On the Auction Block: 3 Race Cars We're Watching This Week
The folks over at Bring A Trailer have no shortage of cool race cars on its virtual auction blocks at any given time. Here's a few eye-catchers that have our attention this week:From Bring A Trailer: This Ford Mustang is a NASCAR Cup Series race car that was built by the now-defunct Stewart-Haas Racing team and re-bodied in 2022 with Next Gen carbon-composite panels.
Power is supplied by a Ford V8 linked with a G-Force GT4 four-speed manual gearbox, and the white body panels have a No. 4 Mobil 1 livery. Equipment includes forged 18-inch center-locking BBS wheels with Goodyear slicks as well as Stewart-Haas Racing shocks, a Ford 9-inch rear end, Holley electronic fuel injection, an ATL fuel cell, a vented hood and windshield, left-side air deflectors, and side-exit exhaust outlets.
The cockpit has fire extinguishers, an integrated roll cage, a Holley EFI instrument panel, and a single bucket seat with Simpson harnesses. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this NASCAR racer is now offered in Pennsylvania with a car cover and a bill of sale.
Why We're Watching: Are you kidding me? Okay, so it's not street legal, but park that baby in the driveway on race day and be the talk of the neighborhood.
Auction Ends: Monday, February 3, 1:51 p.m.
The Link: Ford Mustang NASCAR Cup CarFrom Bring A Trailer: This 1968 Porsche 911 coupe has been used as a race car over the past several decades, and it was modified in the mid-2000s with 911R-style bodywork and a replacement 2,464cc flat-six. Finished in white with black graphics, the car features a central fuel filler, flared quarter panels, acrylic side windows, and Fuchs-style 15-inch wheels.
Following the current owner's acquisition in 2017, the engine was further modified with twin-plug cylinder heads, JE 92 mm pistons, Web Cam camshafts, and MSD ignition modules. This 911 race car is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner at no reserve in California with logbooks, service records, and a clean Arizona title in the name of the owner's family trust.
Why We're Watching: We've always been a sucker for a racing Porsche. This one will cost a pretty penny, and it should.
Auction Ends: Sunday, February 2, 1:07 p.m.
The Link: 1968 Porsche 911 CoupeFrom Bring A Trailer: This Ford Thunderbird is a non-running NASCAR race car that was campaigned by Robert Yates Racing with driver Davey Allison during the 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season. Referred to internally as 'Superstar', the car participated in three races, leading all three and scoring a second-place finish after leading 190 laps in the GM Goodwrench 500 at Rockingham Speedway.
The car suffered mechanical issues at the Food City 500 race in Bristol and crashed out of the Bud 500 later in the season. The car was rebuilt and used as a backup for the 1993 season and was later fitted with a Ford Taurus-style body for use as a show car to honor Dale Jarrett's 1999 title win. It was donated to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2001 and has not been started in more than 20 years.
Why We're Watching: This one comes with a signed letter of authenticity and car history from Robert Yates Racing's former assistant crew chief Joey Knuckles. The legendary status of Davey Allison in NASCAR puts this car on our wish list.
Auction Ends: Wednesday, February 5, 2:27 p.m.
