Andy dives into the delightful dockets of the Monterey Car Week auction

Monterey Car Week is back and hundreds of amazing vehicles will be on offer at the five auctions this week on the Northern California peninsula. A large number of those vehicles are quite significant and among the most valuable in the world.

That group includes storied racing cars that competed at at Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring and the Mille Miglia. There are also a large number of significant sports and GT cars on offer.

Looking for a car that is, quite literally, extra special, you should find it this week at the Monterey auctions.

One reason for the delightful dockets this year is that the coronavirus pandemic cancelled Monterey Car Week in 2020. One result was that the traditional auction companies and others involved in the collector car business moved to their own online auctions, while virtual venues such as AutoHunter and Bring a Trailer helped to move the metal as well.

Many so-called experts said last year that live auctions were dead. They couldn’t have been more wrong.

Just the opposite has taken place. While online auctions continue to do quite well, the return of live, in-person sales have produced staggering hammer prices with buyers who are eager to get out there and start spending again willing to pay whatever it takes to get the cars they want.

Look for what some call a bidder feeding frenzy to continue during Monterey Car Week. There are cars being offered from important collections and I anticipate that we will see record prices at the auctions.

Yes, many of the European bidders will be unable to attend in person, but they will have friends and agents bidding for them. Though not in the room physically, they will be there virtually, bidding by phone, internet or agent.

While going through the various Monterey Car Week auction catalogs, I have picked eight cars that are the ones that are among the most significant crossing the blocks, or at least the ones I’ll be most curious to see how the bidding goes and where the hammer falls.

1970 Porsche 917K, #031/026 at RM Sotheby’s

Monterey auction, Andy dives into the delightful dockets of the Monterey Car Week auction, ClassicCars.com Journal — RM Sotheby’s photo

The why is easy: It’s a 917K that ran at Le Mans and is even seen in the film of the same name. It was driven by my friend and racing legend David Hobbs. The estimate is $16 million to $18.5 million, and I would be surprised if bidding doesn’t at least reach the lower of those figures.

1962 Aston Martin DB4GTZ/0190/L at RM Sotheby’s

To me, this is the pick of the litter of the Aston Martin cars offered at Monterey this year. It is a GT that was driven by Roy Salvadori to a second-place finish in 1962 at Brands Hatch. This car also is a DB4GT, my all-time favorite Aston Martin behind the DBR1 that Salvadori and Carroll Shelby drove to victory at Le Mans in 1959. A car with this history is one to be cherished forever. The pre-auction estimate of $11 million to $14 million. That seems quite fair. I hope it reaches the high estimate.

1959 Aston Martin DB MK III saloon, AM300/3/1642 at Bonhams

Yes, another Aston, but the DB MK III is considerably more affordable than the DB4GT and would make a wonderful car for every event I can think of, including Pebble Beach. I also fit in the MK III better than in any other classic Aston DB. I would have it repainted in its original color of Cardinal Grey and have the wheels painted to match, but at the per-auction estimate of a very fair $120,000 to $160,000, that would be financially doable without being upside down in the car.

1952 Ferrari 212 Europa Cabriolet by Ghia, chassis 0233 at Bonhams

I have seen this car on concours lawns and I love the quirky Ghia styling. I also love the fact that it is an early Ferrari and has so many interesting elements in its trim and interior. That this car was on the Ferrari stand at the 1952 Geneva Motor Show and then at the Turin show adds to its allure. Fully documented by a Ferrari Red Book and a Massini report, this gem of an early Ferrari would be a joy to own, even at the $1.7 million to $2.1 million estimate. I’m betting it will hammer a little above the low estimate.

1965 Shelby GT350R, chassis SFM5R538 at Mecum

This is the winningest Shelby ever with 17 consecutive vicdtories in 1967-68, and winning 32 more times on through the 1971 season. It was clocked at Daytona in 1968 at 184 mph, the fastest 289-powered Shelby ever. Do you really need more than that? It would be great to race it in the Monterey Reunion next year, and the estimate of $1.25 million to $1.5 million seems pretty fair to me.

1959 Porsche 356 A Convertible D, chassis 86830 at Mecum

Having owned a 1955 Porsche Speedster, I have to say that the Convertible D is a better car, having a slightly taller windshield, roll up windows, and comfortable seats. It is the thinking person’s Speedster and this car is documented as the final Convertible D Porsche built and is a completely matching numbers and correct car. The pre-auction estimate is a bit high at $500,00 to $600,000 dollars. Were this car mine, I would keep it forever.

1969 Iso Griffo 7 Liter, chassis 7L930.260 at Gooding

Who doesn’t love the Iso Griffo? Italian styling with big American power in the form of a 427cid Corvette engine makes it a high-powered, dramatically styled Italian GT with the ease of use of an American car powertrain. This car is finished in Sera Blue and is truly road rally ready. I can’t think of a more fun car to take on the Copperstate 1000. The pre-auction estimate for this car of $550,000 to $650,00 might be a bit light, I would not be surprised to see it exceed the high estimate.

1977 Porsche 934/5, chassis 930 770 0951 at Gooding

This amazing Porsche racing car has all the history you need to enter any vintage event on the planet. It is the first of 10 934/5 cars built by Porsche and was originally delivered to none other than Peter Gregg at Brumos. It immediately finished third overall in the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1977. It’s a true weapons-grade Porsche racing car that was campaigned by one of the most famous American Porsche racing teams. The pre-auction estimate of $1.3 million to $1.6 million dollars seems more than reasonable to me for such a car.

These are the cars, among a few others, that I will be watching with special interest this week at Monterey. To see the full dockets, visit the various auction websites or the actual auction venues in person.

Russo and Steele will be at Fisherman’s Wharf, RM Sotheby’s in downtown Monterey, Mecum is at the Hyatt Regency, Bonhams is at The Quail Lodge, and Gooding & Company is at Pebble Beach. Collector cars also are being offered for sale (without bidding) during the week at the Blackhawk Collection Expo at Pebble Beach.

Consistency rules when it comes to vehicle searches on ClassicCars.com

People searching for vehicles on the ClassicCars.com marketplace are amazingly (perhaps stubbornly?) consistent in what they want. The vast majority want vintage American vehicles, especially those produced in the late 1960s.

We track and report on two types of searches each month — those made by year, make and model, and those done simply by marque regardless of year.

For the sixth month in a row, in July the most-searched for vehicle by year, make and model was the 1969 Ford Mustang, and for the sixth month in a row, the runner-up was the 1967 Mustang.

searches, Consistency rules when it comes to vehicle searches on ClassicCars.com, ClassicCars.com Journal — 1969 Dodge Charter

Also proving popular throughout 2021 have been the 1967 Chevrolet Impala, the 1969 and 1970 Dodge Charger, the 1965 Mustang and the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.

“All of the above cars can be bought for reasonable sums of money if you are not chasing one with a rare optional engine or rare performance package such as a Chevelle SS or a Charger R/T,” notes Andy Reid, the Journal’s East Coast editor and classic car marketplace analyst.

“In addition, all of the above vehicles have tremendous aftermarket parts support and also offers those parts at affordable prices.

“Finally, all of these classic cars are simple mechanically with tremendous documentation on how to actually fix them via books and YouTube video tutorials.”

There also has been consistency in the more generic any-year searches. Throughout 2021 so far, it’s been Chevrolet at No. 1, Mustang at No. 2 and Ford at No. 3.

In July, the Chevrolet C10 pickup truck moved back into its usual No. 4 spot, which it had lost for the first time this year to the Buick Grand National in June. The Buick dropped back to fifth place in July.

Last Alfa Romeo Le Mans racer leads Bonhams’ Goodwood auction

The last Alfa Romeo to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a 1972 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT3, will be among the highlights of the Bonhams collector car auction held July 9 during the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Chichester, UK.

The Tipo 33 was one of three Alfa Romeos run by the Autodelta team and, driven by Andrea De Adamich and Nino Vaccarella, finished fourth overall in the 1972 endurance race.

The Alfa is one of the premium selections among Bonhams’ auction docket of historic racers, ranging back to the 1920s, and high-performance sports and GT cars.

The Alfa Tipo 33 was built from a new all-steel spaceframe tubular chassis, according to Bonhams, with a potent quad-cam, 36-valve V8 engine producing 440 horsepower, a new five-speed gearbox and newly minted safety fuel tanks. Its estimated value is £1.8 million to £2.2 million ($2.48 million $3.03 million).

“The Alfa duo (De Adamich and Vaccarella) in car number 18 overcame various incidents over the 307 laps, including a clutch issue and a spin which required the fitting of a new nose cone,” Bonhams says in a news release.

“Although Alfa Romeo retired from Le Mans, this car campaigned selected events with subsequent private owners, who included Steven O’Rourke, manager of British rock band Pink Floyd, himself a Le Mans racer, and three important Japanese collections: Hayashi Collection, Yamaguchi and finally Takeshi Fujita.

“Continually maintained and restored by Tipo 33/3 specialists, this Tipo is eligible for the world’s greatest historic races and concours events, including the Le Mans Classic race which it last contested in 2018.”

Bonhams, Last Alfa Romeo Le Mans racer leads Bonhams’ Goodwood auction, ClassicCars.com Journal — 1928 Maserati Tipo 26B two-seat race car

Another “Tipo” from an earlier era is also on the Bonhams auction docket, a 1928 Maserati Tipo 26B 2.1-litre Sports, Gran Premio and Formule Libre racing two-seater, with an estimated value of £900,000 to £1.3 million ($1.234 million to $1.79 million).

“This example’s bright red livery and 150bhp performance is matched by its exotic provenance,” Bonhams said. “It was the first Maserati to be imported into Argentina by its first owner, rancher and weekend racing driver Juan Augusto (John) Malcolm, an Argentinian of Scottish descent, whose career overlapped with the great Juan Manuel Fangio.

“Malcolm ordered number 35, while racing in northern Italy, and the car was originally finished in blue and white – Scotland’s sporting colors – rather than the blue and yellow Argentine racing livery. Campaigned by Malcolm for the next decade, it was later converted for more comfortable road use and was kept by the family until the late 1980s.”

The third Italian motorsports brand at Bonhams is represented by a 1957-type Ferrari Dino 246/60 Historic Racing Formula 1 single-seater with an estimated value of £900,000 to £1.3 million ($1.234 million to $1.79 million).

“This well-presented front-engine 2.4-litre V6 Dino was campaigned in historic racing, including the Monaco Historic Grand Prix, during the 1980s by leading Italian classic car dealer Corrado Cupellini,” Bonhams states.

Among the sports and GT cars consigned for the Bonhams sale are a pair of Aston Martins, including a 1964 DB4 convertible that counts among its past owners Peter Sellers, The Earl of Snowdon and HRH Princess Margaret, and has an estimated value of £1.3 million to £1.7 million ($1.79 million to $2.34 million).

The other Aston Martin is a 1966 DB5 Sport Saloon, restored in the 1980s and driven just 6,700 miles since, with an estimated value of £500,000 to £600,000 ($688,000 to $825,000).

Road-going Ferraris on the Bonhams docket include a 1990 Ferrari F40 Berlinetta, with an estimated value of £800,000 £1.2 million ($1.1 million to $1.65 million).

“Ferrari’s 40^th birthday gift to itself was the last motor car to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari and the first production passenger car with a top speed of more than 200 mph,” Bonhams notes in its release. “The Pininfarina-penned mid-engine sports car was also one of the last ‘analogue’ supercars, devoid of electronic aids such as paddle-shift automatic transmission.

“This example was first owned by gentleman racer Sir Paul Vestey, who travelled to Italy to collect it.”

Also among the Ferraris is a 1958 250 GT Berlinetta with coachwork by Carrozzeria Ellena. It’s one of just 50 examples built by the Turin, Italy, coachbuilder. Estimated value for this restored coupe is £700,000 to £900,000 ($963,000 to $1.238 million).

Barrett-Jackson scores record $48 million in first summer Vegas auction

Barrett-Jackson hit a resounding record result for its Las Vegas Auction, scoring a total of more than $48 million and a 100 percent sell-through for collector vehicles, automobilia, charity sales, even a few NFTs, during a hot weekend in Sin City.

The three-day auction, held June 17-19 as the launch for the new West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, is Barrett-Jackson’s first summer auction in Vegas, where for the first 12 consecutive years sales were held during the fall. The auction was canceled for 2020 due to the pandemic and rescheduled for 2021 as the company shook up its annual lineup of events.

Heading the auction was the sale of a rare 2015 McLaren P1, a 903-horsepower hybrid hypercar originally owned by popular electronic-music producer Deadmau5 (pronounced “dead mouse”) and driven just 180 miles. The car sold for a spectacular $1,567,500 (all results include auction fees).

A 1963 Corvette split-window coupe was one of the top-selling cars

The results breakdown came to about 700 all-no-reserve vehicles reaching more than $46 million, 284 pieces of automobilia sold for $884,000, and $775,000 raised through the sale of four charity vehicles. Barrett-Jackson also became the first collector car company to auction non-fungible tokens (NFTs), representing past sales of 001 serial-number vehicles, which brought in an addition $65,000.

“We arrived in Las Vegas riding on the tremendous momentum of our record-setting Scottsdale Auction in March,” Craig Jackson, chief executive of Barrett-Jackson, said in a news release. “We’ve accelerated that success with a 100-percent no reserve docket, more world-auction records, a ground-breaking sale of NFTs, and making history as the first public event in the fabulous new West Hall of the Convention Center.

“It’s absolutely clear that the collector car market is stronger than ever, and Barrett-Jackson is fueling that enthusiasm.”

Besides the McLaren, two other auction cars sold for seven figures, a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster that hit $1,045,000 and a 2019 Ford GT for $1,023,000.

A special highlight of the Las Vegas auction was the sale of the custom 1994 Toyota Supra driven by the late Paul Walker in two of the Fast and Furious movies. The distinctive and turbocharged Supra sold for $550,000.

Among the celebrity cars sold at the auction were three from “Mr. Las Vegas,” singer Wayne Newton, who stood onstage as the bidding commenced. Also, two cars owned by the late big-cat trainers and life partners Siegfried and Roy crossed the auction block.

Another legendary name from Las Vegas entertainment history, Frank Sinatra, was represented in the sale of a 1970 Maserati Ghibli that he previously owned.

Charity sales, a signature piece of Barrett-Jackson auctions, and which have raised $133 million to date, were:

• A 2021 Ford Bronco 4-door Badlands Raiders Edition, which raised $275,000 for the Grant a Gift Autism Foundation and Raiders Foundation.

• A 2020 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Hertz/Hendrick Motorsports Edition, for $250,000 benefitting Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation.

• A 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat AWD, with the $180,000 benefitting Ronald McDonald House of Detroit.

• A 1956 Chevrolet 150, which sold for $70,000 to benefit Honor Flight Network.

The top 10 vehicles sold during the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction were:

1. 2015 McLaren P1 at $1,567,500

2. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster at $1,045,000

It’s a Mini milestone: 20 years back in production

April 26 marks the 20th anniversary of the return to production of England’s iconic Mini, albeit this time around under the ownership of the BMW Group. It was on April 26, 2001, that the first of the new-generation compact vehicles rolled off the assembly line at Oxford.

Since then, more than 5 million Minis have been produced, and in various body architectures, including 3-door hatch, 5-door hatch, Clubman and Electric.

With parts coming from Swindon and assembly at Oxford, more than 4,500 people produce 1,000 Minis a day, with another rolling off the line every 67 seconds.

Public tours of the Oxford facility attract more than 25,000 people a year, Mini noted in its anniversary announcement.

Sales of the new Mini in the US began in 2002.

Larry takes a nostalgic stroll through the AutoHunter docket

I don’t know about you, but when I page or click my way through a collector car auction catalog, I often stop to engage in a moment of nostalgia when I see a car that triggers very personal memories.

I had that experience again this week as I worked my way through the offerings on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com:

Larry takes a nostalgic stroll through the AutoHunter docket | Pontiac GTO

I was in college when the original Pontiac GTO lured me to our local Pontiac dealership. I couldn’t afford such a car, but I did seriously consider the LeMans on which it was based. As it ended up, I didn’t buy the LeMans either. Instead, I went to the local American Motors store where my grandparents had bought cars and had had good dealerships experiences.

Fast forward a few years and I’m working on a book about the development of the revived Chevrolet Camaro and how much of the engineering development of the sports coupe was done in conjunction with GM’s Australian arm, Holden.

As part of my research, I’d gone Down Under to ride along in early prototypes and larger I went to Germany to watch the Camaro do its fast lap at the Nürburgring. While in Europe, I was invited to tag along as the engineers did a development drive, my invitation made in part because I had borrowed a small van from Opel and the engineers decided it would be an ideal vehicle to carry all their luggage.

But they also had pity on me and my low-powered van, and a couple of times offered to drive it so I could experience one of their cars. In addition to Camaros, they’d brought along a prototype, a 4-door sedan, of the Holden-built Monaro what would become the basis of the Pontiac G6 and later the last-generation GTO.

Like the GTO, this engineering-development car had a powerful V8 engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, and it was an absolute blast to drive.

Which brings us to the 2006 Pontiac GTO being offered on AutoHunter. The car has a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 rated at 400 horsepower and connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential. The powertrain has been upgraded with an AEM intake and Corsa exhaust.

The car has been driven less than 66,000 miles since new.

Larry takes a nostalgic stroll through the AutoHunter docket | 2005 Mini Cooper

Several years ago, it appeared that a 1960s-era Mini had been abandoned in our church parking lot. I was on the church board at the time and no one seemed to know why the car was there. I even began the process of establishing that the car was abandoned with the thought that we’d gain the title and stage a fund-raising auction (which I planned to win).

Turned out that the car belonged to a friend of the pastor, who had told his friend the car could be left there while the friend was on an extended trip.

Old Minis are fun cars, but so are the newer ones, especially the Cooper-tweaked models. Basically, they’re street-legal go-karts.

The one up for bidding on AutoHunter is a one-owner car with M7 and other aftermarket tweaks to its supercharged 4-cylinder engine, and a Borla cat-back exhaust. The car, equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox, also has suspension and brake-system upgrades.

Other features include navigation and Harmon Kardon audio.

This is a car that has been enjoyed, being driven 165,500 miles since new. Its sale includes the original engine components that were replaced with aftermarket parts as well as M7 parts that were not installed.

Larry takes a nostalgic stroll through the AutoHunter docket | Hudson Super Jet

In the era before shopping moved to suburban malls, there were such magnetic places at Macy’s in New York City, Marshall Field & Co. in Chicago, and the J.L. Hudson Company in Detroit. Each was a multi-story department store and destination that drew consumers and especially treated them with their Christmas holiday displays.

Joseph Lowthan Hudson also financed Roy Chapin’s fledgling car company, which was given Hudson’s name rather than Chapin’s.

Hudson produced cars from 1909 to 1954, when it was acquired by American Motors, which kept the brand alive for only a few more years. But the brand was innovative and is cherished. Personally, I enjoyed visiting the amazing Hostetler Hudson museum — and was sad to cover its funeral auction — and also enjoyed being one of the judges at the annual Orphan Car Show staged by the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum, which is housed in a former Hudson dealership in southeastern Michigan.

Which brings us to the 1954 Hudson Super Jet up for bidding on AutoHunter, a car owned since new by the same family and driven less than 67,000 miles in all those years.

The car has an inline-6-cylinder engine and 3-speed column-mounted manual gearbox with overdrive.

The car has been repainted in its original teal green shade (with the wheels powder-coated to match), the engine has been rebuilt, the bumpers re-chromed, and the interior refurbished with new upholstery, door panels and carpet.

As you might expect from a family-owned and offered vehicle, the car isn’t quite perfect. Door latches need to be adjusted, the dome light and a radio knob are missing. On the other hand, the car is being sold with some spare trim pieces and 6-volt bulbs.

To view these and many other vehicles available, visit the AutoHunter website.
