Emory 1959 Porsche 356A Coupe

Emory Motorsports specializes in creating Porsche 356's with performance that could only be dreamed of by the car's original engineers. This 1959 356A sunroof coupe is a bespoke build commissioned by the seller in 2013, and has had continual upgrades by Emory since. The biggest is a conversion from the original 185 horsepower pushrod flat-four to a 205 horsepower overhead cam four-cylinder 911 engine — no small bump in a flyweight like the 356. The suspension is Emory's custom 911-based design and a dry-sump oil system with remote cooler. The interior is pure vintage Porsche, with saddle leather and Spinneybeck inserts on the seats. Roadster-style door panels, square weave carpet, and four-point harnesses complete the vintage racer look. Possibly the best part about this Emory 356 is getting to skip the years-long waiting list for one, and getting to enjoy one of the best 356's immediately.

Lunaz Electrified Classic Cars

If the future is electric, then the effort to save our internal-combustion classics needs to start now. Crate that chunk of cast iron or aluminum and shops like Lunaz will replace it with a zero-emissions drivetrain that outperforms the original equipment while keeping those beautiful lines perfectly intact. While companies like Jaguar and Aston Martin offer a similar service, Lunaz is the brainchild of David Lorenz, whose experience with his own classic car lead to the founding of Lunaz. The first two projects from the shop are a 1953 Jaguar XK120 and 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V — the epitome of British motoring. Each car has a battery pack under the hood and one under the truck floor, with the Jaguar getting an 80 kWh unit and the Rolls a 120 kWh one. In the Jaguar, Lunaz's in-house design powers two electric motors that make 375 horsepower and a stump-pulling 516 lb-ft of torque. Specs for the Phantom haven't been released. If you're ready for the past to meet the future, Lunaz will start reserving build slots starting in November of this year.

1961 Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 Coupe

In 1960, a very special Ferrari took to the field at the 24 Hours of Le Mans — not as a race car, but as the marshall's car. It was the 250 GTE 2+2, the first production four-seat Ferrari. The 250 GTE marked a watershed moment for the Italian icon, as their road cars began to take a bigger emphasis, helping both the bottom line and public recognition. A stretched and widened version of the 250 frame wore elegant coachwork by Pininfarina, and the legendary Colombo V12 was under the hood. This made a car that could comfortably fit four people capable of 150 MPH — an outrageous number for the day. The 1961 250 GTE here has gone from its native Italy to the US, and finally to the UK where it resides today. A bare metal restoration was performed along with a two-year rebuild of the V12. The paint and eyecatching red leather interior are exactly how the car left Maranello and make this a beautiful example of an important Ferrari milestone.

1963 Apollo 3500 GT Spider

When Britain met America with the Shelby Cobra, it was an instant success. Another cross-Atlantic pairing that isn't as well-known is the Apollo 3500 GT, and American-Italian hybrid powered by an all-aluminum Buick V8. The brainchild of engineer Milt Brown, the Apollo used a Brown-designed chassis, the aforementioned V8, and handmade bodywork by Carrozzeria Intermeccanica of Torino, Italy. The Apollo used a ladder chassis with a multi-link rear suspension and upper and lower A-arms at the front — one-upping Ferrari, who were still using rear live axles and leaf springs. Despite the solid performance, company was plagued by strong demand and poor finances, and only 86 were made. Only five Spiders still exist, and the 3500 GT Spider pictured here is the first one built and has been owned by George Finley, head of sales for Apollo, since new. The car is absolutely mint and is one of the most unique cars to come from America, when a dream and some know-how went a long way.

1974 Maserati Bora 4.7 Coupe

Performance with a touch of civility — that was the Maserati Bora, the company's first mid-engine supercar. The Bora began when French manufacturer Citroën took a controlling interest in Maserati in 1968. With Lamborghini and DeTomaso having mid-engine cars and Ferrari developing one, Maserati followed suit. The result was the Bora which went into production in 1971 and continued until 1978, with 564 produced. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign, the Bora had features like an adjustable pedal box, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and a front-mounted trunk that made the car practical to drive. This Bora received a two-year restoration that was finished in 2011, and still presents beautifully eight years later. Fully documented and ready to drive, it's perfect for any Maserati fan or someone who wants a head-turning driver.

1988 Porsche Rothmans 944 Turbo Cup Race Car

The 924 was originally designed by Porsche as a sports car for fellow German maker Volkswagen, and when the deal fell through, Porsche introduced it as its entry-level car. The 944 debuted in 1983 and the 924/944 line became a major profit source for the company — and possibly saved the 911. With its balanced chassis thanks to the combination of front engine and transaxle, the 944 has seen its reputation rebound in recent years thanks to cheap prices and Porsche nameplate. Every Porsche is expected to perform on the track and this 1988 944 Turbo Cup race car is no exception. Starting with a raw sunroof-delete coupe, Porsche strengthened the chassis and removing all unnecessary parts, removing over 400 pounds. A larger turbocharger and stronger transmission made the car capable of 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 170 MPH. This Rothmans 944 Cup wasn't registered until 1990, never raced, and shows only 14,000 km on the odometer. Rare and in mint condition with its famous sponsor, this is a great piece of Porsche racing history.

Black 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 Coupe

The DeLorean is famous for its bare stainless steel exterior. Only three DeLoeans were ever painted from the factory, and this isn't one — although the ultra-low 5,800 miles on the odometer and meticulous maintenance definitely help the sale price. The owner had the car painted to cover up an unfortunate choice by the original owner — a bright pink shade that was a far worse choice than black. The engine has had a complete overhaul along with the cooling and fuel systems, and many nearly-forty-year-old critical components have been upgraded to modern equivalents. While it isn't totally original, this DMC-12 is an excellent example for any fan of the marque.

1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C by Scaglietti

The 275 GTB/C is the car Ferrari built to replace the legendary 250 series, including the official work of art 250 GTO. With the 250's enormous success on the track, Ferrari engineers had big shoes to fill — and to say they exceeded their mark is an understatement. Despite looking similar to the road-going version, the 275 GTB/C — "C" for "Competizione" — had a completely new body and chassis built of lightweight steel and aluminum. Only 12 were made, and each one is incredibly sought-after, second only to the aforementioned 250 GTO. This 275 GTB/C was sold to a private company instead of a racing team and did not enter its first race until 1969. Just over 80,000 kilometers later, this is one of the best examples of Ferrari at the height of its sportscar powers.

1972 Detomaso Pantera Coupe

Despite its wedge shape and great performance, the Detomaso Pantera didn't have quite the cachet of fellow Italian supercars from Ferrari and Lamborghini. But the times have changed, and the once under-appreciated car now has plenty of admirers who see it for what it is — and what it's capable of. Powered by a mid-mounted 330-horsepower Ford V8 mated to a five-speed transmission, the Pantera didn't lack for performance or looks, and the 1972 model here is one of the best-kept examples you'll find. Showing only 70k miles on the odometer, this Pantera has a few tasteful modifications. Larger aftermarket wheels with staggered front and rear sizes with a period look set off the exterior, while the interior has custom bucket seats and Alcantara trim in a black-and-blue theme. Beautiful, fast and unmistakably Italian, this Pantera is the perfect way to step into vintage supercars.

Bentley 1929 Team Blower Continuation

Bentley is not quite done with its 100th-anniversary celebration — they've just announced a continuation of the 1929 Bentley Blower, an iconic car that helped lay the groundwork for their wins in 1929 and 1930 at Le Mans with the Speed Six. Bentley's own Blower, chassis number HB 3403, will be taken completely apart and every piece 3D-scanned. From those 3D models, the technicians at Mulliner will then recreate 12 Blowers, each identical to the original, using modern manufacturing and traditional handwork. Bentley expects the process to take two years — with an application process to qualify to buy one.

Coyote Johnson Muscle Car Collection

It started with a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. 40 years later, Bill "Coyote" Johnson has amassed a collection of 113 cars, 93 of which will be hitting the auction block Sept. 14 in Red Oak, Iowa. Included in the auction are some of the most recognizable models ever to come out of Detroit, including Challengers, Chargers, Camaros, Corvettes, Firebirds, GTOs, Mustangs, and, of course, Road Runners. They're being sold on an as-is basis, as many will need some work done by their new owner, but careful eyes will notice one missing: Coyote is keeping that original '69 Road Runner for himself.

Dalai Lama's 1966 Land Rover Series IIA SUV

Delivered to Nepal in 1966, this Land Rover Series IIA served as the Dalai Lama's official vehicle for years. It was primarily driven by His Holiness' brother Tenzin Cheogyal along the rough roads of the Dharamsala region of India. Cheogyal continued to maintain the vehicle until 2005 when it was donated to the Dalai Lama Foundation in Palo Alto, California to raise funds for Tibetan refugees. It's since seen a complete restoration but arrives with the original seats, interior parts, and tires, as well as extensive documentation proving its provenance. Historically significant and in outstanding condition, it would make for a unique addition to any collection.

Rtech Fabrications Ponderosa Truck

Over the last decade, crew cabs have become as common as the traditional two-door pickup truck. When it comes to vintage trucks, finding a crew cab is much more difficult — if one was even made. Rtech Fabrications' Ponderosa is a 1964-1966 Chevrolet K30 four-door that was actually never made by the company. The completely custom-built body rides on a 1972 C30 dually chassis, stands eight feet tall, and is 20 feet long with an ash-lined bed — so be sure and check your garage dimensions before you make that down payment. Powered by a 550-horsepower Cummins diesel, the Ponderosa has a 12,000-pound Warn winch tucked under the front bumper, with Nitto tires bolted to Dana axles and supported by Bilstein suspension. Inside, the truck is pure vintage GM, with period-correct vinyl seating surfaces and as much sheet metal and chrome as the exterior. Finding a restomod truck isn't hard, but you'd be hard-pressed to find one this unique.

Elton John's 1972 Ferrari Daytona Coupe

One of only 158 right-hand drive Daytonas to hit UK shores, this 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 might be the best. It was delivered to Ferrari agent Maranello Concessionaires Ltd in 1972 and subsequently bought by Sir Elton John, presumably using proceeds from his landmark album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. In the years since it has been well looked after, with an interior re-trimming and wheel restoration in 2017. It's otherwise highly original and comes with MOT Certificates and other papers documenting all of its 82,000 miles, making it ideal for the avid collector.

CFB Seminole Club 1970 Ford Bronco SUV

Named for the famed private golf club in southern Florida, this 1970 Ford Bronco from OH-based Classic Ford Broncos is a perfect seaside ride. It's powered by an all-aluminum, 5.0 Ford Racing Coyote engine, mated to a four-speed automatic with Hydroboost brakes and Borgeson power steering. The exterior is painted a sea foam-like Jupiter Blue, which complements the sand-colored leather interior perfectly. Already sold, it might even be seen at its namesake club since it now belongs to Brooks Koepka's significant other, Jena Sims.

1975 Ferrari 308 GT4 Safari

The Ferrari 308 GT4 occupies a bit of a strange place in the company's history. Originally badged under the Dino marque, named after Enzo's son for cars with less than twelve cylinders and mid-engine layouts. The 308 didn't become a Ferrari model until 1976 when the Dino name was phased out. It was also the first official mid-engined Ferrari road car and had 2+2 seating — definitely not Ferrari's standard fair at the time. This 1975 308 GT4 is anything but stock. Repainted in a matte black and red "boxer" scheme, the owner has $26,000 worth of receipts for turning this Ferrari into a lifted, off-road capable machine. The car came from the factory with a parcel shelf in place of the rear seat, and the 3-liter V8 and five-speed transmission look to be in good condition, along with the underbody and interior. A very unusual Ferrari even without the mods, this is sure to catch a lot of attention.

1962 Aston Martin DB4 Coupe

Despite Aston Martin's history of producing some of the best grand touring cars ever made, Sir David Brown and company built their name on the race track. Beginning in 1959, Aston Marting offered the DB4 with a GT-spec version of their inline-six making 302 horsepower. With a larger fuel tank, smaller trunk, and a shortened wheelbase for better handling, the DB4GT was intended for customers with competition in mind. For those that preferred a more stable, plush ride and 2+2 seating with the increased power, a very small number of standard DB4s were fitted with the GT engine. The 1962 DB4 here is one of only seven left-hand-drive models fitted with the higher-performance six and has a Gold Certification by Aston Martin Works, fully certifying its history. Painted black over a stunning red Connolly Vaumol leather, the car is one of the best DB4s on you can find on the market.

1959 Porsche 718 RSK Center-Seat Spyder

The Porsche 718 went through several different models in its competition history from 1957 to 1962. A further development of the legendary 550A, the 718 would go on to cement Porsche's early racing history, besting cars with larger, more powerful engines from the likes of Ferrari and Aston Martin in some of the world's top races. The 718 RSK would be the ultimate evolution of the model, with a centrally-located seat and controls, and powered by the signature rear-mounted 1.6-liter flat-four. The 1959 718 RSK Spyder pictured here raced in what was then known as the Belgian Congo, Argentina, and across Europe. The car eventually ended up in a garage in Dayton, Ohio, where it was discovered by the current owner in remarkably original condition, with its factory motor, transaxle, and bodywork. Ready for vintage racing events, this Porsche's career is far from over.

1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe

The Ferrari 400 Superamerica debuted in 1960 as the best road-going car the company had to offer. Powered by a Type 163 V-12, the Superamerica made 320 horsepower and was capable of 160 MPH — numbers that were impressive even for full-blooded race cars of the era. 46 were made between 1959 and 1964, with each one costing as much as a Rolls-Royce, with all but two wearing Pininfarina coachwork as seen on the example here. This 400 Superamerica is one of 14 made with a short-wheelbase chassis, making it even rarer, but the most astounding detail about this car is its fully-documented history and nearly unrestored condition. It received its Ferrari Classiche certification in 2004, and was thoroughly serviced with an eye towards preservation by Al Roberts of Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale, Florida at a cost of over $70,000. For all that, the car isn't a trailer queen — the car is driven regularly by its current owner and the same will be expected of its next when it comes to auction.

Icon 1949 Hudson Derelict Coupe

When a repeat client wanted something that reflected the culture of Nashville, Icon came up with a barn-found Hudson and added some classic rock 'n roll style. The 1949 Hudson rides on a custom-built adjustable independent suspension that integrates into the car's semi-unibody structure with Brembo disc brakes at all four corners. And the new owner is going to need that stopping power — a supercharged LS9 is under the hood, making 630 horsepower. Every Icon is unique, and the interior is truly one-of-a-kind — Icon founder Jonathan Ward personally spent 400 hours creating the wild-caught alligator and Moores & Giles leather seating and trim. Touches like a translucent blue steering wheel with the original Hudson center cap and a CNC'd aluminum dash and HVAC controls make this creation unlike anything else you'll find on the road.

1953 Aston Martin DB3S Works Race Car

The mid-'50s were the Golden Age of sports car racing. Hand-built cars designed on pen and paper by some of the most innovative engineers in automotive history required every ounce of skill and nerve a driver possessed. Tracks like Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, and the Green Hell of the Nurburgring were little more than public roadways closed off — and sometimes not even that — for racing, and technology often pushed the human pilots over the edge of disaster. This was the stage that the Aston Martin DB3S entered into in 1953, as a radical development of the then-aging DB3. W.O. Bentley and Professor Robert Eberan von Eberhorst of Auto Union substantially lightened the car to make the most of its 3.0-liter inline-six. The works DB3S/2 pictured here competed at Le Mans, Silverstone, and the Millie Miglia, driven by legends like Peter Collins and Eric Thompson. One of the most historically significant Aston Martins, it will bring a price to match its racing pedigree.

The Thomas Crown Affair Dune Buggy

The Thomas Crown Affair helped launch the dune buggy into the popular consciousness and made Faye Dunaway into an A-list movie star — not bad for one movie. The beach drive with McQueen and Dunaway in the Meyers Manx became a classic scene, with McQueen doing the driving himself and even helping to design the Meyers dune buggy. Built on a Volkswagen chassis, McQueen specified a Chevrolet Corvair engine, giving the car around 230 horsepower while weighing just over a thousand pounds. This iconic dune buggy will be up for sale on March 2020 at Bonham's Amelia Island, Flordia auction.

Ateliers Diva Carbon Fiber Porsche 964

Finding a well-restored Porsche 964 isn't difficult — but finding one with the attention to detail and exclusive components used by Ateliers Diva is only possible by going straight to the source. Ateliers Diva is building 25 each of Porsche's 964 — coupe, Targa, and Safari — with a 4.2-liter race-prepped flat-six, bespoke interiors, and carbon fiber bodywork. The only limitation is the imagination of the client, with things like colors, suspension enhancements, and exhaust options available. The first car will be presented at Salon Privé this September in the UK.

1985 Lancia Delta S4 Rally Car

Lancia dominated rallying in the 1970s with the legendary mid-engined Stratos. As the '80s moved along, Audi's all-wheel-drive cars became the ones to beat in the WRC, and Lancia answered with the all-wheel-drive Delta. The Group B Delta S4 rally cars shared nothing with their road-going versions outside of the bodywork, and even that was made of a carbon fiber composite with front and rear clips with a quick-change system for easy repair and replacement between stages. A 1.8-liter four used supercharging and turbocharging to compensate for lag at low RPMs, and all four wheels were driven through a system that allowed up to 70% of the power to go to the rear wheels. The Delta S4 only competed for two years before Group B was disbanded, but made its mark and influenced Lancia's rally efforts to come. The Delta S4 was one of the first to compete in the WRC, and won the 1985 RAC rally outright, making it a historical piece of Lancia's rallying history.

ECD Land Rover Series 2A SUV

Classic Land Rover on the outside; classic American V8 power and modern components on the inside — this is ECD Automotive Design's take on the Land Rover Series 2A station wagon. ECD was founded in the USA by three Britishers and have grown to become one of the top Land Rover restoration experts in the world. This Series 2A is the culmination of the know-how they've gained over the last six years and their commitment to quality. Starting with motor, the stock 70-horsepower engine was swapped for something a bit more powerful — a Corvette LS3 making 430 horsepower. Not wanting to take away from Land Rover's offroad capability, Zeus disc brakes were fitted at all four corners and modern composite leaf springs were installed on new Puma axles. The original chassis has been strengthened, and the interior gets new seats and seating surfaces while retaining the classic Land Rover utilitarianism. Altogether, this is one of the best blends of classic and modern we've seen and stands out in a crowded marketplace.

1998 RUF CTR2 Sport Coupe

We know RUF as a certified German automaker taking Porsche 911 bodies-in-white and turning them into some of the most high-performance sports cars you can buy. RUF gained international fame when the CTR "Yellowbird" stormed to 213 MPH in a Road & Track test, beating out the best the world had to offer. This 1998 RUF CTR2 Sport is the ultimate evolution of the air-cooled Porsche 911. Commissioned by Frank Beddor, Beddor's sons helped RUF prepare for running a CTR2 at the Pikes Peak hill climb. The twin-turbo flat-six makes 580 horsepower and drives all four wheels. A knob on the center console allows the driver to change power and torque bias between the front and rear axles, one of only four CTRs equipped with the system. Presented in black over RUF's signature green interior, this might be the best example of what the last air-cooled 911 was capable of.

1939 Bentley Corniche

In 1939, Bentley was planning on a radical departure from its current lineup with the Corniche. Only one was built with coachwork influenced by the aeronautical streamlining that had been gaining popularity in the last decade. But the car was damaged in France at the outbreak of WWII, shipped back to London, and then destroyed in a bombing raid on Dieppe later in '39 and never seen again — until now. Mulliner, Bentley's in-house customization company, has recreated the Corniche using the original technical drawings and traditional fabrication methods of its team of craftsmen. The project originally started in 2001 with a collection of original parts intended to be used for more Corniche models. Bentley itself became involved in 2008, and 11 years later, this is the beautiful fruit of their labor.

1969 Toyota 2000GT MF12L Coupe

Toyota dropped the 2000GT at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1965 and changed the way the world looked at Japanese car manufacturers. Known for small, fuel-efficient cars with great engineering but little performance, the 2000GT was an instant classic and considered to be the first supercar from the Land of the Rising Sun. The car was jointly developed and manufactured by Yamaha and inspired by the Jaguar E-Type, with flowing aluminum bodywork, concealed headlights, and a straight-six. Only 351 were made from 1967 to 1970, and the 2000GT "MF12L" is even more rare — it's one of nine with the MF12L trim package, and one of three made with an automatic transmission. Although no estimate is given, 2000GTs have sold for over seven figures, so expect a similar price for this example.
