1994 McLaren F1 ‘LM-Specification’ – $19,805,000

Auctioneer: RM Sotheby’s

The 1994 F1 McLaren ‘LM Specification’ is remarkable for a number of reasons. For example, the factory only modified this car and one other car to meet “LM” specifications.

2017 Ford GT – $1.3 million

Auctioneer: Meum

The seventh of our newest auctioned cars for sale is the 2017 Ford GT. Following a limited manufacturing run in 2017, there was a two-year sales prohibition on the second generation supercar, 2017 Ford GT owned by famous wrestler and actor John Cena. Ford is purposely making purchasing the supercar extremely difficult, famously putting applicants through a rigorous selection process. 6500 people applied for the mere opportunity to purchase one of the 1000 editions of the John Cena 2017 Ford GT.

Following the initial application there were 350 extra vehicles made exclusively for a second round of applicants. The car that it seemed to be purchased exclusively as an investment, is cranking out some impressive statistics including a 3.5 L V6 eco-boost turbo charged engine coupled with 647 hp and 550 pounds of torque. The original purchasing price of the car was $450,000 and at auction sold for $1.485 million.

2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 VIN 001 – $3 million

Auctioneer: Barrett-Jackson

In 2020, the CEO of General Motors rolled the Chevrolet Corvette C8 VIN 001 at a Barrett-Jackson auction house. The proceeds of the sale will go to the Detroit Children’s Fund, which specializes in recruiting allstar leadership, teachers, and constructing facilities to propel youth to academic success.

Modeling some features after the C7, the C8 exterior gets a complete makeover, focused around aerodynamics, cooling and weight distribution.

The V8 engine got an upgrade, along with an 8 speed automatic, double clutch transmission, guaranteed to make you drive fast!
