1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro - $258k

The Yenko Camaro remains one of the quickest and most collectible of all American supercars with just 201 built for 1969. In addition to the COPO 9561 L72 427/425 HP big-block engine, this legend was also produced with the COPO 9737 (Sports Car Conversion) package including a 13/16-inch front stabilizer bar, 15x7 Rally wheels, E70x15 tires and a 140 MPH speedometer. Just six exterior colors were available and this car is one of 29 Daytona Yellow cars produced with a 4-speed manual transmission.

Restored in 1996 by Joe and Paul Sievers of Vincennes, Indiana, this 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro is accompanied by a COPO Connection Certificate and a copy of the Yenko dealer invoice.

The monster iron-block and head, solid-lifter L72 427 was pegged at 425 bhp but Yenko rated it a more-realistic 450. The package added about $800 to a base coupe, including $490 for the engine.

This example made $258k in 2019.

1952 Ferrari 225 S Berlinetta by Vignale

The 1952 Ferrari 225 S featured a 2,715 cc SOHC V-12 engine with triple Weber 36 DCF downdraft carburetors, producing 210 bhp through a five-speed manual gearbox, independent double wishbones with a transverse leaf spring front suspension, rigid axle with semi-elliptic leaf spring rear suspension, and hydraulic drum brakes. The 225S is regarded as an interim link between the “early years” of Ferrari and the introduction of the legendary 250 series.

The most advanced iterations of the 225S were constructed on the innovative tuboscocca frame, a special chassis with double outer-tubes joined together with a truss-like arrangement. This saved weight with no compromise to structural rigidity.

Virtually no two Vignale-bodied Ferraris are precisely alike, and the six 225S Berlinettas made were no exception. This example is from the superlative Elkhart collection.

Barn Find BWM M1

The “old” BMW a woman in London was looking to sell has turned out to be a legendary BMW that fell off the collector car world's radar 25 years ago.

The 1979 M1 was created to run on liquefied petroleum gas, or autogas. BMW produced 453 M1s from 1978 to 1981. By adding twin-turbos to the M1’s inline-6-cylinder engine, this example produced 410hp. On October 17, 1981 the car set an unsanctioned speed mark of 187.3 mph. A huge number for it's time. The car will be auctioned at Coys'Techno Classica event in Essen, Germany, on April 13. Despite needing extensive restoration, the car is guaranteed to attract attention.

1969 Boss 302 Mustang Concept Car barn find

Boss 302s were tamed versions of Ford's race cars that dominated the 1969 and 1970 SCCA Trans-Am Racing seasons.

In the 1960s, "Boss" was used, insinuating that it looks great, with a touch of menace. Less than 7000 Boss 302s were made in the two years they were built.

No one knew where the first Boss 302 Mustang had gone or what had become of it. The Cobra Jet fastback sat in a barn from 1978 through 2014.

Larry Shinoda was the man responsible for the Corvette Sting Ray Coupe, and the Ford Mustang Boss 302. The Mustang toured the country and after was sold off to a friend of Shinoda’s.

In 2015 a full restoration brought the car back to it's former glory. $180k

1969 Dodge Hemi Charger R/T

Matching numbers 426 CI Hemi engine. A833 4-speed transmission. Track Pack. Two owner barn find. Concours restoration. Believed to be 59,000 original miles. Less than 500 miles since restoration. The 1969 Charger R/T was a combination of muscle and luxury and top muscle was the hugely expensive 426 Hemi. Far better equipped than its cousin, the Plymouth Road Runner, the R/T was the apex.

This top tier example appears at Mecum's Houston.

1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 - $252k

In total there were 1358 original Boss 429s made, 859 in 1969 and 499 in 1970. This example is fully concours restored and finished in Calypso Coral over black.

Ford developed a new 429ci V-8 with free-flowing cylinder heads, an aluminum high-rise intake manifold, a 735 CFM Holley carburetor, 11.0:1 compression, header-style exhaust manifolds, and a four-bolt main block. It was laughably rated at 375 horsepower. Kar Kraft shoehorned the engine into the Mustang.The Boss 429 was the priciest non-Shelby Mustang at a ridiculous $4,087.

The car is an award winner and made $252k against an estimate of $250k to $300k.

1984 Ferrari 512 BBi - $252k

The Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer (BB) was produced by Ferrari between 1973 and 1984. Replacing the Daytona, it was the first in a series of Ferraris to use a mid-mounted flat-12 engine. 2,323 were produced.

This 512 BBi is believed to be the fifth-to-last example built and was finished in Rosso Corsa over beige leather. Completely restored, the car shows 18,850 km from new. The car made $252k against an estimate of $275k to $325k. A very similar car made $329k in January.

Last year models boasted 335 hp at 6000 rpm.
