This year, The Amelia weekend features two auctions, one from Broad Arrow Auctions and the other from Gooding & Company. What are we keeping an eye on? Here are 5 cars that have our attention.
1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione
Broad Arrow Auctions
Estimated Value: $10,000,000-$14,000,000
Just how much does a Le Mans and Pebble Beach pedigree add to a car’s value? This particular didn’t win at either, but, nevertheless, appeared at both. Hagerty values an open-headlight 250 GT at $4.65 million. Is this car’s history worth a $5 to $9 million premium?
1960 Chevrolet Corvette 283/290 “Fuelie” Camoradi USA Factory Race Car
Broad Arrow Auctions
Estimated Value: $1,000,000-$1,300,000
Like the 1959 Ferrari 250 GT, this Corvette has significant history, finishing second in class at Le Mans and winning an award at The Amelia. Hagery values a regular 1960 Corvette 283-cubic-inch Fuelie at just $179,000. Will this example go for nearly 10 times that?
1997 RUF CTR2
Gooding & Company
Estimated Value: $2,000,000-$2,500,000
In recent months, Rad-era cars have been fetching more than expected. Will one of the most exclusive supercars of the time period, the RUF CTR2, continue that trend?
1989 Nissan 300ZX Turbo IMSA GTO
Gooding & Company
Estimated Value: $400,000-$600,000
As one of our readers said, this was the car on his wall growing up. This particular example has four race wins on it. Will Japanese race cars with incredible histories start bringing in the money at auctions?
1957 Volvo PV 444
Broad Arrow Auctions
Estimated Value: $10,000-$15,000
Okay, why include this humble Volvo on our list? Just for that reason. This is the car with the lowest estimated value during The Amelia weekend. Hagerty values one in No. 3 condition for $11,700. Will it exceed expectations? We have a sneaky suspicion it might.
