Muscle car enthusiasts can talk for hours (no, make that days) about how rare their cars are because of a certain option or color combination, but few are as distinctive as this one. This one-of-one 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda with a special flower pattern vinyl top has been taken from its owner's...

McLaren F1s are fetching quite a bit of money these days. The last one we saw for sale went for $13.75 million and even an example that was previously wrecked still managed to sell for $12 million. Of course, the latter did have a single previous owner who just so happened to be Mr. Bean. Now...

What happens when you combine one of the humblest small cars of the 1980s with one of the era's most powerful engines? You get the Ford Shogun, an outlandish custom that could have only been born out of the excess of the early 1990s. Not only that, but the Shogun is part of Jay Leno's private...

One of the ultimate icons of 1980s, the Porsche 959 stands out as much for its technological advancements as it does for its excess. What's more than a 959? A one-off 959 convertible, like the white one that has recently hit the market in a small northern Italian town near Venice. A listing on...

A lot can happen over the course of 28 years, but time appears to have stood still for this 1981 Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] 308 GTSi.
