As every year, the auctions in and around Scottsdale will kick off the year. Gooding & Co has already "unveiled" a whole range of vehicles that will go under the hammer on January 16 and 17, 2015. And you can already see that expectations are high.
A Porsche 959 Sport from 1988, for example, is being offered at an estimated price of USD 1.5 to 2 million. Only 29 of these Sport variants were built, eleven of which were white. With only 19,000 miles on the clock, the 959 should be practically as good as new.
An Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ, one of around 200 built, is being offered on the open market for the first time in 50 years. In fact, the Alfa has been hidden away for all that time and has never been used, so is considered to be in particularly original condition. A rich racing history with participation in the Targa Florio makes the car, which is in need of restoration, particularly interesting and probably worth the estimated price of USD 600,000 to 800,000.
Other vehicles already registered include a Ferrari 641/2 Formula 1 Monoposto from 1990, a Chevrolet Yenko Super Camaro from 1967 (estimated price USD 425,000 to 525,000), a Mercedes Benz 190 SL from 1957 (USD 225,000 to 275,000), a Dino 246 GT from 1970 (USD 550'000 to 750,000), a Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser from 1976 (USD 75,000 to 100,000) and a particularly rare Maserati A6G/2000 from 1956 (USD 750,000 to 950,000), which has only recently reappeared and is certainly a concours candidate when it is newly restored.
