Chevrolet is promising to break some Camaro news tonight at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., but the company isn't saying what. It's unlikely that the news will be related to the upcoming Z28--although, who knows?--so we speculate that Chevrolet is likely to unveil something...

David Beckham seems like a genuinely nice guy. In the articles and interviews we've read, he's come across as intelligent, affable, and not too full of himself -- no small feat, considering that most soccer fans and advertising directors think he's a demigod. We don't fully understand Beck's...

An unnamed buyer has just dropped $217,100 on a used 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet and, to make matters worse, the car was extensively modified. Normally, this would seem a ridiculous amount to pay for such a vehicle but in this case the car was previously owned by none other than soccer star...

Ford is already auctioning off a 2012 Boss 302 Mustang at Barrett-Jackson this month, and now there is one more Mustang goody on the line. Aftermarket supplier SPX is selling a Ford Mustang FR500S that is modified to meet World Challenge GTS specifications on January 21. The auction, which takes...

A very special Corvette Z06 will be up for sale at this month’s Barrett-Jackson vehicle auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The car is a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, which was built to commemorate the classic American supercar’s inaugural appearance and victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 50...

This year’s list for the annual Gooding & Company Scottsdale vehicle auction reads like a Who’s Who of the auto world, with some of the rarest cars under the sun going under the hammer. The most exclusive cars are part of a collection owned by the late Benny Caiola, a property...

Bonhams auction house this weekend sold The King's 1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 at Mercedes-Benz World near Weybridge, Surrey, U.K. for a price of $187,390 including the buyer's premium. Elvis Presley's former super cruiser will now reside in Germany--a homecoming, of sorts. Presley owned the car, a...

Here’s something you don’t see every day. The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is selling his 1977 Peugeot 504 to help raise funds for charity. The car is being sold in an international auction and all funds will go to help the Mehr housing project, a charitable organization that...

Classic sports cars regularly sell for millions on the auction block--particularly when they have a racing or celebrity heritage. It’s not surprising then that the 1964 Aston Martin DB5 piloted by Sean Connery's James Bond in the movies Goldfinger and Thunderball has sold for £2.6...

Dominick Dunne was many things to many people: novelist, journalist, movie producer, husband, and father, to name a few. (His son, Griffin, may be the most underrated actor of the 1980s. Or the most overrated. Jury's out.) In addition to all that, Dunne was also something of a car fan. Nothing as...

And yea, it came to pass in the year of our Lord and Lady Gaga 2010 that Manny "Poopy Pants" Ramirez, multiple Silver Slugger and erstwhile doper, did solemnly and graciously sacrifice his prized 1994 Porsche 911 to eBay, with proceeds divided, like the waters of the great Red Sea, to charities of...

Aston Martin. Just the name can set a gearhead's pulse racing. But there's more to the marque than just its latest and greatest cars like the Rapide, V12 Vantage, and DBS. It has history--serious history. Like the 1966 DB6 going up for auction in Monterey via Mecum. This particular 1966 Aston DB6...

A tribute to one of the most iconic and distinctive film cars of all time, the original Batmobile, will be the highlight of an auction taking place in the UK on June 2. The faithfully re-created car has been owned by Mark Perkins since it was completed in 1988 and is expected to raise the highest...

We'd planned to write a story about Cameron Diaz being shuttled home in a black Cadillac Escalade after a late-night cuddle session with Alex Rodriguez. But as usual, C-Di and A-Rod put us to sleep, and when we woke up, our colleagues at Jalopnik had dug up something far more invigorating: news...

Only one original Lamborghini Bertone Miura Roadster was ever created, and now that special car is headed for sale in Switzerland. The Kidston auction house is offering the car, which was originally designed as a pure exercise in aesthetics to preserve interest in the Miura Coupe. A special feature...

Reigning Formula One world champion Kimi Raikkonen has shelled out 200,000 euros for a 1974 Chevrolet Corvette ('73 model pictured) once owned by Hollywood actress Sharon Stone. Raikkonen bought the car at a charity event for the Elton John Aids Foundation on the eve of the Monaco Grand Prix...

A 1966 Shelby Cobra "Super Snake," once owned by Carol Shelby himself, was sold at auction for $5.5 million.
