No part was ignored in a meticulously thorough rotisserie restoration.

The 1968 Mercury Cougar GT-E is highly desirable. In 2011 a concours example made $181k. This pristine example appeared at Mecum.

1955 Ferrari 121 LM Spider by Scaglietti

Scuderia Ferrari Works car driven at the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans and 1955 Mille Miglia. Raced by Ferrari Works drivers Maurice Trintignant, Harry Schell, and Piero Taruffi. One of four surviving Ferrari 121 LMs. Complete nut-and-bolt restoration to 1955 Le Mans specification carried out by Ferrari Classiche between 2018 and 2023. Ferrari Classiche certified. Following disappointment at the Mille Miglia caused by an oil pump failure, chassis 0546 LM returned to Maranello, where it was converted to full 121 LM specification. Enlarged to 4,412 cc and fitted with three side-draught Weber carbs, the straight-six now produced 360 hp.

Le Mans marked the end of chassis 0546 LM’s Works career, and it was sold at the close of the season. It would go on to race with success in North America. The car was tragically involved in an accident in April 1956 when on lap 33 of the Del Monte Trophy race at Pebble Beach, Ernie McAfee missed a downshift at turn six, causing him to lose control of the car. It hit a tree on the driver's side killing him instantly. Later restored, the Ferrari appeared at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 1974, 1975, and 1976. In 2018, chassis 0546 LM was sent to Maranello, where it was the subject of a no expense spared five year restoration. Estimate is €5,500,000 - €6,500,000.

Up for grabs at RM Sotheby with no estimate. In 2017 a 1955 121 LM made $5.7m. Here.

Base Road Runner price was $3,147. It was the end of the muscle car era.

As the 1970s began, rising insurance premiums and changing tastes were cooling demand for performance cars. This icon changed hands at Mecum.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 - $165k

Two owner car. Same owner for the last 23 years. Two build sheets. Matching numbers 454/450 HP V-8 engine. M22 rock crusher 4-speed manual transmission. Cranberry Red with black SS stripes. Owner's manual. 3.31 Positraction rear end. Cowl induction hood. F41 suspension. Power brakes with front discs.

To get the biggest bruiser it cost at least an additional $988.55 to a base price of just over $2,800. With required options the big dog could cost over $4k, a huge sum in 1970.

The LS6 used the same block as the LS5, but a 800-cfm Holley four barrel was bolted to an aluminum manifold replacing the Rochester Quadra Jet. The LS6 featured a bottom end with four-bolt mains, forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods with forged aluminum, and 11.25:1 compression pistons. Because of the LS6’s 6500 redline, deep groove accessory drive pulleys were necessary. Holley-equipped LS6 received the A.I.R. system, which was one of the first items removed by owners. This example appears at Mecum.

1961 Chevrolet Corvette big brake fuelie - $242K

1 of 233 big brake cars produced. Bloomington Gold Special Collection. Bloomington Gold certified. NCRS Top Flight National--99.5%. NCRS Top Flight Regional--99.7%. NCRS Duntov Award--99.5%. NCRS Performance Verification. Total Corvette sales hit a new record for 1961, the final year for the 283 CI small-block V-8 engine. Delivering 315 HP, the top RPO 354 Fuel-Injected 283 CI V-8 engine featured a solid-lifter camshaft and Rochester fuel-injection system. Costing a large $484.20, the RPO 354 Fuelie engine powered 1,462 Corvettes in 1961.

The Big-Brake option could be ordered only with the solid-lifter engines (either fuel injection or with four-barrel carbs) and also required the Positraction rear axle option. 1,462 315-hp fuel-injected cars out of 10,939 Corvettes were produced for 1961. The number of RPO 687 cars is just 233. Among solid-axle Corvettes, few are more rare and desirable than the early RPO 684 (337 built from 1957 to 1959) and later RPO 687 (598 built from 1960–62) The car beat its estimate of $175k to $200k.

1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible - $148,500

33,125 miles. 1 of 518 GT500 KR convertibles produced in 1968. 1 of 215 equipped with an automatic transmission. Part of the Shelby Registry. Glovebox signed by Carroll Shelby. 428/335 HP Cobra-Jet Ram Air V-8 engine. Aluminum intake manifold. Ford high performance 427 heads and valve springs. 10.6:1 compression ratio. Holly 4-barrel carburetor. Raven Black exterior. Power white convertible top. The 1968 Shelby Cobra GT500KR was a mid-year introduction based on the 1968 Shelby GT500. KR, short for 'King of the Road,' was a marketing move by Carroll Shelby.

Cobra referred to the 428 Cobra Jet V-8 under the KR's custom fiberglass hood. Ford rated horsepower at 335hp, with 440 pounds-feet. Real output was closer to 400hp.

The GT500KR was sold for around $4,600. Adjusted for inflation that would be a serious bargain of $8,000 today.

The cover of the October 1968 issue of Car Life magazine asked: “Shelby’s GT500 KR — was it worth stealing?” The car promised by Ford was stolen just before delivery. It was recovered but was so badly damaged that another car had to be brought in. Car Life saw 0–60 in 6.9 seconds and the quarter-mile in 14.57 at 99.55 mph. These cars have enjoyed a spectacular increase in value over the past decade. Haggerty suggests a #1 concours 1968 Shelby GT500KR is trending around $278k.This example appears at Mecum.
