1964 Porsche 356 SC

As the new Porsche 911 was being introduced in 1963, the old 356 was beginning its Swan song as a 74-hp 356 C and the top-of-the-line 356 SC. Its Type 616/16 engine with dual Solex PII-4 carburetors, short skirt pistons, high-lift camshafts, larger intake and exhaust valves, re-worked exhaust ports, four integral counter-weights and sodium-filled valves resulted in a power output of 95 hp. 60 mph came in 11 seconds from a standing start, 2.5 seconds quicker than the C model. Top speed was 125 mph, 18 mph faster than the C. Bodies were made by the Reutter coachworks in Stuttgart and Karmann in Osnabruck while new seat bases offered greater lateral thigh support and backrests that were lower in height. The rear seats had marginally lower backrests. Door panels now came with armrests and the floor-mounted heater control was switched to a lever directly in front of the gear stick. Some minor switchgear changes were made that saw a handbrake warning light added to the combination gauge and magnetic closure added to the glovebox. This 1964 Porsche 356 SC is a Reutter-bodied coupe that was built in late 1964 (October 26, 1964 Acceptance certificate date). The car was repainted in Guards Red by a prior owner, but was originally the much sought-after Ivory (6404B). The car has benefited from replacement floor and rocker panels, and no corrosion exists. Undercoating was applied per factory specifications. The cabin features front bucket seats and folding rear seats trimmed in black upholstery, complemented by matching square-weave carpeting, door panels, and trim that is believed to be original and in good serviceable condition. A Blaupunkt LMKU-band radio is mounted below a factory optional VDO clock in the center of the dashboard. A factory C steering wheel sits ahead of green-letter VDO instrumentation that includes a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline, a 120-mph speedometer, and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 06505 miles (true mileage is unknown). Power comes from a matching numbers 1.6-liter flat-4 (P☆812610☆), with higher compression 1720 pistons and the much coveted large oil pickup. The 4-speed manual transaxle is also numbers-matching. Service (by marque specialists) has been extensive and included work on all systems (steering, braking, suspension, drive train, etc) to bring the car into excellent running and driving condition. New rubber seals have been applied at openings (doors/windows/lids). New tires have been fitted. Many new suspension rubber components were added to return the suspension to fully serviceable condition, and reconditioning/restoration of various components was performed. Brakes were serviced and received new seals and lines where needed. An engine/ transmission-out service was performed in late 2022 and included new seals as well as a new main shaft and bushing from Vic Skirmants at 356 Enterprises. The car received many other service items too numerous to list, including a new battery, new ground straps, and a new battery box. A very presentable driver, this 1964 Porsche 356 SC is being offered at High Octane Classics in Auburn, Massachusetts, asking $109,900.


2012 Audi TT RS

Like its cousins from Porsche, Audi’s RS models have brought the marque’s extensive racing know-how to their production cars. Beginning with the exceptional RS 2 Avant (co-developed and built by Porsche), Audi RS combines enhanced performance, aero and handling combined with the legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system. With its concept-car styling, the Audi TT has been a charming and capable—if somewhat overshadowed by its Boxster/Cayman counterparts—sports car. With its second generation (8J), Audi introduced an RS version of the TT. Most notable was a brand new 360-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-5 that was effectively half of the Lamborghini-derived V10. The engine was mated exclusively to a short-shift 6-speed manual gearbox, with a specially adapted version of the latest multi-plate Haldex Traction clutch. Ride height was 10mm lower than the rest of the TT range, along with stiffer spring and damper rates. A new front bumper assembly featured enlarged, more aggressively profiled corner intakes with three instead of four-blade directional vanes and a deep body colored front spoiler that spanned the central zone underneath. Down each flank were deep body colored skirts leading to a new fully vented rear apron complete with an integrated matte black diffuser. Two massive oval tailpipes replaced the four outlet system used by the TTS. Further up, a twin pylon-mounted fixed rear spoiler was installed instead of the original retractable item. Custom honeycomb pattern grilles were used front and back along with TT RS badges. The interior featured heated front sport seats with TT RS-branded headrests and a small diameter flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel. This 2012 Audi TT RS is finished in Misano Red Pearl Effect and comes equipped with 19″ 5-arm-rotor-design alloy wheels and optioned with Audi Magnetic Ride and a Carbon Sigma engine cover. The Black interior is appointed with extended leather upholstery, automatic climate control and the optional Technology Package (Audi Navigation System Plus with real-time traffic, Audi music interface with iPod cable, Bose sound system, ambient LED interior lighting, adaptive headlights, rear parking sensors). Its modifications are limited to Borla exhaust system and a Bovee tune2air Bluetooth kit. Known imperfections include some scratches and chips around the exterior, 2017 and 2018 date codes on the tires, some creases on the seats, wear on interior touch points, and some corrosion on the exhaust components. Showing 62,596 miles at the time of listing, this 2012 Audi TT RS is listed here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in New Port Richey, Florida with four days remaining in the auction.


1987 Buick Regal T Sport

In the late ’60s, Buick—along with every other American carmaker—rolled up its sleeves in the muscle car wars, albeit leaning on its reputation for comfortable quasi-luxury cars as the “gentlemen’s muscle car.” The pinnacle was the 1970 Skylark GSX. But once the muscle car era was for all intents and purposes over, Buick, unlike its GM siblings, made little effort at offering a performance model (GS trim on some models a mere nod to what it once meant). But then, in 1978, Buick set out to be the first major American carmaker to employ turbocharging. The completely unassuming Buick Regal Sport Coupe, with its turbocharged 3.8-liter V6, was now capable of 165 hp, 25 more than the Mustang II King Cobra. A few years later, a facelift gave the Regal a more aerodynamic nose and with it, Buick was now a favorite of NASCAR teams, winning the 1981 and 1982 Manufacturer’s Cup. This in turn inspired Buick to commemorate its victories with the Grand National in 1982. 215 were built, most with the 125-hp normally-aspirated 4.1-liter V6, but it’s estimated that around 50 were fitted with the Sport Coupe’s turbo 3.8, now rated at 175 hp. The following year, the Sport Coupe became the T-Type, nomenclature now used across Buick product lines including the LeSabre, to indicate the 3.8-liter turbo V6 power. With no Grand National in 1983, it returned in 1984 only this time with the T-Type V6 tweaked to 200 hp. Though about half the GSX’s output, the all-Black menacing Grand National signified that the malaise era was coming to an end and while there’s no substitute for cubic inches, the American performance car was not dead. As a point of emphasis, for its final year in 1987, Buick unleashed “the Grand National of all Grand Nationals,” the GNX (Grand National Experimental). With a suspected output of over 300 hp (Buick officially stated 276), as well as a low-restriction exhaust with dual mufflers, a reprogrammed turbo Hydramatic 200-4R transmission with a custom torque converter and transmission cooler, and unique differential cover/Panhard bar, only 547 were built. Not surprisingly, the collector market has long held the GNX in high esteem and they’re now getting in the neighborhood of a quarter million dollars (occasionally more). That same year, the T-Type became the T Sport Package, now with 245 hp and an impressive 355 lb-ft of torque. Often referred to as a ‘sleeper Grand National,’ this 1987 Buick Regal T Sport is finished in Great Medium Gray Lacquer Paint and is reportedly free of any dents, chips, or rust. Chrome, trim, and glass all present beautifully, highlighting the car’s careful ownership. The interior features factory cloth bucket seats, a “perfect dash,” cold A/C, tilt leather-wrapped wheel, AM/FM cassette stereo with equalizer and power antenna, power windows, locks, a remote passenger mirror, and a factory alarm system. It has been modified with 8-way power front seats (original tracks included), and professional window tint. Power comes from an entirely unmodified original 3.8-liter turbo V6 mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine bay itself has been accented with chrome and a Pypes 2.5” Stainless Steel Exhaust system has been added. Showing 30,187 miles at the time of listing, the car is said to perform flawlessly — tight, smooth, and rattle-free. Restored factory wheels with epoxy clearcoat complete the presentation, and all documented receipts and spare parts are included. This 1987 Buick Regal T Sport can be found here at ACC Auctions by a private seller in Anderson, South Carolina with four days left to bid.

1989 Porsche 911 RUF CTR “Yellowbird”

The RUF CTR, known as the “Yellowbird,” emerged in 1987 as a groundbreaking performance car based on the Porsche 911 Carrera. Created by RUF Automobile, it quickly gained a reputation as one of the fastest and most capable vehicles of its time. The CTR’s performance placed it above many of its peers. It could outpace cars like the Ferrari Testarossa and Lamborghini Countach in most scenarios. While the Porsche 959 had a quicker 0-60 mph time, the CTR excelled in the 0-100 mph sprint, outperforming even the Ferrari F40 and Lamborghini Diablo. With a top speed of 213 mph (342 km/h), it set a new standard for road cars. In a 1987 Road & Track fastest car test, the CTR reached 339.8 km/h, breaking records and later besting its own achievement. On the track, the CTR was just as impressive. It held the unofficial Nürburgring-Nordschleife lap record for several years, showcasing its exceptional handling and engineering. Buyers had two ways to acquire the CTR. They could purchase a complete car, built from a “white body” supplied by Porsche and finished entirely by RUF. Only 30 of these complete models were produced. Alternatively, RUF offered a “CTR Kit,” allowing customers to convert their own Porsche 911 into a CTR. This 1989 Porsche 911 RUF CTR “Yellowbird” is a full conversion model completed by RUF. It is built on the wider turbo body and finished in correct blütengelb (139 Flower Yellow). The interior was entirely crafted by RUF. At its heart is a CTR-spec 3.2-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, extensively modified by RUF with an enlarged intake system, twin turbochargers, a Bosch fuel injection system, and custom-built intercoolers. These upgrades produced 510 hp in ideal conditions. A tool roll, first-aid kit, warning triangle, and a set of Willans 4-point seat belts accompany the sale. It’s being offered by Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami at a price on inquiry.


1970 Ferrari Dino 246 GT

Following in the footsteps of the Dino 206 GT, Ferrari’s introduction of the Dino 246 GT in March of 1969 brought about more power and refinement. The model was divisible into three different production series (designated L, M, and E respectively); the L-Series examples bore the closest resemblance to their forbearers and are easily distinguished by their center-lock “knock-off” wheels, front quarter bumpers extending into the grill openings, external truck-lid release, lights for the rear license plate mounted in the rear bumpers, and headrests mounted on the rear bulkhead. While total Dino 246 GT production amounted to 3,761 cars, only 357 L-Series examples were built, representing less than 10% of total production. This 1970 Ferrari Dino 246 GT, Chassis № 01004, was completed by the factory in July 1970, falling late in L-Series production. Built to European specifications and originally finished in Celeste Metallizzato (106-A-16) over a Nero vinyl interior with Panno Blu cloth inserts, it was originally delivered to an official Ferrari dealership in Prato, Italy. In 2015, the Dino was subject to a full, concours-level restoration by the marque experts at Modena Motorsport of Langenfeld, Germany. Stripped to bare metal, the car was repainted in its original Celeste Metallizzato and the interior was retrimmed in its original colors to match. Mechanically, the engine, gearbox, suspension, and braking systems were fully overhauled, and the car was fitted with new wiring throughout. Lasting two years from start to finish, the restoration is documented by extensive photographs and invoices. Following the completion of its restoration, in 2017 the Dino was purchased by its most recent previous owner, who imported the car to the US and drove the car approximately 500 kilometers in his six years of ownership. With him, the car received oil and filter changes at regular intervals and other repairs were performed as necessary, all accounted for on accompanying invoices dated from 2018 to 2022. In his ownership, the car was granted Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming its original colors and that it retains its original chassis, engine, and gearbox. Acquired by the consignor in 2023, the car has been well-kept in its current collection, accumulating less than 100 kilometers since. It is now located in Portland, Oregeon and open to sealed bids here at RM Sotheby’s with three days remaining until close.


1990 Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo

It would be quelle sacrilège not to feature a French marque on Bastille Day and perhaps no better way than with the merging of two, or more specifically, a Renault Alpine. Produced from 1984 to 1991, the Renault Alpine Grand Tourisme Alpine (GTA) was the first model released under the French sports car marque Alpine since its full acquisition by Renault. Carrying over the unique side profile and transparent C-Pillar design from the Alpine A310, the GTA V6 continued to employ a steel backbone chassis and rear-engine, rear wheel drive layout, but hanks to its wider and longer design, provided more cabin space complementing its 2+2 seating. More comfortable seats, along with a smoother ride, highlighted the Alpine Coupe as a more livable sports tourer. The GTA V6 Turbo arrived for the 1986 model year, which brought a turbocharged 2.5-liter PRV V6 engine capable of pushing out 200 hp and a 0 – 60 mph acceleration in 6.3 seconds. Inclusion of fiberglass materials in its body construction and a drag coefficient of 0.30 also made the car extremely lightweight and aerodynamic among its competitors. Prior to Renault’s departure from the US market, the manufacturer had planned to federalize the model for export to the United States. This 1990 Alpine GTA V6 Turbo brings a Blue paint finish and Black leather interior, wearing the optioned Renault and Alpine exterior decals. It rides on a set of 15” Turbine-style wheels flaunting period style and function, and notably directing cool air to the brakes for optimal performance. Yellow front headlight sections accent its French roots with added flair not often encountered among contemporary sports cars of the era. Cabin equipment includes leather sports bucket seats, an AM/FM radio, air conditioning, and power windows. Driver-centric dashboard design includes a leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel, in front of the LCD instrument cluster and digital boost gauge displays. With 33,000 kilometers (20,911 miles) at the time of cataloguing, a Seller’s Disclosure, Carfax report, and key accompany the sale alongside its Canadian registration. This 1990 Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo is being offered here on SOMO in Toronto with the auction ending July 25, 2025 at 5:15 p.m.

1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

Though unthinkable today, in the early 1970s the Porsche 911 was facing the chopping block. Tightening emissions requirements (both noise and exhaust) made it more difficult to develop soul-stirring power from its air-cooled six. At the same time, then-Chairman Ernst Fuhrmann ushered in two performance-oriented, front-engined players: the 928 and 924. Never a fan of the 911, he positioned them to chase it into its sunset. Not surprisingly, Magazine coverage of the likely 911 phase-out caused a backlash from aficionados who voiced strong preference for the 911 as the “true” Porsche. Fuhrmann’s stance on the future of the 911 tempered slightly: “We will build this car as long as people want to buy it … Only when production volume falls below 25 per day will we have to end it.” As we now know, the production-level threshold was comfortably exceeded (with Fuhrmann’s ouster adding assurance). With its future secure engineers returned to the development of the 911, albeit with limited budgets. More evolutionary than revolutionary, the G-modell 911 entered its final chapter with the 3.2 Carrera. With its 217-hp M930/25 3.2-liter flat-6, the 3.2 Carrera was widely renowned for its engaging driving experience, particularly after 1987, with the now coveted G50 5-speed gearbox. Even Ayrton Senna, the Formula One legend, recognized it. During off-seasons between his World Championships (1988, 1990 and 1991), he drove this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet during his visits to Portugal. As corroborated by its extensive accompanying paperwork, the California-spec car was originally put into service on November 11, 1987. It came from the factory finished in Silver Metallic [L980] and equipped with a Black power soft top and 16″ Fuchs alloy wheels, and optioned with Black leather upholstery, power seats, a Blaupunkt Montreaux radio, air conditioning, and a factory alarm system. Unable to register the car in his own name due to legal restrictions surrounding foreign nationals, it was plated and housed by Senna’s close friend and long-time supporter, Antonio Carlos de Almeida Braga (“Braguinha”). Following Signor Braga’s stewardship, the car was modified with wider “Turbo-style” rear fenders, yellow paint, and a spoiler. In a full-circle turn of events, the car has since painstakingly reverted back to its original specifications under the direction of “Love My Car” in Amares, Portugal between June and December 2024. The process involved partial disassembly and the fitment of new, original-spec fenders (front and rear) rocker panels, bonnet, and bumpers. The body was stripped to bare metal in preparation for a fresh coat of the original Silver Metallic. The detail-oriented restoration adhered to Porsche assembly manual standards throughout. Even the rubber seals were replaced with OEM parts. Senna’s signature remains on the back of the driver seat, and the documentation that accompanies the car tells its complete, and remarkable, story. In addition, the vehicle appears after the credits in the 2010 Netflix documentary Senna. Displaying 74,462 kilometers (46,269 miles) at the time of cataloguing, a second key, jack, wheel wrench, warning triangle, tire inflator, spare wheel, service history book, owner’s manual, warranty and maintenance booklet, notarized registration certificate for plate OH-18-13, photo documentation of pre- and mid-restoration, Scope-of-work document from “Love My Car” restoration facility, registration paperwork, car radio manual, and tonneau cover are included in the sale. This 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, Chassis WP0ZZZ91ZJS150318, is a truly special 911 with unmatched ownership provenance and it’s being offered here on SBX Cars in Braga Portugal with the auction ending July 31, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. EDT.


1998 Acura Integra Type R

Already a success with its sporty Integra, Honda (Acura in the US) introduced a higher performance Type R variant in early 1997. The primary differences were formulaic with other performance-oriented makes: more engine, less weight, and suspension/appearance upgrades. Initially planned for a production run of 500 cars, only about 375 units ended up being built for the U.S. mar­ket, due to some supply issues. All were quickly snapped up. The Type R then returned for 1998, with just 700 brought to America. While highly praised by press and public, they were largely considered an upscale Civic Si. They have always had a following though many have fallen prey to the fast & furious set. In recent years, however, their rarity combined with their excellent driving character have caught the attention of a broader group of enthusiasts and collectors, including one exceptionally low-mileage example fetching over $150,000 at Broad Arrow’s 2023 Amelia sale. This 1998 Acura Integra Type R, while not low-mileage at 92,889 miles shown at the time of listing, is finished in that car’s desirable Championship White and remains unmolested aside from a carbon-fiber spark plug cover and an Alpine head unit. Factory equipment includes 15″ wheels, a limited-slip differential, a front strut tower bar, rear subframe brace, and the distinctive rear spoiler. This cabin is upholstered in Black cloth and features air conditioning, as well as power windows and door locks. Notable imperfections include chips, scratches, and touched up areas around the exterior, a faded rear decal, finish peeling on the wheels, wear on interior touchpoints, and some rust on the exhaust system. Its recent service history shows replacement of the battery and spark plugs, as well as an engine oil and filter change. With championship unmolested looks and now legendary performance attributes, this 1998 Acura Integra Type R is well sorted and ready for its next owner here at Cars & Bids by Acura of Temecula, California with six days remaining in the auction.


1951 Ford Country Squire

“America’s most beautiful station wagon—styled for smart suburban living!” The 1951 Ford Country Squire marked a pivotal moment in American automotive history as one of the earliest examples of the postwar station wagon boom. Introduced as part of Ford’s full-size lineup, the Country Squire was notable for its distinctive “woodie” styling — featuring real wood trim over a steel body, a transitional design that bridged the gap between traditional wood-bodied wagons and the all-steel models that would soon follow. Built on the Ford Custom Deluxe chassis, the 1951 model came with a 239 cu-in flathead V8 engine, producing 100 horsepower. It featured a three-speed manual transmission, with optional overdrive, and could seat up to eight passengers, making it ideal for growing suburban families in the postwar era. For 1951, Ford outsourced the final assembly of the wood trim to Ionia Body Company, a supplier of wood bodies to other manufacturers, and this would be the last year Country Squire to feature real wood paneling before Ford transitioned to simulated woodgrain. This 1951 Ford Country Squire is an older restoration finished in Sea Island Green [M14555], holding up well aside from some light rust on some lower panels and the underside, minor paint imperfections, and some chrome pitting. The red vinyl interior has been customized with Vintage Air A/C and heat, a Forever Sharp 15-inch wood steering wheel, tilt steering column, a digital Gauge Panel, a Kenwood AM/FM/CD Bluetooth radio, and a Fulton Co. sun shield. Retaining much of its stock look, power comes from a newer Ford 289 c.i. V8 featuring Ford Racing ignition wires, Edelbrock 4 bbl AVS2 carburetor with electric choke, Edelbrock performance intake manifold, Edelbrock valve covers, Mr. Gasket adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and MSD ignition paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Other upgrades include a Griffin aluminum radiator, tubular lower A-arms, coilover front shocks, 2½″ dual exhaust, long-tube headers, and wide whitewall tires. This 1951 Ford Country Squire can be found on Hagerty Marketplace with the auction closing July 25, 2025 at 3:20 p.m. EDT.

1999 Porsche 911 Carrera

In the mid ’70s, the fate of the Porsche 911 was looking grim. Decreasingly profitable and increasingly burdened with emissions and safety regulations, it looked for a while like the days of the air-cooled flat-6 were numbered. Thankfully, a change at the top was able to navigate the 911 through its “impact” bumpers and manage the power lost to emissions controls with increased displacement and other engineering tweaks, but the writing was on the wall: the 911 would have to sacrifice some of its 911-ness to forge ahead. In 1998, the 996 generation was introduced. It was the first 911 model not to carry over any significant components from its predecessors. It was totally revamped from the inside out. The biggest change for the 996 was the motor, designated M96. Though still a rear-mounted flat-6, the luftgekühlt engine, a Porsche staple dating back to it roots was replaced with an all-new, modern, water-cooled motor. Displacing 3.4 liters in the base Carrera and all-wheel drive Carrera 4, it made 296 hp and 258 ft lbs of torque. Though only slightly more on paper than its air-cooled 993 predecessor, a weight savings of 120 lbs. made a big difference in real world performance. Panorama magazine said of the comparison “as evolved and nailed-tailed as the older car is, it is no match for the newest 911.” This however did nothing to appease the purists. No Porsche, except perhaps the Cayenne, proved as controversial when launched as the 996. Aside from abandoning Porsche’s air-cooled foundation, the 996 was bigger in every dimension and though 45% stiffer, it felt softer, more GT now than sports car. And then there were those headlights. Though they were a design queue shared with the Le Mans-entry 911 GT1 Evo, most associated them with the entry-level Boxster. Often referred to as “fried egg,” some have called it “crying eye,” as though the 911 itself was lamenting its fate. Matters were made worse—sometimes fatal—by the now well-known failure of the Intermediate Shaft Bearing (IMS), as well as bore scoring inside non-Mezger engines. For the next two decades, the 996 would be ostracized, relegated to “cheap 911” status. A higher mileage but still decent (№ 3) base 996.1 Carrera could often be found for less than $15,000; often much less (Tiptronic anyone?). More recently, with IMS issues addressed and oil analysis tools from companies like Blackstone, the 996 is finding not only redemption, but a newfound appreciation. Even those headlights are getting a break. While still a relative 911 bargain, quality examples are fetching around 50% more than what they were just ten years ago. This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera showcases why they remain an exceptional buy, not only in comparison to other 911s, but vis à vis, say, a Toyota Corolla. It’s an early build (May 1998) finished in Black (L741 Schwarz) and equipped with the trifecta of desirable factory performance options: 6 speed manual transmission, limited slip differential, and lightweight hollow-spoke wheels. Additional features include traction control (ASR), Automatic Braking Differential (ABD), a rear window wiper, and wheel caps with colored crests. The Black perforated leather interior is appointed with 8-way electrical seats with memory and a CD compartment. Modifications include stainless steel mufflers (Agency Power), a short shift kit (brand unknown), 15mm Wheel Spacers with extended bolts (ECS Tuning), a Rennline magnetic phone mount, alloy gauge trim rings, and an updated Alpine sound system consisting of a Bluetooth head unit with microphone and proper orange/amber display, along with SPS-410 speakers in dash and rear. The car is described as a great driver. The body shows no rust, while the paint is consistent with age and mileage, showing rock chips across the front body panels and scuffs/scratches/chips in other places. There are screw holes in the bumper from the front license plate bracket. Wheels have a couple of nicks and scratches but no lip rash. The interior is said to be in great condition, especially compared to other Porsches of this era. A few scuffs and scratches, but really nice overall. It is reportedly in very good mechanical condition with no leaks or warning lights on the dash. The only known issue is the foam bits blowing out of the vents, common to many German cars from this era. Matching Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 tires dated 2019 show 6/32 tread depth. Brake rotors and pads have around 10,000 miles on them. CarFax reports a clean title, with one minor accident shown on the front in 2014 by a previous owner. Details about the accident are unknown, but the original factory build sticker is still present under the hood. Showing 82,211 miles at the time of listing, a major engine service at 71,000 miles consisting of a rebuild using a new Porsche factory short block with latest-generation IMS bearing, refinished cylinder heads, new clutch, AOS, RMS, water pump, coolant expansion tank and more. Numerous other maintenance items were addressed as needed, including brakes, fuel pump, battery, and several smaller items. All larger repairs were performed by independent Porsche specialist shops, while the seller completed many of the smaller maintenance items. Two keys, original vehicle literature with case, factory tool kit with headlight tool, original CD-220 stereo (not working), bracket for front license plate, original wheel bolts with key, and service records from current owner accompany the sale of this 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera on Rennlist Marketplace out of Chicago at an asking price of $29,999.


1982 Lincoln Riviera Bob Hope Special

Throughout history, comedians have had a particular affinity toward collecting car. Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Kevin Hart, and Rowan Atkinson are just a few recent examples. One of the earlier names was Bob Hope whose collection included Packards and Cadillacs, and customized creations from the likes of Lloyd Templeton and a golf cart designed and built by George Barris. This one-of-a-kind 1982 Lincoln Riviera Bob Hope Special was built entirely by hand around a 1973 Lincoln Continental Mark IV chassis. Power comes from a 460 c.i. V8 engine mated to a C6 3-speed automatic transmission coupled with Ford 9″ rear end. Work was completed in 1982. Detailed documentation of the car’s creation, including its handcrafted body and interior, accompanies the sale. Find this 1982 Lincoln Riviera Bob Hope Special listed here at ACC Auctions by a dealership in Ocoee, Florida with six days left to bid.


1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The Mazda MX-5 Miata, introduced in 1989, quickly became a sensation due to its lightweight design, nimble handling, and affordable price. It drew inspiration from classic British roadsters, but with the reliability and build quality of a Japanese car. The NA Miata’s only drawback was a notable lack of power, and an entire cottage industry appeared offering solutions from tunes to forced induction to entire engine conversion kits. This 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata features a Jim Simpson Design Italia body kit. Other notable modifications include a custom exterior repaint, active side air vents, an upgraded soft top with a glass rear window, and aftermarket side mirrors. The interior has been customized with aftermarket carpet and door panel upholstery, an aftermarket center console, leather seat covers, an Autometer 3-gauge center console cluster, a Nardi steering wheel, a Shelby shift lever knob, an Alpine head unit with aftermarket speakers in headrests, and a dashboard cover. At its heart however is a Monster Miata Ford 302 V8 conversion kit (including V8 engine and 5-speed manual transmission sourced from a 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra), a 65mm Ford Racing throttle body, high-flow fuel injectors, independent rear suspension and limited-slip differential from a Ford Thudnerbird, power steering, dual electric cooling fans, a custom stainless steel exhaust system, and a rear-mounted battery. The car rides on 16″ XXR wheels covering Wilwood brake calipers and stainless steel brake lines with larger brake discs, Flyin’ Miata coilovers and bushings, 3-point polished stainless steel roll hoops, reinforced frame rails, and a rear shock tower mount stabilizer bar. Photos of the build process are included in the sale along with two keys, the owner’s manuals and some spare parts. This SVT-powered Italian-look 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a new listing here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in White Salmon Washington, with the auction closing July 17, 2025 at 1:45 p.m. EDT.

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S

Porsche debuted its 944 Turbo in 1985, the highlight of the Geneva Motor Show that year. Now with 217 hp, the 944 had the performance to match its exceptional handling, leaving behind any doubt that this was a “real” Porsche. The Turbo was distinguished by aerodynamic improvements such as a revised front end with integrated fog lights and main beam, removal of the Black rubber buffers, and a color-matched rear diffuser affixed below the rear bumper. The car was lauded for its balance, poise, and livability, securing accolade after accolade from magazines. In its March 1985 issue, Car magazine said “for effortless driving pleasure and near perfect roadability, take the 944 Turbo. It is the better car” when comparing it head-to-head with its older sibling, the 911 Carrera. It continues to charm today, with Jeremy Clarkson stating, “… if I were to draw up a list of the 10 best cars I’ve ever driven, the 944 Turbo would certainly be included.” In 1988 Porsche launched a new more powerful model: the 944 Turbo S. The cars came in an arresting ‘Silver Rose’ metallic paint with a matching burgundy pink ‘Studio’ cloth interior. All cars featured a stylized ‘Turbo’ script on the fender, as a throwback to previous hyper-performance Porsches. The engine was upgraded (designation number M44/52), with power was now 250 hp and torque of 258 lb-ft. The improvements came as a result of a larger KKK K26-8 turbocharger unit combined with revised engine mapping that kept the turbocharger boost at 10.9psi up to 3,000 rpm and then reduced it to 7.5psi at 5,800 rpm, matching boost with fuel and ignition for optimum efficiency. That engine delivered its power through a heavier duty clutch and transmission fitted with a cooler. These moderately improved performance results made the Porsche 944 Turbo S the fastest 4-cylinder production car of its day. In keeping with its performance, Porsche’s engineers fitted the car with the M030 suspension package as well as ‘Big Red’ ABS brakes. 16″ Design 90 alloys, forged from magnesium by Fuchs, were shod with 225/50 tires at the front and 245/45 at the rear. The car’s fenders were remodeled to suit the wider wheels and tires. The manual transmission (case code designation: AOR) featured a higher-friction clutch disc setup, an external cooler, and a limited-slip differential with a 40% lockup setting. The Turbo S cost a huge 10% more than a standard Turbo—moving the price to greater than that of a contemporary 911—but Porsche managed to shift over 1000 of the cars. This 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S is said to be in immaculate condition inside and out, remaining highly original throughout. It has covered a reasonable 63,922 miles under the care of three owners, the most recent of which has been its steward for the past decade. Complete service records from new accompany the sale, while all maintenance is up to date. Find this 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S ‘Silver Rose’ here on The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) at an asking price of $49,944.


1962 Mercedes-Benz 220

When we think of cars from the ’50s, many of us conjure images of the space-age and aeronautic-inspired tailfins. They can generally be traced back to Harley Earl’s designs for Cadillac in the late ’40s, but it wasn’t long before other American manufacturers, Citroën, Volvo, Alfa-Romeo, even Ferrari bgan adapting the element. Somewhat late to the game was Mercedes-Benz who had been enjoying success (and profits) with their post-war W180 Pontoon design. By the late ’50s, as fins were getting increasingly larger, the Pontoon was getting dated and work began on its replacement. The cabin was widened and squared off and indeed tailfins were incorporated, albeit far more subtle than Detroit’s finest. Also notable were front and rear crumple zones, a milestone in automotive design. Often referred to as ‘Heckflosse,’ or Fintail, the W111 made its debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in the autumn of 1959. This 1962 Mercedes-Benz 220 was originally sold by Boozer Motor Company in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for $4,472.01 retail. The body, as indicated on the original window sticker, was originally finished in Moss Green (DB226) and was refinished under prior ownership. Exterior features include optional rear bumper guards, complete brightwork, a driver-side rearview mirror, stacked OEM headlamps, and factory “220” decklid badging. The chrome brightwork across the body of the car is noted to be in great condition with no pitting shown. The front grill is topped with the original hood ornament with the plastic mesh showing no holes and the thin chrome inlays have no bends. he 13” steel wheels sport polished covers including color-matched Moss Green hubcaps. Braking is handled by drums behind each wheel and all four shocks were replaced in 2022 prior to the current owner’s acquisition. The cabin is appointed in Creme Beige Leather across the seats with matching door cards and carpets. Natural Herringbone CocoMats adorn each footwell and show well. Crank windows are shown with all the OEM cranks present, and the corner windows are manually operated by knurled plastic knobs below to direct outside airflow onto the occupants. The walnut dashboard shows no signs of chipping or delamination and the dashboard wood appears to be in great condition. FrigiKing air conditioning is featured and operates as intended with controls mounted below the dashboard. A linear tachometer has been installed in the radio filler plate. The levers for the heat and fresh air in the center of the dash are all intact. Power comes from a 94-hp 2.2 liter M180 inline-6 engine featuring dual carburetors mated to a column-shifted 4-speed manual transmission. Displaying 89,836 miles at the time of listing (TMU), the most recent service totalled $14,000. The service included a replacement generator, new air filter, rebuilt Bosch voltage regulator, a hood adjustment, new shifter linkage, carburetor rebuild, fuel service, an ignition service, new distributor, new rotor, an oil service, a steering box service, and more as part of a $46,000 mechanical refurbishment under the current owner’s stewardship. Records from Pierre Hedary and Jamie Kopchinski are included, in addition to records since new from all three owners. Complete documentation, workshop manuals, some spare parts, the factory jack, factory literature, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name also accompany the sale of this 1962 Mercedes-Benz 220. It’s being offered on The MB Market out of Southwest Harbor, Maine with the auction closing July 15, at 3:50 p.m. EDT.


2009 smart fortwo Cabrio

The smart fortwo has made for a surprisingly good canvas for tuners and modifiers since its introduction in 1998. High-end treatments from the likes of Brabus, as well as in-house with the bonkers Crossblade have explored the city car’s performance potential, while others have envisioned the fortwo as a safari build. This may be the first and only example of a “farm build.” This 2009 smart fortwo Cabrio began as a project to create a more versatile rancher’s UTV/cart. The love child of a Fiat Jolly and a John Deere Gator, it comes finished in John Deere Green with John Deere Yellow accents and features skeleton doors, bolt-on fender flares that accommodate 16″ Z54OR wheels wrapped in 50-series Flaken tires, and a roof-rack mounted John Deere cargo box. The cockpit features factory seats upholstered in tan. Modifications include a Kenwood infotainment system with backup camera and high-powered speakers as well as John Deere rubber floor mats. Power comes from 70-hp 1.0-liter Mitsubishi 3B2 inline-3, capable of a 90-mph top speed, mated to a 5-speed automated manual gearbox. Whether at work on the farm, or drawing a crowd at the next cars & coffee, there’s little doubt that nothing runs like this 2009 smart fortwo Cabrio John Deere tribute. Find it here on Hemmings in Yorba Linda, California at a what-to-call-it, where-to-price-it $25,000.

1993 Porsche 968 Club Sport

When production of the last Porsche “transaxle” car, the 968 ended in 1995, it represented the end of a line started almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the Porsche 924. Initially a sales success, by the time the 944 S2 (Series 2 or second generation) arrived in the late 80s, exchange rates, production costs, and competition from Japanese sports/GT cars no longer made financial sense. In addition, development of the upcoming Boxster had begun in 1992 and its widespread acclaim from press and public at the 1993 North American International Auto Show made the decision to phase out the transaxle cars far more palatable. It would not go quietly however. Saving what many consider to be the best for last, the 944 S3 would see over 80% of the 944 S2’s components new or modified. This was significant enough to give it a new model designation: the 968. Furthermore, production would move from Audi’s Neckarsulm plant—where production had been since the 924—to its rightful home on Zuffenhausen. It would finally be a true Porsche. As a point of emphasis, a year after the 968’s introduction at the 1991 Frankfurt Auto Show, Porsche created a varaint called the 968 Club Sport. As the name suggests, the Club Sport, or CS, was developed for club racing, i.e., a car that could be used as a daily driver, driven to the track for a club event on the weekend and driven home, fueled up and ready for the week ahead. Subtle queues differentiate it from a base 968: a small rear spoiler and 17″ Cup wheels. A keener eye might spot its 20mm lower ride height. Inside, the car was stripped down to its essentials. It was fitted as standard with slim bucket seats, but there was a no-cost option for the regular seats. There was no bench in the back. Moreover, instead of a big shelf above the trunk area, there was a thin piece of fabric. Manual (roll-up) windows replaced power ones. A radio and AC were no-cost options. The net gain—or loss to be more accurate—was around 200 lbs., making the already excellent handling 968 a serious track-day weapon. This 1993 Porsche 968 Club Sport is one of approximately 1,900 built during three years of production. It is a Belgian-market example that came from the larger Porsche collection of the original owner. It was purchased and relocated to the US earlier this year by the seller. Essentially a one owner car, It is finished in Black, believed to be original. The Cup wheels are [thankfully] not color-matched, as most are, and the power sunroof option was left unchecked, another rarity. The cabin features Recaro bucket seats with body-color shells trimmed in Black cloth with color-coordinating door panels and carpeting, as well as an aftermarket stereo. Power comes from a 237-hp 3.0-liter inline-4 with VarioCam variable valve timing mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. Displaying 43,500 documented miles at the time of listing, a full service was performed at Porsche in Belgium late last year where all fluids, filters, spark plugs were changed, and a full set of tires (Michelin Pilot Sports) were installed. A large history file including the original purchase invoice and all maintenance from day one accompanies the sale, along with a clear US title with all taxes and duties paid. This 1993 Porsche 968 Club Sport is being offered for sale here at The Mart (Porsche Club of America Classifieds) at an asking price of $100,000.


1970 Plymouth Superbird

The 1960s was a competitive time for NASCAR, with Ford/Mercury and Dodge/Plymouth dueling it out for the top spots in the series. At this time, cars competing in the NASCAR series were modified versions of road cars sold to the public, with companies required to sell more than 500 cars to compete in the series. The standard recipe for improving performance was to make the engine larger and consequently produce more horsepower, though most of the cars were at their performance limits and did not handle well at high speeds. In 1969, Ford introduced the Torino Talladega and similar Mercury Cyclone, beginning the ‘aero wars’ era of NASCAR. These cars incorporated a slightly longer, more aerodynamic front end, giving them a significant advantage over other cars in the class, especially on longer ‘super-speedways’ where the cars could reach a higher top speed. With such an advantage, Ford was able to pull superstar driver Richard Petty away from Plymouth for the 1969 season. Plymouth needed to act quickly to remain competitive. Chrysler utilized employees from their missile division in engineering the Plymouth Superbird and its sister car, the Dodge Daytona. Aerodynamicist Gary Romberg refined the now-iconic extended nose cone and enormous rear wing. Dodge General Manager, Rob McCurry called the design the ugliest car he had ever seen, though when the designers guaranteed the car would win, he signed off to put the Charger Daytona and Road Runner Superbird into production. The car was able to lure Richard Petty back to Plymouth’s NASCAR team, leading to the iconic #43 Superbird that was so dominant that year. The Daytona and Superbird won 33 out of 48 races they competed in during the 1970 season, but unfortunately, NASCAR regulations changed, and the cars were essentially outlawed prior to the 1971 season. This 1970 Plymouth SuperBird—unit number 1480—is one of the few that originally left the assembly line in the signature ‘Petty Blue’ paint finish, as well as a special-order black vinyl roof. Various parts of the Superbird’s recognizable appearance are featured, including the protruding front nose cone, front spoiler, ‘Plymouth’ and ‘Road Runner’ exterior decal, fender vents, and 15” Rally Wheels. Further adding to its allure is the 24” fixed rear wing, adorned with a signature by Richard Petty himself, who drove his Superbird to achieve eight race wins in the 1970 NASCAR season. This car features somewhat more civilized equipment, like power steering and power-assisted front brakes. Interior highlights include front bucket seats with black and white vinyl upholstery (and lap belts), color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets, wood-trimmed center console, wood trimmed dashboard, a 3-spoke steering wheel with ‘Road Runner’ horn button, an optional tachometer, and a 150-mph speedometer, a heater, and ‘Road Runner’ interior floor mats. A Pioneer AM/FM radio cassette has been added. Power comes from a 375-hp 440ci ‘Super Commando’ V8 with four-barrel carburetor, driving the rear wheels through a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission and a Sure-Grip rear differential. Showing 46,455 miles at the time of listing, this example benefits from a refurbishment carried out under a previous keeper, consisting of an exterior respray and mechanical overhaul. A replacement 440ci ‘Super Commando’ V8 was installed sometime in the early 1970s. Otherwise, the car largely retains its factory specification, aside from a custom-fabricated front hood featuring Super Bee-style center hood scoops previously installed. The original hood is included in the sale, along with the car’s original build (broadcast) sheet, factory literature, and associated period literature. This 1970 Plymouth Superbird is being sold here at SOMO by a dealer in Springfield, Missouri with the auction ending July 13, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. EDT.


2011 Bentley Continental GTC Supersports

In 1925 W.O. Bentley created a limited run, highly tuned Bentley 3 Litre called the Supersports, following the success of his Speed model in 1923. More than eight decades later the company revived both names with the first-generation Continental GT Speed in 2008 and Supersports in 2009. The Supersports began as an ‘under the radar’ project within Bentley’s Engineering Division, to see what effect reducing the weight of a Continental GT would have on performance. With the Board’s go-ahead, the new Supersports became the lightest and the most powerful of all first-generation Continental GT models. Following the introduction of the second generation (2011), a Superports model reappeared, making its public debut in 2017 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed when five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell took the wheel for the fabled hillclimb. Just 710 examples were built in celebration of its 710PS (700 hp) power output. Among those, 583 were GTC Convertibles and only 125 GTC Convertibles were destined for the US market. This 2011 Bentley Continental GTC Supersports is all the more special as it is finished in a striking St. James Red Pearlescent finish, a $10,000 factory option. In addition, it’s equipped with a Black convertible soft top with heated glass window, 20” Supersports forged alloy wheels dressed in Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 275/35, Smoked Steel front grilles and trim, Xenon headlights, a ventilated hood, W12 and Supersports fender badging, a fixed rear spoiler, and dual integrated exhaust outlets. The cabin is appointed in Beluga leather and Alcantara throughout with red-stitched diamond quilting and red piping, power-adjustable, heated, and massaging front seats with Supersports embroidery, a 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel with shift paddles, the Comfort Seat option, carbon fiber trim, a Breitling analog center stack clock, knurled chrome shift lever, aluminum pedals, Supersports door sill plates, multi-zone automatic climate control, an 8” touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, premium Naim for Bentley audio system, parking sensors, and rearview camera. Power comes from a 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 factory rated for 621 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque driving all four wheels through a 6-speed Quickshift automatic transaxle with a Torsen center differential. An adaptive air suspension with speed-sensitive ride height control and Continuous Damping Control let you know you’re in a Bentley. Stopping power comes from carbon ceramic cross-drilled brake rotors and Red-finished 8-piston front brake calipers with Bentley branding. Displaying 3,415 miles at the time of listing, its recent service history includes an engine coolant and brake fluid flush, oil change, and check of the battery system and tires in February 2024. With the owner’s manual, a battery trickle charger, Continental Supersports order books, a valet key, and factory build sheet, this 2011 Bentley Continental GTC Supersports is listed here on SBX Cars out of Sarasota, Florida with six days remaining in the auction.

1966 Porsche 911

The Porsche 911 was introduced to the world (as the 901 prior to objections from Peugeot) in the fall of 1963 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It was developed as a replacement for the highly successful Porsche Model 356. It was larger, more powerful, more comfortable, and, chiefly, powered by a 130-hp 2.0-liter flat-6, which, along with its MacPherson strut suspension, made it more competitive on the track than any other comparable car on the market at the time. This 1966 Porsche 911 Coupe was completed at the factory on April 29, 1966. It was cquired by renowned automotive enthusiast, collector, and customizer Magnus Walker in the mid-2000s. The car received a light restoration along with select modifications under his ownership. It was subsequently exported to Europe in 2010 for additional restoration work before returning to the U.S. in 2023. It is finished in Grand Prix White from its factory-specified Light Ivory paint. It was originally optioned with a Webasto gasoline heater. Details include chrome trim, pop-out quarter windows, a driver-side mirror, chrome push-button door handles, and gold rear lettering with an angled “911” badge offset to the right of the decklid. This example has been modified with black Porsche-lettered side stripes, 911R-style bumpers, H4 headlights, and custom center-mounted exhaust outlets. Upgraded 15” Fuchs wheels come dressed in Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 tires. The cabin is appointed with black upholstery and Pepita cloth seat inserts. Modifications include GTS Classics Le Mans bucket seats, Scroth Racing harnesses, a leather-wrapped MOMO Jackie Stewart steering wheel, a bolt-in roll bar, and a rear seat delete. Period-correct details comprise the woodgrain dashboard trim, a wooden gear knob, and a 911 badge ahead of the passenger’s seat. The glovebox door bears a personalized signature from Magnus Walker, inscribed during a 2014 Porsche gathering at the Nürburgring, “Get out and drive – Pedal to the metal, Cheers Magnus Walker, 2010.” Power comes from a period-correct 2.0-liter flat-six engine rebuilt in 2024 and upgraded with MSD ignition. The rear wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual transaxle, which is said to remain original to the vehicle. The seller states that while in Europe, the vehicle received restoration work performed at a Copenhagen-based Porsche dealership, and detailed receipts of the work carried out between 2017 and 2019 will accompany the sale along with additional service records and a clear title. It’s listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in St. Louis with four days left to bid.


2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Arguably the most beautiful of modern Ferraris, the 599 GTB Fiorano upped the sky-high ante of its neo-classic predecessor, the 575M Maranello with a brilliant, Enzo-derived V-12 and dramatic, all-aluminum Jason Castriota-designed Pininfarina bodywork. Combining traditional Ferrari gran turismo proportions with 21st-century technique, the Fiorano balanced aggression and elegance, much of which is credited to brilliant C-pillar “sails” contributing to considerable downforce while preserving an uncluttered profile. The 599 was equally adept at canyon carving or continent crushing, depending on which mode was selected on its steering wheel-mounted manettino switch. According to Ferrari, the 599 GTB can sprint to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 205 mph. This 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano has been registered mostly in Washington state and Colorado since new. It is finished in a highly desirable Blu Tour de France and comes factory equipped with Magnetorheological semi-active dampers. It’s been modified with 599 GTO-style 20″ wheels, and aftermarket front lip spoiler, and carbon fiber-look fender shields. The cabin is fully upholstered in Cuoio leather extending over the carbon-fiber sport seats, center console, headliner, and rear parcel shelf. It is appointed with Blue carpeting, a Bose® premium sound system, and a 60th Anniversary plaque (Matricola № 156380). An aftermarket stereo head unit has been installed. Power comes from a 6.0-liter V12, rated at 612 hp and 448 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed ‘F1’ automated transmission. With 32,980 miles shown at the time of listing, recent maintenance includes removal of paint protection film removed, paint touchup, repair of a leak, replacement of parking sensor, door striker, clutch and accosciated hardware, front lower ball joints, and parking brake pads, along with an inspection at 31,191 miles. Service documents accompany the sale along with two keys (books, toolkit, and tire change kit missing or not pictured). With an entertaining review by Kennan Rolsen, this 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is for sale here on Cars & Bids in New Orleans with the auction closing July 9, 2025 at 1:25 p.m.


1962 BMW 700 Coupé

The BMW 700 was an enormously important part of the company’s history. By the 1950s, the small front-opening Isettas and 600s no longer met European motorists’ growing demands for comfort and performance, forcing the Munich-based company to take corrective action. Built with an innovative monocoque construction, the 700 sported modern and pleasing lines, designed by Giovanni Michelotti and finalized by Wilhelm Hofmeister, creator of the unmistakable design that would distinguish BMWs in the years to come. The rear-mounted twin-cylinder boxer engine, capable of 30 hp, combined with a weight of only 640 kg, gave it lively performance. Spacious and elegant, the 700 did not enjoy great sales success in Italy due to its very high cost. That makes this 1962 BMW 700 Coupé particularly rare and valuable. It has belonged to a Roman family since new and still equipped with its original number plates and registration documents. The bodywork, solid and correct, has been repainted in its original color, while all chrome appears bright and shiny, including the bumpers. Headlights are crystal-clear and intact. The original exterior trim, lettering and badges all appear to be present and in good condition. The car rides on painted steel wheels with chrome hubcaps. The underbody is reportedly in good condition, with some localized traces of minor surface corrosion. The interior presents well, with a two-tone dashboard and seats restored to their original specification. The driver’s side door panel has been replaced, respecting the original specifications. High-quality carpets are said to be excellent condition. Finishes, switches and accessories appear to be in very good condition. Instrumentation is well readable and efficient. Headlining is undamaged and well stretched. With 82,318 kilometers shown on a 5-digit odometer at the time of listing, the car is said to have been carefully maintained with a recent service and calibration. Sheet metal cover under the engine compartment is currently missing and the seller points out that some mechanical details may need tuning or replacement, but that this 1962 BMW 700 Coupé works properly and is pleasant to drive. It can be found here at Car & Classic in the Province of Pisa, Italy with the auction ending July 13, 2025 at 1:10 p.m. EDT.

1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S Vesuvio Edition

The arrival of the 993 generation 911 marked a return to basic Porsche principles while integrating modern styling. It was, at launch, the most advanced 911 to date, marrying the spirit and DNA of the original 911 with far superior (and more forgiving) suspension geometry and handling dynamics. Powered by the last of the air-cooled flat-6 engines, the 993 remains highly sought after, and continuing a tradition that makes some 911s more sought after than others, special editions of the 993 were offered. This 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S is one of a reported 60 Vesuvio editions. Starting with an already desirable ‘S’ model featuring wide bodywork and a stiffer and lowered suspension, the Vesuvio Editions included a special Vesuvio Grey metallic paint [L40X], painted Steel Grey door handles, mirrors, and split grill inserts. Originally delivered in Germany, it was reportedly maintained by two owners, with the second owner caring for the car over a 16-year period. Following its acquisition by the third and current owner, the car was imported to the United States in 2024. Equipment includes European-specification bumpers, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and refinished 18″ solid-spoke Turbo Twist wheels. Modifications include fog light brake duct inserts, wide oval exhaust outlets, and a lowered suspension with H&R coilovers. The seller notes that bodywork was performed on the right rear fender and possibly the left front. A paint correction and ceramic coating have been applied, and recent work includes resealing the windshield and door handles, replacing the headlight lenses, completing a polish, and refinishing the mirrors, door handles, and rear grille in the factory-correct Steel Gray paint. The cabin features 8-way power-operated and heated front seats, upholstered in Black leather. Equipment includes a sunroof, a leather-wrapped four-speaker steering wheel, power windows, and air conditioning. The seller notes that a Blaupunkt radio with Bluetooth connectivity, a replacement shifter, and stainless steel door sills with “Carrera S” designations have been installed. Some minor imperfections are noted. The replacement air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine is factory-rated at 282 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the included warranty booklet is stamped by a Porsche Center in Germany confirming the engine replacement at 107,000 kilometers. Now showing 154,207 kilometers (95,820 miles), recent maintenance includes a top-end reseal with new chain cover gaskets, upper and lower valve cover gaskets, ignition coils, wires, distributor caps, and rotors. Additional service included an oil change, air conditioning system recharge, a new climate control unit, and a compression test with results ranging from 180 to 185 PSI. Performance upgrades consist of a Fister short-shift kit paired with a Golden Rod, as well as a full FVD Brombacher exhaust system with a cross-pipe and catalytic converter delete. A recent dry ice cleaning has also been completed. This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, a toolkit, and sales literature. It’s listed on PCARMARKET by its owner in Long Beach, California with six days left to bid.


1981 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series III

Few cars have caused such a stir in the automotive world as the Lamborghini Countach, and the man responsible for the outrageous design was a then relatively inexperienced Marcello Gandini of Bertone. Unconstrained by trivial matters like user friendliness or ergonomics, Gandini let his imagination run wild for the Countach. Low, wide, and angular, it changed the design ethos for nearly every supercar that followed. The first production model of the Countach was the LP400 “Periscopo,” distinguished by the roof-mounted periscope slot designed to improve rear visibility. The LP400 was produced from 1974 until 1978, with 150 built. In 1978, a new LP400 S model was introduced. The most radical changes were on the exterior, with it wheels arch extensions to accommodate 345/35R15 Pirelli P7 tires, the widest tires available on a production car at the time. This fundamental look helped to make the Countach a bedroom poster icon and carried through until the end of the its production run. There were three distinct series of the LP400 S. The Series One cars are identified by their Campagnolo “Bravo” wheels and lowered (low-body) suspension. Series Two carried over the low body but with smooth finish dished/concave wheels. Series Three are recognized by a raised suspension. This 1981 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S, Chassis № 1121316, is the third Series III LP400 S built out of just 82 examples and the first delivered to a private customer. Originally ordered through Achilli Motors of Milano by a member of the Saudi Royal Family, 1121316 was finished in a distinctive Verde Chiaro Metallizzato over Khaki leather with green carpeting. It remains one of only two known Countach examples in this color. Its second owner, a respected Swedish Lamborghini collector, drove 1121316 as his personal car before commissioning a full restoration in the Sant’Agata area. The work was completed by former factory craftsmen, some of whom had built the car in period, under the direction of Lamborghini’s longtime factory workshop manager, who had spent four decades with the company. The factory also issued the car its Certificato D’Origine. After the full restoration in 2015 it was shown at the 2021 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it earned First in Class honors in the Countach class.Now showing approximately 6,000 kilometers from new, This 1981 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series III is accompanied by its original owner’s manual and full restoration documentation. In addition, it has been submitted to Polo Storico for certification. It is being offered for sale at Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami at a price upon inquiry.


2000 Ferrari 360 Modena

Entering production in 1999, the Ferrari 360 Modena was a clean-sheet design that anticipated trends for future Ferrari road cars. Combining the two opposing goals of low weight and high chassis rigidity, Maranello engineers seemingly pulled off the impossible, resulting in the best overall performance and handling of any mid-engined Ferrari to date. The 360 Modena was the Ferrari to be constructed entirely in aluminium, with the chassis, bodyshell, and suspension wishbones all made from the lightweight material. At its heart lay a 395-hp, 3.6-litre Tipo F131 V-8 engine with a choice of a gated 6-speed manual or the innovative-for-its-time “F1” automated manual transmission. This 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena came factory equipped with the more desirable 6-speed manual. Finished in Grigio Alloy, a partial list of notable equipment includes 18″ alloy wheels, a limited-slip differential, and Xenon headlights.

1989 Porsche 911 Classic Turbo Reimagined by Singer

Looking to continue their tried-and-true design ethos following the conclusion of Classic Study production, Singer Vehicle Design’s Classic Turbo was introduced in 2022 to answer the question, “How might the DNA of Porsche’s first ‘Supercar’ evolve for the modern era?” Like the Classic Study, the Classic Turbo is based upon the 964-generation 911 utilizing the 3.8-liter Mezger air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine, fitted with twin turbochargers to produce either 450 or 500 brake horsepower depending on customer specification, and mated to a six-speed manual transmission. As one would expect, the car’s bespoke bodywork is crafted from carbon fiber, keeping the iconic silhouette of the 930-generation 911 Turbo but optimizing the bodywork for enhanced airflow and downforce. Furthermore, the Classic Turbo is fitted with brakes specific to the Classic Turbo model, as well as ABS and traction control. Recently completed by Singer, this Turbo Study—dubbed ‘The East Hampton Commission’ by the consignor who commissioned the car—is a truly stunning example of one of Singer’s most anticipated creations. Having been driven just under 500 miles from new, the car presents in exceptional condition throughout, ready to be enjoyed by its fortunate new custodian. The East Hampton Commission features the classic Turbo body shape with a whale tail spoiler and sunroof. The East Hampton Commission’s color scheme is perfectly suited to the character of the Classic Turbo and is what makes the car come alive. The paintwork is a paint-to-sample color called Black Eye Darker and is protected by Singer-fitted paint protection film on the lower rocker panels and rear fender fins. Exterior accents and mirror arms are finished in satin carbon as to not detract from the paintwork, alongside all the brightwork finished in satin black. The brake calipers and the trademark center fuel filler cap are painted to match the bodywork. Finally, the car is outfitted with a heated rear windscreen and standard equipment titanium muffler, the Singer rear decklid script is forged in solid brass, and the bumperettes were deleted. The cabin is upholstered in Bone (light beige) leather interior, trimmed with satin bronze brightwork, black wood décor trim, and the floating gauges in rose gold. The headlining is trimmed in perforated ivory Alcantara alongside carpentry in ivory velour to match. Outfitted with Singer’s premium audio system, the interior also boasts an inductive phone charger. Importantly, the car is accompanied by a Singer Flytrack Chronograph engraved with a matching serial number to the car, which will be included in the sale. The car is fitted with steel Brembo brakes, and the Fuchs-style wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Mechanically, the engine produces 500 brake hp and the car is fitted with adjustable suspension, nose lift, titanium muffler, and six-speed manual transmission. This car benefits from the balance of its Singer Vehicle Design warranty and the new owner will benefit from the option of a handover at Singer’s, Torrance, California, headquarters. One of the company’s most anticipated creations, this 1989 Porsche 911 Classic Turbo Reimagined by Singer is open for sealed bids here at RM Sotheby’s until July 17, 2025.


2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage

In 1987, Ford Motor Company bought a controlling share, and later all shares of Aston Martin. This was due to Aston Martin needing long term funding to survive and just a few years earlier producing an all time low of just 30 production cars in a year. The brand was hurting and it’s former glory stripped by the stark reality of possibly going out of business. Although, with Ford’s new interest in the company, Aston Martin’s future was looking up. The V8 Vantage, the staple of Aston Martin’s previous designs, was retired from production after 12 years of production. In 1988 the new Virage took center stage, which initially took off in sales, but by the later half of the 1990s ceased production due to a lack of public interest. Ford had already put it’s large investment in the brand in hopes of seeing it turn around, but it seemed as though it was a failed plan, this made Ford distrust Aston Martin’s plea for more funding for future projects. While this hardship further caused Aston Martin to struggle to come up with something new under the supervision of Ford, It also allowed for innovation in a time of dire need. Enter the DB7, designed by Ian Callum. The prototype was completed in 1992, with the car beginning production in 1994, it takes inspiration from the past icons of the marque, moving away from its boxy older siblings and reintroducing the curvy, aerodynamic forms of the DB5 and DB6. Aston Martin was still tight on money while developing the DB7, internally known as project XX, as such they sourced many of the parts and chassis from other brands owned by Ford. This brought down development costs and allowed for more focus on production efficiency. Originally the DB7 was outfitted with a 3.2 liter supercharged straight six. Later In 1999, the Vantage was released, with a powerful 12 cylinder and more burly design features such as a bigger front grille, new fog and indicator lights, as well as the choice of wood veneer or carbon fiber facia panels. This 2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, Chassis № SCFAB2236YK300368, has had five owners from new, and is believed to be the 368th out of the 1,477 Vantages produced. It was ordered in Aston Martin Racing Green over fern/parchment interior and delivered new by Aston Martin of Troy, Michigan, to the first owner in Oklahoma. According to the original window sticker copy on file, the first owner ordered this DB7 with a highly desirable 6-speed manual gearbox, premium audio system, carbon fiber sports steering wheel, carbon fiber veneers, parchment leather seat backs, white dials, parchment leather headlining, a cup holder, manual drilled pedal pads in a matt finish, and a carbon fiber gear shift knob all of these choices amounting to a sporting-oriented grand tourer. Offered with detailed service records, this example has been thoroughly maintained and well kept having been serviced with all issues involving Aston Martin part recalls taken care of. Accompanied by both keys, original manuals, tool kit, spare, and available service records, this 2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage is available for sale here at LBI Limited in Philadelphia, offered at $65,000. 


1972 Citroën SM

Launched as Citroën’s flagship grand tourer, the SM offers innovative French engineering with Italian performance, combining a Maserati-built 2.7-liter V6 engine, front-wheel drive, and Citroën’s signature hydropneumatic suspension. Aerodynamic styling by Robert Opron, featured a long hood, steeply raked windshield, and a Kamm tail, with a narrower rear track than the front. This 1972 Citroën SM is finished in what appears to be original Metallic Sand paint and comes equipped with US-specification quad headlights and turn signals, bright bumpers, a driver’s side mirror, rear fender skirts, polished trim, and dual exhaust outlets. It rides on 15” steel wheels with polished stainless-steel covers and older Pirelli P4000 Super Touring tires. A European-style rear license plate light has been added, and the seller notes minor paint bubbling in some areas. The cabin is trimmed in black leather upholstery covering the front bucket seats, rear bench, and door panels. Equipment includes Jaeger instrumentation, a suspension-height control lever mounted to the left of the driver’s seat, air conditioning, power windows, and a push-button AM/FM radio. The seller notes minor tears on the door panels and seats. All gauges and electronics are reported to function properly, except for the tachometer, which is inoperative due to the electronic ignition conversion. Power comes from a Maserati-built 2.7-liter V6 engine equipped with dual overhead camshafts and three Weber twin-choke carburetors, generating a factory-rated 180 HP and 172 lb-ft of torque. The front wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual transmission. Mechanical features include a fully independent hydropneumatic suspension with self-leveling and adjustable ride height, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes with inboard front rotors, and power-assisted DIRAVI rack-and-pinion steering. Displaying 73,612 miles on a 5-digit odometer, noteworthy recent service includes a rotary-style A/C compressor conversion, full fluid replacement, carburetor rebuild, and a comprehensive service of the hydraulic systems. This 1972 Citroën SM is newly listed on PCARMARKET by a dealer in Fort Lauderdale.

1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

The highlight of the Geneva Motor Show that year, Porsche debuted its 944 Turbo in 1985. Now with 217 hp, the 944 had the performance to match its exceptional handling, leaving behind any doubt that this was a “real” Porsche. The Turbo was distinguished by aerodynamic improvements such as a revised front end with integrated fog lights and main beam, removal of the Black rubber buffers, and a color-matched rear diffuser affixed below the rear bumper. The car was lauded for its balance, poise, and livability, securing accolade after accolade from magazines. In its March 1985 issue, Car magazine said “for effortless driving pleasure and near perfect roadability, take the 944 Turbo. It is the better car” when comparing it head-to-head with its older sibling, the 911 Carrera. It continues to charm today, with Jeremy Clarkson stating, “… if I were to draw up a list of the 10 best cars I’ve ever driven, the 944 Turbo would certainly be included.” This 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo has charmed its sole owner since new. Garage-kept, it came finished in Black (L041) and riding on factory 16″ Phone Dial alloy wheels wrapped in Hankook Ventus V2 concept2 tires from 2022 at the front and 2016 at the rear. Options include side protection moldings and a rear window wiper. The exterior is described as being in excellent condition, apart from minor imperfections consistent with age and mileage. The cabin is appointed in Black partial leather upholstery. Equipment includes power windows, electrically adjustable seats, a digital clock, air conditioning, and an aftermarket stereo system. The seller notes that the original Blaupunkt Monterey SQR 23 cassette radio will be included in the sale. Two very slight cracks are noted on the dashboard near the windshield, and all gauges and electronics are confirmed to be in proper working order. Showing 49,700 miles at the time of listing, routine maintenance has been performed, including the requiiste replacement of the timing belt, water pump, and gaskets within the last three years by Potzinger ReWerks in Huntington Station, New York. Extensive records accompany the sale, along with the owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, an air pump, sales literature, and a clean title. This one-owner 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo is listed on PCARMARKET by a private party in Huntington, New York with five days left to bid.


1986 Ferrari 328 GTS

The Ferrari 308 left more than a generational impact beginning with its Paris Auto Show debut in 1973. Its Pininfarina design continued through the 328 to become one of the longest-serving of any sired by the Modena marque, running through model year 1989. The 308 and later 328’s staying power buffered more than just sales. The 308 / 328 saw Ferrari through a swan-song of pre-unibody construction while introducing world markets to fuel injection and antilock braking. Starting from the 308’s trim three-liter V8, the 328’s bump in displacement added 50 horsepower to a total of 260 through the end of production. Available in GTB or GTS targa configuration, the 308 / 328 remains, in many’s eyes, synonymous with “Ferrari”. Equally synonymous is the shade of Rosso Corsa, found on this 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS. It comes from the 22-year stewardship of its current owner, who reports the car to be in “virtually flawless” condition. The paintwork is original, with the exception of a repainted front bumper. The other exterior trim and the removable roof panel also appear in very good condition. The black leather interior shows very well, with minimal apparent wear. All the interior elements are believed to be original, except the radio. Ferrari equipped 328 models with speakers at the factory, but not a radio head unit; thus an Alpine CD radio has been fitted to this car. Power comes from the original 3.2-liter “Quattrovalvole” DOHC V8 mated to a 5-speed gated manual gearbox. According to the seller, the engine received a belt service in late 2022. Displaying 27,178 miles at the time of listing, no operational issues or leaks are reported with the powertrain. Extensive service records and additional paperwork are included, along with the owner’s manual, tool roll, and jack. Find this 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS in Lake Oswego, Oregon here on Hemmings, with the auction closing July 2, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. EDT.


1926 Ford Model T Speedster

First introduced by Henry Ford in 1908, the Model T revolutionized the auto industry as the first car built using moving assembly lines, making it affordable for the average American. By the time production ended in 1927, the Model T had seen numerous updates, though its basic design remained largely the same. These changes were Ford’s response to increasing competition from Chevrolet and other manufacturers offering more stylish and comfortable alternatives. Despite the improvements, the Model T was beginning to feel outdated. Its rugged simplicity made it perfect for rural drivers, but urban buyers were looking for more refinement. As sales declined, Ford finally ended production in 1927 after selling over 15 million units. or speed enthusiasts, however, a stripped-down used “Tin Lizzie” was often the car of choice. With the body removed, even the stock 20-horsepower engine could provide a thrilling ride. Add-on performance parts from a growing aftermarket made the Model T Speedster a genuine contender—one even placed fifth in the 1923 Indianapolis 500. This particular 1926 Ford Model T Speedster was purchased by the seller in 2005. It was reportedly used by a local farmer up until the early 1970s and purchased by the seller’s father, who stored it in the barn until the early ’80s. A father-son restoration took place over the following 2½ years, turning the car into a sporty speedster. During this time the original matching-numbers motor and transmission, along with the axles and torque tube, survived the rebuild.The car feautres the polished brass radiator, lights, and trim from 1908 – 1916 models, along with a “Monocle” windshield, wood “artillery” wheels, a rear-mounted spare tire, storage compartment, brass Ford script running board plate, a brass Boyce MotoMeter, electric headlights, electric taillight, and electric Klaxon horn. The cockpit is appointed with Blue leather upholstery. Power comes from a 177 cu-in Inline-4 with electric start rated at 20 hp, mated to a 2-speed planetary transmission. Rear drum brakes handle stopping. Minor imperfections include paint chips, a leak in the engine oil pan and the rear end, and some interior wear consistent with use. Nevertheless, it remains highly presentable at local car shows and parades. With a screw jack, hand tools, a 1926 license plate, an oil can, and some small spare parts, this 1926 Ford Model T Speedster is for sale at Hagerty Marketplace in Batesville, Illinois with seven days remaining in the auction.

2007 Porsche 911 Targa 4

If you were to ask a Porsche enthusiast which generation 911 is considered “the best,” you will likely get the answer, “all of them.” Having said that, the sweet spot may lie in the minds of many eyes with the 997. It was the last to use hydraulic steering and the last to feature normally aspirated engines in their Carrera and Carrera S models. It provided enough of the comforts and technology that had been steadily increasing since the original short-wheelbase 911s without becoming what some would say is too large. Gone were the contoversial “fried egg” headlights of the previosus generation, in favor of a treatment more akin to the popular 993. Buyers seemed to agree as the 997 remains the most commercially successful 911 of all time, selling over 200,000 coupes, cabriolets and Targas during its production run. The Targa model carried over the sliding panoramic “greenhouse” roof that began with the 993. While 993 Targas continue to command values on par with their fixed-roof counterparts, the 997-generation Targas have, until lately, have not held the same appeal. This 2007 Porsche 911 Targa 4, like an example that recently sold for $140,000, is finished in an attractive dark green, this one Forest Green Metallic. It comes well equipped with a desirable 6-speed manual gearbox, rain-sensing wipers, front and rear fog lights, heated headlamp washers, and heated side mirrors. The cabin is appointed with Sand Beige leather upholstery, Sport Seats, automatic climate control, and a premium sound system with MP3 playback. With two personal owners covering 46,759 miles at the time of listing, its history shows consistent maintenance, most of it by a Porsche Center. It’s now being offered for sale by Porsche San Luis Obispo at what could prove to a a bargain $89,988.


1959 Chevrolet El Camino

Following the popularity of the Hudson Terraplane and Big Boy of the ’30s and ’40s, and perhaps more critically the Ford Ranchero introduced in 1958, Chevrolet answered a year later with their own “coupe utility” (or simply “ute” for those Down Under), the El Camino. Chevrolet called it a personal pickup and depicted it as “more than a car — more than a truck.” The El Camino, or “Elko” in forum vernacular, had the general styling of the 1959 Impala, but with a ½-ton cargo capacity. The box had a volume of nearly 34 cubic feet, was of double-wall design and had built-in steel skid strips. This 1959 Chevrolet EL Camino underwent a rotisserie restoration, finished in classic black and white two-tone, and equipped with power brakes (recently rebuilt) and power steering. Minor scratches, touch-ups, small dents are noted, along with a few bubbles and a crack on the hood. A Black-&-White Houndstooth cloth interior is reportedly in excellent condition and features VintageAir A/C and heating. Under the hood is the car’s original 348ci V8, now topped with a 3×2-barrel carburetor setup and recently rebuilt in 2024. Included is a super rare factory air cleaner specific to this configuration. Originally equipped with a column-shift 3-speed, it now features a rebuilt period-correct 3-speed manual paired with a Borg Warner R10 overdrive unit, installed in 2023. A new clutch and resurfaced flywheel were also added. Since restoration, it has won numerous trophies and plaques at shows across the country—including awards for Longest Distance Driven, thanks to a dedicated owner who wasn’t afraid to enjoy it on the open road. It’s now listed here at ACC Auctions by a dealer in Lenexa, Kansas with two days left to bid.


1974 Volkswagen 1600 TL

After mastering the idea of utilitarian people’s cars with the Type 1 Beetle and Type 2 Transporter, Volkswagen went decidedly upscale with the Type 3, introduced in 1961. Key features of the Type 3 included a central tube platform frame, a torsion bar suspension and the Beetle’s 45-hp air-cooled rear engine, but with a re-designed cooling system that packaged it as a flat “pancake,” allowing for more interior space and a cargo area above the motor. In 1969, displacement was increased to 1,600 cc. It was offered in three varaints: the Sqareback wagon, a nothback sedan, and the Fastback, also known as TL (touring limousine). As with other air-cooled models from Wolfsburg, Volkswagen do Brasil had their own interpretaion of the Type 3. What became the Brazilian 1600 was originally developed as the prototype EA97 in Germany to be a new VW model to either slot in between the Beetle and the new T3, or possibly replace the Beetle altogether. EA97 was scrapped, although at least two exist, one in the VW Museum.Bluepronts and whatever tooling there was were shipped to their rapidly growing operations in Brazil, which was wanting a more upscale model. Supposedly, the ship that carried the machines/tooling sunk near the shore of Brazil. Initially offered as a sedan with the Type 1’s motor taking up the rear boot, the TL arrived in 1970 with the Type 3’s pancake. In 1972, the 1600 was given a new front end, quite similar to the German 412. This 1974 Volkswagen 1600 TL has been refinished in Orange paint and is accented with chrome brightwork and bumpers. The inteiror is upholstered in gray vinyl and appointed with bucket seats, a floor-mounted manual shifter, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a padded dash. MInor blemishes are noted on the exterior while the interior shows some wear.  Showing 40,731 kilometers (25,309 miles) at the time of listing (title reads mileage exempt), the car rides on 15″ Empi wheels dressed in low-profile 195/50 tires. This Brazilian born 1974 Volkswagen 1600 TL is listed here on AutoHunter by the seller in Santa Ana, California with a clear title.

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S

On May 7, 2004, Porsche announced what would become one of the most beloved—and the best selling—generations of the 911 of all time. It marked the return to the classic 911 styling after the 996’s “fried egg” look. The 997 represented a significant relaunch of the 911 that included a major body restyling and interior update, while using much of the rolling chassis of the outgoing 996. Two versions were available from the launch, the Carrera with a 325-hp 3.6 and the 3.8 S with an extra 30 hp. The Carrera S was good for 0 – 60 mph in 4.3 seconds on its way to a 182 mph top speed. As with all new 911s, both offered a better package than the previous models, and the restyle in particular gave the 997 a more classic attractiveness that was arguably missing on the 996. The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) screen became standard. The new Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) was standard on the S version and optional for the base 911. Pressing the “sport” button made the PASM shock absorbers firmer. This specification remained largely unchanged for the cars built until June 2008. Now referred to as 997.1, they were replaced by the 997.2 for the 2009 model year. The engines were changed from the faithful Mezger type to a DFI unit (Direct Fuel Injection) with the power increased to 355 hp and 385 hp respectively. Other changes included some minor body tweaks to the bumpers, wheel designs and wing mirrors as well as introducing LED front running lights and LED rear light units. Today, the 997.2, particularly in S trim, represents the sweet spot of the 911’s water-cooled era: modern power but with a decidedly analog feel and manageable size at an attainable price. This 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S comes finished in seldom-seen Cream White [51A] and nicely equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox, PASM Sports Suspension Package, PCCB Ceramic Composite Brakes, and Dynamic Cornering Lights. The Full Leather Sand Beige interior features heated Sport Seats, Sport Chrono Plus, a Navigation Module for PCM, Bluetooth, Bose® High-end Sound, XM, Universal Audio Interface, and color-matched Floor Mats. Aftermarket modifications include a Tubi exhaust, hand-crafted wood shift knob, and lowering springs. Displaying 77,456 miles at the time of listing, extensive service records accompany the sale, along with a clean title and Carfax report showing minor hail damage sustained in 2019 (since repaired), This 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S can be found for sale at HCC Specialyy Cars in Dallas, Texas at an asking price of $74,900.


1981 Volkswagen Rabbit LS

Introduced in 1974 as an evolution the original people’s car, the Type 1 Beetle, the Golf was more of a revolution for Volkswagen. Instead of an aft-mounted, air-cooled engine driving the rear wheels, the Golf had a water-cooled, front engine powering the front wheels. Its Giugiaro-designed hatchback body was a full eight inches shorter, but vastly more roomy than the Beetle. The single-overhead-cam four wasn’t particularly innovative, with a belt-driven camshaft and non-crossflow head, but its 1,471 ccs (90 cubic inches) were more than capable of pulling the 1,970 pounds around just about anywhere its front wheels would take it. A year later it was introduced in the US as the Rabbit, and, in 1981, it began being built here in Pennsylvania, now powered by a 1,588 cc motor with fuel injection, putting out 75 hp. This 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit, finished in Royal Red (LE3C), is an “upscale” LS model equipped with chrome bumpers with black bumperettes, round sealed-beam headlights, polished wheel arch trim, dual side mirrors, black side moldings with integrated chrome accents, and it rides on factory 13″ steel wheels with hubcaps. The seller states the body presents well for its age, with no visible rust, although there are minor scratches around the door handles and body panels. The cabin features tan vinyl upholstery, matching carpeting and door panels, and a replacement headliner. Accessories include a four-spoke steering wheel, manual crank windows, and a factory AM/FM radio. The seller notes that while the air conditioning system is currently inoperative, the OEM compressor is present, and the system does blow air. The oxygen sensor warning light is illuminated, although all other electronics and gauges are reported to function properly. A 3-speed automatic transmission handles gear changes while the chassis is equipped with MacPherson strut front suspension and a semi-independent torsion beam rear axle. Braking power is facilitated by front discs and rear drums. Showing 22,043 miles at the time of listing, the car reportedly drives well and is used regularly, however the seller recommends testing and tuning the fuel distributor for optimal performance. This sale will include the owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, an air pump, a sales brochure, sales documents, and a clean title.

1953 Bristol 403

After helping Britain win the war with their storied aircraft, the Bristol Aeroplane Company began producing cars in 1947. Already having a relationship with BMW, Bristol got started by basically taking a pre-war BMW 328 car design, which they modified over the years to create desirable motor cars that compete with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce. The hand-formed aluminum body was designed by Touring in Italy and features Superleggera construction (a steel skeleton frame with the body placed over it). The 403 features rack-and-pinion steering. 12-volt electrics (positive ground), electric wipers, oversized Alfin aluminum finned drum brakes at each corner, and a smooth aerodynamic body with flush door buttons and integrated bumpers. The 403 was made from 1953 through 1955 with a total production of about 300 cars, and considerably fewer built to left-hand drive spec. This Bristol Red 1953 Bristol 403 is one of just six cars Bristol sold in the US in 1953. The interior features a wood dash with a full complement of gauges, high-quality leather seating, a ceiling-mounted radio speaker, and a steering wheel with yoke-style hand grips. It’s been said that no two Bristols are alike, since they were built to order for the buyer. Power comes from a 2-liter inline six cylinder with domed piston and hemi-head construction fed by a trio of Solex carbs. A four-speed manual transmission with freewheel first gear sends 100 hp to the rear wheels. An Enot ‘one-shot’ lubrication system keeps suspension components lubed. Showing 57,010 miles (five-digit odometer) at the time of listing, over $40,000 of work by vintage specialists was recently performed. It includes five new Vredestein tires, a complete valve job and valve adjustment, new fuel pump, starter, engine mounts, and a complete brake system overhaul. The suspension has received new kingpins, wheel bearings and axle seals along with new leather gaiters. A host of additional tweaks and corrections have also been performed.Included with this car is the original owner’s manual, factory workshop manual, spare keys, an SD card with hundreds of photos documenting recent work and a binder full of receipts and records plus correspondence with the Bristol factory from the original owner. This 1958 Bristol 403 is now being sold by GR Auto Gallery in Grand Rapids, Michigan at an asking price of $69,900.

1978 Porsche 928

If you read the Stuttgart Market Letter (and you should), you may have noted that 2025 may end up to be “The Year of the Shark,” a nickname given to the Porsche 928 for its sleek blunt nose. During its lifespan, from its introduction in 1978 through the 1995 model year, the Porsche 928 has earned a reputation as an easy-to-handle, comfortable and effortless grand tourer. Though it was originally intended to serve as a quasi-replacement for the 911, it has always been overshadowed by its rear-engined sibling. This year however, there have been some indications that the “transaxle 928” may be coming into its own. It can be said that in its final brawny iteration as the GTS, it has always found some appreciation, but lately the early S1 (Series 1: 1978 – 1982) cars have returned some impressive results. The S1 is appreciated for its design—considered otherworldly at its debut in 1977 (albeit 911 purists found it hideous) with its inverted pop-up headlamps à la the Lamborghini Muira and rounded greenhouse fastback shape. Designer Wolfgang Möbius and stylist Anatole Lapine left its lines clean, in contrast to the exaggerated fender flares and whale tail spoilers of the contemporary 911 Turbo (which, to be fair, 911 purists also found hideous). Then there’s the water-cooled V8 engine, the first used in a production Porsche. Unlike the 911, the 928 was less about setting lap times and more about straightline Autobahn speed. Although its 237 hp (220 in the US) is less than today’s Golf GTI, it was impressive for the malaise era and 30 more than the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Though reasonably profitable on a per-copy basis, it was clear the 928 was not the car that was going to save Porsche; never mind further development of its bread-&-butter 911. Production stopped after the 1995 model year, ending an 18-year run with just over 61,000 built. Not particularly rare but relative to the nearly 100,000 copies of the Cayenne (the car that did save Porsche and allow further development of the 911; not to mention the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder) built in a single year, still a car that gets noticed. Especially nice examples like this 1978 Porsche 928. It is finished in classic Grand Prix White and features pop-up headlights, headlamp washers, fog lights, dual power mirrors, a rear window wiper, dual exhaust tips, and 16” phone dial alloy wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Exalto tires from 2020. The wheels were refinished in 2024, and the hood and rear hatch struts have been recently replaced. The seller notes that the right rear quarter panel was refinished under previous ownership, and the exterior is in very good driver-quality condition. The cabin is appointed with Green leatherette upholstery, a matching headliner, carpets, and highly desirable Pascha velour inserts on the seat centers and door panels.

1973 BMW 3.0 CSiL

The BMW E9 became a design icon from its introduction in 1969 and has remained timeless in its elegant yet menacing mien. The design begged to go racing and not long after its introduction [then independent] tuner Alpina created a competition version of the 2800 CS. At nearly 300 kg heavier than the Porsches and Alfa Romeos it was up against, it didn’t fare so well despite its formidable 240 hp. Using what they had learned, Alpina then developed a lightweight road version of the 2800 CS’s successor, the 3.0 CS, for BMW. This was the 3.0 CSL. In May of the following year, with automotive guru Bob Lutz now in charge of sales, a new division was formed: BMW Motorposrt GmbH (which would go onto become the M Division). For the remainder of the CSL’s life, both the road car and the new lightweight race car would fall under BMW Motorsport. The 3.0 CSL is generally recognized as the archetype of the BMW M Car, and arguably the most highly prized CSL is the 3.2-liter “Batmobile” CSiL of 1973 and 1974. With a striking aero package that included the massive rear spoiler, front air dam, roof hoop, and front wind splits, along with 2 cm wider wheel housings to accommodate 7″ wide Alpina wheels, the car was stripped of any unnecessary weight (the ‘L’ of CSiL: lightweight) and/or replaced by lighter materials like perspex windows and aluminium hood, doors, and trunk (“Stadtpakket,” or City Package cars featured combinations of lightweight and higher production CS/CSi features). This 1973 BMW 3.0 CSiL, Chassis № 2275461 is genuine, non-Stadt Batmobile, finished in Polaris Metallic with BMW Motorsport stripes over a Black interior featuring Scheel sport seats, manual crank windows, and a 3-spoke leather-wrapped Alpina steering wheel. Now part of the McKenna Collection, the car was acquired from Mint Classic in Belgium and imported to Southern California in 2019. It underwent a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration under prior ownership; however, no documentation is available to confirm. Displaying 10,191 kilometers at the time of listing, some blemishes are noted on the passenger-side middle of the hood, and the tires show 2018 date codes. The sale includes one set of keys, the owner’s manuals, import documentation, and the original German title dated September 1973. This 1973 BMW CSiL is a new listing here on Cars & Bids out of Torrence, California.


1995 Mercedes-Benz G 320

Before it was the ride of choice on the streets of South Beach and Rodeo Drive, the Mercedes-Benz W463 was a highly capable, utilitarian, military and paramilitary off-roader. Its austere Austrian roots are a far cry from the leather and walnut-trimmed, infotainment-laden appointments of today’s G-Class. There was a time, prior to being officially imported by MBUSA in 2001, when the “Geländewagen” found the perfect balance between Steyr utility and Mercedes-Benz creature comforts. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is an excellent example of that. A desirable short-wheelbase (SWB) model, it was initially built (by AMG?) and sold in the Japanese Market before being imported into the U.S. in 2024 by the selling dealer. It is finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) with a matching grille, bumpers, and fender flares. Equipment includes fog lights, brush guards on the front and rear, rear mudflaps, running boards, and side-exit exhaust tips on the driver side. A rear spare tire carrier and cover are mounted to the rear door. The seller reports no evidence of rust and has provided paint meter readings in the gallery showing consistent results all around. Factory 16″ wheels wear their original silver finish and are mounted with BridgeStone Dueler H/P tires measuring 265/70 on all four corners. The seller notes the tires are older and show some dry rot cracking. Factory suspension remains featuring springs and coils with braking handled by discs behind each wheel. A side-exit exhaust is mounted on the driverside with dual polished tips. The cabin is trimmed in Black Leather upholstery across both rows of seats along with the door cards. Black carpet shows well for the footwells and cargo space while the dashboard is finished in black vinyl. Burl wood trim accents the dashboard and center console. Equipment includes factory optioned air conditioning, three locking differentials, power windows, cruise control, a Panasonic head unit, and heated front seats. Folding armrests are optioned for both front seats along with headrests for the rear seats. The front seats move forward to allow for entry into the rear as seen in photos. An AMG VIN tag is located on the inside of the driver door sill and a Victor DB3 steering wheel is fitted with leather and wood grips. The 3.2L M104 inline-six was factory rated at 210 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to all four wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission with three selectable locking differentials. Additional underbody pictures are viewable in the gallery. The valve cover gasket was replaced in preparation for the sale to remedy minor oil seepage and a fresh oil and filter change was also completed. Showing 111,524 kilometers (69,298 miles) at the time of listing, the seller mentions a thorough inspection has been performed to ensure there are no known mechanical issues. This W463 is reported to start without hesitation, idle smooth, shift throughout all gears smoothly, and the engine is strong and healthy. With one one factory key, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title, this 1995 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is being offered on The MB Market in Christiansburg, Virginia with six days remaining in the auction.

1981 Porsche 911 Turbo RUF BTR

With Groups 4 and 5 in mind, the original plan for the 911 Turbo (930) was to meet the homologation requirements of 400 units (enough for homologation rules), but in the end, the Turbo became a cultural phenomenon, a performance king and huge commercial success. This 1981 Porsche 911 Turbo came finished from the factory in classic Grand Prix White and ordered without a sunroof. In 1989, the car was delivered to RUF Automobile for a full BTR conversion, which also included a RUF front spoiler, a RUF suspension,17″ RUF Speedline wheels, bigger brakes, a quad-pipe exhaust, Recaro seats, a RUF three-spoke steering wheel with carbon fiber inlays, Porsche 935-style door mirrors, RUF instrument dials, and several other RUF-specific accessories. The car had been in storage for several years in Belgium prior to the seller’s purchase in 2023. It was then imported to the US and now resides in Sonoma, California. During the car’s conversion, its engine capacity was increased to 3,344 cc, resulting in a total power output of 374 hp. This modification was indicated on the vehicle’s Belgian registration document. The seller notes that the RUF bumpers and front fenders appear to have been repainted; the seats have minimal creasing, the headliner and carpets also show minimal wear; the seat belt light stays on; and it does intermittently smoke a bit. With the metric odometer displaying 43,438 kilometers at the time of listing, its most recent service was completed in November 2024 at an indicated 43,325 kilometers, when S Car Go replaced the front Bilstein struts and brake fluid, and steel brake lines were installed. During previous services, the tires, wheel spacers, fluid, spark plugs, alternator belt, air filter, distributor cap, accessory drive belts, and the valve cover gaskets and seals have been replaced. This 1981 Porsche 911 Turbo converted to Gruppe B Turbo RUF specification is being offered on Collecting Cars with the auction closing June 26, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. EDT.


1968 Plymouth Barracuda

As part of Plymouth’s second-generation Barracuda lineup (1967–69), the 1968 model year brought a notable expansion in body styles. While the fastback and convertible returned with their signature flair, 1968 introduced the more formal and less common notchback hardtop coupe featuring a squared-off roofline and a traditional trunk. Beyond its styling, the 1968 Barracuda received several updates, including federally mandated side marker lights and optional headrests. This 1968 Plymouth Barracuda notchback was purchased by the seller’s Grandmother the second week of October 1967 from the Plymouth dealer in State College, Pennsylvania. At 51, it was the first—and only—car she ever owned or drove. It was garage kept for 40 years after. She drove the car until just before her 90th birthday whereupon the car moved to Delaware with the seller. The car retains its original paint and Black vinyl interior. Power comes from a 225 cu-in Slant-Six engine rated at 145 horsepower mated to a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Showing 24,261 little old lady-driven miles from new, the car is said to be free from any substantial imperfections. Small pock marks on the inside of the driver’s door are the result of the diminutive 4′ 10″ grandmother kicking the (heavy) door with her heel to open it. A small tear in the passenger side door next to the window crank is also disclosed. With two sets of original keys and a spare set of wheels (wrapped in “very” old tires), this single family-owned 1968 Plymouth Barracuda is being sold for only the second time here on Hagerty Marketplace out of Elkton, Maryland with seven days left to bid.

1963 Jaguar XKE 3.8 Coupe

Envisioned by company founder Sir William Lyons, the Jaguar E-Type (known as the XKE in the US) was designed as a blend of high performance, stunning aesthetics, and affordability. Its swooping body lines immediately captivated audiences and critics alike upon debut, even with Enzo Ferrari famously declaring it “the most beautiful car in the world.” Over the years, the E-Type’s various updates included introduction of Series 2 and Series 3 models, featuring larger engines, improved comforts, and updated front fascia designs—though among collectors and enthusiasts, the Series 1 remains most desirable for its distinctive appearance, denoted by a minimalist front grille design and flared headlights. This 1963 Jaguar XKE Series 1 3.8 Coupe underwent a comprehensive restoration under previous ownership. Resprayed in a Burgundy Metallic finish, the car features 15” wire-mesh wheels, covered front headlights, dual side mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, and a side-hinged rear hatch. The same level of professional refurbishment extends to the interior, with all new upholstery covering the cabin, headliner, and rear cargo compartment. Interior highlights consist of a Beige leather seating with Brown accent piping, color-keyed lap belts, a wood-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and Smiths instrumentation. Power comes from a 3.8-liter inline-6 engine topped by triple SU carburetors, and cooled by an aluminum radiator, and an electric fan. An upgraded five-speed manual gearbox was also installed, matched by four-wheel disc brakes for precise driver inputs. An official production record trace certificate issued by the Jaguar Heritage Trust confirms the engine currently fitted matches the car’s original factory specification. This E-Type Coupe’s exemplary state and restoration benefits from official recognition by the Jaguar Club of North America, where it received top Concours d’Elegance marks on two separate occasions.  A key, period-correct owners’ literature, documentation (photos) detailing the previous restoration, Concours D’Elegance judging score sheets, and Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate accompanies the sale. This 1963 Jaguar XKE 3.8 Coupe is being offered here on SOMO by a dealer in Thousand Oaks, California with the auction ending July 1, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EDT.

1973 Porsche 911S

By now we’ve come to know that when Porsche adds an ‘S’ to a badge, it means something Special, something Sporting, and like the Man of Steel, something Super. It would first turn the 911 into a superhero in 1967 with a more powerful 160-hp engine, along with a number of chassis enhancements. In 1970 an increase in displacemnent to 2.2 liters resulted in and additional 20 hp. For 1972, Porsche would upgrade the 911S to a new, larger 2,341 cc engine (commonly referred to as the 2.4), now rated at 190 hp and featuring mechanical fuel injection. With the power and torque increase, the 2.4-liter cars also got the newer and stronger 915 transmission that would remain the mainstay gearbox for the next 15 years until replaced by the G50. This Porsche 911S comes from 1973, the final year of “longnose” F-Modell production. It came from the factory finished in Silver Metallic and equipped with a rare electric sunroof, along with optional air conditioning (more than $7,500 in today’s money), a limited slip differential, sport seats, and a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio. The seller purchased it privately from a 40-year first ownership. It retains its numbers-matching drivetrain and remains largely original, with the exception of a replacement dashboard (original included in sale). The matching date-coded Fuchs wheels were restored and wrapped in new period Pirelli tires per COA. Displaying 55,000 miles at the time of listing, the car has been fully documented back to its original registration card in California, 1973. It has now been fully sorted by local air-cooled expert at a Porsche dealership with documentation including fuel system, suspension etc. The CoA and a period copy of the window sticker accompany the sale of this 1973 Porsche 911S, now being offered for public sale for the first time in its history here at The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) in Pittsburgh at an asking price of $219,444.


1994 Mercedes-Benz E 500

As the “Q-ship” battles among German sport sedans were heating up in the late ’80s and early ’90s, to one-up BMW’s newly introduced 310-hp E34 M5, Mercedes stuffed the 322-hp 5.0-liter M119 V8 from the R129 SL 500 under the bonnet of its W124 E-Class. Its engineers, however, had their hands and minds full with core-competency products like the W140 S-Class. Enter Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche, Kunstruktion und Beratung für Motoren und Fahrzeugbau (Honorary Doctor of Engineering of Porsche Construction and Consulting Services for Engines and Vehicles) AG —or as we know it simply as Porsche—just up the road (B10). In 1990, Porsche was facing serious financial strain after developing the 85% new 964, on top of plummeting sales of its transaxle offerings. As a provider of “construction and consulting services for engines and vehicles,” they were more than willing to lend hands and minds. Fitting the M119 required a widening of the engine bay, and along with it those subtly muscular fender flares. The issue was that this wider W124 would no longer fit on the assembly line without significant and cost-prohibitive modifications. Re-enter Porsche, specifically the hand-build Reutter werks. Mercedes-Benz shipped parts to be assembled then brought the body-in-white back to be painted at their Sindelfingen facility. Then it was back to Porsche for engine installation and final assembly before returning to Sindelfingen for inspection and delivery. The process to build a single 500 E took 18 days and nearly DM90,000. It’s a remarkable collaboration of two Stuttgart titans that we’re not likely to see again. But to some customers, remarkable wasn’t good enough, and when their 500 E was picked up from Sindelfingen, the car went promptly up to Affalterbach for further tuning by AMG. This 1994 Mercedes-Benz E 500 (conforming to the Class-first nomenclature instituted in 1994) was registered in Florida from 1994 until March 2020. It was then acquired by the current owner and registered in Missouri from March 2020 onwards, consistently stored under climate-controlled conditions, and driven sparingly. It comes finished in Blauschwarz (Blue Black) Metallic [199] over Pearl Grey and equipped with front fog lights and headlamp washers and. Its sole modification is a set of 18″ AMG Monoblock wheels dressed in Michelin tires, date-coded 2019. The Grey leather interior features Mercedes-Benz AM/FM/cassette audio system, air conditioning, powered sunroof, powered front seats, powered rear head restraints, powered rear sunshade, and a ’90s-requisite in-car phone (in center console). An extensive refurbishment was carried out by Mercedes-Benz specialist workshop Star Garage in 2019. Displaying 84,938 miles at the time of cataloguing, only around 350 of those have been added under the current owner’s stewardship since 2020. A detailed service record kept on file dating back to 1995 details all work performed and repairs done since this car was first delivered. This 1994 Mercedes-Benz E 500 is listed here on SOMO by a dealer in Branson, Missouri, with the auction closing July 3, 2025 at 5:15 p.m. EDT.

1993 Alfa Romeo RZ

Dubbed Il Mostro—the Monster—on its debut in 1989, the Alfa Romeo SZ was intended to shatter preconceptions and set Alfa design on a new path. The SZ (for Sport Zagato, the hardtop released before the RZ roadster version) utilized computer-aided design, with its origins in the stylings of French designer Robert Opron (Citroën SM). It was finished in-house by Alfa’s then-parent company Fiat, with assembly farmed out to Zagato. The Alfa Romeo RZ was produced between 1992 and 1994. This 1993 Alfa Romeo RZ is № 258 of the 284 cars produced. It was originally delivered to Germany before being exported to the Czech Republic in 2017. The car comes finished in black with a matching black soft top over a red leather-trimmed cabin. It rides on a set of split-rim 16″ ‘teledial’-style alloy wheels. Equipment includes electric windows, electric mirrors, air conditioning, switchable suspension, and a Blaupunkt radio. Power comes from the legendary 3.0-liter ‘Busso’ V6, delivering 207 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. Showing 83,166 kilometers (51,677 miles) at the time of listing, the car was last serviced in 2024 at 83,000 kilometers, which included replacing the engine oil, oil filter, and spark plugs. With extensive service records, the owner’s manual, radio handbook, a purchase contract from 2016, a copy of the German technical certificate, a Czech technical certificate, a magazine featuring the model, a printout of the Alfa Romeo Roadster Zagato Register, and the spare wheel, this 1993 Alfa Romeo RZ can is being offered on Collecting Cars by its owner in Křenovice, Czechia with six days left to bid.

1962 Porsche 356 B D’Ieteren Roadster

As Porsche continued to build upon its success on the world’s most renowned racing circuits through the 1950s, so too did the development of its production model, the 356. By 1960, the development had become significant enough to warrant a change in designation from the 356 A to the 356 B. The key visual differences in the B series included the front bumper with enlarged overriders which was positioned ten centimeters higher, and the headlights which were also positioned much higher. The horn grilles next to the front turn indicators were flatter and featured two chrome-plated slats. The front lid handle was also wider at the bottom. The two lamps for the number plate lighting were integrated in the higher-positioned rear bumper, while the backup light was mounted below the bumper. For model year 1962, further refinement came by way of the T6 body that would carry through until the end of production with the 356 C and SC. The T6 featured a front lid that had been significantly widened at the bottom and a tank cap in the front right wing. Two vertical ventilation grilles were integrated in the enlarged engine lid of the Roadster. The 356 B Roadster was the final evolution of the iconic Speedster, which was replaced by the Drauz-built Convertible D in 1959. Drauz eventually handed over some of its Roadster production to Porsche’s Belgian distributor, D’Ieteren Freres, and the cars from D’Ieteren can be immediately identified by their pair of engine cover cooling grilles. The “Twin Grill” Roadster was built over a 6-month period before being discontinued in March of 1962 due to the fact that the Cabriolet had become more popular in sales. The Roadster shares many of the comfort attributes of the Convertible D, including roll-up windows, comfortable Coupe seats, and a well-constructed convertible top frame with a tan-painted frame and wraparound rear window. For those with competition in mind, the windshield could be removed, and roadsters, like the Speedster and Convertible D, soon became popular in amateur sports car racing around the world. As one of only 248 “Twin Grill” D’Ieteren Roadsters, it is one of the rarest of all production Porsches. This 1962 Porsche 356 B Roadster, chassis number 89655, had a final production date of November 13, 1961. The car was originally finished in paint code [6210] Smyrna Green, A proper color change to black was done when the car was restored. It has had but one owner since 1978. An extensive service and ownership history goes back to 1971 along with the car’s Certificate of Authenticity. The car was recently brought to Spokane from the Phoenix area where it had seen very little use in the last few years. It was recently treated to a tuning by a marque specialist and the car is said to be “an absolute pleasure” to drive. Clutch operation and shifts are reportedly smoth while brake pedal pressure and modulation are excellent. There is no steering play, the car tracks dead straight. There isn’t a single rattle or squeak in the car. This 1962 Porsche 356 B D’Ieteren “Twin Grile” Roadster is for sale here on Craigslist by Clasic Car Holdings in Spokane Valey, Washington at an asking price of $289,400.


1984 Ferrari 512 BBi

Powered by a fuel injected flat twelve engine producing 340 hp, the 512 BBi was Ferrari’s final mid-engine 12-cylinder model before the Testarossa. With its unique combination of historical provenance, documented restoration, and rare color combination, this example represents a significant piece of the Berlinetta Boxer lineage. This 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi was purchased new by motorsport legend AJ Foyt. A four-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, Foyt remains one of the most accomplished drivers in American racing history, with victories spanning IndyCar, NASCAR, Le Mans, and the Daytona 24 Hours. Currently finished in Argento Metallizzato over Rosso leather, this 512 BBi is a striking specification from the final production year of the Berlinetta Boxer series. It has since received a full restoration by Canepa, one of the most respected restoration specialists in North America. The restoration is fully documented with photographs and records, and receipts totaling over $220,000 are available upon request. Displaying 28,333 miles at the time of listing, the car retains its complete original toolkit with jack, original books, and supporting documentation. It’s now being offered on Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami at a price upon inquiry.

2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series

The Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class (Coupé Luxus Kurz), introduced in 1996 as a quasi successor to the popular W124 E-Class coupe and cabriolet as its personal luxury coupe. Its size however fell somewhere between the E-Class (now W210) and W202 C-Class in an appeal to draw potential buyers of the BMW 3-Series. With the 3-Series M3 into its second generation as a coupe and powered by a 3.2-liter inline-6, Mercedes-Benz had its work cut out. Enter AMG, the then-independent tuner that was already in talks to cede a majority stake to its primary benefactor. Among other refinements, AMG stuffed a handbuilt 342-hp 5.4-liter M113 V8 into its bonnet. Its performance cred in place, the CLK entered the DTM for the 2000 season. Its successor, the C209-based CLK, would go on to win the 2003 championship. This would spur interest among engineers—not to mention enthusiasts—to ask what if there were an even higher performance version of the CLK than the AMG (now CLK 63, with a 474-hp 6.2-liter M156 V8). Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of AMG, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the limited-edition CLK63 AMG Black Series at the 2007 New York auto show. Its design drew inspiration from the Formula One safety car, with 19″ alloy wheels, a spoiler, diffuser, and wider fenders made of carbon fiber. The M156 was further tuned to put out 500 hp. It also features an adjustable suspension system, all while being 100 pounds lighter than the regular CLK 63. Mercedes-Benz built 700 examples of the CLK 63 Black Series worldwide, with 349 marked for the US market. This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 Black Series is finished in Bright Silver Metallic over a black interior and comes equipped with power-adjustable AMG bucket seats, carbon fiber interior trim, and the COMAND navigation system. No modifications are reported. A third-party pre-purchase inspection notes a hole in driver’s floor mat, chips and scratches around the exterior, an inoperative passenger-mirror turn indicator, some curb rash and scratches on the wheels, a bubble on the passenger-side front tire, some wear on the driver’s seat and steering wheel, and marks on the head unit display. Displaying 47,273 miles at the time of listing, its service history in the past five years shows replacement of valve cover gaskets and battery, four new tires (July 2023), installation of a transmission cover, valve stems replaced, front suspension adjusted, front and rear brake pads and rotors, rear control arm bushings, rear sway bar links, steering angle sensor, steering column adjustment switch, and key fob batteries replaced. With an always entertaining review by Doug DeMuro, this 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG is listed here on Cars & Bids out of San Diego with three days remaining in the auction.

1959 Porsche 356 A Convertible D

The Porsche 356 A Convertible D evolved from the famed 356 Speedster as the newest sporting open-topped Porsche upon debut. While the Speedster was spartan, the Convertible D had become nearly as civilized as the Cabriolet with a larger windshield and roll-up side windows. Production of the special 356 A Convertible D body was handled by Drauz of Heilbronn, hence the name Convertible D. Only available for a single model year, 1959, a low number of 356 A Convertible Ds were produced—just 1,330. Interestingly, Porsche limited the color choices of the Convertible to Ruby Red, Meissen Blue, Ivory, and Silver Metallic with 98-percent of the Drauz built cars so finished. The Kardex warranty card for this 1959 Porsche 356 A Convertible D reveals its original build specification with an exterior finish in popular Ivory. While the Kardex does not record the interior color, an Ivory Convertible D was only available with Red or Black upholstery that year, and it is quite likely that it was Red when new. Options are listed as U.S.-specification bumpers and sealed beam headlights. Most importantly, the Kardex lists both the 1,600-cc engine (85857) and the four-speed transmission (23213) serial numbers, both of which remain in the car, cementing its numbers matching status today. According to a copy of its 1982 State of Oklahoma title, chassis № 85857 was first sold on 13 April 1959 for $3,581. Rick Casey, who owned the Convertible D from 1986-2009, states that he acquired the car from the original owner, who is likely James Cleveland of Tulsa, as on the 1982 Oklahoma title. Casey states that when he acquired the car with approximately 35,000 miles on the odometer, the car was an unrestored example without accident or rust. Under his ownership, Casey had the car restored in the late 1980s, capturing 356 Registry and Porsche Club of America concours wins before it was placed into storage in 1998. In 2009, it was acquired by James Hebenstreit of Mission Hills, Kansas with just 38,912 miles. Hebenstreit commissioned Dennis Frick and his well-known Europa Macchina restoration shop to fully restore the car to concours standards. Chassis № 85857 was shown at the prestigious Concours on the Avenue in Carmel-by-the-Sea during Pebble Beach Car Week in 2014 with Hebenstreit noting its bona fides on an application form to return to the event in 2015. Frank Darabont later acquired the car in 2022 as its fourth private owner in the past 66 years. This 1959 Porsche 356 A Convertible D now awaits its fifth at Broad Arrow Private Sales, at an asking price of $300,000.


1976 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega

The Chevrolet Cosworth Vega was a bold but short-lived experiment by General Motors to inject European-style performance into its compact car lineup. Born from a collaboration between Chevrolet, under John DeLorean, and the famed British engineering firm Cosworth, the Cosworth Vega was a high-performance variant of the standard Vega and was produced only in 1975 and ’76. Power came from a 2.0-liter, all-aluminum inline-four engine featuring a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) cylinder head designed by Cosworth. This engine, known as the RPO Z09, was equipped with Bendix electronic fuel injection, a rarity for American cars at the time, and produced 110 hp—significantly more than the base Vega. The 1976 model introduced a five-speed manual transmission and offered more color choices than the ’75 version, which was only available in black with gold trim. With its advanced engineering and sporty aspirations, the Cosworth Vega cost nearly double that of the standard Vega and was nearly as high as a Corvette. This 1976 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega is one of only 3,508 units produced over the two-year run, making it one of the rarest Chevrolets ever built. It is registered with the Cosworth Vega Owners Association (CVOA) as member-owned Cosworth № 2967. It came finished in Mahogany Metallic (37U) paint, repainted by a previous owner. The exterior is trimmed with Gold striping and “Cosworth Twin-Cam” decals, riding on Cosworth-specific, gold-colored cast aluminum wheels. The cabin features Dark Firethorn vinyl with patterned cloth inserts (upgraded from a donor Cosworth) and red carpet. It is appointed with a machine-turned aluminum dash plate, fold-down rear seats, and a Delco AM/FM radio, Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, 8000-rpm tachometer, and under-dash VDO engine vacuum and oil pressure gauges. Showing 75,175 miles at the time of cataloguing, six years of notes from a previous CVOA member/owner detailing repairs and upgrades include (but are not limited to) an engine refresh in 2010 at 70,000 miles (replaced crankshaft, #3 rod and piston, rings, bearings, seals, etc.). Two years earlier, the original 4-speed manual gearbox was upgraded/replaced by a 5-speed unit from a donor Cosworth (including all the proper hardware and bracketry). The car is in very presentable condition, however multiple paint imperfections are noted, including dings, scrapes, chips, and fading — most notably on the hood, above windshield, and fenders, with cracks behind driver’s side window; the carpet in rear hatch is faded; some aging can be seen on the rubber door/window seats; there is light surface rust in the trunk/spare tire compartment; tires are aged out; an oil leak between the head and cam box is noted, and the Tire Pressures info sticker on the inside of the door is peeling. Accompanied by a spare tire, jack, lug wrench, and keys with Cosworth Vega key chain, along with some new weather stripping, a new top-end gasket set, miscellaneous small parts, and service manuals and other assorted historical documentation, this 1976 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega is now being offered on Hagerty Marketplace with seven days remaining in the auction.

1998 Mercedes-Benz A 140

Mercedes-Benz introduced the W168 A-Class in 1997 after its Vision A 93 Concept garnered a positive reception from both press and public. Departing radically from tradition with front-wheel drive, a compact, hatchback layout, and a focus on the economical end of the market, the A-Class took aim at the Volkswagen Golf while upholding the company’s radically innovative engineering. With major mechanicals “sandwiched” between the floor pan and cabin floor at a 59-degree angle, the A-Class offered interior space that rivaled its C-Class, despite a roughly 25% smaller footprint. In addition, the double sandwich floor proved highly effective in crash tests, another tri-star trademark (albeit less effective in a Swedish magazine’s elk avoidance test, where its dimensions and egg shape made the W168 susceptible to rolling over). IT was nevertheless well received in its five years of production, though never available in the US. This 1998 Mercedes-Benz A 140 was imported by Doug DeMuro in 2023. It is finished in Deep Sea Blue and equipped with 15″ steel wheels with covers, a rear window wiper, and the all-important Stability Control (a result of the Elk Avoidance recall). The Gray interior features cloth upholstery, air conditioning, power-operated door mirrors, locks, and front windows, and an AM/FM/cassette player. Chips and scratches are noted around the exterior, along with damaged paint on the rocker panels. Some of the exterior trim is weathered and the door panel moldings are partially detached. The paint on the quarter panels shows some bubbling and there is some corrosion on some underbody components. The rear seat cushion shows some stains and there are marks on the headliner, as well as wear on interior surfaces and a loose cargo area panel. Power comes from a 1.4-liter inline-4, rated at 80 hp and 96 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller reports that the fuel system will take momentarily longer to pressurize after extended periods of disuse, and there is a creaking noise when turning. Showing 111,278 kilometers (69,145 miles) at the time of listing, recent maintenance includes an paint chip and rust repair, replacement of trunk latch struts and intake tube, engine oil and filter change, replacement of battery, fuel hose and clamps, tires, rear brake shoes, front brake rotors and pads, brake lines, parking brake cables, spark plugs, serpentine belt, fuel filter, fuel lines, intake boot, air filter, A-pillar trim, right mirror cover, hood emblem tab, rear emblem, wheel covers, interior window roller, and lower door trim, securing of rear light cover, and a recharge of the air conditioning system. The sale includes two keys, an A 140 model keychain, a cars & bids pen, owner’s manuals, service records, a factory first aid kit, spare tire, jack, and road triangle, a cassette Bluetooth adapter, cassette tapes, aftermarket all-weather floor mats, touch-up paint, a custom German-style license plate, and a Nantucket ferry ticket (?).

1977 Porsche 911 Turbo

Though now a legend 50 years on, the original plan for the 911 Turbo was to meet the homologation requirements of 400 units that were to be produced over a period of 24 months, at which point Porsche would cease production. However, Group 4 and 5 homologation rules changed in the meantime and a production car was no longer needed to meet requirements. Nevertheless, Porsche decided to continue development with a goal to make a supercar that would compete directly with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. The engine was an Ernst Fuhrmann-developed Type 930/53 3.0-liter flat-six with one big KKK turbocharger that produced 245 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque. Its acceleration was blistering for the day: 0 – 60 mph took around 5.0 seconds, much of it coming at around 3,000 rpm once the considerable turbo lag abated. With the 5-speed gearbox used in the normally aspirated 911 at the time (915) deemed insufficient to handle the power and torque, Porsche resorted to the strongest transmission they had at the time, the 930/30 4-speed from the 935 race car (it would not be until 1989 that budgets allowed for the development of the beefed up G50/50 5-speed). Today, the 1975 – 1977 Turbo Carreras (US models got ‘Carrera’ added to the badge while RoW was simply ‘turbo’) are sought after as not only the first of their kind, but for what were seen as drawbacks in their day: the smaller non-intercooled 3.0 liter Fuhrmann motor, the 4-speed gearbox (that could reach nearly 100 kph in first gear, 220 in third, and topping out at 250), and the unpredictable understeer that earned it a “widowmaker” nickname. This Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera is one of 717 built for the US market in 1977. Finished in Black (A1), it features European-style H4 Hella headlight lenses, headlamp washer nozzles, front fog lights, rear fender stone guards, an electric sunroof, early U.S.-market “Turbo Carrera” badging, and 16″ Fuchs alloy wheels dressed in Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires. The seller indicates that the car was stripped to bare metal and refinished in its original color under previous ownership, and the paint remains in excellent overall condition. The cabin was restored to its original appearance with new black leather upholstery and matching carpets under previous ownership. It features optional front Sport Seats, a black leather three-spoke steering wheel, folding rear seatbacks, power windows, air conditioning, a central tachometer with an integrated boost gauge, Coco floor mats, and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo with MB Quart speakers. The seller notes that the throttle cable and pedal bushings were replaced along with repairs to the odometer in December 2024. Showing 60,041 miles, the seller indicates the engine and transmission were overhauled along with the installation of a new flywheel in 2009, the rear sway bar bushings were replaced in 2023, and the alternator belt and pulley were replaced in 2024. This sale will include a toolkit, a spare tire, service records, and a Porsche Production Specifications Certificate. It’s listed on PCARMARKET by a private party in North Palm Beach, Florida with three days left to bid.


1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport 425

The first-generation Buick Riviera, offered from 1963–65, marked a high point in American automotive design. Bill Mitchell’s bold styling included a sharply sculpted 209-inch body, hidden headlights, and a low roofline flowing into a rear featuring vertical fins. And the interior displayed contoured bucket seats, a chrome-accented dash, and a center console with floor shifter. Rich vinyl or cloth upholstery options complemented a full suite of gauges, while optional power accessories further enhanced comfort in this refined driving environment. Combined, these features cemented the Riviera as a highly desirable personal luxury coupe. And in 1965, the Gran Sport package was introduced. The centerpiece was a 425 cu-in Super Wildcat V8 which delivered 360 horsepower, along with an optional suspension upgrade featuring stiffer springs, shocks, and bushings. The Gran Sport effortlessly combined elegance with muscle, offering a firmer ride and impressive power in one sleek package. Limited production and distinctive design have made the 1965 Riviera Gran Sport a collector’s favorite, representing Buick’s ambition to blend luxury, innovation, and performance in a single, unforgettable package. This Buick Riviera Gran Sport is one of only 3,354 produced in 1965, and presents with straight bodywork, eye-catching burgundy paint and equipped with 15″ chrome wheels, unique-for-1965 “clamshell” shielded headlamps, a limited-slip differential and dual exhaust system. The opulent interior is upholstered in two-tone Tan and Brown leather and appointed with air conditioning and cruise control, as well as power steering, brakes, and door locks. A retro-modern stereo with remote has been fitted. Indicating 20,435 miles at the time of listing (true mileage unknown), this 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport 425 is for sale on Hagerty Marketplace with nine days remaining in the auction.

1994 Audi RS2 Avant x Porsche

Prior to 1980, Audi was known as a builder of slightly upmarket utilitarian automobiles, more in competition with the likes of Opel and Peugeot than Mercedes-Benz and BMW; never mind any talk of performance cars. Then came the quattro. The quattro program was initiated by Ferdinand Piech, who had joined the company in 1972 after a prolonged spell at Porsche. Piech was a grandson of Ferdinand Porsche and, prior to his departure from the family firm, had been heavily involved in various motor racing programs. In short, the Audi quattro changed the face of World Rally forever. To satisfy FIA homologation regulations, a production version was offered from 1980 through to 1991, during which nearly 11,500 were produced. The subsequent B4 80-based S2 built from 1991 was an accomplished machine, but failed to capture the public’s imagination in the same way as the quattro had. Meanwhile, down the road, Porsche was in the midst of a financial meltdown, after exchange rates, limited production offerings, and a number of recessions, crippled profits. Piech, who was now chairman and CEO of the Volkswagen Audi Group, instigated a collaboration between Porsche and Audi that would yield one of the most spectacular and unusual high performance cars of the 1990s: the B4 80-based RS2 Avant. Porsche built the car at their Rossle-Bau factory in Zuffenhausen which had previously produced the 959 and was at the time also building the Mercedes-Benz 500 E. Porsche engineered many upgrades and changes and also used many parts from their shelves, including Porsche Cup wheels, 911 Turbo mirrors, Porsche/Brembo brakes and more. They constructed under 3,000 of these special and rare wagons in 1994 and 1995. This was the first Audi model to receive the “RS” badge and the only non-Porsche car to wear a Porsche badge. Though never sold new in the US, they have been legally available in the collector market under the 25-year rule. This 1994 Audi RS4 Avant by Porsche spent its life in Europe before coming to the US in 2019. Displaying around 62,000 miles it has had over $30,000 invested in servicing and refreshing. It’s now being offered for sale (outside of California) here at Copley West in Newport Beach, California at an asking price of $84,800.

1964 Porsche 356

There was a time when the thought of modifying a classic Porsche was so blasphemous, many purists felt it should be against the law. It was not unwarranted as there were—and still are—many modifications that stretched the limits of personalization. It wasn’t until the emergence of visionaries like Magnus Walker and Rob Emory (and more recently Rob Dickerson of Singer Vehicle Design and Peter Nam of Gunther Werks) that the idea of “reimagining” a Porsche into something that simply is not possible in a factory setting, become not only acceptable, but highly coveted. As a matter of reclamation, these are commonly referred to as outlaws. So highly prized are these hand-crafted, highly tuned outlaws, that enthusiasts and collectors are more than eager to shell out over (often well over) a half million dollars to get their hands on one. But there also some outlaws that, while certainly not to the level of an Emory Motorsport customization, embrace the same idea: make the thing better while still holding a high regard for its factory intent. This is a good example of that. To all the world, it looks like a nicely restored 1964 Porsche 356 C Sunroof Coupe—which it is. № 130809 was delivered by the legendary Brumos Porsche finished from the factory in Signal Red, but was recently repainted Chrysler Dark Iris Pearl as part of its rotisserie restoration. Its features include painted bumpers or smooth bumper plugs, one-piece door windows made from green-tinted and tempered glass, 6″ widened and chromed wheels wearing 205/60 Pirelli P6 tires, and a custom exhaust and taillight treatment. The front bucket seats and rear jump seats have been reupholstered in Cork leather (originally Black leatherette) with blue piping, and complemented by oatmeal square-weave carpets. We come to its outlaw status by way of an Vic Skirmants (356 Enterprises) built engine. The original case (№ ☆714712) received a big bore kit, Elgin cam, and his usual blueprinting. Vic also completely rebuilt the transmission. Original delivery document is included in the sale along with 37 pages of detailed work orders, plus parts invoices. Find this 1964 Porsche 356 C Sunroof Coupe is for sale here at The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) at a not-set-in-stone $150,000.


1959 Jaguar XK150

The introduction of the new XK150 in 1957 marked the most significant evolution of Jaguar’s legendary XK series since the XK120’s debut in 1948. In mechanical terms, the new 150 was similar to the outgoing 140, with independent front suspension, Salisbury rear axle, and rack and pinion steering. New for the 150, however, was the addition of the Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes, which were instrumental in Jaguar’s five wins at Le Mans in the 1950s. The body was taller and wider overall to accommodate a more spacious cockpit, and the styling was revised with slab sides to freshen and modernize the design language. In keeping with tradition, the XK150 was available as an open two-seat roadster, drophead coupe, or closed fixed-head coupe. Power continued to come from the 3.4-liter version of the XK twin-cam inline-six. Fitted with twin SU carburetors in standard form, the 3.4 was capable of 190 hp. Buyers responded well to the modernized styling and improved comfort and performance and sales were up slightly over the XK140. Ultimately, the XK150 proved to be a fitting swansong to the legendary XK line, setting the stage for the arrival of Jaguar’s next sensational sports car, the E-Type. This 1959 Jaguar XK150 2+2 Fixed-Head Coupe is described by selling dealer as a numbers-matching, mostly original survivor that has recently been fully serviced after coming out of a California collection. The vehicle appears very original, finished in the factory Old English White and equipped with a 4-speed gearbox with overdrive, 16″ wire wheels, fender mounted mirrors, and a pair of driving lights. The condition of the body is described as “excellent, with no previous damage or rust.” Chipping and light surface rust on edges and the underside of panels acknowledge age, while all glass and brightwork appear clear and free of damage. The red leather front seats, dashboard, and door panels also appear to be original. Seat belts have been added for front seat passengers. Red interior and trunk carpet appears to be newer and brighter than the interior. An armrest between the seats and the small rear seats also appears to be newer. A full set of original Smiths gauges are set in a white-leather center cluster. Heavy wear, a split seam, cracking, and a gouge can be seen on the front seat leather and the original steering wheel rim reveals a single crack. Small black stains can also be seen on the carpeted transmission tunnel cover. No issues are reported with any of the gauges or controls. No damage is observed in the fabric headliner. Some refurbishments are seen in the interior and trunk area. The odometer reads 14,260 miles, believed to be original but actual mileage is unknown. Slight oil seepage can be seen on edges of the right cam cover. A Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate confirms original chassis, engine, and body numbers, as well as colors and dates this XK150 was built and shipped from the factory. It’s being offered here on Hemmings by West Coast Classics in Torrance, California with three days remaining in the auction.


1986 Bertone X1/9

Following the popularity of the targa-roofed mid-engine Porsche 914, Fiat introduced the X1/9 as a replacement for its rear-engine 850 Spider. With its wedge design by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini, it evoked an Italian exotic appearance at a pricepoint that was within reach of common folk (and, at $4,150, nearly $2,000 less than the 914 1.8). While initially popular in the US, a reputation for frequent and expensive repairs, combined with increased pressure from more relaible Japanese sports cars, contributed to Fiat’s withdrawal from the American market in 1982. Enter importer and one-time manufacturer (Bricklin SV-1) Malcom Bricklin. Ever the opportunist (founding Subaru of North America), Mr. Bricklin convinced Fiat to continue X1/9 production through Bertone and marketed as such through Bricklin’s International Automobile Importers, Inc. This 1986 Bertone X1/9 comes from the final years of US production (it would carry on in Europe until 1989). Previously registered in New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2024 and subsequently exported to Ontario, Canada. Finished in a classic red, the car is believed to have been repainted under prior ownership and retains its signature removable black roof panel and 13″ Cromodora alloy wheels. The cabin is trimmed in black with gray-accented bucket seats, complemented by matching door panels and dashboard surfaces. Equipment includes power windows, a Dual CD stereo, a wooden shift knob, and a functional heater. Some wear is noted, including a cracked upper dashboard and a broken light in the left door panel. Instrumentation is classic Veglia, with a reverse-sweep tachometer and a six-digit odometer currently reading 23,245 miles at the time of cataloguing. Power comes form a mid-mounted 1.5-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle, delivering power to the rear wheels with the help of Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection. Four-wheel disc brakes provide competent stopping performance, while the suspension and chassis layout contribute to the X1/9’s legendary agility. A black protective coating has been applied to the underbody surfaces. This 1986 Bertone X1/9 is now being offered at No Reserve here on SOMO, with the auction closing June 26, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Please note, this vehicle is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The buyer is responsible for all importation documentation and fees. SOMO will connect you with a trusted referral who can provide an upfront cost estimate and assist with the process if you win the auction.

1977 Aston Martin AM V8

After founder David Brown sold Aston Martin to ‘Company Developments’ in January 1972, work started on a comprehensive facelift of DBS V8, the main visual cue being the adoption of single headlamps and a revised front grille. Known as AMV8, the car retained the Bosch mechanical fuel injection system until August 1973, when four twin choke Weber carburetors were fitted, a bigger bonnet bulge to clear the carburetor air box, and a re-designed fuel tank to allow more luggage space. After another change of ownership in 1975, AMV8 continued unchanged until 1977, when detailed engine modifications were announced as the “Stage 1” tune. Among other things, the exhaust system was revised to improve engine breathing. The Aston Martin V8 engine was first run in anger in 5.0-liter form at the 1967 Le Mans 24 hours, installed in two Lola T70’s run by Team Surtees. Sadly the engines did not last long but the lessons learned from this failure ensured that major revisions were incorporated into the forthcoming production unit. The result was a 5.3-liter V8 that was possibly over engineered but with the benefit of being rugged and reliable if maintained correctly. In US-spec, it produced 286-hp and 332 lb-ft of torque and was mated to either a ZF 5-speed manual gearbox or Chrysler 3-speed automatic transmission. This 1977 Aston Martin AM V8 is one of 967 Series 3 Coupes (Volante not introduced until a year later, along with the Series 4 “Oscar India”). Finished in burgundy, it comes equipped with a simulated hood scoop (a Series 3 trait), fender vents, dual color-matched side mirrors, chrome bumpers with overriders, and 15″ GKN alloy wheels dressed in 235/70 radial tires. A “miniscule” paint ship is reported on the driver-sode fender and the passenger-side mirror is said to be out of alignment. The interior is upholstered in Tan hides and features a console-mounted automatic gear selector, air conditioning, power windows, and a Blaupunkt CR-3003 AM/FM Cassette. The driver’s seat shows a minor tear. Displaying 44,344 miles at the time of listing (title reads mileage exempt), the carburettors are said to have been rebuilt in 2017. With its original owner’s manual, this 1977 Aston Martin AM V8 Coupe can be found here on Auto Hunters by a dealer in Northfield, Illinois with five days remaining in the auction.


2000 BMW 323i/M3 Touring

The BMW E46, introduced in 1998, was then and remains one of the most beloved of all 3-Series generations. Its design represents the peak of the Bangle era and has gone on to become ageless. Its anolog mechanics were advanced without being fussy. It speaks of a time when the everyday driving experience took precedence over the practicality of an SUV, when rear-wheel-drive station wagons made the ideal touring car. To that end, it’s no surprise that the E46 Touring (wagon) was so popular in its day and remains sought after today. Second perhaps only to the E46 M3, a performance car that, with its 3.0-liter 333-hp S54 inline 6, made a formidable competitor to the Porsche 911, never mind direct competition from Mercedes-Benz and Audi. However, whereas the latter two had wagon versions of their performance compacts (C 43 Touring, S4 Avant), BMW had no such model. It begged the question what if, and that is precisely what one owner of a 2000 BMW 323i did: converted it to a what-if M3 Touring. Its painstaking modifications include: M3 hood, fenders, kidney grilles, side grilles, and side mirrors; M3 bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, and corner lights; BMW E46 Touring taillights with clear signal lenses; front bumper reflectors removed; M3 fender liners, front brake ducts, and belly pan; custom-fit M3 rear bumper; and M3 trunk floor. Inside we find M3 seats and door panels re-upholstered with red Nappa leather; a suede-wrapped headliner and A/B/C pillars; a ZHP shift knob; M tri-color shift boot and parking brake handle; M3 rearview mirror; M3 dead pedal; and M Sport door sills. The heart and true beauty of an M3 lies in its drivetrain, suspension and brakes. To that extent, this 323i/M3 Touring was fitted with an S54 inline-6 engine swap (~183,000 miles at the time of the swap); Lang Racing Development resurfaced and balanced crankshaft; Beisan Systems VANOS upgrades; a 6-speed Getrag 420G manual transmission (~183,000 miles at the time of the swap); a full factory M3 exhaust system; M3 exhaust manifold gaskets, section 1 and 2 gaskets, and exhaust hangers; UUC Motorwerks Stage 2 lightweight flywheel and clutch kit; M3 driveshaft, flex disk, differential, axles, and limited-slip differential; rear subframe reinforcement; front M3 subframe; Bilstein PSS9 coilovers; M3 steering rack; M3 front control arms, tie rods, spindles, front and rear sway bars, and top hats; polyurethane rear trailing arm bushings; front and rear M3 brake calipers; and M3 brake pads, rotors, brake lines, brake booster, and master cylinder. A true, faithful M3 Touring fairy tale, this 2000 BMW 323i/M3 Touring is now being offered for sale on Cars & Bids, with an always entertaining review by Doug DeMuro, closing June 19, 2025 at 1:25 p.m. EDT.

2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Some six decades since the official importation of the first 356 to Canada in 1961, the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto showcases the continuing strength of the Canadian market for Porsche. To announce its opening, this 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS was designed specifically by Porsche Cars Canada alongside Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur department. Unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, this car is a stunning showcase of the abilities of the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur “Sonderwunsch” (special wishes) program to design and create automobiles that are unique in every aspect. Undeniably Canadian from every angle, the livery on the PECTO GT3 RS is a homage to the Canadian flag utilizing Porsche’s own shades of Guards Red and White and showcases fanatical attention to detail. The offset exterior color split is delineated by the location of the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock marker, with each side of the car boasting deviated accent colors from the main exterior color apparent on that respective side, including the GT3 RS side graphics, maple leaf painted on the roof, the outer lips of the black forged magnesium wheels, maple leaf painted on the centerlocks, Porsche script underneath the rear wing, and the PECTO logo on either side of the rear wing. The theme carries through to the GT3 RS’ interior with Pepita inserts on the seat centers and door cards in deviating red and white, red and white contrast stitching on the doors, red and white pass-throughs on the carbon fiber bucket seats, PECTO logos on the headrests, alongside Guards Red seat belts and the chrono stopwatch dial and tachometer in white. Replacing the usual ‘GT3 RS’ script on the illuminated doorsills is an outline of the Toronto skyline, illuminated in red and white. In addition to the car’s incredible color scheme, the PECTO GT3 RS remains exceptionally well-optioned including the Weissach package, 90-liter fuel tank, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with calipers in Gloss Black, front axle lift, preparation for Porsche dashcam, passenger footwell mounted fire extinguisher, LED-Matrix Design headlights in black, Exclusive Design taillights, Bose Surround Sound system, automatic dimming mirrors with integrated rain sensor, pedals and footrest in aluminum, and traffic sign recognition.

1986 Audi Coupe GT

You would be hard-pressed to find any automotive enthusiast who doesn’t have a certain regard for the Audi ur-Quattro, the homologated version of the turbocharged four-wheel-drive coupé that dominated world rally in the early ’80s. It singlehandedly moved Audi from sedate Teutonic but upscale family car to a motorsport powerhouse that will see a Formula 1 entry in 2026. Lesser known is Audi Coupe GT, a more sedate (naturally aspirated, front-wheel-drive), Teutonic (no box-flared fenders) yet sporty two-door fastback. Introduced to American buyers in late 1981, the Coupe shared its drivetrain with the earlier 4000 5+5 two-door notchback (tip: find one, buy it), combining a peppier-than-it-sounds 100-hp 2.1-liter inline-5 with a 5-speed manual gearbox, enough to move the circa 2,500-lb car to 60 in 10.5 seconds and on to 109 mph. 14″ alloy wheels and low-profile tires contribute to the Coupe’s excellent handling. Even though the public never caught on, the automotive press loved it. Road & Track had dubbed this Audi “the best sports coupe” in its August 1981 “10 Best Cars for the Eighties” issue, and, in May 1985, Car and Driver would call it “the automotive equivalent of the natural athlete.” Minor changes were made throughout the early years and in 1985, a facelift, which in addition to better-integrated bumpers, smoother lower body panels, a sloped grille and flush headlamps, would add an additional 100 cc’s and 10 horsepower, resulting in a 0–60 in just over 9 seconds (respectable for the day). Despite nearly 170,000 Coupes made between 1981 and 1987, very few come up for sale (about a third as many as the ur-Quattro, which itself doesn’t exactly flood the market). This 1986 Audi Coupe GT is a one-year-only Commemorative Edition featuring Red leather and features a digital instrument cluster. It is finished in Graphite Metallic and comes equipped with 15″ wheels, a sunroof, a rear wiper, and power-operated windows. An aftermarket Alpine head unit is noted as the only modification. Imperfections consist of exterior chips and scratches, a ding on the rear hatch, some curb scratches on the wheels, wear and creases on the driver’s seat, some stains on the headliner, and some corrosion on underbody components. The seller reports that the A/C is inoperative, the car idles roughly when cold, the digital dash is intermittent, the hand crank does not operate the sunroof, and the driver’s door window is noisy when operating. In addition, the odometer is said to operate intermittently. As a result, this Audi is offered as True Mileage Unknown, or TMU. The attached Carfax report shows no mileage discrepancies, and the odometer currently displays 65,969 miles. With two keys, the owner’s manuals, service records, and various spare parts including A/C components, grille, and dash pad, this 1986 Audi Coupe GT is for sale on Cars & Bids out of Sausalito, California with five days remaining in the auction.


1996 Bentley Continental R

The star of the 1991 Geneva Auto Show, the Bentley Continental R is often referred to as “a Rolls-Royce for the driver.” It was Bentley’s first stand-alone model following its separation from Rolls-Royce, the first Bentley to have its gear selector on the transmission tunnel, and at the time, the most powerful—and most expensive—production Bentley ever. The Continental name itself evoked the magnificent high-performance Bentley S2 of the late ’50s and early ’6os, while the R stood for “roadholdiing,” which for a 210″ long, 5,340-lb car, it did reasonably well. The Mulliner Park Ward-built body of this 1996 Bentley Continental R is finished in British Racing Green and features bright mesh grilles, quad headlamps, chrome trim along the bumpers and window surrounds, and dual exhaust outlets. It rides on 17″ five-spoke Bentley alloy wheels fitted with Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza tires from 2022 and driven approximately 5,000 miles. The paint benefits from ceramic coating, and the seller notes minor touched-up stone chips, along with a small dent on the passenger-side front fender. The cabin is upholstered in Soft Tan leather with green piping and matching door panels, carpets, and mouton wool overlays, complemented by rich burled walnut veneers that accent the dashboard, center console, and door tops. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, a leather- and wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a cassette stereo system. A factory-installed glovebox-mounted mobile phone remains in place, though it is not connected. The seller notes two minor hairline cracks in the wood finish. Power comes from a turbocharged and intercooled 6.75-liter V8 engine featuring an aluminum block and heads, generating a factory-rated 385 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven through a 4-speed GM 4L80-E automatic transmission. The Continental R features a fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS). Standard equipment includes a mineral oil hydraulic system with dual brake accumulators and rear suspension accumulators for consistent braking and self-leveling ride control. Showing 46,624 miles at the time of listing, the car is said to have been fully serviced and is ready for continued use, with no known mechanical issues noted. This sale will include the owner’s manuals, a spare tire, a car cover, a battery charger, a custom leather front and rear window sunscreen, and a clean title. It’s listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in Fort Lauderdale with five days left to bid.

2000 Porsche 911 GT3 MK 1

If the 996-generation Carrera can be considered a bargain 911, at the opposite end of the spectrum is that generation’s GT3. It was a continuation of the RS 911s that date back to the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 up through the 993-generation RS 3.8. But instead of being a homologation special like the RSs, the GT3 arrived as a driver’s 911. It borrowed from the extensive Porsche motorsports playbook, including the Mezger-designed normally aspirated 360-hp 3.6-liter engine that was a derivative of the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1, as well as a Weissach-developed six-speed manual gearbox with limited slip, and a stiffer and lower suspension with adjustable coil-overs, uprated front wheel bearings, beefier rod ends, and adjustable anti-roll bars. The brakes are bigger than its bargain sibling, with six-pot calipers in the front and four-pot in the rear. It shares the wide body with the Turbo though without the flared arches and side air intakes. The unique rear wing, combined with a unique front fascia and side skirts reduce drag and provide additional downforce. The US was denied the GT3 until the 996.2 generation in 2004, but thanks to the 25-year-rule, the coveted MK 1 (996.1) 911 GT3 is now fair game this year. The first and only GT3 to be built at the Porsche Development Center Weissach, production was limited to 1,860 units worldwide. It was also the first production car to lap the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife in under eight seconds, with the legendary Walter Röhrl at the wheel in 1999. This 2000 Porsche 911 GT3 was bought new in Germany and owned for the first 16 years by a famous world champion Rally car driver (documented in a binder full of history). It wears its all-original Black [A1A1] paint and comes equipped from the factory with [197] Strong Battery, [321] Porsche CDR 22 Stereo, [441] Radio Preparation, [571] Charcoal Filter, [573] Air Conditioning, and [981] Leather Dashboard and Door Panels. Furthermore, it was sent to Werk 1 for Sonderwunsch special-order items [09981], [09991] that included Leather Recaro Hard Shell Seats and a Roll Cage. It remains entirely original save for Cargraphic 100cell cats and mufflers.
(original mufflers and cats are included). Displaying around 40,000 kilometers (~25,000 miles), recent maintenance includes an engine oil and filter service, replacement of fuel filter, pollen filter, air filter, windshield wipers, spark plugs, belts, and hood shocks, as well as a brake fluid flush. There a less than 500 miles on a new clutch pack and transmission fluid. This was the first time the clutch had been replaced on this car. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are said to have travelled less than 1000 miles since being installed in 2022. With all keys, owner’s manuals, complete tool case, and history binder, this 2000 Porsche 911 GT3 is offered for sale by its owner in Jupiter, Florida on Rennlist Marketplace at an asking price of $169,996.


2005 Ferrari F430

While the Ferrari F430, which debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, was an evolution of the successful mid-engine V8 formula that began with the 308 GTB/GTS, it also represented a big step forward for Ferrari. Though somewhat similar in appearance to its predecessor, the 360 Modena. the 430 featured a more aggressive front end with large intakes inspired by the Ferrari 156 F1 that Phil Hill drove to the 1961 F1 World Championship. The car’s profile reveals sharp, flowing lines that channel air efficiently along its sculpted Pinifarina-designed bodywork. More importantly came substantial technological advancements. Making nearly 485 hp from a 4.3-liter naturally aspirated V8, the F430 hit 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. The F430 was also Ferrari’s first road car to incorporate the innovative “E-Diff,” an electronic differential designed to enhance cornering stability, and the “Manettino” steering wheel dial, allowing drivers to switch between dynamic driving modes, tailoring the car’s behavior to road or track conditions. It sold well with total production estimated to be just above 15,000 units, but by the time Ferrari released the F430, many manufacturers were focused on outright speed and less on driver engagement. There was an industry-wide obsession with Nürburgring lap times and 0 – 60 figures, which meant manual transmissions began falling out of favor—even the early flappy paddle gearboxes fired off faster shifts than what was humanly possible. As such, Ferrari and other OEMs began to gradually phase out models with manuals, with Ferrari ending production of manual-equipped cars in 2010. As we now know, driver engagement still proved to be relevant with, well, drivers and manual gearboxes are now coveted. This example, then, is a quintessential example of an F430 Coupe. Delivered new to Ferrari of Atlanta, this 2005 Ferrari F430 is finished in classic Rosso Corsa over Cuoio Leather and equipped from the factory with Electrically Operated Seats, Upholstered Top, Leather Upholstered Rear Bench, and a High-power Hi-Fi Sound System. Most importantly, it came from the factory with a gated 6-speed manual gearbox (not a conversion). The car has passed through three owners, amassing a relatively spare 8,5,72 miles with no accidents in its history. No records of service are published, however it is complete with two keys, books, tool case, and fitted luggage.

1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 E

As the “Q-ship” battles among German sport sedans were heating up in the late ’80s and early ’90s, to one-up BMW’s newly introduced 310-hp E34 M5, Mercedes stuffed the 322-hp 5.0-liter M119 V8 from the R129 SL 500 under the bonnet of its W124 E-Class. Its engineers, however, had their hands and minds full with core-competency products like the W140 S-Class. Enter Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche, Kunstruktion und Beratung für Motoren und Fahrzeugbau (Honorary Doctor of Engineering of Porsche Construction and Consulting Services for Engines and Vehicles) AG —or as we know it simply as Porsche—just up the road (B10). In 1990, Porsche was facing serious financial strain after developing the 85% new 964, on top of plummeting sales of its transaxle offerings. As a provider of “construction and consulting services for engines and vehicles,” they were more than willing to lend hands and minds. Fitting the M119 required a widening of the engine bay, and along with it those subtly muscular fender flares. The issue was that this wider W124 would no longer fit on the assembly line without significant and cost-prohibitive modifications. Re-enter Porsche, specifically the hand-build Reutter werks. Mercedes-Benz shipped parts to be assembled then brought the body-in-white back to be painted at their Sindelfingen facility. Then it was back to Porsche for engine installation and final assembly before returning to Sindelfingen for inspection and delivery. The process to build a single 500 E took 18 days and nearly DM90,000. It’s a remarkable collaboration of two Stuttgart titans that we’re not likely to see again. But to some customers, remarkable wasn’t good enough, and when their 500 E was picked up from Sindelfingen, the car went promptly up to Affalterbach for further tuning by AMG. This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 E was originally sold new in Lexington, Kentucky where it remained dealer serviced with the original owner until joining a collection in 2019. The car is finished in Black Pearl Metallic [199] with gray lower body cladding. Equipment includes lower front fog lights, headlight wipers, 500 E-specific headlights, and a power sunroof. The car features a facelift update at the front, including an updated waterfall-style hood, grille, and headlights from a 1994 E 500. The current owner has done a three-step paint correction in preparation for the sale. 199 Black Pearl Metallic has a fragile clear coat that crazes over time and this car exhibits none of those side effects. The cabin features front and rear Recaro designed sport seats upholstered in Anthracite Leather [271], which continues to each door card. Burl wood trim accents the dashboard, center stack in the front and rear, and door panels. Minor cracks in the wood veneer can be seen around the window switches. Equipment includes power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual front airbags, an electric rear roller blind, automatic climate control, and a Becker Grand Prix stereo. The Becker head unit was rebuilt in 2019 along with the shifter bushings, air conditioning compressor, and dryer being replaced in February 2023. Floor mats are missing. The Porsche-tuned 5.0-liter M119 V8 was factory rated at 322 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed 722.3 automatic transmission. Showing 56,502 miles at the time of listing, its history shows dealer servcing during the original owner’s tenure which ended in 2019. The most recent service was performed by Mercedes-Benz of Nashville. The faux leather air intake boot covers are still intact. The air conditioning control module and an oil change was performed in 2019 along with a brake fluid flush. The current seller changed the fuel filter and fuel pumps in preparation for the sale. The previous owner performed major service in February 2023 that included the replacement of the following parts:transmission fluid flush; rear end links; front spindle bushings; control arms; tie rods; wheel-speed sensors; air filter and intake tubes; belt tensioner; water pump; coolant flush; thermostat; oil pan gasket; oil level sender; lower engine harness; spark plugs; exhaust hangers; fuel filter; valve cover gaskets; camshaft seals; an air conditioning compressor and dryer. With the owner’s manual, service records, a tool kit, a clean Carfax, and a clean Kentucky title, this 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 E is now listed on The MB Market with six days left to bid.

1964 Porsche 356 C

The 356–the Porsche that started it all—was last revised as the C version for the 1964 model year. With a 74-hp engine carried over from the B version’s 1600 Super, along with the T6 body style first introduced in 1962, the 356 C nevertheless remained popular, particularly with purists who found the 911 too much of a family car. The most important technical change in the 356 C was new four wheel ATE disc brakes, combined with the thicker diaphragm clutch previously reserved for the outgoing Super 90. This 1964 Porsche 356 C, chassis № 216508, comes finished from the factory in Champagne Yellow [6405] with Green Leatherette [K], and optioned with a Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM/SW radio and Chrome Wheels, both of which it retains. It wears an older repaint that is showing some wear, while the original floor pans have some corrosion. The original interior is also showing its age. Mechanically however, it is said to start instantly, and idle, accelerate, turn, and brake well after a recent top-end motor refresh, carb rebuild, starter, fuel pump, brakes, shocks, steering coupler, all filters, fluids, plugs, etc. A “sweet driving car,” according to its owner in Deerfield, Illinois. It’s listed here at The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) at an asking price of $91,000.


1992 Ferrari 512 TR

While the 308 GT/GTS tends to come to mind most often at the mention of “Ferrari,” in many people’s minds, a close second might be the Testarossa. Taking its name from the 250 and 500 Testarossa sports racing cars from the late ’50s, the successor to the 512 BBi was introduced at the Paris Auto Show in 1984. Its bold Pininfarina styling was a sensation with its large air intakes and “cheese grater” strakes directing air to them. Likewise, its 4.9-liter flat-12 featured four valves per cylinder for the first time. Producing 385 hp, it was the second-most powerful production car when it went on public sale for the 1985 model year (behind the Aston Martin V8 Vantage). The Testarossa became an instant bedroom poster car. It was further engrained in popular culture after Sonny Crockett replaced his beloved Daytona Spyder (a Corvette replica) with a (real) Testarossa early in the third season of Miami Vice. Not messing with a good thing, in 1991 the Testarossa was facelifted and badged the 512 TR. While similar in appearance, the body was smoothened to improve aerodynamics. Multiple updates to the mid-engined 12-cylinder flagship targeted both appearance and mechanical underpinnings. Weight distribution improved, while updated air intakes, engine management, headwork, and exhaust elevated output to 428 hp and 362 lb-ft of torque. From the driver’s seat, tactile improvements yielded faster gear changes of the 5-speed gated manual transaxle. This 1992 Ferrari 512 TR Prototype is presented in iconic Rosso Corsa over a Nero leather interior. With a reported 2,280 units having left Ferrari’s Maranello works by 1994, it is believed that only 408 were imported to the United States. Further, this early car stands as one of two pre-production US-market 512 TR Prototypes. Defining Pininfarina bodywork features pop-up headlights, five-spoke alloy wheels, and deep side strakes, while the two-seat interior opens to Connolly leather upholstery, benefiting from subtle changes over its predecessor for improved comfort and usability. This Prototype’s updated seat ergonomics, a redesigned three-spoke steering wheel, dashboard, and console showcase a pivotal moment in time and diligent preservation. Additional factory equipment consists of power windows, power-adjustable side door mirrors, air conditioning, and center console gauges. An aftermarket Eclipse AM/FM/CD stereo counts as the only significant interior modification. Service documentation states non-expense-spared routine care, including a recent engine out service. With 21,619 miles at the time of cataloguing, this 1992 Ferrari 512 TR is accompanied by owner’s literature, Schedoni leather luggage, a toolkit, car cover, fire extinguisher, and clean CarFax history. It’s being offered here at SOMO with the auction closing June 13, at 6:00 p.m. EDT.


1963 Maserati 3500 GTi

The Maserati 3500 GT model was introduced at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show in the form of two prototypes, from which Carrozzeria Touring’s 2+2 luxury coupe, overseen by works racer Giulio Alfieri, was chosen to enter production later that year. The 3500GT was Maserati’s first series production car, benefitting heavily from its previous racing experience. Beneath its elegantly styled Superleggera construction (aluminum body panels wrapped over a tubular steel spaceframe) sat a tubular chassis and a DOHC inline six-cylinder engine derived from the 350S sports car. With 220 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque, the 2800-ish pound 3500GT’s performance was on-par with contemporary road-bound Ferrari 250s and Aston Martin DB4s. In 1962, the model was further developed into the 3500 GTi, featuring increased power output and a 5-speed manual transmission. Retaining its predecessor’s Carrozzeria Touring-designed Superleggera coachwork, the GTi variant introduced subtle yet distinctive updates, including a slightly longer wheelbase, a lowered roofline, a slimmer chrome grille surround, rectangular front indicators, revised quarter windows, and taillight assemblies with three separate lenses. This 1963 Maserati 3500 GTi is finished in silver and rides aftermarket Borrani wire-spoke wheels with Pirelli tires from 2012 with 75% tread remaining. The seller notes a small imperfection on the nose, a spot repair was performed on the decklid, and a minor dent repair on the fender was carried out under prior ownership in 2011. The 2+2 cabin is trimmed in red leather upholstery covering the seats and door panels, contrasted by a black dashboard, instrument panel, and carpeting. A black-finished three-spoke steering wheel fronts Veglia instrumentation with chrome bezels, including a 240-km/h speedometer, 6k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. Additional interior features include chrome interior door handles, vent windows, toggle switchgear, and a floor-mounted gear selector. Power is provided by a 3.5-liter inline-six engine, which features Weber carburetors in place of the Lucas fuel injection installed under prior ownership. Derived from the Maserati 350S, the engine features an aluminum block and cylinder head, dual overhead camshafts, hemispherical combustion chambers, mechanical Marelli ignition, dual ignition, and dual fuel pumps. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a ZF 5-speed manual transmission paired with a limited-slip differential. The seller states the muffler has a small hole, resulting in a minor leak. A clean title, a toolkit, a spare tire, and a Viale Ciro Menotti Issue 105 magazine accompany the sale of this 1963 Maserati 3500 GTi, listed on PCARMARKET out of Jupiter, Florida with two days remaining in the auction.
