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.

1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger R/T - $302k

Original broadcast sheet. Nut and bolt rotisserie restoration. The only documented Plum Crazy Hemi 4-speed Challenger R/T with Shaker hood and Super Track Pack. 1 of 5 Hemi Shaker Challenger R/T 4-speed Hardtops known to exist. 426/425 HP Hemi V-8 engine. 4-speed transmission. Hurst Pistol Grip shifter. Plum Crazy with Black vinyl top and interior.

The Challenger could be had with 11 possible engines from a 6-cylinder on up, to versions like this, completely optioned for performance. Over the following four years, the car’s potential options list grew much smaller, leaving big-block examples from 1970 and 1971 as the apex collector models.

This example is exclusive as one of only five Hemi “Shaker” Challenger R/T 4-speed hardtops known to exist. The option was “delisted” in late 1969, and very few cars came with it again until the end of the production run. This Hemi features dual 4-barrel carbs, hydraulic cam and electronic ignition. The engine choice also brought specific suspension and frame components.

This top tier example made $302k at Kissimmee against an estimate of $285k to $350k

1968 Alfa Romeo T33/2 ‘Daytona’

Alfa Romeo had great success throughout the early 1960s in various touring and GT races. The decision was made to return to international sports car racing. The heart of Alfa’s return would be the two-litre V-8 engine. This effort would encompass 11 racing seasons and result in Alfa winning the World Championship in 1977. The Daytona featured a high revving 270 bhp, 1,995 cc DOHC V-8 engine with dual-ignition and indirect fuel injection, six-speed gearbox, independent front and rear suspension, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel disc brakes.

In 2014 a 1968 Alfa Romeo T33/2 ‘Daytona’ changed hands for €1,260,000.

Huayra Roadster BC

Behold the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC. Powered by a 6.0-liter AMG V12, the Huayra Roadster BC pumps out 791 hp and 774 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels via a seven-speed Xtrac sequential gearbox with a lightweight single clutch.

The Huayra Roadster BC uses a completely new composite of carbon for more stiffness and lighter weight, bringing the overall weight to 1,250kg. The car is said to create 500kg of downforce at 174mph.

The Huayra Roadster BC isn't for everybody, it's $3.5m price guarantees that. 40 units in total will be built.

The new car comes with an open top. (hard, removable rooftop is available) It has the same jumble stack of tailpipes and rear-view mirrors that have become signature to Pagani.

The 20-year-old Italian brand unveiled its Huayra Roadster BC in the popular Zynga game CSR Racing 2. It debuted in late 2019, and naturally all 40 units are spoken for.

1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale by Bertone

The Lancia Stratos is one of the most successful rally cars ever built. Eventually earning its first win in 1973, by 1974 it was on its way to supremacy in Group 4 rallying. Entry into that year’s World Rally Championship required a homologation of 500 road-legal units, and production commenced in 1973. Only 492 examples were completed as the Group 4 production requirement was lowered to 400 units. With a recent restoration to concours standards, chassis no. 001976 is one of the finest examples to be offered in years.

The Ferrari Dino V6 engine was phased out in 1974, but 500 engines - among the last built - were delivered to Lancia. The car made 188 bhp at 7,000 rpm and 166 lb⋅ft at 4,000 rpm, giving a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 6.8 seconds, and a top speed of 232 km/h (144 mph). Production ended in 1975.

The car won the 1974, 1975 and 1976 championship titles as well as victories on the 1975, 1976 and 1977 Monte Carlo Rally. This example appears at RM Sotheby's and carries an estimate of $500k to $600k.

1969 Ford Mustang mach 1 - 'Hitman'

Classic Recreations created the 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. Dubbed 'Hitman' It started with a genuine 1969 Mach 1 body, although CR will use modern, Ford-licensed shells at customer request. CR's standard Mach 1 comes with a 345-horsepower, 5.0-liter Coyote V8. Hitman sports twin-turbocharges that bring that to 1,000 hp. That goes through a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox to a nine-inch Positraction rear end. A Mach 1 with the usual kit starts at $169k and includes the Hitman Grey and Beagle Black paint job

John Wick’s car is billed as a Boss 429 but it is a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. Ford quoted output as 325 bhp and 440lb-ft torque. Real figures were more like 425 bhp and 500 lb-ft.

1986 Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione

One of the rarest and most overlooked Ferraris ever is the 288 GTO Evoluzione of 1986, a car that could be seen as the prototype for the first true Ferrari supercar, the F40. Ferrari only built six of the Evoluziones. Ferrari built a special version of its 308 GTBi, of Magnum P.I. fame, the 288 GTO, as the required street-legal version of the planned race car.

The 288 GTO Evoluzione originally put out as much as 650 hp. The car had a top speed of 225 mph. These cars form the clearest visual link between the 288 GTO and the F40 soon to follow.

While the production 288 GTO's twin-turbcharged 2.9-liter V8 engine cranked out 400 horsepower, the Evoluzione's larger turbos boosted its engine. Use of lightweight materials kept the Evoluzione's mass down to less than 2,100 lbs. These orphaned racers are exceedingly rare and expensive. The going price if you simply MUST have one is something north of $2m.

1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible

Pagani Imola

Developed at and named for the Imola circuit in Bologna, Italy, the latest Pagani relies on a twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG V-12 6 liter engine that makes 827 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque through a seven-speed automated manual gearbox. The Huayra Imola tips the scales at just 2,747 pounds. (1,246 kilograms) Stopping power comes from a set of Brembo six-piston, 15.7-inch front and four-piston, 15 inch rear calipers and rotors. Sold on the $5.4m track only supercar? Too bad. The 5 units slated for production have all been sold.
