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.

1965 Aston Martin DB5 Shooting Brake

David Brown — the former owner and man who's initials make the "DB" in Aston Martin's lineup — had a problem with the iconic DB5. The car lacked enough room for his polo gear and his dog was chewing up the leather on the seats. Brown brought his dog to a board meeting and tasked the engineers with creating something that would fit his gear, and the result was the DB5 shooting brake. The car proved so popular that customers requested one for themselves, with the conversion being outsourced to Radford coachbuilders. Only 12 were built and four of those were left-hand-drive. This DB5 was ordered new as a shooting brake, which bumped price up to more than twice that of your average English house at the time, making it an extremely expensive car. Sold new in Switzerland, the car has had only three owners and a restoration by the factory. Rare and with some of the best lines in automotive history, this DB5 will be auctioned during the 2019 Monterey Car Week.

Vanilla Sky Alpha One GTO Coupe

Ferrari hates third-party replicas of its cars, so much so that they convinced an Italian court to designate the 250 GTO as a work of art in response to a fellow Italian firm planning to build them. With only 36 250 GTOs made and price tags of over $50 million, there's probably a market for 250 GTO replicas — and this is of the few ways to get your hands on one. Built by Joe Alphabet with tooling that changed hands due to legal pressures over the years, the Alpha One 250 GTO is powered by a small-block Chevy V8 mated to an automatic transmission. The car's biggest claim to fame is being driven in the dream sequence of the 2001 film Vanilla Sky by Tom Cruise. The car was restored in 2007 and even includes documentation like the title in Paramount Pictures' name.

1975 Lamborghini Urraco P250

The Lamborghini Urraco isn't one of the marque's most well-known models. The Urraco was designed as a more affordable 2+2 to complete with fellow Italian sports cars like the Ferrari Dino and Maserati Merak. This 1975 Urraco is just one of 21 P250 models made for the US with a 217 horsepower V8 and a fresh restoration at a cost of over $15,000. One of Lamborghini's more unusual offerings, this Urraco is a great way to get into the Italian maker at a steep discount.

1987 Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake

Aston Martin has a long history of building one-off shooting brakes, with the DB5 and DB6 being early examples. The Lagonda wasn't a GT in the spirit of Aston Martin's other cars when it was introduced in the mid-'70s. The four-door saloon was a British luxury car all the way, with a host of futuristic features and wedge-shaped styling by William Towns. Each Lagonda was made to order, and this one was sold in Switzerland in 1987. The car's current owner was inspired to have his own Aston Martin shooting brake, using one of the most unique Astons ever to hit the pavement. The years-long project had the goal of incorporating the shooting brake into the existing lines while preserving them as much as possible — the result was a total success.

Andy Warhol's BMW M1 Art Car

In 1975, French racecar driver Herve Poulain asked American artist and personal friend to paint his BMW 3.0 CSL race car, which Poulain drove in that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. Other artists have gone on to use BMW's as canvases, turning the art of automobiles into literal works of art. Perhaps the most famous BMW Art Car is the BMW M1 painted by art revolutionary Andy Warhol. In typical Warhol style, it took the artist about 30 minutes to complete the project, using wide brush strokes combined with a loose, abstract style. When photographer Stephan Bauer won BMW's social media photography competition, he chose Warhol's Art Car as his subject for a photo shoot with spectacular results.

1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype

From 1966 to 1969, the Ford GT40 took all comers at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and came away with four straight wins, including a 1-2-3 finish in 1966. The GT40 is one of the most iconic racing cars ever, and an original is sure to generate some buzz when it changes hands. This Ford GT40 roadster is something completely different, however. The car never raced, but it's one of 12 GT40 prototypes, one of five roadsters, and the only roadster that's survived in its original form. Over its lifetime, this GT40 was driven by the likes of Carroll Shelby and F1 champion Jim Clark, and along with its duties testing for the eventual Le Mans winners, makes this an important piece of racing history.

1957 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk II Coupe

A large part of what makes a classic car valuable — or not — is the story behind it. Whether it's a racing car with an illustrious history of wins and famous drivers or a road car owned by celebrities, it's hard to underestimate the value of a good story. This 1957 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk II doesn't have a record of notable owners or race wins, but the record of its life is just as interesting as it's well-worn exterior. The car was found in the Californian desert, it's aluminum body stripped of paint during a stalled restoration. Don Bose purchased the car and had it mechanically restored — except for the body and interior. Don raced the car in numerous vintage races over the years, and the car proudly wears every dent and imperfection acquired over its long life with pride. Incredibly unique, this DB2/4 Mk II is an eye-catcher for all the right reasons.

Ecurie Ecosse LM69 Race Car

In 1956, a small racing team from Scotland won the 24 Hours of Le Mans driving customer Jaguar D-Types and would go on to do it again in 1957. This team was Ecurie Ecosse and would shut down in the early '70s before being reborn in the '80s and racing to the present day. In 1966, Jaguar shut down the XJ13 program that supposed to bring them back to Le Mans after they realized the car was already old tech before it had even hit the race track. With the LM69, Ecurie Ecosse is realizing what might have been if the XJ13 was updated to race at the 1969 Le Mans. Partnering with Design Q and XJ13 replica company Building the Legend, the LM69 is street-legal and built to the FIA's regulations in 1969, with an improved body design, suspension, and 5.0-liter V12 based on the XJ13's unit. Only 25 will be built, the amount required to homologate the car for competition under 1969 rules.

Mario Andretti's 1984 Lamborghini Countach Coupe

There's a good reason Mario Andretti was named the Associated Press' Driver of the Century — if it had wheels, he won in it. From dirt tracks to the Daytona 500, Indy 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the F1 World Championship, Mario has won nearly every race that counts in his incredible career. With his Italian ancestry, it's no surprise that Mario is a fan of Italian exotics, and was known to blast around his home in Pennsylvania in a style not unlike his driving on the track. One of his preferred rides was this 1984 Lamborghini Countach 5000S, the car that came to define the word "exotic" when applied to cars. This Countach packs a 371 horsepower, 5.0-liter carbureted V12 and has just had a complete refurbishment, meaning that it's in as good of shape as it was when Mario brought it home — although you'll never be able to put it through its paces like he could.

1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider

In the late '50s, Ferrari's business in the North American market was booming. Luigi Chinetti, the North American importer for Ferrari, saw an untapped market opportunity for the Prancing Horse — a high-performance convertible that could be driven to the track, raced, and driven home. This led to the 250 GT California Spider, a no-frills Ferrari with simple bucket seats, a lightweight folding top, and stunning coachwork by Carrozzeria Scaglietti. To say that it was a success was an understatement; with class wins at Le Mans, Sebring, and SCCA events, it fulfilled its mission with gusto. The excitement around the 250 GT California has hardly dulled, and this early production model has some of the most desirable features of the model's production run. Fully-documented and restored to a concours level, this California Spider is a must for the discerning collector.

1965 Shelby / De Tomaso P70 Race Car

In what should have been one of the best pairings in automotive history, Carroll Shelby and Alejandro de Tomaso collaborated on the P70, a car meant to race in the United States Road Racing Championship. Shelby and De Tomaso clashed almost from the beginning, and when Ford asked Shelby to oversee its GT40 Le Mans program, the P70 project was dead in the water. One prototype was created, and it was an absolute stunner, with a stressed-member Gurney-Weslake small-block V8, a chassis based on the De Tomaso Vallelunga, and bodywork by Peter Brock. De Tomaso would end up renaming the car the Ghia De Tomaso and debuting it at the 1965 Turin Auto Show. Being the only one made, it's beautiful lines, and the pedigree of Shelby and De Tomaso, the P70 will be getting a lot of attention when it goes up for auction.

1974 BMW 3.5 CSL IMSA Race Car

BMW's E9-based 3.0 CSL but the manufacturer back on the racing map in the '70s. The car dominant throughout the decade in the European Touring Car Championship, but one thing BMW lacked — and was trying to build — was a following in the North American market. Privateers were contracted to race in the NA market, and as BMW was organizing a factory network there, famous executive Bob Lutz thought it was an odd strategy. So BMW setup a factory team to race in the IMSA Camel GT Championship and endurance races. In 1975, the 3.5 CSL pictured here took home first overall in the 12 Hours of Sebring, along with five of 17 races in the '75 IMSA season. The car is fitted with a period-correct 3.5-liter inline-six and wears the livery it wore for its Sebring victory. One of BMW's most important competition cars, this 3.5 CSL is a must-have for any serious racing collector.

2019 Voitures Extravert Quintessenza SE Electric 911 Coupe

The Dutch firm Voitures Extravert is on a mission to make that the classic cars we love survive in a world where zero-emissions cars are rapidly becoming the norm. To that end, Voitures Extravert is offering two different styles of Porsche's 911 with fully-electric drivetrains — and it's far more than just a simple swap. The SE model is the original-style 911 of the '60s and '70s, and each build starts with an original shell. Each part is either replaced or restored, depending on function, before reassembly. A driver-adjustable suspension along with modern braking components are installed, and of course, there's the electric powerplant. A 58 kWh battery pack gives the Quintessenza SE 250 miles of range and can charge 62 miles in 15 minutes on an AC connection, with even faster DC charging available. Performance is also increased, with 0-60 in the five-second range. If EVs are the future, this is how our beloved cars of the past should be electrified.

1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster

The Jaguar XK120 is a classic whose lines and performance have stood the test of time — but that doesn't mean it can't be improved. This 1951 XK120 has had a suite of modifications to make it even better than the original while still retaining the gorgeous lines and soul of what made it one of the best sports cars of its day. The original steel body has been replaced with lighter alloy panels, and the 3.8 liter inline six has been modified to make 280 horsepower. The electronics have been updated to modern standards and disc brakes have been fitted at all four wheels. The matte gunmetal grey exterior contrasts beautifully with a fresh brown leather interior, and details like a leather bonnet strap and punched aluminum passenger footrest give it a decidedly racing vibe. This is a classic that can be driven without fear in modern traffic.

1958 Ferrari 250 GT Series I Cabriolet

Ferrari's 250 series of cars were made from 1953 to 1964 and were the models that put Ferrari on the map as a top-tier manufacturer and racing team. From the experimental 250 S to the 250 GTO now recognized by the Italian government as a work of art, the 250 is the pinnacle of classic Ferraris. Long before social media "influencers", Enzo Ferrari saw the value in having high-profile clients being seen in his cars. That's why Italian playboy Prince Alessandro Ruspoli was one of Enzo's VIP customers, with connections to everything from the world of fine art — he was friends with Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso — to film — legendary director Frederico Fellini featured him in his masterpiece La Dolce Vita. This 250 GT Series I was owned by Ruspoli and is one of 40 made with Pininfarina's beautiful coachwork and one of four with the desirable headlights, side vents, and bumpers. When it crosses the auction block in Monterey, it will easily fetch a price in the $7-8 million range with its combination of rarity and provenance.

1945 Typ 51 Volkswagen Beetle

Volkswagen made 21.5 million Beetles from 1938 to 2003, making it one of the best-selling cars of all time. Balking at a six-figure price for one is understandable until you know the history and then it makes a little more sense. This extremely rare Typ 51 Beetle was imported to Australia for evaluation by the Australian government in 1947 as part of Germany's reparations for WWII. It was built in 1945 while the VW factory was under control of the British, and is three inches higher and has an engine that was made in 1946. Completely restored using the original body panels, the car is painted the original flat black color and is in excellent running condition. Despite the massive production run, this early Beetle is a unique automotive icon.

Iveco Fit Cab Concept

Since their job requires sitting for long periods of time, it can be tough for drivers to stay in shape. Truck maker Iveco recognizes this problem and is offering a solution with its Fit Cab concept. On the exterior are dedicated hooks and anchor points for various equipment, while inside the cab there's a wall-integrated multi-directional pulley, a roof-integrated folded multi-grip solution, and a mix resistance bands, sliders, and weights, all meant to work together as a whole-body fitness solution.

1955 Ferrari 375 MM Coupe Speciale

The Ferrari 375 MM was made from 1953 to 1954 as a race car designed specifically for the famous Mille Miglia, from which the car got its name. The 4.5-liter V12 was derived from the Ferrari F1 car, but with a shorter stroke and larger bore, making an impressive 335 horsepower. Only 26 were made, along with four converted from the previous 340 MM model, and this 375 MM custom-bodied by Ghia is one-of-one. Finished in a salmon and gunmetal grey two-tone, the design eschews the traditional Ferrari style for a more square '50s aesthetic that's almost World of Tomorrow-esque. The interior features the original beautifully worn leather that matches the exterior, along with analog gauges and levers for the cabin climate controls. All the original chrome and badging is here, making this one of the most interesting classic Ferraris on the market.
