1931 Bugatti Type 50 Roadster

The Bugatti Type 50 was a development of the Type 46 touring model that employed a powerful new engine. A new dual overhead-cam straight eight was equipped with two carburetors, a large supercharger, and dry sump lubrication; this same engine, in tuned form, was used in the Type 54 Grand Prix racecar. Of the 65 cars built, only four had factory roadster coachwork and this is the sole remaining example.

Chassis 50123 was described by Road & Track, July 1958 as 'a sports car of Herculean size and strength.' The car is capable of producing over 200 hp with its Roots-type supercharger and dual Zenith carburetors.

Depending on the body style the Type 50 might reach a top speed of 105 mph and a 0-60 time of eight seconds. Production of the Type 50 lasted from 1930 through 1933 with just 65 built. Many magnificent bodies, both closed and open, were installed on the Type 50 chassis.

The Type 50 is a highly regarded and rare automobile. It made $ 1.5m in May 2019.

1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale by Scaglietti

Behold, one of the rarest, most expensive Ferraris in the world. Ferrari built 453 examples of the 275 GTB for consumers, but only three 275 GTB/C Speciales were assembled to contest the 1965 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Machines built for racing were stamped with a 'C' for 'Competizione'. The "special" 275 GTBs had thinner body panels that trimmed 300 pounds.

The three 275 GTB/C Speciales were hand-built, utilizing a lightweight tube-frame chassis wrapped in aluminum body panels, with power coming from a 3.3-liter V-12 engine. In competition form, six Weber 38 DCN carburetors fed the Type 213 engine which produced 320 hp. The first car built, chassis 06701, never saw competition, but it brought $28.4m at RM Sotheby's in 2014.

The first Ferrari with independent rear suspension and a transaxle gearbox, it was a major improvement over the outgoing 250 and an evolution of the 250 GTO. Completed in April 1965, chassis 06701 was the first 275 GTB/C Speciale built.

Ferrari would go on to produce another dozen 275 GTB/C models for the 1966 racing season.

Only chassis 06885 would see competitive action. Although its racing career was brief, 06885 quickly proved the potency of the Speciales.

At the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans it won the GT class and finished third overall behind a pair of Ferrari 250 LMs. 06885 lost its owner when millionaire Preston Henn, a South Florida flea-market magnate, died at age 86 in 2017. His 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale is one of the world’s most valuable cars.

Henn was survived by his wife of more than 60 years, Betty, and four children. Before passing, he said he made sure his beloved Ferrari will stay on display after he is gone. His wife said "That was his crown jewel, at one point he said he wanted to be buried in it."

1975 Lamborghini Countach LP400 ‘Periscopica’

One of 158 Countach LP400 ‘Periscopicas’ made, chassis 1120064 is presented in its original Blu Metallizzato livery. The LP400 Countach was unveiled in prototype form at the 1973 Geneva Auto Show and entered production the following year. Featuring scissor doors, origami-like bodywork, a periscope-style rearview mirror, and a four-liter V-12, the original Countach is the definitive Italian supercar of the 1970s.

‘Periscopica’ refers to the roof mounted periscope used by the early Countach to provide some semblance of rearward visibility – the channel in the roof reflected light into the rear-vision mirror which gave the driver a vague idea of what was behind him. The thundering 3929cc DOHC V12 was capable of 375hp at 8,000 rpm through a 5-speed transmission, 4-wheel independent suspension with stopping power provided by 4-wheel disc brakes. This example appeared at Gooding in 2020 with an estimate of $900k to $1.1m.

1958 Porsche 356A

The Porsche 356 is a sports car first produced in 1948–1949. It was Porsche's first production automobile. The 356 is a lightweight, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door, sports car available in hardtop coupé and open configurations. Production started in 1948 in Austria, where 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany. Of the 76,000 produced, its thought half survive.

Porsche 356 1948 coupé

In early 1957 a second revision of the 356A was produced, known as Type 2 (or T2). Production of the Speedster peaked at 1,171 cars in 1957 and then started to decline.

The most-iconic 356 body style, the Speedster, was a basic $2,995 version of the car with racing-style bucket seats, and a low windshield.

Without Porsche’s diminutive 356, the company would not be where it is today. The top-shelf engine for the 356 A was the ‘Super’ version, which produced 88 horsepower. Replicas of the 356 A have become very popular. Hagerty suggests a concours 1958 Porsche 356 A 1600 Super Coupé is trending around $275k.
