Car Collector News Round Up: Ferrari F50 Values, Gurney’s Eagle, Hemi ‘Cuda Paperwork and More

Friday, September 25, was a Ferrari-heavy day at Modern Car Collector. Two V12 Ferraris came up on Bring a Trailer, and we took a hard look at the F50’s record run. We also analyzed Dan Gurney’s Eagle chassis 103 ahead of RM Sotheby’s sealed-bid deadline, previewed a ’67 GTO headed across the block in Alabama, and added new installments to our spec sheet and originality series. Here’s everything we published yesterday.

Bring a Trailer Auction Offers a Stunning 21k-Mile 2000 Ferrari 456M GT Six-Speed

A Giallo Modena 2000 Ferrari 456M GT with the gated six-speed manual, 21,000 miles and no reserve is the kind of V12 grand tourer that rarely needs a sales pitch. The three-pedal 456 has become the enthusiast’s pick of the breed, and this one pairs the right gearbox with low miles and a bright yellow-over-Tradizione-hide spec. Read our look at the Bring a Trailer listing.

Tailor Made Masterpiece: 2026 Ferrari Purosangue ‘Shanghai’ for Sale on Bring a Trailer

At the other end of Maranello’s catalog, a Tailor Made 2026 Ferrari Purosangue “Shanghai” finished in Bronzo Masaru is offered at no reserve on Bring a Trailer with just 50 miles. Bidding had reached $535,000 when we reported, with the auction set to close Monday, September 28. For collectors, the question is how much a one-off factory personalization program adds to a modern V12. See the full story.

1967 Pontiac GTO for Sale from Henderson Auctions This Weekend at Barber Motorsports Park

Muscle-car buyers heading to Birmingham, Alabama, have a red-over-black 1967 Pontiac GTO hardtop to consider. It crosses the block as Lot #1025 in Henderson Auctions’ Collector Motor Series sale at Barber Motorsports Park this weekend. Get the lot details.

Dan Gurney’s Eagle Chassis 103 Didn’t Win at Spa. Its $7M–$9M Estimate Depends on Whether That Matters.

Chassis 103 is not the Eagle that won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix. That car has been in the Miles Collier collections since 1986. It is, however, one of only two Gurney-Weslake V-12 Eagles in private hands, and RM Sotheby’s has it in its Sealed September sale at $7 million to $9 million, with bids due September 30. Our analysis weighs its race record, provenance, condition and comps against that estimate. Read the lot analysis.

Ferrari F50 Value Nearly Tripled in Two Years. Here’s What Is Real and What Isn’t.

The public auction record for a Ferrari F50 went from $5.505 million at RM Sotheby’s Monterey in 2024 to $14.575 million at Mecum Monterey this August, a 165 percent climb in 24 months. We separate the evidence from the noise and ask what that record really says about the typical F50, and whether the move is likely to hold. Read the price-movement analysis.

1990–1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 (C4): Collector Spec Sheet

The 1990–1995 Corvette ZR-1 is a collector car you can largely read off a spec sheet: a 32-valve, four-cam LT5 V8 designed with Lotus and assembled by Mercury Marine, a body widened from the doors back, and 6,939 cars built over six model years. Our spec sheet covers production by year, identifying details, common weaknesses, current values and what separates a good example from an average one. Read the ZR-1 spec sheet.

On a Hemi ‘Cuda, the Broadcast Sheet Outranks the Fender Tag. Here’s What Buyers Must Verify

Fender tags can be remade, and Chrysler can’t vouch for most 1970–71 E-bodies. That leaves the humble broadcast sheet carrying the originality case for a real R-code Hemi ‘Cuda. The latest installment in our originality series explains why, and lists the eight checks buyers should make before they commit. Read what to verify.
