That Split Decides What Chassis 082 Is Actually Worth.

A 2025 Ford Mustang GT RTR Spec 3 Coupe is currently consigned to a reserve auction on Cars & Bids, and on paper it is about as close to flawless as a modified car gets. One owner since new in May 2025. A clean Utah title. No accidents, no mileage discrepancies, and a listing with… Read more: Why This Flawless 810-HP RTR Mustang Won’t Bring What It Cost to Build

A first-year 1959 Chevrolet El Camino — the body style that introduced Chevrolet’s car-based pickup to America — is drawing serious bidder attention on Bring a Trailer. Bidding has already passed $35,000 with hours remaining, and nearly 900 people are watching the auction unfold. What’s notable isn’t the number. It’s the reason people are paying… Read more: This LS2-Swapped 1959 El Camino Shows Where the Middle of the Collector Market Is Really Heading

Saturday’s lineup on Modern Car Collector was short but pointed. A scale-model Ferrari the factory itself blessed, a low-mile Buick GNX whose paperwork outweighs its rarity, a modified Skyline sedan testing the edge of the JDM market, and a $15 million NART Spider that earns its estimate through what its owner changed rather than who… Read more: Today on MCC: Everything You Missed Yesterday

Gooding Christie’s has named a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S NART Spider as the headlining lot of Rétromobile New York’s inaugural auction this November, and the number attached to chassis 10453 — a presale estimate of $15 million to $20 million — will dominate most of the coverage.

It wears 18-inch RAYS Nismo LMGT4 wheels, a Seibon carbon fiber hood, Sparco seats, and a five-speed manual transmission that Nissan never bolted to this car on the assembly line.

Right now on Bring a Trailer, a black-on-black 1987 Buick GNX with 5,068 miles is sitting at a $165,000 bid, with bidding scheduled to close September 15.

At Gooding & Christie’s Pebble Beach sale, a “Ferrari” sold for $75,000 against a $140,000-$180,000 estimate, without reserve. By any conventional measure, it is not actually a Ferrari. It is a three-quarter-scale, electric-powered tribute car with a top speed of 50 mph, hand-built by a specialist studio and cataloged as chassis “Serial No. 181.” And… Read more: The Ferrari Testa Rossa J ‘Lucybelle II’ Isn’t a Real Race Car.
