Porsche, Race Cars

Racing driver Walter Brun formed Brun Motorsport in 1983; they went on to campaign numerous Porsche 956’s and 962’s with a large amount of success, including a World Sportscar Championship in 1986. In the later days of Brun Motorsport the company constructed 8 chassis and built their own 962’s, this car is the last one built, serial number 962-008. Prices of anything Porsche 962 are really on a climb these days, the seller is asking $350,000 but told us $330,000 would move it. …Read More »

Chrysler, Race Cars

Oreca has been largely successful at campaigning various race cars in both Europe and the U.S.. During the late 90’s and early 00’s Oreca worked very closely with Chrysler to build factory backed Viper GTS-R’s like this one, serial number 38. This car has a long list of history including multiple wins and many podiums. It’s recently been rebuilt, the owner is asking $199,000. …Read More »

AC, Race Cars, Road Cars

This 1957 AC Aceca is a find that’s met us with mixed emotions. It was for sale (from what we recall, 6-7 years ago) for $44,000 here, but we missed it then! We’ve often looked for this exact car to come back on the market and now it has, but the values of Aceca’s have climbed, now the seller is asking $119,000. We think it’s fairly priced, just a bit hard for us to pull the trigger right now. …Read More »

Race Cars, Radical

If you follow the blog, you know we’re big fans of Radical Sportscars. We’ve featured a very reasonably priced naturally aspirated Yellow one that sold quickly, and a supercharged Blue one that didn’t. This 2004 Orange/Blue SR3 was just listed for sale, its got a Downs Engineering 1350cc Hyabusa engine with a turbocharger, good for up to 400hp. The seller claim’s he’s got over $145,000 invested, he’s asking $49,000. …Read More »

Chevrolet, Race Cars

If you’re looking to run a big V8 in NASA, SCCA Trans Am, SVRA or HSR, this Camaro might be a great option for you. This Chevy powered GT-1 car has carbon fiber 2000 Camaro body work mounted on an early 90’s Trotnow Trans Am chassis. Comes with a freshly rebuilt 358 and tons of spares, a bargain at $35,000. …Read More »

Race Cars, Riley & Scott

December 20, 2009: Interestingly, the seller updated the ad with a new price of $324,900. He claims all the spare parts have been lost in a fire which occurred on 12/19; we’re glad the car is unharmed. We’ve updated the links and description.
December 16, 2009: We’ve always loved anything Riley & Scott so when this MkIIIC just came up for sale, of course we had to post it. The MkIIIC is the last iteration of this chassis, there’s great info if you want to read more here and here. If the articles don’t convince you to pony up $325K, maybe this in-car clip will, after the jump. …Read More »

Ford, Road Cars

Ford GT’s are really bad@ss sports cars. We’ve loved them since before Ford officially launched the GT, especially given it’s pedigree. One thing that’s annoyed us however, is the fact that so many of the GT’s came from the factory with ’stripes.’ Historically, few original GT40’s where red/white, grey/grey or white/blue, but it seems like all the new GT’s are one of these combos. This particular car is Midnight Blue with the “stripe delete” option, a combo that makes it pretty rare. Given the color, and the fact that it has only 3,100 miles, this car is priced very fairly at $149,000. Don’t miss the video on the next page for more enticement. …Read More »

Mini, Race Cars, Road Cars

We’ve been overwhelmingly busy the last few days, our apologies. We’re back on track with what we think is a great deal for the right buyer, in this 1972 right hand drive Mini. It’s set up as a racer and the seller claims it placed 2nd place in the 2002 Mini Seven Series in New Zealand. It’s now back in the States and can be had for $7,950. …Read More »

Panoz, Race Cars

Here’s another car that’s ready for the track. It’d be at home at HPDE’s, SCCA race weekends or, given the current rules, HSR/SVRA historic races; plus the Shelby club would happily accept it because the power plant is from Ford. If you don’t know much about Panoz, check out their site, here to learn what you’ve missed. Panoz Auto Development was founded by Dan Panoz, son of Don Panoz, who very conveniently owns Mosport, Road Atlanta, and Sebring International Raceway as well as American LeMans and IMSA. This is a car built by a group with some serious cache, that ran the ALMS series in 2003, and can now be purchased for $99,000. …Read More »

Race Cars, Williams

We’ve noticed another historic Formula 1 car recently popped up for sale. This former Keke Rosberg/Jacques Laffite Williams FW08C just came for sale yesterday, with the seller asking $425,000. Quite a lot of money, but do not forget, Keke Rosberg was the F1 World Champion in 1982, the year before he piloted this car. Additionally, while the FW08C chassis wasn’t dominate in ‘83, it did give Williams a noteworthy win on the streets of Monaco; this car ran as high as second in that race before retiring. …Read More »
