This is the 1956 Corvette SR-2 Sebring Racer built by non-other than Corvette legends Harley Earl and Zora Arkus-Duntov. Just three were ever made and you’re looking at number one. It was the original GM purpose-built Corvette Racer meant to take on any Ferrari or Porsche on the block. For the first time ever, this ‘vette is up for public grabs. Want to place a bid? It’s priced at $6.885 million. Or for now, you could just take a look:

’80s Ferrari: The Testarossa

miami-vice-1980S

If you don’t think of the Ferrari Testarossa when you think of the 80s, we urge you to reconsider. This car embodies the excess of the decade (in a good way). Not only does the Testarossa have looks, it’s got the power to match. We’re talking 4.9-liter flat-12 engine that doles out some wicked noise. Check it out right here courtesy of /DRIVE:

1950 Chevrolet: Morrison Farm Truck

maxresdefault3

When Craig Morrison of Art Morrison Enterprises saw this 1950 Chevy pickup he bought it on the spot. The 3100 Series is a quintessential American Farm truck and this one (pictured above) was just wasting away in disrepair. This pickup has been restored with special attention to the chassis. Thanks to Morrison, this little farm truck has been given a second chance at life – all in its original style. From the interior design to the exterior paint, this truck’s heritage is very intact.

The Dodge Wayfarer: Aggressively Beautiful

Imagine a car that’s inexpensive, looks great AND performs. Any guesses? Believe it or not, it’s a Dodge. The 1949 Wayfarer may not be a certified muscle car but the strength is all there. Take a look at car lover Dan Zuccaro’s personal Wayfarer (pictured above). This carefully refinished machine is complete with a sleek, black paint job and steel wheels fit for a mobster. Featured on an episode of YouTube’s /BIG MUSCLE, this hot-rod immediately caught the attention of host Mike Musto.

Dare to Be Different in a Datsun 240Z

Screen Shot 2014-03-12 at 10.06.15 AM

Back in 1966, the design team over at Nissan Japan developed a new model. It wasn’t long before this car caught the attention of Nissan’s West Coast U.S. Operations. In Japan this car was known as The Fairlady Z, but in America it was the Datsun 240Z. This car was inevitably going to be a hit with drivers. It had Porsche performance and Jaguar style at a fraction of the cost. The American market Z engine was a 2.4-liter, six cylinder producing 150 horsepower. The 2,238-pound 240Z drove a quarter-mile in just 17.1 seconds.

Gordon MacSwain’s 1970 240Z (pictured above) is better than ever and ready to race a modern Nissan 370Z. Check out Motor Trend’s “Nissan Project” and see how these cars match-up.
