Artcurial Motorcars Rétromobile 2022 was held on March 18 to 20, 2022. Highlight of the sale was a 1968 Porsche 907. The 907 was introduced at the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans. With a new longtail body, the 907s reached 302 km/h (190 mph) on the straight, even though it used a 220 hp Porsche 910 2000cc 6-cyl rather than a more powerful 8-cyl. The car on offer is chassis 907-031. It claimed fourth place in one of the most challenging races in the world. Its 2.2-liter engine was able to go up against and almost claimed victory against its 5-liter V8 rivals. Porsche 907-031 was the last built and it left the Zuffenhausen workshop just a month before the race. The final preparations on the car were done in May 1968.

There were a total of 21 Porsche 907s built, six in 1967 and fifteen in 1968. This example made $4.85m against an estimated €4m to €6m.

1935 Duesenberg Model JN Convertible Coupe by Rollston and Bohman & Schwartz

Clark Gable, 'The King of Hollywood' ordered one of the four Rollston-bodied convertible coupes built in the so-called JN series, the last two-seater open cars delivered by Duesenberg to customers. The car was partially designed by Gable, and paralleled another event in his life, the courtship of actress Carole Lombard. The Duesenberg became a part of Gable’s life and aura. The couple traveled California coastal roads, including occasional trips to Vancouver. They eventually married in 1939. In 1942 Lombard was killed in a military plane crash in Nevada. By all accounts Gable never wanted to see the car again.

Offered from The Sam and Emily Mann Collection with an estimate of $5.5m to $8m USD. Here.

McLaren F1 GTR

One of the featured lots at RM Sotheby’s 2026 Monterey Car Week auction August 15, is this 1996 McLaren F1 GTR is known as the 'Pop Art F1'. One of 9 built, the one-off graphics isn't what makes the estimate $35m+. The GTR was the race-ready version of the F1 developed at the behest of customers and in contravention of Murray’s vision of the F1 as a pure road car. Relatively minor changes, including carbon-ceramic brakes, a fixed rear wing, and general light-weighting, were enough to nab the 1995 Le Mans win.

This car was eventually sold to Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who had it maintained by F1 specialist firm Lanzante. The company’s stewardship includes regular maintenance throughout Mason’s ownership and a full restoration completed in 2009.

1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

Billed to Shelby American in November 1963, CSX2300 was the third of six Daytona Coupes completed and the only one owned by Carrol Shelby. Prepared in Venice, California, it was shipped to Italy, where Carrozzeria Grandsport in Modena fabricated its lightweight aluminum body. The estimate is $25m at Gooding & Christie’s 22nd annual Pebble Beach Auctions. A sale at this price will set a new marque record and make the Cobra Daytona the most expensive American car. Currently, the most expensive Shelby is the 1962 Shelby 260 Cobra CSX 2000 which sold for $13.7m at RM Sotheby’s Monterey 2016.

Carroll Shelby owned CSX2300 from 1975 to 1998. He entrusted Cobra specialist Mike McCluskey of Torrance, California with a comprehensive restoration to return the car to its 1965 specifications. The car underwent another meticulous restoration in 2000. The most expensive American car ever sold at public auction is the 1935 Duesenberg SSJ of Cary Grant, which sold for $22m at Gooding Pebble Beach 2018. This car is expected to surpass that.

1967 L88 Corvettes

Not everyone may own a 1967 L88 Corvette.

The only 1967 Chevrolet Corvette coupe still carrying its original L88 engine was being offered for sale by the Corvette Mike dealership. The price: $3.95m. The Sunfire Yellow coupe has undergone a 10-year, frame-off restoration with each component, nut and bolt sourced from the original car or from NOS suppliers. Of the 20 L88s produced in 1967, about half still exist, but only three retain their original, 427cid V8 engines, and the other two are convertibles.

The L88 option (RPO L88) was a thinly disguised race car meant for the track. General Motors was trying to comply with a 1957 factory racing ban, so they kept the package quiet and charged a steep premium (about $1,500 over the base Corvette price). Officially rated at 430 hp, the car actually produced over 560 hp.

1967 L88 Corvette Serial No. 21550 stands as the most successful L88 Corvette race car of all time during its eight-year racing career. It took home a record-setting 52 victories. The car high bid to $3.2m at Mecum.

The first L88 Corvette, and the only Tuxedo Black 1967 L88 Convertible built. Campaigned by Tony DeLorenzo and Jerry Thompson in 1967. It high bid to $1.8m at Mecum.

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2

The Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ (Tubolare Zagato) was a sports car and racing car manufactured by Alfa Romeo from 1963 to 1967. The car debuted at the 1963 FISA Monza Cup, where TZs took the first four places in the prototype category. At the beginning of 1964 the TZ was homologated (100 units were needed for homologation) to the Gran Turismo category. After homologation it took many class wins in Europe and North-America. 112 TZ units were built between 1963 and 1965.

In 1965 the car was updated with new fiberglass bodywork providing lower drag and reduced weight of 620 kg (1,370 lb). This new version was also bodied by Zagato masters. The new design was called the TZ2. The TZ2 was only built as a racing version. A total of 12 TZ2s were built.

TZ2 engines were DOHC Inline-4 four which produced 170bhp at 7500rpm. They were good for 160 mph. The racing career of the ‘mini Ferrari GTO’ was brief, but very successful. In 1966 the car ran in five international events, of which it took five first class wins.

Collectors covet all Alfa Romeo race cars and none more than the TZ2. In 1972 an example was offered for $6,750. Today if they change hands at all, that number for a #3 good condition would be closer to $3.6m. Hagerty suggests the number is $4.6m for a #1 concours quality TZ2.
