1969 Boss 302 Mustang concept car barn find

Boss 302s were tamer versions of Ford's race cars.

In the 60s, 'Boss' was slang, insinuating great looks with a touch of menace. Less than 7,000 Boss 302s were made over two years.

Ford dominated 1969 and 1970 SCCA Trans-Am racing.

No one knew where the first Boss 302 Mustang had gone or what had become of it. The first Cobra Jet fastback sat in a barn for decades, from 1978 through 2014.

Larry Shinoda was the man responsible for the Corvette Sting Ray Coupe, and the Ford Mustang Boss 302. The Mustang toured the country and after was sold off to a friend of Shinoda’s.

In 2015 a full restoration brought the car back to it's former glory. It made $180k.

1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti

One of the stars at Monterey failed to change hands.

Exhibited at the 2022 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the 2021 Ferrari Finals at Mugello, and the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena.

The 250 LM, for Le Mans, was introduced at the 1963 Paris Salon with chassis number 5149. An exotic appearance with a competition-tuned performance envelope, the LM was a forerunner of the wave of large-displacement rear-engine race cars that followed. It is among the trilogy of the all-time greatest Ferrari ever made; 250 GTO, 250 Testa Rossa, and the 250 LM. 22nd of 32 examples. Raced at the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans. Four victories and one additional class win during the 1965 BRSCC Season. Comprehensive restoration to original specifications by Ferrari Classiche completed in 2021. The race car never suffered a significant crash.

The 3.3-liter Colombo V-12 with dry-sump lubrication eventually found a home in the forthcoming 275 GTB road car. The motor gave the 250 LM a ridiculous edge in the GT class, and the car did not receive homologation for production-based racing. Instead, the 250 LM was approved for entry into the Prototype class, where the 3.3-liter engine would be hopelessly outmuscled by the Ford GT40 and Ferrari’s own P2 Spider. Enzo Ferrari was so angry over the FIA’s decision that he temporarily resigned his entrant’s license in protest, and the factory went on to relatively distance itself from the project, selling most examples to privateers.

The 250 LM’s biggest success in competition came at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans. The undeniable advantage of running a Colombo V-12 in the Prototype class was that the engine had been in constant development for over 10 years. It was bulletproof. The more powerful prototype racecars were no match in reliability. At the close of 24 hours of racing, the NART-entered chassis number 5893 claimed glorious victory, bringing Ferrari its sixth consecutive Le Mans win, and sealing the 250 LM’s legend in the process. Claiming period competition use at Le Mans, as well as a no-cost-barred restoration completed in 2021 by Ferrari Classiche, this breathtaking 250 LM is as good as it gets. Chassis number 6053 is expected to fetch between $18m and $20m at RM Sotheby.

A separate oil system was provided for the transmission. The Miura Speciale’s alloy V12 delivered 385hp at 7,850 rpm.
