Listen, this is a little awkward, but I’ve been working all day here in these blogmines for over a month now and not one of you has bought me a damned thing. I bust my back grinding out news and spittin’ hot takes for you, and you can’t even send over a fruit basket?
When we look back at the post-WWII automotive designs pouring out of manufacturers, we probably would think of them as “modern” by today’s standards. But at the time, the industry was ready for something fresh, and engineers were ready to deliver. Tons of concept cars showcasing the future appeared at exhibitions…
I like dirt. I like Porsches. I really like Porsches that hoon in the dirt. Did you know Porsche built a 959 for Group B? Group B, as in the most insane era of rally? For the first time ever, a Group B Porsche 959 rally car is going to a public auction. You should buy it—for me. Otherwise, you’re all dead to me.
Recently, Bloomberg estimated that a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO will sell for a vomit-inducing $45 million at auction. This is after another Ferrari 250 GTO sold in a private sale for an even more vomit-inducing $70 million. Pretend those owners will actually drive their cars. Pretend that a small collision happens. What…
There’s something special about having the very last of something, especially if those somethings are a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and a 2017 Dodge Viper. Fiat Chrysler has ceased production of the two, and the last examples of each, sold as a pair, recently fetched $1 million at auction. Update: The winner was…
A silver 2017 Ford GT with black racing stripes is on the front of the Mecum Auctions website as of this writing, with a “main attraction” banner across its photo. But that auction could be a breach of Ford’s customer agreement on the GT, which got pro wrestler John Cena into an ongoing Ford lawsuit last year.
When the Ford GT came out in 2005, Ford asked what seemed like an unthinkably-high $150,000 for the supercharged Ferrari-fighter. Lol. These cars have gotten so, so, so much more expensive since then.
The President is a reality show host and the Pope is selling cars. 2018 is weird.
Last week, we discovered a shockingly pristine Toyota Supra Turbo on Bring A Trailer. Despite three owners, the car only had racked up 5,664 miles, was kept entirely stock, and had about as clean of a record as you could pray a car would have. At that time, someone had already bid $50,000, a pretty standard going…
Clean, unmodified Toyota Supra Turbos have always commanded hefty price tags, but the market is starting to make air-cooled 911s look like Craigslist Honda Civic beaters. As I browse the website where the Jalopnik staff wastes most of its time during the workday—Bring A Trailer—I can only wonder what this…
During Gooding & Company’s collector car auction at Amelia Island this week, this particularly low-mile Zambezi Green 1974 Porsche 914 2.0-liter sold for a massive $93,000 hammer price. This is an unfathomable price for such a car. A well-kept 914 is an incredible car, perhaps still one of the most underrated cars of…
Hey there bud. How goes? That sounds good. But it’d be better if you plopped down about $7 million (5.8 million Euros) for this 1997 Porsche 911 GT1. I know, it’s a lot. But this was the car that killed the greatest supercar racing era in Le Mans history. You can swing it.
Barrett-Jackson’s 2018 Scottsdale auction just wrapped up and everyone’s rich dad went home happy with a NUMBERSMATCHINGIKNOWWHATIHAVE 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS that’ll sit untouched in a garage for the rest of eternity. Occasionally my dad and I will watch the auction live because I will always have a soft spot for…
Ford rolled out the 2019 Mustang Bullitt edition at the 2018 NAIAS in Detroit last week. Pricing for the special edition Mustang hasn’t been revealed yet but the very first Bullitt Edition just sold for a fair bit above MSRP.
Were you sad and despondent that you didn’t get a chance to buy a Ford GT? I know some people were. Well, cheer up! Because you don’t have to wait for everyone’s Don’t Sell Your Ford GT For Two Years contract to expire anymore: There’s one headed for auction later this month.
Hello brands. I understand that you have many dynamic stories that you would love to engage with millenials, Gen-Y, Gen-Z and other lucrative cohorts. I’m here to help! I love your brands. I am not selling my soul just to collect a fat check to afford this life-ruining 1977 Maserati.
David Bowie was a man of class and style. He had an awesome collection of art and furniture and at least one mirror-finished Mini Cooper. But in the early 1980s, his daily driver was as timelessly rad as he was: this 1981 Volvo 262 C Bertone. And it just sold for supercar money at auction.
A BMW E36 M3 Evolution, with four doors and a manual, in a lovely shade of 1990s green is a wonderful car to buy. This BMW E36 M3 Evo, however, might not be the smartest purchase. You’d know it if you’d seen it on Top Gear.
The unique car you see in these photographs is a Woodill Wildfire, the 1950s brainchild of onetime Willys dealer B.R. Woodill. This design is the “series II” bodywork, which certainly hosts some strangeness in its proportions, but it’s not quite all the way to ugly. The fiberglass body plays on sports car themes of…
On December 2nd, as part of the Bond Street sale, Bonhams auction house is offering a 1959 Bentley S1 Continental Sport Saloon that was formerly owned by British rock star, Sir Elton John.
