All-Wheel-Drive 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible

This 1970 Ford Mustang might not look like much but it carries a remarkable secret "factory" all-wheel-drive, making it likely the only one in existence. Ford examined the concept of AWD and had a British company named “Ferguson Research” fit its crude all-wheel-drive system into the mustang. The AWD Mustangs also featured an ABS braking system, long before the feature was common. In 2017 a 1970 Mustang FF (“Ferguson Formula”) 4×4 was listed for sale in the Netherlands.

There was no word on what happened to the vehicle.

Though performance and handling were improved, the modifications were too expensive and Ford decided not to pursue AWD. It's believed that three Mustangs were fitted with AWD, the other two being coupes.

1962 Ferrari 250 California Spyder by Scaglietti

Behold an icon. 280 bhp, 2,953 cc single overhead camshaft V-12 engine, three Weber carburetors, four-speed gearbox, independent front suspension via A-arms, coil springs, and telescopic shock absorbers, live rear axle with semi-elliptical springs and telescopic shock absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes.

An incredibly rare car, the 1962 Ferrari 250 California Spyder is one of the prettiest and most desirable open-topped Ferraris ever made. Ferrari produced a total of just 106 California Spyders, 56 of them on the short wheelbase chassis. Of those 56, 37 were delivered with the covered-headlamp variant.

The California Spyder was based upon the 250 GT Tour de France, Ferrari’s dual-purpose berlinetta.

This example crossed the block at Monterey in 1999 It failed to change hands on a $10,500,000 - $13,000,000 estimate.

1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale by Scaglietti

Ferrari built 453 examples of the 275 GTB for consumers, but only three 275 GTB/C Speciales were assembled to contest the 1965 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The first car built, chassis 06701, never saw competition, but it brought $28.4m at RM Sotheby's in 2014. The three 275 GTB/C Speciales were hand-built, utilizing a lightweight tube-frame chassis wrapped in aluminum body panels, with power coming from a 3.3-liter V-12 engine. In competition form, six Weber 38 DCN carburetors fed the Type 213 engine which produced 320 hp.

The first Ferrari with independent rear suspension and a transaxle gearbox, it was a major improvement over the outgoing 250 and an evolution of the 250 GTO. Completed in April 1965, chassis 06701 was the first 275 GTB/C Speciale built.

Ferrari would go on to produce another dozen 275 GTB/C models for the 1966 racing season.

Machines built for racing were stamped with a 'C' for 'Competizione'. Only chassis 06885 would see competitive action. Although its racing career was brief, 06885 quickly proved the potency of the Speciales.

At the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans it won the GT class and finished third overall behind a pair of Ferrari 250 LMs. 06885 lost its owner when millionaire Preston Henn, a South Florida flea-market magnate, died at age 86 in 2017. His 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale is one of the world’s most valuable cars.

The "special" 275 GTBs had thinner body panels that trimmed 300 pounds.

Henn is survived by his wife of more than 60 years, Betty, and four children. Before passing, he said he made sure his beloved Ferrari will stay on display after he is gone. His wife said "That was his crown jewel, at one point he said he wanted to be buried in it."

1985 Ferrari 288 GTO at RM Sotheby's - flashback

It is 1999. This pristine 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO with 13,800 actual kilometers failed to find a buyer at $2.6m. That number would be something past $4.1m today.

By 1984, the words Gran Turismo Omologato already carried enormous weight in the Ferrari world. The 250 GTO was long considered the finest sports racer that Ferrari had ever produced. The GTO was nothing short of legend. For Ferrari to revive that legendary moniker, the new GTO would have huge expectations. Group B was incredibly popular following its introduction in the early ’80s, and Ferrari was eager to jump into the fray.

Group B was canceled, leaving Ferrari with a fully developed and homologated car on their hands but no series to compete in. The race-bred, 2.8-liter V-8 engine with twin IHI turbochargers pumped out a massive 400 hp with 366 foot-pounds of twist. The GTO could rocket to 189 mph, making it the fastest road car produced at the time. The car could reach 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and 100 mph in 10.2.

272 examples were built. Chassis 55237 was the 137th Ferrari 288 GTO made and was fitted from the factory with air-conditioning, power windows, red seat inserts, and the optional Ansa sport exhaust.

The 288 GTO is an absolute 'must-have' for any discerning Ferrari collector. As a core 'halo' car, high-quality examples are becoming more difficult to acquire and they command a significant premium over fair examples. Values cross the board trend only upward. Hagerty suggests a top tier example is trending around $2.4m. This example appeared at Monterey in August.

1957 Ferrari 335 Sport

The Ferrari 335 S is a sports racing car produced by Ferrari in 1957-8. Four cars were produced. It had a V12 engine with a 4,023.32 cc (245.518 cu in) displacement and featured twin overhead camshafts, two valves per cylinder and six Weber 44 DCN carbs giving a maximum power of 390 horsepower at 7400 rpm. Top speed was around 300 kmh (190 mph)

The 335 S has a dark history. When it raced at the 1957 Mille Miglia, a blown tire caused one of the cars to careen off the road and into a crowd of spectators. The driver, co-driver and 10 spectators were killed in the crash.

Grizzly association or not, the 335 S is one of the most valuable cars in the world. In 2016, a 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti sold for €32.1 million. Estimated between $30 to $34 million, the car sold for $35,711,359, narrowly missing the record $38 million a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta brought.

2018 Bugatti Chiron

4,379 miles. Total MSRP exceeding $3.5 million when delivered new to Bugatti San Diego. Full Black Exposed Carbon Fiber exterior, a $315k factory option. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was unveiled in 2005 as the first production car to surpass 987 horsepower and exceed 400 km/h (249 mph). The Chiron was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Over an eight-year production run concluding in 2024, 500 examples were built. The heart of the Chiron was Bugatti's 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine tuned to deliver 1,479 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque channeled through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and intelligent all-wheel-drive. Zero to 60 mph comes in under 2.5 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 261 mph.

The car appears at Broad Arrow with an estimate of $3,000,000 - $3,500,000

1959 Ferrari California Spider Competizione - $10.84m

Created as an open-top counterpart to the 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, the California Spider was developed for the North American market. Between 1957 and 1962, Ferrari built 106 California Spiders on two chassis variants: a total of 50 examples on the original long-wheelbase (LWB) followed by 56 of the later short-wheelbase (SWB). Of the 50 examples of the LWB California Spider built, 10 were supplied in competition trim.

A 2,953 cc Tipo 128D SOHC V-12 engine developed 253 bhp at 7,200 rpm and is fitted with hi-lift cams and a four-speed competition gearbox. Chassis No.1235 GT retains its matching-numbers engine, gearbox and differential. Recently restored and painted with its original tricolor livery.

The car brought $10.84m in 2021.

1934 Packard Twelve Individual Custom Stationary Coupe by Dietrich - $4.2m

One of five survivors. Pebble Beach Best in Class. Series 1108. Body Style 4068. 160 bhp, 445.5 cu. in. modified L-head V-12 engine, three-speed selective synchromesh manual transmission, vacuum-assist clutch, shaft drive with a hypoid rear axle, front and rear leaf-spring suspension, and four-wheel vacuum-assist drum brakes.

Packard became one of Dietrich’s best customers. After 1933, all open Packards carried Dietrich body tags. One of the most impressive Dietrich bodies was the two-passenger stationary coupe, named to set it apart from the roadster. Chassis 1108-32 was sold to Mrs. Eken, the spouse of Andrew Jackson Eken, one of the contractors who built the Empire State Building.

The completely restored car debuted at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it was recognized with a First in Class, the CCCA Award of Excellence, and the Most Elegant Closed Car.

These spectacular cars usually reside solely in museums. The car made $ 4.2m in 2015.
