Current car consignments for the 2021 auction event include a shockingly wide range of top-shelf collector cars from modern and exotic supercars to historic race winners and more. Among the latest highlights to be added to the auction roster is a 2015 McLaren P1 GTR (Lot S118) that is No. 26 of just 35 produced and boasts only 120 miles on its clock. Contrasting the modern might of the McLaren are two prewar luxury cars: a 1929 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Convertible (Lot F49) that’s one of just 31 produced and an award-winning, CCCA Full Classic 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged Sportsman Convertible Coupe (Lot F83). The Cord is one of only 64 built and stuns with its iconic art deco design by Gordon Buehrig.

Auction offerings from the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s have also come to the table, such as the final 1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D (Lot S125) to be produced—a model believed by many to be the rarest “production” Porsche ever built for a full year with just 1,331 released. An unrestored, Bloomington Gold-certified 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe(Lot S121) that shows a shockingly low 20,500 miles and retains its original tank sticker will also cross the block in Monterey, as will two stunning vehicles from the Ferrari factory: a 1963 250 GT Lusso Berlinetta Scaglietti (Lot S110) and a 1973 Dino 246 GTS (Lot S119). The 250 GT shows Serial No. 4513GT and was the 57th of 350 built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti and designed by Pininfarina. It includes a Marcel Massini Report, a Ferrari Classiche Certification Red Book and was previously part of the Matsuda Collection in Japan. The Dino is Serial No. 05848 and displays a mere 21,085 miles; it’s equipped with a gated 5-speed manual gearbox mated to a 2418cc 6-cylinder engine and includes independent front and rear suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes, power windows, Borletti air conditioning and more.
