Cars
Every car Rare Machines has written up, in one place: live picks first, then the archive of sold and ended dossiers, with the public result where the venue printed one. Each carries a rarity score on our published 0–100 scale.
Rare Machines is not the seller. Each machine is offered by the auction house or dealer named on its page; we write the history and link you there.

Car
1967
Ferrari
275 GTB/4*S NART Spider Ex-Steve McQueen
Ferrari never catalogued an open 275 GTB/4. Chinetti forced ten Spiders into existence — and chassis 10453 went new to Steve McQueen, who changed it to suit himself and never put it back.
Rarity 96/September 17, 2026
Car
1978
Fiat
131 Abarth Works Rally Ex–Michèle Mouton
Not another Stradale in stickers. This is a Fiat France Group 4 Corsa 131 that Michèle Mouton took to the top ten at Corsica and Monte — a works car with a named WRC trail.
Rarity 91/October 1, 2026
Car
1964
Plymouth
Barracuda Landau / Targa Prototype
Plymouth never sold a 1964 Barracuda without a full roof. This gold one-off Landau/targa study is the studio’s early open-air experiment — a factory one-off, not a custom chop.
Rarity 88/September 24, 2026
Car
1997
Ford
Mustang Cobra SCCA Trans-Am chassis 33 Ex-Tommy Kendall
Roush chassis 33 is not another Mustang with stickers. It is the works Trans-Am silhouette that won the first eleven races of 1997 with Tommy Kendall — the championship car from the end of Roush’s road-racing era.
Rarity 93/September 18, 2026
Car
1995
Ford
Mustang Cobra IMSA “Nobody’s Fool” chassis 23
Roush chassis 23 is not a pony car in costume. It is the tube-frame GTS-1 that took Daytona’s class in 1995 with Newman, Kendall, Martin, and Brockman — a works race car with the race-worn body back on.

Car
2000
Mercedes-Benz
CLK DTM Competition RS00-001
Eight CLK DTMs restarted Mercedes’ silhouette war in 2000. Chassis 001 is the HWA mule the champions sat in before the lights — a works car with a Brazilian endurance coda.
Rarity 91/September 10, 2026
Warwick built about a hundred five of these cycle-fendered racers. Chassis D18 spent six decades proving a Silverstone is a register car with a Mid-Ohio past — not another pretty Healey.
Rarity 80/September 9, 2026
Most “specials” on auction sites are clever recreations. This one is the opposite problem: a single Buenos Aires coachbuilt sports-racer, commissioned when Ford Argentina could not buy the European weapon it wanted, then raced, altered, shown, and somehow still intact as a one-of.
Rarity 87/September 9, 2026
Zagato aluminum on a Fiat 600 derivative is already a small club. The Record Monza name marks the chapter where Abarth turned Monza endurance glory into a badged GT — and this example is only just rare enough for Rare Machines, with its year and engine both needing careful checking.
Rarity 71/September 9, 2026
About seventy DB4 convertibles left Newport Pagnell. Far fewer wore the Special Series Vantage engine. Chassis 1072/R is that scarce open Vantage with a two-owner paper trail from Woolworth’s MD to Goodwood.
Rarity 84/September 9, 2026
Car
1967
All American Racers
Eagle Mk I Gurney-Weslake #103
Four Mk I Eagles. Three Weslake twelves. Chassis 103 is the American GP car with Ginther, Gurney, and Scarfiotti in the book — and a Mosport podium in the rain.
Rarity 94/September 9, 2026
Car
1991
Jordan
191 chassis 191/3
Seven 191s launched Jordan into Formula 1. Chassis 3 is the de Cesaris points car from Canada and Mexico — 7-Up green, one owner since Eddie sold it in 1992, offered without its engine.
Rarity 90/September 9, 2026
An E31 850i is a grand tourer. An Alpina B12 5.0 is a different product with a different VIN language and a production total you can count on two hands of tens. Ninety-seven cars. No U.S. factory allocation.
Rarity 72/September 9, 2026
Car
1992
Nissan
P35 chassis P35-02
Three P35s left NPTI before Nissan killed prototype racing. Chassis 02 is the Mid-Ohio test mule that never got a green flag — extremely scarce, with a substitute V12 disclosed.
Rarity 92/September 9, 2026
Car
2004
Ferrari
Enzo Matte Nero Opaco
Every Enzo is rare. This one left Maranello in Matte Nero Opaco — the only factory matte Enzo — for a Brunei royal brief, then spent two decades proving paint can be provenance.
