BMW, Race Cars

We’ve featured a few E30 M3’s on the site before, mostly low mile garage queens. This E30 is much different in that it’s fully stripped, caged and ready to hit the track. It’s currently on EBay bid up to $16,100 with 5 bids. The seller has a reserve of $25,000 (which he claims is less than the cost of the motor) and is open to offers. …Read More »

Road Cars, TVR

This ‘66 Griffith is the type of car we love finding. Owned by the same fellow since 1967, it was raced at places like Watkins Glen as well as driven on the street. Cars like this one have a history, the tell a story and that’s a great part of car collecting and ownership. This Griffith is currently on EBay with Reserve Not Met at $52,100 and 38 bids. …Read More »

Race Cars, Road Cars, fiat

Here’s a chance to own a unique 4 cylinder racer, with some cool history, for probably less than the cost of an engine rebuild on most V8’s. This Fiat Abarth ran the 2007 La Carrera Panamericana in Mexico, starting dead last but finishing in the top 50. Could be a hoot, currently on EBay with Reserve-Not-Met at $7,600. …Read More »

Race Cars, TVR

This TVR Grantura may be 1 of 4 Ex-Works or Ex-Factory Lightweight TVR race cars from the early 60’s. Grantura’s were the first TVR cars, the Series II was upgraded with a choice of 4 cylinder engines and standard disc brakes. If this history can be proven, which seems potentially possible, we think this TVR could be worth more than the roughly $56,000 asking price, plus shipping from the UK and refurbishment. …Read More »

Porsche, Race Cars

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 »

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 »

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 »

Ultima GTR’s, regardless of year, rarely come up for sale in the U.S; for more info on these cars check out their website. This one, although a 2001, has less than 6,000 miles. It’s built with very reliable parts, including a 500hp Chevrolet LS6 V8 mated to a Porsche G50 transmission. The seller claims the previous owner had $143,000 into this build, making this a relative steal at $70,000. …Read More »
