The 1970 Plymouth Superbird was a one year only, NASCAR-homologation version of the Plymouth Road Runner. It was offered with powerful engine options, including the 440 CID or the top dog 426 CID Hemi V8, and was designed to dominate NASCAR racing.
The Superbird's smoothed-out body and nosecone were further refined from that of the Daytona, and the street version's pop-up headlights added nineteen inches to the Road Runner's original length. Superbirds had three engine options: the 426 Hemi V8 engine producing 425 bhp, the 440 Super Commando Six Barrel with 3X2-barrel carburetors producing 390 hp and the 375 hp 440 Super Commando with a single 4-barrel carburetor. Only 135 units were fitted with the 426 Hemi. It's believed that over 1,000 Plymouth Superbirds exist today. This example appeared at Mecum.
Dozens of Jaguars, BMWs and Mercedes have been left with the keys in the ignitions by former owners who decided to cut their losses and run away rather than face potential jail sentences under Dubai’s strict debt laws. More than 3,000 cars are abandoned every year — to be sold off by Dubai police or scrapped.
High end sports cars gather dust at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports after panicked expats flee the country to avoid prison. Under Sharia law which is observed across the Middle East, non-payment of debt is a criminal offence. As the UAE has no bankruptcy laws, there is no protection for those slipping into debt, even accidentally. There have been cases of foreigners being prevented from leaving the Emirates after being blacklisted.
Missing a credit card payment or bouncing a cheque in Dubai means jail.
The engine on chassis 57502 was fitted with a supercharger by its second owner. This gave it a mind-boggling 220 hp.
The Type 57S is one of the most sought-after of all Bugattis.
This 1937 Type 57S Atalante sold for £7,855,000. ($10,179,000)
These cars don't appear for sale often. When they do the price is over $10m. In 2009 a rare, unrestored 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante Coupe was found decaying in the garage of a British doctor. He died in 2007, and reportedly had kept the vehicle parked in his garage since the early 1960s and hadn’t driven it in five decades. A month later the car sold at a Paris auction for some $4.4 million.

9,462 miles. 6.0L/661 HP V-12.
Automatic. Corsa Red over Nero. The 599 GTO is a road-legal version of the 599XX track car. Its engine generates a power output of 660 hp at 8,250 rpm and 457 lb⋅ft at 6,500 rpm. The car has the multiple shift program for the gearbox from the 599XX along with the exhaust system. Ferrari claimed that the 599 GTO could accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in under 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of over 335 km/h (208 mph).
At 1,605 kg (3,538 lb), the 599 GTO weighs almost 100 kg (220 lb) less than the standard GTB. Production was limited to 599 cars. Of these, 125 were produced for the United States market.
The 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO had a base price around $416,550 for the chosen Ferrarista. By 2019, the cars were often trading for $550k–$600k. This example made $1.1m at Mecum. In January an example with 2119 miles high bid to $1.4m.
A beat up, dull green 1968 Ford Mustang GT driven by Steve McQueen in the movie "Bullitt" became the most valuable Ford Mustang ever sold at auction. It went for $3.7m in Kissimmee, Florida in 2020. The vendor was Sean Kiernan, whose late father Robert Kiernan purchased the car for $3,500 in 1974. McQueen tried to buy the car several times with no success. The 10 minute 'Bullitt' chase scene is considered the first and still one of the best 'modern' auto chase scenes. It set the standard for Hollywood car chases for generations.
