Owning a classic car is more popular than ever but looking after them, especially if they’re particular special models, needs to be done correctly in order to preserve the original condition. One of the most popular classic cars to own is the 911, and for owners of these there is the Porsche...

Imagine a magical place where Ferrari 250 GTOs race against Jaguar E-Types, where legendary drivers pilot vintage cars they’ve never driven before, where cars that belong in museums swap paint with equally valuable rivals, and, for a touch of class, where the vast majority of spectators dress...

The strong interest in classic cars in recent years, sadly often purely for investment purposes, has led to a number of popular brands launching departments that cater exclusively to owners of older models. These departments, like Ferrari Classiche, Porsche Classic or the more recent Lamborghini...

Before there was the Veyron there was the EB110. It was built during the 1990s when Bugatti was under the stewardship of Italian Romano Artioli, a Ferrari dealer who revived the brand which had previously been dormant since 1952. He broke ground on a state-of-the-art factory in the Italian commune...

I'll start this off by saying I'm a massive fan of most things Mopar. Additionally, I love watching those with many dollars available to them spend those dollars on all manner of vehicles that cross any number of the many auction blocks. This went down in grand fashion recently in Monterey. Yes, it...

You probably know a fair amount about a wide range of automakers. You know what the four rings of the Audi logo symbolize. A Talbot-Lago is not a strange mash-up of words to you, and hearing "Bricklin" makes you think of gull-wing doors. Do you know about Mercer, though? We won't deduct car-person...

Steve McQueen was the "King of Cool" in the 1960s and early '70s. Men wanted to be him, women wanted to be with him, and cars wanted to be driven by him. McQueen's style went beyond his acting. He made being a car guy mainstream, and many of us love him for that alone. ALSO SEE: 2016 Dodge Hellcats...

The auction action in Monterey has only just begun but already we’ve seen some huge bids placed on some very special metal. The real highlight were the cars that made up the collection known as the Pinnacle Portfolio, which included the very first Bugatti Veyron sold to a customer, a special...

Considering there were just over 100 McLaren F1s ever built, of which only 72 were built for the road, it’s surprising how often the cars trade hands. Only in June we reported on British actor Rowan Atkinson, famous for playing the titular character on the hit comedy Mr. Bean, selling his...

Donald Trump is having a grand old time bloviating across the country about how Mexican immigrants are problematic, women he doesn't like are dogs and pigs, and John McCain isn't a war hero. It's all part of a calculated marketing effort known as his presidential campaign. It may have the...

To Corvette fans, certain groupings of letters and numbers have a lot of meaning. For late-model cars, Z06, ZR1, and Z51 are important alphanumerics, and for fans of vintage 'Vettes, ZL1, L71, and L88 stir their passions. Later this week, Corvette fans will be able to bid on what may be the...

Despite being considered by many as possibly the greatest supercar of all the time, the F40, Ferrari’s last car signed off by company founder Enzo Ferrari, fails to attract the multimillion-dollar bids at auction typical of other rare Ferraris. That may soon change, however, as values of F40s...

If you know a bit about old Porsches, then you've heard of the Emory family. Neil Emory is the man responsible for the Outlaw style of old Porsche 356 coupes. Fast forward from the '60s, and his grandson Rod Emory is carrying the torch forward with Emory Motorsports. Rod's company produces...

On both the track and auction block, Ferraris are known for incredible performance. And over two dozen examples, spanning much of the storied company's existence, will be up for sale during auction house Mecum’s main event during this month's Monterey Car Week. Ferrari's modern era will be...

The 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is just around the corner and while the event draws numerous enthusiasts from all over the globe it is just one of several major gatherings for classic car aficionados. Another is Germany’s Schloss Bensberg Classics, which is now into its...

Imagine if Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] CEO Sergio Marchionne had hopped in a LaFerrari and made a high-speed sprint from Cannes to London just to win a bet. The publicity would be withering, and criminal charges would be certain. But things were a little different 85 years ago. Because...

Its driver's seat is hardly the lap of luxury. There's nary a stitch of diamond-quilted leather, and at speed, it'll hardly be a whisper-quiet womb. But the classic Bentley that will be displayed at this year's Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach is a key piece of the company's...
