Shelby Daytona Coupe, chassis number CSX2601 will be up for bid at 8:00 p.m. on May 18. This rig is supposedly the sixth of eight cars constructed to take on the European competition at Le Mans. How’d it fare? The car took three outright victories [...]
If you’re like me, every time you pass a garage you can’t help but wonder what’s behind the door. Odds are there’s nothing but old exercise equipment and Christmas decorations stacked in decaying cardboard towers. Then again, there might be a pair of partially restored vintage racers waiting to be unearthed. No word on where [...]
If you can’t fathom laying down a fistful of C-Notes for a classic Citroen DS3, buckle your seatbelts. A 1973 DS23 Decapatoble just pulled down the most coin of any Citroen ever sold at auction, or at least that’s what the head of Bonham’s Retromobile marketing department thinks. While that’s not exactly Guinness World Records [...]
Remember that tasty 1937 Bugatti 57S Atalante that was unearthed in a UK garage last year? The ultra-rare Bug finally made it to market at a Paris auction house – fetching a mind-boggling $4.4 million dollars by the time the gavel fell. Why the big stir? For one, Bugatti only built 17 of these beauties [...]
Now here’s a cocktail for hilarity. Let’s add the insanity of Barrett-Jackson with the certifiable lunacy of Camaro fanatics, then throw in a dash of charitable contribution to seal the deal. What do you get? The very first 2010 Chevrolet Camaro selling for $350,000. Here’s the real kicker – that cash went for an unborn [...]
Bad news if you were hoping to get your mitts on the ZR1 rolling chassis GM put up for auction a while back. Looks like the company has yanked the nekked chassis from the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction. The company hasn’t released any details as to why the rolling framework, complete with its supercharged LS9, got [...]
Last year, GM began pawning off whatever it could for cash, including a few hot examples from its Heritage Collection. Now it looks like a ZR1 rolling chassis will follow the same fate. There’s no word as to what exactly makes this thing heritage material, but according to the auction paperwork, it has no title [...]
