🏁 Sold Last Week [40/52] 🏁

Last week’s market was defined by strength at both blue-chip classics to modern limited-production exotics. A Ferrari 488 Pista at $619K and a Ford GTX1 at $648K led the week, signaling deep-pocketed enthusiasm for low-mile, special-series supercars, while analog icons like the 997 GT3 ($185K) and 993 Carrera 4S ($173.5K) continued their steady climb. The $1.355M 300SL Roadster and $344K AMG GT Black Series reinforced that top-tier collectibles remain stable, but the standout takeaway is clear: rarity, originality, and analog engagement continue to outperform in 2025’s collector market!

This Canadian-market 488 Pista was originally delivered to Ferrari of Alberta and had over CAD $104k in options. Ordered without a radio (!), this was a purist-spec example with one of the lowest odometer readings of any Pista to hit the public market.

Despite being located in Canada, it realized a healthy $619,000, reflecting the surge in demand for ultra-low-mile modern Ferraris despite the barriers set in place to get them through the current tariffs.

One of fewer than 40 Ford GTs converted by Genaddi Design Group, this GTX1 represents one of the rarest and most dramatic interpretations of Ford’s modern supercar. Inspired by the GT40 X-1 that won Sebring in 1966, the GTX1 featured an open-top design, revised engine cover, and unique fairings, making it a collectible that transcends the already limited-production GT.

Finished in Ebony Black with silver stripes and showing 17k miles, this example was the 18th GTX1 built and bears the signatures of designer Kip Ewing and builder Mark Gerisch. Its originality, signed plaque, and bespoke modifications make it especially desirable.

The GTX1 has long been overshadowed by the factory GT, but that narrative is quickly shifting. With 2005–2006 GT values plateauing around the $400K–$500K range, collectors are turning toward rarer coachbuilt derivatives. This sale at $648K reinforces the GTX1’s transition from curiosity to legitimate blue-chip derivative — a car that blends Ford’s engineering with coachbuilt exclusivity. Expect continued appreciation as collectors prioritize one-off and low-volume American supercars.

This Giallo Super Fly 1999 Diablo VT Roadster captured peak late-1990s Lamborghini drama, combining Gandini’s iconic design with the final updates to the Diablo line. Featuring the refreshed fixed headlights (borrowed from the Nissan 300ZX), a removable hardtop that stows above the engine bay, and Lamborghini’s signature scissor doors, it exemplifies the transitional era leading up to Audi’s influence on the brand.

With just 9,000 miles and presented in highly original condition, the car was powered by the legendary 5.7-liter V12 producing 522 hp, paired with a gated 5-speed and Lamborghini’s Viscous Traction AWD system. The black-and-yellow interior with diamond-stitched inserts and embroidered headrests further highlighted its period flair.

The Huracán STO represents the pinnacle of Lamborghini’s V10 lineage — a rear-wheel-drive, race-bred evolution of the Huracán Super Trofeo designed for uncompromising performance on both road and track. With 631 horsepower from its naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 and a curb weight reduced by over 90 pounds versus the Performante, it stands as one of the last analog-feeling supercars in Lamborghini’s modern era.

The Huracán STO marks the end of Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V10 era — a point that collectors are beginning to appreciate. While early speculation drove STOs above sticker, market normalization has now stabilized them in the $340K–$380K range. This sale at $357K reflects a mature market: values are holding firm thanks to limited production, track pedigree, and the model’s “last of its kind” significance.

Unlike the mass-produced EVO and Performante, the STO’s motorsport-derived engineering and rear-drive purity ensure long-term collector interest. Expect appreciation once hybrid successors dominate the lineup, as buyers refocus on unfiltered, high-revving exotics that embody Lamborghini’s raw DNA.

The 300SL Roadster represents the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz’s postwar engineering, blending the race-bred precision of the Gullwing with open-top touring elegance. Produced from 1957 to 1963, only 1,858 examples were built, with just 249 completed for 1960, making this a highly desirable model-year example.

Chassis 002442 was delivered new to Curaçao in late 1959 before being imported to California, where it remained with its original owner for over four decades. Finished in its factory color of Fire Engine Red with a tan leather interior and beige soft top, it’s powered by the iconic 3.0-liter M198 inline-six featuring Bosch mechanical fuel injection and dry-sump lubrication, paired with a four-speed manual transmission.

Accompanied by its factory data card, Gullwing Register entry, tool kit, fitted luggage, and owner’s manuals, this example offers both historical completeness and exceptional originality, hallmarks of blue-chip 300SLs.

The 300SL Roadster remains a cornerstone of the blue-chip collector market, admired for its usability, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal. With values consistently hovering between $1.2M–$1.6M, this $1.355M sale reflects the strong demand for unrestored, mechanically sorted examples with transparent provenance.

The 991.2-generation GT3 brought back the manual gearbox after enthusiasts demanded a purer connection between car and driver. Powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six revving to 9,000 rpm and paired with a six-speed manual, it delivers one of the most visceral driving experiences of any modern Porsche.

Manual 991.2 GT3s continue to hold their own in the enthusiast market. This sale at $202K shows strong demand for this generation despite having average mileage!

The 997.1 GT3 remains one of the purest driver’s cars in Porsche’s modern history, pairing the legendary Mezger flat-six with a six-speed manual and rear-wheel drive. Stripped of unnecessary weight and driver aids, it represents the last truly analog GT3 before electronic intervention and wider production runs defined later generations.

The first-generation 997 GT3 continues to gain momentum as collectors and enthusiasts rediscover its raw, mechanical character. Powered by the final evolution of the Mezger engine and free from electronic interference, it’s widely considered a modern benchmark for driver engagement.

This $185K sale aligns with recent results for low-mile, ceramic-brake-equipped examples, showing steady appreciation since mid-2023 when similar cars traded near $150K. With the 991.1 GT3 now fully depreciated and the 992 generation commanding near $300K, the 997.1 GT3 occupies a sweet spot of analog appeal and attainable exclusivity. Expect continued upward movement as pristine, sub-10k-mile cars become increasingly scarce.

The AMG GT Black Series represents the ultimate evolution of Mercedes-AMG’s front-engine supercar, a machine developed with clear motorsport intent and benchmark Nürburgring performance. Producing 720 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, it once held the record for the fastest production car lap around the Nordschleife.

The AMG GT Black Series continues to perform strongly on the secondary market as collectors recognize it as AMG’s last pure internal-combustion flagship before hybridization. While initial post-launch prices peaked near $500K, market normalization has placed clean, ultra-low-mile cars like this one in the $325K–$375K range.

This sale at $344K aligns with recent Bring a Trailer and RM Sotheby’s results, confirming a stable, mature value floor for top-condition examples. With AMG shifting focus to the hybrid GT63 E Performance, the Black Series stands as a modern analog supercar milestone, the most extreme, track-focused Mercedes of the era. Long term, it will remain the definitive AMG halo car of the 2020s, much like the CLK63 Black Series defined the 2000s.

The first-generation Audi RS4 Avant (B5) remains one of the most important modern classics to come from Ingolstadt — a car that redefined the performance wagon and helped cement Audi Sport’s identity. Co-developed with Cosworth, it featured a twin-turbocharged V6 sending power to all four wheels through a 6-speed manual and Quattro all-wheel drive, making it a practical yet ferocious performer.

This $85,600 no-reserve sale shows a small drop in value as the others will soon be importable. This exact car was last sold on Cars and Bids for $91,000. Compared to E39 M5s and C5 RS6s of the same era, the B5 RS4 offers more exclusivity, a purer driving experience, and unmatched heritage. With Audi’s modern RS cars becoming heavier and more digital, this twin-turbo wagon represents the analog peak of Quattro engineering — fast, rare, and deeply charismatic.

The 993-generation 911 Carrera 4S combined the widebody allure of the Turbo with the simplicity and purity of a naturally aspirated, manual drivetrain. Powered by a 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six paired to a six-speed manual and all-wheel drive, the 4S delivered the perfect balance of usability and presence, making it one of the most desirable 993s of all.

Among 993s, the Carrera 4S continues to outperform standard Carreras and C2S models, largely due to its Turbo-derived body, AWD system, and enduring collector appeal. This sale at $173.5K reflects the upper range for clean, low-mile Aerokit-equipped cars, marking a rebound from mid-2023 levels when similar examples traded closer to $150K.

Collectors increasingly prize well-optioned 4S models as the bridge between analog and modern 911s, offering timeless design, mechanical feedback, and usability that newer generations struggle to match. Expect continued appreciation for examples with original paint, documented history, and factory Aerokit options, the trifecta for long-term value retention.
