1926 Harley-Davidson Peashooter

Auction Lot F44, Monterey. From the estate of long time AMA racer and collector. Powered by 1928 H-D race motor, very common with successful race bikes.

Factory built Harley-Davidson racer. Not restored. First year produced. Rare original short frame by Harley. Board track racer. Overhead valve twin port. Barrel valve alcohol carburetor. Equipped with 1928 21 CI engine. Direct drive no brakes.
Harley-Davidson built a pair of new machines with single-cylinder side-valve engines in 1926: the Models A and B. Harley-Davidson's factory-built production racer was known as the Peashooter.

The unrestored machine features a patina from its years of racing, which included a replacement motor in 1928.
There are very few Peashooters left with an as-last-raced finish, meaning a machine in this condition will be desired. Estimate is $70k to $90k.

2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray features a 6.2-litre small-block V8 that pumps out 495 hp (at 6,450 rpm) and 470 pound-feet of torque (at 5,150 rpm), the most for any entry-level model in Corvette history.
It will be mated to a new Tremec eight-speed dual-clutch transaxle. GM claims the new C8 will break the three-second barrier to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometres per hour).
GM estimates the C8 Stingray will start around $60,000. That means the Chevrolet Corvette could remain the bang-for-buck performance champion of the world.

Panther ProgettoUno unveiled

The Panther ProgettoUno was presented during the 2019 edition of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. The Panther ProgettoUno takes inspiration for its design from the Pantera, the iconic supercar born in the 70s in Modena. Driven by a V10 aspirated engine with a maximum output of 650 HP, the Panther ProgettoUno sports a handcrafted carbon fiber body.
The original Pantera and the modern-day donor car share broadly similar dimensions. Power is sent to all four wheels through a LDF transmission.

Price for the ARES Design Panther ProgettoUno start from a rock bottom €615.000, with an estimated delivery time of 12 weeks.
