1965 Ferrari 275 GTS by Pininfarina

The Ferrari 275 is a series of front-engined V12-powered grand touring cars with two-seater coupé and spider bodies produced by Ferrari between 1964 and 1968. The first 275 series cars were powered by a 3.3L dual overhead camshaft Colombo 60° V12 engine producing 260–320 hp. An updated 275 GTB/4 was introduced in 1966, with a revised four overhead camshaft engine producing 300 hp. The 275 series were the first road-going Ferraris equipped with a transaxle and independent rear suspension.

In all, 474 275 GTB/2’s were built between 1964 and 1966 in three basic series.

This example is the 189th of 200 built and appears at RM Sotheby's Abu Dhabi

1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS - $60k

The Chevrolet Chevelle was produced by Chevrolet in three generations for the 1964 through 1977 model years. Part of the GMs A-Body platform, the Chevelle was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. The Chevelle Super Sport, or SS, represented Chevrolet's entry into the muscle car battle. 396/350 HP big block engine. Three year frame-off restoration. Air conditioning. Power-assisted steering and brakes.

1967 marked the end of the first generation. The ’Coke Bottle’ design is distinctive.

Prices in 1967 started at $2,825 for the coupe and $3,033 for the ragtop. 63,000 were built. 0-60 mph was pegged at 6.5 sec.

This example appeared at Mecum's and made $60k.

Lamborghini Reventón

The Reventón debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and is one of Lamborghini’s rarest cars. It had a total production run of 21, and carried an original sticker price of $1.5m. It was named in the Lamborghini tradition after the fighting bull that killed famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943. The car packs a 6.5L V-12 engine pushing 641 bhp through a paddle-shifted E-Gear 6-speed transmission.

The Reventón sported exclusive composite carbon-fiber body panels, inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, over its carbon-fiber and steel main structure. The Reventón accelerates to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds on the way to a 211 mph top speed.

Driven 168 miles, this example was estimated at Mecum Monterey in 2018 at $1.7 to $2m. The car failed to change hands.

A Lamborghini Reventon Roadster, owned by a dictator's son, recently made $1.97m

2020 Nissan Nismo GT-R

The 2020 GT-R Nismo packs the legendary VR38DETT 3.8-liter, twin-turbo V6. The two new turbochargers were lifted straight from Nissan's GT3 GT-R race car. This translates to a 20 percent improvement in engine response from zero to wide-open throttle. It makes 600 hp at 6,800 rpm and 486 lb-ft. The Nismo uses a six-speed, dual-clutch transmission. Nissan confirmed that the Nismo will cost a whooping $212,435. That makes it almost twice as much as a base GT-R. The jury is out if that represents value for the dollar.

A body might buy a McLaren 570S or a Porsche 911 GT3 RS for similar dollars, and both are arguably better than the Nissan Nismo GT-R.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 'Split-Window' - $94k

1963 marked the 10-year anniversary of the Chevrolet Corvette. It was celebrated with a new 'Sting Ray' design. The new Corvette featured independent rear suspension, optional power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. The iconic ‘split-window’ was a one year only design.

The car was fitted with the L75 300-hp, 327-cu. in. V-8 engine and a Powerglide automatic transmission. This ‘Split-Window’ was listed at $5,648.95 when new, including a $59 delivery charge.

This example is very much the way it left the factory in 1963. The car made $93k against an estimate of $100k to $150k.

Power disc brakes. Power steering. Factory Shaker hood. Original broadcast sheet. Expensive when new, the Hemi Challenger R/T was never common, and insurance rates and increased emission controls would cause the option to end forever in 1971.
