On our way back from sunny Palm Beach where we spent a few days at Brian and James Redman’s Targa Sixty Six (66) and wanted to write a small review. In short, if you’re looking for track days that aren’t too competitive but give you a LOT of track time, in a relaxed but safe environment, this is a great event. Pricing is $1,500 for three days of driving which seems expensive until you notice you can bring multiple cars with up to two drivers. So, pricing comes out to $250 per person, per day, which is very reasonable. …Read More »

Porsche 911’s in just about any varietal, have been good on the track. They’re without a doubt the winning-est model ever made, which is why if you’re looking to get a track car, you should look at a 911. This particular version was built from a 1999 GT3 Cup car, which is nice, because it’s come from the factory as a race car. For the most part, t’s got all the GT3R add-ons. This is a car that cost over $100,000 new and we’re sure the owner has put at least 50% more into making it as it appears here, he’s asking $60,000. …Read More »

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 »

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 »

If you don’t know much about the Superformance GT40 check out their website. These are built in South Africa, steel-mono and ‘licensed’ recreations that mimic the originals with a high level of accuracy. These cars cost about $80,000 for a painted and assembled chassis, plus roughtly $35,000-$45,000 for an engine and transmission. This particular car is fully assembled with a Roush 427R and ZF trans, has only 1,600 miles, and we think is a great deal at $85,000. …Read More »

If you’re not familar with the 2000 Mustang Cobra R, it’s probably because they only built 300 of them. We featured one a while back, which sold in a matter of days, you can check it out here with 8k miles. This one has 24k, but it’s also much cheaper, with an asking price of just about $30,000, making this the cheapest 2000 R we’ve seen.

November 18, 2009: This ///M striped BMW is back up on EBay under the same seller. He’s reduced the Buy It Now from $21,495 to $19,495; we still think the car is great if the history can be proven. We’ve updated the links and pricing.

October 13, 2009: Here’s an unusual one for you BMW guys. The seller claims this is one of two cars professionally built by BMW Motorsport N.A. for the 1987-1988 IMSA International Sedan Series. Assuming that’s the case, this isn’t just any 325is but a factory-backed production based race car. This car is painted the right colors, white with tricolor “M” stripes and the sponsorship by Warsteiner makes sense, as they were big sponsors of BMW around this time, especially of the E30 M3’s running the DTM class in Europe. That said, it’s very easy to paint a car up in this fashion, so we’d like to see some more paperwork. If the seller can prove it’s provenance, which it sounds like he can, this car could be a solid deal at $19,495. …Read More »

Jim Kellison was an Air Force pilot during the Korean War who later studied aircraft engineering at UCLA. In 1954, he founded Kellison Engineering and begain professionally engineering sports cars with fiberglass bodies, at a price point sometimes twice that of a Corvette! For more info on Kellison, his company and his cars, check out this great aritcle in
Kit Car Magazine. This particular Kellison “Special” (the seller claims 1 of 5) is fitted with a fuel-injected Corvette 327 so you’ll be able to hold your own against those big Ferrari V-12’s when you’re placed next to them on the grid. Because this particular car is eligible for some many vintage events, $175,000 seems like a reasonable point of entry, especially when you factor in that you get to run with the multi-million dollar Ferrari’s, Jags, Cobra’s and the like. …Read More »

We have no clue when the first Porsche was painted bright green but we know whoever decided on that color scheme started a trend. If we had to propose a theory we’d bet that with the wide rear fenders (hips), low front nose and headlights sticking out like eyes, he wanted his car to look like a frog. Maybe it was Kermit The Frog, maybe not… but lets face it, you don’t see any Ferrari’s or Corvette’s in this color. The guys over at Teamspeed claim there have been 63 different shades of Porsche green, they have pictures of most. Regardless of color, this car looks to be pretty straight and may be a good deal with an asking price of $25,000, keep reading to find out all the upgrades. …Read More »

This Lola-looking racecar is actually a McKee, the third chassis McKee Engineering constructed. The story is that Carroll Shelby ordered it for Bob Johnson to compete in the 1964 USRRC and until recently its whereabouts were unknown. There is some great information on the early McKee chassis and this car specifically in a thread you can find here at Autosport.com. What you need to know is, this car used to be an open cockpit with a unique body. By all accounts, it was involved in a few shunts and the original body needed modification and eventually the car ended up with the nose from Dan Gurney’s Lotus 18. In the early 70’s or so, it seems a fellow had the current Lola T70 body fitted to make it more competitive with the cars running at the time. Fully original it is not but this car has a unique history which is always welcomed. …Read More »
