The Legendary 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray ZL-1 Convertible RM Sothebys 2023-01-20 | The 1969 Chevrolet ZL-1 Corvette enjoys a mythical status among production Corvettes.The selection of the RPO ZL-1 option more than doubled the price of a new Corvette, and for that amount the buyer received a 560-horsepower derivative of the all-aluminum CanAm racing engine delivered in a street-legal, factory-built production car.GM documents on file verify that only two so-equipped cars were produced at the St. Louis assembly plant and delivered through their dealer network. The 1969 RPO ZL-1 was strictly developed as an FIA/NHRA homologation experiment and, in practice, never truly intended for sale to the public.And yet, on the chilly afternoon of 30 December 1968—John W. Maher of Leechburg, Pennsylvania arrived at Harold Breman’s West Penn Garage, tossed the keys to his trade-in (a 1968 L88 Corvette Convertible), and finished up the purchase paperwork for chassis 194679S710209, the first of these two factory-documented ZL-1 Corvettes. It is the only ZL-1 Convertible built, and—thanks to Maher’s influential friends—the only such Corvette ever sold new to a retail customer.THE ZL-1: A MONSTER IS BORNAt the heart of the ZL-1 is a lightweight refinement of Chevrolet’s 427-cubic-inch L88 V-8 engine. Featuring an all-aluminum block, stouter connecting rods, a redesigned crankshaft, pistons, larger exhaust valves, a high-lift camshaft, and an upgraded “open chamber” aluminum cylinder-head design with four additional head bolts, the ZL-1 was the most powerful engine Chevrolet had yet created.Importantly, the “open chamber” head design was not finalized until March 1969, and so the pre-production version of this engine—as originally fitted to 710209—retains “closed chamber” aluminum heads.Having to first select the $1,032 RPO L88 before adding the $3,000 RPO ZL-1, power-assisted, heavy-duty brakes came standard, as did the heavy-duty suspension package, a Positraction rear axle, and transistorized ignition. The list of what you didn’t get was equally impressive: radio, heater, air conditioning, power windows, and power steering. Even the fan shroud was omitted because it interrupted airflow. At $4,718, the outrageous supplementary price of the all-aluminum ZL-1 package and its required speed accoutrements more than doubled the base price of a new Corvette.In 2012, the consignor submitted 710209 to Kevin Mackay’s Corvette Repair Inc., of Valley Stream, New York, widely hailed as the world’s foremost restorer of historically significant Corvettes.Upon disassembly, Mackay and his staff found the car to be remarkably well preserved, and it quickly became evident that its blown engine was thankfully the only damage it had sustained during its racing career. Though not the original unit, the engine currently residing in the car is an extremely early, factory-correct, date-coded, all-aluminum ZL-1 unit.Refinished in its factory-correct Monaco Orange paint and black vinyl interior, Mackay completed the car in time for the 2014 Bloomington Gold show in Champaign, Illinois. After much scrutinous review of its comprehensive factory documentation, 710209 was awarded Bloomington Gold certification and formally recognized as the first of the two factory-built ZL-1 Corvettes. Now conclusively recognized as “the real deal,” the car has also been a welcome guest at the Glenmoor Gathering, Radnor Hunt Concours, Pinehurst Concours, and special Bloomington Gold exhibits at Charlotte, North Carolina, and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.In 2018, this ZL-1 Convertible was loaned to the prestigious and internationally acclaimed Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, remaining on display there until very recently.Wearing an accurate, award-winning restoration from the most highly regarded restorer of historically significant Corvettes, 710209’s exceptional provenance is matched by its incredible performance and unique specifications. Thanks to its extensive factory documentation on file, this is, rather irrefutably, the finest and most unique special-interest production Corvette.This opportunity represents the first time that a factory ZL-1 has been offered publicly in 30 years and, more importantly, the first time that the ZL-1 Convertible has ever been offered publicly.This legendary creation offers a truly unrepeatable, once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure the ultimate keystone to any reference-grade collection containing significant examples of “America’s Sports Car.”

BUGATTI CHIRON Profilée: An Automotive Solitaire Offered Only at Paris Auction RM Sothebys 2022-12-21 | The CHIRON Profilée – originally planned to be positioned between the CHIRON Sport and CHIRON Pur Sport – never made it into production. All 500 slots reserved for the CHIRON had been sold before its development was completed. Too beautiful to be forgotten, BUGATTI decided to finalize the Profilée’s development and offer this automotive solitaire at auction to give all BUGATTI owners – and those who want to become one before the W16 era ends – the same fair chance to acquire it. The CHIRON Profilée is the optimum combination of agility, performance and elegance. One single car, never to be repeated. The last brand-new BUGATTI with a W16 engine offered from Molsheim. This automotive solitaire possesses a bespoke shape with a sweeping tail and has been given all-new steering and suspension settings for more responsive handling. The transmission is revised, with the gear ratios shortened. The rev limit of the W16 engine has increased by 200 rpm to a 6,900 rpm, contributing to a top speed of 380 km/h and an acceleration capable of reaching 100 km/h in 2.3 seconds; 200 km/h in 5.5 seconds; and 300 km/h in a near-incomprehensible 12.4 seconds.The BUGATTI CHIRON Profilée will be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s on 1 February 2023.For more details: http://rmsothebys.is/PA23Bugatti?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=PA23#BUGATTI #CHIRONProfilée #RMSothebys

RM Sothebys Most Successful London Auction Yet RM Sothebys 2022-11-18 | An all-new setting can bring a fresh feeling to a traditional event, even when the space itself is ancient. In this case, it was the introduction of Marlborough House, a three-hundred-year-old mansion in the City of Westminster, to host one of RM Sotheby’s longest-running auctions on our European schedule. With guiding principles established from its founder and patron, Sarah Churchill, confidant of Queen Anne and the Duchess of Marlborough, the Grade 1 listed mansion established there was designed to be “strong, plain and convenient, and good.” A royal understatement, to be sure.Certainly, the Duchess of Marlborough’s stately grounds could be said to have exceeded all expectations. Generously accommodating a giant canopy with room to browse the carefully curated offerings in the sale, auctiongoers were able to view fifty automobile lots and four items of automobilia. With RM Sotheby’s signature quality on display in full force, the auction began with an incredible showpiece for any Italian sports car aficionado, the Ferrari Art Edition designed by Marc Newson for TASCHEN, no. 44 of 250 made, which brought an impressive £38,400.Three hard-to-find lots of Ferrari accessories later and the first automobile of the evening would have been a headliner for nearly any other auction house: A 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow that brought nearly ten times over its high estimate. Registered to its first owner Freddie Mercury, the legendary Queen frontman and beloved icon for Brits everywhere, this was no ordinary Rolls-Royce, as the spirited bidding proved. As all proceeds went to go fund Superhumans Center, a charity established to provide aid in Ukraine, the exemplary result was more than just a hometown crowd reacting to a rockstar’s car.After a series of youngtimer sports cars, the main event of the evening began, with an assortment of eighteen driver-focused supercars dubbed The Gran Turismo Collection. Range-topping models from Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Jaguar were up for the highest bidder. A veritable hypercar occupied the top-end of the auction’s results: The 2022 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, the fastest of all the Chiron versions with a capability of 304 mph, achieved £4,195,625. A trio of the most desirable Ferrari models in recent memory followed as a 1991 Ferrari F40, 2003 Ferrari Enzo, and 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari proved to be the biggest Maranello stars of the night. The three cars sold for £1,411,250, £1,917,500, and £1,973,750, respectively. A supercar considered a classic among such other modern offerings, a 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV by Bertone, also brought an excellent £2,058,125.Immediately after the conclusion of The Gran Turismo Collection, a figure familiar to any arcade veteran of the late 1980s crossed the block: An exceedingly rare 1990 Ferrari Testarossa Pininfarina Spider ‘Special Production’ which was ordered new alongside other cars customized for the Brunei Royal Family sold for an impressive £1,467,500. With a trio of Challenge-spec Ferrari sports-racers selling subsequently, London’s love of purpose-built luxury vehicles remained undiminished.For more information, please visit rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/lf22?utm_source=Vimeo&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=LF22
The Warhol Gullwing: A Conversation between Specialists RM Sothebys 2022-11-15 | Few contemporary artists engaged with the consumer goods of their time as much as Andy Warhol. Having transformed Campbell’s Soup cans and Brillo soap pads into priceless works of art, depicting one of mankind’s most complex and consequential inventions was a natural move. Encouraged to collaborate with top-tier manufacturer Mercedes-Benz by a gallery owner based in Düsseldorf, Warhol’s first work depicted a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing. German powerhouse performance tuner BRABUS discovered the exact chassis depicted by this now-priceless artwork, the first of the unfinished final series made before Warhol’s death in 1987. Fully certified with its Mercedes-Benz Classic Hersteller-Expertise document, blessed by an iconic American innovator, and offered via Sotheby’s Sealed, this Mercedes-Benz is truly the art world’s supercar.For more information, please visit rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/wg22?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=WG22

The House That Newman/Haas Racing Built RM Sothebys 2022-10-14 | With an overall record of 108 wins and 8 championship seasons, the Newman/Haas Racing team has amassed a history of winning that puts them in the top-tier of Indy Car teams. Fielding undisputed superstars like Michael and Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, and Sébastien Bourdais, the team founded by Carl Haas and Paul Newman dominated both the CART and Champ Car series between 1983 and 2011, and forever changed the history of motorsport. Now, the private team plans its most public outing in years, an international auction hosted by RM Sotheby’s of Newman/Haas Racing’s treasured, race-proven chassis and many artifacts from their history.Without a doubt the most famous and longest-lasting collaboration in Haas history was when he joined forces with Paul Newman to create Newman/Haas Racing in 1983. Though Haas and Newman were fierce competitors in the Can-Am era, they shared a goal of rising to the top of the IndyCar leaderboard. The driving force pushing the team to victory was none other than Mario Andretti, a veteran of varied formats and a tireless competitor. While driving a 1984 Lola-Cosworth Ford, Andretti scored six first-place victories after six pole positions and went on to win the CART PPG Indy Car World Series.Mario was not to be the only Andretti to drive for Newman/Haas Racing. In 1991, in Michael Andretti’s second year with the team, he won the Indy Car World Series. Known for giving the second generation of many noteworthy drivers their first shot at racing on a grand stage, Newman/Haas Racing also was the first to field Emerson Fittipaldi’s nephew Christian, as well as Bobby Rahal’s son Graham.The success continued in 1993, when Haas managed a miracle, signing Nigel Mansell away from F1 after his winning season with Williams. After winning five races outright, Mansell took home the PPG Indy Car World Series trophy after the penultimate race, becoming the only person in history to have won back-to-back championships in the same year in F1 and Indy car.Haas’ skill as a talent scout did not stop there. Nine years later, after seven races and seven pole positions, upstart racer Cristiano da Matta became the 2002 Indy Car world champion. One year later, the most-awarded driver in Champ Car history, Sébastien Bourdais, started his ascendency for the Newman/Haas team. The result was historic, with Bourdais taking home the championship four years in a row, from 2004 to 2007. The Champ Car format itself folded the following year, meaning Bourdais’ record will never be broken.The house that Haas built still stands strong today. Having been described as the largest importer of race components on the American continent, Carl Haas forever altered the fabric of competitive driving in this country. With his keen eye for on-track ability matching his taste in fine art, Haas led a life that any enthusiast would aspire to. Now, the artifacts of Haas’ success are offered to the public for the first time. These race-proven chassis still tell a full story, one of dedication from every member of the Newman/Haas team and an undeniable pattern of victory; a foundation built on winning that will remain legendary forever. Long live the house that Haas built.For more information, please visit rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/hn22?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=HN22

St. Moritz—1936 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante RM Sothebys 2022-09-02 | From the featherweight Grand Prix Type 35 through to the indomitable Royale and devastatingly powerful Chiron, no manufacturer in history has so consistently pushed the boundaries of engineering and design as Bugatti. Nor has any marque been so inextricably linked with a reputation for both scintillating performance and timeless style. Built with the precision to rival the finest Swiss watch and the style to match the leading couture design houses of Paris, few cars in Bugatti’s back catalogue exemplify these qualities quite so effortlessly as the sublime Type 57S.Chassis 57384 is one of the most significant of these special cars, being the first of the small cohort to leave the Molsheim factory and fitted with the first "S" specification engine. Ordered by Marcel-Louis Bertrand on 29 December 1935 to replace a Type 57 in which he had crashed, the third Atalante in sequence leapfrogged two early cars to become the first Type 57S to leave the works after it was completed on 27 August 1936. The white and blue Bugatti joined its first owner in Toulon, France two days later, after being delivered via Marseille concessionaire Gaston Descollas. Originally specified with a roll-back sliding roof, it is thought to have soon been fitted with a smoked plastic transparent roof.Just six months after leaving the factory, chassis 57384 was loaned to Claire Descollas—wife of Gaston—to participate in the 9th Concours International de Tourisme Automobile Fémenin Paris-Vichy-St Raphaël held from 17-21 March 1937; as the only international rally for female participants it was widely reported in the French press and this 57S was featured in Le Figaro. Descollas was a pre-rally favourite and ran a solid 4th overall in the speed tests before retiring from the rally not far from Orange. The talented racer would later go on to capture 10 world speed and endurance records aboard a Ford flathead V-8-powered Matford as part of an all-female crew that included Hellé Nice. It is notable that the original “shell” headlamps had, even at this early stage, been replaced by the more attractive Scintilla “bowl” headlamps that would grace Type 57Ss after the October 1936 Motor Show, and it is thought that, not long after, the colour was changed to a more appealing two-tone black and red, along with fitment of tubular-style bumpers to echo those of 57373S.Following its brief dalliance with competition, the Type 57S was sent into hiding at the outbreak of war in Europe, spending the conflict buried beneath piles of wood in a barn belonging to the owner’s uncle. Undiscovered during that time, it is reported that the Bugatti started easily with a fresh battery once hostilities ceased and it was reunited with its first owner.After more than a decade of dedicated stewardship, chassis 57384 was offered for sale via Parisian agent Dominique Lamberjack, before being bought by Antoine Tripier in August 1947. The serial Bugatti owner soon exhibited the car, taking first prize at the 1947 Beaune Concours d’Elegance, and proceeded to use the Type 57S as his everyday transport. But, faced with persistent problems with the starter and a lack of suitable mechanics in his native Côte d'Or, he decided to sell.In 1951, the streamlined sports car crossed the Atlantic to its next owner, Dr Samuel Scher, following a sale facilitated by Lamberjack. Little is known of the Bugatti’s time in North America save for an appearance in the August 1954 edition of Road & Track, where it was advertised by Bill Frick Motors for the sum of $4,500. The car eventually returned to Europe before being offered for sale by Belgian car dealer Johnny Thuysbaert, after which it was bought in 1971 by Michel Poberejsky, a successful sports car racer better known to timekeepers as Mike Sparken.Owned for almost three decades, chassis 57384 has been regularly shared with the public at the world’s leading concours events. In 2003, the Atalante was part of an historic gathering of Molsheim greats at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where the car was recognised with the Prix du Design trophy. It would also collect silverware at the Louis-Vuitton Classic a year later. In addition to attending the Festival Bugatti in Molsheim in 2009 and 2014, in 2016, the consignor had the honour of delivering a wreath to the Bugatti family grave, prior to chassis 57384 being awarded the Safran prize.A hugely significant model in the history of the one of the world’s greatest marques, the Type 57S Atalante is for many the embodiment of the Bugatti legend. Chassis 57384 presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to join the ranks of a select group of owners, united through the decades by their appreciation of the model’s enduring engineering genius and timeless fashion.For more information, please visit rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/sm22/st--moritz/lots/r0009-1936-bugatti-type-57s-atalante/1278685?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=SM22

One-Off Nardo F40 Competizione RM Sothebys 2022-08-12 | Undoubtedly the most iconic supercar of the 1980s, the Ferrari F40 was nothing short of a sensation when it was announced and remains a global icon to this day. Although the car was never originally intended for racing use a number of individuals saw its potential. Ferrari would eventually authorize Michelotto to produce a series of racing examples that adhered to IMSA rules, giving the world’s fastest production car a chance to earn its keep on the race track.Michelotto built up nineteen F40s that were classified as F40 LM (for Le Mans). Seven F40 GTs were built by Michelotto for use in the Italian Supercar Championship, followed by a further seven built for the BPR Global GT Series referred to as the F40 GTE, an evolution of the LM. With the success and excitement created around the appearance of the aforementioned F40 LM’s GT and GTEs, a number of other F40s which were born as road cars were upgraded for use in racing, such as the example offered here.Originally constructed as an early ‘non-cat, non-adjust’ F40, chassis number 80782 was delivered new to Kroymans BV, the official Ferrari importer of the Netherlands following completion at the factory in November of 1989. The car remained in the Netherlands and three years after departing the factory, it was rebuilt for racing by Peter van Erp of Cavallino Tuning, the racing arm of Kroymans. No work was done to the engine at this time, but van Erp modified the suspension by fitting all-new racing shock absorbers produced by Intracks, a Stack instrumentation system, brakes, and bodywork including a repaint in yellow.Upon completion, the F40 was sold to Dutch Racing Promotions of Blaricum, the Netherlands for use by Mr. H. W. te Pas. Over the course of the 1993 and 1994 seasons, it was raced by Mr. te Pas alongside Dunclan Huisman and David Hart.In 1995, chassis 80782 was further modified to remain competitive in racing. The work was carried out by G-Tex of the UK and was overseen by Will Gollup. This included the fitment of an upgraded roll hoop and air jacks. It is believed that at this time the car underwent major engine work, increasing output to well over 700 bhp. Documentation accompanying the car indicates that this work was done in collaboration with famed racing shop Michelotto. The car was later further modified by David Hart for participation in the Ferrari/Porsche Challenge, driven by Hart and Mike Hezemans and raced again in the same series in 1998, again with H. W. te Pas, David Hart, and Bert Ploeg.Upon its acquisition by the current owner, the F40 was shipped to the famed Zanasi Group of Maranello, Italy. Just a stone’s throw from the Ferrari factory, Zanasi has enjoyed a nearly sixty-year relationship with Ferrari and is the official shop for all of Ferrari’s extracampionario paintwork requirements, Supercars, Tailor-Made editions, and Icona series cars.As part of a cosmetic restoration the car was completely disassembled with the body fully stripped to its bare materials. The car was then repainted in triple-layer Grigio Nardo in place of the traditional red, with contrasting electric blue fabric seats and painted Scuderia Ferrari shields, in the style of the Scuderia Ferrari sports racing cars from the 1960s. At the same time, the car was also mechanically serviced. Invoices for the work at Zanasi total to over €123,000.00 with work completed just a few months ago. Today, it is rated at producing between 700 and nearly 1,000 bhp based on setup, making for a truly thrilling driving experience.For many of the most famous road-going GT cars of Ferrari’s golden years, such as the 275 GTB/4 and 250 GT Lusso, it was rare for examples to have period racing history. Today those cars which do have period race history are often considered among the most valuable examples. It is similarly rare for F40s to have any form of period racing provenance, a select group to which this car belongs. The F40 is widely viewed as one of the greatest road-going GT models built by Ferrari, and this example offers the next owner a truly unique opportunity. Boasting a fascinating history and presented today in a unique and eye-popping configuration, this F40 absolutely stands out from its siblings both cosmetically and mechanically, offering a truly mesmerizing driving experience.For more information, please visit http://www.rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/PS00/Private-Sales/lots/r5466-1989-Ferrari-F40-Competizione/1263902?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=PS00
