1959 Scaglietti Corvette

Primarily known for their coachwork on Ferrari race cars, Scaglietti handcrafted three Corvette Italias in collaboration with Gary Laughlin, Jim Hall and Carroll Shelby. Three bare 1959 Corvette chassis were shipped to Scaglietti of Maranello and constructed with a special lightweight alloy body. Their intention was to race the cars against the Ferrari 250 Testarossas and 250 SWB Berlinettas. Scaglietti's principal customer, Enzo Ferrari, was not pleased, and the cars took more than two years to complete.

The 1959 Scaglietti Corvette Italia was intended to be produced in limited numbers, and would have competed in the same market as high-performance European sports cars.

The concept was to use an inexpensive, reliable American drive train mated with an exotic Italian body. One chassis had a four-speed transmission, the others the powerglide, all came with a 283 cubic-inch engine. One of the Scaglietti Corvettes was advertised for sale in Hemmings in 2020 for $995,000.

War Rig up for grabs

13 heavily modified vehicles used in "Mad Max: Fury Road" were up for grabs in 2021 at Oz's Lloyd's Auction. The war rig changed hands for a reported $1m. The Tatra T815, aka the "The War Rig", is a custom vehicle driven by Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max Fury Road.

The third of 56 short-wheelbase examples built; one of only 39 cars originally configured with covered headlamps. Delivered new to Paris. The revised California Spider featured a wider track, Koni telescopic shock absorbers, four-wheel disc brakes, and the latest evolution of the “short-block” V-12 engine.

This 250 GT went to marque specialist Carrozzeria Campana Onorio in Modena, Italy for a two-year nut-and-bolt restoration that included a refinish of the coachwork in Nero. The car changed hands at RM Sotheby's.

Instant Ferrari collection

In 2020 RM Sotheby’s had everybody covered with a baker’s dozen of Ferrari glitz spanning the years 1961 to 2011. It dubbed the single-consigner assemblage the Performance Collection, and it sold at the company's Monterey car week sale.

The jewel of the collection: The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta by Scaglietti

The Performance Collection represents a deep half-century cut of the Ferrari road car portfolio. The consigner chose his cars well.

Ferrari 288 GTO

$8,525,000. Finished in Rosso Corsa Ferrari 300/6 exterior paint over a Pelle Nera VM 8500 interior, it was ordered new with the optional amenities package comprising power windows, air conditioning, leather seats and radio delete. The car shows 2,008 km and retains the specially developed—and now quite rare—Goodyear Eagle VR50 tires that have long since been discontinued.

The Ferrari 288 GTO (Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987. It is designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata. (homologated in Italian). The GTO never raced and all 272 cars built remained road cars. The GTO was a rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 308 GTB with a 2.9 L (2,927 cc) V8.

The "288" refers to the 2.8 litre DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine. It has IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection and a compression ratio of 7.6:1. The 288 GTO is considered to be the first of Ferrari’s modern supercars. It made an indelible mark on the automotive industry despite never seeing competition. It is highly prized today and an essential part of any Ferrari collection. Hagerty says a concours GTO is trending around $4.1m

The GTO could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in around 5 seconds with 0-125 mph (201 km/h) coming in 15 seconds onto a top speed of 189 mph. (304 km/h) It was the fastest street-legal production car of its time.

The cars are intensely collected. This 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO with 2,900 miles from new hammered for $3.3m in January 2020.

The GTO was the first in the lineage of modern Ferrari supercars, and it remains rare, as they are seldom seen outside of air conditioned garages or for public sale. It quickly became the must-have Ferrari for collectors. With a low build number of 272, 288 GTOs are among the best Ferrari investments.
