Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale

The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a mid-engined sports car built by Alfa Romeo between 1967 and 1969. "Stradale" (Italian for "road-going") is a term used by Italian car manufacturers to indicate a street-legal version of a racing car. The 33 Stradale was derived from the Tipo 33 sports prototype. 18 examples were made. The 33 Stradale is the first production vehicle to feature dihedral or 'butterfly' doors.

The car was designed with a dry-sump lubricated all aluminum 1,995 cc (121.7 cu in) V8 that featured fuel injection, four ignition coils and 16 spark plugs. The first production Stradale claimed 243 hp at 9,400 rpm with a "street" exhaust and 254 hp with open exhaust. Like the racing car the transmission was a six-speed transaxle gearbox.

The car takes 5.5 seconds to reach 60 mph (96.6 km/h) from a standing start and has a top speed of 260 km/h (160 mph). In 1968 it was the fastest commercially available car in the standing kilometer with time of 24 seconds. It was the most expensive automobile for sale to the public in 1968 at US$17,000. Today fewer than 10 are known to exist and very rarely come up for auction. At a minimum a concours example would expect to make $10m

The 2024 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a limited-run, bespoke supercar reviving the 1967 design. Only 33 units were produced, offering a 620-hp twin-turbo V6 or a 750-hp electric powertrain, both capable of speeds over 207 mph. Price is about $1.85m to $3.2M+ USD before taxes and options.

1970 Chevrolet Camaro SS - $68k

Factory Hugger Orange on Black L78 Camaro SS. Rotisserie restoration with only test miles since completion. Original GM sheet metal. Last year for the L78 engine. Counter exchange 396/375 HP V-8. Rare 1970 L78-exclusive dual snorkel air cleaner. AIR Smog system intact. Gardner exhaust. M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed manual transmission. 12 bolt 4.10 Positraction differential. Power steering. Power brakes. Factory correct Hugger Orange lacquer paint. Detailed undercarraige. Black bucket seat interior.

The L78 option was in its final year, soon to fall to emission controls.

600 Camaros were produced with an L78 engine in 1970.

The car made $68,750 in 2020 against an estimate of $75,000 to $85,000.

1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

Recent comprehensive restoration. Red exterior with black racing stripes and standard black vinyl interior. 454 CI V-8 engine with 4-barrel carburetor with performance exhaust. Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission. Power steering. Power brakes. New restored interior. Many overlook the second-generation Camaro Z28. For a few short years in the early ’70s, Z/28s still offered serious performance.

The 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 wasn't a pretender. The Z/28 package came with heavy duty suspension and positraction. Under the hood lurked a 360 hp version of the solid lifter, high-compression LT1 engine out of the Corvette. Of the 1970–73 Camaro Z/28s, the 1970 is the most desirable because with each subsequent year, a little more performance got choked out of the Camaro as muscle cars fizzled out. In 1973, 11,500 Z/28 were built.

A manual 4-speed and the Rally Sport (RS) package is the bomb.

According to Hagerty a #1 concours car is trending around $47k, down sharply.

In 2019 this example crossed the block at Mecum and high bid to $27,500.

2004 Porsche Carrera GT - the widow maker

The 2004 Porsche Carrera GT boasts a 5.7-liter V-10 spitting out 605 hp @ 8,000 rpm and 435 ft lbs @ 5,750 rpm through a six-speed manual with power delivery via a Porsche ceramic composite clutch. 0-60 mph comes in ~3.5 seconds with a 205 mph top speed. 664 were produced to US specification.

The 2004 Porsche Carrera GT features carbon-fiber construction. It's revered as one of the last great analog supercars.

Porsche intended to manufacture 1,500 examples, but produced only 1,270, priced from $440k. Lacking electronic stability control, only the most accomplished drivers dare take the car to it's limits. Carrera GTs have infamously ended up with dead occupants, including actor Paul Walker. Despite a deserved reputation as a widow maker the car has become hugely collectible. Hagerty suggests a concours 2004 Porsche Carrera GT is trending around $2m.

1971 Plymouth Cuda Convertible - $1.1m

1 of only 12 BBL Automatic Cuda Convertibles produced in 1971. Documented with the original broadcast sheet. Extensive restoration completed with original and NOS parts. Believed to be 21,026 miles. 440 BBL engine. Dual exhaust with chrome tips. D32 Heavy duty automatic transmission. A34 Super Track Pak with 4.10 gears. Power brakes. FE5 Bright Red with Black convertible top.

The multi-carbureted Mopar E-body convertibles of the early 1970s are among the most highly desired vehicles. Under the scalloped hood is the 440 6-BBL engine with a 385 HP rating.

The engine bay features the oval air cleaner, OE-design black battery, cast manifolds and dual exhaust ending in chrome tips. Built under the A34 Super Track Pak code, this Plymouth came with the D32 heavy-duty A727 automatic transmission and a Dana 60 differential featuring 4.10 Sure Grip gearing.

Final-year 1971 Cuda convertibles are well established among enthusiasts as the ultimate muscle car. While the 7 Hemi Cuda convertibles stand at the apex as the most valuable engine-option for 1971, the 17 Cuda convertibles built with the V-code 440 6-BBL engine command great respect.

James Dean's cursed Porsche 550 Spyder

Dean's immortality rests on these three films.

James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931 – September 30, 1955) was an American actor. He is a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement. His most celebrated film was Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark. The other two roles that defined his stardom were loner Cal Trask in East of Eden (1955) and surly ranch hand Jett Rink in Giant (1956).

Last photograph of James Dean taken hours before his death.

He became the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Since James Dean's death in 1955, the Porsche 550 Spyder has become infamous as the car that killed him. While filming Rebel Without A Cause, James Dean had upgraded from the 356 to the 550 Spyder and decided that he wanted to make it uniquely his. Dean called upon George Barris, of movie car fame, to customize the Porsche. He gave it tartan seats, two red stripes over the rear wheels and plastered the number ‘130' on its doors, hood and engine cover.

On September 23 1955, Dean met actor Alec Guinness outside of a restaurant and had him take a look at the Spyder. Guinness told Dean that the car had a "sinister" appearance and then told Dean: "If you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week." Seven days later, Dean would be killed in the car. Dean was travelling U.S. Route 466 at approximately 5:15 p.m. when a 1950 Ford Tudor made a hesitant attempt to turn away from an intersection, placing him at the center of the road.

The porsche slammed into the driver's quadrant of a Ford Tudor at high speed, flipped and crossed the pavement onto the side of the highway. The driver, Donald Turnupseed, exited his vehicle with minor injuries. Dean sustained numerous fatal injuries, including a broken neck.

George Barris bought the wrecked car and soon after it slipped off its trailer and broke a mechanics leg. Not long after Barris sold the engine and drivetrain to Troy McHenry and William Eschrid. While the two were both racing against one another in cars that had parts from the car, McHenry lost control and hit a tree, killing him instantly and Eschrid was seriously injured when his car suddenly locked up and rolled over while going into a turn. Barris had two tires from the 550 which were untouched in Dean's accident. He sold them and not long after, both blew out simultaneously causing the new owner's car to run off the road. Barris kept the car but it caught the attention of two would-be thieves. One of the thieves arms was torn open trying to steal the steering wheel while the other was injured trying to remove the bloodstained tartan seat.

The curse continued when the car was being transported when the truck carrying it lost control which caused the driver to fall out and somehow get crushed by the car after it fell off the back. The car fell off two more transport trucks while travelling. The car mysteriously vanished and hasn't been seen since.
