1956 Jaguar D-Type - CHF 5,181,250 ($6.4m USD)

One of only 71 original D-Types produced by Coventry between 1954 and 1957. Unraced, matching-numbers example with its original chassis and engine. Full rebuild of the original engine conducted by Sportgarage Ruch AG in 2005, set aside and recently reinstalled in preparation for the sale. Comprehensive braking system rebuild completed in December 2024, a CHF 29'000 investment. Eligible for the world's premier historic racing events including the Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Mille Miglia Storica, and more. An exquisite example of Coventry's three-time Le Mans-winning machine.
The Jaguar D-Type was produced by Jaguar Cars Ltd. between 1954 and 1957. Designed specifically to win the Le Mans 24-hour race, it shared the straight-6 XK engine and many mechanical components with its C-Type predecessor. Its structure, however, was radically different, with innovative monocoque construction and slippery aerodynamics that integrated aviation technology, including in some examples a distinctive vertical stabilizer. Total production totaled 71 D-Types, including 18 for factory teams and 53 for privateers.
Rules for the 1958 Le Mans race limited engine sizes to three litres, which ended the domination of the 3.8-litre D-Type. Jaguar developed a 3.0 litre version to power D-Types in the 1958, 1959 and 1960 Le Mans races, but it proved unreliable. This spectactular example carries an estimate of CHF 5'250'000 - CHF 6'250'000. ($6.4m USD to $7.2m USD) Here.

1969 Ford Torino Talladega Fastback - $58k

The Ford Torino Talladega is a muscle car that was produced by Ford only during the first few weeks of 1969. 754 were produced. Matching numbers Q-code 428/335 HP Cobra Jet engine. C6 HD automatic transmission. Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.25 gears. Royal Maroon paint. Power steering. Power brakes. Exterior oil cooler. Original bench seat interior. Believed to be 25,000 miles. Highly original.
Talladegas were equipped with the new 428 Cobra Jet, which, while powerful, was intended as a street engine as it developed high torque at low RPMs, rather than a high-revving race engine.
The Torino Talladega did exactly what Ford hoped it would do on the racing circuit: it won 29 Grand National races during the 1969 and 1970 NASCAR seasons. Ford completely abandoned all of their racing programs, starting with the 1970 season.
Today, a Torino Talladega is a collectible car with Hagerty suggesting a concours example trending around $80k. The car went unsold at Mecum Harrisburg in 2020. It appeared at Mecum's event and made $58k.

The Reventón debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and is one of Lamborghini’s rarest cars. It had a total production run of 20 coupes and 15 roadsters and carried an original sticker price of $1.5m.

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, made $1.97m

1959 Scaglietti Corvette

Primarily known for their coachwork on Ferrari race cars, Scaglietti handcrafted three Corvette Italias in collaboration with Gary Laughlin, Jim Hall and Carroll Shelby. Three bare 1959 Corvette chassis were shipped to Scaglietti of Maranello and constructed with a special lightweight alloy body.

Their intention was to race the cars against the Ferrari 250 Testarossas and 250 SWB Berlinettas. Scaglietti's principal customer, Enzo Ferrari, was not pleased, and the cars took more than two years to complete.
The 1959 Scaglietti Corvette Italia was intended to be produced in limited numbers, and would have competed in the same market as high-performance European sports cars.
The concept was to use an inexpensive, reliable American drive train mated with an exotic Italian body. One chassis had a four-speed transmission, the others the powerglide, all came with a 283 cubic-inch engine. One of the Scaglietti Corvettes was advertised for sale in Hemmings in 2020 for $995,000.

1965 Shelby 427 Cobra Roadster - Carroll Shelby's - $5.9m

CSX3178. Carroll Shelby's personal 427 Cobra since new until his passing. Purchased from Shelby's estate in 2016. One of five 427 Cobras originally finished in Charcoal Gray. Ground-up concours restoration completed in 2019 to exacting 1965 specifications. Original body and chassis. Aluminum head 427 side oiler engine with dual 4-barrel carburetors. Toploader 4-speed manual transmission. Sunburst knock-off wheels.

This 427 Cobra is the big brother of CSX2000, the original small-block Cobra. CSX2000 recently sold for almost $14 million.
The artifact appeared at Mecum.

Ferrari 288 GTO

$8,525,000. Finished in Rosso Corsa Ferrari 300/6 exterior paint over a Pelle Nera VM 8500 interior, it was ordered new with the optional amenities package comprising power windows, air conditioning, leather seats and radio delete. The car shows 2,008 km and retains the specially developed—and now quite rare—Goodyear Eagle VR50 tires that have long since been discontinued.
The Ferrari 288 GTO (Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987. It is designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata. (homologated in Italian). The GTO never raced and all 272 cars built remained road cars. The GTO was a rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 308 GTB with a 2.9 L (2,927 cc) V8.
The "288" refers to the 2.8 litre DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine. It has IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection and a compression ratio of 7.6:1. The 288 GTO is considered to be the first of Ferrari’s modern supercars. It made an indelible mark on the automotive industry despite never seeing competition. It is highly prized today and an essential part of any Ferrari collection.

Hagerty says a concours GTO is trending around $4.1m
The GTO could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in around 5 seconds with 0-125 mph (201 km/h) coming in 15 seconds onto a top speed of 189 mph. (304 km/h) It was the fastest street-legal production car of its time.
The cars are intensely collected. This 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO with 2,900 miles from new hammered for $3.3m in January 2020.
The GTO was the first in the lineage of modern Ferrari supercars, and it remains rare, as they are seldom seen outside of air conditioned garages or for public sale. It quickly became the must-have Ferrari for collectors.

With a low build number of 272, 288 GTOs are among the best Ferrari investments.
