1968 Shelby GT500KR Fastback

Shelby no. 03033. One of 1,053 GT500KR fastbacks produced for 1968. 428 Cobra Jet V-8 engine. 4174 Holley carburetor. Toploader 4-speed transmission. 3.00 Traction-Lok differential. Rebuilt double A-arm suspension. Power steering. Power brakes. Wimbledon White with Blue rocker striping. Tinted glass. Tilt steering column. Shelby 10-spoke wheels. The KR stands for “King of the Road,” a name that Carroll Shelby famously stole from General Motors. The Shelby GT500’s midyear 1968 engine update to Ford’s new 428 Cobra Jet big-block was laughably rated at 335 HP, 25 less than the previous 428 Police Interceptor.

With 427 medium-riser cylinder heads, 390GT cam, Holley 4-barrel carb and high-flow exhaust manifold, it was a performance engine. This Wimbledon White GT500KR underwent a concours restoration retaining the original sheet metal and fiberglass. One of 450 produced with factory air, the KR was delivered new to Kenray Ford in Dallas.

1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Alloy by Scaglietti - $3.3m

The mid-1960s were a good time for Ferrari race cars. Those cars wearing the Cavallino Rampante were sitting atop the podium at nearly every major race and were annihilating any competition that stood in the way. With the 250 series nearing the end of production in 1964, Ferrari unveiled their replacement for their most successful platform. The 275 GTB would prove to be the beginning of another legendary series of sports cars.

A gem 3.3-liter V-12 producing 280 hp in standard triple Weber configuration led to a 0–60 mph time of just over six seconds and a top speed of 160 mph. In order to improve handling, engineers reduced the overall height of the engine, which lowered its center of gravity. The 275 GTB would be the first road-going Ferrari to feature a four-wheel independent suspension and a rear-mounted five-speed transaxle gearbox.

A blue-chip collectible, the Ferrari 275 GTB is arguably one of the most significant front-engine V-12 Ferraris ever built.

The most desirable option available from the factory was alloy bodywork. As production of the 275 GTB phased out in favor of the 275 GTB/4, only a handful of aluminum-bodied examples left the factory, of which this example is one. Fewer than 60 are thought to exist. An alloy-bodied 275 GTB in top condition is a desirable thing. Scaglietti’s own description of the 275 GTB was as “the ultimate creation” of Ferrari’s Gran Turismo. Few disagree.

This example made $ 3.3m in the fall of 2019.

Big 3 Ferrari at RM Sotheby's

RM Sotheby’s hosted its online only 'Driving Into Summer' auction this month. Crossing the block were a trifecta of hugely collectible Ferrari. A 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO (1 of 272 built) with optional air conditioning and power widows. It made $2.3m against an estimate of $2.2m to $2.4m

1995 F50. The second F50 built of 349 is offered at $ 2.5m. It was estimated between $2.5m to $2.7m.

2003 Ferrari Enzo. One of 400 built. 1,250 miles from new. The icon made $2.6m, against an estimate of $2.6m to $2.9m.

Ferrari 288 GTO - $3.3m

The Ferrari GTO (Ferrari 288 GTO) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987. The GTO never raced and all 272 cars built remained purely road cars. The GTO's 2,855 cc (2.9 L; 174.2 cu in) V8 was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear trunk space. This was necessary to make room for the twin turbochargers and intercoolers.

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. Hagerty suggests a concours example trends around $3.4m. This 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO with 2,900 miles from new hammered for $3.3m in January.

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.

Transformers 'Barricade' Police Press Car. 4,693 miles. Saleen 1865 Police livery. To punish and enslave script. Emergency lightbar. 4.6L V-8 engine. 6-speed manual transmission. Air conditioning. AM/FM stereo. Power driver's seat. Power windows and locks. Keyless entry. Fog lamps. Coilover suspension. Ventilated disc brakes. 7-spoke wheels. Pirelli PZero tires

Saleen designed two press vehicles to help promote the movie, and this example was campaigned on the east coast. Painted in the traditional black and white police car motif, the S281 Extreme is fitted with an emergency lightbar on the roof and push guard bumper on the front end.

The Extreme's 0-60 MPH is under 5 seconds, a 12-second quarter-mile time and a top speed somewhere between 150 and 160 MPH.

First Shelby Cobra: $ 13.75m

The first-ever Shelby Cobra was expected to break multiple auction records when it went under the hammer in 2018 at an RM Sotheby’s event held in Monterey and it didn't disappoint. Serial number CSX 2000, formerly the late Carroll Shelby’s personal Cobra, was offered at auction. The car, vintage 1962, is the first Shelby Cobra ever built and has been kept completely original.

It has never before come up for sale. Original Shelby Cobras have tended to easily clear seven-figures.

Carroll Shelby’s original recipe for making Cobras was fairly simple, yet they included the addition of many advanced technologies that let his creation take multiple race wins. Starting with a lightweight, British-built AC Ace two-seat sports car, Shelby performed a ‘heart transplant,’ shoehorning a 4.2-litre Ford V8 into the diminutive roadster.

In the words of Carroll Shelby, the Cobra was designed to “put the Corvettes in the weeds” – and that's what it did regularly. A 1962 road test by Road & Track revealed that Shelby’s original Cobra did zero-to–100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, complete a standing quarter-mile run in 13.8 seconds on to a top speed of 246 km/h (153 mph).

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO - 3387GT

Gregor Fisken has been victorious in a legal battle with lawyer Bernard Carl over the £37 million sale of a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO in October 2017. When chassis number 3387GT was bought from Mr Carl by Mr Fisken it was known to not contain the original gearbox. The 'unique and special' original gearbox from the car - worth between $500k and $1m - was then found at a workshop in California.

39 of the cars were built between 1962 and 1964. 3387GT was the second GTO built and had an illustrious racing history. It was first in class and second overall at the 1962 '12 Hours of Sebring'.

Unless the matter is appealed, Carl must deliver the GTO gearbox to Fisk.
