This Eldorado Biarritz is one of the best, if not the very best, example in the world. It underwent a complete frame-off nut and bolt “cost is no object” restoration to concours quality.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette SS Project XP-64 - $7.7m

The first purpose-built GM racecar. The only Chevrolet Corvette SS completed and campaigned by General Motors. Raced at the 1957 Sebring 12 Hours. Powered by a Chevrolet 283-cu.-in. V-8 with Ramjet fuel injection; backed by a four-speed manual gearbox. A design exercise in lightweight construction and aerodynamics; the sole Corvette SS built with magnesium bodywork. The car was driven by Piero Taruffi and John Fitch and retired after 23 laps with “electrical gremlins, bad brakes, and finally, terminal rear end problems.” While the XP-64 was fast, it had reliability issues, and the magnesium body made the cabin unbearably hot.

The SS Project XP-64 became the most expensive Corvette of all time when it sold at auction for $7.7m. The race car was the brainchild of Zora Arkus-Duntov, the “father of the Corvette.”The Corvette SS Project XP-64 was housed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum since 1967.

Beneath the skin of the car is a lightweight tubular frame made from chrome-molybdenum tubing. The body was then crafted from magnesium and aimed to be as streamlined as possible. Power comes from a 283 cubic-inch V8 equipped with a high-performance camshaft, aluminum cylinder heads, and fuel injection, producing around 300 hp. The engine was paired to a four-speed manual transmission. The SS tipped the scales at just 1,850 pounds (839 kg) dry—nearly 1,000 pounds lighter than a production Corvette. It took five months for the XP-64 to be built and begin testing. The car changed hands in 2024 at RM Sotheby.

1971 Chevrolet Corvette LS6 convertible - $178k

33,155 miles. Unrestored. 1 of 188 LS6 Corvettes produced for 1971, estimated 50 were convertibles. Matching numbers. Original LS6 454/425 HP V-8 engine. Aluminum heads. Transistorized ignition. A.I.R. emissions equipment. M22 4-speed manual transmission. Sunflower Yellow with White soft top. Black vinyl auxiliary hardtop. The LS6 454/425 HP engine was a one-year-only option. The 1971 LS6-powered Corvette's high-compression engine marked the peak of the muscle-car era. The Chevy last-of-kind powerplant would be not be seen again as emission regulations took its grip. High-compression engines required leaded fuel and that was banned.

With a compression ratio of 11.25:1, the LS6 (in it's peak form) redlined at 6500 RPMs to produce 450 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. A forged steel crankshaft with forged aluminum connecting rods was used to maximize the output of this high revving engine. To control emissions, engineers installed an air injection reactor pump to increase air into the exhaust system. That was usually the first thing to be removed by owners.

The LS6 added a huge $1,221 to the Corvette’s $5,500 base price. The reworked LS6 for the 1971 Corvette had a 9.0:1 compression ratio and produced 425 horsepower @5600 RPM and 475 lb-ft of torque @ 4000 RPM. The Corvette could still hit 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds, just a fraction slower than the original. Inside, the cockpit-style interior embraced the classic two-seat format. Available creature comforts included an AM/FM radio as well as power steering and power brakes. The car made $178k at Mecum Indy.
