1977 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera

Initially targeting 400 cars to meet FIA homologation requirements, the Porsche 911 Turbo (930) was introduced to the public in October of 1974. The Turbo models were instantly distinguishable from their other 911 counterparts with their more aggressive bodywork, featuring wide fender flares that made way for widened Fuchs alloy wheels, a distinctive rubber front spoiler, and the iconic “whale tail” rear spoiler. The engine was based on the original Carrera RS 2.7 engine, its displacement increased to 3.0 liters before the addition of the large single turbocharger. The combination produced 245 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque at 11.5 lbs of boost. It went on sale to the public the following year, and another year later, it would make its way to the US (badged Turbo Carrera for its first two years). Automotive journalists at the time were stunned by its performance, exclaiming that it was “mania on wheels” in response to the sudden onset of power from the large KKK turbocharger and its inclination to oversteer. The public responded with a different kind of mania and by May of 1976, 1000 Porsche 911 Turbos had been built. This 1977 911 Turbo Carrera is one of 727 US-spec models built. It is finished in Platinum Metallic [055], believed to be mostly original with minor patina consistent with age (rear passenger corner has been sprayed). It was specified without the common sunroof option. The car sits at US-spec ride height with its original Fuchs alloy wheels wrapped in new Pirelli P7 classic tires. The Dark Brown leather interior is clean and unmodified. It came from the factory with desirable sport seats, and the air conditioning is said to be functioning well for the vintage. Displaying 54,393 miles at the time of listing, all mechanical systems operate as intended. The engine fan and housing have been refinished for presentation, while the rest of the engine bay remains in clean, honest condition. A complete documentation file dating back through its three-owner history accompanies the sale, along with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, original spare wheel, and tools. This 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera is listed on Rennlist Marketplace by Paragon Classics in Huntersville, North Carolina at an asking price of $215,000.


2005 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S

The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, introduced in 2001, epitomized Aston Martin’s prowess in luxury grand tourers, succeeding the Aston Martin Virage. Designed by Ian Callum, it made its debut at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show as the marque’s flagship model until 2007. Derived directly from the “Project Vantage” concept, it showcased Aston Martin’s future direction with advanced materials like carbon fiber and alloy, underpinned by a bespoke bonded aluminum chassis developed in collaboration with Lotus. The V12 Vanquish S debuted in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show, distinguished from the standard model by its 19″ 11-spoke alloy wheels, front splitter, larger grille, and raised boot lid with a larger integrated spoiler and a Vanquish S badge. The engine displacement remained at 5.9 liters, but power output increased from 460 hp to 520 hp by way of revised cylinder heads, fuel injectors, and remapped tuning. Torque increased from 400 lb⋅ft to 426 lb⋅ft. The V12 Vanquish S also incorporated the features of the optional Sports Dynamic Package (available for the Vanquish for the 2004 model year), which included stiffer suspension, revised steering, and larger brakes. This 2005 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S is finished in silver and equipped with fog lights, power mirrors, a chrome fuel cap, rear parking sensors, and polished dual exhaust outlets. The black leather interior features heated and power-adjustable front sport seats, twin rear seats, a three-spoke leather steering wheel with paddle shifters, push-button ignition, aluminum pedal covers, white instrument dials, automatic climate control, a CD/cassette stereo, and a navigation system. An Aston Martin-branded umbrella is mounted in the trunk. Showing 13,000 miles at the time of listing, this 2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S comes with service records, owner‘s manuals, a first aid kit, and a car cover. It’s listed on PCARMARKET by a dealer in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey with six days left to bid.


1998 BMW M3

Following the success of the BMW E30 M3 was a weighty task, combined with the added demands of aiming for a wider market. The second generation (E36) was introduced in 1992 as a sleeker, stronger M3. Purists took offense of it transitioning from a niche thoroughbred to a high-volume grand tourer, calling it a “Meh-3.” But others praised its refinement. Car and Driver named the M3 the best-handling car at any price in 1997. And that was for the North American version with the less powerful S52. The rest of the world took even greater joy in the 284-hp naturally aspirated S50B30 engine. This 1998 BMW M3 is a European-market coupe that was imported in 2023 and is now titled in North Carolina. It came finished in Cosmos Black Metallic. Factory-equipped includes a 6-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip differential, 17″ Style 39 wheels, an M3-specific body kit. It was also specified without a sunroof. The Black interior features leather upholstery covering heated Vader front sport seats. Wear is noted on the seats and door panels, and the headliner is sagging. Modifications reported by the selling dealer include a Supersprint axle-back exhaust system, MTS Technik coilovers, stainless-steel brake hoses, 5mm front wheel spacers, an E60 BMW 545i shifter, and an aftermarket insert in the center console. The door chime has also been disconnected. With 78,792 kilometers shown on a metric odometer, its service history in the past two years shows the kick panel, throttle bushings, and shifter were replaced; the throttle cable was adjusted; engine oil and filter, transmission fluid, differential fluid, and brake fluid were changed; the throttle body boots, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, drive belt, drive belt idler pulley, air conditioning compressor belt, MAF boot, timing chain tensioner crush washer, vent hoses, front brake pads and rotors, rear brake pads and rotors, brake hoses, hood struts, front exterior door handle gasket, door panel clips, passenger window regulator side blocks, BMW roundel, headlights, glovebox vent panel, trunk trim clips, and shift knob were replaced; coilovers were installed, an alignment was performed, the glovebox door panel was repaired, and the door panels were reupholstered. Service records accompany the sale. This RoW 1998 BMW M3 is being offered here on Cars & Bids with the auction closing November 18, 2025 at 3:38 p.m. EST.

1992 Porsche 911 America Roadster

Shortly after the introduction of the first Porsche, the 356, US importer Max Hoffman approached Porsche with the idea of a stripped-down 356-based car for weekend racers that was simpler and lighter; one that could compete with the British roadsters of the day. It would eventually become known as the Speedster in 1954, but two years earlier, Porsche answered with the Typ 540 K/9-1, more commonly known as the America Roadster. Only 21 units were built. Not surprisingly, the 1952 America Roadster is among the most special and highly coveted Porsches ever. Fast forward 40 years to 1992 and the 964 generation 911. In resurrecting the America Roadster name, Porsche announced that it too was something. The America Roadster was essentially a C2 Cabriolet with the Turbo’s wide fender flares. suspension, brakes, and 17″ Porsche Cup wheels (marketed as “Turbo look” outside of America). While not conceptually the same as the stripped-down, lightweight Typ 540, the 964 America Roadster was limited to 250 units, built between 1992 and 1993. This 1992 Porsche 911 America Roadster is finished in Black (respray prior to current ownership) over original Medium Gray leather interior with contrast seat piping, and the original black power-operated soft top. It’s equipped with cruise control, power-adjustable front seats, and an automatic power adjustable rear spoiler. Additions over the years include a Steve Wong Chips ECU tune, onboard battery tender, and aftermarket radio and speakers. The odometer shows 58,843 miles at the time of listing. The exterior and interior show minimal wear., however some worn stitching and a small 1.5″ tear are visible on the convertible top, and the typical small paint chips on the front and rear fenders. A small crack exists on the fully functioning rear spoiler, and some of the foam rubber door sill has eroded over time. The Carfax shows one minor accident to the driver’s side rear fender. A thorough inspection was performed upon the seller’s purchase last winter, which included leak down and compression tests, removing the inner fender to inspect the reported damage and a test drive. The results were a remarkably healthy engine with some minor seepage, but no oil leaks. No damage is visible to the inner fender from the reported accident. Under the seller’s care, he replaced the aftermarket clutch with an OEM Porsche clutch, repaired the front “frown” and a loose window, had the brake calipers repainted, including the “Porsche” script, replaced the hood crest with a silver & black crest, and added Rennline LED headlights and cupholders (the sale will include original hood crest, headlights & cassette holder). The car was professionally detailed including a 12-hour paint correction, 5-year ceramic coating, and top reconditioning and resealing. Worn oil lines were replaced at the last oil change (August 2025). This 1992 Porsche 911 America Roadster is now listed on Rennlist Marketplace by its seller in Oklahoma City at an asking price of $100,000.


1957 BMW 503 Cabriolet

At the end of WW2, BMW was in a much worse state than Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart because one of its major plants – the old Dixi works at Eisenach in Saxony – was within the Russian Zone and would soon be cut off from the West behind the “Iron Curtain”. Nevertheless, BMW recommenced car production in 1952 with the introduction of the 501 luxury saloon. In 1954, the 501 received a much needed boost in the form of a 2.6-liter V8 designed by Alfred Böning and constructed entirely of aluminum. Towards the end of 1955, a 3.2-liter version was introduced and the big saloon’s model designation changed to ‘502’. Sales Director Hanns Grewenig had been pressing for a V8-engined sports car for some time, but it was not until Mercedes-Benz introduced the 300SL that the project was given the green light. BMW was encouraged by Austrian-born entrepreneur Max Hoffman, at that time the US importer of various European makes, who knew just the man to style the car: Count Albrecht von Goertz, an independent industrial designer who had worked for the legendary Raymond Loewy on the latter’s trend-setting Studebakers. Designer of everything from fountain pens to furniture, Goertz had never before styled an entire car and would not work for BMW again until the 1980s. Goertz was commissioned to produce two different designs, a Coupe and a Cabriolet, both of which debuted in prototype form at the 1955 Frankfurt Auto Show. With its long bonnet, 2+2 seating and generously sized boot, the 503 looked every inch the elegant Grand Routier. Even Pinin Farina was impressed, declaring it to be the most beautiful car in the show. Bertone was appointed to manufacture the handcrafted aluminum Cabriolet bodies, and the 503 Cabriolet became the first German Cabriolet with electrically operated top and windows. Expensive and exclusive, 503s were built to an extremely high quality, and only 206 Coupes and 129 Cabriolets were produced between 1956 and 1960. This BMW 503 Cabriolet was completed at the Munich plant in May of 1957, finished in Papyros White, fitted with a Becker Mexico radio, and delivered to the first owner through legendary racing driver and automobile distributor, Autohaus Wilhelm Glöckler of Frankfurt, Germany. The sporting Cabriolet remained in Germany for some time, before being exported to the US. By the 1990s, the 503 had become part of the well-known Blackhawk Collection in Danville, California, and remained there until purchased by Robert Pond of Palm Springs, California. It is reported to have been in remarkably original condition at this point. While in Mr. Pond’s impressive collection, the 503 was treated to a comprehensive restoration that included a re-paint, re-trim of the interior and numerous mechanical refurbishments. It was later purchased by Connecticut-based enthusiast, Michael Schudroff, before being acquired by the Indigo Collection in 2009. While under their stewardship, the elegant Cabriolet was treated to a mechanical refurbishment by RM Restorations and tastefully upgraded with period-correct Rudge wheels. It was then acquired by Ronald Lauder, heir to the conglomerate Estee Lauder Corporation. In 2025, it was submitted to a thorough detailing from top to bottom including a Dry Ice detailing of the chassis and engine bay and paint touch ups to the trunk area. Service records from its current and previous owners accompany the sale, along with a factory certificate of authenticity, photos from a prior refurbishment or restoration, and period literature related to the vehicle for sale (i.e. a period magazine or brochure mentioning your vehicle make and model). This 1957 BMW 503 Cabriolet is now being offered here on SOMO with the auction closing November 25, 5:15 p.m. EST.


1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL

1971 marked the final year of the iconic Mercedes-Benz “Pagoda” SL series (W113), which debuted in 1963. Designed by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, the SL combined elegant styling with advanced safety features, including a concave hardtop roof that inspired the “Pagoda” nickname. The last of three variants, the 280 SL was powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six engine producing 170 hp. It featured Bosch mechanical fuel injection, independent rear suspension, and disc brakes on all four wheels. The 1971 model year saw minor updates, as production ended in February of that year. This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is a desirable four-speed manual example that received extensive refurbishment by Aventura Motos of Southampton, New York, before being acquired by the seller in July 2022. Work included stripping the body to bare metal before repainting it in Glasurit White [050], along with refinishing the chrome and bright trim. Mechanical work consisted of rebuilding the 2.8-liter inline-six and manual transmission. A replacement black convertible top covers a re-trimmed interior with red leather upholstery. Additional features include a removable hardtop, refinished bright work, a Becker Europa radio, and 14″ steel wheels with body-color hubcaps. instrumentation was reportedly rebuilt by Palo Alto Speedometer and now shows 53,100 miles (TMU). Find it on Hagerty Marketplace out of Victor, Idaho with 11 days remaining in the auction.

2004 RUF Rturbo

From his passion for sports cars—Porsche cars in particular—stemming from his father’s gas station and repair shop in Pfaffenhausen, Alois Ruf, Jr. took over the family business following Alois Ruf Sr.’s death in 1974. Three years later he debuted his first complete model in 1977, a tuned version of Porsche’s 911 Turbo with a stroked, 3.3-litre motor. Taking bodies-in-white from the Porsche production line, Ruf Autombobile GmbH, is recognized as an automobile manufacturer with its own unique VINs (W09 prefix). The 996-generation 911 saw the introduction of a motorsport-tuned GT2 model, featuring the body of the 911 Turbo, along with an enhanced twin-turbo engine developing 462 hp. While this was exceptional for its day, it wasn’t quite enough for RUF. Starting with the 911 Turbo’s 3.6, RUF replaced the valve train, revised the camshafts, modified the VarioCam system and KKK turbochargers, re-mapped the Bosch engine management, and installed a by-pass valve exhaust system along with quad outlets to produce up to 590 hp and a top speed in excess of 220 mph. The powerplant connects to the wheels (rear or option four-wheel drive) with the GT2’s hollow shaft transaxle, clutch, and limited-slip differential. This 2004 RUF Rturbo (W09 VIN) coupe was initially built for and registered to Alois Ruf, Jr. in Germany. Following display at the 2003 Essen Tuning Show, the car was purchased and imported by a dealer in Texas, where it remained from 2005 through 2022 before being reacquired out of California in 2024. It comes finished in Azzuro Lipari and features a carbon-fiber hood, revised front and rear valances, air intakes atop the rear fenders, a power-retractable rear wing, bi-xenon headlamps, and tinted front corner markers. The front bumper and fenders were repainted in August 2023 along with the side skirts. It rides on 18″ RUF modular wheels along with Öhlins coilovers featuring a hydraulically actuated Dual Ride Height System. Stopping power is provided by red-finished monoblock calipers over cross-drilled and ventilated four-wheel discs. The sway bar links were replaced in 2023, at which time the brake fluid was flushed. The cabin features Recaro fixed-back bucket seats that are trimmed in black leather with contrasting stitching, RUF logos debossed on the headrests, and body-color seatbacks. The integrated roll cage is trimmed in black Alcantara along with the headliner and sun visors, while RUF-branded floor mats cover the footwells. Additional appointments include a Becker Mexico Pro CD stereo, dual-zone automatic climate control, and storage pockets in the doors. The center console and ashtray were replaced in 2023. The three-spoke RUF steering wheel was refinished in 2023 and is accompanied by a RUF shift knob and drilled aluminum pedals. RUF-branded green-letter instrumentation consists of an 8k-rpm tachometer flanked by a 220-mph speedometer and gauges monitoring fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. Displaying 25,855 miles at the time of listing, a Protomotive intercooler was fitted in 2022, along with the replacement RUF exhaust system with a bypass valve. Additional service performed in 2023 involved replacing the fuel pump, sending unit, filter, and venturi tube along with the ignition coil and spark plugs. The underside was cleaned with dry ice in 2023, at which time the gearbox and differential fluids were changed, along with the engine oil and coolant. A RUF Zertifikat and a copy of Excellence magazine featuring the car are included in the sale, along with service records and a tool kit. A DriverSource 2024 Legends Collection commemorative CD and binder containing records and photos will also accompany the car. This 2004 RUF Rturbo is now available for immediate purchase at Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami with a price upon inquiry.


1967 Jaguar XKE Series 1 Roadster

The events leading up to the debut of the Jaguar E-Type (XKE in North American markets) on March 15, 1961 were nearly as thrilling as the car itself. Its development followed the success of the D-Type at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1950s. When the car was finally ready, demand for road tests from the British media was such that the E-Type scheduled for Geneva was still on UK shores on the evening of March 14. So, in fittingly dramatic style, Jaguar executive Bob Berry drove the car flat-out from the factory in Coventry all the way to the Parc des Eaux-Vives in Geneva—arriving just 20 minutes before the car was to be revealed to the world. Its stylish and iconic bodywork, with those faired-in headlights and the centred twin exhaust, instantly captivated anyone who looked upon it, including (reportedly) Enzo Ferrari, who called it “the most beautiful car ever made.” Compared to other sports cars of the day, it featured much more attractive specifications as well, such as an independent rear suspension and four-wheel disk brakes, all while coming in at a significantly more affordable price. Its beauty and driveability continue to make the E-Type a highly desirable blue-chip collectible, particularly the Series 1, with the covered headlamps, smaller mouth, and lighter weight. Among the Series 1s, it’s the early “flat floors” and the final-year 1967s that are most coveted. The 1967 models benefitted from continued refinement, which included the torquey 4.2-liter XK inline-6, full synchromesh gearbox, improved brakes and electrical systems, and more comfortable seats. This 1967 Jaguar XKE Series 1, № 14542, was completed on January 11, 1967 and delivered to Toronto, Ontario, where it was purchased by Dr. Joseph Starr on March 24th of that year. It came finished in Opalescent Dark Green and fitted with a black cloth convertible top and 15″ knock-off wire wheels (currently wrapped in Vredestein Sprint Classic tires). The cockpit features Black leather upholstery, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, North American-market Smiths instruments, a Panasonic AM/FM radio, and a black leather convertible top boot cover. The seller reports seats have been lowered 3/4″. During its high-caliber refurbishement, the numbers-matching engine and drivetrain were enhanced with a Pertronix electronic ignition and .030 pistons, boosting reliability while lending a slight increase in displacement and 9:1 compression. Work under previous ownership included a floor pan replacement, an overhaul of the suspension and braking systems, a new clutch with a resurfaced flywheel, a new convertible top, and ceramic coating. Extensive records from current and previous ownership, a Production Record Trace Certificate, tools, and more accompany the sale. This 1967 Jaguar XKE Roadster is being offered here on SOMO by a private party in Glendale, California with the auction closing November 20, 2025 at 5:15 p.m. EST.


1965 AC Cobra 289 Mk II

By 1961, Carroll Shelby had established his reputation as a racing driver and, ready to kick it up a notch, he set out to create the ultimate Anglo-American hybrid. AC Cars of Thames Ditton, England provided a nimble tubular frame and aluminum body in their Ace, highly reputed for its dexterity on the European circuit. Shelby then persuaded Ford to furnish their short-stroke 260-cubic-inch engine to complete the perfect union. Sold as the Shelby Cobra in the US and AC Cobra for the UK and European markets, the Cobra became an instant icon at its debut at the 1962 New York Motor Show. Sporting a four-speed manual gearbox, the prototype, chassis CSX 2000, weighed in at just 2,100 pounds and was campaigned across the United States. In 1963, Shelby upped the ante with the Cobra Mk II, notably upgrading the little Cobra to rack-and-pinion steering with a high-output 289-cubic-inch V-8 engine capable of 271 hp. The new powerplant made the 289 Cobra capable of rocketing from 0 – 60 mph in under 6 seconds on its way to a 130-mph top speed. The superb power-to-weight ratio enabled the newcomer to take the American car market by storm and cement Carrol Shelby’s place in the pantheon of American automotive personalities. After experiencing a friend’s Cobra Mk II, the seller’s mother ordered this 1965 AC Cobra Mk II for him from the AC Cars factory in June 1965. However, his father insisted the order be paused after discovering insurance on “the fastest accelerating car in the world” would be impossible for an 18-year-old driver. The car reportedly remained unfinished and in storage until 1986, when the seller inherited the Cobra following his mother’s death. He had known Brian Angliss, owner of AC Cars Ltd., for a number of years, and in 1989 Mr. Angliss asked the seller if he wanted the car to be completed. A deal was struck to carry out the order in exchange for collectible Mauser Broomhandle firearms. It was restored to the original specification and colors, along with an upgraded alloy intake manifold and 650 cfm Holley carburetor to push power from 271 hp to more than 300. Mr. Angliss had fit the car with non-original chrome wire wheels, but the owner wished to use his original set of Dunlop-manufactured 70-spoke enameled wheels. The owner notes that the front right wheel arch has a slight flat in the radius (shown in photos), which he states denotes that the alloy body was handmade on the original AC Cars “wooden bucks” like all original Mark II Cobras. In recent years, the owner was invited to run some laps at the Concours d’Elegance at Circuit Zolder in 2017, which he knows well, having won the 2000 Grand Prix at that location, and after completing some 20 laps received a standing ovation from the marshals. This Cobra has also been featured in four major European automotive magazines, including covers on Motor Klassik and Classic Cars. Having clocked a mere 6,399 miles at the time of cataloguing, the 1965 AC Cobra Mk II is now being sold publicly for the first time here on SBX Cars by its owner in Gers, France with the auction closing

2000 BMW M5

The BMW E39 M5 arrived in 1999 for the 2000 model year. It featured unique bodywork, including a revised front bumper, side skirts, M-design mirrors, a trunk lid spoiler, and a rear valence with quad exhaust outlet. It marked the first time a V8 engine was used in an M-car. The 4.9-liter naturally aspirated S62 made 394 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, propelling the M5 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds on its way to a 161 mph top speed. With its variable valve timing for both the intake and exhaust cams, as well as individual throttle bodies for its octet of cylinders, this is among the finest engines ever to leave Munich. It is among the reasons—along with a crisp 6-speed manual gearbox, a limited-slip differential, M Servotronic power steering control, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), an M sport suspension, and ventilated anti-lock disc brakes—the E39 is widely considered “peak M5” and the seminal executive sport sedan of the early 20th century. This 2000 BMW M5 remained with its original owner before joining a California-based collection in 2019. It was purchased by the seller in the Fall of 2024. It is finished in Silverstone Metallic [425] with gloss black Shadowline trim.

1965 Chevrolet Impala 409-340 Wagon

While the Audi RS6 Avant, BMW M5 Touring, and Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG T-modell have become relatively common sights on the Autobahn, the idea of a performance wagon was the stuff of musings among German engineers prior to the mid- to late-’80s. However, decades earlier, Detroit automakers were dropping their most potent V8 engines into their long-roof grocery getters to create a niche that’s become known as the muscle wagon. One such example is Chevrolet’s Impala. Introduced in 1958 as Chevy’s bread-&-butter full-sized offering, the Impala was available as a sleek 2-door coupe, a quotidian 4-door sedan, and a family-oriented station wagon. There were plenty of engine choices to meet the needs and desires of new car buyers, ranging from a sedate inline-6 to a big-block V8. Entering the fourth generation in 1965, the top non-RPO (Regular Production Option) V8 was the iconic 409 (made that much more iconic by the Beach Boys song, “409”). This would be the final year for the 409. This 1965 Chevrolet Impala Station Wagon is one of only 82 built with the 340-hp 409. The original owner was Raymond Plociniak who owned and operated an auto repair shop and fueling station in Moscow, Pennsylvania. He purchased the wagon new at Bus Kelly Chevrolet, also in Moscow, on February 13, 1965. After Raymond passed away in June 1982, the wagon was stored for nearly 42 years in the family barn. The original trim tag confirms it to be a factory Black car and it presents as an unrestored example. Glass is original, with the exception of a replacement windshield. The car rides on standard 14″ wheels, capped by period-correct mag-style wheel covers and dressed in newer period-correct whitewall bias ply tires. There are some moderate rust issues appearing in the typical areas: extreme lower front fenders, small pimples at the rear wheel openings, and no shortage of surface scaling where the paint has deteriorated. The worst is the center frame rails that were reinforced decades ago. All the floor pans and lower rocker panels appear to be very solid, including the rear storage compartment floor. The Red vinyl interior presents as 95% factory original including the headliner, carpet, door panels, dash pad, etc., while thecenter section of the front seat was replaced with original SMS material. The original air conditioning works but it’s not very cold, however the heater, defroster, and all controls are said to work great, as does the factory AM-FM radio with rear speaker, along with the wipers, horns, lighter, clock, all lights, signals, and back-up lights. Appointments include a factory tilt steering column, power steering, power brakes, a power rear tailgate window, and dual outside mirrors. The car retains its original, numbers-matching 409, now fully serviced and in excellent running condition. The carburetor, distributor, alternator, A/C compressor, water pump, Harrison radiator, clutch fan, brake booster, power steering assembly, etc., are all original components that were on this car when it was new. Replacement items include the fuel pump, master cylinder, gas tank, battery, brakes and rubber lines, rebuilt original carburetor, and new exhaust.
The original Powerglide automatic reportedly shifts perfectly, driving the rear wheels via the original 12 bolt, 3,31 ratio positraction rear end. Approximately 300 miles have been added since being resurrected. With five original build sheets, the original Protect-O-Plate and Protection Plan booklet, owner’s manual, accessory booklet, AM-FM radio pocket guide with operating instructions, and insurance book with records and registrations ending in 1983, this 1965 Chevrolet Impala is arguably the most documented factory 409 wagon in existence. Find it here at House of Hardtops in Portland, Oregon at an asking price of $42,950.

1973 Porsche 914 2.0

Despite outselling its 911 sibling nearly two-to-one in the 1960s, the 4-cylinder Porsche 912 was becoming increasingly costly to produce (and thus turn a profit without approaching the price of an entry level 911—which it nearly had). Thus Volkswagen was brought in to help develop its replacement. The Wolfsburg company was at the time under a long-time contract with Porsche and, looking to propagate their own “sports coupe” position, used the opportunity to fulfill that contract. Originally intending to sell the vehicle with a flat-4 engine as a Volkswagen and with a flat-6 engine as a Porsche, Porsche decided during development that having Volkswagen and Porsche models sharing the same body would be risky for business in the American market, and convinced Volkswagen to allow them to sell both versions as Porsches in North America (the 4-cylinder would be sold as VW-Porsche elsewhere). All looked to be a win-win. However, development became complicated after the death of Volkswagen’s chairman, Heinrich Nordhoff. His successor, Kurt Lotz, was not connected with the Porsche dynasty and the verbal agreement between Volkswagen and Porsche fell apart. In Lotz’s opinion, Volkswagen had all rights to the model, and no incentive to share it with Porsche if they would not share in tooling expenses. With this decision, the marketing concept for the 914 had failed before series production had begun. As a result, the price of the chassis went up considerably, and the 914/6 ended up costing as much as the 912 it had replaced, and only a bit less than the 911T. The 1.7-liter VW-powered 914/4 thus had to serve as the entry-level Porsche and this was never found to be acceptable by Porsche purists. It wasn’t until 1973, when the partially Porsche-engineered 2.0-liter fuel-injected version of the VW flat-4 found its way into the 914. Sentiments thawed somewhat, but by then the 914 was already saddled with the image of nothing more than a rebadged Volkswagen. Today, however, with the acceptance of a Porsche 4-door, an SUV, and an electric future, the 914 2.0 is appreciated for what it always has been: a mid-engine, low center-of-gravity, genuine sports car that is Porsche to the core. That said, the 914 was built in the days before the revolutionary “hot dip” galvanization and many have decomposed or are on the verge. Finding a solid car with no rust (particularly in the infamous “hell hole” battery tray) is increasingly challenging. This 1973 Porsche 914 2.0 comes from the third California owner, with the first two living across from each other. It wears its original Sonnengelb (L13K Suflower Yellow) paint. The Black interior features yellow/black Tartan cloth inserts from a Golf GTI. The car was completely gone through in 2018 after sitting in a garage in Central California for 20 years. Fuel lines, tank, and injectors were replaced at that time. A PMB five lug conversion was performed and the car now sits on 16″ Fuchs-style wheels dressed in fresh tires. The car has some small dings and dents but is said to run, drive and shift superbly after a new clutch and lots of vacuum seal work has been done in the last year. A custom stainless exhaust was fashioned by Ben McFarland. Find this 1973 Porsche 914 2.0 here at The Mart (Porsche Club of America Classifieds) in Folsom, California at an asking price of $30,000.


1986 Saab 90

Though the Saab 99 was discontinued in the US after the introduction of the 900 in 1979, it was sold alongside its successor until 1984 elsewhere. A large part of this was due to its manufacturing taking place entirely in Uusikaupunki (Nystad), Finland as the 900 was being produced in Trollhätten. However, once the 99 was finally killed off, it left the manufacturer, Valmet Automotive, with a potential deficit. The solution came by way of a joint venture with Saab, Saab-Valmet, whereby it would continue building the 99 for the Finnish market, now only as a 2-door notchback, and with said back coming from the 900. The result was one of the quirkiest creations from a carmaker known for its quirkiness. So as not to confuse the “new” car with either the old 99 or the rest-of-world 900, the car was badged as the 90. Additional modifications for Finnish driving conditions included a more robust gearbox, larger fuel tank, and larger luggage compartment, along with a revised rear suspension. In total, 25,378 Saab 90s were made between September 1984 and 1987 (Valmet would go on to build the Porsche Boxster). This 1986 Saab 90 is presented with all original bodywork finished in its original Cirrus White [153] along with its original rust proofing material throughout. This example was ordered without the optional sunroof and today carries on as a desirable “slicktop.” The interior features Colorado [C33] (Burgundy) velour upholstery with matching carpets, said to be in immaculate condition. All of the lights, gauges, switches, horn, wipers, heat, fan etc. reportedly function properly. Power comes from a carburetted 2.0-liter inline-4 rated at 99 hp mated to an optional close-ratio 5-speed manual gearbox. Said to be very well maintained and meticulously cared for since new, the metric odometer displays 163,763 kilometers (101,758 miles). Now 100% U.S DOT legal, with a clean & clear title, this 1986 Saab 90 is available at MGM Classic Cars in Addison, Illinois at an asking price of $14,990.


1998 Volvo C70 Coupé

At the beginning of the 1990s, Volvo decided to expand its passenger car program with a coupé and a cabriolet. The two versions would be developed in parallel and built on the technological base of the 850 model. A small project group was formed in early 1994 and Håkan Abrahamsson was appointed project manager. Volvo had limited experience in developing such a characteristically niche product, and they were in quite a rush. They therefore chose to cooperate with the British engineering firm TWR, Tom Walkinshaw Racing, who were already involved with Volvo’s racing team in the BTCC. The development period for the C70 was brief—it took just 30 months from the first studies until the first cars were produced. The collaboration with TWR was crucial in achieving this, and the project costs were more manageable. The new C70 Coupé was introduced at the Paris Motor Show on September 30, 1996. It was Volvo’s first “proper” coupé since the 1800 model and naturally brought enthusiastic reports from both journalists and prospective customers. It was crucial that the speed matched the appearance. The C70 was therefore launched exclusively with five-cylinder turbo engines. The strongest engine, at 2.3 liters and 236 hp, was shared with the Volvo 850R. Interiors, meanwhile, combined perfect ergonomics with exclusive interior materials like real leather and genuine wood, and one of the world´s best sound systems at the time with loudspeakers from the Danish prestige brand Dynaudio, Dolby Surround, and an amplifier with up to 4×100 watts. Designer José Diaz de la Vega led the design work for the interior, who also developed the 17 different exterior colors. Among the most striking of those is Saffron Pearl, like we find on this 1998 Volvo C70 Coupé. Additional features include 17″ wheels, headlight wipers, fog lights, and a sunroof. Some chips and scratches are noted around the exterior, as are scrapes under the front lip; worn and cracked rear windshield molding, and some rust adjacent to the hood latch (treated). The seller reports that the passenger’s side door does not unlock with the key fob. The cabin is appointed in Grey Premium Leather upholstery (full leather seat upholstery, stitched leather door panel trim) with power-adjustable and heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Power comes from a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-5, rated at 236 horsepower and 244 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. Performance modifications include an IPD/TME cat-back exhaust, Samco silicone turbocharger piping, IPD springs, IPD sway bars, Bilstein shocks, and an aftermarket strut tower brace. Showing 53,307 miles at the time of listing, service documentation indicates that the following parts have been purchased and/or maintenance has been performed: four-wheel alignment performed; front lower control arms purchased; front and rear brake rotors and pads purchased; a set of 4 new tires installed; A/C refrigerant recharged, brake fluid flushed/changed, engine mount(s) and timing belt replaced, tires mounted and balanced, front upper strut mounts replaced; headliner replaced; PCV breather system, spark plugs, wires, distributor, upper engine torque rod bushings, front driver’s side axle seal, and front lower control arms/ball joints replaced. Service records and parts receipts from current and previous ownership accompany the sale, along with two standard keys and one valet key, a spare passenger’s side door latch, and three CD changer cartridges. This 1998 Volvo C70 Coupé is listed here on Cars & Bids by a private party in Valley Center, California with the auction closing November 11, 2025 at 3:46 p.m.

1993 Porsche 928 GTS

If you’ve been following the Stuttgart Market Letter (and you should), you‘ve undoubtedly observed that 2025 may turn out to be “The Year of the Shark,” a nickname given to the Porsche 928 for its aggressive, sleek mien. Though initially intended as the 911’s replacement, the thinking behind the Porsche 928 was a larger, more touring biased performance car. Its front mounted V8, combined with the widely available automatic gearbox aimed to reach a broader market, particularly in the US. It was updated over its 18-year lifespan, finally evolving into a true enthusiast’s motorcar—in other words, a Porsche. Now powered by a 32-valve four-cam 5.4-liter V8 producing 350 hp, the 928 GTS, introduced in 1992, could propel the 3,600-lb car to 60 in 5.3 seconds, roughly matching the contemporary 911 Carrera (964 generation). The GTS took on some of the more iconic styling queues from the 911 as well, such as flared rear fenders, 17″ Cup-style wheels, Cup mirrors, and a red reflective “heckblende” between the taillamps. This North American-spec Porsche 928 GTS is one of only 88 built in 1993 for the 1993 model year. It came factory finished in Slate Grey Metallic [22D] and equipped with a desirable 5-speed manual gearbox, as well as a rear wiper, a color-matched rear spoiler, and muffler delete (original muffler included in the sale), along with force-sensitive power steering, factory sport suspension, and vented full disc brakes. The cabin features Black [UN] leather seating, and is appointed with power windows, locks and seats, a power sunroof, dual air bags, air conditioning with optional rear air, a factory alarm system, and an aftermarket Blaupunkt head unit. Paint and wheels show some minor chips, while the interior has some creases on the front seats and wear on some interior touch points, however none of the common cracks and warpage seen in many 928 dashboards (though a crack is noted in the instrument display). Showing 37,261 miles at the time of listing, its recent service history shows an A/C fan control unit and thermal switch replacement, an A/C system recharge, replacement of a fuel injector, wheel bearing seal, front suspension bushings, clutch, flywheel, and washer reservoir, a rebuild of the front brake calipers with powder coating, and an engine oil and filter change. A pre-purchase inspection report notes “very minor seepage coming from the oil pan gasket and valve covers,” “minor cracking showing on the engine mounts” (replacement mounts are included with the sale), and the rear dome light fixture needs to be replaced (included in the sale). With some parts receipts, two keys, the owner’s manuals, factory toolkit, and factory tire inflator, this 1993 Porsche 928 GTS is being offered at no reserve here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in San Carlos, California with the auction ending November 7, 2025 at 4:02 p.m. EST.


1987 BMW 325is

The BMW “Neue Klasse” 02 series, introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966, quickly became a hit as a simple, small family car. Its 84-hp 1.6-liter M10 4-cylinder was ample and economical, but then-VP of Marketing Bob Lutz, along with importer Max Hoffman, wanted something with a little more oomph for the US market. Thus, a 99-hp 2.0-liter version of the M10 was dropped in its bonnet and the legendary 2002 was born. Automakers have been looking for “the next 02” ever since. This includes BMW themselves, whose follow-up E21 3-Series never reached the same echelon. The E30 generation saw the introduction of the motorsport-derived M3, but its price tag put it out of reach as the everyman’s enthusiast car. A sport version of the 325e, the 325es, looked the part with a limited-slip differential, sport suspension, BBS basketweave wheels, spoilers, sport seats, and a premium trim package as standard equipment. But its efficiency-oriented powerplant didn’t live up to the promise. Thus, the 325is was introduced in 1987. Combining the sporty bits of the 325es with the 168-hp M20 inline-6, the 325is, while not quite able to satisfy the requirements of “the next 02,” certainly met the needs of an enthusiast market weary of the efficient malaise era. Many enthusiasts in fact prefered (and continue to prefer) the 6-cylinder’s silky smooth power delivery vis à vis the 4-cylinder M3. This 1987 BMW 325is comes finished in classic Cinnabar Red with a hand-painted pinstripe. Equipment includes quad headlamps, body-colored mirrors, chrome window trim, an electric sunroof, an automatic antenna, pop-out rear quarter windows, and dual exhaust tips. The seller notes the exterior is in good overall condition and that the hood appears to have been previously refinished. The CARFAX shows moderate front-end damage reported in 2021, and the vehicle was issued a salvage/rebuilt title after being declared a total loss by an insurance company. The cabin features beige leather sport seats with matching door panels and carpets. Accessories include a three-spoke M-Tech 1 sport steering wheel, BMW-branded floor mats, power windows, air conditioning, cruise control, an onboard computer, a premium sound system with optional rear speakers, and an aftermarket Continental radio. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional. Power from the 2.5-liter M20B25 motor is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement E30-sourced 5-speed manual transmission. The 325iS is equipped as standard with a 25% locking differential and a sport-tuned suspension. With 127,664 miles on the odometer, the seller indicates a service was recently completed, including new spark plugs, ignition wires, an oil change, and a coolant flush. Higher mileage and a branded title may be an impediment to some, while others may see it as an opportunity to acquire one of the great E30s at a bargain price. This 1987 BMW 325is, listed by a dealer in Glendale, California, is selling at no reserve on PCARMARKET with two days left to bid.


2007 Aston Martin DBS

There are few things in the automotive world that pair as ironically as James Bond and Aston Martin. Beyond the gadgets like an ejector seat and Ben-Hur-like wheel shredders, the Bond franchise gave us the first glimpses of upcoming Aston Martin Models. One of these was the DB9-based DBS, resurrecting a badge from the late ’60s-eraly ’70s GT that was the progenitor of the V8 cars, including the DB9. The new DBS made its debut in the Bond film Casino Royale (which also saw the debut of Daniel Craig as James Bond) nearly a year before its public unveiling at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. But instead of the V8 of the earlier DBS, the new car was powered by a quad-overhead-cam, 48-valve 5.9-liter V12, making 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. This 2007 Aston Martin DBS is one of two examples commissioned for display at the New York Auto Show. It presents in an eye-catching combination of Tempest Blue  over Blue Haze leather. Unique provenance behind its inception is detailed in included Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate documentation. Further configured with a highly desirable factory six-speed manual transmission and Sports Package extras, Chassis no. A07712 shows the model at its collector-spec best. Gleaming brightwork including a signature front grille, chrome badging, and side strakes embellish the car’s iconic contours, while Silver-finished 19” five-spoke alloy wheels and brake calipers match high displacement capability beneath the hood. Inside, both side door plaques feature ‘Built in England for New York Auto Show 2007’ details as a reminder of this 2+2’s bespoke specification. Passenger appointments feature leather upholstery complemented with color-matched interior carpets, Piano Black veneer trim, and Tailor Grey headlining. Amenities including heated power-adjustable memory seating, a heated front windscreen, Linn audio w/Dolby Pro Logic II and Bluetooth, auto dimming mirrors, and cruise control fill out the loaded cabin. Tasteful modifications add modernized Apple CarPlay connectivity and front/rear parking cameras. Displaying an odometer reading of 10,549 miles at the time of cataloguing, the seller notes an engine overhaul was performed in April 2023. Tires are stated to show 2019 date codes and less than 5,000 miles of usage. Additionally, the battery was recently replaced, an engine oil service was performed, a left fender light was installed, and the horn was inspected and replaced, as was the fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, driver modules, front crankshaft position sensor, crank timing sensors, sender unit, front hood support struts, and navigation screen actuator assembly. The front seats were calibrated, and a multi-point inspection was performed. Service records from current ownership accompany the sale, along with three key fobs, the owner’s manual and service books, an Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate, the original window sticker and build sheet, and period literature, as well as a car cover, battery charger, tire pump, and accessory umbrella.

1952 Porsche 356 Cabriolet

It’s the one that started it all and the world of sports cars would never be the same. The 356 was the first production Porsche, evolving from a hand-built, aluminum bodied sports car built in Gmund, Austria, production moved to Zuffenhausen, Germany in 1950. The bodies were now made of steel, allowing for greater scale and consistency. These early cars featured a smoother front fascia, raised headlights, and signature split windscreen design. Power initially came from an 1,100 cc Volkswagen-derived flat-four engine, producing around 40 hp. In 1952, displacement grew to 1,500 cc and with it, an additional 20 hp. At the time, the Porsche was priced above the Jaguar XK120 and positioned itself as a sports-luxury model with reclining seats, Telefunken radio and an excellent level of trim by Karosserie Reuter. This 1952 Porsche 356 “Pre A” Cabriolet was completed on April 22, 1952, and delivered through Max Hoffman in New York. Reported to be the fourth from the last “Split Window” Cabriolet produced, this example, chassis № 10266, was reportedly refinished in silver from its original Sand Grey [527] during the 1980s. Under the seller’s ownership, a new convertible top in the correct brown color was installed using the most authentic materials available, along with a new rear window, window frame, sun visors, and multiple rubber gaskets sourced from Reinhold Plank. In recent weeks, the car underwent a complete wet-sand and paint correction, and new, correct four-piece door seals and a new hood seal were installed. Since the seller’s acquisition, the cabin has been reupholstered in red leather, with a headliner sourced from Germany. The car came with numerous original parts collected over the years, including the correct rearview mirror and dome light, which were fully restored by Victor Miles and properly installed on the center bar. Interior features include a Telefunken radio (powers on but produces no sound), antenna, Comfort Seats, Veigel instrumentation, a white-painted banjo-style steering wheel, and Coco floor mats. The seller notes that North Hollywood Speedometer restored the gauges approximately 15 years ago. The odometer was reset to zero and it shows 5,775 at the time of listing. This example was factory-equipped with a 1500cc Type 527 flat-four engine, which was since been replaced with a later 1952 356 1500-sourced Type 546 four-cam engine upgraded to S, or “Super,” specification. The rear wheels are driven through an upgraded replacement 4-speed manual synchromesh transmission. The engine was fully rebuilt approximately 5,000 miles ago, and a complete brake system overhaul was performed at that time. Service records accompany the sale, along with This sale will include a clean title, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a copy of the Kardex. This 1952 Porsche 356 “Pre A” Cabriolet is listed on PCARMARKET by a dealer in Bon Aqua, Tennessee with the auction closing in three days.


1960 Lancia Appia Vignale Convertible

The Appia arrived in 1953 and was the last new Lancia to use the automaker’s innovative sliding pillar front suspension design. This robust but effective setup gave the Appia sportier handling than their handsome but sedate four-door styling might have suggested. It wasn’t until the Vignale-designed and -built cabriolet range was introduced in 1957 that the little car truly lived up to the Lancia badge. The Giovanni Michelotti-designed convertible was based on the second series Appia platform, and it was the first to be offered as a two-seater, before it was reconfigured into a neat 2+2. This 1960 Lancia Appia Vignale Cabriolet is one of 1,584 convertibles built. It has benefited from an older full restoration by a former leading member of the Auto Restoration Owners Club, ensuring work was completed to a high standard. The car appears in good solid condition overall showing good paintwork with some small age-commensurate wear. A small dent is present in the passenger door and there is minor oxidation to the paintwork on the aluminium panels. The chrome work is in good condition and contrasts nicely. The interior in fine overall order with age-commensurate sag and creasing to the upholstery. The instruments are clear and legible, while the dashboard in good overall order. With two registered owners and under the current owner’s care since 2012, the car has clearly been cherished, stored in a heated barn for the past seven years. Power comes from a 1,090 cc V4 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Displaying 93,379 miles at the time of listing, the car has recently received £12,000 in mechanical refurbishment to brakes, steering and other components. A folio of service records are included in the sale of this 1960 Lanica Appia Vignale Convertible, here on Car & Classic in Southborough, U.K. The auction ends November 7, 2025 at 2:25 EST.


1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL 6.0 AMG

Few things get the attention of a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast more than the mention of ‘pre-merger AMG.’ It refers to the era when Aufrecht, Melcher, Großaspach was an independent engineering firm specializing in performance improvements for Mercedes-Benz (and others).  DaimlerChrysler AG took a controlling interest in 1999, then became the sole owner of AMG in 2005. While the AMG designation still indicates a unique level of performance and styling enhancements over the mainstay products lines, it is those pre-merger cars, not beholden to corporate restraint, that remain the most desirable. This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL AMG 6.0 was reportedly cosmetically modified in period by AMG Japan and is one of the earliest known examples with a 1989 build date and a VIN ending in 000861. The car relocated to Canada in 2009 and was later imported into the United States in 2015. The body is finished Astral Silver [735] with matching lower body cladding and a full AMG body kit. The Gen 1 AMG kit consists of both front and rear bumpers, extended side skirts, and a 3-piece ducktail Heckspoiler. All parts are stamped with HWA AMG part numbers. Additional AMG touches include painted headlight and windshield wipers, along with a paint-matched front grille and door handles. An authentic AMG exhaust is fitted and shows period-correct AMG tips at the rear. The car benefits from a recent rebuild of all top hydraulic cylinders and operates with no issues. The seller notes the soft top was replaced in preparation for the sale. The original hardtop is included along with a matching stand. The front bumper was refinished to correct minor rock chips by the premier paint shop for pre-merger AMGs in the Atlanta area. The original 17″ staggered 3-piece AMG Aero III wheels are made by OZ Racing and wear newer Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 225/45 front and 255/40 rear with 2022/23/24 date codes. The faces are finished in silver with polished lips and OZ wheel bolts. Recent maintenance includes new performance-oriented front and rear brake rotors and pads. The seller notes zero suspension issues. The interior is upholstered in Anthracite Leather [271] with a matching lower dash and carpets. Burl wood trim accents the center console along with extended AMG wood across the dashboard, gear shifter, steering wheel, and doors. Amenities include automatic climate control, an upgraded Alpine head unit, and a retracting roll bar. The top hydraulic cylinders have been rebuilt. The car comes with AMG floor mats and an additional set of Coco-Mats. The seller notes the horn is inoperable and the wiper motor operates slowly. The seat belt is noted to lock up if the driver attempts to lean forward but does buckle correctly. There are no lights present on the dash, and all power seat functions work. The power rear view mirror operates as do the two exterior mirrors. The M119 V8 was reportedly bored and stroked to increase displacement by AMG to 6.0-liters, resulting in a rating of 381 hp and 413 ft/lbs of torque. Inside the engine, the cam sprockets are engraved with “AMG.” Additionally, the stroke was measured and confirmed to be a 6.0 at 95mm (94.8mm by the factory). An authentic AMG airbox sits atop the engine and pre-merger “AMG” labeled engine relays are also found under the hood. Shwoing 103,516 kilometers (64,322 mile) at the time of listing, extensive maintenance has been performed since the previous owner’s acquisition in 2022. Service records are included in the sale, along with a removable hardtop and stand, wind deflector, one infrared key, two valet keys, pre-merger AMG literature, original tool kit, indoor car cover, and a clean Georgia title. This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL 6.0 AMG is newly listed on The MB Market by a private seller in Atlanta.

1970 Porsche 911S

Introduced as part of the C-series update, the 1970 Porsche 911S boasted an output of 180 hp courtesy of its improved fuel-injected 2.2-liter flat-six engine. Combined with its signature 15″ Fuchs light alloy wheels with polished faces and upgraded braking system, these enhancements elevated the 911S’s standing as the most capable and performance-focused model in the Porsche lineup. Compared to the entry-level 911T, the flagship 911S features a lighter aluminum decklid, wider rubber trim moldings, aluminum rocker covers, and anodized gold rear badging. This 1970 Porsche 911S was originally configured for the U.S. market, equipped with a 5-speed manual transaxle, and previously refinished in its factory-specified color of Albert Blue [1818]. Equipment includes chrome headlamp rings, window trim, and bumperettes, rectangular front fog lights, a polished driver’s side mirror, pop-out rear quarter windows, and a polished exhaust outlet. The seller describes the paint as being in excellent overall condition and notes that new Continental tires were mounted in 2023. The cabin is appointed with Black leatherette upholstery featuring basketweave pattern inserts on the seat centers, door panels, and dashboard trim. Accessories include a deeply bolstered driver’s sport seat, a standard passenger bucket seat, three-point seatbelts, a black leather four-spoke steering wheel, manual window cranks, analog VDO gauges, a heater, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. The seller indicates the seat rails have been modified to accommodate a taller driver. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional. Rated at 180 HP and 147 lb-ft of torque, the 911S’s air-cooled 2.2-liter flat-six engine features Bosch fuel injection, a revised camshaft, larger valves, and higher compression than the standard 911T engine. It delivers power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. Standard equipment for the 911S includes a rear anti-roll bar, Koni shock absorbers, and ventilated disc brakes. Showing 97,975 miles on a 5-digit odometer at the time of listing, an engine-out service was completed in 2023, which included a chain tensioner retrofit, new timing guide rails, exhaust valve guides, oil return tubes, valve covers, spark plugs, gaskets, CV boots, belts, and more. A corresponding invoice accompanies the sale, along with the owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a Canadian registration. It’s listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in Westmount, Quebec with the auction closing in four days.


1991 Acura Legend Coupe

In 1986, Honda introduced Acura, its new luxury marque for sale primarily in North America. The flagship Legend was the first of two Acuras to be introduced, the other being the compact Integra hatchback. For the first time, Americans were able to buy a Honda powered by a V6. Its displacement (2.5 liters) and output (151 hp, 154 lb-ft) seem modest by modern standards, but with multi-port fuel injection and four valves per cylinder, it was a thoroughly modern engine at the time. The Legend had a four-wheel independent suspension that made it a legitimate competitor to the Europeans. A Coupe was introduced a year later, along with a larger 2.7-liter engine and double wishbone suspension front and rear. In 1991, the second generation was introduced with a larger, more streamlined body and a longitudinally mounted 3.2-liter V6 capable of 202 hp (impressive for 1991). It was—and continues to be—lauded for its smooth powertrain, ample comfort, and engaging driving experience. This 1991 Acura Legend Coupe came finished in Phoenix Red and equipped with 15″ wheels, a rear spoiler, and power sunroof, while the Tan leather interior features a power-adjustable driver’s seat, air conditioning, and cruise control.

1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

As the muscle car era was coming to a federally-mandated end, Chevrolet threw everything it had at the American Sports Car, the Corvette. For 1970, it introduced the ZR1 engine package that included the solid-lifter small-block LT1 engine, heavy-duty four-speed transmission, power brakes, aluminum radiator, and a revised suspension with special springs, shocks, stabilizer bar, and spindle-strut shafts. With only 53 made, the ZR1 was and remains a Corvette legend. In 1990, the ZR-1 was resurrected (only now with a dash) to recapture what it means to be not only the ultimate American Sports Car, but a world-class supercar. It marked an audacious leap in American performance engineering. Developed in collaboration with Lotus (then owned by GM), the ZR-1 featured a 5.7-liter DOHC V8 producing 375 hp, built by Mercury Marine in Oklahoma, coupled with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The LT5 gave the ZR-1 a 0 – 60 mph time under 5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 170 mph. To handle the power, the ZR-1 received a unique wider rear body, upgraded brakes, and the FX3 adjustable suspension system. Goodyear 315/35ZR17 rear tires are unique to the ZR-1, with 275/40ZR17 up front. It also introduced the “valet key,” which limited engine output for everyday driving. Priced at nearly double the base Corvette, the ZR-1 earned the nickname “King of the Hill.” Though not the rare air of the original ZR1, only 3,049 units were produced in 1990. This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 was sold new by Lyman Slack Motors in Portland, Oregon and has since been registered in Montana and North Dakota. It has been residing with its owner in Maryland for the past 15 years. At the time of listing, it has covered a mere 2,651 miles since new. It came factory finished in Bright Red [81U] with both a factory-tinted glass Targa top, and a factory-painted (81U Bright Red) Targa top. The interior features Red leather upholstery covering 6-way adjustable power seats (passenger seat front height adjustment is inoperable), as well as a Delco Bose® audio system with cassette (inoperable) and CD, power windows and locks, air conditioning, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The original keys and fobs, factory manuals, window sticker, partial service records, and original Goodyear tires accompany the sale. It’s a new listing on Hagerty Marketplace out of Woodstock, Maryland.

1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Targa

The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 marked a pivotal chapter in Porsche’s evolution, redefining performance and engineering for the G-series generation. Introduced during the brand’s shift towards modernized sports cars, the Carrera 3.0 blended the legacy of the legendary 2.7 RS with innovations destined to shape future 911s. Under the guidance of Ernst Fuhrmann, Porsche engineers equipped the car with a new 3.0-liter flat-six engine derived from the 930 Turbo. The Carrera 3.0 is reportedly the only Porsche famed engineer Hans Mezger ever purchased for himself. The Targa version paired open-air freedom with the structural integrity of its removable roof design. Porsche’s engineers fine-tuned the suspension and braking systems, giving the car sharp handling to match its exhilarating straight-line speed. A 915-series 5-speed manual transmission connected the driver to the engine’s power with precision, while the chassis harnessed the wider track to deliver exceptional road grip. Kept out of North America in lieu of the recently introduced Turbo Carrera (930), this 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Targa spent much of its life in the Netherlands before it was imported to Canada by the seller. It is presented in classic Indischrot/Guards Red [G8V9] in excellent condition. Cosmetic attention included dent removal. The cabin features seats upholstered in Black leatherette with velour inserts. Wear is evident including a tear in the driver’s seat bolster (unusually on the right side). Displaying 112,391 miles at the time of cataloguing (TMU), the drivetrain has undergone recent service that includes addressing the fuel injection system, replacing the warm-up regulator, cold start injector, thermal time switch, and intake bellow to improve starting and running behavior. Fuel pressures were set, and the ignition timing and points were adjusted. Offered with documented service records, this 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 is now listed here on SOMO with the auction ending on November 4, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EST.


1987 Lancia Thema 8.32

By the late ’70s, the need for German automakers to one-up each other in the executive car segment had reached a point where it was difficult for others to keep up. The Italians, never in a particularly healthy financial state, found it particularly difficult to dedicate the necessary development costs. One of the ways to offset this was the Fiat Tipo Quattro platform (no relation to Audi’s all-wheel drive quattro, lower case). In 1978, an agreement was made between Fiat, and countrymen Alfa Romeo and Lancia, along with Saab, who had its own issues keeping up with Volvo. The Type Four, let’s call it, called for a transverse-mounted front-engine/front- or four-wheel drive layout using an all-wheel independent MacPherson strut suspension. Lancia’s variant, the Thema, was the first to be shown, at the 1984 Turin Motor Show. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Thema was offered with engine choices ranging from a base 118-hp 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder to the LX with a 2.8-liter V6 making 148 hp. But in 1986, in response to BMW’s M5, Lancia dropped a 3.2-liter V8 derived from the Ferrari 328 into its bonnet. With a flip of the ‘8’ from the end to the front, the Lancia Thema 8.32 became known as the first Ferrari four-door (decades before Ferrari’s first actual four-door, the Purosangue). Close to 4,000 left the works. Aside from some small badges, it looked like a Thema LX. Inside, however, was a different story. The interior was hand-trimmed in Alcantara and burr walnut veneer and is surely one of the greatest cabins of any executive car. This 1987 Lancia Thema 8.32 was first registered in June of 1987 and has had had only one other registered owner since. It is finished in Bordeaux Tramonto Mica Metallic. Almost entirely original paintwork shows a few minor scratches and marks, while the bodywork presents in very good order with straight panels and well-kept arches and sills. Badging, grilles and other exterior fittings are all present. The car retains its five-spoke alloy wheels with a matching spare wheel. The Light Beige Alcantara interior is also in nice condition, with only minor wear such as slight bolster age to note. Veneers, leathers, dashboard, door cards and dials in are in very good order. The original 215-hp 2,927cc F105L Ferrari Dino V8 engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. With 182,344 kilometers (113,303 miles) shown at the time of listing, the car has been maintained and serviced in line with factory requirements. This includes €7,550 of recent work consisting of the replacement of timing belts, belt tensioner bearings, valve cover gaskets, clutch assembly and disc, clutch thrust bearing, oil filter cartridge, air filter cartridge, and engine spark plugs, as well an oil change using 15/50 oil, fresh coolant/antifreeze (Parflu), new front and rear brake pads, and an overhaul and calibration of the shock absorbers. With its factory tool roll, original owner’s manuals, Automotoclub Storico Italiano registration, and a renewed Revisione (Italian safety, emissions, and noise inspection), this 1987 Lancia Thema 8.32 is being offered here at Car & Classic by a private seller in Italy with the auction closing November 4, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. EST.


2000 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG

While it may not have the panache of a “pre-merger AMG” Mercedes-Benz model, nor the collaboration of the Porsche-built W124 500 E/E 500, the W210 E 55 AMG has endured as one of the most beloved Mercedes-Benz models. It comes from a time–just—when DaimlerChrysler was more engineer- than shareholder-driven. Materials retain the highest quality standards that had made the Stuttgart company such a legendary marque, while feeling entirely modern in the driving experience. The naturally aspirated M113 will forever be hailed as one of AMG’s most robust and reliable engines, not to mention allowing the E 55 AMG to compete with the likes of the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette for straight-line performance. This 2000 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG is finished in rare Snow White [143] and comes fitted with an AMG body kit including sculpted front and rear bumpers, side skirts, factory rolled fenders, and twin chrome exhaust outlets. Additional features include xenon headlights, headlight sprayers, power-adjustable mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and a glass sunroof. The glass is tinted blue from the factory. All rubber seals are in excellent condition and there is no signs of rust or corrosion anywhere on the body. The Carfax notes a minor damage report in January 2012, which resulted in a spot repair performed on the left front fender. In 2024, the car received a full body ceramic coating including the wheels and glass. The cabin features seats upholstered in two-tone Black and Grey AMG Exclusive leather [528] along with matching door panels and head rests. Birdseye maple trim accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Additional amenities include heated and multi-contour front seats, memory settings, cruise control, automatic climate control, a power rear-window sunshade, and a Bose cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer. The seller notes the headliner is beginning to sag in the rear and a small crack around the passenger side airbag on the dash. Original E55 AMG floor mats are included. The naturally aspirated 5.4-liter M113 V8 produced 349 hp and 391 lb-ft. of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Displaying 58,823 miles at the time of listing, the Carfax report lists eight service records with the replacement of the crankshaft position sensor in September 2023. The seller notes an oil service was performed in September 2024 less than 1,000 miles ago. Earlier in 2024, the car received a new flex disc, center mount, rear crankshaft seal, and both valve cover gaskets. Other notable services include a new water pump, front brake pads, central locking pump, serpentine belt, idler pulley, tensioner, and brake fluid flush in 2018. Partial service records are included in the sale along with manufacturer’s literature, the original tool roll, a Carfax report, and a clean California title. This Snow White Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG is offered on The MB Market by a reputable dealer in Burlingame, California with five days left to bid.

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

As the last of the luftgekühlt (air cooled) Porsche 911s, the 993 remains the most highly sought after generation. A sleeker, wider and more aerodynamic body vis à vis earlier 911s brought with it a new multi-link rear suspension and a 6-speed gearbox, making the 911 a more modern driving experience. But while the Coupe and in recent years the greenhouse Targa models tend to get the most attention, there’s a lot to be said for the Cabriolet as well. Particularly when its presented in Paint-to-Sample Amethyst Metallic, like this 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. It comes equipped with a desirable 6-speed manual gearbox, a Classic Grey retractable soft top, a matching boot cover, a raised third brake light, black brake calipers, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and upgraded 17″ Cup 2 wheels dressed in Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires. The factory 16″ Cup wheels will accompany the sale. Since the seller’s acquisition in August 2025, a full paint correction and ceramic coating were performed, the front bumper was refinished to address cosmetic imperfections, and the fog lights were replaced.

Showing 59,143 miles at the time of listing, service performed within the last few years has included an oil change, replacement of the fuel pressure regulator, replacement of a window switch, and refreshing the power-operated top. A clean title, owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, and an air pump are included in the sale of this 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, here at PCARMARKET by a dealer in Bon Aqua, Tennessee with three days left to bid.


1975 Toyota Chinook 4×4 Conversion

When the Toyota Chinook debuted in the 1970s, it offered a compact, more fuel-efficient alternative to the full-size Recreational Vehicles of the era. Built by the Chinook Mobilodge Company on the two-wheel drive Toyota Pickup (Hilux) variant chassis, these micro-motorhomes featured pop-top roofs, integrated kitchenettes, and convertible dinettes—making them ideal for adventurous minimalists.This 1975 Toyota Chinook is a custom-built four-wheel drive example, the result of a claimed two-year garage project inspired by the concept of what an original Chinook-built 4WD version might have looked like. The seller states it was constructed using as many OEM Toyota components as possible, including a 20R inline-4 with a 38/38 Weber-style two-barrel carburetor, 1982 Toyota L45 four-speed manual transmission, a 1994 Toyota IFS steering box with custom crossover Hi-Steer setup, RF1A gear-driven transfer case, gold-painted 1982 Toyota 15″ steel wheels, custom front fenders with integrated 1982 Toyota 4×4 steel flares, matching 1982 Toyota front and rear axles, an original 1975 Toyota RN28 frame, and original 1982 Toyota corduroy front bucket seats in excellent condition.

1993 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. The interior was also redesigned to increase comfort and ergonomics. This 1993 Ferrari 512 TR, Chassis № 94667, is a European market example sold by Auto Becker in Düsseldorf, Germany. It was reportedly imported from Belgium in 2023 and is now titled and registered in Bellvue, Washington. Finished in iconic Rosso Corsa over Nero, and factory-equipped with a limited-slip differential, 18″ wheels, and leather upholstery. Notable modifications reported by the seller include a Tubi Style exhaust system and a Blaupunkt Bremen head unit. Some exterior chips are noted as are scratches on the rear wheels, 2018 date code on the tires, some wear on the upholstery and driver’s door panel, climate control knob cracks, and holes in the middle of the parcel shelf. Displaying 119,687 kilometers (74,370 miles) on metric insturments, recent service includes an engine oil and filter change, a transmission fluid change, replacement of fuel and air filters, and a clutch master cylinder replacement. Past history shows replacement of the clutch assembly, throw-out bearing, clutch flange seal, and pilot bearing replaced, as well as flywheel resurfacing, and wheel balance. Its last major was performed in May of 2023 at 115,752 kilometers (71,924 miles). Service records accompany the sale, along with one key and two immobilizer keys, the owner’s manuals (multi-language), a repair manual, facrory toolkit, annual service kit, a spare front splitter, Blaupunkt TravelPilot head unit, and Blaupunkt CD changer. This 1993 Ferrari 512 TR is being offered here on Cars & Bids by a private party with the auction closing November 3, 2025 at 1:30 EST.

1979 Porsche 911 Turbo

The original plan for the Porsche 911 Turbo was to meet the homologation requirements of 400 units (enough for homologation rules with Groups 4 and 5 in mind), but in the end, the Turbo became a cultural phenomenon, a performance king and huge commercial success. Starting with the 1977 season, a completely new racing body based on the Porsche 911 Turbo—the 935—began competing on race tracks around the world with customers behind the wheel. Success for the 935 came both quickly and often, and the model racked up 123 wins in the 370 races it entered, culminating in the Le Mans winning Kremer Porsche 935 in 1979. Brothers Bill and Don Whittington, alongside German ace Klaus Ludwig, drove through treacherous rain, mechanical drama, and the grit of endurance to deliver the marque’s first and only overall victory with a rear-engined, 911-derived car. The Whittington brothers’ triumph marked not only a personal milestone, but also a pivotal moment for Porsche: a validation of the 911’s rear-engine design at the world’s toughest endurance event. This win remains singular in the marque’s history—a triumph of ingenuity and willpower that stands as a defining chapter in the Porsche legacy. In the wake of this monumental victory, Ferry Porsche personally invited the Whittington brothers to his home. In recognition of their feat, he offered each brother a new 911 Turbo as a token of gratitude for proving the dominance of Porsche’s rear-engine design on the world’s greatest stage. This 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo was delivered to Bill. Finished in its factory Black paint protected with clear film over vulnerable areas, the car presents in outstanding original condition. The interior remains exceptional, free from shrinkage to the leather dash or seats. Showing just 6,011 original miles at the time of cataloguing, over $15,000 has been invested in recent servicing to ensure mechanical health, while the underside was painstakingly cleaned via dry ice. Complete with its books, tools, original brochures, the 1979 Le Mans race program and results, and most impressively, the original race trophy awarded for that unforgettable victory, this historic 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo is now being sold by K. Watts & Company in Raleigh, North Carolina at an asking price upon inquiry..


1986 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16 Cosworth

When it was introduced at the Paris Motors Show in 1982, the Mercedes-Benz W201 quickly became known as the “Baby Benz.” Its Bruno Sacco design bore a strong family resemblance to its “Big Body Benz” S-Class sibling. It was a car designed for the masses: comfortable, safe, economical, and reliable. As such, it was generally overlooked by the Mercedes-Benz buyer looking to boost performance by taking it to an aftermarket tuner. However, with the launch of BMW’s celebrated 3-Series-based M3, Daimler-Benz was quick to respond with their own Cosworth-powered 190 E 2.3-16. This gave the W201 the performance cred that it had lacked. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth was originally sold new in Pennsylvania with first registration noted in January 1987. The car shows Montana registration from 2006-2018 and then relocated to Florida with the current seller’s acquisition. It comes finished in Black Pearl Metallic [199] with matching lower cladding and bumper inserts. The model-specific body kit is tailored to the Cosworth specifications and features a deeper aerodynamic chin spoiler, extended side skirts, rear air dam, fender flares, and trunk spoiler. Other exterior features include a sliding sunroof with tilt function, an electrically adjustable side mirror, and fog lights. Factory 15” Gullideckel wheels are mounted and wear their original chrome finish with matching center caps. Falken Ziex tires are mounted measuring 205/55 and were mounted in 2018. A full-size spare is located under the trunk floor along with the factory jack. The seats are upholstered in Anthracite leather [271] with matching door panels and carpeting. Notable features include factory power-adjustable Recaro front sport seats, individual rear Recaro bucket seats, cruise control, power windows, power locks, and an original Becker head unit. Zebrano wood trim accents the center console, where additional gauges for oil temperature and battery voltage are located, along with a lap timer. The Becker head unit was refurbished in 2018 by Becker. The 2.3-liter 16-valve M102 4-cylinder was developed in collaboration with Cosworth and power was rated at 194 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an automatic five-speed transmission. Displaying 33,209 miles at the time of listing, the most recent service, in preparation for the sale, was completed in September 2025 and included new engine mounts, a transmission mount, and an AC service. Accompanying service records from 2022 show an oil service. In 2019 a new sunroof motor was installed, along with a radio antenna and right front door latch. Additionally in 2018, the car received a brake fluid flush, transmission service, oil change, coolant flush, new engine and cabin air filter, new central locking pump, shifter bushings, ignition lock housing, all four tie rods and center link, drive belt, and valve cover gasket. The sale includes two keys, original manufacturer’s literature, full-size spare, car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Minnesota title. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16 can be founf on The MB Market by a dealer in North Miami Beach, Florida with the auction ending October 30, 2025 at 4:25 p.m. EDT.


1989 Ford Taurus SHO

As an increasing number of auto manufacturers are abandoning four-door sedans in favor of more popular and practical SUVs, let’s recall that it wasn’t that long ago that it was the three-box sedan that dominated showrooms throughout most of automotive history. When Chrysler began dropping their Hemi V8 into the engine bays of its premium New Yorker models of the 1950s, the idea of the performance sedan began to take shape. Mercedes-Benz followed suit in the ’60s with the 300 SEL 6.3, stuffing the big V8 from its 600-Series limousine into its upscale W109. Responding to increased emissions and safety regulations, BMW demonstrated what was possible with two fewer cylinders in its M535 (or M5). These high-performance executive cars soon made their way from the Autobahn to Piggly Wiggly parking lots, as carbuyers sought more excitement from their everyday driving experiences. Manufacturers worldwide responded, with performance versions of their popular sedans. One of the more surprising ones came from Ford. Already the best-selling car in America at the time, Ford looked at how it could find new buyers wooed by the likes of the M5 and Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16. They equipped their quotidian Taurus with a sophisticated and potent 3.0-liter DOHC V6 built by Yamaha, coupled with a Mazda-sourced close-ratio 5-speed manual gearbox. The suspension was tuned with stiffer springs, larger stabilizer bars, and special tires for enhanced handling. It took a relatively keen eye to spot visual differences, which included different bumpers, side cladding, and a unique grille outside, along with sports seats and an 8,000 RPM tach inside. The super-high-output (SHO) Taurus was and remains one of the world’s most clandestine “sleeper” cars. This Taurus SHO comes from the first year of production, 1989. It came finished from the factory in an elegant Midnight Currant Metallic and equipped with 15″ wheels, an SHO-specific suspension system, and an SHO-specific body kit. An aftermarket exhaust is its sole modification. The Grey interior features cloth and leather upholstery draping power-adjustable front sport seats, and is appointed with power windows and mirrors, and air conditioning. Itretains its original 220-hp 3.0-liter Yamaha V6 and 5-speed manual transmission. Showing an impressive 33,176 miles at the time of listing, its recent service history shows replacement of a front axle shaft, clutch, subframe bushings, engine mounts, Y-pipe, and catalytic converters, as well as routine engine oil and filter changes. Service receipts accompany the sale, along with two keys, the owner’s manual, and various items such as the factory exhaust, car covers, and more. This time capsule 1989 Ford Taurus SHO is listed here on Cars & Bids by a dealer in Petosky, Michigan with the auction ending October 30, 2025 at 2:34 p.m. EDT.

2014 Porsche Cayenne GTS

In 2002, Porsche gave us their first SUV, which would also be the first production Porsche with four doors. No longer just a sports-car maker, it transformed Porsche into a volume manufacturer and a massive money maker. The second-generation Cayenne appeared for the 2011 model year. The car was slightly longer, wider, and higher than its predecessor. All new models shared the new headlight graphics with additional lights at the inside so unmistakably Porsche. As before, the lineup consisted of the base V6, the Cayenne S with its naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8, and the Turbo/Turbo S, as well as hybrid and diesel models. In 2013, a GTS was introduced. While the GTS badge originated with the legendary 904 race car of the mid 60s, by the late 2000s, it had come to represent a group of appearance and performance options that bridged the gap between the ‘S’ models and the higher-perfomance GT—or in the case of the Cayenne, Turbo—models. The Cayenne GTS featured the SportDesign Package as standard, adding a Turbo-look front and rear fascia, side skirts, wheel arch extensions, and a split-wing roof spoiler. PDLS (Porsche Dynamic Light System) also came standard. Inside, the Cayenne GTS featured a leather interior with Alcantara covering seat inserts, center console armrest, and parts of the door panels. The engine was a newly developed 4.8-liter V8 that offered 420 hp (up 20 from the S model). New, this 2014 Porsche Cayenne GTS was further optioned with the Aluminum Exterior Package, GTS Interior Package in Carmine Red, Sport Chrono Package, Bose Surround Sound System, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Porsche Entry & Drive, ParkAssist, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Change Assist, and much more. These features lent themselves well to what has become a popular overland, or “safari” build, and that was precisely this car’s fate. Finished in Jet Black Metallic with a topography-themed vinyl wrap, this example was customized with a Eurowise tubular front bumper, dual swing-out rear bumper, roof rack, rock sliders, and underbody skid plates. Additional modifications include Baja Designs LED sports lights, Baja Designs LED pocket fog lights, a side-exit exhaust conversion, a WARN Evo10 Winch, Factor 55 FlatLink winch shackle mount, and traction board mounts. Paint protection film has been applied. CARFAX reports very minor damage in March 2022. The cabin is appointed in Black leather and Alcantara with Carmine Red accents as part of the GTS Interior Package. Options include Guards Red instrument dials, a matching Sport Chrono clock, a panoramic roof system, a cargo management system, an aluminum gear selector, a fire extinguisher, heated front seats, PCM with Navigation Module, a Bose® Surround Sound System, the Light Comfort Package with Memory Package, TPMS, and Online Services. The passenger-side dash leather has begun to separate and has been concealed with a custom black leather dash mat featuring red stitching. Featuring dry-sump lubrication, direct fuel injection, and VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, the naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 engine is mated to an 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, sending power through an active all-wheel-drive system with a locking center differential. Modifications consist of a Eurowise transmission cooler measuring twice the size of the original component, JRZ reservoir coilovers, a coil spring conversion, and Eurowise rear control arms. Showing 95,484 miles at the time of listing, the seller adds that all fluids, except for the coolant, have been changed. No outstanding maintenance items have been reported. This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, and RotopaX 2-gallon fuel & water containers with locks. This 2014 Porsche Cayenne GTS Eurowise off-road build is listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in Monroe, Ohio with five days left to bid.


1965 Morris Mini Cooper S

In 1959, in the midst of post-war austerity and fuel shortage, Sir Alec Issigonis ingeniously turned a crisis into an opportunity. He addressed saving fuel as both an engineering and design challenge, which he solved through what became a trademark of Mini: the creative use of space. Issigonis’ creation was remarkable, but it really only became a Mini when he got a little help from his friend, motorsport pioneer John Cooper. Cooper took the prototype out for a spin and realized this fuel-saving people’s car cornered like no other. He convinced Issigonis to ready the Mini for the Rallye Monte Carlo. The car won the
prestigious rally three times: in 1964, 1965, and 1967. Timo Mäkinen was the driver on the occasion of the 1965 victory, at the wheel of a Mini Cooper 1275 S, which wore the British registration ‘AJB 44B’. This 1965 Morris Mini Cooper S was gifted to him as a prize for winning the rally, and in order to honor both him and Finland, it was finished in a color scheme reminiscent of the flag of Finland: Island Blue with an Old English White roof. It rides on a set of white 10″ wheels, fitted with chrome covers and Yokohama tires. The cabin is trimmed in Powder Blue and Gold Brocade Grey, and features Powder Blue mats. Equipment includes a three-spoke wooden-rimmed steering wheel, sliding front windows, and a rev counter. Power comes from a matching-numbers 1,275cc ‘A-Series’ inline-4, driving the front wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The car has previously been fully restored, with the condition evidenced by the Classic Data report with a very high grading of ‘1-’. With the odometer indicating 7,649 kilometers at the time of cataloguing (unverified), its recent service history shows the replacement of the clutch, clutch slave cylinder, bushings, water pump, oil cooler, head gasket, valves, piston rings, engine mounts, door seal gaskets, and several other components in November 2019. The most recent roadworthiness inspection was reportedly conducted in August 2025. This storied 1965 Morris Mini Cooper S is now being offered on Collecting Cars by a dealer in Vantaa, Finland with the auction closing October 27, 2025 at 2:40 p.m. EDT.


1991 GMC Syclone

The early 1990s were a transformative period for the automotive industry, coming out of a decades-long malaise era, the ’90s were characterized by a surge in performance vehicles that recaptured the imaginations of car enthusiasts worldwide. One of the most unexpected offerings came from GMC, the General Motors, specializing in utilitarian trucks and commercial vehicles. Introduced in 1991, the GMC Syclone was a bold and unexpected entry into the world of performance vehicles. At first glance, it appeared to be a standard compact pickup, but underneath its unassuming exterior lay an engineering powerhouse. The Syclone traversed through a 4.3-liter V6 engine, boosted by a Mitsubishi TD06-17C turbocharger and a Garrett water/air intercooler. It produced a remarkable (for its day) 280 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. Combined with a Borg-Warner viscous-coupling transfer case and a heavy-duty 4L60 transmission, the LB4 engine gave the Syclone impressive performance credentials. It could reach 60 mph from a standing start in 4.3 seconds on its way to a (limited) 124 mph. To put this in perspective, the Syclone could outpace the Ferrari 348 and the Porsche 911 Turbo of its era in a straight line. Despite its impressive performance and groundbreaking concept, production was canceled after 2,992 had been built in 1991 (three additional units spilled over into 1992). With its limited production run, raucous performance and bad-ass looks, the Syclone has earned rockstar status as a Detroit icon. How fitting then, that this 1991 GMC Syclone was first owned by the Motor City Madman himself, Ted Nugent. Purchased new by the Detroit rocker in May of 1991, it came finished in Black and factory equipped with 16″ wheels and a bed tonneau cover. The cabin features Gray cloth upholstery covering manually-adjustable sport seats, and is appointed with air conditioning. Modifications have been limited to a hood bug deflector, a Code Alarm system, and a Kenwood KAC-818 subwoofer amp and 12 CD changer. Included in the sale are two keys and a car cover, along with a copy of the original title with the name of Ted Nugent’s corporation and a confirmation email of this truck’s first owner. Showing 37,149 miles at the time of listing, it has been in the care of its current owner since 2007. This 1991 GMC Syclone can be found here on Cars & Bids with two days left in the auction.

1979 Porsche 924

After things didn’t go as planned with the rear-mid-engine 914, it’s a wonder that Porsche would choose to jointly develop another car with Volkswagen. Yet under their Vertriebsgesellschaft (“sales company,” or VG), what was then knows as Project 425 began. The idea, as it was with the 914, was to give Porsche a higher margin entry-level model while Volkswagen could expand their product line with a sportier replacement for the aging Karmann Ghia. This time Volkswagen pulled out of the project to pursue what would become the Scirocco. Nevertheless, Porsche soldiered on, buying the design outright but continuing to use the Volkswagen-developed 2.0-liter water-cooled inline-4. At the time, the engine was used in the Audi 100 family car. It would also be found in Volkswagen’s LT commercial truck as well as the AMC Gremlin, Concord, Spirit, and Postal Jeeps. Built at the Audi facility in Neckarsulm, the Porsche 924 made its debut at a November 1975 press launch at the harbor at La Grande Motte, Camargue in the south of France. Journalists praised the handling but were less enthusiastic about its powerplant and primitive 4-speed gearbox (also Audi sourced). Porsche then proceeded through a series of upgrades to improve the performance of the car to meet the public’s expectations of Porsche performance. Upgrades involved better brakes, optional sport suspension, 5-speed transmissions, and more power for the engine. But much like the 914 before it, the Volkswagen roots never allowed the 924 to be accepted as a “true” Porsche during its 13-year production. History has been kinder, with a much broader acceptance of what it means to be a Porsche in a world dominated by SUVs. While the 924 won’t win any races against its rear-engine six-cylinder sibling, its driving pleasure is Porsche to the core. This 1979 Porsche 924 comes from only two long-term owners covering 33,112 miles at the time of listing. It came finished from the factory in seldom-seen Mocha Brown, which remains original aside from a hood repaint to correct cosmetic flaws. The car sits on its original wheels and tires, however a set of 15″ ATS wheels and tires (that were optional for this model year) are included with the sale. The interior shows remarkably little wear, including a dash free of the typical warping or cracks. Since 2005, the car has enjoyed multiple Porsche Club of America national parade preservation class concours wins, as well as class winner for the Hemmings Concours d’Elegance in 2009, and was the subject of a full article feature in Hemmings Sports and Exotic magazine. Power comes from its original and spotless 2.0-liter motor coupled with the optional dogleg 5-speed gearbox. Unique details include the one-year-only “snailshell” transaxle that reportedly shifts flawlessly. Maintenance has been performed at highly respected Porsche-oriented independent shops. A meticulous service history accompanies the sale, along with its original window sticker, delivery paperwork, factory owner’s manuals, and factory tool roll. This time-capsule 1979 Porsche 924 is offered for sale at Kasser Motor Group in West Chester, Pennsylvania at an asking price of $24,950. 


2004 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2

It’s widely accepted that most SUVs sold today will never see dirt, much less do any serious off-roading, even those that have been kitted with off-road packages. But Chevrolet didn’t accept that when they outfitted their workaday [S10] Blazer with the ZR2 package (introduced as an option package on the S10 pickup two years earlier). Available only as a 2-door, the Blazer ZR2 included a ladder-type frame with modified mounting points and a 3.9 inches wider track than the regular Blazer, increased ground clearance (approximately 3” over Blazer), enhanced front (7.25” ring gear) and rear (8.625” ring gear on 2002 – 2004 model years) axles, 31” x 10.50” BF Goodrich Longtrail tires, 46mm Bilstein shocks, a rear anti-sway bar, 35mm diameter front stabilizer bar, skid plates, fender flares, and ZR2 decals. There was no intention of seeing the ZR2 as a grocery-getter. There aren’t any reliable numbers of how many were made, but they seldom come on the market. Rarer still to find one with under 30,000 miles. This 2004 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2 returns to auction after covering 5,000 of its 29,359 miles over its current three-year ownership. It’s finished in Dark Cherry Red Metallic and came factory equipped with ZR2 Off Road Package, 15″ wheels, and a rear-mounted spare tire. Its sole modification is a WeatherTech bug shield. Chips, scratches, touch-ups, and other blemishes are noted around the exterior, and there’s some curb rash on the wheels. The Grey interior features cloth upholstery, a power sunroof, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and air conditioning. Seat bolsters, inner door panels, and other interior surfaces show some wear, and there’s some corrosion on the brake pedal. Power comes from a Vortec 4.3-liter V6 engine, rated at 190 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear or all four wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission and a 2-speed transfer case. Its service history within the last year shows replacement of front stabilizer links, driver’s side window motor, driver’s side headlight, and wiper blades, along with a brake fluid flush, and an engine oil and filter change. With two keys and fobs, the owner’s manuals, a spare tire cover, spare parts and a spare door emblem, this 2004 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2 is listed at No Reserve here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in Montgomery Village, Maryland. The auction ends October 27, 2025 at 2:50 p.m. EDT.


1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9

The Mercedes-Benz W116, better known as the S-Class, was first introduced in 1972 as the respected Stuttgart marque’s range-topping sedan, rivalling the Jaguar XJ series, Cadillac De Ville, and BMW 3.0. The S-Class was immediately acclaimed for its imposing but elegant styling, superb engineering, innovative safety features and driving prowess, taking the prestigious European Car of the Year award title for 1973-74. While the W116’s V8 M117 engine was impressive—Mercedes-Benz’s first post-war eight-cylinder motor—powering the 350/450 SE and extended-wheelbase SEL models, it was the new high-performance, special order-only 450 SEL 6.9 that was showered with praise from launch. Its 6.9-liter M100 V8 was Europe’s largest capacity production V8 engine at the time. The model immediately challenged Rolls-Royce to the prestigious title of the ‘Best Car in the World.’ A total of 7,380 6.9s were produced between 1975 and 1980, with 1,839 of them built in 1979. This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 was bought new through Martin AMC out of Warren, Ohio. The previous owner took stewardship of the car for 15 years until the current owner purchased the car earlier this year. It is finished in Astral Silver Metallic [735] and is accented by original brightwork and black body trim. Front and rear bumpers are slim European market parts, along with the glass European headlights. All glass shows the original green tint from the factory with the white Sekurit decals and a Pilkington from MB windshield with no damage. Exterior features include a fully operating power sliding sunroof, a rebuilt Hirschmann antenna, and independently adjustable rearview mirrors. The car received a repaint in the factory color at some point during the previous ownership and presents well. Some areas of bubbling paint are noted in the door jambs, sunroof opening, and below the battery in the engine bay. 14″ Fuchs light-alloy Bundt wheels are mounted with 205/70 Michelin XWX tires that show 2024 date codes, which were mounted in the summer of 2025 and have a few hundred miles logged. The car was equipped at the factory with a hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension in addition to four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front rotors. Brake pads and rotors show virtually no wear. Four rebuilt struts were installed by a 6.9 specialty shop. The interior is trimmed in Blue Leather [232] with blue carpets and blue plastics along the interior pillars, dashboard, and center console. The ivory perforated headliner shows in excellent condition without tears or stains typical in W116s. The blue carpets show virtually no UV damage and the dashboard does not exhibit any cracks. Burl Walnut was standard on the 6.9 and is seen on the dashboard and center console, along with a shifter knob. Two small hairline cracks are shown around the climate control panel. GAHH reupholstered front seats and armrest were done by the previous owner, while the rear seats remain in good original condition. The long wheelbase W116 provides 4″ of additional rear leg room and offers working reading lights integrated into the C-pillar. ACC II climate control blows cold air, a Bluetooth-capable Pyle head unit provides audio, the retractable antenna has been rebuilt by the current owner, and the cruise control amplifier was sent out for service and now functions. Custom made Black & Blue Coco-mats were installed by the current owner. The front passenger window is inoperative. Power is provided by a dry-sump 6,834cc M100 V8 which was factory rated at 250 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque which is sent to the rear wheels through a strengthened three-speed 722.0 automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The 6.9 was hailed as the fastest production sedan in the world and could reach a top speed of 145-mph with a 0-60 time of 7-seconds. Showing 102,569 miles at the time of listing, mechanical work done through the current owner in preparation for the sale includes a water pump, all new accessory belts, oil service with OEM filter, new hoses in the engine compartment, and shifter bushings. Recent service records accompany the sale, along with Coco-Mats, spare parts, and a clean Georgia title. Find this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 at The MB Market with the auction closing October 27, 2025 at 4:50 p.m. EDT.

1963 Porsche 356 B Karmann Coupe

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 into the enlarged engine lid. Such continual refinement resulted in Car and Driver magazine calling the 356 B “… not so much a ‘car’ as a sealed ‘machine for traveling.’” This 1963 Porsche 356 B was acquired from the original owner’s family by the selling dealer. Originally finished in Ivory, it was repainted Silver under the family’s stewardship and features body-color bumpers with chrome overriders, 15″ steel wheels with chrome caps, vent windows, dual chrome side mirrors, and Karmann badges. The Red leather interior features color-coordinated door panels, upper dash, and carpet, a silver-painted lower dash, a Black 3-spoke steering wheel, green-letter VDO instruments, a dash clock, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and Volfenhag audio components. Power comes from a numbers-matching 1.6-liter flat-4 mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. Displaying 20,913 miles at the time of cataloguing (TMU), a fresh service was performed by the selling dealer in September 2025, during which the alternator belt was replaced, the engine timing was reset, carburetors were tuned, the engine bay seal was replaced, a new fuel door spring was added, a taillight was repaired, and the driver-side door handle and lock were rebuilt. Recent service records accompany the sale along with the original Kardex. This 1963 Porsche 356 B Karmann Coupe is now being offered here on SBX Cars out of Bridgeport, Connecticut with the auction closing October 28, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.


1966 Maserati Mistral 4000

After the success of its 3500 GT, Maserati assigned Pietro Frua the task of creating a new design for the Tipo 109 chassis, with the bodywork to be built by Maggiora. The new two-seater coupe was named Mistral, inspired by the cold north wind of Southern France. In retrospect, the Mistral was the last Maserati powered by an engine descended from the 350S—an engine closely related to the Maserati 250F Formula 1 car of the 1950s. Maserati introduced the Mistral in Turin, Italy, in 1963. Throughout its lifespan, the Mistral underwent only minor changes and remained in production until 1970. During production, the engine was enlarged from 3.5 to 3.7 liters, and later to 4.0 liters. A Salisbury rear axle was driven through a ZF five-speed gearbox, which was a typical Maserati drivetrain combination. In total, only 828 Coupés and 125 open Spiders were built. The Coupé had the true GT feel and offered the owner a delightful combination of sporty driving and practical usability. All of this makes for a very enjoyable driver’s car. With a then-cost of nearly $15,000 (about $159,000 today), it was in the same exclusive class as the Ferraris of that time. This 1966 Maserati Mistral 4000 is a European-spec model, which was restored and mechanically overhauled several years ago. It maintains a solid body with correctly aligned fittings, and the paintwork, Argento Auteuil as it left the factory, has been well preserved since restoration. The car rides on desirable 15″ Borrani chrome wire wheels. The interior features black Connolly leather upholstery and tinted glass all around. Power comes from its numbers-matching ans sought-after 4.0 liter straight six coupled with a ZF 5-speed manual gearbox. With 43,703 kilometers shown on a 5-digit metric odometer, this 1966 Maserati Mistral 4000 Coupé benefits from long-term ownership and comes with Maserati Classiche Certification to verify its authenticity. It’s now available for immediate purchase at Gallery Aadering in Brummen, Netherlands at a recently reduced asking price of €159,500.


1996 Ferrari F50

The success and acclaim of Ferrari’s 40th-anniversary supercar, the F40, only raised the stakes for the all-important 50th anniversary to come, which the manufacturer recognized would need to be met by an even more extraordinary automobile. The result was four years of development that went into a dedicated road car that nonetheless had very strong ties to then-contemporary Ferrari racing technologies. Its chassis design was founded on a Formula One-style lightweight carbon fiber tub, while designers at Pininfarina molded the curvaceous coachwork from carbon fiber, Kevlar, and Nomex honeycomb, and crowned it with a solid removable targa top, stowed in an accompanying road case. A new naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V-12 had begun life in Ferrari’s 1992 Formula 1 car and underwent further development in the 4.0-liter 333 SP, which won numerous Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships in IMSA GT and FIA sports car racing between 1995 and 2001. Enlarged for the F50, the engine was tuned for reasonable revving and tractable road manners, and after being fed from a racing-style fuel cell, produced 513 hp and 347 pound-feet of torque. The resulting performance was astonishing for its day, with 0 – 60 mph possible in just 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. Monstrous Brembo brakes with huge rotors, 14″ in front and 13.2″ at the rear, anchored by aluminum pistons, drew everything to a halt. This 1996 Ferrari F50 was delivered new in April of 1996 through the Hong Kong Ferrari concessionaire, yet would remain in Europe for many years registered on Italian tourist plates, EE 580 BE. It has remained with its first and only owner, Mr. Philip Ma. During its new ownership Mr. Ma would share the Ferrari F50 at both the 1996 Ferrari Owners Club meeting at Silverstone and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. According to historian and expert Marcel Massini, the F50 was utilized as the cover and feature car for the September 1996 Auto Italia magazine. The car remained in the collection of Mr. Ma, who was the heir to the Hong Kong-based Tai Sang Bank. Ma would later invest and race in endurance GT racing throughout Asia. Displaying 2,388 kilometers (1,483 miles) at the time of listing, the car has received regular maintenance through the exceptional Hong Kong Ferrari concessionaire, Blackbird. This 1996 Ferrari F50, Chassis № 104802, remains one of only 349 examples in existence and is bieng offered through Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami at a price upon inquiry.

2004 Porsche 911 GT3

To comply with the FIA regulations regarding the homologation of an FIA GT3 car, Porsche had to build a street version of their race cars. But instead of building a homologation special, the 911 GT3 was developed to be the ultimate expression of the 996 generation. As with its legendary predecessors like the Carrera RS 2.7, the GT3 incorporated lessons learned from motorsports without letting the track-only side to dominate the experience. The GT3 was based on the standard 996 Carrera, but was stripped of rear seats, spare tire, sound deadening, air conditioning, and sound system for weight savings (the latter two could be added back in as no-cost options). It used the bodyshell of the Carrera 4S, which incorporated additional front-end stiffening, and added a unique front bumper and a fixed rear wing. The Mezger-designed naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-6 generated a maximum power output of 360 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. This engine was a derivative of the engine developed for the 911 GT1 race car. The GT3 also featured a stiffer, adjustable suspension and upgraded brakes. Though initially not sold in North America, it was made available here with the 996.2 (Mk II) facelift in 2004. The power and torque were increased (381 and 284, respectively) thanks to longer titanium connecting rods, lighter pistons, and an upgraded VarioCam system, dropping its 0 – 60 time to 4.3 seconds and raising the top speed to 190 mph. Visual differences included a redesigned front fascia with a revision to the controversial “fried egg” headlamps, as well as a new rear wing and new lighter-weight wheels. This 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 is one of around 1,000 Mk IIs allocated for North America and reportedly one of only 18 finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic [56]. It came quipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox and the Xenon Headlight Package, while factory GT3 wheels are dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The cabin features Grey Natural Leather [PAG] upholstery, the dash trim strip in Cobalt Blue, a painted rear center console with extra clear coat, the model insignia on the metal door sill, interior carpeting with GT3 emblem, air conditioning with climate control, Custom Tailoring, a Porsche CDR23 AM/FM Radio-CD player, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a leather gear shift knob. Displaying 40,044 miles at the time of cataloguing, accompanying service records show diligent maintenance by marque specialists, with a full engine-out service performed sometime within the past 200 miles. A Seller’s Disclosure, two key fobs, factory literature, and build sheet accompany the sale. This Porsche 911 GT3 is now being offered here on SOMO by a dealer in Los Angeles, with the auction closing October 28, 2025 at 5:15 p.m. EDT.


2001 Mercedes-Benz BRABUS ML 5.8

When introduced in 2000, the Mercedes-Benz ML 55 AMG was the world’s fastest production SUV. Though one of the largest and most popular automotive segments today, the idea of a performance SUV was somewhat foreign 25 years ago. Thus Mercedes only produced just over 4,000 units worldwide. Decades later, the naturally aspirated 342-hp AMG-tuned M113 V8 has proven to be a robust and reliable engine. For some, however 342 hp was … meh. With DaimlerChrysler now a majority stakeholder in AMG, it left the door open for other established tuners to out-AMG AMG. With nearly five decades of experience, BRABUS has become known worldwide for its extensive performance and visual modifications to Mercedes-Benz cars, along with various other German brands. When BRABUS got their hands on the W163 ML, they were able to increase horsepower and torque into the 400s and reach the full potential of the naturally aspirated M113. This 2001 Mercedes-Benz BRABUS ML 5.8 began life as an ML 430 and underwent modification by BRABUS North America from 2001-2003. The body is finished in Black [040] and features a front brush bar, black roof rails, BRABUS front and rear bumper covers, fender flares, extended side steps, rear spoiler, and BRABUS badges. Quad BRABUS-stamped exhaust outlets are seen exiting the rear. The headlights fitted are from a face-lifted W163, and the rear features smoked LED units. Additional equipment includes remote central locking, a power tilt/slide glass sunroof, power-adjustable heated door mirrors and tinted glass. The paint is reportedly in great condition with no accidents or damage reported on the Carfax. BRABUS Monoblock IV wheels are wrapped with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 tires measuring 295/40 at all four corners. The wheels show in excellent condition with BRABUS center caps and red ML 55 AMG brake calipers. The cabin is trimmed in Saffron Leather [164] with a contrasting two-tone upper dashboard and a black leather steering wheel. Both front seats are heated and offer 8-way power adjustability. Interior appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, a tilting steering column, Bose audio, dash-mounted cup holders, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a 6-disc CD changer. Additional Burl Walnut wood trim accents are found on the cup holder covers, center armrest, gear shifter, steering wheel, roof grab handles, and doors. The rear seats can slide up to three inches and fold forward to provide additional cargo capacity. BRABUS door sills and floor mats are also fitted. Power comes from a 5.8-liter M113 V8, which is reported to produce 400 horsepower and 427 lb-ft of torque. BRABUS reworked the engine with a custom crankshaft, pistons, and connecting rods. Additional engine modifications are said to include ported and polished cylinder heads with revised camshafts and larger valves, as well as a full exhaust system and custom tune. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission which can be shifted manually. Showing 77,680 miles at the time of listing, a major service was performed less than 500 miles ago in 2019. It totaled over $8,000 and included a brake fluid, differential, transfer case, and transmission fluid flush, along wtih an oil change, new front brake pads and rotors, lower ball joints, serpentine belt, valve cover gaskets, and engine air filter. In preparation for the sale, the seller performed a fresh oil service, installed new shifter bushings, and performed an AC service. Partial service records are included in the sale, along with owner’s manuals, the original window sticker, and first aid kit. This 2001 Mercedes-Benz BRABUS ML 5.8 is listed on The MB Market by Garage90X in North Miami Beach with five days remaining in the auction.


1979 Volkswagen Scirocco GTI

In the late 1960s, Volkswagen began work to replace its aging Karmann Ghia as its sporty-but-not-sports-car model. Initially, the project was done under the Vertriebsgesellschaft (VG), the joint sales and marketing company funded by Porsche and VW to market and sell sports cars. However, with Giorgetto Giugiaro already penning sketches for the Golf, Volkswagen saw greater potential in having the designer use that as a basis. VW pulled out of the VG to concentrate on this effort independently, while Porsche would go ahead with what would become the 924. The three-door 2+2 Scirocco made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in February 1974, three months before the Golf. It went on sale in Europe shortly thereafter, and in North America the following year. It was an instant hit, with over 500,000 copies sold of the first generation (MK 1, 1974 – 1981) alone (this compares to just over 120,000 base-model 924s sold between 1976 and 1986). Despite those numbers, they are hard to come by today, and nearly impossible to find in original, unmolested condition. This 1979 Volkswagen Scirocco is a coveted GTI model (never sold in North America). It was first purchased by a then-60-year-old gentleman who registered it in the Gütersloh region. He obtained the vehicle at the dealer in Halle, Westfalen, and between 1979 and 1992, he drove a mere 25,000 kilometers. In 1992, at 73, he sold the car back to the dealer, who in turn gave it to his wife as a gift. She was born in 1942 and, like so many hailing from that period, treated her possessions with great care and drove the Scirocco sparingly over her 25-year stewardship. In 2017, it was sold to a German pilot with 30,450 kilometers. The current owner/collector purchased the car from him and has gone to great lengths to keep the car driving exceptionally well. In 2024 the steel wheels were media-blasted and powder-coated and fitted with new Continental tires. The timing belt was replaced along with all filters and fluids (engine, transmission, brake fluid and coolant. Ignition cap, rotor, cables, and plugs were replaced. While in there the car received a new starter motor, water pump, and alternator as well. Service invoices accompany the sale, along with the original sales invoice from October 9th 1979, as well as the authentic motor vehicle registration certificate. Displaying an impressive 35,650 kilometers (22,151 miles), this exceptional 1979 Volkswagen Scirocco GTI is ready to be passed to its next owner at Oldenzaal Classics B.V in the Netherlands at an asking price of €22,950.

1975 Porsche 914 3.2

Despite outselling its 911 sibling nearly two-to-one in the 1960s, the 4-cylinder Porsche 912 was becoming increasingly costly to produce (and thus turn a profit without approaching the price of an entry level 911—which it nearly had). Thus Volkswagen was brought in to help develop its replacement. The Wolfsburg company was at the time under a long-time contract with Porsche and, looking to propagate their own “sports coupe” position, used the opportunity to fulfill that contract. Originally intending to sell the vehicle with a flat-4 engine as a Volkswagen and with a flat-6 engine as a Porsche, Porsche decided during development that having Volkswagen and Porsche models sharing the same body would be risky for business in the American market, and convinced Volkswagen to allow them to sell both versions as Porsches in North America (the 4-cylinder would be sold as VW-Porsche elsewhere). All looked to be a win-win. However, development became complicated after the death of Volkswagen’s chairman, Heinrich Nordhoff. His successor, Kurt Lotz, was not connected with the Porsche dynasty and the verbal agreement between Volkswagen and Porsche fell apart. In Lotz’s opinion, Volkswagen had all rights to the model, and no incentive to share it with Porsche if they would not share in tooling expenses. With this decision, the marketing concept for the 914 had failed before series production had begun. As a result, the price of the chassis went up considerably, and the 914/6 ended up costing as much as the 912 it had replaced and only a bit less than the 911T. The 1.7-liter VW-powered 914/4 thus had to serve as the entry-level Porsche and this was never found to be acceptable by Porsche purists. A partially Porsche-engineered 2.0-liter fuel-injected version introduced for the 1973 model year thawed sentiments. … somewhat. Today, however, with the acceptance of a Porsche 4-door, an SUV line, and an electric future, the 914 is appreciated for what it always has been: a mid-engine, low center-of-gravity, genuine sports car that is Porsche to the core. That said, the 914 was built in the days before the revolutionary “hot dip” galvanization and many have decomposed or are on the verge. Finding a solid car with no rust (particularly in the infamous “hell hole” battery tray) is increasingly challenging. This 1975 Porsche 914 is among the final iterations of the model. It enjoyed a rust-free life in Southern California before relocating to the Midwest in 2003. Two years later, the car received a cosmetic restoration, which included a refinish in Arctic Silver. The seller notes that all removable parts were disassembled, primed, and painted separately. Additionally, the Targa top was removed, sanded, and painted to match the body. A 914 “heckbende” reflector was installed along with 911-sourced flag-style mirrors and a manually operated trunk release system. It rides on 16″ Boxster wheels and features a 5-lug conversion utilizing 911 front-end and authentic 914/6 stub axles. Minor paint imperfections are noted on the front hood, front valance, and rockers, along with two small chips in the windshield. The cabin was refurbished with Konig seats, a replacement dashboard pad, and new carpeting. Additional modifications include a Blaupunkt stereo system, MOMO steering wheel, 911 tachometer, and new oil pressure, oil temperature, and voltage gauges fitted with 914-specific rubber spacers for proper fitment. The seller notes that the side windows could use adjustment, and the rear brake light switch occasionally sticks. All gauges are reported to be in proper working order. Without question, the biggest change came under the bonnet, where a 3.2-liter flat-6 engine was sourced from a 1984 Porsche 911 with approximately 80,000 miles. From there, it was fitted with a Steve Wong performance chip, while a Rich Johnson engine mount kit was welded to the firewall, with the 914 mount points ground for additional clearance. Power is sent to the rear wheels through the original 5-speed manual gearbox. The car features a complete Carrera front suspension with brakes, rebuilt rear brakes with caliper spacers to accommodate vented discs, and front and rear sway bars. All rubber seals have been replaced, and the seller has maintained the car using only Mobil synthetic oil. The seller recommends installing an external oil cooler, as the engine oil temperature tends to rise during hard driving. This sale will include components from the Carrera donor car, including the original 915 transmission with flywheel and clutch, 915 shift tower and corresponding tunnel shift rods, 911 axles with CV joints, an original 911 speedometer, and rear brakes and emergency brake components. Also included are steel 914 GT flares, steel GT rocker ends, a space saver tire, a steel space saver tire mount, and staggered-width Turbo Twist wheels, along with a clean title and both 914 and 911 owner’s manuals. This Carrera 3.2-modified 1975 Porsche 914 is now listed on PCARMARKET by its owner in Granger, Indiana with five days remaining in the auction.


1977 Maserati Bora

Introduced at the 1971 Geneva Salon, the highlight of the show was undoubtedly the sensational new Maserati Bora. Named after the wind of Trieste, Italy, the Bora body design was the work of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s ItalDesign. One of the first ‘new generation’ models to appear following Maserati’s acquisition by Citroёn, the Bora used the latter’s hydraulic technology to adjust seats and pedals, raise the headlamps and operate the excellent power-assisted brakes. The mid-mounted engine design was Maserati’s first and included the familiar four-cam V8 in 4.7-litre or 4.9-litre form. The five-speed transaxle came from ZF, and the all-independent double-wishbone suspension was penned by Giulio Alfieri. A slippery shape plus 310 hp made for a top speed was around 160 mph with acceleration and handling to match. After being bought by De Tomaso in 1975, Maserati struggled, and the Bora was discontinued during 1978. A total of 564 Boras were produced, of which 275 were fitted with the 320-hp 4.9-liter engine mated to a dogleg 5-speed manual gearbox. A rarity to begin with, this 1977 Maserati Bora 4.9, № 962, is a desirable late-production US-spec model. It comes from 20 years of ownership and is said to be as close to original as possible. The previous owner had it for 30 years, and was a Judge at the Maserati Heritage/Official shows. Its bodywork, finished in Light Gray, along with its stainless steel roof, is described as flawless, while the interior is close to new seats are comfortable and supportive. The door panels, headliner, and dash are all in excellent condition. All instruments and controls, including factory air conditioning, are functioning properly. Showing 44,010 miles on a 5-digit odometer, its recent maintenance includes a fresh battery, as well as a new slave valve and clutch master cylinder. The car was reportedly serviced regularly and is said to run, drive, perform, and handle like new. This 1977 Maserati Bora 4.9 is being offered here on ACC Auctions by a dealer in Lake Wales, Florida with two days left to bid.


2009 Nissan GT-R

Originally built by Japan’s Prince Motor Company, the Skyline evolved into a performance-bred sports car following Prince’s acquisition by Nissan in 1966. The GT-R badge was used for the first time in 1969 when Nissan released the 2.0-liter Nissan Skyline. It and subsequent generations of the GT-R remain highly sought after by both marque enthusiasts and collectors. With the introduction of the R35 generation in 2007, the GT-R entered supercar territory. It lost the Skyline name but added a hand-built twin-turbo V6 that propelled the GT-R to performance levels that could not only compete with, but outclass legendary American muscle cars, as well as German and Italian supercars. Overnight, the GT-R became a legend. Its technologically advanced road-grabbing all-wheel drive provided exhilarating handling, and it was all wrapped up in a sleek, yet muscular, modern exterior design that, combined with its dominating performance, has earned it the Godzilla nickname. This 2009 Nissan GT-R has been registered to one California owner since new. It came finished in Gun Metallic and factory equipped with 20″ wheels, a Bilstein DampTronic suspension system, Brembo brakes, and a rear spoiler. Some scratches are noted on passenger’s side quarter panel. The Gray interior tames its beastly nature with heated front seats upholstered in leather and synthetic suede, along with a Bose® sound system. The mirror adjustment switch and driver’s door panel window switch show some wear. Power comes from a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6, rated at 480 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Displaying an impressive 10,100 miles at the time of listing, its service history shows a recent engine oil and filter change, as well as a coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid flush. The ABS actuator was replaced in 2020. Some service records accompany the sale, along with two keys, the owner’s manual, and a car cover. Find it here on Cars & Bids with the auction ending October 16, 2025 at 3:50 p.m.

1975 Porsche 928

If you read the Stuttgart Market Letter (and you should), you may have noted that 2025 may end up being “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 1979 Porsche 928. № 00465 was sold new through Brumos Porsche-Audi in Jacksonville, Florida on December 29, 1978. It came from the factory in Silver Metallic [Z2] and equipped with a desirable 5-speed manual gearbox, 16″ phone-dial alloy wheels, a rear-window wiper, and battery-tender leads. More impressively (for US models), it was not equipped with a sunroof. Bodywork, glass, and paint are indicated to be original with the exception of a front bumper panel replacement two decades ago, as well as refinishing of one of the bumper covers in May 2017. The cabin features Cork leatherette covering front bucket seats with highly desirable Pasha cloth inserts. Appointments include a Porsche-branded cassette stereo and factory air conditioning. The interior presents as exceptionally clean and well-kept, with no tears, cracks, or warpage. Showing 47,121 miles at the time of listing, the timing belt, accessory belts, and water pump were replaced five years and 1,000 miles ago. A complete set of owner’s manuals, three keys, a toolkit, a tire inflator, a tire saver, unused assembly gloves, and a 000 magazine feature article accompany the sale of this 1979 Porsche 928, here at 1600 Veloce in North Salem, New York at an asking price upon inquiry.


1990 Mercedes-Benz 300 E 3.4 AMG

With 6.0-liter W124 Hammers now fetching around the $1 million dollar mark (or more for the right spec), more attention has been turned towards other AMG models as enthusiasts look for more accessible avenues of enjoying the greatest hits of the tuner brand. This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E 3.4 AMG was ordered new Japan as a left-hand drive example and modified by AMG Japan with a complete Gen 1 Hammer body kit, wheels, suspension, gauge cluster, exhaust and 3.4-liter engine modifications. It came finished in a rare factory Pine Green [254] with a paint-matched grille and side molding. Exterior equipment includes Euro-spec headlights with integrated fog lights, a power-adjustable passenger door mirror, Euro front fender turn signals, an automatic antenna, central locking, and a dual-exit AMG exhaust. No signs of rust are present on the body. The rear window features a Yanase sticker, a Japanese dealer known for specializing in premerger AMG vehicles, along with an original AMG sticker. The interior is upholstered in Black Leather [261] and features front power-adjustable Recaro Classic seats, which come with their original literature. Burl Walnut wood trim adorns the center console, gear selector, dashboard, and door panels. Additional interior appointments include air conditioning, cruise control, rear headrests, a trunk-mounted CD player, and a Panasonic head unit. The steering wheel has been upgraded with a Momo M38 exclusively for AMG, and an AMG plaque is located on the ashtray cover. The original 3.0-liter M104 inline-six was bored and stroked to 3.4 liters by AMG in Japan and fitted with custom AMG camshafts, which help the engine produce 268 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Service upon import in late 2020/early 2021 included all fresh fluids, new tires, engine mounts, transmission mounts, control arms and bump stops. Displaying 112,405 kilometers (about 68,600 miles), the seller performed a full service on the car, which included a top off of all fluids, an oil and filter change, new air filter, new battery, a brake fluid flush and bleed at all calipers, and an A/C R134 recharge. A new hood pad was installed in 2022. The AMG exhaust is stamped and manufactured by Sebring with authentic, period-correct tips. AMG stickers denoting the engine modifications are found on the valve cover and radiator support. Service records under the seller’s care accompany the sale, along with manufacturer’s literature, an AMG owner’s manual and leather cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title. This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300 E 3.4 AMG is listed on The MB Market by a dealer in North Miami Beach with the auction ending October 15, 2025 at 4:25 p.m. EDT.


1991 Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 is one of the most revered supercars ever built as well as one of the most iconic ‘poster cars’ of all time. Bodywork was constructed from a blend of Nomex, Kevlar, and carbon-fiber composite. The single-layer Rosso Corsa paintwork was originally applied over a pink primer, and was designed to let the carbon-fiber weave show through. A vented Plexiglas screen covered the 478-hp twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V8 coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This late-production ‘cat / non-adjust’ 1991 Ferrari F40 was a German delivery car before being exported to the UK in 2012. It had four registered keepers while in the UK, before coming to Calgary, Alberta, where it has been in the seller’s collection since 2017. It benefits from Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming the presence of its original engine, gearbox, and bodywork. The car rides on a set of center-locking split-rim 17″ five-spoke alloy wheels, currently fitted with Michelin tires. The cabin features a pair of lightweight molded carbon-Kevlar composite bucket seats, trimmed in red Nomex material with OMP harnesses, while the dashboard is covered in the correct ‘Stoffa Vigogna’, which is the wool cloth of the South American vicuña. The purposely basic level of equipment includes a heated windscreen, manual winding windows, and rear fog lights.
During the last eight years, it has undergone major restorative maintenance, including replacement of the fuel cells in 2024, plus overhauls of the suspension and braking systems, and a full set of tires. Notably, the car also received a full engine rebuild at Bob Houghton in 2016, and it has since covered around 600 kilometers of its 27,308 kilometers shown at the time of cataloguing. Accompanying the sale are the original owner’s book pack, Ferrari Classiche certification, Marcel Massini history report, the toolkit, various spare parts, tire sealant, and a rare Schedoni F40 luggage set in black leather. Sealed bids for this 1991 Ferrari F40 are now being accepted on Collecting Cars until October 16, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.

1975 Porsche 911 Turbo

Initially targeting 400 cars to meet Group 4 and 5 FIA homologation requirements, the Porsche 911 Turbo (930) was introduced to the public in October of that year. The Turbo models were instantly distinguishable from their other 911 counterparts with their more aggressive bodywork, featuring wide fender flares that made way for widened Fuchs alloy wheels, a distinctive rubber front spoiler, and the iconic “whale tail” rear spoiler. The engine was based on the original Carrera RS 2.7 engine, its displacement increased to 3.0 liters before the addition of the large single turbocharger. The combination produced 245 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque at 11.5 lbs of boost. The 930 went on sale to the public the following year. Automotive journalists at the time were stunned by its performance, exclaiming that it was “mania on wheels” in response to the sudden onset of power from the large KKK turbocharger and its inclination to oversteer. The public responded with a different kind of mania and by May of 1976, 1000 Porsche 911 Turbos had been built. It would go on to become a cultural phenomenon, a performance king and huge commercial success. Produced until 1989, the Type 930 will always have the honor of being the original. And it doesn’t get much more original than this 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo (‘Carrera’ would be added in 1976 and 1977 to US models only) is the 122nd of just 274 built in the first year of production. This “H-series” 930 epitomizes the raw, purpose-first character of the earliest Turbos. These pioneering cars are readily identified by 1975-only features like body-colored flag mirrors and cabins that are deliberately spartan, featuring provisions for roll-cage mounting points and, on RoW examples, omit both the double-stitched door panels and center console. The result is a lighter, more responsive driving experience, standing apart from later, more luxuriously trimmed 930 variants. Completed in April of 1975, this example was finished as it presents today in iconic Grand Prix White over Black leather upholstery, accented by bold MacLachlan tartan seat and door inserts. Factory equipment included staggered 7 by 15″ front and 8 by 15″ rear Fuchs alloy wheels with low-profile 50-series Pirelli P7 Cinturato tires, and an electric sunroof. It was distributed new via MAHAG in Munich, Germany. The car is believed to have resided in Germany during its early life and later found its way to Italy. There, it was purchased by the current owner after it had undergone a comprehensive restoration, which saw the odometer reset to zero. The current owner brought the car back to Germany in 2020 and has since traveled only some 7,000 kilometers as indicated by the odometer. In recent years, the car has been expertly maintained by Sportwagen & Mobiler Rennsportservice in Langenfeld, where it was comprehensively recommissioned in 2020 with an engine-out service. This included a new clutch and flywheel, rebuilt CIS fuel distributor and warm-up regulator, comprehensive electrical work, and new sunroof seals, followed by new front brake discs and pads. In 2021, the transaxle was overhauled with fresh synchros and shift components, 2022 brought routine service with oil/brake-fluid changes and renewed oil lines, and in 2023 both fuel pumps and the V-belt were replaced. In 2024, the 930 received fresh Pirelli P6000 tires, while in 2025 the turbo hardware was replaced to original-type specification—including the factory rear silencer and turbo/wastegate carrier—as well as a new battery and radio antenna. The total investment between 2020-2025 has exceeded €23,000. Invoices are included in the sale, along with delivery and production documents, and a complete original tool roll. This 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo crosses the Block at the Broad Arrow Zoute Concours Auction sale on October 10, 2025 in Knokke-Heist, Belgium.


1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 California Spyder Recreation

With the idea that there was potential for an open tourer suited to the Californian sun, based loosely on the 250 GT Berlinetta, Ferrari created one of its masterpieces, the 250 GT California Spyder. Not surprisingly, this also gave birth to a replica market, with some executed better than others. This California Spyder began life as a 1965 Ferrari 330 GT. In 1998, the car was fully restored and rebodied in Belgium. The conversion drew upon body molds that are said to have been purchased from the collection of Pink Floyd drummer and noted Ferrari enthusiast Nick Mason, whose collection has long been celebrated for its historically significant sports and racing cars. The project preserved the underlying 330 GT mechanicals, which include the 3,967 cc Colombo V12, producing 300 bhp, a 4-speed manual gearbox with electric overdrive, 4-wheel disc brakes, and independent front suspension with wishbones and coil springs; live rear axle with semi-elliptic springs. Following its transformation, the car has lived a vibrant life across France, Monaco, Belgium, Norway, and finally back to California between 1998 and 2025, while a cosmetic refresh in 2007 saw the interior tastefully changed to its current Black. Service records from its current and previous owners are included in the sale, along with Service records from current ownership, along with one key fob, and photos from a prior refurbishment or restoration. This 1965 Ferrari 300 GT California Spyder Recreation is being offered here on SOMO with the auction closing October 16, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EDT


1963 BMW 700 LS Luxus

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 (E107) 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. The LS model offered a longer wheelbase and a correspondingly more spacious interior than the standard 700. It was an unexpected hit, saving BMW from a potential take-over by Daimler-Benz. However, it did not enjoy great sales success in Italy against domestic Fiats due to its very high cost. That makes this 1963 BMW 700 LS Luxus particularly rare and valuable. It was reportedly imported in 2018 and is now titled in California. It has been with its current owner since January of this year. It underwent some refurbishment, during which it received two-tone fresh Polaris Blue paint with a Dark Blue hardtop. Multi-stage paint correction and paint touch-ups were performed, rust prevention treatment applied, and tires, emblems, and bumpers were replaced. The interior was reupholstered in Grey vinyl with white piping and features custom-made diamond-stitched leather-upholstered panels. Power comes from a 700cc flat-twin engine paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Notable currently installed equipment reported by the seller includes dual electric fuel pumps, a Weber 40 DCOE carburetor, and 12″ steel wheels. The engine has been overhauled with a rebuilt carburetor installed, ignition and charging systems overhauled, while the intake manifold, voltage regulator, generator stator, fuses, ignition coils, spark plug wires, spark plugs, fuel filters, fuel lines, battery, and brake master cylinder have been replaced. Service records accompany the sale, along with one set of keys, a sales brochure, some spare parts (including wheel cover, engine air filter housing, and factory carburetor), and a 1/43-scale Minichamps model.

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet

With the Porsche 911’s life having been saved by both a change at the top, innovative adaptations to new regulations, and, most importantly, continued strong sales of the G-modell SC, engineers at Zuffenhausen were free to develop the next generation 911. This would eventually become the 85% new 964, but in between it and the SC was an evolutionary step, the Carrera 3.2. Reviving the Carrera name last used with the 911 Carrera 3.0 in 1977, the Carrera 3.2 was introduced for the 1984 model year. Displacement only grew by 170 cc, but the “80% new” engine also received higher domed pistons, along with a new inlet manifold and exhaust system. In 1987, the Carrera got a new five-speed gearbox sourced from Getrag with proven Borg Warner synchronizers and a hydraulically operated clutch. Now simply referred to as G50, the gearbox has made the 1987 – 1989 Carreras the most sought after of all G-modell (or impact bumper) Porsches. This final-year 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet may be the only one finished in Paint-to-Sample [L998] Turquoise [M7] over Marine Blue leather [SW] and Dark Blue folding top. It was purchased from Max Dial Porsche+Audi in Inglewood, California on January 4, 1989. Factory options include a tonneau cover, Blaupunkt Reno SQR 46 sound system with amplifier, sport seats with electric height adjustment, automatic speed control, and a shortened gearshift lever. It comes from 28 years of ownership during which meticulous records of its service history were kept. A stamped maintenance book shows mostly dealer servicing, with its last entry at 90,143 miles (90,000-mile scheduled service/inspection) in 2015. Only 10,000 miles have been added in the 10 years since (showing 100,090 at the time of listing). It is “one of the cleanest, best driving 911 3.2 Cabs …” according to the selling dealer. Complete with extensive service receipts, owner’s manuals and literature, tire inflator, tool roll, and Certificate of Authenticity, this 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet is being offered here at Velocity in Van Nuys, California at an asking price of $135,000.


1973 Fiat 130 BC/5 Coupé

The Fiat 130 Coupé is what notable designer Tom Tjaarda (Ferrari, De Tomaso, Ford Maverick) pegged as the most beautiful automotive design ever. It was designed not by Tjaarda but by Paolo Martin at Pininfarina, who in turn was influenced by Bill Mitchell’s designs for GM. While based on the Buick-ish 130 sedan, the Coupé’s trapezoidal lines provided the elegance that was more “Italian.” Sergio Pininfarina described the Fiat 130 Coupé as a “masterpiece of simplicity.” In 1972, his company received the Design Award of the Italian trade magazine Style Auto for the 130 Coupé. The interior was also given a new look with velour seating. The independently drawn dashboard with wood decor included numerous round instruments with white needles. It was considered so beautiful by the Fiat executive board that it was adopted for the sedan at the same time as the Coupé was launched. Powering the 130 was a Lampredi-designed V6 engine derived from the Dino, an engine developed in collaboration with Ferrari. When mated with the optional 5-speed gearbox, its 165 hp made for a keen driving experience. This 1973 example showcases what made—and continues to make—the Fiat 130 Coupé so appealing. It presents in a tasteful metallic blue finish and comes equipped with period alloy wheels, power steering, and power brakes. The orange velour interior features power windows (reported to be functioning) a period-correct radio, and both a rev counter and trip counter. Power comes from its matching-numbers 3.2-liter engine coupled with a five-speed “dogleg” manual gearbox. With an indicated 6,174 kilometers on a 5-digit odometer (assumed to be 106,174), this 1973 Fiat 130 Coupé is registered in the Netherlands, with Dutch registration. The selling dealer, Tuned Imports, is also well versed in shipping arrangements. It’s listed for auction here on Car & Classic, closing October 8, at 1:50 p.m.


1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet C

The rising nouveau riche of the 1920s naturally latched onto the fastest and most opulent, most advanced modes of transportation. Few cars of the time had the power and sheer presence of the supercharged Mercedes-Benz built in the immediate pre-War period. Of these, the 540K was the ultimate pre-War Mercedes road car. Fast, luxurious, extraordinarily expensive and available in a variety of coach-built body styles, the successor to the 500K proved to be a far better car, the definition of German engineering and the extravagant style of the period. The 540K featured in-period technological breakthroughs of the Silver Arrow Gran Prix cars such as oval-section chassis tubes instead of channel frame members under the sculpted body panels. Much like its predecessor, you had to be “someone” to own a 540K, particularly one of the only 32 Cabriolets built … someone like the Chancellor of Germany or the King of Egypt. And so begins the story of Chassis № 169387. This Mercedes-Benz 540K is a car from the first year of production. Cabriolet C denotes a two-door, four-seater configuration with coachwork done by Mercedes-Benz Karosserie Werk Sindelfingen. It was shown at the Berlin Internationale Automobil und Motorradausstellung (Motor Show) in February 1937. The Third Reich then purchased this very 540K for King Farouk I of Egypt as a wedding gift, which was celebrated on the 20th of January, 1938. Egypt and Nazi Germany shared diplomatic ties before the war as they both allied on anti-British and—more so for Egypt—anti-colonization sentiments. Egypt’s riches, strategic importance, and proximity to the oilfields of the Middle East would explain the extravagant present: the 540K was a powerful car showcasing German technological excellence, one worth many 1,000s of Reichsmarks. While the original color of the show car is unknown, the car was repainted—under the express orders of the German government—Dark Red, King Farouk’s preferred color. It was the official color of Egyptian royalty pre-war. King Farouk declared it law that no other car could be painted red in the country of Egypt, other than for the royals, as a way for police and natives to be able to identify the nation’s leaders. The exterior features front head lights, fog lamps, a hand-operated spotlight, fender light indicators, Bosch power windshield wipers, external chrome horns, two full-sized external spare wheels, side steps, and chrome bumpers with white rubber impact strips. A tan top stretches over the passenger cabin, guided by chrome armatures and is locked into the A-pillars by two polished handles. A matching tan tonneau cover snaps over the retracted soft top. Two suicide doors allow passengers easy ingress with the aid of the side steps. Rear brake and reverse lights are built into an assembly with the Mercedes-Benz star centered between the lenses. The original 17″ chrome wire wheels are fitted with 7″ Firestone whitewall tires with knockoff painted center caps. Vacuum-boosted hydraulic brakes clamp on all four corners, with the emergency brake acting only on the rear. Double wishbone suspension is seen at the front with a contemporary-style coil spring setup and a double-joint swing axle for the rear. The cabin is trimmed in Beige Leather and features hardwood along the dashboard, doors, and grab handles for the rear passengers mounted on the rear of the front seats. The front seats are manually adjustable using chrome handles, utilizing a sliding rail and pin system for forward/aft operation and a pivoting backrest. Deep pile carpeting and floor mats match the leather seats. The interior upholstery was redone during its restoration in the ‘90s. The front seat can seat three people and has built-in armrests on the doors. Armrests are also available for rear passengers, as well as a fold-out center armrest that’s covered in leather. This 540K got a unique in-period radio for the King during its original coachbuilding. A lockable glovebox is shown on the passenger side of the dashboard with a bezel in body-colored painted metal. A periscoping rear view mirror pokes out from the windshield frame that rotates downward for when the soft top is attached. Like its immediate predecessor, the 540K was powered by a supercharged straight-8. This time it was enlarged to 5.4 litres to develop 115 hp unsupercharged or 180 hp with the Roots-type supercharger engaged, a process simply expedited by pressing the accelerator flat to the floor. Sodium-filled valves were lifted from the Silver Arrow Gran Prix cars of the day, and the engine turned over at 2,170 rpm at 100 km/h. The 4-speed manual gearbox features a direct, rather than overdriven top gear to make full use of the power and flexibility of the new engine. First gear has no synchromesh, while second and 4th gears do. The 540K uses a semi-automatic gearbox using the gear preselector on the steering wheel for clutchless shifts in the upper two gears. Mercedes-Benz recommends double-clutching when going into first. After World War II began, Egypt declared neutrality on September 4th, 1939, but King Farouk secretly corresponded with Adolf Hitler, wishing for his victory over the British. Egypt eventually declared war on Germany in early 1945 as it was clear Germany was going to lose the war. King Farouk spent the later years of his life in the great cities of Europe eating, traveling, spending, and womanizing his way through the continent throughout the ‘50s and ‘60s, but his beloved 540K was left untouched in Egypt amongst his 100+ car collection. Incredibly, it was found stored in remarkably complete condition—still red—in Cairo in 1988. Egyptian collector Nerso Papazian bought it at auction and shipped it to his home in France, where it was kept in a barn awaiting restoration. In 1996, after inspection by a specialist team of restorers, it was sold to Germany. The five-year restoration by renowned Esdar Klassische Fahrzeuge that followed returned the car to its former state of magnificence, with the object of retaining as many original features as possible. It is said to retain over 90% of its original metalwork. The car was then auctioned in Monaco on May 20th, 2006—the same week as the Monaco Gran Prix. Showing 2,082 kilometers traveled by just three owners from new, this 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet C is now offered on The MB Market by a dealer in Berlin, Germany with UK MOT papers, historical pamphlets, and informational literature. The auction closes October 13, 2025 at 3:50 p.m.

2016 Porsche Cayman GT4

With long-held concerns over a fixed-roof mid-engine Porsche Boxster canibalizing its bellwether 911 dispelled, the Cayman entered its next generation for the 2013 model year. The 981’s design was sleeker and more modern, with a longer wheelbase, wider tracks, lower overall height, and higher torsional rigidity. Yet its chassis weight was 100 lbs lighter than its predecessor. It was—and remains—one of the most engaging modern driver’s cars in Porsche’s lineup, celebrated for its precise mid-engine balance, sharp handling, and naturally aspirated flat-six engines. Now closer to the 911 in terms of desirability and performance, Porsche went further to do what no one ever expected. In 2015, a GT model, the Cayman GT4 debuted. With components sourced from the 911 GT3, an engine carried over from a Carrera S and a tweaked and tuned chassis, brakes and aerodynamics, did their best to produce the perfect mid-engine sports car for road and track use, engineers in Weissach created what many regard as “the perfect sports car.” This 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 comes finished in extra-cost Jet Black Metallic and factory optioned with a Black full leather interior with Grey deviated stitching, full carbon bucket seats, Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB), the Sport Chrono Package (Black), Red seat belts with red door pulls (and original black door pulls), and 20″ Gunmetal GT4 wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Some light rock chips are noted on the rear quarter panels (common on GT4s). Modifications include front-end PPF, a full ceramic coat, ceramic window tint, RSNV wing risers and RSNV dive planes (reversible), and a Sony head unit with Apple CarPlay and back-up camera. Showing 26,269 miles at the time of listing, all service intervals have been completed. Complete service records accompany the sale, along with the original owner’s manual, the original Porsche CDR 3.1 head unit (boxed), and original OEM risers (boxed). Find this 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 for sale here on Rennlist Marketplace out of Marina Del Rey, California at an asking price of $105,000.


1971 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 equipped with dual overhead camshafts and three Weber twin-choke carburetors, generating a factory-rated 180 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque, as well as front-wheel drive, an exclusive return feature in its power-assisted steering, 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 1971 Citroën SM has been refinished in its original Metallic Bronze paint and comes equipped with the iconic directional headlights, 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. The exterior appears to be in very good condition. The Black leather interior appears to be original and in excellent condition, showing a light patina in the upholstery and minor wear on touchpoints. Equipment includes Jaeger instrumentation, a suspension-height control lever mounted to the left of the driver’s seat, a new, fully functional rotary air conditioning system, power windows, and an aftermarket DIN radio. The car benefits from a €20,000 comprehensive refurbishment of its numbers-matching drivetrain, which included a rebuilt gearbox with synchros replaced, a new clutch, brake pads, and new hydraulic components featuring new spheres and an HP pump. Maintenance completed by the previous owner included valve and cylinder head work. A complete documentation file covering several years of history accompanies the sale, along with a Carte Grise de Collection (the official registration certificate for vintage vehicles in France). This 1971 Citroën SM is now being offered on Car & Classic by its seller in Ychoux, France with the auction closing October 7, 2025 at 1:25 p.m. EDT.


1982 Lamborghini Countach LP 400 S Series II

It will always be the quintessential bedroom poster car. So outrageous was Marcello Gandini’s design that the Lamborghini Countach became an instant icon. Particularly with the introduction of the “low body” LP400 S, which added fiberglass wheel arch extensions to accommodate 345/35R15 Pirelli P7s, the widest tires available on a production car at the time, along with an optional V-shaped rear wing. This 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II (Chassis № 1121308) is the second-to-last chassis built out of 105 low-body units. Finished in Red, its signature NACA side ducts and flared fiberglass wheel arches sit above 15″ Campagnolo wheels, and rebuilt 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes provide firm stopping power. A remarkably preserved interior features leather-clad bucket seating separated by its 5-speed gated manual gearshift and transmission tunnel. Dark Brown dash upholstery is accented by a Raid 3-spoke steering wheel, Jaeger instruments, and Autovox AM/FM/Cassette stereo. Factory air conditioning, tan carpets, and 2-piece side windows complete the time-capsule cabin. Displaying 19,506 kilometers (12,120 miles) at the time of cataloguing, its Bizzarini 3.9-liter 60-degree DOHC V12 received Crane Cams, re-jetted Weber DCOE carburetors (6), updated electronic ignition, and resealed distributors in 2012. Rebuilds of the brake servo, master cylinder, and clutch slave cylinder, along with new CV boots and fuel hoses are reported during the same refurbishment. New door struts and maintenance to R12 air conditioning and electrical systems in 2013 are further detailed. In 2019, Dino Motors of San Mateo, California performed carburetor tuning, ignition timing, and spark plug replacement. Service records from current/previous ownership are included in the sale, as are a tool kit, OEM trunk-mounted spare tire, and its uninstalled optional rear wing, and a clean title. With documented history and appropriate refurbishment throughout ownership primarily in the Western United States, along with Valentino Balboni’s signature and participation in the 2021 Countach Rally bring modern credo, this 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP 400 S Series II carries investment-grade provenance while offering a visceral driving experience. It’s listed here on SOMO by Premier Sports Cars in Springfield, Missouri, with the auction closing October 10, 2025 at 5:15 p.m. EDT.

1965 Porsche 356 C

The Porsche 356–the one 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 1965 Porsche 356 C, chassis № 219609, comes finished from the factory in Light Ivory [6404] over a black vinyl interior. Showing just 60,614 miles at the time of listing, this example retains its original matching-numbers drivetrain and has been preserved with meticulous care since new. Extensive records, window sticker and documents starting from 1965 trace its history in detail. A Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche confirms its original configuration. The car has also been recognized in the Porsche community, earning two awards at local PCA Concours events. Its current owner made modest improvements, including additional gauges underneath the passenger side dash, the clocks mounted to the glovebox, a Nardi steering wheel, an electric fuel pump as well as a new fuel tank, and carried on the tradition of the relevant engine lid grill badges. This 1965 Porsche 356 C is now being offered by HCC Specialty Cars in Dallas at an asking price of $109,900.


2011 BMW 1M

Solely produced for the 2011 model year, BMW’s 1M defined the mountaintop of M-performance. The ultra-rare high-performance version of the manufacturer’s featherweight 1-Series combined the best hardware on offer from BMW at the time and was only offered with a six-speed manual transmission. Only 740 of the 6,309 1Ms produced were brought to the United States. Though controversial at the time for its inducted power, it has gone on to become one of the most beloved and sought after M cars—thus BMWs—ever. This 2011 BMW 1M comes finished in the all the more desirable Valencia Orange and equipped from the factory with the Premium 2 Package (auto-dimming mirrors, power-adjustable front seats, lumbar support, ambient lighting), Convenience Package (anti-theft alarm system, Comfort Access keyless entry, rear parking sensors), and 19″ Style 359M wheels. The Black interior features heated front seats, Alcantara interior trim, an automatic climate control system, and a Harman/Kardon sound system. Power comes from a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged N54 inline-6, rated at 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. Displaying 24,251 miles at the time of listing, its recent maintenance history includes the replacement of the intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors, a rearview mirror repair, an engine oil and filter change, brake fluid flush, and replacement of a key fob battery. Service records accompany the sale, along with two keys, the owner’s manuals, two window stickers, sales brochures, original purchase documents, an extra set of floor mats with velcro anchors, and a BMW car cover. It’s listed here on Cars & Bids by the Photographer’s Garage in The Sea Ranch, California on behalf of its one and only owner.


2006 Ford GT

The first-generation GT rode a retro revival wave as Ford celebrated its 100th anniversary with models like the 11th-generation Thunderbird and S197 Mustang. It was a tribute to the original GT40, which represented one of the company’s greatest triumphs at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. A 5.4-liter supercharged V8 and 6-speed manual were a thrilling combination, combined with a low-slung seating position, carbon fiber bucket seats, and various chrome-look touches. While it felt like being transported back in time to the 1960s, modern comforts like air conditioning and a premium sound system made the GT easier to live with. More than 20 years have passed since the Ford GT was introduced, yet it continues to be a marvel of analog futurism. This 2006 Ford GT is one of just 4,038 produced and holds the rare distinction of never being privately titled. Finished in Mark IV Red, it came equipped from the factory with a limited-slip differential, carbon fiber bucket seats, air conditioning, dual-remote control side view mirrors, power windows and door locks, remote keyless illuminated entry, and a painted magnesium center tunnel. This example also includes all four factory options, including painted racing stripes, a McIntosh AM/FM stereo with a single CD changer, lightweight forged aluminum wheels, and Red-painted brake calipers. Displaying an odometer reading of just 724 miles, a multi-point inspection accompanies the sale, along with two key fobs, its window sticker, and manufacturer accessories. This 2006 Ford GT is listed here on SOMO by its selling dealer in Round Rock, Texas with the auction closing October 3, 2025 at 5:15 p.m. EDT.

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

With the Porsche 911’s life having been saved by both a change at the top, innovative adaptations to new regulations, and, most importantly, continued strong sales of the G-modell SC, engineers at Zuffenhausen were free to develop the next generation 911. This would eventually become the 85% new 964, but in between it and the SC was an evolutionary step, the Carrera 3.2. Reviving the Carrera name last used with the 911 Carrera 3.0 in 1977, the Carrera 3.2 was introduced for the 1984 model year. Displacement only grew by 170 cc, but the “80% new” engine also received higher domed pistons, along with a new inlet manifold and exhaust system. In 1987, the Carrera got a new five-speed gearbox sourced from Getrag with proven Borg Warner synchronizers and a hydraulically operated clutch. Now simply referred to as G50, the gearbox has made the 1987 – 1989 Carreras the most sought after of all G-modell (or impact bumper) Porsches. This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 is one of the first 100 G50 coupes built (№ 69). The car was sold new in the California Bay area and remained there its entire life. It is one of a reported seven coupes finished in limonengelb (Summer Yellow) [L10W], a Rennbow five-bucket, one-year-only color. The paint on this Carrera is said to be 100% original. Some scratches, minor dings, and other imperfections are noted, consistent with age, mileage, and California climate; however, the paint retains a wonderful shine, and there is no rust or corrosion whatsoever. Adding to the car’s rarity are the 15″ Fuchs wheels (most Carrera 3.2s came on 16s). The Black leather interior shows very little wear in the upholstery and no cracking or warping in the dash. Its only modification is an aftermarket stereo head unit (the original radio is included in the sale). Displaying 119,346 miles at the time of listing, a top-end rebuild was performed 3,000 miles ago and is now said to run, drive, shift, and brake “like a two-year-old car.” All paperwork throughout the years and documentation back to day one, including the original bill of sale, the window sticker, owner’s manual, and (stamped) service manual accompany the sale, along with its tool kit, original air compressor, jack, and spare tire. This well-sorted and very rare 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 is being offered at 2Shores Originals in Auburn, California at an asking price of $135,000.


1981 Audi Quattro

To bolster Audi’s performance image, in 1977, a team of engineers under technical director Ferdinand Piech began work on a motorsport prototype—rallying, specifically. It used the Audi 80 as the base, along with a four-wheel drive system from the Volkswagen Itlis, a military truck. It wasn’t a simple solution. Hefty transfer cases added extra bulk and raised ground clearance, neither of which are ideal in a race car. The Quattro fixed that with something that was cleaner and lighter than a traditional transfer case. The inline five-cylinder and FWD transaxle layout meant that a propshaft could go straight out the back of the gearbox to the rear axle. The hollow output shaft turned a differential mounted behind the gearbox, then a secondary shaft inside of it would send drive back to the front axle. Cable-operated diff locks on the rear and center diffs could be activated by a switch on the center console. The 2,144 cc, 10-valve; single overhead cam inline five-cylinder divided its 200 hp evenly to all four of its 15″ wheels through that novel system, shifting via a 5-speed manual. At about 2800 pounds, the new Quattro was no featherweight, but it proved itself in the WRC and changed rallying forever. This 1981 Audi Quattro is believed to be one of the first 1,000 examples produced. As we see it here today, it presents in as-new condition after a total restoration, not driven or registered since work was completed. The restoration consisted of a complete disassembly and repaint in its original specification of Dark Blue with silver stripes, and then rebuilt using reconditioned or new parts where necessary. The interior features completely new Dark Grey Nappa leather upholstery, including a pleated headliner. Displaying 62,410 miles at the time of the restoration, the engine rebuild included the replacement of pistons, new bushings, new valves and seats, new oil pump and water pump, engine gasket replacement, and a complete overhaul of the turbocharger. The car also received a new clutch, radiator, water pipes, fuel pump, pressure regulator, and fuel hoses. The mechanics were completely sandblasted and powder-coated, and components galvanized. A brake system overhaul included new caliper pistons and dust covers, new brake hoses, and replacement of discs and pads. The brake calipers were removed, galvanized, and overhauled. This virtually new 1981 Audi Quattro is listed here on Car & Classic in Rome, Italy with the auction closing October 6, 2025 at 1:10 p.m. EDT.


1978 Datsun 280Z Black Pearl Edition

When the Datsun 280Z bowed out in 1978, it marked the end of an era for Nissan’s iconic S30 platform. To commemorate the final year of production, Nissan released a limited Black Pearl Edition—an exclusive trim offered to U.S. dealers with striking black paint, red and silver accent stripes, and sport mirrors. Only around 1,500 examples were produced, making it one of the rarest and most collectible variants of the 280Z. This 1978 Datsun 280Z Black Pearl Edition (HLS30444371) was originally delivered to Puyallup Datsun in Washington, where it was bought new and remained with its first owner until 2016. Repainted in its factory-correct Black Pearl Metallic [638] finish, the owner opted not to re-apply the stripes, though they can easily be added. The car came factory equipped with 14″ steel wheels with full covers, chrome bumpers, dual side mirrors, hood vents, a single exhaust outlet, a power antenna, and rear window louvers. The interior is upholstered in Black vinyl covering factory-style bucket seats, and appointed with air conditioning, push-button AM/FM radio, electric rear window defogger, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, analog clock, and full instrumentation including 160-mph speedometer and 6,400-rpm redline tachometer. Power comes from a 170-hp 2.8-liter L28 inline-6 with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection paired to a four-speed manual transmission. Power-assisted front disc brakes and rear drums bring the car to a stop. Showing 19,470 actual miles at the time of listing, the car was featured in the January 2009 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotics and spent time on display at the Datsun Heritage Museum in Murrieta, California. The 1978 Datsun 280Z Black Pearl Edition is a new listing on Hagerty Marketplace out of North Salt Lake, Utah with the auction ending October 13, 2025 at 3:15 p.m. EDT.

1988 Porsche 928 S4 Club Sport

Originally created on the core building blocks of lightweight, high performance and superb engineering quality, the Porsche 356 did much to establish the marque back in the early 1950s. As it evolved, first with the 911, then the transaxle cars, some of that bare-bones weight saving gave way to creature comforts to make the cars more suitable for everyday use. Then in late 1984, as a means to get back to the basics, Porsche engineers developed a stripped-down version of the current 911 Carrera 3.2 that would be more competitive and more engaging in amateur events, such as club racing. Thus was born the limited-production 1987 911 Carrera Club Sport (CS). It resonated with both press and enthusiasts, recapturing much of the original Porsche character. The 911 CS was so well received in fact that Porsche engineers then applied that same weight-saving effort to their front-engine V8-powered grand tourer, the 928. Their initial efforts focused on four prototypes gifted as company cars to each of the four factory 962 sports racing prototype drivers that season: Jochen Mass, Derek Bell, Hans Stuck, and Bob Wollek. All four loved the changes made to their prototypes intended to comfortably transport them across the continent at high rates of speed to the European races. In fact, Derek Bell enjoyed his so much he kept it as his daily driver for 18 years! With such a positive reception, Porsche made these changes available to the public the next year as “M637” Club Sport option. Those 928s optioned with M637 were approximately 120 kilograms lighter than their S4 stablemates due to the removal of comfort features while heavier parts were lightened, and the exhaust system, a smaller AC compressor, and unique magnesium wheels were added. In addition, the 928 Club Sport was fitted from the factory with a special “SP” stamped 5.0-liter V8 engine producing at least 316 hp (likely a low estimate). This matching numbers 1988 Porsche 928 Club Sport is one of just seven production lightweights built that year and is the only example finished in Forest Green Metallic over a Cashmere Beige and Black leather interior. It was originally retained by Porsche AG as a special “Werkswagen” company car for longtime Porsche employee Bernd Kahnau (a production planner for the 928, 911 Club Sport, 911 Speedster, and 911 models from the 993 to 991). It was optioned by Kahnau with air conditioning, a tinted windshield, and a Blaupunkt Bremen radio. He owned it for approximately two years before it eventually landed with an individual based in Switzerland, where it was located until at least 2019. Most recently, under current ownership, this matching numbers Club Sport has been the focus of a lavish amount of attention totaling over €65,000 worth of repairs and servicing between 2019 and 2021. Following an accident to the rear of the car, additional invoices show the Club Sport was the recipient of cosmetic attention as well with interior saddlery work, a new windshield, new seals, unibody work to repair the rear accident damage, and fresh paint in its original shade of Forest Green Metallic. In 2021, the air conditioning system was refurbished with a new compressor, dryer and a system clean with new liquids and fluids. Today, with 123,423 kilometers (76,691 miles) at cataloging, this 1988 Porsche 928 Club Sport is offered by a private seller in Berlin, Germany on Collecting Cars with the auction closing September 29, 2025 at 1:44 p.m. EDT.


2001 Audi RS4 Avant

One of the most alluring corners of the automotive landscape is the “sleeper” car. To the casual observer looking at it from the outside, it looks like a relatively pedestrian vehicle that one might use to pick the kids up from school and stop by for groceries on the way home. A closer look might reveal a lower stance, bigger wheels, maybe some subtly flared fenders. Inside, curiosity may start to peak with sport seats, perhaps some unique trim, and what’s that? a third pedal? But to the one sitting behind that sport steering wheel, what’s most alluring is what lies beneath all that: a higher-performance engine, tuned suspension, larger brakes, sticky tires. The Germans have always done an exceptional job of this wolf-in-sheep’s clothing guise, and in particular, Audi. It can be traced back to the C3 200 Turbo quattro Avant, with its 20-valve turbocharged 5-cylinder borrowed from the rally-bred B2 Ur-quattro. It laid the groundwork for the Porsche-built S2 Avant in 1993, followed by a string of ‘S’ models which continues today. Things got—still get—that much more exciting when an ‘R’ was added to the ‘S’ (Rennsport or racing). Among the most coveted of these was the B5 RS4 Avant. Aside from those subtly flared fenders, a coarser grille, brake vents ahead of the 18″ wheels, and oval tailpipes, it looks to all the world like a sensible German station wagon. The interior is much the same, with only the Recaro seats, some flashier trim, and some RS4 badges to distinguish it. But under the hood is a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 turned by Cosworth to make 375 horsepower and 325 lb-ft. In its day, its power output was just shy of the Ferrari 360 while making more torque (and able to pick up kids and groceries). It could reach 60 mph in 4.8 seconds on its way to a reported 162 mph and run the Nürburgring in 8:25 flat (just 16 seconds behind the Ferrari 360). Forbidden fruit in the US until this year, this 2001 Audi RS4 Avant is now available under the 25-year Rule, titled and registered in Montana. It is finshed in the highly desirable Nogaro Blue over Black leather and came factory equipped with a power sunroof, carbon fiber interior trim, power-adjustable and heated front seats, and a Bose® sound system. It’s been modified with a Bilstein B16 coilover kit, Zee’s Ex System cat-back exhaust system, late model Audi front brakes, an aftermarket steering wheel, and an aftermarket shift knob (original wheel and shift knob retained). Showing 53,524 miles at the time of listing, maintenance in the last three years includes front and rear brake pads and rotors, rear brake sensors, and replacement of front upper control arms. Service records accompany the sale, along with the owner’s manual and three keys. This US-legal 1991 Audi RS4 Avant is listed at No Reserve here on Cars & Bids by a private party in Bozeman, Montana with the auction ending September 30, 2025 at 1:34 p.m.


1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet

In 1958, Mercedes-Benz presented the new W128 220 SE, with a six-cylinder engine and a slightly more spacious body than its W180 predecessor. Where the W180 has a longer engine compartment and passenger compartment, the 220 SE adds even more length for the driver and front passenger. They were among the first models to have a patented crumple zone, where the occupant compartment was very rigid and the engine compartment had the function of ‘absorbing’ the energy in the event of an accident. This made the 220 SE “Ponton” one of the safest cars for sale at that time. Its engine benefited from mechanical fuel injection, increasing power to 134 hp. As before the W128 was offered as a 4-door sedan or 2-door coupe or cabriolet. The 220 SE Coupe and Cabriolet were built at the Sindelfingen factory in West Germany alongside the legendary 300 SL. This 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE is one of 1,112 Cabriolet models to have been crafted there. It has passed through only two owners, its most recent since 2006. Originally ivory, it was refinished in Black and features a matching convertible soft top. Exterior details include fog lights, fender-mounted turn signals, a driver-side mirror, a fender-mounted antenna, a key-locked fuel-filler door, and wrap-around chrome bumpers with overriders. Steel 13″ wheels feature refinished slotted chrome covers with body-color centers and were mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial wide-whitewall tires in 2023. The car was factory equipped with a double-wishbone front and single-joint rear axle suspension with coil springs, and braking is provided by vacuum-boosted hydraulic drums. The seating surfaces are upholstered in red leather and are accompanied by a color-coordinated lower dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Additional appointments include a heater, wood trim, front vent windows, door map pockets, a Becker Mexico radio, and a repaired electric clock. The car retains its original 2.2-liter M127.983 engine, which was treated to a mechanical refurbishment between 2010 and 2011. Work included repairing the block, cylinder head, and injectors, and other work during the refurbishment consisted of re-coring the radiator, repairing the battery-tray area, and replacing the timing-chain tensioner, exhaust system, heater boxes, fuel hoses, engine mounts, and ignition and cooling components. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was rebuilt in 2010. Additional work at that time included replacing the clutch assembly, machining the flywheel, and straightening and balancing the driveshaft, in addition to fitting a replacement transmission mount. In January 2023, the battery was replaced and the engine oil was changed. Extensive service records and a data card accompany the sale. Now displaying 15,330 miles, this 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet is being offered here on Hemmings by its seller in Laguna Beach, California where bidding ends October 1, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EDT.

1971 Porsche 911E

1969 brought the first significant change to the Porsche 911. By extending the wheelbase 2 inches toward the rear, its stance was improved, addressing some (but not all) of the early 911’s unpredictable handling characteristics. With it came new models to the 911 lineup: the 911T, introduced a year earlier, assumed the position of the entry-level Porsche from the 4-cylinder 912 (although they would be sold concurrently as the 912 production was being phased out). At the opposite end, the 911S continued with its now fuel-injected 2.0-liter engine. Occupying the mid-range was the 911E. It fell in nicely between the 110-hp 911T and 170-hp 911S. The 911E was also fitted with new ventilated brake discs and self-leveling hydro-pneumatic dampers (although standard dampers could be optionally chosen too). With a leather steering wheel, aluminum engine-lid, aluminum bumpers, and Fuchs alloys, it was essentially a 911S with a detuned motor. Then in, 1970, another cross-the-lineup change to the 911 brought an increase of engine displacement to 2.2-liters, bumping power up to 125 hp in the 911T, 180 hp in the 911S and 155 hp in the 911E. This 1971 Porsche 911E coupe is one of 1,088 produced for the model year. It was stripped to bare metal and refinished in its original color of Burgundy Red [24] in 2024. Various rubber seals, trim pieces, lenses, and hardware were replaced during this time. Equipment includes chrome trim and body moldings, chrome bumperettes with rubber overriders, rocker panel deco trim, a driver’s side mirror, a fender-mounted antenna, pop-out rear quarter windows, anodized gold decklid badging, and a polished exhaust pipe. The original 15″ Fuchs wheels have been professionally restored, and a matching spare wheel is mounted in the luggage compartment. Some small scratches are noted on the passenger door and the left side. The interior has been refurbished with new black leatherette upholstery, an Ivory headliner, Anthracite carpeting, and rosewood dashboard trim. Accessories include a wood-trimmed four-spoke steering wheel, a Porsche-crested wood gear knob, custom Black Mamba wood turn signal stalks and dashboard knobs, aluminum door sill trim, brown coco floor mats, manual roll-up windows, a heater, three-point seatbelts, and a Blaupunkt pushbutton radio. The seller notes the electrical system has been updated, and the gauges were restored by Palo Alto Speedometers using new LED lights. The fuel-injected 2.2-liter flat-6 engine was enlarged to displace 2.4 liters in 2021, featuring new ARP rod bolts and head studs, a balanced and polished crankshaft, modifications to the oil system, and engine case machining. The engine was rebuilt in 2024, and included an updated mechanical fuel injection system, fuel pump, and pistons. The original 5-speed manual transaxle and suspension are also reportedly restored by classic Porsche specialists. Displaying 86,497 miles on a 5-digit odometer at the time of listing, the car has reportedly been driven 1,000 miles since the work was completed. It’s now listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in Marietta, Georgia with five days remaining in the auction.


2006 BMW M5

In 1980 the BMW M Division introduced the first M car designed and developed for road use, the E12 M535i. The E12-generation 535i was followed by an identically badged version from the E28 generation, and it was only in 1985 that the M5 moniker made its debut. M5 engines were always a tough act to follow, beginning with the M88 caried over from the M1 supercar and evolving to a 400-hp V8 power in the E39 generation. This put an immense amount of pressure on its successor. In a segment in which competition from countrymen Audi and Mercedes-Benz, along with emerging competitors from Japan and Cadillac had become fierce, the next-gen M5 would have to be powered by a segment shattering engine. The answer came from Formula 1, in which BMW supplied engines to Williams in the V10 era. The motor blocks for the Formula 1 engines and those of the E60 M5’s S85 came from the same Bavarian foundry in Landshut. Eclipsing the previous generation by more than 100 hp, the E60 M5’s V10 is still considered by many to be the greatest engine dropped into an M car.  This 2006 BMW M5 is finished in Alpine White and fitted with 19″ Style 166M wheels. The cabin is fully upholstered in Sepang Merino leather and appointed with heated, ventilated, and power-adjustable multifunction front seats, heated rear seats, power rear-window sunshade and manual side-window sunshades, a head-up display, and a HiFi sound system with DSP. Power comes from an S85 5.0-liter V10, rated at 500 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed SMG automated manual transmission. Showing a remarkable 3,220 miles covered by a single owner until 2024, recent maintenance includes four new tires, replacement of the differential plug and oil plug, and an engine oil and filter, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and differential fluid change. Two keys, the owner’s manual, the original tires, a car cover, and a front license plate mount are included in the sale of this 2006 BMW M5, here on Cars & Bids by a private party in Orlando, Florida with the auction ending September 29, 2025 at 1:40 p.m. EDT.


2005 Lamborghini Murciélago LP580-4 Roadster

The Lamborghini Murciélago is often regarded as the Goldilocks among the automaker’s steel-tube chassis supercars. Four years into the Audi acquisition, the Murci debuted for the US market in 2002 as a more refined—some would even say elegant—evolution of the outgoing Diablo. Yet it carried over much of the savage engagement of both the Diablo and its predecessor, the Countach. Key to this was a new naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V12 coupled with an intelligent all-wheel-drive system. Initially offered with only a 6-speed manual gearbox, the automated EGear was introduced in 20004 and from that point on the majority of US-delivered Murcis were so equipped. An open-top Roadster joined the lineup fa year later and was an overnight sensation and highly coveted, with just 22% of first-generation Murciélagos arriving in Roadster form worldwide. Further, just three percent of Roadsters were equipped with a manual gearbox. By the numbers, just 38 of 247 US-delivery units in total are believed to exist as six-speed gated manual Roadsters. Other advancements over the early coupes included larger brakes and improvements to all-wheel-drive and front-axle lift systems. This 2005 Lamborghini Murciélago LP580-4 Roadster comes finished in a stately Grigio Antares with a Black removable soft top, 18″ Hercules wheels wearing Pirelli P Zero tires, Xenon headlamps, a pantographed windshield wiper, power-folding side mirrors, iconic scissor doors, active rear intakes, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and dual central exhaust outlets. It was optioned from the factory with a carbon fiber rear deck lid, with 3M PPF added later on the front bumper and front fenders. The interior features Red and Black leather upholstery with color-coordinated door panels, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, analog instruments, manually adjustable seats, a factory CD stereo player, automatic climate control, inboard shoulder restraints, Murciélago door sill covers, and carpeted floor mats. The carbon-fiber wind deflectors were a factory option. Power comes from the celebrated 572-hp, 6.2-liter V12, which drives all four wheels through the rare and highly desirable 6-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip differential. Cross-drilled brake rotors clamped by silver-finished calipers with Lamborghini branding bring all of this to an impressive stop, while active dampers, a factory-optional carbon-fiber engine brace, and a hydraulic lift system bring some civility to the raging bull. Displaying 7,484 miles at the time of cataloguing, a full fluid service will be completed at the time of sale. In addition, four new tires are on order and will be installed prior to the sale. A key fob, the owner’s manual, factory tools, and a car cover accompany this 2005 Lamborghini Murciélago LP580-4 Roadster, listed here on SBX Cars by Cats Exotics in Lynwood, Washington with the auction closing October 2, 2025 at 2:00 p.m.

1978 Porsche 924

From its introduction in 1976, the Porsche 924—the marque’s first water-cooled “transaxle” car—was lauded for its superb handling, negated much of the criticism aimed at its 110-hp Volkswagen/Audi-based 2.0 liter motor. Despite gripes from air-cooled purists, it did an excellent job of bringing new buyers to the Porsche experience, not unlike the equally controversial Cayenne SUV would do 27 years later. This 1978 Porsche 924 was one such example. It was purchased new by the seller and has remained in their care since. Finished in Diamond Silver Metallic [L97A], it came equipped with a 4-speed manual gearbox and a removable sunroof. The interior features seats upholstered in Black leatherette with matching carpets and appointed with its original AM/FM/Cassette radio. There appears to be minimal wear in the upholstery and touch points, and no cracks in the dashboard. With 54,637 miles at the time of listing, this 1978 Porsche 924 exudes the care of a car that many didn’t care for in its day. Find it here at Monza Car in Sherman Oaks, California at an asking price of $15,970. Happy 9/24!


1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Coupe

When the design for the Mercedes-Benz W111 began, the element of the tail fin had become prominent not only in Detroit but in Europe with makes like Fiat, Volvo and even Ferrari incorporating them into their ’50s era jet-age designs. It’s not surprising then that the W11 sedans would feature a “heckflosse.” However, when the 2-door coupe version of the W111 was introduced in late 1960, designer Paul Bracq had minimized the tail fins to create one of the most strikingly beautiful coupes ever produced. It was a design that would remain throughout the Coupe’s (and Cabriolet’s) 11-year lifespan with core mechanics being the primary differentiator. The initial 220 SE was superseded in early autumn 1965 by the 250 SE, which featured the new 150-hp 2496 cc M129 engine that gave the vehicle a significant improvement in top speed (120 mph) and a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 12 seconds (14 with automatic transmission). Visible changes include new 14-inch wheels, which came with new hub cabs and beauty rings accommodating the larger disc brakes and new rear axle from the W108 family. With a production run of only three years before being replaced by the 280 SE and all of its variants, the 250 SE is the rarest of the W111 coupes, with 5,259 examples built (along with only 954 cabriolets). This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Coupe was originally Havana Brown (408) from the factory and has been previously refinished in Tobacco Brown. Exterior features include a sunroof, a wrap-around rear window, and front vent windows. The seller reports the bumpers and side mirror were replaced in 2020. A tan dual pinstripe accents the body line of the car and the body is free of any corrosion. The 14″ steel wheels feature chrome covers with paint-matched centers and are mounted with 205/70 Hankook Kinergy tires. The car is equipped with an automatic transmission with a floor-mounted shifter, power steering, independent front suspension, a rear single-joint swing axle, and four-wheel disc brakes. The cabin is upholstered in beige leather which covers the front and rear seats, along with matching doorcards and dash trim. Burl wood accents present well with high gloss and no cracks on the dash, gauge cluster, and A-pillars. Amenities include lap belts, a dashboard-mounted clock, and air conditioning. The seller notes the Becker Grand Prix radio is inoperable. Currently showing 59,292 miles, extensive service upon the previous owner’s acquisition in 2020 included rebuilding the fuel injection pump and replacing the fuel injector nozzles, distributor, spark plug wires, power steering pump, power steering box, timing chain, air conditioning compressor, fuel tank, water pump, shocks, brakes, and tie rods, as well as an overhaul of the brakes. The car has been recently serviced in preparation for the sale. With its owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Montana title, this 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Coupe is now available on The MB Market with six days left to bid.


1979 Mazda RX-7 GS

The end of the Second World War was a time perfectly suited for the affordable sports car. GIs were returning home with the MGs, Triumphs and Fiats they’d discovered in the European theater. Dealers quickly caught on to make these available to a public wrapped up in the sense of liberation that spread to the open road. America itself jumped in the game with the Corvette in 1953, and it wasn’t long before a reconstructed Japan sampled the market with the Toyota Sports 800. But as safety regulations and insurance premiums became increasingly burdensome, the cars became larger, heavier, and more costly to build. By the late ’70s, the Datsun 280Z’s MSRP grew to nearly $9,000 (over $44,000 in today’s dollars). Things were looking bleak for the affordable sports car. But then, in 1978, Mazda came to the rescue with the RX-7. Powered by an innovative rotary engine, the RX-7 once again offered a sense of liberation—this time from the years of malaise in the automotive industry. Its 0 – 60 time of around nine seconds was impressive for the day, equaling the six-cylinder 280Z at nearly $2,000 less. Its handling—achieved through a 50/50 weight distribution— rivaled the Porsche 924 at less than half its price. Its build quality rivaled the 911 at nearly a quarter of the price. Journalists were understandably enthusiastic about what was a true enthusiast’s car, and the public rediscovered the simple joys of a weekend drive. At $6,995, long live the affordable sports car. This 1979 Mazda RX-7 GS comes from the first year of import to the US market. It comes from its second owner, who has been its steward since 1984. It is finished in striking Daytona Blue, a 1988 repaint following South Florida sun oxidation. The car has had no body damage or rust, though a few scratches and paint chips from driving are noted. It has been stored in the seller’s heated garage and not driven for an unspecified time. It came factory equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox, electric remote rear hatch release, body side moldings, 185/70HR13 radial tires, and a rear suspension anti-roll bar. It was ordered with air conditioning and the pop-out roof panel/alloy-wheel package as options. The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Black vinyl with houndstooth cloth inserts, accented by matching carpets. The dashboard appears free of any cracks and the original Clarion AM/FM radio remains in the center console. Also preserved are the original window sticker and owner’s manual. Showing 69,004 miles at the time of listing, this seminal 1979 Mazda RX-7 is listed at no reserve here on Hemmings by its seller in River Falls, Wisconsin with the auction ending September 27, 2025 at 4:45 p.m.

1958 Porsche 356 A Emory Outlaw

Before there was Singer, reimagining the Porsche 911 as a precision-engineered work of art, there was Emory Motorsport, doing much the same with the Porsche 356. Its founder, Rod Emory has been customizing the 356 since 1996 (along with a handful of other Porsche models), tailoring them to a customer’s specific tastes and needs, all while preserving the “soul” of Porsche’s first production sports car. This example began life as a 1958 Porsche 356 A prior to its transformation into an Emory “Outlaw” (a name reclaimed from purists who felt it should be against the law to desecrate to 356’s originality). Finished to a concours standard in Stone Grey, exterior modifications are relatively subtle but impressive in their detail. A center fuel filler cap sits in the bonnet up front, while a Carrera-style louvered engine cover sits at the rear. Custom 15″ wheels sit at the corners. Inside, the car is a upholstered in brown leather interior covering Speedster-style seats, Roadster-style door panels, and rear parcel area. Accents include square-weave carpeting and a wooden Reichsadler shoft knob The car retains its correct instruments and radio. Perhaps the most exhilerating detail in any Emory 356 is its drivetrain and this is no exception, powered by a 2.6-liter flat-4 coupled with a 5-speed gearbox. A turnkey Emory coming on the market always gets noticed, often seeing highlight results through active bidding at marquee auctions. This 1959 Porsche 356 A Emory Outlaw is available for immediate sale at Graham Rahal Motorsport in Zionsville, Indiana at an asking price of $649,995.


1995 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce

The Alfa Romeo Spider debuted for 1966 to replace the Giulia Spider. It was initially called Duetto, but that was changed to simply “Spider 1600” in 1967 when Alfa lost litigation over the name’s ownership. The “1600” was later dropped when the engine changed to a 1.8-liter and then, in 1971, a 2.0-liter. Designed and assembled for Alfa Romeo by Pininfarina, the Spider gained refinements and styling updates over the decades, delineated by four distinct model series. For the Series IV version introduced for 1991, Pininfarina refreshed the body with a new tail design and cleverly integrated bumpers. The Spider Veloce used the same fuel-injected 120-horsepower 2.0-liter inline-four as the standard car but added 15-inch alloy wheels, leather seating, air conditioning, and power windows. This 1995 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce is a European-market model that was privately imported. It was likely among the final cars built in 1993 to close out a remarkable 27-year production run for the Italian sports car. (The final 190 cars sold in the U.S. were considered 1994 models). Other than a speedometer calibrated in kilometers and lacking the North American market model’s airbag steering wheel, this car is functionally similar to those originally sold stateside. The car was refinished in its original color of Black in 2023 and shows no significant scratches, chips or dents. New seats are upholstered in correct Tan leather. The drivetrain is all original with the exception of K&N engine air filters. Showing 82,152 miles at the time of listing, the selling dealer reports a recent oil service. Find it listed here on Hemmings by notable importer Duncan Imports in Roanoke, Virginia with two days left to bid.


2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series

In the ongoing battle between BMW and Mercedes-Benz that began in the mid ’80s on the DTM circuit and spilled out into showrooms by way of homologation, the former’s M3 and the latter’s CLK had both turned to normally aspirated V8 power to assert dominance. BMW stuffed the M5’s 414-hp 4.0-liter V8 under the M3’s bulging aluminum hood, while Mercedes-Benz went for the mic drop by unleashing the full dominion of one of the world’s great, vanquished, naturally aspirated motors: an AMG-tuned 6.2-liter M156 V8 (badged 6.3 to honor the 300 SEL 6.3 sold between 1968 and 1972, the fastest sedan in the world at the time) producing a contemporarily outrageous 500 hp and 478 lb-ft of torque. Taking its queues from the F1 Safety Car of its day, the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series also looked the part with exaggerated fender flares that housed the oversized, 19″ forged multi-spoke alloy AMG wheels and carbon fiber cooling vents affixed to the leading edge of the front fenders, along with a carbon fiber rear diffuser and carbon fiber rear spoiler. AMG adjustable coilover suspension, as well as a front and rear strut tower brace firm up the handling of the nearly two-ton car. This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series is reportedly one of 350 originally made for the US market. Ordered new in Bright Silver Metallic [775U], it has remained with a single owner in Braintree, Massachusetts. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, “6.3 AMG” fender badges, heated side mirrors, polished quad exhaust tips, silver AMG-branded brake calipers, and model-specific 19” AMG forged aluminum wheels dressed in Pirelli P Zero tires from 2020 and 2021. The seller describes the exterior as being in immaculate condition The cabin features a pair of power-adjustable leather AMG bucket seats, with Black Nappa leather upholstery overlaid with carbon fiber/aluminum trim. The floors and rear seat area are lined with black carpeting and the center stack, center console, and instrument cluster feature high-gloss carbon-fiber trim. Amenities include a flat-bottomed multi-function steering wheel wrapped in perforated leather with aluminum shift paddles, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Harman Kardon stereo, a DVD-based navigation system, drilled aluminum pedals, and stainless steel AMG door sill guards. The seller confirms that all gauges, electronics, and accessories remain functional. With 19,476 miles displayed on the odometer at the time of cataloguing, a clean CarFax history shows CARFAX report shows a total of 17 service history entries.

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% of the Drauz built cars so finished. This 1959 Porsche 356 A Convertible D, №. 86113, is finished in its original color, Meissen Blue [5703], with correct Drauz chassis number stamps in all but three locations. It is an early (February 1959) Convertible D with the unique door top shape. The car was treated to a nut-&-bolt restoration, which entailed getting stripped down to bare metal. Every piece of hardware and all markings on top are correct. A CELETTE bench and fixtures were used to guarantee the body was restored to factory specification before a reblast and repaint, then sanded and buffed to a better-than-factory mirror finish. All brightwork was refinished. The interior was reupholstered in tan with oatmeal square-weave carpets and rubber mats. The numbers-matching engine and transaxle were rebuilt by marque specialists. 86113 went on to win 1st Place in Full Councours at the 2019 Phoenix Flight 42 with 324.1 out of 325 possible points (.9 points were deducted for dust on wheels and undercarriage). Furthermore, this Convertible D received Judges Choice Award and Board of Directors Choice Award. After attending the 67th PCA Porsche Parade, which was also the 75th anniversary of Porsche, this Convertible D received the Gmund Gold, meaning that it received 298 points or higher out of 300, In 2024, at the PCA Zone 8 Concours, it won 1st in Class, 1st in Full Concours, and Best in Show. With 481 miles driven since restoration, this 1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D is clearly a turnkey Concours winner. It is now being offered for sale through Deluxe Customs in Tempe, Arizona at an asking price of $450,000.


1966 Ford LTD 2-Door Hardtop

When it was introduced as a trim package in 1965, Car and Driver was quick to proclaim the new Galaxie 500 LTD “the most silent, most luxurious—and possibly the best—Ford ever built.” While today, putting a LIMITED badge on an automaker’s offering is largely cosmetic, in the case of the LTD, it was bolstered with additional sound deadening and re-engineered contact points where the body-on-frame was more susceptible to noise. In addition, the suspension was updated with coil springs and parallel trailing arms in the rear, and a front coil setup nearly identical to that of its haughty uptown cousin, Lincoln. Its “quieter than a Rolls-Royce” advertising may have been questioned, but car buyers did feel a notable difference relative to other cars in the segment. This 1966 Ford LTD (it became its own nameplate in 1966) has been preserved in remarkably good condition, finished in its original Ivy Green paint with a Mint Green vinyl roof and the optional remote chrome mirror, tinted windshield, visibility group, and deluxe LTD wheel covers. The body is said to be straight and rust-free, with excellent paint, chrome, stainless steel, and aluminum details throughout. The factory-matching green interior is appointed with options including the Stereo-Sonic 8-Track Tape System, AM radio, deluxe seat belts, courtesy lights, and factory floor mats. Power comes from its original 390 V8 paired with a Cruise-O-Matic transmission and power steering. Showing 10,804 actual miles at the time of listing, this 1966 Ford LTD 2-Door Hardtop can be found here at ACC Auctions by a private seller in Bothell, Washington with seven days left to bid.


1963 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk II BJ7

The Austin-Healey 3000, introduced in 1959 for the 1960 model year, is considered by many to be the quintessence of the British roadster. It remains the best known of the ‘Big Healeys.’ Over the course of production, three generations of 3000 were built: Mk I (1960-1961), Mk II (1962-1963), and Mk III (1964-1967). As the middle child, MkII 3000 is, for many, the Goldilocks with the straightforward simplicity of the original, combined with some useful comforts and more modern feel of the later cars. This 1963 Ausrin-Healey 3000 Mk II BJ7 spent its life California before being exported to France in 2010, where it has remained with its seller and current owner. A complete bare-metal restoration began the same year. The bodywork was rennovated and refinished to a high standard in its original Old English White. A new Black vinyl top was also installed. Shortly thereafter the car received new 72-spoke chrome wheels, which remain much as they were then. Fifteen years later, the flush fit of the doors and the even finish of the paintwork are a testament to the work carried out. At the same time, the cabin was reupholstered in its original spec of Black leatherette covering the seats and door panels, complemented by fresh carpets. The dashboard is said to be in as-new condition. Wood and aluminum steering wheel remain original to the car. Power comes from a rebuilt BMC C-series 2,912 cc inline-6 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The engine was remanufactured under its California ownership to be compatible with unleaded fuel. An aluminum fuel tank was fitted in 2011. Showing 91,445 miles on Smith Instruments at the time of cataloguing, the car has been regularly maintained by a marque specialist and is fully documented. The engine reportedly runs well with a stable idle and brisk revs. Some slight oil seepage is noted when stationary—as with all English cars of this era—however, it starts reliably whether cold or at temperature. It does not overheat, even in extreme temperatures, and no additional electric cooling fan is needed. Various work invoices, photos and videos of all restoration work, and a registration card accompany the sale. A very good, very presentable, properly maintained example of the sweet spot among Big Healeys, this 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk II BJ7 is now listed here on les Anciennes in Villecroze, France with the auction closing September 19, 2025 at 2:05 p.m. EDT.

1975 Porsche 911 DP 935 Conversion

DP Motorsport (dp motorsport) is a German tuning company that came to prominence in the late 1970s when they partnered with the Kremer brothers racing team. They started out as a supplier and manufacturer of various body parts such as rear wings, fenders, etc., but in 1975, dp motorsport developed a completely new racing body based on the Porsche 911 Turbo (930), the 935. Starting with the 1977 season, it began competing on race tracks around the world with customers behind the wheel. Success for the 935 came both quickly and often, and the model racked up 123 wins in the 370 races it entered. The relationship between dp motorsport and the racing team grew even more when the two worked together in creating the Le Mans winning Kremer Porsche 935 in 1979. Its slant nose and ground effects leading to straked brake ducts also made it the stuff of fantasy and dp obliged with road-going conversions. This DP 935 Street started life in Germany as a Euro-market 1975 Porsche 911 S Silver Anniversary Edition, spec’d with out a sunroof. It was converted by dp motorsport at some point in the late 70s or early 80s (original paperwork not available). The car was imported to the US in 1984 and lived in Sarasota, Florida for many years. It went to its third US owner in 1991, with whom it remained until the selling dealer’s recent acquisition. In 2002, the original 2.7-liter magnesium block engine gave out and 3.0-liter case sourced from a 1978 911SC was enlarged to 3.4 liters with Andial 98 mm pistons and cylinders, a crankshaft from a Carrera 3.2, JWE Motorsports built heads, Elgin cams, 46 mm PMO carburetors, af ront mounted oil cooler, and Triad headers with heater boxes and a custom dual inlet/outlet exhaust. The engine is estimated to make 300 hp at the wheel. The 915 gearbox was rebuilt and re-geared with close ratio gearing, a limited-slip differential from a Carrera 3.2, Patrick Motorsports lightweight flywheel and clutch, and a Weltmeister short shift kit. Underneath, the car received Koni adjustable shocks, lightweight tubular torsion bars, Weltmeister adjustable spring plates, Turbo tie rods, and original 15″ OZ vega 3-piece forged wheels. The cabin was fitted with DP Motorsport Lollipop bucket seats, a vintage DP low-spoke steering wheel by Momo, a roll bar and half cage, RS door panels, and Coco mats. Displaying 56,550 miles at the time of listing, the car is newly serviced with fresh oil, valve cover gaskets, and brand new Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires. This 1975 Porsche 911 DP 935 Conversion is now being offered by Ducauto Collection in Fort Myers, Florida at an asking price of $167,500.


1949 MG TC

Few capture the charm of early British motoring the way an MG TC does. Future TDs and TFs were already becoming too modern. Making its post-war return, MG debuted the TC at the 1945 London Motor Show. Though wider and heavier than the pre-war TB, it sold in droves and, as American servicemen returned home from World War II’s European theater, the TC became the first sports car that Americans fell in love with. About 2,000 Export Units (or EXU, with turn signal flashers and vertical chrome bumpers) were sold here between 1946 and the end of production in 1949. About 1,500 others were imported privately. This 1949 MG TC (№ 8993) is one of the latter, though imported well after production. Its Dark Burgundy finish retains a lovely patina while chrome and glass hold their sparkle. The car is reportedly free of any rust or rot. A new soft top and side curtains have been fitted. The cockpit looks remarkably fresh with conditioned wood and clear Jaeger instruments, in support of its claimed actual mileage of 2,030. Power comes from a XPAG series 1250 cc OHV 4-cylinder producing 54 hp. The motor is said to be strong, and the car is said to run and drive well. The original tools, jack, and tonneau cover are included in the sale. This 1949 MG TC is listed here on ACC Auctions by a private seller in Churubusco, Indiana with seven days left to bid.


1960 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop

The 1960 Ford Thunderbird marked the final year of the second-generation “Square Bird,” a bold departure from the original two-seater design introduced in 1955. Starting in 1958, Ford transformed the Thunderbird into a larger, more luxurious four-seater personal car, targeting a broader market. The 1960 model continued this trend, featuring a sleek, squared-off body with prominent tailfins, a wide grille, and a low-slung profile that embodied the jet-age styling of the era. The car offered advanced features for its time, including power steering, power brakes, and optional air conditioning, and it could be had as a hardtop or convertible. This 1960 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop (№ 1490010) was built April 13, 1960 at the Wixom (Michigan) assembly plant. It retains its factory fender skirts, AM radio (working, new antenna needed), clock (non-op), 140-mph speedometer, steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, and trunk liner. It has been in the same family since new. It was driven until 1984 and spent 33 years in storage before being meticulously restored from 2017 – 2019. During the restoration, the car was refinished in its original Corinthian White paint, and reupholstered in its original dark turquoise vinyl and light turquoise nylon cord with color-matching door trim. Power comes from a numbers-matching 352 cu. in. V8 coupled with a Cruise-o-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. Since its restoration, the car has been lightly driven sparingly and kept in a climate-controlled garage. The odometer shows 53,228 miles, believed to be original. A set of original keys, floor mats, spare tire and jack, a fire extinguisher, a factory shop manual, a copy of the original New Jersey title accompany the sale. Find this 1960 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop on Hagerty Marketplace out of Denville, New Jersey with the auction closing September 30, 2025 at 3:20 p.m. EDT.

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S

he 1989/90 change of model year saw the launch of the 964 generation of the Porsche 911. In 1991 the top-of-the-line Turbo model (965 internally ) was introduced. With its flared wheel housings and tea-tray rear wing, it retained much of the look of its predecessor, the revolutionary 930. More aerodynamic bumpers were the primary visual difference, even though the 964 generation was 85% new. As the last of the single turbo rear-wheel drive 911 Turbos, the 965 holds a special place in the 50-year history of the Porsche Turbo. Towards the end of Porsche 964-generation 911 Turbo production, the factory had 93 Turbo chassis left. These were all transferred to Porsche Exclusiv and hand built as the very special 964 Turbo 3.6 S. Type M64/50 X88 X88 ‘Works Increased Horsepower’ engine option, derived from the IMSA 3.6 race motors, was handbuilt by Andial for Florida-based Brumos Racing. It featured a larger KKK turbocharger, intercooler, larger-capacity injectors, and upgraded camshafts, cylinder heads, and adjusted valve timing. All Turbo S models were factory-equipped with a stronger flywheel and clutch package capable of handling 384 foot-pounds of torque, plus different heat exchangers to produce up to 380 hp. A G50/52 transaxle with modified limited-slip, a lowered suspension with Boge shocks and struts, and a four-tip exhaust system completed the package. The ‘36S’ package was offered with both fixed headlamp or Flachbau (slant-nose) front ends. These exceptionally rare U.S.-delivery 911 Turbo S X85 coupes built without the ‘Flat-Nose’ option, also known as the ‘Package’ cars, are identifiable by traditional headlights and small DOT-mandated front rubber bumperettes. They featured asymmetrical 959-style air intakes on both rear quarter-panels, a special front air splitter, a louvered rear wing that enclosed the intercooler, and 18″ diameter “Speedline for Porsche” modular light-alloy wheels, 8″ wide in front and 10″ in the rear, shod respectively with 225/40 and 265/35 high-performance tires. This 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S was one of only 17 such examples produced. It was originally sold in New York and was imported from California to Japan in 2009 before moving to Hong Kong and eventually settling in Canada in 2016. It underwent a complete glass-out repaint in its original Paint to Sample color of Silver Metallic [982], along with replacement of the rubber seals, gaskets, plastic sill trim, taillights, and H4 headlamp lenses. The brake calipers have been re-powdercoated, the full exterior is covered by clear paint protection film, and new OEM 18″ Speedline wheels have been installed with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The black full leather interior has been refreshed with new leather upholstery for the dashboard, a new leather shift knob and parking brake handle, a new OEM three-spoke RS/930S leather steering wheel, and a new Porsche Classic (PCCM) head unit. The original supple leather comfort seats were replaced with power-operated leather Sport Seats under previous ownership. Other accessories include power windows and mirrors, a central locking system, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an electric sunroof. Displaying 62,652 miles at the time of listing, the suspension has been upgraded with Ohlins coilovers, and the Brembo 4-piston brake calipers have been rebuilt. A full split-case engine rebuild was performed, including machined heads, new OEM valves and retainers, new Mahle rings and bearings, a new timing chain, chain ramps, gaskets, ARP head studs, ARP case bolts, oil lines, and miscellaneous hardware. The GT2 lightweight flywheel was re-machined, a new OEM clutch was installed, and the turbocharger was inspected for proper operation. With a toolkit, a spare tire, and a Canadian registration, this 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S is being offered on PCARMARKET out of North York, Ontario with five days remaining in the auction.

 


1971 BMW 2002tii

At the recent IAA in Munich (formerly known as the Frankfurt Auto Show), BMW unveiled the iX3. It’s the first entry in what they are calling the Neue Klasse (new class), a name that originated in the ’60s with cars powered by more economical engines (1.5 – 2.0 liter M10). Beginning initially with the four-door 1500 sedan, a smaller, more affordable, two-door version (1600-2, later simply 1602) joined the lineup with an 85-hp 1573 cc inline-4, front disc brakes and front McPherson strut suspension. Though sporting enough in its own right, it wasn’t until the 1,990 cc M10 found its way into the little coupe (upon the recommendation of then Marketing head Bob Lutz) that the 2002 became the legend it remains today. Since going out of production in 1976, automakers—including BMW—have been on a quest for “the next 02.” While many have measured up, none have quite achieved that lofty benchmark. The higher-performance, fuel-injected tii model, in particular, set the standard for the Ultimate Driving Machine. This 1971 BMW 2002tii was the 132nd tii made, according to the VIN. It is a European-market car that was reportedly imported from Italy by the seller in 1998, and it’s equipped with a metric instrument cluster. It is now located, registered and titled in South Carolina. Finished in mostly original Agave with a tan interior. Modifications include a Pertronix electronic ignition system, an Ansa exhaust system, 13″ Euro-spec BMW wheels, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Some of the removed factory parts are shown in the gallery and included in the sale. Exterior chips and scratches (some touched-up) are noted, along with 2007 date codes on the tires (the seller states that they were stored in ozone-free bags), wear on the driver’s seat cushion, and some rust on the right-front rocker panel and left-rear wheel arch. Recent maintenance includes an engine oil and filter change, brake fluid change, valve adjustment, and replacement of the clutch master and slave cylinders, and hood insulation pads. Two keys (including folding key), an owner’s manual (in Italian), a BMW Classic Certificate of Origin, repair manuals, the factory tool kit, spare parts, and front seat covers accompany the sale. This early-production 1971 BMW 2002 tii is listed here on Cars & Bids by its seller in Hollywood, South Carolina, with the auction ending September 23, 2025 at 4:06 p.m.


1983 Mercedes-Benz 380 SEC

The Mercedes-Benz SEC (C126) is already considered one of the world’s most timeless, stylish, and special cars. But, as was the case in its day, some customers sought something even more special—specifically Koenig Specials. Koenig (not to be confused with hypercar maker Koenigsegg), like its compatriots AMG, BRABUS, DP Motorsport, and Lorsiner, was a premier German tuning house. It was founded in 1977 by German publishing tycoon-turned-racer Willy König. Though it still exists to provide individual parts, it was best known for its enhanced performance and outlandish body kits in the 1980s and ’90s, often finding their way onto posters on adolescent bedroom walls. This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380 SEC is an earlier model featuring the original Gen 1 widebody, which includes extended front and rear bumpers, side skirts, widebody fenders, and a rear spoiler integrated into the trunk lid. The kit was reportedly fitted in period during the 80s and remains fully intact. Custom-built 3-piece Aero III-style wheels fill the enormous fender wells and feature AMG engraved on each face. The wheels are mounted with new Kenda Kr20 tires measuring 275/35 in the front and 335/30 in the rear. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs. The original Koenig sport suspension has been overhauled with an SF coilover system with height adjustability. The cabin is upholstered in Black leather [251] with power-adjustable Recaro Classic front seats and a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Woodgrain trim adorns the dash, console, and doors with extended wood panels on the door cards. Amenities include a Sony head unit, AMG steering wheel, dual manual climate control, power windows, and dual rear seats. A new driver window regulator was installed in September 2023 along with an A/C service. The Euro 3.8-liter M116 V8 was factory rated at 218 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Dual chrome slanted exhaust pipes exit from the rear of the car. A full-size “bundt” style spare wheel is mounted under the trunk floor and pictured in the gallery. With 144,312 kilometers (89,671 miles) shown on a metric odometer, service performed in the last 2 years includes a new A/C compressor and drier, new A/C temp sensor, new spark plugs and wires, and new stabilizer bar control links. Receipts for all work performed under the seller’s ownership are included. A US title was issued upon import by The Patina Collective. Since then, annual registrations in Montana with the current owner are shown. This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380 SEC Koenig Specials is now offered by the seller in Charlotte, North Carolina here on The MB Market with six days left to bid.

2013 Porsche Boxster S

The third generation of the Porsche Boxster (981) remains many enthusiasts’ favorite. Its styling borrowed queues from the Carrera GT Supercar, with shorter overhangs, a significantly forward-shifted windscreen, a flatter silhouette, and expressive edges. Its wheelbase was 2.4″ longer than its 987 predecessor, yet the body shell was 17% lighter, thanks to an increased use of aluminum construction along with high-strength steel in strategic areas. This kept the curb weight to around 3,000 lbs. The added wheelbase also contributed to a larger cockpit with improved ergonomics and a completely redesigned, fully electric top, which did away with a convertible top compartment lid. But it’s perhaps most beloved as the last non-GT Boxster to be powered by a flat-six, and though down by 200 cc to 2.7 liters, its DFI (direct fuel injection) more than made up for it. The 981’s chassis and suspension were similar to the 991 Porsche 911, with a 60 mm longer wheelbase and increased front track by 36-48 mm depending on front wheel offset. The front suspension geometry was revised to increase its resistance to braking dive, and the rear suspension had much greater resistance to dynamic toe changes than the 987. Chassis control electronics also evolved, with the ninth generation of PSM (Porsche Stability Management) offering enhanced functions such as holding the vehicle on a steep incline to aid hill starts, improved PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), and optional Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). PTV actively braked the inside rear wheel during cornering, which enhanced turn-in and agility. The steering itself was the same as the 991, with an electronically assisted power steering rack featuring revised steering geometry to allow a tighter turning radius of 10.36 meters. As before, the 981 Boxster was available initially in base and ‘S’ trim, with the latter benefiting from the 991’s 3.4 liter flat-6 motor, along with 19″ wheels, a wind deflector, and larger brakes with red calipers. This 2013 Porsche Boxster S comes finished in GT Silver Metallic and spec’d with over $30,000 in options, which include 20″ Carrera wheels, PTV, Sport Chrono+, PASM, PSE Sport Exhaust System, PDLS, Power Steering Plus, Premium Package, Bose, ParkAssist ( front and rear), and Light Design Package. The Natural Carrera Red leather interior features sport seats, seat belts in silver gray, key painted in GT Silver, and roll bars painted in GT Silver. Its recent service history shows a 10,000-, 20,000- and 40,000-mile service in addition to warranty work, which included AMB7 Recall (replacing axle carrier side section due to the upper pan leaking, new front brake pads and rotors; and new injectors, walnut blasting, and new lifters owing to a slight fluctuation in RPMs. Full PPF was also applied to the front. The sale will include records dating back to 2019, when the current and second owner assumed stewardship. The car is covered by a Porsche CPO warranty until January 2026. Showing 28,920 miles at the time of listing, this 2013 Porsche Boxster S can be found here on The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) out of San Diego, with an asking price of $60,000.

 


1991 Volkswagen Corrado

Launched in 1990, Volkswagen marketed the Corrado as its “first full-blooded sports car.” It replaced the Scirocco, though it was positioned further towards the performance end of the spectrum with a supercharged inline-4 supplying the motivation. This 1991 Volkswagen Corrado G60, finished in classic Tornado Red, is a left-hand drive example imported from Japan. Factory equipment includes a front spoiler, rectangular headlamps, fog lights, a roof-mounted antenna, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and 15″ Speedline alloy wheels. The interior features front sport seats and rear buckets upholstered in black cloth with patterned seat centers, complemented by matching door panels and grey carpeting. Equipment includes power windows, central locking, air conditioning, slider-style HVAC controls, and an aftermarket head unit. The seller reports the interior is clean with no visible wear or unusual odors. All gauges and electronics are reported to be in proper working order. Power comes from a supercharged 1.8-liter inline-four engine factory-rated at 160 hp and 166 lb-ft of torque. The front wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual transmission. The chassis utilizes MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear design, while four-wheel discs facilitate stopping power. Displaying 48,787 kilometers at the time of listing, recent service included an oil change and a new battery. This sale will include a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean Virginia title, along with a 6-month/6,000-mile warranty from the dealer in Christiansburg, Virginia. It’s listed on PCARMARKET with six days left to bid.


2017 Alfa Romeo 4C

Alfa Romeo’s return to the US-market was heralded by a bold new mid-engine offering. The 4C first arrived for model-year 2014 in coupe-only configuration with a Targa-roofed Spider variant available the following model year. Exotic styling adorned carbon-tub construction and tactile sportscar tech throughout. By the end of its run in 2019, worldwide production amassed fewer than 10,000 units.  This 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C, finished in Madreperla Tri-Coat White, came generously equipped with the Coupe Track Package 1 (Carbon fiber rear spoiler, leather/microfiber steering wheel, race-tuned suspension), Coupe Convenience Group (security alarm, cruise control, rear parking assist system), 18″ front and 19″ rear “phone dial” wheels, a sport-tuned dual exhaust, and a carbon fiber roof. The cabin is upholstered in Red leather and optioned with the Carbon Fiber Interior Trim Group (carbon fiber instrument panel bezel, shift bezel, air vents, and cluster bezel). Power comes from a turbocharged 1.75-liter inline-4, rated at 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. With 5,807 miles on the odometer at the time of listing, its recent service history shows routine engine oil and filter changes, a brake fluid flush/change, and replacement of the battery, windshield seal, timing belt, timing belt tensioner, idler pulley, water pump, water pump seal, cam plate gasket, vacuum pump gasket, and accessory belt. An XPEL paint protection film rocker kit was also installed, while the chassis and suspension were re-torqued. Two keys, an owner’s manual, the window sticker, sales brochure, an oil cap removal tool, a faceplate case for the Alpine radio, a battery tender, a tire inflator kit, and a car cover are included in the sale.

1971 Porsche 911 S/T

In the ‘70s, the FIA came out with new rules that allowed the wheel arches to be flared by two extra inches from standard to accommodate wider wheels. Porsche took advantage of the extra space and the 911 S/T was born. Combining a 911 S in the lightweight trim of a T, weight was further reduced with thinner-gauge steel for the roof and floorpans. Heating ducts, seat slide supports, the glove-box lid, ashtray, sun visors and rear torsion-bar covers were deleted. Transverse bars linked the strut towers, while soundproofing and under-seal were omitted and minimal paint was applied. Plastic front and rear bumpers, a plastic front lid and lightweight Plexiglas side and rear windows were included. The 2,404 cc engine produced 270 bhp, and upgraded ventilated disc brakes, Recaro sport seats and a variety of fuel capacities completed the specification. The cars had success at the Daytona 6 Hours, the Sebring 12 Hours, the 1000 km Nürburgring, and the Targa Florio. A total of 33 were built in 1970 and 1971. This 1971 Porsche 911 S/T, finished in classic Porsche Black over a Dark Olive Green interior, was meticulously restored with wide steel body fenders, ST front and rear bumpers, lightweight aluminum and fiberglass panels, a front lip spoiler, and a ducktail rear spoiler. Power comes from a 2.5-liter flat-six, based on the 2.4-liter platform, with increased bore (86.7 mm) and high-compression pistons, as well as a twin-plug ignition, larger valves, and Weber 46 IDA carburetors, Magnesium alloy block and heads, forged steel crankshaft, and custom racing exhaust to produce over 280 horsepower. Combined with a curb weight of approximately 900 kg (1,984 lbs), this 1971 Porsche 911 S/T offers unmatched agility and responsiveness. It’s being offered here at Banyan Motors in Southhampton, New York, at an asking price of $365,000.


2013 BMW M5

The BMW M5 has consistently been the benchmark for the high-performance sports sedan. Throughout its 40-year lifespan, one is likley to get seven varying opinions on which generation was the Ultimate Driving M5. Those arguing for the fifth generation certainly have a case. It was the first factory turbocharged M5, and the last to offer a manual gearbox. Despite being shy of two cylinders and 600 cc, its M TwinPower turbo V8 bested its V10 predecessor by 60 hp and a generous 122 lb-ft of torque, all whilst improving fuel economy by 30%. Then there was the new suspension. Developed on the racetrack and comprehensively tested on the legendary Nordschleife, it supplied hitherto unknown dynamics in terms of lateral and longitudinal acceleration. This 2013 BMW M5 is one of 577 fitted with the 6-speed manual, offered exclusively for the North American market. It is finished in handsome Space Gray Metallic and, according to its Monroney label, came factory equipped with the Executive Package (4-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable heated and ventilated active front seats including lumbar support, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, power rear sunshade & rear side window shades, head-up display, soft-close doors, power trunk, smartphone integration, BMW apps, Comfort Access keyless entry), the Driving Assistance Package (lane departure warning system, active blind spot detection, surround-view camera), 20″ Style 343M wheels, an Electronic Damper Control (EDC). The Black interior is appointed with Merino leather upholstery and a Bang & Olufsen surround sound system. It’s been tastefully modified with an Akrapovic exhaust system, BMC engine air filters, CTS Turbo charge pipes, 3-ply high-temp silicone coolant tubing, and a Black kidney grille with M colors (factory grille retained). Minor damage was reported in July 2023 and some exterior chips, scratches, and dings are noted, along with scuffs and cracked paint on the rear bumper. Displaying 89,222 miles at the time of listing, its service history shows regular maintenance and scheduled inspections, as well as the recent replacement of the clutch slave cylinder, rear output shaft seal, and battery. With two keys, the owner’s manuals, a Blackstone Laboratories oil analysis report, all-weather floor mats, factory air filters, and an aftermarket 12.3-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (not currently installed), this rare 6-speed 2013 BMW M5 is listed here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in Colorado Springs, with the auction ending September 19, 2025 at 3:50 p.m. EDT.


1975 Lanica Fulvia 1.3S

Named after the Roman road connecting Turin to Tortona in Italy, the Lancia Fulvia Coupe was introduced in 1965 with its lightweight front-wheel-drive configuration. While WRC fans no doubt associate Lancia with the epic Stratos taking titles in 1974, ’75 and ’76, or the 037’s Group B win in 1983, or the Delta’s sextet of wins in Group A, It was the Fulvia Coupé where the rally legend started. Introduced in 1965, two years after its Berlina sibling, the Fulvia Coupe would go on to win the International Championship for Manufacturers (a precursor to the WRC) in 1972. This 1975 Fulvia 1.3S comes finished in Casino Green with a striking Light Mustard bucket seat interior. It is said to be an extremely correct and original example in superb condition and extraordinarily fun to drive. Power comes from a 1300 cc V4 engine coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission. Stopping comes courtesy of 4-wheel power disc brakes sitting behind 14″ alloy wheels. Displaying 49,821 kilometeres at the time of listing, a thick file of service records, manuals and incidentals accompany the sale. This 1975 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S is offered for sale here at The Stable, Ltd. in Gladstone, New Jersey with an asking price of $32,000.

1972 Porsche 911T

In August 1967, the original O-series Porsche 911 was replaced by the A-series. Once again there were four variants: the entry level 911T sat below the 911, the 911L and the 911S. It featured a 110-hp 2.0-liter Type 901/03 engine with Weber carburetors. It was a little slower to 60 mph than the rest of the range, taking 8.9 seconds from a standstill and top speed was 124 mph. In 1972, Porsche upgraded the 911 range to a new, larger 2,341cc engine, commonly known as the “2.4 L” engine. With the power and torque increase, the 2.4-liter cars also got the newer and stronger 915 gearbox. US-spec 911T’s had a mechanically fuel-injected Type 911/51engine rated at a respectable 140 hp. Other universal changes included a black aluminum engine grille (instead of silver) and gunmetal model script rather than anodized gold. A bigger driver’s side wing mirror was also fitted (a passenger mirror was still an optional extra). This 1973 Porsche 911T presents to all the world as a highly original example wearing its rare (five-can) and original Rose Red paint. Its Black Leatherette interior also remains entirely original and in remarkably good, clean condition. It is under the bonnet where things stray from its exceptional preservation-class appearance. It’s there we find a thoroughly inspected and tested, low mileage 3.6-liter unit out of 964-generation Porsche 911. Work was performed by acclaimed mechanic Jeff Gamroth of Rothsport Racing only 9,000 miles ago. No shortcut were taken when fitting the new motor and the cooling system was overhauled and upgraded to support it. It was also fitted with new heat exchangers, a stainless-steel exhaust and a lightweight flywheel. Not only does the engine benefit from increased size, but also from electronic fuel injection, lending to better drivability and reliability than the CIS injection system fitted to the original engine. The end result is a car proven to output over 220 hp, a very generous amount of power given the car light weight.  The car’s newfound power is sent to the rear through a rebuilt 915 transaxle, complete with an upgraded limited-slip differential. To balance the car, the braking capacity has been increased with a new, larger-diameter master cylinder, 930 Turbo calipers, and larger-diameter, cross-drilled rotors. Handling has also been sharpened with upgraded Bilstein dampers, stiffer 22mm front and 28mm rear torsion bars, and well as adjustable front and rear sway bars. New front ball joints and 930 Turbo tie-rods have also been fitted. Rounding out the handling is a set of refinished Fuchs wheels, the rears widened to 7, wearing sticky Bridgestone RE-71RS tires. A spare tire, jack, owner’s manual, and service/upgrade records accompany the sale of this hot-rod 1972 Porsche 911T, here at Cooper Classics in lower Manhattan, with an asking price upon inquiry.


1978 Toyota Chinook 4×4 Overland Conversion

Seeing an increasing demand for a small pickup truck in its home market (largely created by rival Datsun since 1955), Toyota introduced the Hilux in 1968. The second generation (RN20) came along for the 1973 model year, just as the oil embargo was about to ramp up the need for more economical vehicles. The RN20 brought with it an efficient 2.0-liter 18R 4-cylinder along with more carlike styling, a more comfortable interior and, in North American markets, a longer bed. Around the same time, Chinook, an American manufacturer of RVs since 1938, began a close partnership with Toyota Motor Sales, USA. The Toyota Chinook was originally marketed as the world’s first “micro mini-motorhome.” It was released in 1973. It was based on the Toyota Hilux cab and chassis, with the camper added to the rear at Chinook’s La Verne, California plant. The conversion included a fiberglass camper shell with pop-up top, folding bed, cabinets, sink, propane-powered stove, microwave, power converter, and more, creating an affordable and comparatively fuel-efficient recreational vehicle. This 1978 Toyota Chinook adds significantly to the recreational aspect with extensive overlanding modifications. These include a four-wheel drive system, suspension system, and frame sourced from a 1980 Toyota 4×4 pickup. Its 2.2-liter 20R engine (also sourced from the 1980 pickup) was fitted with Mikuni side-draft carburetors, a COMP Cams 268 camshaft, oversized valves, and an auxiliary engine oil cooler and coupled with a G52 5-speed manual gearbox. The suspension has been further modified with a lift kit (3″ front and 4″ rear), and 15″ wheels. The cabin is equipped with Recaro front seats, air conditioning, an AM/FM radio with Jensen speakers, and a CB radio. Some exterior chips, scratches, paint imperfections, flaking paint on the underside of the hood, and rust on some underbody components is noted externally, while the interior touch points show some wear. The cruise control is inoperative. Recent maintenance shows a clutch kit with replacement of the clutch slave cylinder, and clutch master cylinder, as well as a fresh battery. Showing 46,400 miles on a 5-digit odometer (true mileage unknown), this 1978 Toyota Chinook 4×4 Overlander Conversion is listed here on Cars & Bids by a dealer in Park City, Utah with the auction closing September 16, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. EDT.


2000 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG

While it may not have the panache of a “pre-merger AMG” Mercedes-Benz model, nor the collaboration of the Porsche-built W124 500 E/E 500, the W210 E 55 AMG has endured as one of the most beloved Mercedes-Benz models. It comes from a time–just—when DaimlerChrysler was more engineer- than shareholder-driven. Materials retain the highest quality standards that had made the Stuttgart company such a legendary marque, while feeling entirely modern in the driving experience. The naturally aspirated M113 will forever be hailed as one of AMG’s most robust and reliable engines, not to mention allowing the E 55 AMG to compete with the likes of the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette for straight-line performance. This 2000 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic [744U] and comes fitted with an AMG body kit including sculpted front and rear bumpers, side skirts, factory rolled fenders, and twin chrome exhaust outlets. Additional features include xenon headlights, headlight washers, power-adjustable mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and a glass sunroof. All rubber seals are in excellent condition, and there is no sign of rust or corrosion anywhere on the body. Factory 18″ AMG Monoblock wheels are wrapped in 245/40 front and 275/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires which were mounted in November 2020 and show 2020 date codes. The wheels have been previously refinished prior to the owners acquisition. The rear brake pads were replaced in November 2020. The cabin features seats upholstered in two-tone Black and Grey AMG Exclusive leather [528], along with matching door panels and headrests.

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

Often regarded as the purest expression of the final air-cooled 911, the 993-generation Porsche 911 Carrera RS was originally developed as a homologation special for the Carrera Cup 3.8 RSR race car. It incorporates a factory-modified version of the Carrera 2 bodyshell with extra stiffening, seam welding, spoilers, side skirts, and rolled wheel arches. Tipping the scales at a 1,280 kg, the car’s weight was minimized with thinner glass windows and the elimination of a factory sunroof, power mirrors, and rear defroster. It features front and rear spoilers as well as 18″ Speedline wheels with RS-logo center caps. Only 1,014 examples were produced between 1995 and 1996 and the model was not offered for sale in the United States, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after Porsches of all time.

Even rarer, this example came finished in highly desirable Riviera Blue, along with Clubsport front and rear spoilers. The Black interior is appointed with a paint-matched half roll cage (included), carbon fiber bucket seats, leather gauge rings, leather control knobs, RS steering wheel in two-tone blue, and a Porsche cassette stereo. Power comes from a Type M64/20 3.8-liter flat-6 engine producing 300 hp and 262 foot-pounds of torque, coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission. Displaying 64,059 miles at the time of listing, this 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera RS is a new arrival at Marshall Goldman in Baltimore with an asking price

1993 Toyota Land Cruiser LC70 Prado

Production of the first generation of the Toyota Land Cruiser began in 1951 after the Japanese army captured a Bantam GP (or Jeep, as we know it) upon its occupation of the Phillipines during World War II. From there, it went on to rival the Jeep as the world’s most capable off-roaders. While remaining purpose-driven and utilitarian, the Land Cruiser adapted to broader customer desires with increasing levels of comfort and usability until the decidedly more luxurious FJ80 was introduced in 1990. Rather than abandon its general-purpose roots, Toyota split the product line into two, allowing the FJ80 to become something of a Range Rover alternative while offering a back-to-basics heavy-duty model with the 70-Series, introduced four years earlier as the heir apparent to the FJ60. The LC70 Prado, introduced alongside the FJ80, was intended to be the Goldilocks of the Land Cruiser family. It used a body-on-frame design, making it highly capable off-road, but was marketed toward lighter-duty on-road use, with upgraded interior fittings and other urban amenities. Though never offered new in the US, the Prado has found a growing popularity since the “25-year rule” has allowed importation. Most tend to be right-hand drive models, which have a certain JDM appeal, but not very practical at your local Wendy’s. This 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser LC70 Prado is a left-hand drive example now titled and registered in Jackson, Wyoming. It comes finished in Black and factory equipped with a 60/40 vertically-split tailgate, rear-mounted spare tire, and sunroof. The Gray interior features cloth upholstery and is appointed with power windows. Notable modifications include a stainless side-exit exhaust with an air intake snorkel, clear front turn signal lenses, an aftermarket rear bumper with a tow hitch, aftermarket side steps, an Alcantara headliner, and a Sony head unit. More off-road-oriented enhancements include 15″ FJ80/4Runner wheels, an Old Man Emu 2″ suspension lift kit, Old Man Emu steering damper, heavy-duty steering bars, heavy-duty front and rear panhard bars, caster correction bushings, and yellow-painted brake calipers. Some wear is noted on the front seats (rear seats are missing) and various interior surfaces and components. The interior door panel trim is loose, and the carpets are discolored. Power comes from a 3.0-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder, rated at about 130 hp and 213 lb-ft of torque. Output is directed to the rear or all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. Recent maintainence shows replacement of timing belt, water pump, thermostat, radiator, alternator, engine and transmission mounts, accessory belt, cam cover gasket, injection pump gaskets, CV axles, U-joints, front differential crown wheel and pinion and bearings, driveshaft flange, front brake calipers, rotors, and pads, rear brake shoes, driver’s window motor, tires, fluids, and exterior lights. This 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser LC70 Prado is listed here on Cars & Bids with the auction ending September 15, at 4:10 p.m. EDT.

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 S Flachbau

Towards the end of Porsche 964-generation 911 Turbo production, the factory had 93 Turbo chassis left. These were all transferred to Porsche Exclusiv and hand built as the very special 964 Turbo 3.6 S. These cars were fitted with the X88 option, which increased power to 380 hp, as well as added an auxiliary oil cooler. The boost in power was thanks to the addition of a bigger turbocharger (the K27 7006 turbocharger with more boost), upgraded camshafts, cylinder heads and adjusted valve timing. The ‘36S’ package was offered with both fixed headlamp ot Flachbau (slant-nose) front ends. Generally, the 3.6 S included the X92 Exclusive front spoiler, the X93 Exclusive rear spoiler, and X99 air inlets on the rear fenders for engine cooling, but the cars delivered to the USA, Japan and rest of world were quite different. Most of the 3.6 Flachbaus were delivered new to the USA with 928-style pop-up headlights (known as the X85 package) and all the Exclusiv options mentioned above. In all, 76 Flatnose cars were made, with 39 built as X85s. They were the last of the truly hand-built Porsche 911 production cars. This 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S X85 Flachbau was delivered new to Classic Automobiles, Inc. of Tuckahoe, New York. It is one of two factory-finished in Grand Prix White. Equipment includes headlamp washers, power mirrors, an electric sliding sunroof, a rear window wiper, and red Porsche-branded brake calipers. The seller notes that the exterior is preserved in excellent original condition. The cabin is appointed with Cashmere Beige leather upholstery and matching carpets complemented by optional Light Rootwood trim for the dashboard, instrument panel, shifter knob, and parking brake handle. Accessories include optional heated and power-adjustable seats in supple leather, adjustable front seat lumbar support, power windows, a central locking system, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a Porsche-branded cassette stereo. After residing within the Blackhawk Collection in California, the car joined the famed White Collection in 2016, where it was displayed among other museum-grade Porsches and featured in numerous publications. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this exceptionally rare 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S Flachbau is now being offered on PCARMARKET out of North Miami Beach, Florida with only 45 delivery miles showing on the odometer. The auction closes in six days.


1987 Ford Thunderbird Sport

It began in 1955 as Ford Motor Co.’s answer to the Corvette. And while Ford preferred calling it a “personal luxury car” as opposed to a true sports car, its 2-seat open-top configuration was undeniably sporty. Tastes changed, times changed, seats were added—doors were added—until the T-Bird had lost most of the personality of its personal luxury. Things began to change with downsizing trends in the early ’80s, and by the ninth generation, it underwent a substantial redesign. Taking queues from the Europeans, most notably the class-leading BMW 6-Series (E24), the 1983 T-Bird emphasized performance and handling over outright luxury and comfort content. Its swoopy aerodynamic (0.35 Cd) styling was a radical departure from its “Sqaurebird” predecessor and a harbinger of future Ford designs (Taurus, Tempo …). A 1987 facelift included flush-mounted composite headlamps and rear quarter glass. While a Mustang SVO-derived 190-hp 2.3-liter turbocharged and intercooled 4-cylinder, coupled with a 5-speed gearbox, was designed to be a forward-thinking Euro-competitor, the T-Bird’s core was its V8, as it had been since 1955. In the case of this 1987 Ford Thunderbird Sport, it is the venerable 5.0 mated to a 4-speed automatic. It was delivered new to Packey Webb Ford in Wheaton, Illinois, and subsequently spent time in North Carolina and Scottsdale before being acquired by the seller earlier this year. The car is finished in Dark Shadow Blue Clearcoat Metallic [77] (referred to as “Shadowbird” in T-Bird circles) and features a power antenna, an electric rear-window defroster, front cornering lamps, power-adjustable mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. The seller states a paint correction was carried out in preparation for the sale and “not a single scratch, ding, dent, or chip” can be seen. The rash-free 16″ Turbo Coupe-style wheels are dressed in Michelin tires installed under previous ownership. The cabin features six-way power-adjustable front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in Shadow Blue cloth. Amenities include a cassette stereo, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and air conditioning. The 5.0-liter V8 routes power to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a Traction-Lok limited-slip differential. Showing a remarkable 4,260 miles at the time of listing, recent maintenance includes servicing the air conditioning system, changing fluids, and replacing the battery. This 1987 Ford Thunderbird Sport can be found on Facebook Marketplace by its seller in Washington Township, New Jersey at an asking price of $19,950


1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider

With only 3443 being built between 1958-1962, the Alfa Romeo 2000 tended to be overshadowed by the smaller and cheaper Giulietta, despite a relaxed high-speed cruising ability and excellent smoothness. It was originally produced with a 1,975cc Hemi DOHC inline four, independent front suspension, live rear axle, five-speed gearbox, and drum brakes all round. Available as both Spider and Sprint versions designed for luxurious long-distance touring, its 115 hp was good enough for a top speed in excess of 110 mph. The Touring coachwork of this Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider was first registered in 1960, and comes with its French registration document. It is finished in classic Bianco, repainted to a very high standard. Gaps look remarkably consistent for a 65-year-old convertible. Brightwork and glass all appear to present well. The car is fitted with steel wheels with correct chrome hub caps. Its cabin, upholstered in Black, is reportedly all original with a proper patina in the upholstery, carpet wear consistent with age, and clear instruments. Its 2-liter motor has been rebuilt and the car is said to run and drive well. An independent assessment and valuation were documented in 2021, while its Controle Techniqueis is valid to June of 2026. A quintessential example of la dolce vita, as well as a candidate for grand tours, this 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider is listed here on Car & Classic in La Fouillade, France, with the auction closing September 14, 2025, at 1:50 p.m. EDT.

1994 RUF BTR4 3.8

Starting out as an aftermarket tuner for Porsches, in 1981 RUF took the next step and attained manufacturer status from the TÜV, Germany’s equivalent of the Department of Motor Vehicles, and therefore their own VIN designation. The first RUF to bear the RUF ‘W09’ chassis number designation was the BTR of 1983, adding even more performance on top of Porsche’s iconic 930-generation 911 Turbo. Ten years later, BTR production transitioned to the 964 generation. RUF purchased 964 body shells in white from Porsche and built bespoke versions of the BTR 3.8 to order. The BTR engine was based on the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 was bored out to 3.8-liters, with the addition of Motronic fuel injection. This brought about a power output of 415 hp, bringing top speed to over 200 mph, as tested by Road & Track in January 1995. Aside from the engine, RUF-specific components include a RUF designed six-speed manual transmission, RUF designed suspension including new RUF/Speedline 18-inch wheels. The BTR4 brought four-wheel driver performance to RUF. Only nine 964-generation BTR4s were produced in total. A letter of authenticity on file from RUF confirms this 1994 example was built to RUF BTR4 3.8 specifications in left-hand drive. The car was finished in Polar Silver with a black leather interior. Numerous RUF options were fitted to the car, including a RUF six-speed gearbox with short shifter, 77-liter fuel tank, RUF leather steering wheel, RUF gauges with gear signal and onboard computer, the BTR-specific brake kit, a RUF-specific Bilstein suspension with RUF front strut bar, RUF front wing, and RUF exhaust. Interestingly, the car was also fitted with ‘Japan Rear Seats,’ allegedly more comfortable than the standard rear seats. The BTR4 was delivered new to Japan via RUF’s Japanese importer at the time, Ishida Engineering, and was first registered there in January 1994. While not much is known of the car’s history in Japan, the Japanese Export Certificate issued in 2019 shows that the car had previously been registered in Yokohama, having been located in Kyoto at the time of export. Prior to import to the US, the car was serviced by RTC Co. Ltd. (formerly Ishida Engineering), Japan’s authorized RUF distributor. This consisted of changing the engine oil, transmission oil, and brake fluid, a fan and cooler belt replacement, brake pad replacement, differential lock cylinder replacement, and re-gassing of the air conditioning system. The car was sent to RStrada, an official RUF service center and representative located in Torrance, CA, where the interior was retrimmed in its present configuration with blue and grey cloth seat upholstery, blue seat belts, and blue door pulls, along with the ‘BTR 3.8’ logo trimmed on the rear parcel shelf behind the rear seats. At the same time, the car also received a full engine-out service while at RStrada. Displaying 32,400 kilometers at the time of cataloguing, sealed bid for this 1994 RUF BTR4 3.8 are being accepted here at RM Sotheby’s until September 25, at 1:00 p.m.


2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The Bugatti Veyron was conceived to be the best of the best, a car without compromise that would showcase the abilities of Volkswagen Group—and its legendary chairman, Ferdinand Piëch. Its sophisticated 64-valve 8-liter W16 powerplant topped 1000 hp (a milestone at the time) and provided a seamless power delivery that still embarrasses established modern hypercar rivals from Maranello, San Cesario Sul Panaro, Angelholm and Sant’Agata. It has regularly been voted one of the greatest cars of all time, Evo describing it as “the biggest game changer we’ve ever experienced.” Just 252 16.4 coupes were built between 2005 and 2011. It was continuously improved throughout its life, with later cars reaping the benefits. 2009 model-year cars received improvements to the cooling system and a software upgrade for the transmission. This Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was built on February 2nd, 2009. It was originally delivered new by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. in Molsheim, France. Finished in the ultra-rare color of Pearl White, and riding on Machiavelli wheels, it’s an understated presentation that perfectly suits the Veyron’s evocative shape. Inside, the cabin features Comfort-specification seats fully upholstered in Black Alcantara with White deviated stitching. The condition throughout is impeccable. It has been maintained only by Bugatti. There is a run of regular servicing up to 27,508 kilometers. Subsequently, the car received a 110-point inspection by Bugatti in October 2024. It has covered less than 150 kilometers since. Just in time to mark its 20th Anniversary with a special run from the Swiss Alps to the Molsheim works, this 2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is being offered here on Car & Classic (with an always entertaining review by Chris Harris) by a dealer in the Netherlands.

1996 Porsche 911 RUF Turbo R Conversion

RUF Automobile GmbH has always paired incredible engineering with demanding build standards. Whether offering its a-la-carte modification regimen or hand-crafting astonishing sports cars from bodies-in-white (with unique W09 serial numbers), RUF was and remains unrivaled in the marketplace. Introduced by RUF in 1998, the Turbo R filled the hole in the company’s lineup after they discontinued their CTR2 supercar. Like its predecessor, the Turbo R is based on the Turbo version of the 993-generation Porsche 911. A RUF-developed variant of Porsche’s 3.6-liter, M64/60 flat-six-cylinder engine received a larger pair of twin turbochargers, more aggressive camshafts, a custom ECU, and freer-breathing exhaust to develop 520 hp. Approximately 15 W09-Serial Numbered Turbo Rs Built by RUF and are now commanding multiples of millions. Far more approachable—and enjoyable—are those converted by RUF. Originally ordered in the late 90s by its original owner, a top RUF customer, this 1996 Porsche 911 widebody was converted to RUF Turbo R spec on the same assembly line as the W09s.

1978 Fiat 131 Abarth Stradale

After achieving enormous rally success with the 124, Fiat decided to build the next competition cars based on the 131 saloon, hoping that the competition victories would lead to good sales results for the production cars. The Centro Stile Bertone was tasked with redesigning the bodywork using aluminum, fiberglass, and resin to create a lightweight two-door saloon similar to the 131 Mirafiori. Engine development was entrusted to Abarth, Fiat’s engine tuning experts, who created an improved version of the legendary Lampredi twin-cam, with a 16-valve alloy head, 48mm Weber carburetors, and a lightened and balanced crankshaft. The Fiat 131 Abarth would go onto dominate the World Rally Championships for four years, winning three manufacturers’ titles (1977, 1978 and 1980). It was driven by some of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport, including Markku Alén, Walter Röhrl and Michèle Mouton. But before it could go racing, the FIA ​​required a production run of at least 400 units, thus Fiat built precisely 400 homologated “Stradale” cars. This 1978 Fiat 131 Abarth Stradale presents as one of the most original and authentic still in existence. It stands out for its high level of originality. Having never been driven in competition, it retains many original factory features that are normally lost over the years or due to competition use, including Vitaloni Californian mirrors, white front indicators (orange bulbs have been installed to comply with road traffic regulations), vinyl mud flaps on the rear wheel arches, all-original (not reproduction badges, and original wiper arms (Abarth specific and a rare find). It is registered with the Automotoclub Storico Italiano (ASI) with a gold plate, attesting to its total originality. This 131 Abarth has had only four owners since new (with long-term second and third owners) and has a well-documented history. The current owner reports that many original features are still present, including the windows, badges, mudguards, and headlight lenses. The paintwork is original in the engine compartment, trunk, inside the sills, and on the A and B pillars. The exterior of the car has been repainted once, which is practically inevitable on Abarths as fiberglass tends to crack over time. The interior remains entirely original with no modifications, including the original seat covers, steering wheel, and gear knob. A light, uniform patina is consistent with its originality. Power comes from a matching-numbers Abarth-developed 2-liter DOHC 16V Lampredi engine, coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox and self-locking differential. It’s fitted with an original Abarth kit including intake manifold and Weber 48 carburetors (original carburetor and air filter box included in the sale). The car rides on original Abarth magnesium wheels with original hubcaps dressed in vintage Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires (to be replaced), along with its original (reconditioned) springs and shock absorbers. It has received only a few minor modifications, such as the installation of an electric fuel pump and plates welded onto the top of the turrets to mount reinforcement bars (the previous owner was a manufacturer of racing car parts). This Fiat is said to run smoothly and fantastic to drive. Showing 60,982 kilometers at the time of cataloguing, the seller recommends new tires and routine maintenance, but otherwise assures us that the car is ready to go. Two (mostly) original keys, the original owner’s manual and Fiat Service Europa booklet accompany the sale of this 1978 Fiat 131 Abarth Stradale, here at les Anciennes in Italy, with the auction closing September 11, 2025 at 1:05 p.m. EDT.


1987 Alpina B7 Turbo Coupe/1 Katalysator

First launched in 1978, the B7 Turbo Coupe/1 was Alpina’s first full conversion for the BMW 6 Series platform. It featured a 300-hp turbocharged variant of BMW’s inline six-cylinder engine sourced from the E24 630 CS. Additional improvements included an upgraded Bilstein suspension, ventilated brake discs, a body kit, and signature Alpina multi-spoke wheels. While Alpina built 130 B7 Turbo Coupes, just 20 of those were equipped with catalytic converters and designated the B7 Turbo Coupe/1 Katalysator. This 1987 Alpina B7 Turbo Coupe/1 Katalysator was originally ordered by a prominent tax attorney from Zurich, Switzerland on April 3, 1987 via Max Heidegger AG, Alpina’s sole distributor to Liechtenstein and Switzerland. It was completely converted three weeks later. Shortly thereafter, it was shipped by Alpina to Heidegger’s premises in Triesen, Liechtenstein. The car also spent time in the United States and Kuwait, before returning to Winter Garden, Florida following RM Sotheby’s Miami sale in December of 2022. It came finished in Diamond Black Metallic and wearing Alpina graphics and trim. Additional details include quad headlights with integrated fog lights, a sunroof, body-colored side mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. It rides on 17″ 20-spoke Alpina alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires bearing 2017 date codes. Originally spec’d in Beige Pearl leather, at some point early in its Swiss residency, the cabin was retrimmed in its present Lipstick Red leather “Exklusiv Interieur” package by Autosattlerei Wenger. It features multi-contour power-adjustable Recaro front seats, a contoured rear bench, and matching red door panels and carpeting. Amenities include air conditioning, a sliding steel sunroof, power windows, and burl wood trim integrated into the dashboard and center console. A Sony CDX-J10 head unit with a trunk-mounted CD changer has been installed, and an onboard computer is fitted in the lower center stack. The leather-wrapped Alpina steering wheel fronts Alpina-specific instrumentation, while a plaque on the center console identifies this example as B7 Turbo Coupé № 0113. All gauges and electronics are reported to be in proper working order. While the Katalysator models produced 10 hp less than their non-cat counterparts (324 hp), the exclusive 3.5-liter straight six-cylinder configuration offers a different driving experience entirely by generating more torque at lower engine speeds: 383 pound-feet at 2,400 rpm as opposed to 377 pound-feet at 3,000 rpm. Furthermore, this model’s engine boasts a slightly lower compression ratio of 7.45:1 instead of 8.0:1. While normally slightly less power would make a model less desirable, these are very highly sought after in Alpina circles due to their rarity and lower-end grunt, making for more tractable performance. The rear wheels are driven through a close-ratio Getrag 265/5 dogleg 5-speed manual transmission and a 25-percent locking differential. Additional Alpina upgrades include a Bilstein-based suspension system with progressive springs and gas-pressure dampers, as well as ventilated disc brakes at all four corners. Showing 39,801 kilometers (24,731 miles) at the time of listing, recent maintenance under current ownership includes valve adjustments, spark plug replacement, oil service, a new fuel filter, fuel pump replacement, fuel tank cleaning, and an A/C recharge. Entries in its accompanying service booklet testify to a life well-lived, full of regular maintenance appointments and consistent enjoyment through April 1992. The owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, a battery charger, a sales brochure, and a clean title are also included in the sale of this 1987 Alpina B7 Turbo Coupe/1 Katalysator, listed on PCARMARKET with five days left to bid.

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 into the enlarged engine lid. Such continual refinement resulted in Car and Driver magazine calling the 356 B “… not so much a ‘car’ as a sealed ‘machine for traveling.’” This 1963 Porsche 356 B is being sold publicly for the first time since new. It was purchased by its current owner in 1965, remaining in Southern California throughout its entire life. As a result has had zero rust or rust repair, with an excellent floor pan and rocker panels. In 2013, the car underwent an extensive restoration, including bare metal paintwork and the restoration and/or polishing of all brightwork. The interior and weather stripping are all new; the original, numbers-matching engine was overhauled, and much more. A documented history of the restoration work with nearly $60,000 in receipts accompanies the sale, along with additional receipts, a Porsche Production Specifications Certificate, and restoration photos. The seller classifies the car as being in strong driver-grade condition: neither trailer queen nor highly detailed 100-point show car, rather a fine cosmetic and mechanical restoration with excellent paintwork. This 1963 Porsche 356 B can be found here on Craigslist in Monrovia, California at an asking price of $89,500


2013 BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition

In the autumn of 2007, BMW M launched the fourth-generation BMW M3 E92 sports coupé. By then, over 20 years had passed since the first BMW M3 took to the road. As with the original E30 M3, it was based on the dimensions and basic shape of the BMW 3 Series coupé, but its distinctly flared wings were the first indication that this was an M car. In fact, numerous elements of the body were completely redesigned and redeveloped. Apart from the chassis, only the doors, boot lid, windows and front and rear lights were taken from the BMW 3 Series Coupé. In order to further optimize its center of gravity, the M3 E92 was equipped with a carbon fiber roof as standard for the first time—a high-strength and particularly lightweight component that was previously reserved for the special BMW M3 CSL (E46) model. Another visual queue is the particularly pronounced power dome on its bonnet. As well as giving the car a muscular appearance, its striking shape has a tangible purpose: to accommodate the howling S65B40 V8 engine. The pinnacle of the E92 M3 came with the Lime Rock Park Edition, commemorating the end of the naturally aspirated V8 era for the M3. It featured distinctive Fire Orange paint, a carbon fiber aero package, unique interior appointments, and upgrades from the already potent Competition Package, such as a 10mm lower suspension and retuned stability control. This 2013 BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition comes from a single owner and, despite undeniable credentials as the Ultimate Driving Machine, has clocked a mere 81 miles since new. It came equipped from the factory with the Competition Package (staggered 19″ Style 359M wheels, suspension lowered by 10mm, re-tuned Dynamic Stability Control system, Electronic Damper Control with Sport mode), the Cold Weather Package (heated front seats, retractable headlight washers, and more), the Premium Package (power-folding auto mirrors, power rear sunshade, power-adjustable front seats, rear-view mirror compass, Park Distance Control, navigation system with RTTI, and more), Novillo leather upholstery, an Alcantara-upholstered flat-bottom steering wheel, and Carbon leather interior trim. Power comes from a 4.0-liter V8, rated at 414 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The battery and left airbag assembly were recently replaced. Two keys, the owner’s manuals, window sticker, and a license plate bracket are included in the sale of this 2013 BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition, here on Cars & Bids with four days remaining in the auction.


2011 Ferrari 458 Italia

Ask any number of automotive journalists which Ferrari they would want to live with on a daily basis and the answer is typically the 458. With its blend of Formula 1-derived technology, breathtaking design by Pininfarina, and visceral driving dynamics, it was also the last naturally aspirated mid-engine V8 Ferrari. Featuring a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, an electronically controlled E-Diff differential, carbon ceramic brakes, and SCM2 adaptive suspension, it was a significant leap over its predecessors that began with the iconic 308 GTS. This 2013 Ferrari 458 Italia is finished in highly desirable Blu Tour de France and equipped with 20″ five-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, adaptive xenon headlights, LED taillights, carbon-ceramic brakes with yellow-finished calipers, and a rear diffuser with triple exhaust outlets. Magnetorheological dampers provide adaptive ride control, while the roof is wrapped in black vinyl and clear paint protection film has been applied to the front end and mirror caps. The cabin features Daytona-style power-adjustable seats in beige leather, complemented by aluminum pedals, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a multifunction steering wheel with integrated shift lights and manettino drive-mode selector. Sticky interior buttons were refinished in 2021 to maintain a fresh appearance. Power comes from 4.5-liter DOHC V8 producing 562 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. Showing 11,200 miles, this 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia has been maintained with care, including a most recent service in August 2025 consisting of an oil service, brake fluid flush, and inspection. The sale includes the owner’s manual, service records, two keys, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean title. It’s being offered here on SOMO by a dealer in New Orleans, with the auction closing September 17, 5:00 p.m. EDT

1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

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.” This 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo was initially delivered at Colonial Motor Sales in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, finished in classic Guards Red with optional protective bodyside moldings and an electric sunroof. It rides on 16″ “Phone Dial” wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires. The Black interior is appointed with power windows, electrically adjustable seats, a digital clock, air conditioning, and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo. Options include partial leather front seats, a heated driver’s seat, a central locking system, and cruise control. This example was further optioned with Sport Shock Absorbers. Showing a remarkable 2,513 miles at the time of listing, the seller notes that the timing belt was replaced in April 2024. With the owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, an air pump, a car cover, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo is listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in Fairfield, Connecticut with five days left to bid.


2004 Toyota Tacoma SR5 XtraCab 4×4

A 25 for 25 for under 25 pick, the Toyota Tacoma was introduced in mid-1995 as the successor to the highly popular Hilux (or simply “Pickup” in the US), the first-generation Tacoma appeared evolutionary, but in fact was almost entirely new with an emphasis on improving ride quality, handling, comfort, and safety. Designed at Calty Design Research (Toyota’s studio in California), the aesthetic is a rugged interpretation of the rounded ’90s design language. It underwent some subtle facelifts to both front and rear that remain surprisingly fresh today, particularly in its final guise from 2001 to 2004, before the more angular second generation followed. This 2004 Toyota Tacoma XtraCab 4×4 comes from long-term Texas ownership. It is finished in Black Sand Pearl and equipped with a desirable 5-speed manual gearbox, SR5 Colr-keyed Package (color-keyed bumpers, grille surround, and door handles, air conditioning, dual fabric sunvisors with mirror and visor extensions, orange-illuminated white-faced gauges, digital clock, tilt steering wheel, variable intermittent wipers, AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo with six speakers), TRD Off-Raod Package (off-road tuned suspension with Bilstein dampers, 16-inch alloy wheels, locking rear differential, fender flares, TRD graphics), and Power Package (power windows, power side mirrors, power door locks, keyless entry), along with a sliding rear window. Modifications are limited to aftermarket cruise control and a K&N engine air filter. Power comes from a 5VZ-FE 3.4-liter V6, rated at 190 hp and 220 lb-ft of torque. Showing 66,820 miles, recent service records show replacement of the timing belt, water pump, camshaft seals, crank seal, and serpentine belt, as well as a coolant flush. Its history also shows routine engine oil and filter changes. A seller-kept service spreadsheet is included in the sale, along with two keys, the owner’s manual, and original window sticker. This 2004 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Xtracab 4×4 is listed here on Cars & Bids by a private party in Newark, California with the auction closing September 9, at 2:00 p.m. EDT.


1982 Volkswagen Golf GTI

When Porsche introduced the water-cooled, front-engine/rear-drive “transaxle” 924 in 1976, it was following in the footsteps of its development partner, Volkswagen, who introduced the Golf in 1974. Seeing the same writing on the wall that Porsche faced in light of more restrictive emissions standards, Volkswagen also needed a replacement for its air-cooled, rear-engine/rear-drive Beetle. The Giugiaro-designed Golf Mk 1 (sold as the Rabbit in the US a year later) became the standard by which all other two-box economy cars were judged (and continues to be today). Seeing the interest is performance versions of these cars from the likes of Autobianchi, Simca, and of course, Mini, Volkswagen introduced a performance version of the Golf in 1976. It would go on to become the standard by which all other “hot hatches” were judged (and continues to be today). This 1982 Volkswagen Golf Mk 1 GTI is a desirable single-headlamp car (sans the driving lights in the grille), adding to its understated sleeper mien, albeit that is tempered by the especially hot Mars Red [LA3A] finish that has been exceptionally well preserved and remains glossy. Plastics, badging and bumpers present impressively. The car rides on OEM 5 ½ J alloy wheels fitted with Yokohama tires. The well-kept cabin shows minimal wear to the period-correct upholstery, though some marks are visible to the rear of the headlining. The dashboard, instruments and controls all look to be in good shape with no known issues. Power comes from a 1.6-liter fuel-injected four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. The engine reportedly starts easily, revs freely, and ticks over smoothly. The car is said to drive very well with a Spanish ITV inspection valid through 2026. Find this 1982 Volkswagen Golf GTI here on Car & Classic out of Barcelona. Bidding ends Sptember 10, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

1993 Porsche 928 GTS

If you’ve been following the Stuttgart Market Letter (and you should), you‘ve undoubtedly observed that 2025 may turn out to be “The Year of the Shark,” a nickname given to the Porsche 928 for its aggressive, sleek mien. Though initially intended as the 911’s replacement, the thinking behind the Porsche 928 was a larger, more touring biased performance car. Its front mounted V8, combined with the widely available automatic gearbox aimed to reach a broader market, particularly in the US. It was updated over its 18-year lifespan, finally evolving into a true enthusiast’s motorcar—in other words, a Porsche. Now powered by a 32-valve four-cam 5.4-liter V8 producing 350 hp, the 928 GTS, introduced in 1992, could propel the 3,600-lb car to 60 in 5.3 seconds, roughly matching the contemporary 911 Carrera (964 generation). The GTS took on some of the more iconic styling queues from the 911 as well, such as flared rear fenders, 17″ Cup-style wheels, Cup mirrors, and a red reflective “heckblende” between the taillamps. This North American-spec Porsche 928 GTS is one of only 88 built in 1993 for the 1993 model year. It came factory finished in Black [L700] and equipped with a desirable 5-speed manual gearbox, as well as a rear wiper, a color-matched rear spoiler, and badging delete, along with force-sensitive power steering, factory sport suspension, and vented full disc brakes. The cabin features Black [UN] Draped Leather seating with Porsche Crests embossed in front seat headrests, and is appointed with power windows, locks and seats, a power sunroof, dual air bags, air conditioning with optional rear air, a Becker Porsche CR-1 stereo system with CD changer, and a factory alarm system. Body and paint are said to be in excellent condition, and the interior appears free of significant wear, including the common cracks and warpage seen in many 928 dashboards. Showing 114,500 miles at the time of listing, the motor is reportedly strong, however blue smoke is noted under heavy acceleration. Gearbox shifts “like butter.” Brake rotors and pads have ample life remaining. Two packed 3-ring binders of receipts dating back to 1993 are a testament to meticulous lifetime maintenance. With two keys, owners manual and factory tools, this 1993 Porsche 928 GTS is now being sold here on The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) by its owner out of Cape May, New Jersey at an asking price of $78,500.


1979 Guanci SJJ

After founding Guanci Automobiles in Woodstock, Illinois in 1977, Chicago industrialist John Guanci created the Guanci SJJ mid-engine sports car, which featured a steel and aluminum monocoque chassis designed by Can-Am race car designer Bob McKee and a fiberglass body styled by Chrysler designer Mike Williams, with input from Alejandro de Tomaso. Its unique styling queues include quad pop-up headlights, integrated fog lamps, fender flares, scalloped side air intakes, a mast radio antenna, flying buttress B-to-C pillars with mesh grilles, and a louvered engine cover. Power for the SJJ (initials of Guanci family members) came from Chevrolet’s 270-hp L82 V8, breathing through dual exhaust outlets, giving the car impressive performance credentials for its era. Unveiled at the 1979 Chicago Auto Show, the sleek Guanci SJJ garnered significant attention, but financial difficulties hindered production, and the project was ultimately shelved. Only three SJJ prototypes were built, two for the ’79 Auto Show and a final one in 1982. This 1979 Guanci SJJ-1 is finished in Blue accented by Black bodyside graphics. It sits on 15″ five-spoke American Racing wheels dressed in Goodyear Wingfoot radial tires measuring 245/60. The cabin is appointed with Black leather Recaro seats, Black leather and suede door panels, a four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel in front of a VDO analog gauge set, a console plate reading “SJJ1 NR. 0001 Specially Constructed for Mr. Frank Thurner,” № 1 OF 2 door sill plates, a Cobra cassette deck stereo, and air conditioning. Displaying 4,154 miles at the time of cataloguing, this 1979 Guanci SSJ-1 comes from a collection in the Netherlands and is being offered here on SBX cars, with the auction closing September 5, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. EDT.


1992 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE

The Mercedes-Benz W140 is often cited as the most solidly engineered and built of all S-Class generations. It combined luxurious appointments with the peace-of-mind of its tanklike construction. It is perhaps less known for its driver engagement. Yet the W140 was offered with a standard dogleg 5-speed manual gearbox when coupled with a peppy 228-hp 3.2-liter M104 inline-6 (V8s and diesel were automatic only). While it would be hard to find anyone that would call this an ultimate driving machine, it did give the less Autobahn-, more B-road-focused buyers of the Mercedes-Benz flagship a different level of interactivity with their cars. In North America, dealers had a hard enough time selling the 6-pot S-Class and no manuals were offered here. It would in fact exit the product line altogether in 1996, making the W140 the last S-Class to offer a manual gearbox. This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE (short wheelbase) was imported to the United States from Spain in 2022. The car has since been registered and titled in the United States and now resides in Las Vegas. It comes finished in Almandine Red Metallic [587] and is accented with paint-matched lower cladding on all four doors and the front and rear bumpers. The dealer reports that both sides of the car appear to have been painted previously and the hood shows some light paint imperfections by way of light scratches. Notable features include heat-insulating glass, amber-colored marker lights, Euro-market glass headlamps, and a power antenna. he original Beige Leather [265] trimmed cabin features optional Burled Walnut Root trim on the doors, center console, and dash panel. Notable interior features include manually adjustable front seats with vacuum actuated lumbar, dual-zone automatic climate control, an adjustable steering column, power windows, and rear passenger vanity mirrors. The original Becker head unit has been replaced with an aftermarket Kenwood head unit featuring Bluetooth, auxiliary, and USB functions. The Beige leather, wood, and carpets present with minimal wear. Showing 104,164 miles at the time of listing, an oil change was performed in April of 2024 and again in 2025. Additionally the shifter bushings were replaced along with a fuel pump, fuel filter, and spark plugs in 2022. This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE is offered with recent service records, technical inspection stamps, two keys, and a clean Montana title in the owner’s name. It’s listed on The MB Market with the auction ending September 4, 2025 at 4:50 p.m. EDT.

1986 Buick Regal T-Type

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). The trickle down is felt in the Grand National as well, holding steady at around $50,000. Overlooked is the original: the Sport Coupe and Turbo-T, offering close to the same power as the GN in a bit more sleeper package. There’s a lot to appreciate about that.


1994 Mercedes-Benz E 36 AMG Coupe

Nothing perks the ears of a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast like the mention of “pre-merger AMG.” When combined with the overengineered build quality of the W124, E-Class, it has produced some of the most desirable—and valuable—jewels in automotive history Like its Sedan, Cabriolet and Touring (wagon) siblings, the Mercedes-Benz W124 Coupe (C124) comes from the era when Mercedes-Benz earned the right to call itself das beste oder nichts, the best or nothing. The C124 added the sleek styling of a rakish pillarless 2-door. This 1994 Mercedes-Benz E 36 AMG began life as a European-market E 320 Coupe, before it was sent to Affalterbach, reportedly one of only 75 coupes built, 44 of which were left-hand-drive. Finished in sinister Black [040], it sits on 17″ three-piece AMG wheels and comes equipped with an AMG-specific body kit and an electric sliding/tilting sunroof. Some chips, scratches, and paint flaws are noted around the exterior, along with some weathered exterior trim and a cracked front bumper. The Black interior features leather upholstery, wood interior trim, power-adjustable front seats, and automatic climate control. An aftermarket Blaupunkt Frankfurt digital audio unit replaces the factory AM/FM/Cassette (included in the sale). The upholstery and interior touch points show some wear consistent with age and mileage. Power comes from a 3.6-liter straight-6, rated at 272 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission. Displaying 142,813 kilometers (88,740 miles) at the time of listing, its service history includes replacement of expansion tank, serpentine belt, and belt tensioner, air conditioning compressor, valve, and sealing rings replaced, an air conditioning refrigerant recharge, routine engine oil and filter changes, engine air filter, spark plugs, wiring loom, four tires, turn signal lenses, center console, trunk grommets, and handbrake pedal rubber replacement, driver’s electric headrest repair, cleaning and painting of brake calipers, and cleaning of the undercarriage.

1990 Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer DLS EP1

Singer Vehicle Design, located in Torrance, California, started from humble beginnings with its first restoration presented at Monterey, California’s annual Car Week. The 911-based Classic Study “recommission” quickly sparked a frenzy of orders that spanned over the course of 13 years, with lead times often in the multiple of years to get a customized example. Singer’s second act began with the now legendary Dynamics and Lightweighting Study, or ‘DLS.’ Through the efforts of Norbert Singer, Hanz Mezger, and Williams Advanced Engineering, the DLS took the Classic Study commissions even further with a 4-liter engine fitted with four-valve heads, while each pot was kept fed by two injectors per cylinder. The valves were made of titanium and filled with sodium, the lightweight fan and its surround were formed from magnesium, and the exhaust was created from a combination of titanium and Inconel, a nickel-chromium-based superalloy known for its exceptional strength and resistance to high temperatures. In an effort to ensure every ounce of the 500 hp generated by that jewel of an engine goes to the rear wheels and nowhere else, the air-conditioning and hydraulic power steering are powered by a lithium-ion battery mounted under the bonnet. Even the alternator only charges the battery when the engine has spare capacity. The manual six-speed gearbox was specially positioned to allow the flat-6 to be mounted further forward in the chassis, aiding weight distribution. Its 964 chassis is formed entirely from carbon fiber, shaving kilograms from the final curb weight. From there, it was further refined using computational fluid dynamics—the sort of technology employed to create the wild aero packages of modern Formula One cars—to hone and refine the model’s aerodynamic efficiency. A front splitter directs air flow through the cooling system, while to optimize the performance of the iconic ducktail spoiler, an additional stepped wing at the top of the roof ensures air clings to the back of the car. The result is even more downward pressure on the carbon fiber ducktail, helped by a small Gurney flap on its leading edge, and as a result the driven rear wheels. DLS services made their global debut at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed. This example—named EP1, finished in Parallax White with Ghosted Light stripes and Norfolk Yellow lettering —spent the weekend sitting on a podium on the company’s stand and proved a magnet for the world’s press. The polished aluminum brightwork attracted social media influencers like magpies, while both oil and fuel fillers were external. Even the 18″ monoblock center-lock wheels were a work of art, forged from Magnesium, shod in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and hiding bespoke Brembo CCMR carbon-ceramic disc brakes and monoblock brake callipers. The interior was equally special with lightweight carbon fiber bucket seats trimmed in Norfolk Yellow leather, secondary trim in exposed, satin carbon fiber, and a sublime exposed gear linkage with a gear knob made from carbon fiber and maple. If ever a car came close to ‘breaking the internet,’ this was it. After its initial restoration and presentation at Goodwood in 2018, EP1 was meticulously refreshed by Singer in 2023. Recently serviced by Singer at their UK facility earlier this year, the car will be offered with a twelve-month warranty to its new owner, alongside a Track 1 – DLS Edition watch color matched to EP1, and luggage trimmed to match the car’s sensational color scheme. Finally, the car is offered with two sets of lightweight magnesium wheels, one in a polished finish and another in Norfolk Yellow, providing further choice to its next owner. Sealed bids for this revolutionary 1990 Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer DLS EP1 are now being accepted at RM Sotheby’s Sealed until September 4, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.


2000 Ferrari 360 Modena

Continuing the tradition of the mid-engine V8 “entry level” Ferrari, the 360 Modena broke with tradition in the form of an entirely new all-aluminum space-frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the F355 it replaced, while 28% lighter despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions. Along with a lightweight frame the new Pininfarina body styling deviated from the previous decade’s sharp angles and flip-up headlights. A new 400-hp 3.6 liter V8 engine also provided a notable improvement in the power-to-weight ratio, resulting in a 3.9 second 0 – 60 time and a 8:02 lap around the Nürburgring (vs 4.5 and 8:13 for the F355). Furthermore—and perhaps most significantly to owners—the 360 Modena was the first mid-engine Ferrari that did not require an engine-out for routine belt changes, a milestone for usability and maintenance. This 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena (№ 122099) comes finished in traditional Rosso Corsa [PPG 322] and equipped with a desirable factory 6-speed gated manual gearbox (not a conversion). Additional equipment includes F430 alloy wheels, a Challenge Grille, a limited-slip differential, and Xenon headlights.

2005 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG T-Modell

Like its predecessors, the 300 SEL 6.3 and 450 SEL 6.9, when the Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG was introduced in 2002, it was crowned the world’s fastest sedan. Two years later, a Touring (T-Modell), or wagon, joined the lineup. Like its sedan sibling, the wagon had subtle design differences from the much more prevalent non-AMG versions, including a front bumper with the now-familiar A-shaped intakes, modified side skirts, and quad exhaust tips under the more profiled rear bumper. Because the suspension setup was also different, the model also had wider front and rear tracks, sitting on AMG-specific 18″ split-spoke wheels with 245/40/18 tires up front and 265/35/18 in the rear. The interior was swathed in leather and trimmed in aluminum and wood, much like the sedan but with a cavernous 24.4 cu. ft. cargo area. Safety features included an early version of the Pre-Safe system, adaptive cruise control with automatic braking, electronic stability control, and multiple airbags. An AMG-tuned Airmatic suspension featured various driving modes, while stopping power came SL 55 AMG’s 14.2″ (360 mm) ventilated brake discs with eight-piston calipers at the front and 13″ (330 mm) with four-piston calipers at the rear. Its real beauty lay under the bonnet with the hand-built supercharged 5.4-liter V8, which increased its total output to 469 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. This 2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Wagon is a Canadian-market example eligible for import into the U.S. without restriction. It comes finished in Black [040] with the AMG Styling Package, a glass sunroof, headlight washers, and an automatic tailgate. The seller notes some minor paint fading and light curb rash on a couple of the wheels, while the hood was previously refinished due to stone chips. In 2012, the Carfax notes a police report accident, but no further details or insurance claims are associated. the cabin is upholstered in Black leather [251A] with black birdseye maple trim and an Alcantara headliner. Amenities include heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats with memory, four-zone automatic climate control, and COMAND infotainment with navigation. An updated head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration has been fitted in place of the original system. The seller, a professional mechanic, performed a full service after purchasing the car, including replacement of engine, transmission, and differential oils, brake fluid, spark plugs, and filters. Showing 79,344 kilometers (49,302 miles) at the time of listing, this 2005 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG T-Modell is reported to run without mechanical issues or leaks and remains unmodified apart from the updated infotainment system. It can be found here on Carbuckle in Laval, Quebec with 12 days left to bid.

2011 Porsche 911 Speedster

While the Porsche 356 was designed to be the people’s sports car in much the same way that Ferdinand Porsche had designed the Type 1 to be wagen of the volks, there was a market—namely in the victory-minded culture of post-War America (and specifically Southern California)—who were looking for a little more sport from their sports car. Enter the 356 America Roadster. As its name would suggest, it was developed exclusively for the American market. Its hand-built aluminum body contributed to its not insignificant 160-kilogram (~350-lb) advantage to the 750-kilogram (1,650-lb) 356 Coupé. That resulted in a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph) from its 70-hp boxer engine, impressive at the time for a four-cylinder engine. It was the US importer Max Hoffmann who convinced Porsche there was a market for their cars in America. He requested an inexpensive Porsche with reduced furnishings costing less than $3,000. In autumn 1954, Porsche produced a significantly less expensive version than the 356 America Roadster, which included ‘Speedster’ in the model name for the first time and quickly caused a sensation in the world of motor sports. It combined the sheet steel body of the cabriolet with a raked windscreen, reduced interior equipment and a rain top. In the USA, the 356 1500 Speedster cost just 2,995 US dollars and became an instant hit in the sunny coastal states. Production of the 356 Speedster ended in 1958 when it evolved into a somewhat more accommodating Roadster to suit changing tastes. In 1988, the Speedster designation was resurrected as a farewell to the long-standing G-modell. Distinguished by its double-bubble tonneau, the “chopped” and raked windscreen, rain top, and sparse interior recalled the spirit of the 356. It would be another 13 years before the Speedster returned, this time to mark the 25th Anniversary of Porsche Exclusive (previosuly Sonderwunsch). This 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster is № 196 of 356 made and one of only 90 997-generation Speedsters delivered to the US. It came finished in rare Carrara White (as opposed to the more “common” Pure Blue) and equipped with a Black convertible soft top with heated glass rear window, 19″ 911 Sport Classic wheels with black spokes, polished lips, and colored Porsche crest center caps, Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 235/35 front and 305/30 rear with 2017 and 2018 date codes, Bi-Xenon headlamps, 25 YEARS PORSCHE EXCLUSIVE fender badging, black stone guards, a speed-activated rear spoiler, LED taillamps; black Speedster badging, and dual exhaust outlets. Complete high-gloss PPF paint protection has been added. The interior features Black and Carrara White leather with checkered accents and white stitching throughout, heated and power-adjustable seats with Speedster logo embroidery, a three-spoke steering wheel with white 12 o’clock marker and shift paddles, Sport Chrono Package Plus, commemorative door sill plates and dash plaque, PCM with navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, a Bose® audio system with CD player, automatic climate control, and memory settings. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-6 rated at 408 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque mated to a 7-speed PDK transaxle. The car is also equipped with PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), cross-drilled carbon-ceramic brake rotors, and Yellow-finished brake calipers with black PORSCHE branding. A two-owner example having covered 2,048 miles since new, its most recent service was completed shortly before the second owner’s purchase in 2018 with 920 miles. Two keys, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the factory books, a comprehensive VIN decoding sheet, and a Porsche trickle charger accompany the sale of this 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster, listed here on SBX Cars by a private seller in Ft. Lauderdale with the auction closing September 8, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.


1995 Alfa Romeo 155 Q4

The Alfa Romeo 155 (Type 167) was developed to replace the 75. It was designed by Italian design house I.DE.A Institute. Somewhat larger in dimension than the 75, it achieved an exceptional drag coefficient of 0.29. It was unveiled in January 1992 at Barcelona, with the first public launch in March 1992, at the Geneva Motor Show. The most significant technical change from the 75 was the switch to a front-wheel drive layout. A four-wheel-drive model called the 155 Q4 was also available, which had a 2.0-litrer turbocharged engine and a permanent four-wheel drive powertrain, both derived from the Lancia Delta Integrale; it was essentially a Lancia Delta Integrale with an executive car body. Capable of a 140 mph top speed and 0-100 kph in around 7 seconds, it’s little wonder that the 155 had racing success. Like the Lancia Delta Integrale the Q4 also incorporated three differentials (normal at the front, epicyclic at the center, and Torsen self-locking at the rear). In 1995, the 155 was given an extensive revamp noted as the Series 2, resulting in wider front and rear tracks with subtle enlargement to the wheel arches to accommodate the changes underneath. This 1995 Alfa Romeo 155 Q4 Series 2 is one of only 110 cars built before the model was discontinued. It was discovered in a Japanese collection and imported to the US by the selling dealer. Said to be well-kept, it has benefited from a recent professional restoration. The car was refinished in Rosso Proteo (Burgundy Metallic). The restoration also included exterior trim and rubber bits as required. The interior appears to be in very clean condition and features factory Recaro seats and full instrumentation. It has an aftermarket Alcantara racing wheel, though the original is also included with the car. Showing around 42,000 miles at the time of listing, the selling dealer has just given it a full service, including all belts and a tune-up. The car is fitted with new coil-overs (original shocks included) and the chassis rolls on Lancia Delta Integrale rims fitted with new tires. The original rims are available as well. This 1995 Alfa Romeo 155 Q4 is being offered here at EuroClassix in San Mateo, California at a price on inquiry.


2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series

In the ongoing battle between BMW and Mercedes-Benz that began in the mid ’80s on the DTM circuit and spilled out into showrooms by way of homologation, the former’s M3 and the latter’s CLK had both turned to normally aspirated V8 power to assert dominance. BMW stuffed the M5’s 414-hp 4.0-liter V8 under the M3’s bulging aluminum hood, while Mercedes-Benz went for the mic drop by unleashing the full dominion of one of the world’s great, vanquished, naturally aspirated motors: an AMG-tuned 6.2-liter M156 V8 (badged 6.3 to honor the 300 SEL 6.3 sold between 1968 and 1972, the fastest sedan in the world at the time) producing a contemporarily outrageous 500 hp and 478 lb-ft of torque. Taking its queues from the F1 Safety Car of its day, the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series also looked the part with exaggerated fender flares that housed the oversized, 19″ forged multi-spoke alloy AMG wheels and carbon fiber cooling vents affixed to the leading edge of the front fenders, along with a carbon fiber rear diffuser and carbon fiber rear spoiler. AMG adjustable coilover suspension, as well as a front and rear strut tower brace firm up the handling of the nearly two-ton car. This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series is reportedly one of 350 originally made for the US market, It touts further exclusivity by being one of only around 40 ordered from the factory in Arctic White, according to the seller in Schaumburg, Illinois. The cabin features a pair of power-adjustable leather AMG bucket seats, with Black Nappa leather upholstery overlaid with carbon fiber/aluminum trim. Amenities include an AM/FM radio with integrated CD player and navigation, a premium Harman/Kardon surround sound audio system, automatic climate control, cruise control, and Keyless-Go. With 9,973 miles displayed on the odometer at the time of cataloguing, a clean CarFax history shows routine maintenance by various Mercedes-Benz dealerships. A Seller’s Disclosure, two key fobs, a window sticker, and various factory literature are included with the sale of this 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series, here on SOMO with the auction ending September 8, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EDT.

1995 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 here at SOMO by a private seller in Belvedere Tiburon, California with the auction closing September 4, 2025 at 3:15 p.m. EDT.


2007 BMW Z4 M Coupe

The enthusiastic response to the rebirth of the nimble and reasonably affordable sports car, sparked by the Mazda MX-5 Miata, sent carmakers to their drawing boards to get a piece of that lucrative pie. By the end of the ’90s, the Germans came into the market with the Porsche Boxster and Audi TT, while BMW brought us the bulbously cute Z3. It was introduced as a roadster, with a fixed-roof coupe joining the lineup a year later. While its shooting-brake design was controversial (nicknamed “clown shoe”), it was hard to find fault with the car’s oldskool sports car handling. The styling was further overshadowed by the introduction of the M model, which benefited even more when the 330-hp S54 engine from the E46 M3—widely considered the pinnacle of that model’s lineage—was put under the Z3 M Coupe’s long bonnet. The clown shoe has always had a cultish following, but its relative rarity (6,291 made between 1998 and 2002) has found favor with a broader audience in recent years, with values following suit. Its successor, the Z4 M Coupe—more scarce with 4,275 made in its two years of production (2007 and 2008)—is poised to reach even greater heights. With its sharper, Italianesque styling, it is perhaps the least controversial designs under Chris Bangle’s direction; downright gorgeous in the eyes of many. The M Coupe is distinguishable from a standard Z4 by its more aggressive front bumper, hood, and rear diffuser, M fender and trunk badges, and dual twin-tipped M-branded exhaust pipes. This 2007 BMW Z4 M Coupe example is one of 1,815 produced for North America, and one of only 212 that were finished in Titanium Silver Metallic. Features include auto-levelling Xenon headlights, headlamp washers, heated power mirrors, and silver 18″ Style 224M alloy wheels with new Continental Extreme Contact Sport mounted in 2024. The seller indicates that the front bumper and passenger-side fender were previously refinished to address cosmetic imperfections, and rock chips are present on the passenger-side mirror housing and front bumper. The cabin features Black Nappa leather upholstery accented by brushed aluminum trim pieces. Accessories include optional heated and power-adjustable M sport seats, a three-spoke M sport multifunction steering wheel, M-branded door sills, an M sport shift knob, M-branded instrumentation, automatic climate control, cruise control, a navigation system, and a hi-fi sound system. Some minor signs of wear are noted on the armrest and behind the driver’s door handle. Featuring Double-VANOS variable valve timing and six individual throttle bodies, the 3.2-liter S54 is coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It shares its quick-ratio hydraulic steering rack and cross-drilled floating brake rotors with the M3 CSL, and its brake calipers with the M3 Competition, its rear subframe with the M3, and its forged aluminum lower control arms with the E46 Performance Package (ZHP). Showing 46,289 miles at the time of listing, all service records will be provided from the prior and current ownership, including a recent invoice for a rebuilt DSC module (prone to malfunction). A prior service was completed in May 2024, which included a brake fluid flush, new brake pads and rotors, a wheel alignment, and an oil and filter change. The owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a tire inflator, an original BMW keychain, service records, and a clean title accompany the sale of this 2007 BMW Z4 M Coupe, listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in North Bergen, New Jersey with three days left to bid.


2001 Saab 93 Viggen Convertible

Though most often associated with building quirky, ergonomic, and economic passenger cars with a strong emphasis on safety, Saab’s performance credentials date back to its 93 model and a number of victories in rally competitions on the world stage, as well as a second-in-class at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans. True to its tagline, “born from jets,” it introduced turbocharging to the 99 in 1977, with the Porsche 911 Turbo the only other turbo offering at the time. Later 900 models were offered with an SPG (Special Performance Group) kit that produced 180 hp from its 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, impressive for the day. After GM’s takeover (50% in 1989. the remainder in 2000), much of the company’s engineering got cross-platform diluted while competition from Japan rapidly outpaced its once impressive performance. As something of a we-still-got-it move, Saab delivered what is the last—and arguably best—model, the 93 Viggen. The first ideas for the 93 Viggen started life back in October 1994, with the arrival of Saab’s SVO (Special Vehicle Operation) project. A little over a year later, the SVO team presented a heavily modified Yellow 900 (NG) Coupe, and an equally heavily modified Blue Convertible in the February 1996 issue of SAAB Magazine. Stilla work-in-progress, it would be mid-1999 before the SVO 900 (now 93 Viggen) would appear on showroom floors. Distinguished by a unique front fascia, side skirts, a rear spoiler, and 17″ alloy wheels, the Viggen (Swedish for “thunderbolt”) put out 230 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque, a remarkable achievement at the time for a front-wheel-drive car. Inside, the Viggen featuresd a leather-trimmed interior, a sport steering wheel, a premium sound system, and a boost gauge. This 2001 Saab 93 Viggen Convertible is finished in Laser Red, complemented by a black power-operated soft top, fog lamps, and headlamp washers. The Black interior is appointed with heated and power-adjustable front seats and automatic climate control. Chips, scratches, and blemishes are noted around the exterior, with scuffs and a crack on the underside of the front bumper, as well as a crack in the windshield. The wheels have some curb rash, while some rust is evident on the exhaust components. The seats and interior trim show some wear. With 51,791 miles on the odometer at the time of listing, its maintenance history includes regular engine oil and filter changes as well as the recent replacement of a parking light bulb, A/C control module, tires, rear fog light bulbs, and front right headlight bulb, along with a brake fluid and transmission fluid flush. Service records accompany the sale, along with two keys, the owner’s manuals, the window sticker, a set of 16″ Saab wheels, a car cover, and a Saab blanket.

1979 Porsche 911 Turbo

The original plan for the Porsche 911 Turbo was to meet the homologation requirements of 400 units (enough for homologation rules with Groups 4 and 5 in mind), but in the end, the Turbo became a cultural phenomenon, a performance king and huge commercial success. In 1978, the 930 was upgraded with the addition of an intercooler and a bump in displacement from 3.0 to 3.3 liters, which bumped up engine output to 300 hp. The brakes were also upgraded and the “whale tail” spoiler was re-designed and raised slightly to accommodate the intercooler (referred to as the “tea tray” spoiler). Produced until 1989, the Type 930 will always have the honor of being the original. This 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo is a US-spec example, restored and modified by the seller between 2024 and 2025, with approximately 700 miles driven since completion. It was repainted in its original Black Metallic color. The body features vented rear fenders, Euro taillights, foglights, LED license plate lights, Turbo “S” front valence, RSR bumper, tea-tray spoiler, and new side skirts, with every body seal replaced. Chassis reinforcements include weld-in plates at the shock towers, sway bar mounts, and spring plates, and the torsion bars have been upgraded from 19mm to 21mm. Suspension upgrades include Tarett Engineering and Elephant RSR-style sway bars, Bilstein heavy-duty shocks, and zinc-plated spring plates, while braking is managed by restored 930 Turbo power-assisted calipers with drilled discs at all four corners. The car rides on 17″ BRAID Fuchs-style wheels with Continental tires measuring 235/45 front and 285/40 rear. The interior was reupholstered by Autos Int’l in Escondido, California. Correct 1979 “Tombstone” sport seats and rear seats were covered in Lobster Red leather with zinc ventilation grommets, Recaro badging, and matching red stitching. The carpets and floor mats were replaced, and Red Coco mats are also included. The backdated aluminum dash is finished with a carbon-fiber faceplate. The carbon-fiber MOMO three-spoke leather steering wheel fronts a 180-mph speedometer, 6,700-rpm tachometer, and an Emtron CAN gauge providing live ECU data. Amenities include an ALS anti-lag button, power windows, power sunroof, Classic Retrofit Electric AC, heating system, custom Restrosound stereo with Bluetooth, and a cupholder. The turbocharged flat-six was bored and stroked to 3.4 liters with extensive modifications detailed in the listing. Highlights include Webcam billet GT2-spec camshafts, Protomotive custom Turbo connecting rods, Mahle 98mm pistons and cylinders
ARP head studs, a shuffle-pinned block by TurboKraft, titanium dual valve springs, electric A/C system, and an EFI conversion with rolling anti-lag. The 4-speed manual transaxle features 935 close-ratio gears, a Numeric short shifter, and a limited-slip differential. Displaying 68,688 miles at the time of listing, various stages of the build were photo-documented and are included in the sale, along with a stamped maintenance book, owner’s manuals, and toolroll, It is being offered here on Carbuckle in Calgary, Alberta by Alex Hayden-Luck, co-founder of Carbuckle, with the auction closing August 29, 2025 at 4:00 p.m.


1992 Alfa Romeo 164 S

Alfa Romeo began developing the model 164 in the late ’70s, and it now holds the distinction of being the last true Alfa Romeo designed before its acquisition in 1986 by Fiat. It was large sedan, by European standards, targeting the Audi 100/200 (5000 in the US), BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It overcame much of the rust and reliability issues that had plagued past Alfas with galvanized body panels. The new flagship Tipo Quattro platform would go on to be shared by the Fiat Croma, Saab 9000 and Lancia Thema. Its Pinifarina-designed wedge shape resulted in an impressive 0.30 drag coefficient (vis à vis the seemingly more slippery Audi 100’s 0.33). From its profile, the sculptured doors were unusual in an era where most other vehicles sported flat or slightly curved panels. Those lines were extended toward the tall rear quarter panels. Inside, front seats were amply bolstered, inviting spirited driving, while a rear bench seat could accommodate five adults. Those who lament the disappearance of buttons in today’s touchscreen interiors would revel in the 164’s cabin. Yes, there are buttons. Many, many buttons controlling the driving modes, climate control, driving lights, fuel and trunk doors, and audio system. Not a touchscreen—nor a dial for that matter—to be seen. Its designer, Enrico Fumia, called it his most beautiful work. To many others, its real beauty lied in the Busso-designed V6—now displacing 3.0 liters and producing 200 hp and 189 lb-ft of torque—mated to a silky but crisp 5-speed gearbox. Even today, it is often cited as one of the greatest drivetrains in automotive history. Despite its front-wheel drive layout, its handling, aided by its electronic sports suspension, equalled or bettered its rear-drive German rivals. This 1992 Alfa Romeo 164 S is a Canadian-spec car that’s titled and located in Quebec, Canada. Finished in Black with Grey lower cladding, it came equipped with the S-specific body kit (extended front spoiler, side-skirts, and a rear apron), and 15″ alloy wheels. The exterior has been modified with hood pins and a rear badge delete. Some blemishes on the hood, a scratch on the hood, and tires with 2012 date codes are noted. The Black interior features power-adjustable and heated front seats upholstered in leather and appointed with a power sunroof, an Alfa Romeo-branded AM/FM/Cassette audio system, and cruise control. The seats and interior touch points show some wear, and the leather trim on the passenger front door is torn. The seller notes that the A/C is inoperable and believes the blower fan is seized, the auto door locks are inoperable, and the hood latch cable is broken. The engine oil and filter were changed in Spring 2025. Some additional service history is detailed in the Carfax report, included in the sale, along with two keys and the owner’s manual.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 TE 3.6 BRABUS

Like its Cabriolet sibling, the Touring (wagon) variant of the Mercedes-Benz W124 (S124) comes from the era of overengineered quality for which Mercedes-Benz earned the right to call itself das beste oder nichts, the best or nothing. The S124 added the practicality of a cavernous cargo area. The Teutonic longroof profile also lent itself to the kind of high-performance ‘sleeper’ tuning that was popular in Europe in the ’90s. Outfits like AMG, Carlsson, Lorsiner, and BRABUS tweaked powerplants, brakes, and suspensions while keeping most of the wagon’s stately but sedate mien. This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 TE 3.6 BRABUS, finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199), was initially sold via the Cologne Branch of Mercedes-Benz in West Germany as a 300 TE-24. Factory equipped with a power sunroof, power heated front seats, heat-insulating glass, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a folding third row bench seat, it was then sent to BRABUS Tuning. There it received cosmetic upgrades including ground effects and 17″ BRABUS Monoblock V wheels. The cabin, customized by BRABUS in period, shows the seats and doors all trimmed in Buffalo Leather accented by gray leather piping on the seats. Other BRABUS cabin modifications include a BRABUS steering wheel, BRABUS cluster, BRABUS plush velour floor mats, and BRABUS door sills. Additionally, a Panasonic head unit and screen are shown in the cabin. This wagon received a stereo upgrade including speakers and a custom subwoofer enclosure in the cargo compartment. Where this S124 truly separates itself from its grocery-getting capabilities is under the skin, which is where we find a BRABUS modified 24-Valve M104 inline-six engine bored to 3.6 liters producign 245 hp and 272 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 722.3 4-speed automatic transmission and a limited slip differential. The front suspension wears Bilstein shocks and BRABUS-specific springs showing 124-200-100-HA-II part numbers, while the rear is fitted with new self-leveling shocks. Displaying 136,656 kilometers at the time of listing, this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 TE 3.6 BRABUS is offered by the seller in Brighton, East Sussex, England with factory literature, service records, one key, and a clean U.K. title. It’s being offered on The MB Market where bidding closes August 28, 205 at 4:25 p.m. EDT

1989 Porsche 911 Speedster

While the Porsche 356 was designed to be the people’s sports car in much the same way that Ferdinand Porsche had designed the Type 1 to be wagen of the volks, there was a market—namely in the victory-minded culture of post-War America (and specifically Southern California)—who were looking for a little more sport from their sports car. Enter the 356 America Roadster. As its name would suggest, it was developed exclusively for the American market. Its hand-built aluminum body contributed to its not insignificant 160-kilogram (~350-lb) advantage to the 750-kilogram (1,650-lb) 356 Coupé. That resulted in a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph) from its 70-hp boxer engine, impressive at the time for a four-cylinder engine. It was the US importer Max Hoffmann who convinced Porsche there was a market for their cars in America. He requested an inexpensive Porsche with reduced furnishings costing less than $3,000. In autumn 1954, Porsche produced a significantly less expensive version than the 356 America Roadster, which included ‘Speedster’ in the model name for the first time and quickly caused a sensation in the world of motor sports. It combined the sheet steel body of the cabriolet with a raked windscreen, reduced interior equipment and a rain top. In the USA, the 356 1500 Speedster cost just 2,995 US dollars and became an instant hit in the sunny coastal states. Production of the 356 Speedster ended in 1958 when it evolved into a somewhat more accommodating Roadster to suit changing tastes. In 1988, a Speedster variant was introduced in the 911 series, as the crowning highlight of the discontinued G-modell generation. The most open of all the 911 models was based on the 227-hp 911 Carrera 3.2 featuring a wide turbo look, a shortened windscreen, and a manually operated rain top that disappeared under a large plastic “humpback” painted in the vehicle color. In those days, the prices for the Speedster started at DM110,000 (around $200,000 at the time and over $500,000 today). This 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster is one of just 823 US-market examples produced for that single model year, marking it as a rare and collectible model. Finished in classic Guards Red over Black leather, this Speedster is powered by a 227-hp 3.2-liter flat-six engine paired with a G50 five-speed manual transaxle. Notable equipment includes 16″ Fuchs alloy wheels, air conditioning, power-adjustable seats, and a Blaupunkt SQR 46 Radio. Presenting in exceptional condition, this example shows just 655 miles on the odometer as of the time of cataloguing. Delivered new to Huntington Autohaus Limited of Huntington Station, New York, the car now resides with the selling dealer in Pasadena, California. Included in the sale are a key fob. the owner’s manual & service books, the original window sticker, and a toolkit. This virtually new 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster is now offered for sale here at SOMO where bidding ends August 28, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EDT.


1993 Audi S4 4.2 Avant

Following the enthusiastic response of Audi’s first ‘S’ model, the 90-based S2 coupe, the Ingolstadt applied the same performance attributes to its executive-class 100 (C4) as an all-wheel-drive alternative to BMW’s M5 and Mercedes-Benz 500 E. Often referred to as Ur-S4 (Ursprünglich, or original), the front end was redesigned to appear sportier, the fenders were widened slightly, but the main difference was under the hood. Initially equipped with a 220-hp, 5-cylinder 2.2-liter turbo engine, for its final year in 1993, the S4 got a 4.2-liter all-aluminium alloy V8 developing 276 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. But, like so many other ’90s legends of the Autobahn, the S4 “Plus” was not available in the US. This 1993 Audi S4 Plus is all the more special as it’s the Avant (wagon) variant. It spent time in Germany before it was brought to the US under previous ownership. It left the factory finished in Brilliant Blue [E8] and was repainted while in Europe. It was spec’d without a sunroof or roof rails. The interior features heated and power-adjustable front sports seats trimmed in Black leather that extends to the split-folding rear bench. Wood trim accents the cabin, which is also appointed with automatic climate control as well as a cargo-area partition net and retractable cover. Some chips are noted on the side mirrors; some corrosion shows on underbody components; there’s a hole in the driver’s seat bolster (pictured in the gallery), and some wear on the interior upholstery and touch-points. Instruments have faulty dashboard pixels and a “bremslicht,” or brake light warning message is displayed on the dashboard at start-up. The 4.2-liter 32-valve V8 sends power to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transaxle and a quattro all-wheel-drive system with a Torsen center differential and a push-button locking rear differential. Work in November 2024 included resealing the oil pan and replacing the oil cooler and seals for the camshafts, crankshaft, and oil pump. The fan clutch bearing and a vent hose were replaced in February 2025. Some service records are included in the sale, as are one key and the factory service booklet, brochures, and literature. This 1993 Audi S4 Plus Avant is now listed here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in Lebanon, New Jersey with four days remaining in the auction.


1993 Toyota Supra Turbo

Toyota originally revealed the Supra name in April 1978 as a new designation for a longer, wider and more powerful spin-off of the second-generation Celica. Designed and developed to compete in the popular grand tourer market in Japanese and North American markets—ruled almost exclusively by Datsun’s Z-cars at the time—the new A40 Celica Supra (named Celica XX in its domestic market) replaced the Celica’s 4-cylinder engine with a silky smooth 6-cylinder powerplant that offered a more luxurious character. Fourteen years later, the fourth—and what most consider the greatest—generation debuted. With the now legendary 2JZ twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-6, its performance echoed the captivatingly sleek and sensuous styling. It could reach 60 mph from a standing start in 4.6 seconds, run the quarter-mile in 13 seconds flat, stop from 70 mph inside of 160 feet, and produce .95g of lateral grip on the skidpad. Fearsome numbers in 1993. And, as a Toyota, the engine was bombproof, which made for relatively easy ownership, but it also lent itself to extensive modifications by the fast & furious set. Finding an unmolested example is increasingly difficult. Finding one with fewer than 1,000 is unheard of. This 1993 Toyota Supra Turbo Premier Edition has covered exactly 900 miles by a single owner at the time of cataloguing. It is that much more exceptional is its rare Anthracite finish [1A1] and entirely unmolested and original, aside from a fuel pump replaced by the dealer in 2013. It is equipped with a removable Sport Roof, 17″ five-spoke alloy wheels wearing 255/40ZR17 Michelin Pilot SX tires, 12.7″ front, 12.8″ rear vented disc brakes with ABS, a 4-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode with a limited slip differential, control arm front, multilink rear suspension with factory coilover shocks, speed sensitive power rack and pinion steering, and traction control. One minor ding is noted on the passenger door. The Black leather interior features air conditioning, power seats, windows, locks, and mirrors, tilt steering wheel, and cruise control. All keys, the Targa roof tool kit and fastener covers, the owner’s manuals, a dealership Supra sales brochure, and all service records since new accompany the sale. Also included is the original rear spoiler. These were installed at the dealership after delivery; however, the owner elected not to have the spoiler installed. This truly exceptional 1993 Toyota Supra Turbo is now listed on Hagerty Marketplace by a consignment agent in Stuart, Florida with the auction closing September 2, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.

2000 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 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera is is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and equipped with a desirable 6-speed manual gearbox, integrated fog lights, heated power mirrors, an electric sunroof, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets. It rides on 18″ 911 Turbo-look wheels dressed in new Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. The seller notes that the exterior is in excellent condition, having undergone a recent three-stage paint correction process. The Black standard leather interior includes heated 8-way power-adjustable front seats with driver memory, a leather four-spoke steering wheel, and optional carbon fiber trim for the gear knob and parking brake lever. The car also features a central locking system, automatic climate control, cruise control, an onboard computer, and a Porsche CDR-220 stereo. Some minor discoloration is noted on the steering wheel. Showing 17,754 miles at the time of listing, a new LN Engineering IMS bearing was installed under the seller’s care, along with a new rear main seal, battery, coolant reservoir, hood & decklid shocks, and an oil and filter change. Thewner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean title are included in the sale of this 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera, listed on PCARMARKET by Prickly Pear Auto Club in El Paso with two days left to bid. 


2006 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster

The Lamborghini Murciélago debuted for the US market in 2002 as only the company’s fourth steel-tube chassis supercar, with lineage going back to the Miura 1966 P400. As the successor to the Diablo 6.0, the Murci saw an increase in displacement to 6.2 liters as well as power output (now 572 hp, up 30 from the 6.0), along with larger brakes and improvements to the all-wheel-drive and front-axle lift systems. The 2005 model year brought the introduction of the Roadster. Just 22 percent of first-generation Murcielagos arrived in Roadster form worldwide. Further, just three percent of Roadsters were equipped with a manual gearbox following the introduction of Lamborghini’s automated EGear (2004). This 2006 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster is one of just 38 believed to exist with a factory 6-speed gated manual. It was purchased new in Ohio, with the second owner taking possession following just four months and 281 miles after the original owner. The seller acquired the car earlier this year, adding only 15 miles. It came finished in Giallo Orion, complemented by Yellow Lamborghini brake calipers behind 18″ Hercules wheels. The lower front bumper and side rockers were painted as maintenance for rock chips acquired during normal use (2023). Some small rock chips appear to the right rear bumper and forward-facing surfaces, while scratches remain under the front lip. The car has never been in an accident of any kind. The cabin is upholstered in Nero Perseus leather with Yellow contrast stitching throughout. Appointments include its original AM/FM/CD stereo and power windows. Minor scuffs to the driver’s leather seat cushion are noted. Displaying 13,248 miles at the time of cataloguing, a service was completed at Lamborghini of North Scottsdale in November of 2023, which consisted of a complete lube, oil, and filter service, as well as the resolution of all open recalls. With two keys, the owner’s manual and service books, a removable cloth roof w/carrying case, a car cover, and spare or removed parts, this 2006 Lamborghini Murciéelago is being offered here on SOMO by a private party in Glendale, Arizona with the auction closing August 29, 2025 at 5:50 p.m. EDT.


1995 Mercedes-Benz E 320 Cabriolet

The Mercedes-Benz W124 (1985 – 1995) holds a legendary reputation for its tank-like build quality and durability. It recalls a time when engineering drove the Stuttgart outfit’s products, before the more cost-effective measures of platform sharing and the economies of scale found in today’s offerings. Initially available as a four-door sedan, a T-modell (wagon) was added a few months later. In early 1987, Mercedes-Benz presented the 2-door coupé. Compared to the sedan and wagon, it had a shorter wheelbase and lower roofline, with pillarless glazing. Finally, in late 1992, a cabriolet joined the lineup for the first time since the W111 280 SE Cabriolet in 1971. Extensive structural reinforcements and a pop-up roll bar (like its R129 SL sibling) allowed for compliance with safety regulations. Compared to the W124 sedan, the A124 Cabriolet had a shorter wheelbase, longer doors for easier rear access, a lower roofline when the soft top was up, and individual rear seats. It shared all other technical features, including the innovative (at the time) multi-link rear suspension. This, along with its 217-hp 24-valve DOHC engine, allowed the Cabriolet to handle like a grand tourer despite its added weight. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E 320 Cabriolet was initially sold in Oregon in 1996 and remained there with its single owner through 2025. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic [744], it is equipped with an electrically-operated black fabric soft top with an electrically heated rear window. Exterior appointments includes headlamp wiper/washers, heated and power-adjustable door mirrors, central locking, and an automatic antenna. The cabin is upholstered in Black Leather [261] and features matching black carpets and Burl Walnut wood trim, which lines the center console, dashboard and door panels. There appear to be zero cracks in the veneer or sun damage. Both front seats are heated and power operated with minimal wear or discoloration. Interior appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, a passenger airbag, functional automatic seat belt presenters, a power telescoping steering column, and a factory head unit with rear CD changer. Power comes from a 3.2-liter M104 engine coupled a 4-speed automatic transmission. With 30,610 miles on the odometer at the time of listing, records show Mercedes-Benz dealer servicing since new. The wiring harness was updated in addition to the head being replaced at 22,000 miles in 2005. In preparation for the sale, the selling dealer had a safety inspection performed and replaced the antenna. A factory first aid kit, multidisc CD changer in the trunk, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Oregon title accompany the sale. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E 320 Cabriolet is now available on The MB Market out of Darien, Wisconsin with two days left to bid.

2011 RUF Rt Roadster

RUF Automobile GmbH has consistently stayed ahead of the curve, driven by a relentless pursuit of innovation and a passion for pushing boundaries. Porsche can be likened to a serious older brother, allowing a small amount of room for the fun-loving, younger sibling to go in a slightly different direction. The CTR Yellow Bird is, of course, iconic, but more recently, RUF has beaten Porsche to the punch on many concepts that we take for granted today. In 2011, RUF reimagined the original 1967 911 soft-window Targa as the Rt Roadster. The ”bügel” (fixed roll-bar) Targa survived until being replaced by the sliding-glass “greenhouse” roof of the 993 generation in 1995.It would be nearly 20 years before Zuffenhausen revived the concept, yet as usual, RUF was ahead of the game. The Rt Roadster is based on the Rt 12 S. It features a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six RUF-built engine that produced an astonishing 600 horsepower—outpacing the 911 Turbo S of the time—and benefits from characteristic RUF rear quarter panel openings that feed fresh air to the intercoolers. Power is fed to all four wheels through a near-seamless seven-speed double clutch transmission. This 2011 RUF Rt Roadster was delivered to the United States finished in Chroma Flash Hologram Matt, a color that shifts from silver to warmer undertones of gold and blue across the Roadster’s curved bodywork. A Dark Grey rollbar in matt finish provides an exceptional contrast to the body color and color-matched two-piece hard top, as do the matching 19″ forged aluminum center-lock wheels. These special five-spoke RUF wheels frame large carbon brake discs clamped by yellow RUF-branded four-piston brake calipers. The entire Rt platform is underpinned by a special RUF-tuned suspension at all four corners. The interior features Red leather upholstery with Silver stitching and a carbon fiber interior package applied to the gear shift knob, steering wheel, handbrake lever, and foldable sport bucket seats. Additional contrast is provided by the Stone Grey carpeting, Silver seat belts, and an interior package that brings the Chroma Flash Hologram Matt exterior paint onto the door opener covers, armrest lids, door handles, and front center console cover. Creature comforts include touch screen navigation and a BOSE Surround Sound System. With 6,907 miles at the time of cataloguing, recent maintenance includes a fluid flush, fresh tires, new front blinkers, and a respray of the front bumper cover all from RUF North America. Recent service records accompany the sale, along with its owner’s manuals and a RUF Zertifikat issued in June 2024 that confirms its original engine and transmission. After a (surprising) no-sale during the weekend’s Monterey Jet Center Sale, this one-off 2011 RUF Rt Roadster is now available for immediate purchase at Broad Arrow Auctions, asking $950,000.


1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III BJ8

The Austin-Healey 3000, introduced in 1959 for the 1960 model year, is considered by many to be the quintessence of the British roadster. It remains the best known of the ‘Big Healeys.’ Over the course of production, three generations of 3000 were built: Mk I (1960-1961), Mk II (1962-1963), and Mk III (1964-1967). The Mk III featured an increase in the power of its 2.9-liter inline-5, now up to 150 hp. Meanwhile, the cockpit was extensively revised to make it the most luxurious of all big Healeys. This Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III BJ8 comes from the final year of production (1967). It was treated to a comprehensive restoration with a color change from Healey Blue to White, as per the factory Production Card. The exterior continues to present strongly, though some misalignment of the door is visible from certain angles. The paint and all brightwork, glass, and lights appear complete and unblemished. A blue cloth convertible top was likely new at the time of the restoration. The plastic rear window appears clear. The tonneau cover, a factory option, and top boot also appear newer. The car rides on factory optioned 15″ wire wheels dressed in Kumho 185/65 tires. The Blue interior features seats restored with leather facings (originally Amblin vinyl), which are said to show some fit issues on the seat backs. Door panels and interior panels, however, show little or no wear. The hardwood dashboard facia and vinyl padding also present cleanly. All gauges and controls are complete and believed to be functioning. A Moto-Lita style wood-rim steering wheel is mounted on the factory optioned adjustable column. Displaying 58,290 miles, believed to be original, no mechanical issues are reported. Extensive documentation is included in the sale, along with an original service booklet and a hardcover book covering the Austin-Healey 100-6 and 3000 from 1956-1968. This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is listed here on Hemmings out of Newtown, Pennsylvania with three days remaining in the auction.


1992 Acura NSX

When the original Acura NSX Concept (“New Sports Experimental”) was shown at the Chicago Auto Show in February 1989, the world got a glimpse of a machine that would garner a devout enthusiast following for decades to come. Blending captivating looks, agile performance, and renowned reliability, the NSX was something special. Honda’s standards were so high for the car that each of the Tochigi plant’s 200 associates were hand-selected (each with a minimum 10 years’ experience), and only 32 cars were assembled each day. This 1992 Acura NSX, the 809th in sequence produced for its year, was finished in Grand Prix White as a nod to Honda’s rich history in Formula 1 motorsports. The body is complemented by a Black painted roof, integrated rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets with oval stainless-steel tips, and forged aluminum five-spoke wheels. The cabin is appointed in four-way power-adjustable Black leather seats, stainless-steel door sill plates serialized with production № NT000809, a tilt and telescopic steering column, non power-assisted variable ratio rack-and-pinion steering, automatic climate control, a Bose® sound system, cruise control, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a center console and armrest. Displaying 2,021 miles at the time of cataloguing, its sole owner drove it sparingly early in lifeit subsequently spent years in secure safekeeping. Years later, the car emerged and was put back into roadworthiness by Leading Edge Autosport, which included replacement of timing belt, timing belt tensioner, water pump, battery, valve cover gaskets, belts, and spark plugs; replacement of fuel pump; replacement of transaxle, clutch, and brake fluids; replacement of lift struts for engine cover and trunk; and replacement of wiper blades. In addition, YouTuber Larry Kosilla (AMMO NYC) treated the car to an expert detail. The video has amassed 1.5 million views and counting. The car went on to feature in the April and July 2024 issues of Road & Track. It retains its 1992-era Yokohama tires and the original Pennsylvania inspection stickers in the windshield, along with past service records, a titanium key, standard key, and valet key, the owner’s manual and service manual, memorabilia (posters, cigar box), a car cover, and the original window sticker showing a retail price of $63,600 (about $146,450 today). With each passing marquis auction, the early Acura/Honda NSX (NA1) continues to set new benchmarks. This virtually new 1992 Acura NSX, with its low miles and media fame, is sure to continue the trend. It’s listed here on SBX Cars by its one and only owner in Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania with the auction closing August 26, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.

1987 Porsche 928 S4

If you read the Stuttgart Market Letter (and you should), you may have noted that 2025 may end up being “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 was a sensation in its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1977. The public was thrilled. Der Spiegel noted, “No other car has played a more crucial role in Porsche’s highs and lows than the 928.” In other words, this completely new, incredibly modern, and timelessly elegant sports car clearly had everything it needed to take on the legacy of the 911. Events turned out differently, however as the 911 was clearly the soul of Porsche, despite the 928 being named the European “Car of the Year” in 1978—the first and only sports car to receive that honor—and despite its continuous improvement and upgrades. The Series 4 (S4) variant debuted in the second half of 1986 as a 1987 model, with an updated version of the now 5.0-liter V8 producing 320 hp, along with fairly significant styling updates which gave the car a cleaner, sleeker look. This 1987 Porsche 928 S4 comes finished in Slate Grey Metallic and equipped with 16″ flat disc wheels, a rear wiper, and the S4’s larger rear spoiler. The Burgundy leather interior features a power sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, and air conditioning. Some wear is noted in the upholstery and on interior touch points, however the dashboard—an Achilles heel of the 928—is free of cracks and warpage. An Alpine head unit replaces the factory Blaupunkt. Displaying an impressive 18,754 miles on imperial instruments, recent maintenance includes replacing the battery, valve cover gasket, and tires, as well as a tune-up. Two keys, the owner’s manual and a key code card accompany the sale. An automatic gearbox (as most were) and Canadian tariffs might keep this clean low-mileage 1987 Porsche 928 S4 a relative bargain. Find it listed here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in Brossard, Quebec with five days remaining in the auction.


1967 Citroën DS 21 Safari

The Citroën DS (in Citroën’s cheeky way, DS is pronounced déesse, or goddess) debuted in 1955. Designed by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni, it stunned the world with its futuristic styling and advanced engineering that provided a smooth ride and capable handling. The wagon, or “Safari” variant was introduced in 1958, with a steel roof designed to support a roof rack and a stacked arrangement of cone taillights housed within a pair of tailfins. The DS was sold in the US, but with limited success. Its innovative hydroneumatic suspension’s height variations were unable to pass the federal bumper and headlight height regulations after 1972. In all, only 38,000 were sold in the US. This 1967 Citroën DS, Chassis № 3554921, is all the more unique in that it’s a Safari variant. It was originally purchased by Dr. Robert Boon of New York State, who kept the car alongside a few other Citroëns. The car’s engine was damaged sometime in the 1980s, and it ended up sitting until May 1992, when it was purchased by Norman Hoefs of North Dakota, who put the car back on the road with a good running engine. The current owner purchased the car in 2021 and immediately set out to make it a reliable driver, spending over $20,000 in the process. The service records on file start in 2021 and show that this example received a new radiator cap, spark plugs and wires, new pistons and liners, a water pump, a fuel pump, ignition points, a distributor cap, a condenser, a rotor, an inner drive shaft boot, a clutch release bearing, a clutch disc, brake pads, and camshaft seals, as well as various coolant hoses, new window seals, sill plate seals, hood liner, thermostat, and the cover plate under the sill. Subsequent work included a rebuilt LHM pump, brake accumulator, steering rack, and aluminum pressure regulator. The suspension spheres and main accumulator were also recharged. The starter then received some new brushes, a new motor mount was installed, along with a rear suspension cylinder piston, a front suspension rod, a rebuilt Weber carburetor, and numerous other fixes and adjustments. The heater control valve was then repaired in February 2023. Later on, in July 2023, the rear brake wheel cylinders were replaces, a split pressure regulator hose was repaired, some window and door latch issues were addressed, rear seatbelts were installed, the rear brake swivels were converted to brake hoses, and the sphere diaphragm was replaced. A few months later, the car was treated to a brake sphere rebuild, some brake fixes, a new HP pump, and a Petronix conversion, followed by installation of a new fuel pump and starter relay. In March 2025, the gear shift cable was readjusted, the hydraulic filter was cleaned, and an oil change was performed. The original spare and accessories, handwritten notes between the first and second owner, and all of the service records on file accompany the sale, offered at $38,000, here at LBI Limited in Philadelphia.


1984 Alfa Romeo Arna

During the height of the ’70s oil embargo, automobile manufacturers were scrambling to develop more fuel-efficient cars in order to adapt to new consumer needs and wants. This included storied marques like Alfa Romeo, who already had an “entry level” line with Alfasud. Alfasud was positioned as an Italian competitor to the BMW 02/3-Series; not to mention its cousins from Fiat. But Alfa needed a car to compete with the successful Japanese manufacturers, and rather than start from scratch, it partnered with one of those, Nissan, to bring the Arna to market. The mechanicals, with the exception of the rear suspensions, were produced by Alfasud, while the body was made in Japan by Nissan, a badge-engineered Cherry. By the time the body was ready to be assembled, a new plant in Pratola Serra (Avellino) had been founded, about 50 kilometers from Alfasud. All looked rosy (cherry?) ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1983. The Italian Government was even backing the partnership. The coming together of Japanese reliability and build quality, combined with Italian style, put other European manufacturers on edge. This had Trojan Horse written all over it—the Japanese were going to steal sales by sliding into the market on the Alfa Romeo name. The fret, however, turned out to be unfounded. It was not well-received by the automotive press. Jeremy Clarkson proclaimed it “one of the worst creations in the whole of history … it might have worked if they’d married Japanese build quality to Italian design flair, but they did it the other way round.” When, in 1987, the last Arna left the assembly line, just 53,047 bodies had been built, many of which remained unsold for a long time. Today, with the ever-expanding segment of “crap car” collectors, the Arna is finding new appreciation. This 6,050-mile 1984 Alfa Romeo Arna was imported to the US from Greece and remains in near museum (cherry) condition with all original paint and finishes, as well as a “spotless” interior. Powered by an Alfa Romeo 1.2-liter boxer engine, this 1984 Alfa Romeo Arna is said to be running perfectly (take that, Clarkson!). It’s a guaranteed cars-&-coffee conversation starter, and it can be found on Facebook Marketplace in Tallmadge, Ohio at an asking price of $14,900.

1997 Porsche 911 Targa

If you’ve been following the Stuttgart Market Letter (and you should), you’ve no doubt observed that values of the once maligned 993-generation Targas have been catching up to or eclipsing their Coupe siblings. What four years ago sold at a high mark of around $60,000 is now around $180,000. Is it a flash in the pan, or is there a genuine newfound appreciation for the greenhouse ambience that the sliding glass roof affords? As we wait for the answer to that, we can admire it for what it is now. To begin with, it’s a 993, considered by many to be the best generation of 911, combining an analog driving experience with leaps in technology like a 282-hp 3.6-liter twin-plug falt-6 and a 6-speed G50/20 gearbox. The 993 is also esteemed as being the last air-cooled 911, a Porsche legacy that dated back to its Gmünd roots in 1948. The 993 Targa, a departure from the removable top/wraparound rear window of older generations (before returning to a fully automated version of the same), was closer in appearance to the Coupe (some in fact preferring the sharper point of the C-pillar vs the Coupe’s traditional rounded corner), while providing much of the open-air pleasure of the Cabriolet. Then there’s the relative rarity: 4,619 Targas were made out total worldwide 993 production of 68,881. 1,151 of those came to the US and Canada. This is one of those. From 1997, this Porsche 911 Targa is finished in Guards Red, which suits the Targa’s lines particularly well. Factory equipment includes 17″ 2-piece Speedline wheels, tan leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, air conditioning, and cruise control. It has been in the care of the current Texas owner since new. Now showing 35,783 miles, it has been freshly tuned in preparation for sale. This 1997 Porsche 911 Targa is listed on Facebook Marketplace at an asking price of $135,000.


1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 E 6.0 AMG Hammer

The development of the AMG 4-valve Hammer engines started around 1982, with the 5.0-liter M117 Mercedes-Benz engine, which was further bored and stroked, first to 5.2 and later to a 5.4 -liter displacement. Once Mercedes-Benz introduced the 5.6-liter M117, AMG was able to create a 6.0-liter M117 engine using the AMG 4-valve cylinder heads. This gave the W124 E-class the power needed to reach a 300 km/h top speed, earning the nickname “Hammer.” This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 6.0 AMG Hammer Sedan started life as a 300 E ordered through the Stuttgart Branch and presumably built by AMG Germany, where it was then mechanically and cosmetically enhanced by the Affalterbach tuning and racing house early in its life. Barry Taylor of Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories (AMG West) was the one to import this Hammer in 1991 for Seward Prosser Mellon out of Pennsylvania with a matching plaque shown. The current owner of this AMG Hammer located and purchased this Hammer sedan out of a local San Francisco collector’s estate approximately five years ago. The body is finished in Black Pearl Metallic [199] with matching lower cladding, a power retractable/tilt sunroof, paint-matched headlight wipers, a paint-matched monowiper, heat-rejecting glass, central locking, and Euro-spec glass headlights. The period-installed AMG body kit features a sculpted front bumper with fog lights, a rear ducktail spoiler, sculpted rear bumper, extended side skirts, and dual polished AMG exhaust outlets. Paint meter readings indicate a repaint under prior ownership. Monochromatic trim is seen on the grill, bumpers, and door handles, and this Hammer features a hood ornament delete. Euro amber corner lenses are installed and the glass shows all original. Original 17″ AMG Aero I wheels are finished with Black Pearl Metallic (199) painted faces, machined lips, and are complete with original AMG flat center caps. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires show 2025 date codes up front and 2020 for the rears. The tires measure 215/45 and 235/45, respectively which are the correct sizes per AMG specifications for the Hammer. The current owner removed tires with 1991 date codes when he purchased the car in 2020. AMG-branded shocks are fitted underneath along with a period-correct Sebring exhaust made specifically for the W124 AMG. The owner notes that the rear muffler is from a M104 AMG car that he retrofitted to make work for this Hammer. The stampings in the exhaust are shown and detailed underside photos. Braking is handled with dual-piston rear brake calipers from a S124 and the fronts have larger ATE BMW E32 7-Series brakes. The current owner performed a brake fluid service, replaced the front driver tie rod, and replaced worn suspension items as needed. No suspension knocks or clunks are noted when driving. The rear subframe on a Hammer has been reinforced by AMG as they use W126 running gear fused to the five-link independent rear suspension. A 560 SEL differential replaces the stock W124 with W126 flex discs. The interior is finished in Gray Suede with Recaro bucket seats in both the front and rear, Gray Suede door inserts on all four doors, an AMG M38 leather wrapped steering wheel, gray carpets and wool floor mats. Burl walnut wood accents the center console, dashboard, glovebox, and optional extended wood on the door cards. Amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, electrically adjustable heated front seats with some manual settings, dealer installed burl walnut driver side cup holder, power passenger side mirror, and a rear folding armrest for the rear Recaro seats. An Alpine CDE-172 BT head unit is currently installed in the center console with the original Concord CX70 head unit in the box that is included with the sale which was presumably installed by Andy Cohen at Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories along with an upgraded sound system featuring a spare audio box on the rear parcel shelf. Brochures for a Ungo Box TL-1600 Car Vehicle Protection System are in the glovebox with the module located within the front bumper as seen under the car. The seller believes it has been decommissioned. The seller notes the A/C panel will need to be refurbished as it continuously blows air through the vents. The climate control system does blow cold air and the heat works as well. All four windows roll down and the sunroof retracts and tilts. The most important aspect that makes this a Hammer is the AMG-modified 6.0-liter DOHC 32-valve M117 V8 engine that increased engine output to approximately 385 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque. The car originally came fitted with a 3.0-liter M103 inline-six, which was then swapped for a 5.4-liter M117 from a 560 SEC/L of the era. AMG then bored, polished, blueprinted, and balanced the all-aluminum engine’s internals and swapped the stock single-cam, two-valve-per-cylinder heads for its own free-breathing, twin-cam, four-valve-per-cylinder units. The bored and stroked engine meant Mercedes-Benz had to use Porsche 928 pistons for the new design and their own head gasket design to boot. The firewall modifications are shown in the gallery and indicate how AMG had to cut and hammer the first firewall so the engine would fit in the bay appropriately. Modules, battery, and wiring had to be moved elsewhere to make room for the larger heads as AMG stuffed heat insulation between the modified firewall and the rear of the engine. A unique tubular header design was used to expel exhaust gasses at a faster and higher rate letting the engine exhale better to generate more power. These DOHC M117 engines have their own larger intake manifolds as the engine is both larger and has double the camshafts. Detailed photos of the engine bay are provided showing the AMG valve covers with “300 6.0 28” stamped on the side. A pair of spare AMG heads are included in the sale and shown in the gallery. The seller notes the car had been stored for years until he bought the car in 2020 and has slowly been going through its systems to get it road ready. DIsplaying 29,423 original miles at the time of listing, recent services include complete ignition overhaul, fuel system overhaul, BOSCH fuel injectors, fuel regulators, filters, air bypass lines, EHA valve, coolant reservoir, new radiator, drive belts, fan clutch, and fluids. The oil and filter were replaced along with coolant. This Hammer appears to have an o-ring failure between the multi-piece heads and will need a head gasket service for it to be able to make long drives. It will drive for approximately thirty minutes before the engine temperature rises beyond the normal mark. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a re-valved four-speed 722.3 transmission from a W126 with a Torsen limited-slip differential and a reinforced rear subframe to withstand the chassis flex and reduce squat. Detailed recent service records, a pair of spare AMG heads, three keys, a Barry Taylor importation sheet, tool kit, fire extinguisher, manufacturer’s literature, in-period magazine articles, spare wheel, fitted car cover, a spare Concord CX70 head unit, and a clean California title in the owner’s name accompany the sale. This 1987 Mercedes Benz 6.0 AMG Hammer is a new listing on The MB Market by a private seller in Concord, California.


1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

Born of a desire for Ferrari to compete in the FIA’s hotly contested and wildly popular Group B, the 288 GTO was designed with motorsport in mind from the outset, with the need for at least 200 production cars to be produced alongside the competition cars. Unfortunately, due to Group B’s sheer danger to drivers and spectators alike, the series was cancelled at short notice, leaving Ferrari with a fully developed and homologated car, but no series in which to compete. Nevertheless, the public’s appetite for such a car was unchanged, and all told less than 300 cars were built, in what turned out to be the lowest production of any Ferrari hypercar. The 288 GTO was a highly purposeful and powerful car upon first glance. Clothed in a mix of aluminum and Kevlar composite bodywork, at its heart was a race-bred 2.8-liter V-8 engine with twin IHI turbochargers, capable of producing a then-monstrous 400 horsepower and 366 pound-feet of torque. The 288 GTO could rocket to a top speed of 189 mph, making it the fastest road car ever produced at the time of its unveiling. Its acceleration was equally impressive, and the car could reach 60 mph from a standstill in just 4.8 seconds and 100 mph in 10.2 seconds. Like its successors in later years, the 288 GTO was the fastest and most attractive car money could buy. This 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO, Chassis № 58337, was found hidden away in a quiet North Carolina town, stored inside its custom-built matching truck and trailer. Its first and only owner, Mr. Williamson, would arrive at the factory gates in Maranello in 1986 to pick up his brand new GTO. Williamson and his first wife would drive 92 miles to Padova, on Italian tourist license plates EE 196 AK. As the GTO was never produced as a US legal car, while in Padova, Williamson commissioned the engineering genius of Giulianno Michelotto—the same outfit who developed the 288 GTO and eventually the F40—to convert the new Supercar to “racing” configuration. Williamson would keep the original wheels, tires, seats, insurance paperwork, tourist plate and even the hotel receipt. Williamson would never officially race the GTO. It was rarely seen, save for a few Ferrari Club of America events at Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen and Summit Point during the late 1980s and early 1990s, as well as some local events. The car was never restored, never registered, and wears its first paint and a time capsule leather and cloth interior. It was started once a month and serviced yearly. Showing just over 12,000 carefully documented and loved kilometers. The car would live with Williamson for 40 years. This unparalleled 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO is now available for sale at Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami at a price upon inquiry.

1958 Porsche 356 A Speedster

In response to a request by North American importer Max Hoffmann, Porsche built the 356 Speedster as a cheaper and more sporting alternative to the Coupe and Cabriolet. It had a cut-down windshield that could be easily removed, a lightweight removable top, and side curtains instead of roll-up windows featured in the 356 Cabriolet. Though a success from its introduction, it didn’t hit its peak popularity until the introduction of the 356 A Speedster in 1956. Production would continue until changing tastes led to the more usable 356 A Convertible D in 1959. Finished in its factory-correct Meissen Blue over Red leather interior, this 1958 Porsche 356 A Speedster retains its original matching-numbers Super engine and has been treated to a no-expense-spared Porsche Classic Center restoration totaling over $300,000. Every element of the car was addressed to concours standards. Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this example currently shows just 876 miles since the completion of its restoration. It is now being offered by Young Motorcars in Scottsdale at an asking price on request.


1995 McLaren F1

From the moment the McLaren F1 was launched at the Monaco Sporting Club during the 1992 Monaco Grand Prix—priced at $1 million including taxes—it caught the attention of the world’s media, many of whom dubbed it “The Car of the Century,” capable of accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in 3.2 secs, hitting 320 km/h in 28 secs. Britain’s Autocar magazine wrote, “the McLaren F1 … may possibly be the fastest production car the world will ever see.”And it remains so to this day, for a normally-aspirated car. It also caught the attention of automobile connoisseurs, who had placed their orders before a seven-year production run started at Woking in 1992, ending in 1998 with 106 built (inclusive of 64 road cars, 28 GTRs, 6 LMs, 3 GTs, and 5 prototypes). The Beatles’ George Harrison, Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason, and fashion guru Ralph Lauren were among them. This car, № 062, was delivered to Oracle software CEO Larry Ellison and has had only two subsequent San Francisco-area owners during which time it has covered just under 6,500 miles from new. Chassis № 062 is offered with a number of McLaren Special Operations upgrades in addition to including upgraded radiators, air conditioning, aluminium fuel tanks, and a sports exhaust (the original exhaust accompanies the car). It remains on its original magnesium wheels, with a spare set finished in matte black. It is accompanied by the original owner’s manuals, the original luggage set, the tool roll, a travel suitcase, garment bag, car cover, F1-branded Auto Glym detailing kit, the service modem/laptop, and torque wrench. In March of this year, a detailed condition report was carried out by Kevin Hines, the factory-authorized McLaren F1 technician based at McLaren Philadelphia (the only service centre with a McLaren F1-certified technician and the only facility outside McLaren Special Operations in Woking where servicing and repairs can be carried out in a factory-approved manner on an F1). This report (which is available for inspection to qualified bidders) summarized that “it is evident that this vehicle has been well cared for during its current and previous ownership, being in very good cosmetic and mechanical condition.” Under advisement of the report, the car’s windshield was replaced with a correct, original style windscreen sourced from McLaren Special Operations in the UK. Further to the report, the car’s exceptional history file includes numerous invoices and documents dating back to the original Ameritech invoice to Ellison for the purchase of the car in 1997. This 1995 McLaren F1 has been carefully looked after by its three private owners, all prominent figures in their respective industries, with no expenses spared regarding maintenance and upgrades. № 062 remains as one of seven F1s road legal in California and perhaps more significantly, one that has been California registered since new, with each of its three owners residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is now open for sealed bids through RM Sotheby’s Private Sales, closing at 6:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday, August 16, 2025.


1968 BMW 1600 GT

Before BMW AG acquired vehicle manufacturer, Hans Glas GmbH, Maggiora produced bodies for the Glas 1300, a grand touring automobile produced in Dingolfing, Germany, and sold in limited numbers. With its distinctive fastback coupe body designed by the renowned Pietro Frua, this peculiar yet aesthetically pleasing model was manufactured for less than 14 months, during which a mere 1,259 units were produced at the Maggiora factory located near Turin, Italy. In 1966, BMW took over Glas’s operations and continued to manufacture the GT from September 1967 to August 1968. During this time, BMW utilized their own drivetrain and rear axle components. These updates to Frua’s original design, including the automaker’s signature double-kidney grille, roundel badges, and taillights shared with the BMW 1602 distinguished the BMW 1600 GT from the original Glas models. BMW also improved the vehicle with a 12-volt electrical system, an independent rear suspension, four-speed manual transmission, and a 1.6-liter carbureted four-cylinder engine generating 103 horsepower. The resulting 1600 GT offered enhanced power and handling compared to its predecessor, but it did not sell well. BMW discontinued the 1600 GT after the 1968 model year, and it was never officially made available in the United States. Since then, only a few have been imported by collectors or enthusiasts.This 1968 BMW 1600 GT is fully restored in its original Granada Red exterior color over black vinyl upholstery. It has recently been expertly renewed by European specialists, Oldenzaal Classics in the Netherlands. Their exceptional attention to authentic detail is evident in features like the 14″ chrome wheels with BMW hubcaps, front disc brakes, perforated headliner, metric VDO instrumentation, wood-rimmed steering wheel, and period-correct radio. Included with the vehicle are comprehensive German ownership and restoration records, German-language owner’s manual, and two sets of keys. This 1968 BMW 1600 GT can be found at Singleton Classics in Costa Mesa, California at an asking price of $92,500.

1970 Porsche 911S Targa

The 1970 model year introduced an updated Porsche 911 featuring a larger 2.2-liter flat-six engine. The model range was topped by the high-performance 911S variant, featuring a rear anti-roll bar, larger ventilated disc brakes, Koni shocks, Fuchs alloy wheels, and a fuel-injected 180 HP engine. This 1970 Porsche 911S Targa is one of only 729 produced for the model year. It was sold new in Italy and was purchased by the seller in 2008. It underwent refurbishment between 2018 and 2024, including a full engine rebuild with upgraded JE pistons, a Dansk sport muffler, and a fender-mounted oil cooler. It came finished from the factory in Black [700], with one previous repaint. Additional exterior features include a brushed stainless-steel Targa bar, a removable vinyl-covered roof panel, chrome wheel arch moldings, aluminum rocker panel trim, chrome “sugar scoop” headlamp bezels, chrome bumperettes with rubber overriders, a driver’s side mirror, front vent windows, a fender-mounted antenna, and 15″ Fuchs alloy wheels dressed in Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tires. The antenna, wiper arms, and rear model designation were replaced by the current owner. A full paint correction was performed in preparation for the sale, and the exterior is described to be in excellent overall condition, apart from a chip on the passenger door sill. The black leatherette interior was professionally refurbished in 2024 with new carpeting, seat rails, and door panels, along with new upholstery for the seats and dashboard. The shift bushings, seatbelts, pedal board, and accelerator pedal were also replaced. Accessories include front comfort seats, folding rear seatbacks, a four-spoke leather steering wheel, analog VDO instrument dials, a heater, and a locking glovebox. The seller notes the radio has been removed, and the speedometer works intermittently at speeds below 30 kilometers per hour. The mileage was reset to zero on the odometer upon completion of the engine rebuild, and the car’s true mileage is unknown. The owner’s manuals, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean title accompany the sale of this 1970 Porsche 911S Targa, listed on PCARMARKET by a private party in Houston with three days left to bid.


1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupé Adaptation

The Silver Cloud III represented a watershed moment for Rolls-Royce. Still traditionally crafted with wood-framed bodywork, a whisper-quiet engine, and opulent interior, it also represented the company’s first nods towards contemporary styling, with quad headlamps, a lowered hood and radiator shell, smaller bumpers, and separate front seats. No offering exemplified the Silver Cloud III’s straddling of two worlds better than the Drophead Coupé Adaptation, crafted by H.J. Mulliner’s Willesden, London works. A continuation of the similar style introduced extremely late in Silver Cloud I production and used exclusively on the Silver Cloud II, it was known as an “Adaptation” because it thoroughly hand-massaged and reworked the factory Standard Steel Saloon body panels and inner structure. Not long into the Silver Cloud III’s production run, Rolls-Royce debuted a completely redesigned Drophead Coupé. Thus, the Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupé Adaptation was scarce even when new, with just 37 examples produced; 27 of which were left-hand-drive. This 1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Adaptation comes from long-term Southern California ownership with its original, period-correct ‘Black Plate’ registration (pre-1973). Refinished in in its original Garnet color with a new Tan convertible top, its quad headlights flank a rare kneeling Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament atop its signature waterfall grille. Flowing contours are further accented by reflective ‘Sundym’ tinted glass, chrome brightwork, and whitewall tires. The interior has been reuholstered in Beige Connolly leather and is overlaid with Burlwood trim and plush mohair headlining. A dash-mounted tachometer and altimeter (replacing original dashboard cubby boxes) and ‘H.J. Mulliner Coachwork’ monogrammed door sill plates add an enthusiast touch. Front/rear individual seat configuration, air conditioning, power windows, folding picnic tables, and an AM/FM radio provide the top amenities of its era. Beneath the hood, an all-aluminum 6.2-liter V8 drives the rear wheels, paired with an automatic transmission. Showing 32,409 miles at the time of cataloguing, the car benefits from maintenance performed by Rolls-Royce specialist workshops. Exhaustive records and a Seller’s Disclosure, as well as included tools and spare parts, accompany the sale. It’s being offered here on SOMO by West Coast Classics in Torrance, California with the auction closing August 21, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EDT.


2009 Cadillac CTS-V

After decades of unsuccessful attempts to lure buyers of European luxury cars, Cadillac finally scored a hit with the CTS. Built on a platform shared with the Saab 95 and Opel Omega and skinned in the “Art & Science” design language of the day, the CTS began to get noticed. A peppy 255-hp V6 combined with a Gertrag 5-speed manual and traditional front-engine/rear-drive layout performed admirably, though no one would confuse it for a 3-Series. However a year after its introduction, the CTS-V delivered the kind of performance that journalists and enthusiasts had been desperate to see from an American automaker. The first generation CTS-V was equipped with the 400-hp 5.7-liter LS6 V-8 from the C5 Corvette Z06 (later the C6’s 6.0-liter LS2), mated to a Tremec T56 6-speed manual or six-speed, electronically-controlled automatic transmission with overdrive and 3.23 gearing with limited slip, along with 14.4/14.6″ rotors and Brembo 4-piston calipers front and rear, higher spring rates, stiffer anti-roll bars, six-lug hubs, and two available damper packages, as well as subtle exterior changes. Cadillac upped the game with the second generation in 2009. Power now came from a 556-hp 6.2-liter LSA V-8 based on the LS9 V-8 from the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1. Ride and handling were also improved with a new MagneRide suspension and larger Brembo brakes. In the now well-known Cadillac CTS-V challenge, Bob Lutz, then vice chairman of marketing and communications at GM, invited owners of high-performance sedans from Europe and Japan to throw down at Monticello Raceway in New York. Driving his own 2009 CTS-V at 77 years old, he took on and beat the likes of Audi, BMW and Jaguar (losing only to a 21-year-old with exceptional driving skills in a BMW M3). With only 3,035 made in 2009, the CTS-V remains a desirable performance car today. This 2009 Cadillac CTS-V comes from a single owner who reportedly kept it garaged and drove it sparingly—7,944 miles at the time of listing—and only under fair-weather conditions. Finished in its original Raven Black [41U], the car remains entirely unmolested and original. It is fitted with the optional 19″ polished forged aluminum wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Sports. The cabin is upholstered in Ebony leather [195] with suede inserts. Appointments include ZF speed-sensitive rack and pinion power steering, optional Recaro 14-way ventilated performance seats and performance metal pedals, an optional suede-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a Bose 5.1 surround AM/FM/CD/DVD infotainment system with optional navigation, a 10-speaker surround sound system, and an Ultraview sunroof with power shade. The car is said to have been meticulously maintained, with the oil changed every year regardless of miles.This 2009 Cadillac CTS-V is now available on Hagerty Marketplace out of Farmingdale, New York with the auction closing August 22, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.

1977 Porsche 924 Championship Edition

After things didn’t go as planned with the rear-mid-engine 914, it’s a wonder that Porsche would choose to jointly develop another car with Volkswagen. Yet under their Vertriebsgesellschaft (“sales company,” or VG), what was then knows as Project 425 began. The idea, as it was with the 914, was to give Porsche a higher margin entry-level model while Volkswagen could expand their product line with a sportier replacement for the aging Karmann Ghia. This time Volkswagen pulled out of the project to pursue what would become the Scirocco. Nevertheless, Porsche soldiered on, buying the design outright but continuing to use the Volkswagen-developed 2.0-liter water-cooled inline-4. At the time, the engine was used in the Audi 100 family car. It would also be found in Volkswagen’s LT commercial truck as well as the AMC Gremlin, Concord, Spirit, and Postal Jeeps. Built at the Audi facility in Neckarsulm, the Porsche 924 made its debut at a November 1975 press launch at the harbor at La Grande Motte, Camargue in the south of France. Journalists praised the handling but were less enthusiastic about its powerplant and primitive 4-speed gearbox (also Audi sourced). Much like the 914 before it, the Volkswagen roots never allowed the 924 to be accepted as a “true” Porsche. Porsche’s marketing department recognized this and made a number of attempts to more closely associate its entry-level car to its racing heritage. One of these was leveraging the 911-based 935’s 1976 World Sportscar Championship victory and their partnership with Martini & Rossi. In 1977, Porsche adorned 3,000 copies of the 924 with the liquor brand’s iconic “Martini” racing stripes streaking down the side of car, Polizeiweiß (Police White) exterior, and matching painted wheels. The livery continued in the cabin through red carpets and blue-piped black vinyl seats with red cloth inserts and Martini stripes on the headrests, along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a plaque noting Porsche’s sportscar racing success. The E19 option code also included front and rear sway bars to further improve handling. This 1977 Porsche 924 Martini Championship Edition is said to be all original inside and out. It was fitted with (working) factory air conditioning, a rare option at the time. It is also retains its (working) factory AM/FM/Cassette radio. Its three-owner history includes long-term care by its second owner, who purchased the car from the showroom floor with 1,000 miles. It remains in its original unrestored condition. It is said to have been garaged its entire life, though some typical dash cracks have nevertheless formed. Currently showing around 30,000 miles, the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, the fuel system has been sorted with a new fuel pump, fuel accumulator, and injectors. Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor have also been replaced as have the brake pads and rotors, as well as the front and rear struts. Restored 8-spoke 14″ alloy wheels are dressed in fresh Falken rubber. Extensive service records accompany the car. A first-in-class champion at Wheels Across the Pond (in the aircooled class!), this 1977 Porsche 924 Championship Edition is now being sold here on The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) out of Jupiter, Florida at an asking price of $25,000.


1969 Citroën DS 21 Pallas

The Citroën DS (in Citroën’s cheeky way, DS is pronounced déesse, or goddess) debuted in 1955. Designed by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni, it stunned the world with its futuristic styling and advanced technology. The Pallas trim, introduced in 1964, added premium features such as upgraded interior materials, additional sound insulation, and distinctive exterior trim, including stainless steel accents and unique badging. By 1969, the DS 21 Pallas had evolved into a luxurious and refined version of the original. It featured a 2.1-liter inline-4 engine paired with Citroën’s signature hydropneumatic suspension system, which provided an exceptionally smooth ride and self-leveling capabilities. As Road & Track commented about the DS 21, “Its ride quality is unmatched, and its styling is like nothing else on the road.” The DS 21’s engine was backed by a hydraulically actuated semi-automatic transmission, known as the “Citromatique,” which further enhanced the car’s futuristic appeal. This Citroën DS 21 was delivered in 1969 through the newly established dealership Citroën Cars of Beverly Hills. Specially commissioned by René France, then director of Citroën USA, the car served as his personal demonstrator and was outfitted with a number of rare and distinctive features — including a striking, special-order tan vinyl roof. After three months and 10,087 miles of use, in June 1969, France sold the DS 21 to television and Disney actor Ken Berry, known for his roles in F-Troop and Herbie Rides Again. Mr. Berry would keep the car until his passing in 2018. The third and current owner then acquired the car from the estate. It has been refinished once in the 1969-only Brun Ecorce [AC 401] paint. The interior meanwhile has been reupholstered in its factory Natural Tan leather in addition to new carpets, new headlining, and new door panels. The 108-hp 2.1-liter “DX” engine was rebuilt. Other work performed in 2013 included a rebuilt centrifugal regulator for the shifter, new Mahle cylinder liners, new pistons, a refurbished cam, a replacement Citromatic-Drive gearbox with a stronger DS 23 clutch, a high-volume hydraulic pump, new suspension spheres all around, and a rebuilt power steering system. Invoices from 1969 to date accompany the sale, along with the original operator’s manual (in French), original Warranty and Maintenance Booklet, Ken Berry’s warranty card, a car cover, and a box of oils, lubes, and other useful items. This award-winning 1969 Citroën DS 21 Pallas is now being offered on Hagerty Marketplace with the auction closing August 19, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.


1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II

Jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz, Cosworth Engineering, and AMG, the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II represents a high-water mark in the pre-millennium European performance cars. Few and far between, just 502 examples were originally produced to meet homologation requirements for the German Touring Championship (DTM). The Evo II’s performance upgrades included a high-revving 2.5L inline-four-cylinder capable of delivering up to 232hp at 7,800rpm, thanks to upgraded 16-valve heads and engine management, paired with a ‘dogleg’5-speed manual transmission. Further enhancements to the platform tallied Brembo four-piston brakes and adjustable self-leveling suspension; but most prominently, a specially designed aero kit comprised of an adjustable front splitter, rear spoiler, and side fenders designed to maximize downforce. The extravagant body kit drew immediate protest from rival DTM contenders, citing the key advantage it provided Mercedes-Benz. Notably, BMW’s Head of Research, Wolfgang Reitzle, reportedly stated “if that rear wing works, we’ll have to redesign our wind tunnel.” This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.6-16 Evolution II, № 112 of 502, was originally a German-market example before finding its way to the United Kingdom. Entering the collection of British singer and celebrity car enthusiast, Jay Kay, the car’s inner glove compartment lid bears the Jamiroquai frontman’s autograph. Following subsequent export to the United States in 2023, the clean Carfax history shows registrations in Florida and Texas. Finished in DB 199 Blauschwartz Metallic (Black Pearl in US markets), the car presents in unmodified condition, reflecting no significant changes from new. Interior features build upon the W201-generation sedan’s existing qualities with subtle additions unique to the homologation model. Beneath its electric power sunroof, well-preserved appointments net a leather gearshift knob displaying the build number, triple lower dashboard gauges, and front/rear leather seating. It’s been modified with an aftermarket Kenwood stereo head unit. With 48,945 kilometers (30,413 miles) displayed at the time of cataloging, recent maintenance includes services to the air conditioning and cooling system, as well as its hydraulic suspension. Service records from current ownership accompany the sale, along with a Seller’s Disclosure, tools, and factory accessories. Seldom coming to market in the US, this 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II is now available here on SOMO by a dealer in Houston, with the auction closing August 21, 2025 at 5:15 p.m. EDT.

1989 Singer Classic Turbo

Singer Vehicle Design, located in Torrance, California, started from humble beginnings with its first restoration presented at Monterey, California’s annual Car Week. The 911-based “recommission” quickly sparked a frenzy of orders that spanned over the course of 13 years, with lead times often in the multiple of years to get a customized example. Later, the Design Lightweight Study (DLS) was introduced, increasing the use of carbon fiber, magnesium, and titanium, along with an 500-hp naturally-aspirated engine developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. Then, in 2022, Singer revealed a widely anticipated variant to the world, finally bringing turbocharging to their series of recommissions: The Singer Classic Turbo. This Classic Turbo This 1989 Singer Turbo Classic recommission represents a rare opportunity to take delivery without waiting. It was specified in the Paint-to-Sample “Black Eye Darker”, a deep purple metallic color over its carbon fiber body panels, with a Bone leather interior. Spec’d in the Touring trim, this Singer’s engine was uprated to the Sport’s 503-hp 3.8L twin-turbo flat six engine, and the Touring interior, which includes the Singer heritage seats that pay homage to the original Porsche 930 Turbo. A 6-speed manual transmission routes power to only the rear wheels. The car is in new condition, with only 443 miles added since completion. A majority of those miles were accumulated during Singer’s QA process. This 1989 Singer Classic Turbo is now available for immediate delivery here at Canepa in Scotts Valley California at an asking price on inquiry.


1988 BMW M6

While the luxury sports car was not a new concept in the mid ’70s, it may as well not have existed until the E24 BMW 6-Series. Upon its launch in 1976 it immediately became the category’s standard-bearer and would remain so for decades (even vis à vis its successors, the E31 8-Series and E63 6-Series). Its Paul Bracq design picked up on the preceding E9’s elegance and sharpened its lines, giving it a more agressive “shark nose” while the more angular greenhouse gave it that much more grace. Its not surprising that it would “inspire” a number of copycats (lookin’ at you, G10 Ford Thunderbird). This, combined with its silky straight-6 engines and McPherson strut suspensions, brought some much-needed excitement to the ’70s and early ’80s malaise era. That excitement was amped up considerably when the M Division did their thing with it in the form of the M635CSi (M6 in North America and Japan). Europe and other parts of the world got to enjoy the ultimate benefit of the M1 supercar’s 282-hp M88, while North Americans would have to “settle” for the 256-hp S38 due to emissions regulations. All cars shared a 5-speed manual gearbox (while the majority of non-M North American cars were fitted with automatics), 16″ BBS RS wheels, a rear lip spoiler, a larger front air dam, larger front brakes and a revised suspension with a 10 mm lower ride height. This 1988 BMW M6 is finished in Cinnabar Red, and the paint is said to remain in excellent original condition apart from some small chips on the lower front chin spoiler. Equipment includes chrome trim pieces, quad handlamps, an M6 grille badge, integrated fog lights, dual power mirrors, a sunroof, and dual center-mounted tailpipes. The seller adds that the rare Michelin TRX GT-B tires were purchased new in 2017 and were kept in climate-controlled storage before being recently mounted. The cabin is appointed with Lotus White leather upholstery and matching carpets. Accessories include heated and power-adjustable front seats, individual rear seats, a four-spoke leather steering wheel, power windows and door locks, front and rear air conditioning, an onboard computer, M-specific instrumentation, and a factory cassette stereo. The seller notes that all gauges and accessories are fully functional, and some minor stains are present on the carpeting. Showing an impressive 18,358 miles at the time of listing, the seller indicates that the original owner kept all service documentation dating back to the initial purchase. Those records are included in the sale, as are the original owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, a battery trickle charger, sales documents, and a clean title. This 1988 BMW M6 can be found consigned by a dealer in Issaquah, Washington on PCARMARKET with five days left to bid.


2005 Aston Martin DB9

By the late 1980s it was obvious Aston Martin would need to increase production to survive. The answer came with the advent of Ford Motor Company’s acquisition in 1989, now also the parent of Jaguar. After a more than 20-year hiatus, the DB moniker would return (sequentially) as the DB7. It used a modified Jaguar XJS platform shared with the Jaguar XK8 (X100). Based on the XK41 concept car of 1992, the DB7 was launched in 1994, with the XK8 following two years later. Initially offered with a supercharged 3.2-liter 32-valve straight-6, the DB7 Vantage would debut with all new 420-hp, 6.0-liter V12. This engine would evolve into its successor, the DB9, but not much more of the DB7 would carry over. Aston Martin marketed the DB9 as such a leap from its predecessor, it skipped past the idea of a DB8 (in reality, an ‘8’ could be mistakenly associated with the number of cylinders, and the AM11 V12, now capable of 450 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, was unmistakably the centerpiece). That said, the DB9 did have considerable advances over the DB7, starting with a body that weighed 25 percent less yet had twice the torsional rigidity, thanks to its aluminum bonnet, roof, and rear fenders, as well as composite-construction front fenders and boot lid. Advanced carbon ceramic brakes provided better response with a longer life, as well as improved performance with virtually no fade. Furthermore, the DB9 was the first Aston Martin to be developed on the VH (Vertical / Horizontal) Platform, separating it from its Jaguar cousin. In another first, it was the first Aston Martin to be built in the marque’s new factory at Gaydon, Warwickshire. This 2005 Aston Martin DB9 has been with a single owner until February of this year. Finished in Tungsten Silver (as the DBS cars in the Bond films were), № 00753 came factory equipped with 19″ wheels, Red brake calipers, and rain sensors. The interior is upholstered in Obsidian Black leather and appointed with heated and power-adjustable front seats, mahogany wood trim, a navigation system, and cruise control. Displaying 32,003 miles, its service history shows routine maintenance, including regular engine oil and filter changes, complete brake pad and rotor replacement, a fresh battery, a four-wheel alignment, and repair of the engine wiring harness. A service book accompanies the sale, along with two keys with fobs, one valet key, the owner’s manual, Aston Martin Workshop and Parts Manuals, DB9 sales brochure, Aston Martin Colour and Trim brochure, an Aston Martin-branded battery charger, navigation DVDs (original and latest map update), and miscellaneous hardware. Arguably one of the best supercar bargains out there, this 2005 Aston Martin DB9 is listed here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in Greenville, Michigan with the auction closing August 13, 2025 at 1:35 p.m. EDT.

1959 356 A Cabriolet

Closely related to the Volkswagen Beetle, which Ferdinand Porsche Sr. had designed in the mid-1930s, the 356 utilized many VW components—primarily in its driveline and suspension—as well as its rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration. But what began as a close cousin, or perhaps offspring, of The People’s Car soon evolved into a world-class sports car, as well as a regular race winner. The first “formal” production 356 (now referred to as pre-A), introduced in 1950, was followed by the 356 A in 1956. Carrying over the Coupe, Cabriolet and Speedster body styles, it was outwardly identical to the previous version except for the wider tires, a small rub-strip below the doors, a fully-curved front windscreen and enamel paint replacing lacquer. Underneath, however, there was a new 1,582 cc engine and a thoroughly revised suspension. A year later, the T2 body brought subtle changes such as teardrop taillamps and the exhaust routing through the rear bumper over-riders. The 356 A would continue to be refined until its final year in 1959 before being replaced by the 356 B. This 1959 Porsche 356 A Cabriolet was delivered new to Hoffman Motors Corporation in New York and spent time in Florida before it was acquired by the seller in 2019. A subsequent refurbishment consisted of a repaint in its factory Meissen Blue, along with a replacement black convertible top, a matching boot cover, a single-grille engine lid, gold Porsche 1600 badging, LED headlights and taillights, and body-color bumpers with chrome overriders. The car rides on 15″ ventilated wheels dressed in Michelin XZX tires ahead of Koni Classic shocks. The cabin features seating re-trimmed in tan leather, as well as matching door panels, a darker upper dashboard, and beige square-weave carpeting. Black Coco mats line the floor. Additional appointments include vent windows, fold-down rear seats, a locking glove box, and lap belts with Porsche-crest buckles. The two-spoke steering wheel frames green letter VDO instrumentation that includes a central 6,000-rpm tachometer. The numbers-matching 1.6-liter motor and 4-speed gearbox were rebuilt. Engine rebuild records accompany the sale, along with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, Reutter Certificate of Production, a copy of the Kardex, and a clean Florida title assigned to the seller’s trust. Find this 1959 Porsche 356 A Cabriolet here on The Mart (Porsche Club of America Classifieds) at a (perhaps 2 optimistic) asking price of $222,222.


2009 BMW 535i xDrive Sports Wagon

Following in the footsteps of what many consider to be the best of all BMW 5-Series generations—the E39 (1995 – 2003)—was never going to be easy, but when its replacement, the E60, was introduced, it was widely considered an abomination. In line with the Bangle-era design language, it was quickly dubbed Dame Edna for its winged headlamp treatment and of course, its tail was not-so-affectionately called Bangle-butt, like its 7-series sibling. A 2007 facelift only mildly helped. These disparagements were largely aimed at the sedan, whereas with the Touring (wagon) variant (E61) the design somehow worked. Years later, as was Mr. Bangle’s intent, both the sedan and wagon have come into their own, with some even declaring them “handsome” and “stylish.” Regardless of its looks, the true beauty of the E60 lay in the M5 version with its V10 engine, the first and only M5 ever to be so equipped. Producing 500 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, it was intended to be a mic drop vis à vis its competitors from Mercedes-Benz AMG and Audi, among others. Only 9,885 units of the E61 were sold in the United States; none of them M5s. Fortunately some owners took matters into their own hands, converting their 535i wagons to M5 spec. This 2009 BMW 535i xDrive Sports Wagon is such an example. Finished from the factory in an attractive Deep Green Metallic, it was nearing end-of-life (close to 250,000 miles) before undergoing extensive modifications to come close to the forbidden-fruit E61 M5. Appearance-wise that included 19″ Style 166M wheels, E61 M5-sourced front bumper, front fenders, rear bumper, and side mirror housings, an E61 M5-sourced rear floor pan with included sound deadening and support beam, a power tailgate, and “M5” tailgate badge. The Black interior features heated and ventilated front sport seats, Carrara wood interior trim, black suede headliner, an E61 M5-sourced instrument cluster, an E61 M5-sourced steering wheel with Deep Green Metallic trim, night vision retrofit, and a red start/stop button. The most notable modifications came with an E61 M5-sourced S85 V10 engine, an E61 M5-sourced 6-speed manual transmission, an E61 M5-sourced catalytic converters and midpipe, and an E61 M5-sourced limited-slip differential. The BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system was removed and an aftermarket rear muffler was installed. The suspension was swapped for an E61 M5-sourced Electronic Damping Control (EDC) system, while the brakes, calipers, rotors, and pads were sourced from an F82 M2. The Carfax report shows a prior accident and odometer discrepancy due to the instrument cluster swap, but as the car has been almost entirely rebuilt, those things are pretty much moot. This 2009 BMW 535i xDrive Sport Wagon M5 “tribute” is here on Cars & Bids in Round Lake, Illinois with the auction ending August 8, 2025 at 4:50 p.m. EDT.


1984 Alfa Romeo Alfetta Quadrifoglio Oro

In 1972, Alfa Romeo unveiled a remarkably sophisticated, modern sedan. With its minimalistic and assertive lines (courtesy of the brand’s Centro Stile), it was at once compact and roomy enough for five adults. With its De Dion tube rear suspension, first celebrated in Manuel Fangio’s F1 World Champion Alfetta 158 and 159, Alfa Romeo deemed the new sedan worthy of the name Alfetta. Other mechanical advances included a transaxle layout and rear brakes placed “on-board” to give the car a perfectly balanced 50/50 weight distribution. Initially equipped with “milleotto” (1800-cc) engines, the cutting edge of mechanical sophistication came with the launch of the “Quadrifoglio Oro” version in 1983. The twin-shaft “duemila” (2000-cc) was equipped with cam phasing (patented by Alfa Romeo) built into the electronic injection, a world first. This 1984 Alfa Romeo Alfetta Quadrifiglio Oro was first registered on July 6th of that year, purchased by a company that used the car sparingly. It wears a repaint in its original Grey Metallic [755], described as “good,” with signs of wear and general aging. The interior is upholstered in Grey velour with wood accents and a wood steering wheel. It looks to be in all original condition, showing minor wear consistent with age and mileage. Power comes from a 130-hp 2000 cc fuel-injected inline-4 mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Displaying 123,644 kilometers (76,829 miles) at the time of cataloguing, the car has been stationary for some time and will require a service, however it is said to be mechanically sound. This 1984 Alfa Romeo Alfetta Quadrifoglio Oro is located in Reggio Emilia, Italy and represented by an agent in Fort Lauderdale. Find it here on Catawiki with the auction ending in four days.

1987 Porsche 944

Using the successful “race on Sunday, sell on Monday” approach that it had employed with its air-cooled rear-engine 356 and 911, Porsche entered the water-cooled “transaxle” 924 at Le Mans in 1980. It needed to homologate a race car to meet Group 4 racing regulations. This was the 924 Carrera GT, noted for the flared fenders accommodating wider wheels and tires. At the time, box flares were commonly seen in competition cars, but a year later, in 1981, they had made their way onto the production 944, the 924’s replacement, when it debuted at Le Mans that year. The racy, aggressive look was an instant hit and gave Porsche a much-needed sales boost to its entry-level car in the face of fierce competition from the likes of the Datsun 280ZX and Mazda RX-7. As attractive as the styling was, more significant was what lay beneath. While still built at Audi’s Neckarsulm plant, the new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine was now entirely Porsche, effectively half of the 928’s V8. This, combined with its transaxle handling, found high praise with both press and public. It put to rest some of the chatter that a front-engine water-cooled car should not be considered a real Porsche, a stigma that stayed with the 924 throughout its life, despite turbocharging and other refinements. What did carry over from the 924 was its interior, at least for the first three years. Though perfectly functional, it was parts-bin to begin with and was quickly dated. But, with the 944 now earning its keep, this was remedied midway through 1985 with a much sleeker dash, console, and door trim, a treatment that would stay through its evolution into the 968. This 1987 Porsche 944 wears its original single-stage Guards Red factory paint that is said to be in beautiful condition, showing some “honest” 38-year-old wear. The 16″ “phone dial” wheels are original and unrestored. All seals and rubber are original with no cracking and still soft. The car was ordered with a rare factory leather interior option ($3,370 in 1987 dollars) that extends leather to all seats, the door cards, under the dash, and console and full leather seats front and rear. Additional appointments include a Blaupunkt Charelston radio with working cassette, central locking, automatic speed control, and electric sunroof. The engine bay is reportedly in show condition. With an impressive 19,472 miles covered by three owners, all maintenance is said to be up to date with detailed records. The original window sticker, the pay off letter to the first owner from Porsche financial services in 1992, the bill of sale to the second owner in 1995, a copy of the second owner’s title, registration, repair receipts and transfer of title from MI to FL in 1998, and all original parts that were replaced accompany the sale of this 1987 Porsche 944, here on The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) at an asking price of $32,000.


1999 Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG

Mercedes-Benz upped the ante in 1998 in its ongoing battle with BMW’s M3. Taking advantage of its newly acquired majority stake in German tuner AMG, they dropped a V8 engine into its compact C-Class sedan. This gave it an over 60-horsepower advantage over the E36 M3 (US models with the comparatively anemic S52 motor), propelling the Baby Benz to 60 mph in under six seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. Best of all, the performance is cradled in the comforts of a Mercedes-Benz. The W202 C43 AMG is relatively rare with less than 1,500 coming off the line (the first AMG car to be built entirely at the Mercedes-Benz factory). This compares to over 12,000 E36 M3 sedans. This 1999 Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG comes finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic [744U] and equipped with the AMG Styling Package, Sport Equipment Package, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), 17″ AMG Monoblock wheels, rain sensor, heated screen wash system, a high-capacity battery, and Xenon headlamps with washers. The interior is upholstered in Exclusive Graphite/Anthracite leather, accented by wood trim and matching carpets. Appointments include heated multi-contour front seats, an electric sunroof, and automatic climate control. Its only modification is a Kenwood head unit, installed in 2022. Power comes from a 4.3-liter V8, rated at 302 hp and 302 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission. Its quirks and features are presented in an always entertaining review by Doug DeMuro. Displaying 79,705 miles at the time of listing, its recent maintenance history includes an engine oil and filter change, air filter and cabin air filter replacement, radiator replacement, transmission fluid change, brake fluid and differential fluid flush/change, and replacement of headlight bulbs, tail light bulbs, license plate light bulbs, brake light bulbs, cooling fan clutch, drive belt, fuel filter, spark plug wires, steering damper, and tie rods. Two keys with fobs, the owner’s manuals, original window sticker, and an AMG “Edition 1” steering wheel accompany the sale. This 1999 Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG is now being sold for charity at no reserve here on Cars & Bids with the auction ending August 7, 2025 at 1:25 p.m.


1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN6

Affectionately known as the “Big Healey,” the Austin-Healey 100 was introduced in 1953, so named for its impressive-for-the-day 100 mph top speed. Its sleek styling was a departure from the open-fendered British roadsters of its day and would endure for 16 years, through the 3000 Mark III. Initially powered by a 90-hp 2,660 cc inline-4, a big leap in the Big Healeys came in 1958 with the introduction of the 100-6. As the name implies, the 100-6 was now powered by an inline-6, capable of up to 117 hp while displacement remained largely the same (2,632 cc). With a 2″ longer wheelbase, the 100-6 was offered in two configurations: a 2+2 BN4 and the BN6 open two seater. This 1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN6 underwent a two-year restoration, completed in 2000. The car was restored using all the original parts, with no modifications; all the numbers match per a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate. More recently, the tires were replaced, a new clutch was installed, and a new stainless steel exhaust system was added. The Healey was subsequently taken to numerous shows and Healey Club events, where it has won several awards. Most notably, in 2000, it completed a 3,000-mile Healey Club Tour through Europe across England, France, Germany, and Switzerland. A folder containing all receipts and documentation of the work done over the years accompanies the sale, along with three keys (one for ignition, one for the trunk, and one for a lock box behind the seat, which holds extra parts for the car – next to the 12-volt battery). Find this 1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 listed here on ACC Auctions by Laguna Classic Cars, with one of Andy’s thorough reviews. Bidding closes in seven days.

1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 4

After the popularity of the G-modell 911 “Turbo Look” M491 option, Porsche returned with a widebody option for the next generation 964. And just as the M491 option closed out the final years of G-modell production, the 964 series was closed out in early 1994 with a small number of cars that could be ordered with special wide-body coachwork. These featured widened front fenders and rear quarter flares that resembled the Turbo but were not quite as broad while retaining the 964’s standard speed-activated rear spoiler. They were built for the North American market as a bridge to maintain sales of the 964 before its successor, the much-anticipated 993, could be sold here. This 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Widebody is one of the 267 built and came factory finished in Grand Prix White over Black leather and equipped with factory sport seats. It remains unmodified with the exception of Bilstein coilovers and a newer Porsche Classic radio. Showing 49,500 miles at the time of listing, it was freshly serviced in preparation for sale, which included a reseal, distributor, plugs and more. With a full service history, along with a 2025 Porsche Technical Certificate, this 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera Windebody is now being offered here on The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) out of Scottsdale at an asking price of $224,964.


1973 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 4.5

It’s been said often enough that no collection is complete without a Mercedes-Benz W108, even if that collection consists of a single car. It’s not hard to see why: timeless elegance, enduring build quality, and luxurious surrounds. Throughout its seven-year span, its primary evolution was limited to engine size, starting with a 2.5-liter M108 inline six and culminating in its final years with an available 4.5-liter M117 V8. This Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 4.5 comes from 1973 and, as its nameplate suggests, is equipped with the 195-hp fuel-injected 4.5-liter (4.520 cc) V8. It is finished in Reed Green [860] with chrome trim lining the bumpers, side sills, grille, and window frames, along with dual chrome exhaust tips. It rides on 14″ steel wheels with body-colored hubcaps. Some chips and scratches are noted around the exterior and on the hubcaps, and the underbody coating looks to be peeling. There is some rust on some of the underbody components. Sway bar end link bushings are also reportedly worn. The cabin is upholstered in Bamboo leather [249] and trimmed in Zebrano wood. Appointments include air conditioning, a Becker Grand Prix head unit, and power-operated windows. The interior shows some wear on the upholstery and on some of the interior touch points. Displaying 33,172 miles on a 5-digit odometer (likely rolled over), its most recent service history comes from 2021 when the fuel tank sending unit was replaced, along with the tires. The sale will include service records, three keys, the owner’s manuals, and a spare glovebox door. Find it listed here on Cars & Bids by a dealer in San Francisco.


1967 Austin Mini Cooper S

Developed by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), the Cooper S was a collaboration between Mini designer Alec Issigonis and racing legend John Cooper. The Mark 1 version, produced from 1963 to 1967, featured a 76-hp 1275cc engine, front disc brakes, and a lightweight, nimble chassis that made it a formidable competitor in motorsport. By 1967, the Mini Cooper S had already cemented its place in racing history. It famously won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965, and 1967 (the 1966 win was controversially disqualified). Its compact size and front-wheel-drive layout gave it an edge on tight, twisty courses, allowing it to outperform much larger and more powerful rivals. Beyond racing, the Mini Cooper S became a cultural icon, symbolizing 1960s British cool. Its blend of performance, affordability, and charm made it a favorite among enthusiasts and racers alike. This 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S is a left-hand-drive example that was delivered new in Santa Barbara, California. It came equipped with 10″ steel wheels dressed in polished hubcaps (now wearing 145-series Camac radials), a close-ratio four-speed manual transaxle, and power-assisted brakes. The car was refinished in its factory Almond Green and Old English White during previous ownership. Some paint chips and other imperfections in the finish, including debris in the paint, are noted. The Dove Grey and Porcelain Green vinyl interior features a wood-rimmed steering wheel, wooden shift knob, front lap belts, and a cabin heater. Some corrosion is visible in the truck compartment. The driver’s seat cushion cover, choke cable, carpets, and dual SU carburetors have been replaced under current ownership (since 2022 and accounting for 200 of the 95,055 miles shown). Service records accompany the sale, along with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, owner’s manual, original sales documents, and a spare brake booster. This 1967 Austin Mini Cooper is now open for bidding on Hagerty Marketplace in Mount Carmel, Tennessee with the auction closing August 13, 2025 at 3:20 p.m. EDT.

1976 Porsche 911S Targa

Ten years after the 911 made its premiere, the Porsche engineers gave it a comprehensive makeover. Collectively known as the ‘G-model,’ this generation was built from 1973 to 1989—the longest of any 911. The most visible difference was the bellows-style ‘impact bumper.’ While other manufacturers complied to the latest US crash test requirements by simply applying grotesquely large bumpers to their domestic product, Porsche came up with an innovative solution that integrated the bumper into the body while still absorbing the initial impact. This combined with standard three-point safety belts and seats with integrated headrests provided increased occupant safety. The bodies were otherwise largely unchanged from the ‘long-nose’ generation. The focus then went to the engine. With its learnings from the legendary 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS, the G-modell saw an increase in displacement from 2.4 to 2.7 liters while retaining the lightweight magnesium case and adding CIS fuel-injection. As before, variants included base and ‘S’ trims in coupe and Targa bodies, putting out 150 hp and 175 hp respectively, though base was dropped in 1975 in favor of the 210-hp (RoW) Carrera. US emissions standards would keep the Carrera out of our shores (albeit an S-powered lookalike was available in 1974 and 1975), making the S model the highest and most powerful 911 sold here. Those same emissions requirements created issues with head studs being pulled from the magnesium cases. Though primarily occurring in hot climates, there were enough of these fatalities to cast a gloom over the 2.7 cars for decades to come. Opportunists saw this as a means to a cheap 911, however as more light was shed on how and where those failures occurred, these cars have become increasingly appealing for their narrow bodies, tossable handling and RS-inspired performance. This 1976 Porsche 911S Targa came from the factory finished in Sahara Beige [D3] with a satin black bügel, black removable roof panel, rubber bumperettes, US-spec sugar-scoop headlights, fog lights, and a driver-side mirror. The exterior is said to be clean and straight, having undergone a windows-out body refurbishment that included a full repaint in its original color. During the process, new Wurth rockguard was applied to the undercarriage and all body seals were replaced. Original paint remains visible in the front trunk and engine compartment. Factory galvanized panels, solid floor pans, and tight panel fitment reflect a well-maintained body. Anodized 15″ Fuchs alloy wheels with black-painted pockets are wrapped in new 195/65 Pirelli P6000 tires. The cabin presents in excellent original condition with black and Cinnamon partial leather [36] upholstery, a crack-free dashboard, and a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel. VDO instrumentation includes a centrally mounted tachometer, 150-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. Coco floor mats have been added. The numbers-matching 2.7-liter flat-six engine received a comprehensive top-end rebuild in 2019 by Dick Elverud, a renowned Porsche engine builder. Enhancements included new rings, valve grind and guides, resurfaced rockers, and complete resealing. Showing 112,087 miles at the time of listing, recent tune-ups encompass valve adjustment, fuel system cleaning, and installation of new Porsche-spec filters, fuel injectors, spark plugs, factory plug wires, and Brad Penn oil. The original 915 five-speed manual transmission offers excellent shifting with a recently resurfaced flywheel and new clutch components. Braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes with new front calipers, discs, hoses, and fluid. A dossier of records, the Certificate of Authenticity, and third-party appraisal accompany the sale along with the original tool roll, jack, and spare.

2002 Ferrari 360 Modena

Continuing the tradition of the mid-engine V8 “entry level” Ferrari, the 360 Modena broke with tradition in the form of an entirely new all-aluminum space-frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the F355 it replaced, while 28% lighter despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions. Along with a lightweight frame the new Pininfarina body styling deviated from the previous decade’s sharp angles and flip-up headlights. A new 400-hp 3.6 liter V8 engine also provided a notable improvement in the power-to-weight ratio, resulting in a 3.9 second 0 – 60 time and a 8:02 lap around the Nürburgring (vs 4.5 and 8:13 for the F355). Furthermore—and perhaps most significantly to owners—the 360 Modena was the first mid-engine Ferrari that did not require an engine-out for routine belt changes, a milestone for usability and maintenance. This 2002 Ferrari 360 Modena (№ 128231) comes finished in highly desirable Blu Tour de France [PPG 522] and equipped with an equally desirable factory 6-speed gated manual gearbox (not a conversion). Additional equipment includes 18″ alloy wheels, fender shields, red-painted brake calipers, a limited-slip differential, and Xenon headlights. Some exterior chips are disclosed. The interior is upholstered in beige leather and appointed with power-adjustable seats, Cavallinos embossed on the headrests, and automatic climate control. Some wear is noted on the driver’s seat. Its sole modification is a Challenge Stradale exhaust system. Displaying 16,745 miles at the time of listing, recent service includes a top-end engine rebuild and clutch replacement. Its last major timing belt service was completed in October 2020 at 13,912 miles. Some service documents accompany the sale, along with two keys, the owner’s manual, factory tool kit, a fire extinguisher, factory car cover, and factory flashlight. One of the best bangs for the buck in the Ferrari world, this 2002 360 Modena is listed here on Cars & Bids by a private seller in Santa Monica, California with five days remaining in the auction.


2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show (IAA) and entering production for the 2011 model year, was the first Mercedes-Benz automobile designed and built from scratch entirely by AMG. It marked a bold return to the brand’s high-performance roots, reviving the spirit of the iconic 1950s 300SL “Gullwing.” The most striking feature is its upward-opening gullwing doors, a direct homage to the 300SL. The SLS AMG blended retro styling with modern engineering, earning praise for both its aesthetics and driving experience. Developed with input from Formula 1® driver David Coulthard, it features a hand-built 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing a factory-rated 563 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transaxle. This setup launches the car from 0 – 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 197 mph. Its lightweight aluminum spaceframe and near-perfect weight distribution contribute to its sharp handling and dynamic performance. This 2011 SLS AMG Coupe has remained with its current owner since 2011 and now has 3,168 miles. It is finished in Le Mans Red and equipped with staggered-width 19″ and 20″ AMG split five-spoke alloy wheels, along with a speed-activated aerofoil. The cabin features AMG sport seats upholstered in Exclusive Designo Porcelain leather and complemented by AMG aluminum trim. An extensive list of options includes Bi-Xenon headlamps with cleaning; Automatically Dimming Interior and Exterior Mirror; Memory Package (Driver Seat, Strg. Col., Mirror); AMG Performance Steering Wheel; Ashtray Package; Electric Folding Outside Mirror; COMAND Aps with DVD Changer; Universal Communications Interface (UCI); Sirius Satellite Radio Complete System; and a Microfiber Roof Inner Lining in Dinamica Black. Presented as a finely preserved example free from any substantial imperfections, this 2011 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Coupe is being offered for sale on Hagerty Marketplace out of Oklahoma City with the auction ending August 11, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera “Turbo Look”

When it was first introduced more than 50 years ago, the Porsche 911 Turbo (930) was only supposed to be a short production run to appease Group 4 and 5 homologation requirements. But with its low and wide stance, brawny rear fenders and unique whale tail rear spoiler, it became the most coveted of 911 models. Sure, the neck-snapping acceleration from the 3.0-liter single turbocharged (and later 3.3-liter) engine was part of the appeal, but its “widowmaker” unpredictability reminded novice drivers of its original intent as a 911-based race car designed for professionals. Still, many longed for its looks, particularly in the US, where emissions regulations kept the 930 out of its borders from 1980 and 1986. In 1984 Porsche launched the 911 Carrera 3.2. While that car’s body was nearly identical to the 911 SC it replaced (which itself was a carryover from the 911 Carrera 3.0 that used a non turbocharged version of the Turbo’s 3.0-liter flat-6), Porsche offered what was essentially a non-turbocharged variant of the Turbo. Called “Turbo Look” or M491 (its internal option code), it carried the wide body, whale tail, brakes and suspension from the Turbo but was powered by the Carrera’s naturally aspirated 217-hp 3.2-liter motor, mated to the much more practical 915 (and later G50) 5-speed gearbox (the Turbo would make do with a heavy-duty 4–speed until its final year in 1989). This 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, finished in its original Grand Prix White paint, was imported by Volkswagen of America, Inc, of Culver City, California, and delivered new March 30, 1984 via Bob Hagestad, Inc. Porsche of Denver, Colorado. It comes equipped with a 915 5-speed gearbox, 15″ Fuchs wheels, and optional limited-slip differential. The Burgundy interior is upholstered in optional full leather with matching carpets. Additional appointments include a Blaupunkt Monterey digital cassette radio, electric sliding sunroof, air conditioning, automatic heating control, and raised hub steering wheel. With 23,300 miles at the time of listing, the car has been freshly serviced by a marque specialist. All original owners’ manuals and plastic wallet, original maintenance booklet, original window sticker, original dealer license plate frames, three pieces of matching Porsche luggage, original keys and a leather key fob accompany the sale, here at Copley Motorcars in Needham, Massachusetts at a price upon asking


1987 Buick GNX

While pure muscle cars had faded into history, some carmakers in the 1980s were still searching for performance and excitement for their customers. But rather than shoving oversized engines into their offerings, some brands sought to combine technology with smaller power plants. Perhaps the greatest example of this is Buick’s use of a mundane V-6 and a turbocharger in the Regal coupe. But the 3.8-liter V-6 underneath the hood of the 1987 GNX—a one year only amped-up [eXperimental] version of the Grand National–was no mundane engine. A Garrett turbocharger with an intercooler, along with beefier turbo components, a reworked transmission, a less-restrictive dual exhaust, ASC/McLaren tuning and a reprogrammed engine control module turned the Regal into a legitimate ’80s muscle car. With a stated 276 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque (independent test would show something closer to 300/400), the GNX could hit 60 mph from a standstill in 4.7 seconds. This was faster than the Corvettes, Ferraris, Porsches, and even the Lamborghini Countach of the day. For a brief period, the fastest production in the world was the Buick GNX. This 1987 Buick GNX coupe is № 183 of 547 produced. It was delivered new to C. Woods Buick-Opel in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and later sold by Porter Chevrolet in Newark, Delaware, in April 2000 with 40 miles on the odometer. It is finished in Black and features color-keyed bumpers and trim, a waterfall-style grille, wheel arch flares, a chin spoiler and 3-piece decklid spoiler, heat-extracting fender vents, sport side mirrors, and GNX badging. 16″ aluminum black-finished wheels with a cross-lace design and polished outer lips are dressed in BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport tires. Cracks on the top of the front bumper, beneath the driver-side headlight. The cabin features GNX-specific gauges and Black and Sand Gray cloth upholstery. It is appointed with air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power steering, cruise control, a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo featuring Concert Sound II and graphic equalizer, logo-embroidered floor mats, and a badge denoting GNX serial number 183. With 2,914 miles, its history includes servicing at 2,432, 2,865, and 2,899 miles. Records accompany the sale, along with the original window sticker, ASC McLaren build documentation, and factory literature and correspondence. This 1987 Buick GNX is now being offered here on SBX Cars by a dealer in West Chester, Pennsylvania with the auction closing August 7, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. EDT.


1988 Pontiac MERA

Almost immediately after the introduction of the Pontiac Fiero, kit builders began using its chassis for replicas. Its relatively cheap price and mid-engine layout practically begged for a “Fake Ferrari” or “Lookalike Lambo” conversion. Some were executed more convincingly than others (most were not), but this was the Gordon Gecko late ’80s and even ersatz displays held some merit. One of the—perhaps the—best re-bodies came from Bob Bracey, owner of Corporate Concepts in Capac, Michigan, creator of the MERA. After two years of development, the MERA was introduced in 1987. Using brand-new Fieros, the MERA was a complete car, not a do-it-yourself kit, as many replicas of the time were. A closer observation made it easy to distinguish from its Ferrari 308 GTB/S benchmark, but from certain angles, it warranted a second look. Though never endorsed by GM, it was sold through some Pontiac dealers (in much the same way as conversion vans were). They were priced nearly double the highest-level Fiero in GT trim, but dealers had no problem selling the 247 that were made between 1987 and 1988 (before Ferrari took issue). As with most replicas, the MERA was meant for a particular kind of attention, and as that wore thin, they fell into disrepair and destruction. Well-preserved examples of well-executed Fake Ferraris and Lookalike Lambos have become more scarce than their exemplars. This 1988 Pontiac MERA, № 137/247, was in the care of its original owner until earlier this year, when the selling dealer acquired it from the estate. Finished in Flash Red, it came equipped from the dealer with 15″ alloy Mera Pentaspoke wheels cast by Cromodora. The beige interior is appointed with air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, exterior mirrors, and door locks. Modifications reported by the selling dealer include a Flowmaster exhaust system, aftermarket CARB-compliant catalytic converters, a Recaro racing seat (driver’s side), a Pioneer head unit, and wiring for aftermarket foglights (not installed). Power comes from the Fiero Formula’s 135-hp 2.8-liter V6 mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Recent service includes an engine oil and filter change; EGR valve, spark plugs, engine air filter, PCV grommet (on valve cover), coolant pipe connector, fuel pressure regulator, thermostat cap, battery, and wiper blades replacement; and new Cooper Cobra radial GT tires. The selling dealer reports that the engine was rebuilt in the late 1990s by Jasper Engine. He estimates that roughly 20,000 to 30,000 miles have been added since. Some service documentation accompanies the sale, along with the owner’s manual, sales brochure, seat and head unit manuals, a copy of the original purchase contract, wheel locks, and a car cover. This 1988 Pontiac MERA is now available here on Cars & Bids out of San Diego with three days left in the auction.

1992 Porsche 911 America Roadster

Shortly after the introduction of the first Porsche, the 356, US importer Max Hoffman approached Porsche with the idea of a stripped-down 356-based car for weekend racers that was simpler and lighter; one that could compete with the British roadsters of the day. It would eventually become known as the Speedster in 1954, but two years earlier, Porsche answered with the Typ 540 K/9-1, more commonly known as the America Roadster. Only 21 units were built. Not surprisingly, the 1952 America Roadster is among the most special and highly coveted Porsches ever. Fast forward 40 years to 1992 and the 964 generation 911. In resurrecting the America Roadster name, Porsche announced that it too was something. The America Roadster was essentially a C2 Cabriolet with the Turbo’s wide fender flares. suspension, brakes, and 17-inch Porsche Cup wheels (marketed as “Turbo look” outside of America). While not conceptually the same as the stripped-down, lightweight Typ 540, the 964 America Roadster was limited to 250 units, built between 1992 and 1993. This 1992 Porsche 911 America Roadster is finished in Midnight Blue Pearl Metallic [L37W] with a matching top (this one insulated and electrically operated, as opposed to the Typ 540’s emergency-only folding ragtop). It has been wrapped in matching vinyl due to sun damage on the original paint. It rides on Continental ExtremeContact tires from 2018. The cabin is upholstered in grey leather and equipped with power-adjustable seats, a parcel shelf with storage compartments in place of the rear seats, power windows and mirrors, a central locking system, cruise control, air conditioning, and a locking glove box. Additionally, an upgraded Porsche Classic radio has been installed. Power comes from an air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine rated at 247 hp and 228 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual transmission. With 29,139 miles on the odometer at the time of listing, this 1992 Porsche 911 America Roadster is listed on PCARMARKET by a dealer in Los Angeles with five days left to bid.


1994 BMW 850CSi

When the BMW E31 8-Series was introduced to succeed the E24 6-Series, it was an engineering and technological sensation. Naturally, enthusiasts accustomed to the workings of the M Division eagerly waited the successor to the M6 in the form of an M8. But, aside from a single prototype whose 6.0-liter V12 is put to little use on the BMW museum floor, an M8 would never come to be. Its pricepoint would have been nearly twice that of the 850i, the equivalent of nearly $350,000 today. The closest the mortal world would get to an E31 M8 is the 850CSi, introduced in 1994. Powered by a naturally aspirated 372-hp 5.6-liter S70 V12, the 850CSi can be distinguished by its front air dam, rear skirt with diffuser, unique bumper covers, and quad exhaust outlets, along with 17″ Style 21 forged alloy wheels and fore/aft-specific rubber. Less visible is its suspension, M-modified as well, with a reduced ride height. A total of 1,510 were produced with only 225 built for the US market over a two-year production run. This 1994 BMW 850CSi is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic [309] over a two-tone leather interior and equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox, Brembo front calipers with drilled StopTech front brake rotors, limited-slip differential, auto-closing windows at 100 mph, auto-closing sunroof at 112 mph, power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power adjustable heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, dual-mode Sport/Komfort throttle sensitivity control switch, Automatic Stability Control switch, cruise control, and an AM/FM/Cassette stereo. With an indicated 28,609 miles covered by its two owners, a folder with its maintenance records accompanies the sale, along with owner’s manuals, the original window sticker, and 850CSi magazine pages. An auction veteran since 2022, this 1994 BMW 850 CSi is now giving Hagerty Marketplace a try, with the most recent auction closing August 5, 2025 at 3:00 p.m.


1976 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina

Introduced in 1975 at the Paris Auto Salon, Pininfarina’s curvaceous styling of the Ferrari 308 GTB ran counter to Bertone’s more angular 308 GT4. Pairing transverse 3.0L power and five-speed gated-manual shifting, its acclaim grew further as Ferrari’s first mid-engine V8 road car. Ferrari’s characteristic exploration of innovative technology led the manufacturer to initially produce the car in fiberglass. When production was increased, the material proved too expensive at scale, yielding precious few early examples constructed—with the remaining cars made in conventional steel. Rarer still, just 100 US-spec composite-bodied 308 ‘Vetroresinas’ were built. This 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina is a true US-market example, showing just 15,074 miles from new as a benchmark for correctness and originality. First delivered to Alfredo P. Oliverio of Palo Alto, California, at the time a top executive at Hewlett Packard Company, Mr. Oliverio would retain s/n 019735 until his passing. Documented service throughout the car’s life shows diligent maintenance performed by dealers and marque specialists. Under present ownership, comprehensive inspection and service work entrusted to Patrick Ottis & Company of Berkeley, California lends maintenance totaling $6,700 with rebuilding of front brake calipers, carburetor tuning, and installation of new spark plugs, among other minor services. It retains correct-to-production-date equipment and finishes. Though almost certainly repainted under initial ownership due to flawed metallic paint materials used by Ferrari when new, the interior (leather seats, carpets, door cards and dash top, and rear bulkhead upholstery) are all original material, and in excellent condition considering their age. The wheels have been expertly refinished in the correct silver, while front/rear bumpers, emblems, and Saint Gobain glass are believed to be original. The front stowage area retains its original window washer bag and both front/rear compartments still feature correct ‘snake skin’ vinyl material covers—a rare fabric carried over from Dino 246GT-era production. Freshly serviced in May 2025 and showing less than 250 miles since its last major service, this highly correct example is California titled and ready for Summer driving enjoyment. With two key fobs, the owner’s manual & manufacturer literature (US-Spec), service books & stampings, dealer network, & warranty books, sale brochures, service records from current & pervious ownership, and a tool kit w/original holder, jack bag, & emergency triangle, this 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina is being offered here on SOMO by a private seller in Occidental, California with the auction closing August 6, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. EDT

1962 Porsche 356 B

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. Such continual refinement resulted in Car and Driver magazine calling the 356 B “… not so much a ‘car’ as a sealed ‘machine for traveling.’” This 1962 Porsche 356 B (№ 118394) comes from its original owner. Finished in classic Ivory. The car has never been involved in an accident or suffered from rust (New Mexico ownership). Original body panels are number stamped and straight with good gaps. Pans and longitudinals are original with solid jack points, spare wheel, and battery tray. Likewise, the Red interior has been refurbished with taut upholstery and clean matching square-weave carpeting. Headliner is nice. Dash is straight and wrinkle-free. The engine (P☆607462☆) is original to the car. Displaying 45,787 miles at the time of listing, the mechanics are strong. The engine starts immediately with no smoke and pulls strongly. Suspension is tight with good bushings and shocks. Brakes work as designed. Unfortunately, any documents related to the car were disposed of during the clearing of the owner’s estate upon his passing. One will have to purchase from the son’s oral history and trust the integrity of the car and the reputatable dealer. It’s being sold through Frazier Motorcar Company in Lebanon, Tennessee at an asking price of $84,500.


1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4

In the early 1990s, Japanese automotive manufacturing rose to the peak, driving them to build countless of high-tech grand tourers just to demonstrate to the West what they were capable of. This gave birth to the 1987 and 1993 Toyota Supra, 1989 Nissan 300ZX and Skyline GT-R, 1990 Acura/Honda NSX and 1992 Mazda RX-7. Perhaps the most prominent showcase of state-of-the-art technology came in the Mitsubishi GTO, or what was known as 3000GT VR-4. This car brought us a 300-horsepower 24-valve twin-turbo V6, a full-time all-wheel drive system (Viscous Real-time 4-wheel drive), 4-wheel steering, switchable electronic adaptive damping, active aerodynamic aids, and variable exhaust, features we only heard about through extravagant supercars like the Porsche 959 or Ferrari F40 (if we heard about them at all). Yet, somehow, the Mitsubishi never quite measured up to its compatriots or competition from the Corvette and Porsche 944. Despite excellent roadholding and all-weather drivability, the 3000GT VR-4 was criticized for bags of understeer and lack of agility, blamed to its immense weight and 58:42 weight distribution. While it was not a sports car, it was neither a luxury GT. History has been kinder, with a growing appreciation for what it was, and what it wasn’t. The VR-4 was never perfect, but it never needed to be. It represented the pinnacle of technology from a car maker that was never known for beauty or particularly sporty cars. Combine its power, comfort, luxury features and fun-to-drive factor, and it’s a recipe not matched by any of its contemporaries. This 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 coupe is one 3,693 made that year. Finished in Glacier White Pearl [W75], it has clocked 31,700 miles since new. Currently residing in Exeter, California, the car spent its earlier life in Florida, Connecticut, and Washington. Like their compatriots, 3000GTs have not escaped extensive modifications by the fast & furious set, but this one remains entirely unmolested. Paintwork looks to be in excellent condition, though an accident has been reported. The consignor states the car has been on a rack for inspections before repairs/service, and there are no concerns regarding structure/frame. Additional exterior blemishes include light cosmetic damage on the rims, a small paint chip on the hood, and minor chips on front bumper. The Black leather interior shows wear consistent with age and mileage. It original Infinity Mitsubishi AM/FM/CD/cassette has been replaced by a Kenwood touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth and backup camera (original radio retained). Its recent service history shows replacement of the A/C compressor, with the system serviced and recharged; brakes bled and serviced; engine oil and filter changes, replacement of tie rods, a check of the computer/electrical systems, replacement of the radio antenna and mast motor, reverse shifter bushings, and all transfer case transmission seals, as well as a tranfer plug repair and fluid change. With three sets of keys and key rings, the owner’s manuals, Kenwood stereo manual, nine OEM shifter bushings, and all receipts prior to the seller’s 2022 purchase, this 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 is being sold on Hagerty Marketplace with the auction ending August 1, 2025 at 3:05 p.m. EDT.


1980 Volkswagen Rabbit C

Introduced in 1974 as an evolution of 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. This 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit C comes from a single owner since new. It is finished in Alpine White with chrome bumpers, chrome trim and a driver’s side mirror. It rides on factory 13″ steel wheels with hubcaps.The cabin features tan cloth and vinyl upholstery with matching carpeting and door panels. Accessories include a floor-mounted automatic shifter, manual crank windows, and a factory AM radio. Power comes from a 1.5-liter carburetted inline-4 rated at 62 hp. A 3-speed automatic transmission handles gear changes while the chassis is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension. Braking power is facilitated by front discs and rear drums. Showing 18,763 miles at the time of listing, it’s now listed for sale here on Auto Hunter by a dealer in Gladstone, Oregon with seven days left to bid.

2003 Porsche 911 Targa

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. A minor makeover in 2002 (becoming known as the 996.2 cars) did little to improve its cred, despite the revised Turbo-style headlights, a freshly designed front clip and an increase in engine capacity to 3.6L along with a subsequent 20 hp boost. The bodies were more rigid, which further improved handling and safety. 2002 also brought the return of a Targa model, carrying over the panoramic sliding-glass “greenhouse” roof of its 993 predecessor, but lighter and with better heat insulation. In addition, the 996 Targa was now based on its coupe sibling, whereas its predecessor was based on the heavier Cabriolet. Yet, while the 993 Targa models have found a new appreciation (both in terms of affection and market value), the 996 Targa remains stagnant. That also means they’re a relative bargain. This 2002 Porsche 911 Targa is one of 5,152 made between 2002 and 2005. It’s finished in a seldom-seen color of Orient Red Metallic [L8A3] and equipped with factory side skirts, 8-way heated power seats with driver’s memory, 18″ Carrera 5-spoke wheels, wheel caps with colored Porsche crests, and draped leather front seats, along with the 09991 option, indicating some element(s) was were special order (Sonderwunsch). Its first owner had it from new until 2021 (31,308 miles). The original motor was replaced under warranty by Porsche in 2008 at 16,712 miles with the later, larger and more robust single-row IMS bearing engine (proper “AT” replacement serial number corresponding to 2005+). The original owner also had the Porsche dealer remove the original full gray leather interior [CY] early on after purchasing the car, replacing it with Natural Brown leather (some areas dyed to match) as well as OEM optional dark wood accents. Turbo sports tail pipes were also added. The car was sold in 2021 by the original selling dealer to another Porsche enthusiast who owned it for two years, adding just over 5,000 miles. Along with general maintenance, the clutch was replaced at 31,722, and control arms, coil springs & tires at 34,048. PCCM+ and Fister Sport Exhaust was also added. The seller purchased the car in February of 2023 with 36,537 miles and replaced the oil, oil filter (now LN spin-on) and engine filter, rear hatch struts, and driver side window regulator. Service records accompany the sale, along with two keys and a complete set of owner’s manuals. The only real flaw reported is cracks in steering wheel wood trim. This 2003 Porsche 911 Targa is now for sale here on The Mart (Porsche Club of America Classifieds) at an asking price of $42,000.


1969 Ford Bronco U15

Introduced in 1966, Ford’s first-generation Bronco joined a group of now-longstanding American icons. Serving as the Blue Oval’s answer to other utilitarian but robust off-roaders like Toyota’s Land Cruiser and Land Rover’s Series IIA, the original Bronco’s clean lines married versatile simplicity with rugged capability. Early iterations won over buyers with pickup (U14), roadster (U13), and wagon (U15) body styles plus optional V8 power. While the model later grew in both footprint and output, the impact of the original remained its defining character. The first Bronco’s popularity for restoration stands paramount in the classic 4×4 segment. This 1969 Ford Bronco U15 Wagon combines classic early SUV aesthetics with minor modifications adding to its usability. A full frame-off restoration completed in 2016 by Jeremy Topping of Costa Mesa, California ensures its double White factory appearance remains fresh and eye-catching alongside a spartan engine bay and undercarriage. The fixed hardtop two-door SUV body is finished in Cream White, capped off by of-the-era chrome details tip to tail. Hubcapped steel wheels wear Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires while a split rear tailgate defines iconic utility. The cabin features White vinyl upholstery on both front and rear seats, as well as a center console cup holder section. Added Vintage Air A/C and a Retro AM/FM/AUX stereo with Bluetooth offer contemporary four-season comforts. Under the hood, a 302ci V8 and three-speed manual transmission provide smooth power delivery backed by modern enhancements including an aluminum radiator and Warn manual-locking front wheel hubs. Displaying 64,657 at the time of cataloguing, the sale of this 1969 Ford Bronco U15 includes a Seller’s Disclosure, car cover, and full-size matching spare. It’s listed here on SOMO by a private party in Oxford, Florida with the auction closing July 30, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. EDT.


1978 Jaguar XJ12L Series II

Jaguar introduced the XJ6 saloon in 1968. It brought to fruition a one-model policy, effectively replacing three previous model sedans in Jaguar’s lineup. The XJ12 first appeared in July 1972. One year later, Jaguar announced an upgraded and substantially altered version of the sedan, the Series II. It featured an improved body with side impact bars, a bulkhead that was virtually sealed off from the passenger compartment, new technology fiber optic lighting and multi-pin plug-in connections. The exterior makeover included raised bumpers (largely due to U.S. regulations) and a shallower radiator grille. And the air conditioning was redesigned at this time. Standard wheelbase cars employed a 108.75-inch wheelbase while L or long wheelbase models used a 112.75-inch version. The 285-hp uel-injected 5.3-liter V12 was mated to a conventional Borg Warner three-speed automatic. Throughout the Series II model run from 1968 to 1979, Jaguar produced 16,010 XJ12L saloons. Motor Trend Magazine would later name it “the most significant car of the decade.” This 1978 Jaguar XJ12L was donated to the Nethercutt Collection, one of America’s finest Automotive Museums and Collections comprising over 250 perfectly restored American and European motor cars. It has been part of that collection for 22 years. It wears an older repaint in Oxford White, while its Sand leather interior remains original. Appointments include wool carpeting, power steering, brakes, windows and antenna, electric rear window defogger, and a ’90s-era Sony AM/FM cassette radio. The dashboard, trimmed in wood and housing full instrumentation, is said to be free of any cracks. There is however a crack and a tear on the front seat, as well as bubbling on the hood, a dent in the driver’s side rocker panel, and dings in three of the four hubcaps. Showing 25,815 miles (true mileage unknown), this 1978 Jaguar XJ12L is being sold on a salvage title on Hagerty Marketplace with nine days left to bid.

1970 Porsche 914/6

Despite outselling its 911 sibling nearly two-to-one, the 4-cylinder Porsche 912 was becoming increasingly costly to produce (and thus turn a profit without approaching the price of an entry level 911, which it nearly had). Thus Volkswagen was brought in to help develop its replacement. The Wolfsburg company was at the time under a long-time contract with Porsche and, looking to fill their own “sports coupe” position, used the opportunity to fulfill that contract. The 914/4, with a flat-4 engine, would be marketed as VW-Porsche (simply Porsche in the critical American market, where Porsche felt a VW badge would dilute the Porsche brand) while the 914/6 would be only marketed as a Porsche offering. The Porsche 914/6 variant featured the 2.0-liter air-cooled Type 901/3 flat-six engine from the 1967–1969 911T model. All engines were placed amidships in front of a version of the 1969 911’s “901” gearbox configured for a mid-engined sports car. Karmann manufactured the rolling chassis at their plant, completing Volkswagen production in-house or delivering versions to Porsche for their final assembly. The 914/6 models came with lower gear ratios and larger brakes to compensate for the greater weight and higher power output of the six-cylinder model. They also featured five-lug wheels and an ignition on the left side of the steering wheel. Suspension and handling were otherwise mostly the same. This genuine 1970 Porsche 914/6 was first sold on March 4, 1971 at Dick Barbour’s Porsche Audi in Escondido, California. About 25 years ago it was customized into a GT-inspired “outlaw” and remains today in Auburn, California. Finished in Tangerine [L21E], the car has a reinforced chassis with real steel flares and a full roll cage. It is said to be remarkably straight and 100% rust-free. Power comes from a 240-hp 3.0-liter SC engine with Cosworth internals and 46mm Weber carbs, as well as a hand-built Monty Muffler exhaust. The power is directed through a 915 transmission with a very early Wevo race shifter. Large 993 twin Turbo brakes handle the stopping power. The original owner’s manual, service booklet, toolkit, and jack accompany the sale. Offers for this 1970 Porsche 914/6 are currently being accepted at 2shores International in Grass Valley, California.


1953 Bentley R-Type Continental Special

The Bentley R-Type Continental has long been revered as one of the most elegant and capable grand tourers of the post-war era, but this particular example takes that legacy in a completely different direction. First registered as a 1953 Bentley R-Type, this is a one-off Special with bespoke coachwork designed and built by Peter Rae, the former Managing Director of RAE International (Bodybuilders) and Chairman of the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club. The rakish, streamlined bodywork draws inspiration from the legendary 1939 Bentley 4½ Litre ‘Embiricos’ Coupé and the French coachbuilders of the 1930s, resulting in a four-seater open tourer with tremendous road presence and distinctive style that stands apart from any other Bentley. Built approximately 20 years ago with first road use around 2015, this special represents over 1,000 hours of skilled craftsmanship from design to completion. Based on a standard wheelbase R-Type chassis and using all standard components, it combines classic Bentley engineering with flamboyant, head-turning aesthetics that are loaded with character. Bodywork appears in smart condition, having covered little mileage since rebuild. There are no discernible dents, dings or notable corrosion. The brightwork contrasts beautifully while the glasswork and lenses have been nicely kept. Likewise, the interior has been well kept with rich, sumptuous-looking upholstery, well-presnted vertical-grain woodwork and cappings, and a good overall dashboard with clean and legible instruments. Power comes from a 4.6-liter straight-6 coupled with a 4-speed manual gearbox. It was previously used in local classic events in Scotland before being garaged for the last few years. It would likely benefit from recommissioning after several years of limited use. It is currently located in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. Extensive documentation including the original green logbook, factory build sheets, Jack Barclay history, and DVLA correspondence accompany the sale, along with books, tools, hood and hood bag, a full tonneau cover, and club badges. A crowd- and driver-pleaser both,, this 1953 Bentley R-Type Continental Special is being offered here on Car and Classic with the auction closing July 22, at 2:50 p.m.


1968 Volvo 122S Wagon

Production on the Volvo 122/Amazon commenced in Sweden in 1956 in tandem with the aging PV544, but it took three years for the car to be introduced in the United States (as the 122S) at the 1959 New York International Auto Show. The 122S was a considerable advance over the 544, with far greater interior room and better outward visibility. The B18 (and later B20) engines, while not powerhouses, were bulletproof and able to easily travel hundreds of thousands of miles without a rebuild. A wagon varaint (P220) made its debut at the Stockholm Motor Show in February 1962. This extension of the model range gave Volvo a more extensive program in one and the same car family than ever before. The P220 had four doors and the tailgate was divided into two parts, one part folded down and the other folded up. This design was inspired by station wagons from the USA. With their nostalgic yet timeless looks and legendary reliability, the P220 Amazon Wagons continue to hold an enduring appeal. This 1968 Volvo 122S Wagon was recently treated to a full restoration spanning from 2019 through 2024. The car was media blasted down to bare metal and refinished in Volvo Slate Blue (Paint Code 67). Brightwork was professionally rechromed. The interior was redone with new factory Volvo red leather. The factory motor and transmission were professionally rebuilt. The car is said to drive like the day it was sold new. It can be found here on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in West Warwick, Rhode Island at an asking price of $33,500.

1980 Porsche 928

If you read the Stuttgart Market Letter (and you should), you may have noted that 2025 may end up being “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 1980 Porsche 928. It is a California market example that has been repainted once in its original hellblau (Light Blue) Metallic. It came factory equipped with the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox, headlamp washers, fog lights, a rear window wiper, and 16” phone dial alloy wheels. Options include an 88 Ah battery and dual heated power mirrors. Notably, the common sunroof option was left unchecked. The interior is upholstered in Beige partial leather [BJ] with Beige berber cloth seat inserts and carpets. Appointments included a Porsche CR stereo radio (replaced by a period-correct Alpine head unit) and an 8-speaker hi-fi sound system. It presents as exceptionally clean and well-kept, with no tears or cracks though it does show some of the typical dash warpage. Displaying 74,791 miles at the time of listing, its maintenance history includes a timing belt service, new braided stainless steel brake lines, upper and lower radiator hoses, fresh fluids, an aftermarket exhaust, and new period-correct Pirelli P6000s. This well-sorted 5-speed slicktop 1980 Porsche 928 can be found for sale here at RP Exotics in St. Louis at an asking price of $41,995.


1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

By the end of the ’60s, what began as a Pony Car war had grown into an all-out muscle car war, both on the street and the track. To compete with the Mopar HEMI engine in NASCAR’s Grand National Division, Ford launched the BOSS 429 V8 in 1969. With that, the “BOSS 9” became the ultimate Mustang. It was built as a limited production Mustang Fastback to meet the required homologation of 500 units. Ford modified a version Ford’s big block V8 design known as the ‘Ford 385 engine’ and changed the stroke from 3.85 inches to 3.59. Power was “officially” rated at 375 hp. Stricter emissions meant using a mild cam, a smog pump and small carburetor, leaving the door open to make simple modifications. Doubling its stated rating was not uncommon. The body also had to be modified to accommodate the big engine. Starting with a Mach 1 Sportsroof 428 Super Cobrajet body, the inner fenders were changed and the shock towers were widened to made additional space. Production of the Boss 429 engine began at the Ford Rouge plant. Both the engines and the Cobra Jet Mustangs were shipped to Kar Kraft of Dearborn, Michigan to be assembled. Production of the Mustang Boss 429 was limited to only 1,358 units: 859 built in 1969 and 499 in 1970. Each unit received a special NASCAR identification placed under the driver’s side door and a “KK” number (units are numbered from KK № 1201 to KK № 2558). The Boss Package Boss Package also included fender decals, a manually-controlled hood scoop, a front spoiler, dual racing mirrors, engine oil cooler, trunk mounted battery, power steering, power front disc brakes, a close-ratio 4-speed manual, 3.91:1 Traction-Lok differential, 3/4-inch rear swaybar, F60x15 Goodyear tires and the Deluxe decor interior with an 8000 rpm tach and AM/FM radio. The package nearly doubled the base price of a $2,740 Mustang Sportsroof. A total of 859 were built in 1969. This 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 (KK № 1272) was originally delivered through Jerry Alderman Ford Sales in Indianapolis, Indiana. It came factory-finished in Wimbledon White (1619-A) and equipped with an optional front spoiler, color-keyed racing mirrors, and chrome 15″ Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in period-style Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. The restoration reportedly included a complete disassembly, rotisserie mounting, and a comprehensive refurbishment to factory specifications inside and out. The cabin is trimmed in Black Clarion Knit vinyl with matching carpets, woodgrain accents, and factory hi-back bucket seats. This example was optioned with the Interior Décor Group Deluxe and Visibility Group, along with deluxe seatbelts and warning lights, an AM radio, a center console, and a trunk-mounted battery. All gauges, electronics, and accessories are confirmed to be in proper working order, although the alternator warning light occasionally flickers. Additional factory options include power steering, power front disc brakes, and Competition Suspension. The car is said to have been restored to its original mechanical specifications. Upon the seller’s acquisition, a new crankshaft and camshaft have been installed, and the carburetor has been rebuilt. This sale will include the original owner’s manuals and window sticker, a clean title, a toolkit, a spare tire, historical documentation, restoration photos, a Deluxe Marti Report from Marti Auto Works, a period-correct Autolite battery, and a display board with option details. It’s now listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in Nickerson, Nebraska with one day left to bid.


1988 Toyota MR2 SC

Launched in 1984, the MR2 – Midship Runabout Two-seater – was actually a result of the early-1970s fuel crisis. In 1976, a design project was launched to develop a fun-to-drive, small, fuel-efficient car, but not necessarily a sports car. But some Toyota engineers saw the potential for fun at the same time. The result was the mid-engined SA-X concept, complete with a transverse-mounted four-cylinder engine and au courant wedge styling. Chief development engineer Akio Yoshida was put in charge, but the oil crisis of the ‘70s caused a three-year hiatus as Toyota focused on core projects like the new Tercel, and updating the Corolla. Yoshida persisted and, influenced by a spell working in Los Angeles, the project gradually morphed into a rear-wheel-drive, two-seater sports car. Several versions were drawn under under Seiichi Yamauchi, who drew inspiration from the Japanese katana, a samurai sword characterized by a long, slim, gracefully curving blade. Behind the scenes, the company had been taking the matter of driving fun extremely seriously. Its development team had been handed the budget to bring on board Dan Gurney, the successful Formula One and sports car racer, who’d established Eagle with Carroll Shelby. Alongside Toyota’s engineers, Gurney was set the task of fine-tuning the responses of Toyota’s new road car. The first prototype, SA-X, was revealed in 1981. Two years later, Toyota unveiled the SV-3 in Tokyo.It became the first mass- produced mid-engined car to come from Japan when launched to the public as the MR2 the following year. The compact 1.6-liter 4A-GE engine, first seen in the AE80 series Corolla GT coupe, fit neatly behind the cabin, giving a 56/44 rear/front weight distribution. It featured a twin-cam 16-valve cylinder head and Denso electronic fuel injection. Hooked up to a five-speed manual, it developed 122 hp and the ability to rev beyond 7000 rpm. Toyota claimed 0 – 60 mph in 7.7 seconds, and a top speed of 121 mph—more than enough to stay with, or even see off, a hot hatch. The MR2’s suspension and handling were designed by Toyota with the help of Lotus engineer Roger Becker, a cooperation that would later produce Lotus cars like the Elise and Exage. In 1986 (1988 for the US market), Toyota introduced a supercharged engine for the W10 MR2. Based on the same block and head, the 4A-GZE was equipped with a small Roots-type supercharger and a Denso intercooler. It produced 145 hp and 137 lb⋅ft of torque, dropping its 0 – 60 time to 6.5 seconds. In addition to the new engine, the MR2 SC was also equipped with stiffer springs, and received special “tear-drop” aluminum wheels. The engine cover had two raised vents (only one of which was functional) that visually distinguished it from the naturally aspirated models. It was also labeled SUPER CHARGER on the rear trunk and body mouldings behind both doors. The MR2 SC was never offered outside of the Japanese and North American markets. This 1988 Toyota MR2 SC is one of 1,200 made for the US market that year. It’s a two-owner California car that remains in original unmolested condition. The black leather-upholstered interior features power windows, power mirrors, central locking, and air conditioning. There’s also a radio with a cassette tape player, and a switch to determine whether you’re using regular or premium gas, allowing you to adjust ECU parameters accordingly. The gauge cluster features a lovely analog set of gauges with a green LED light that indicates when the supercharger is producing boost (belt-driven, and disengaged when not needed to improve fuel economy). With an impressive 36,611 on the odometer at the time of listing, this 1988 Toyota MR2 is being offered on Exotic Car Trader at an asking price of $33,500.

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.

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.

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.

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. The interior is upholstered in blue leather and appointed with power windows and door mirrors, and automatic climate control. It has been modified with a Fabspeed Motorsport exhaust system, Fabspeed Motorsport European-style headers, and a Pioneer head unit. Known flaws include scratches on underside of front bumper, a dent on the driver-side door, touch-up paint on the passenger-side door, paint blemishes on the rear bumper and passenger-side fender, door windows are misaligned, scuffs showing on the rocker panels, wear on the leather upholstery, wear on interior touchpoints, and warped leather upholstery on the dashboard. The seller also notes third gear grinds when shifting. Recent service includes replacement of the water pump, repair of the ECU and LED indicator light for immobilizer, anngine oil and filter change, transmission fluid, coolant, and brake fluid flush, replacement of engine mounts, and adjustment of shift linkages. With two keys, owner’s manual, tool kit, and factory exhaust pieces, this 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena is being sold here on Cars & Bids out of Redwood City, California with five days remaining in the auction.

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.

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.

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.

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. Accessories include manually adjustable front bucket seats, a black leather three-spoke steering wheel, power windows, air conditioning, cruise control, 928-logo door sills, rear passenger sun visors, a locking storage compartment, and a Porsche-Blaupunkt stereo. The seller notes the cassette tape deck is inoperable, however, all other accessories are fully functional. The 4.5-liter V8 engine is mated a sought-after 5-speed manual gearbox with an optional limited-slip differential. Displaying an impressive 34,998 miles at the time of listing, service completed under previous ownership in September of 2021 included replacing the water pump, timing belt, breather hose, air filter, and thermostat. Since the seller’s purchase in 2024, the car has also been serviced with a new battery, alternator and power steering belts, 1st and 2nd gear synchros, transmission seals, wiper blades, new CV boots, an oil change, and a wheel alignment. This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, service records, a Porsche Production Specifications Certificate, and a clean title. It’s listed here on PCARMARKET by a Gas Motor Cars in Marietta, Georgia with one day left to bid.


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. In addition to the car itself, the winning bidder will receive a scale model of the car, a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph, as well as a driving experience at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto. Finally, Porsche Cars Canada has elected that any amount over the PECTO GT3 RS’ reserve price will be donated to Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium), a charity that has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families since 1983. Through in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, the organization creates opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. By providing play-based experiences, they empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis.

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.
