Auction

Imagine the year is 1996. You've just acquired a new car. You're the proud new owner of a Mercedes-Benz SL500.

Ford Motor Company’s [NYSE:F] new Mustang Shelby GT350 only started deliveries a few months back but already one of the cars has turned up at a salvage auction. Thankfully it’s a 2016 model and not one of the uber-rare 2015s, of which Ford built just 137 examples, but it’s still a...

Porsche fans look away as a 918 Spyder looks to have been involved in a serious crash. All that’s left is a hulking heap of wires, metal and carbon fiber. A photo showing the odometer reveals that the car had only been driven 92 miles before meeting its demise. The shot also reveals that this...

Bugatti's 57 model range is about as desirable as an antique car comes, but this particular 57SC Sports Tourer may take the cake after it sold for nearly $10 million at auction last weekend. The 57SC crossed the block at Bonhams' auction on the sidelines of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance...

It's fair to say that Lamborghini has done pretty well under Volkswagen Group ownership. VW's resources have allowed Lambo to develop higher-quality cars, and the larger automaker seems committed to Lamborghini for the long term. But the pre-VW days weren't all bad. ALSO SEE: 1957 Ferrari 335 S...

There’s been a bit of a frenzy in the market for Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams connected to the 1977 classic "Smokey and the Bandit," though one could say it’s simply a reflection of the current mania in the world of collector cars. The mania certainly hasn’t hit its peak as...
