If you’re hoping to add a bright new statement piece to your garage, it doesn’t get any shinier than this: A Shelby Cobra CSX4000 Series Roadster with a hand-crafted aluminum body will be going up for auction next month.

The sporty two-seater is a 1965 model of sorts; it was actually built in the early 2000s to honor the 40th anniversary of the Shelby company. It’s No. 29 of 40 made, and only one of five with a hand-crafted, polished aluminum body. Under the hood, an all-aluminum Shelby 427 FE Stroker V-8 engine powers the Cobra with 535 horses and 545 ft lbs of torque. The car also features a Toploader four-speed manual transmission and two Holley four-barrel carburetors. Other standout features include rack and pinion steering, a four-wheel Baer disc brake system and a Shelby/Dana 44 rear differential.

Outside,  the Cobra is nothing if not striking. Its classic curvaceous body comes adorned with brushed aluminum stripes down the middle and a chrome roll hoop. The 15-inch Trigo knock-off wheels are accompanied by vintage Goodyear Eagle Billboard racing tires. And the clear wheel-well protection is contrasted with the soft black fender guards.
Almost as if to let the exterior shine even brighter, the interior is downright minimalist. There’s a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a Carroll Shelby–signed glovebox. The seat upholstery, meanwhile, is sleek black leather, and both the sun visors and wind wings are made of plexiglass. That’s about it—and that’s all you need.

Mecum Auctions is putting the rare car up for auction in Tulsa from June 9 to 11. No pricing estimates are listed, but a similar model hammered down for $205,000 in 2020, Designboom noted.
Collectors, get those bids ready.

One of the best aspects of the car auction scene is that it gives serious collectors another shot at their dream vehicles.

Take, for example, the ultra-rare 2020 McLaren Speedtail. The hybrid hypercar was next to impossible to snag after it was announced, but now, thanks to Mecum Auctions, you’ll get a chance to add to your garage an example that’s barely been driven.

Introduced in the fall of 2018, the Speedtail is just the fourth member of McLaren’s Ultimate Series, following in the footsteps of the now-legendary F1, P1 and Senna (and pre-dating the Elva). The brand’s first “hyper-GT” was designed to be “a pure fusion of science and art in automotive form,” something best seen in its signature elongated carbon-fiber body. The car’s futuristic look wasn’t just meant to turn heads—though it certainly does just that—but to help it cut through the air with as little resistance as possible. It was also exclusive, with just 106 produced at the marque’s factory in Woking, England.

2020 McLaren Speedtail 

Mecum Auctions

This particular example was the 87th to roll off the line back in 2020. The striking vehicle, which features a set of dihedral doors, is finished in a beautiful coat of Heritage Gloss Steel Blue and rides on a set of Gloss Silver wheels with front drag-reduction covers wrapped in Michelin P-Zero tires. Inside, the cabin and its three seats are done up in matching Semi-Aniline Metallic Blue Silver leather accented with subtle splashes of McLaren’s trademark orange. Up front you’ll find a suite of five displays that’ll make the driver feel like they’re in the cockpit of a fighter jet.
Just as noteworthy is the car’s hybrid powertrain. At its heart is a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 mated to a 7-speed Graziano dual-clutch transmission that can generate 746 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque. The brawny mill is aided by a parallel hybrid system eMotor that boosts overall production to an astonishing 1,055 horses and 848 ft lbs of twist. When pushed to its limits, the car can rocket from zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 250 mph, easily making it McLaren’s fastest production vehicle. This example has total just notched just 275 miles since it was delivered, so it should be able to perform like new.

This Speedtail is set to hit the block on Wednesday, May 17, as part of Mecum’s Indy 2022 sale. The auction house expects it to sell for between $2.8 million and $3 million. That’s more than its original $2.6 million sticker price, but considering how rare the vehicle is, that’s only to be expected.

These days, cars are starting to eclipse 300 mph, but at the dawn of the 1970s the number to beat was 200 mph. Now the first car to beat the mark could be yours.

Buddy Baker’s 1969 Dodge Hemi Charger Daytona was the first to accomplish this feat, and now the race car will hit the block at Mecum Auction’s Indy 2022 sale next month. The race car, which is currently owned by legendary NASCAR crew chief Ray Everham, played a vital role in motorsports history and is exactly the kind of vehicle serious collectors want in their garage.

This particular Charger Daytona, serial number DC93, started its life as a press vehicle before being converted into a race car so it could be entered in the 1969 Daytona 500. Following the race, it was converted again for use in aerodynamics testing, but was back racing by the time the inaugural Talladega 500 rolled around that September. It started on the poll at that race after Charlie Glotzbach broke the world speed record for closed course lap average at 199.446 mph in it during qualifying. That mark wouldn’t stand for long, though. On March 24, 1970, Baker was piloting the car when it set an official lap speed of 200.447 mph at the same race track. The car would race for a handful more years before being retired in the mid-‘70s.

The Charger Daytona’s Hemi V-8 

Mecum Auctions

It took some serious grunt to break the 200-mph barrier. In the case of the Charger Daytona, it came courtesy 426 cu in Hemi EX-144 V-8. Equipped with a Holley Dominator carburetor and mated to a four-speed transmission that sent power to the rear axle, the might mill was capable of generating a ferocious 575 horses. Needless to say, Baker and the other drivers who got behind the wheel had little trouble pushing it to the limit.
The car still wears the same blue and white racing livery—which earned it the nickname the “Blue Car”—and the no. 88 it donned when Baker broke 200 mph in March 1970. That’s because Everham has it fully restored to 1969 top speed spec after acquiring it from NASCAR historian Greg Kwiatkowski. It was also authenticated by George M. Wallace in 2001.

Baker’s Charger Daytona is set to cross the block on May 21. Mecum is selling the car without reserve, but we imagine It’ll hammer down for a hefty sum. As Jalponik points out, Charger Daytonas were selling for seven figures during their mid-aughts auction peak. Considering the historical importance of the speed machine, we wouldn’t be surprised if this one does, too.

After gracing the covers and pages of countless hot rod magazines over the decades, the Hirohata Merc could be destined for a permanent spot in your garage.

That’s because the pastel green coupé—which is easily one of the most famous custom cars of all time, if not the most—is one of the headline lots at Mecum’s Kissimmee 2022 auction this weekend. An opportunity like this is exceedingly rare, as this will mark the first time the car has been for sale in over 60 years.

The Hirohata Merc started out life as a standard 1951 Mercury Eight Club Coupe. It was a particularly car-obsessed time in Southern California, and its owner, Bob Hirohata, wanted a vehicle that would really turn heads, according to Road & Track. So, in 1953, he took his car to George Barris’s custom shop and asked him and his brother Sam to turn it into something special. The rest is hot rod history.

Mecum Auctions

The Barris team took an already sleek coupé and made it even smoother. First, they chopped and lowered the two-door, then they shaved off its emblems, door handles and other extraneous details. It features scoops, spotlights placed just ahead of the A-pillars and a unique grille made from the parts of three different Ford grilles. Its front wheels have also been outfitted in a set of sparkling Cadillac wheels. Why Cadillac rims, you ask? Just look under the hood, where you’ll find a Caddy V-8, making the car a Mercillac. Finally, it was finished in a stunning coat of sea foam green, which offsets its two-tone, cream and green leather interior and special Barris badging.
The Hirohata Merc was an immediate hit, making appearances at Motorama shows, the Indy 500, and in loads of magazines. It even made a cameo in the 1955 film noir Running Wild. Times change, though, and by the beginning of the decade it had fallen into disrepair and ended up on a used car lots. It’s because of this that late car collector Jim McNeil was able to buy the coupé for $500 when he was just 16. The car would sit untouched in his garage for decades, but in the ‘90s, he had it fully restored with the help of the members of the original Barris shop team. It wouldn’t be a quick process, though, and the fully restored vehicle didn’t make its public debut until 2015. That same year it won First in Class at the Pebble Beach Concours.

Mecum Auctions

The legendary custom car is schedule to go up for bid this Saturday. Mecum expects it to sell for somewhere between $1 million and $1.25 million, which is no surprise given its history. Regardless of the final bid, it’s sure to make McNeil’s teenage $500 purchase seem like the steal of the century.

The story of how Carroll Shelby was enlisted to turn Ford’s quotidian Mustang into a race car has been hashed and rehashed, embellished with sprigs of editorial parsley and, ultimately, served on a silver platter ever since the first Ford Shelby GT350 rolled out of Shelby’s shop in Venice, Calif, circa January of 1965. It’s generally agreed that only 562 examples of the 1965 model-year cars were made, making it the most desirable of all Shelby Mustangs and a top-tier collectible.

But as I’ve more than once alluded, apropos of the denizens in George Orwell’s book Animal Farm, some cars are more “equal” than others. Among Shelbys, those would be examples of the 1965 GT350R model, of which 34 production cars were built specifically for racing, as designated by the “R” in their VIN. The rest of the cars have an “S”—for street—stamped into the tiny aluminum plate riveted onto the top of the driver’s-side inner fender.

One of two 1965 Shelby GT350R prototypes, 5R002 will be offered through Mecum Auctions on January 15.

To understand how one littler letter can affect value by six-figures or more is to grasp the sheer lunacy of our hobby. (Ask anyone deep into baseball cards if you want a more in-depth insight into the psyche that drives collectors to the brink.)
The only thing more rare in the model line than the 34 examples of the R production variant would be two prototypes; 5R001 and 5R002. One of them, 5R002, took more than 10 first-place finishes at the SCCA’s championship series in 1965—including the first win by a Shelby Mustang—adding indisputable allure, especially now that it will be crossing the block at the Mecum Auctions event in Kissimmee, Fla., on January 15.
“As one of the most decorated Mustangs in automotive history, this Shelby Mustang GT350R prototype upholds an important reputation for carmakers, engineers and fans alike,” says Aaron Shelby, grandson of Carroll Shelby. “Its innovative design, timeless aesthetic and history of high performance make this vehicle a marvel, shaping the future of car making and racing.”

This vehicle took more than 10 first-place finishes at the SCCA’s championship series in 1965.

The provenance of this car is enhanced by the many racing legends who drove it, foremost of whom was Ken Miles, who handily won the B Production races at Green Valley Raceway. Miles’ persona and legacy were dutifully acknowledged (but embellished as only Hollywood can) in the 2019 film Ford v Ferrari. The history of 5R002 is well documented, as any reader of Car and Driver in 1966 would likely remember, which featured the Shelby Mustang airborne on its cover, after which it was called the “Flying Mustang.”

Old race cars rarely die, they only occasionally get lost in the interim between their glory days and the present. Since its retirement from motorsport, this prototype has had a number of notable owners, between which it was essentially lost and later rediscovered in Mexico in 1989.

Following the discovery, it was prominently displayed at the Shelby American Museum in Boulder, Colo., for 14 years. John Atzbach, a collector who acquired the vehicle in 2010, undertook a full restoration spanning four years, returning the car to its original specification from 1965. Subsequently, 5R002 has appeared at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it won Best in Class, and the 2016 North American International Auto Show.

They aren’t making them like Ol’ Shel’ anymore, and they certainly aren’t making cars like his 1965 GT350R. Shelby market watchers will recall that this car hammered at $3.5 million ($3.85 million including buyer’s commission) when it was auctioned by Mecum in July 2020, and remarkably, it’s on the ramp again looking for a new owner. Whether raising a paddle or looking through the window, collectors and enthusiasts alike will not want to miss this sale as new Shelby history continues to be made.

Ever since the movie Gone in 60 Seconds presented Eleanor as its star car, restomod Mustang fastbacks have dominated the imaginations of both custom builders and Mustang lovers who appreciate the combination of classic style and modern American muscle. And let’s face it, there are few cars more evocative of speed, swagger and sheer seductive appeal than a long, low fastback ‘Stang with a fire-breathing Ford crate engine and modern underpinnings.

Now, Kendall Motor Oil has written the check to build a one-of-a-kind Mustang restomod called, appropriately, The Kendall Custom, inspired by Carroll Shelby’s 1967 Shelby GT500 and featuring the components and handiwork of more than 20 standouts in the automotive industry. To be sold by Mecum Auctions on January 15 in Kissimmee, Fla., this one-off is special for more than just its unique build. All of the proceeds from the sale of the car will go to Curing Kids Cancer, a nonprofit organization founded by Grainne and Clay Owen in 2005, two years after their son Killian passed away from leukemia at the age of nine.

“It takes approximately $25,000 to help a child receive a lifesaving treatment that’s been developed for leukemia and other cancers,” says Grainne Owen, the organization’s co-founder and president. “We anticipate the proceeds from the car sale to potentially help save the lives of multiple children, and that’s truly amazing.”

A one-of-a-kind build, the 1,080 hp Kendall Custom will be offered through Mecum Auctions on January 15 to benefit Curing Kids Cancer, a nonprofit philanthropy.

While that’s reason enough to keep bidding on the boil, there’s also the 1,080 hp, 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged Ford “Coyote” V-8 engine by Garrett Advancing Motion. That monster mill, shifted by a Ford six-speed automatic transmission hooked up to a Strange Engineering 9-inch differential, is stuffed into Dynacorn Classic Bodies’ exact replica of a 1967 Mustang fastback shell. Dynacorn is a manufacturer familiar to anyone who has ever fantasized about a ground-up restomod build. In this case, the vehicle’s overall construction is the handiwork of Thompson Street Customs (TSC) in Denver, Colo., who masterminded the project. The Roadster Shop’s Fast Track chassis is a work of metallurgical art, while exterior and interior billet pieces accent the brilliant Kendall Red paintwork custom-mixed and painted by TSC. And Baer disc brakes hide behind Custom TSC-designed wheels, while Pirelli rubber fill out the corners.

Inside is where the action is, and it’s a whole lot more luxurious than any GT500 Ol’ Shel ever made. While the interior tips a hat to the styling cues of the original 1967 Mustang, it takes the concept to a new level of extreme. Created by Eddie’s Rods and Customs of Pueblo, Colo., the cabin is trimmed in black leather and suede, accented with red stitching and red Dakota Digital gauges, along with lots of machined and polished billet aluminum from Lokar Performance Products. Vintage Air keeps things ice cold, while a Kenwood custom sound system with JL Audio amps and speakers plays backup to the main act: twin Garrett turbos spooling up more than a thousand horses.

Interior embellishments include black leather and suede with red contrast stitching, red Dakota Digital gauges and lots of machined and polished billet aluminum.

Anyone who has built or commissioned a restomod of this caliber understands the commitment of time and resources (read that as dollars) required to achieve a concours-level result. This car has it, and knowing that the price paid by the top bidder goes to a higher purpose makes putting pedal (or paddle) to the metal seem all the more worthwhile.

If you’re a supercar obsessive who grew up in the 1980s or 1990s, there’s a good chance you had a poster of the Ferrari F40 on your wall at some point. Now, Mecum Auctions is offering the rare chance to add the iconic IRL Prancing Horse to your collection.

A near-pristine 1992 example of the legendary supercar will hit the block as part of Mecum’s Kissimmee 2022 sales event next month. The gorgeous speed machine is one of the final units to roll off the line at Maranello before production of the vehicle ceased later that year.

The F40 is the last supercar that the Prancing Horse’s founder Enzo Ferrari personally signed off on before his death in 1988. It was originally conceived two years prior as a way of celebrating the marque’s 40th anniversary—hence the name—with the goal of representing the best the brand had to offer. And thanks to its racing-inspired design, massive rear wing and brawny V-8, it did just that for a generation of car lovers who came of age during the era. Ferrari began building the supercar in 1987 and just 1,315 units would be made before production ended in 1992.

Mecum Auctions

This is the 19th of the 22 examples built during the F40’s final year of production, according to Mecum. Like all the best Ferraris, its Pininfarina-designed body is finished in in the marque’s trademark Rosso Cora. The interior, meanwhile, is done up in the same red and charcoal great. The cabin is devoid of most creature comforts and looks almost identical to that of a race car, only without a roll cage or fire extinguisher.
Underneath its glass engine lid, you’ll find a a twin-turbocharged, port-injected 3.0-liter V-8. The mill is mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear axle and can pump out 478 hp, 424 ft lbs of torque and has a redline of 7,000 rpm. It can rocket from zero to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 201 mph. All those benchmarks should still be attainable as the car remains in excellent, accident- and damage-free condition nearly three decades after it was built. It has only 14,053 kilometers (8,732 miles) on its metric odometer.

If you’d like to add this F40 to your garage, prepare to spend big when it goes up for auction in early January. Mecum doesn’t list an estimate for the vehicle, but two early ‘90s examples sold for more than $2 million each in recent months.

Two years ago, fabled Italian coachbuilder Zagato reignited the once-renowned Iso brand with the introduction of its Corvette Z06-powered, carbon-fiber-bodied Iso Rivolta GT Zagato. Just 19 examples were offered, and all were immediately snapped up by passionate collectors.

One of those buyers was Mike Odierna from Arizona. Already the owner of a super-rare 2013 Aston Martin V12 Zagato, Odierna signed the contract to get the first of Zagato’s latest model at the time. After a two-year wait, this oh-so-elegant two-door coupe, with its flowing lines inspired by the thundering Iso Grifo A3/C from the 1960s, was delivered just in time for Monterey Car Week. Displayed this year at the Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel Valley, Calif., it came away with a class win.

The first and only Iso Rivolta GT Zagato to be imported and registered in the US, the car has only 169 miles on the odometer and, surprisingly, is already set to cross the auction block at the annual Mecum collector-car sale in Kissimmee, Fla., on January 15.
“I always intended to keep it, and drive it, but as with so many things in life, situations change,” Odierna tells Robb Report. He explains that his Japanese wife has long yearned to return to her homeland, so they’ve decided to pick up and move east. “I thought about shipping it to Japan, but it just doesn’t make sense. I know I wouldn’t drive it there. So I felt it best to let it go,” he adds.

The example on offer took a class win at the Quail’s “Motorsports Gathering” this year.

Repeating the formula used with the original Sixties-era Grifo, where Italian style met American Chevy V-8 muscle, the Iso Rivolta GT Zagato uses the running gear of the last-generation Corvette Z06, a model also known as the C7. During the two years and more than 2,500 hours it took to build Odierna’s car at Zagato’s workshop in Milan, an all-new lightweight carbon-fiber body was mounted on the Z06 chassis. No body panels are carried over from the Corvette, and all the windows, lights, wheels and door handles are custom-made.
What carries over in all its glory, though, is the Z06’s 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V-8, a power plant that cranks out an impressive 660 hp. And with that engine propelling a car that tips the scales at just 2,645 pounds, the performance is truly impressive; Zagato claims zero-to-60 mph sprinting in under 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 195 mph.

Powering the car is the C7 Corvette’s 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V-8, making 660 hp.

Inside, the GT Zagato retains the Z06 seat frames and dashboard, but wraps everything in hand-stitched Italian leather—even the inside of the roof—and reminds owners of the Zagato heritage with a multitude of badges, logos and “Z” embroidery.
Odierna ordered his car in a stunning shade of metallic red that was inspired by the red racing Grifos that won their class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in both 1964 and ’65. For the interior, he chose charcoal leather with red contrast stitching.

The interior is wrapped in hand-stitched Italian leather and festooned with numerous badging and exclusive embroidery.

“The build quality of the car is just astonishing,” says Odierna. “The gaps between the carbon-fiber panels are wafer-thin, the fit and finish of the cabin is just the best. And with the main mechanical parts being from GM, you can probably get most replacement bits from NAPA Auto Parts.”
Overcoming complex type-approval regulations meant that Odierna first had to buy a brand-new Corvette Z06 Coupe from a Stateside Chevy dealer, register it and ship it across to Milan as a used car. Shipping it back to the US was also fraught with transport and customs headaches.

Also retained from the C7 Corvette are the seat frames and dashboard.

“The original plan was for the car to have made its US debut on the concept car lawn at Pebble Beach in August last year. Of course, that didn’t happen,” notes Odierna. “Actually, the very first time I saw my car was when it was rolled out of a transporter in Monterey this August.”
Most of those 169 miles were added by Odierna while cruising around the Monterey Peninsula. “I’d waited two long years to drive my GT Zagato and it did not disappoint. It felt amazingly quick—it actually scared the heck out of me when I floored it,” he mentions. “And through the curves, it just was so agile and precise. Those big Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes stop it on a dime.”

More than 2,500 hours were required to build the vehicle at Zagato’s facility in Milan.

Odierna has no idea what his car will sell for at the Mecum auction in January, and he politely declines to reveal what he paid for it. And though it just might get close to seven figures, it won’t go for the $2.04 million that the famous 1965 Iso Grifo A3/C, formerly owned by French rock star Johnny Hallyday, achieved last week at the RM Sotheby’s sale in the South of France. But according to Odierna, that’s perfectly fine. “I’m just happy to have had this very special car for the last few months, being able to open the door to my garage and see it there,” he says. “It’s such a piece of art.”

If there’s a problem with movie cars it’s that they’re usually meant for display once shooting wraps, not driving. Fortunately, that’s not the case with a Ford GT40 replica from Ford v Ferrari that’s going up for auction this weekend.

One of the six stunt cars used to film the 2019 Oscar-winner will go up for bid as part of Mecum Auction’s Dallas 2021 sales event next month. Each of these inch-perfect replicas is special, but this particular GT40 happens to be street legal.

1966 RCR Ford GT40 replica stunt car 

Mecum Auctions

Director James Mangold wanted to depict Ford’s quest to best Ferrari on the race track as faithfully as possible, so he enlisted Race Car Replicas to build a set of period-accurate GT40s. The Michigan-based outfit produced six stunt cars for the film, each of which was crafted to the exact specifications of the 1966 GT40s that brought Ford racing glory. Of those cars, only the one pictured above comes with a VIN number and title, reports Motor1.com. Because of that, you can actually register this car and take it for a drive around town.
The stunt car in question stood in for Dan Gurney’s vehicle during the movie’s climatic Le Mans scene. That racer, which bore the no. 3 gumball, didn’t finish the race, but features prominently. But that’s not the car’s only appearance in the movie. It also pulls double duty as William Wonder’s 24 Hours of Daytona car earlier in the film, though it sports the no. 88 in that sequence. Unfortunately, it didn’t manage to finish either.

Mecum Auctions

Thie replica sports a brilliant fire engine red paint job and a racing livery and rides on a set of gold wheels. Because it was made to the exact spec as the original racers, it has a no-frills interior that’s done up in all black, from the steering wheel to the seats. It’s powered by a 5.7-liter V-8 that’s connected to a six-speed manual transmission. No performance numbers are given, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s got some pep. The winning bidder will also walk away with a singed Ford v Ferrari poster and the car’s documentation.
The silver screen GT40 is scheduled to go up for bid on Saturday, September 11. No estimate has been given, but considering you can take it out on the road, we wouldn’t be surprised if it goes for a sizable chunk of change. Still, we expect it’ll cost a fair bit less than the real deal.
