1970 Chevrolet Nova Yenko Deuce

Built upon a lightweight, base-trim Nova with bench seats and rubber floor mats, each Yenko Deuce was assembled at the factory with the impressive LT-1 engine, dual exhaust, power brakes with front discs, heavy-duty springs, front and rear sway bars, and an upgraded cooling system. Power met the road through […]

1989 Ferrari F40

Throughout Ferrari’s illustrious history, few — if any — models have encapsulated the mystique of the Prancing Horse quite as succinctly as the F40. Outrageous in appearance, uncompromising in philosophy and otherworldly in performance, the F40 was everything a Ferrari should be. The tragic 1986 World Rally Championship season had […]

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR

This 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR was purchased new by the seller from Anaheim Mitsubishi in California on September 3, 2007, and it now has 461 miles. Finished in Apex Silver over black leather and Alcantara upholstery, the car is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 mated to a […]

2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie

A truly astonishing feat of engineering, this 2022-model-year example has been consigned to auction by its original owner. The Valkyrie’s odometer remarkably reads just 109 kilometers at the time of cataloging. Ordered new to Japan, factory records show that this left-hand-drive, European-specification car carries an October 19, 2022, build date. It […]

1936 Delahaye 135 S

Of all the pre-war French racers, few are as well regarded as the Delahaye 135 S. Just 20 of these lightened and shortened speed machines were ever built, each doing battle at the very pinnacle of Grand Prix and sports-car racing. Of that small cohort, the penultimate example — chassis […]

1935 Auburn 851 Supercharged Speedster

In the days when Bugattis crossed France and 4½ Litre Bentleys tore through the British countryside, the American equivalent was the Auburn Speedster. The 1935–36 Speedsters were designed by the legendary Gordon Buehrig. Audacious by the standards of their time, they featured curvaceous bodywork with a straight hood line shooting […]

1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Alloy

Completed on January 12, 1956, this was the 26th alloy-bodied Gullwing off the Untertürkheim production line, and actually the first completed in 1956. Its data card, a copy of which is included in the file, records all of the usual Leichtmetallausführung glories — alloy body, NSL engine, sports suspension, Rudges, […]

1964 Iso Grifo A3/L Spider Prototype

Only a single original Iso Grifo convertible was built: this car, actually a companion to the original A3/L prototype coupe, with which it shared such distinctive features as the side exhaust rakishly snaking through the passenger’s side of the cowl and under the rocker panel trim with its nearly matte […]

2015 Ferrari California T

This 2015 Ferrari California T has 25k miles and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle. Finished in Nero over red-and-black leather upholstery, the car has Novitec exhaust and suspension components, 20-inch split-spoke alloy wheels, a limited-slip differential, carbon-ceramic brakes with yellow-finished calipers, […]

1982 March-Chevrolet 82G

This 82G race car is the first of four examples produced by March Engineering in 1982 for use in the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class of the IMSA GT Championship. Chassis 1, referred to as the 82G prototype, secured pole position in its debut at the Daytona 24 Hours, and […]
