RM Sotheby's has secured the rights to sell off a selection of cars from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum:


The highlights being the 1965 Le Mans winning '64 Ferrari 250 LM & the '54 Mercedes W196 Streamliner driven by Fangio & Sir Stirling Moss. Auction details are still being put together, but from what I've read, the Mercedes looks to be valued as high as $50-70 million & the Ferrari may bring in $40m+ as well.

Another Zonda up for auction in February, this is an all-original Zonda F, #16/25 built to tribute Juan Manuel Fangio. It's currently estimated $10m-$13m, which will be interesting to compare to the Zonda LM that sold for $11m just recently; have so many "unique" 1-offs been crafted that highly original Zondas are now the premium examples people will pay more for? Still a cemented $10 million car now, so I guess it doesn't matter much.

And another Zonda is up for sale later this month. Chassis #2 of the 3 Tricolores built. I believe the other 2 are currently here in the US, so some curiosity if this one will be purchased by a US buyer. This is a Sealed Bid, so no figures given or possibly shared, but I assume it'll go past $12 million.

Additionally, the Paris auction just concluded for some of the other cars I shared prior. The Ferrari 250 LM cleared $36.1+ million, & the Alfa 155 DTM did not sell, but is currently asking $500,000. Roman Grosean's Lotus E21 sold for $338,000, the Bugatti Centodieci did not sell, & the white Zonda F looks like it was pulled at some point.

 

[TheCracker]

I'm not convinced that with all the instability and uncertainty around the globe at the moment that the crazy prices that cars are going for right now make sound investments. I think i'd rather hedge my bets on $36.1m worth of bullion.

10,000 mile '00 Type R on BaT that rocketed up to $100,000 due to a short bid war w/ 7 days still left on it. This car has been preserved to the nines & reportedly has an assortment of well known, very rare aftermarket parts on it. Perhaps @-Fred- or @Danoff can chime in since I believe they have history with ITRs.

Good mods all around aside from the garbage ARC intake, I'd have gotten the Comptech Icebox instead as it was available as an option in some Acura dealers back in the day (the Mugen stuff could also be ordered from Primo/Verno Honda dealers in Japan). Fun fact for the North American cars, black was only available in the US, the 2000 cars being Flamenco Black Pearl and the 2001 cars being Nighthawk Black Pearl, with either color not available in Canada. Canada however did get a 1999 model year which the US didn't, so a Championship White 1999 ITR (with factory red seats front and back, something even Japan didn't get!) is probably the rarest North American model.

I'm not sure about 10k either for the valve cover, there's one right now on YAJ that's in rough shape for 5k (no bids on it though) that appears to be a legit one (they were made out of magnesium just like the F3000 cars), but the wheels themselves in that condition are probably worth 8-9k easy. That "golden era" Mugen stuff is basically unobtanium nowadays. In fact, it's probably worth more with the Mugen stuff on it than without. Not sure it's worth 100k to my mind given it's done 10k in 25 year and every rubber component will need to be replaced, but the market's crazy with these and I just don't get it, so...

Yeah, it is bizarre how these have continued to jump as a few years ago, I linked one for Danoff that ended up at $60,000. According to a link on the listing, the highest price for a ITR on BaT was $112,112 with 7k on the odometer & bone stock. Low mileage S2000s and CRs have jumped, but I haven't seen any rival what ITRs have touched upon. I know there has been a craze for Supras, NSX-Rs, & GT-Rs, but those are the top of the JDM food chain so it's easy to see why they're at where they're at. I can only theorize ITRs have been able to tag along.

I do wonder if it's also because a lot of these are likely long gone since they're prime targets for theft. Larry Chen just bought one dirt cheap in Japan, but is keeping it there so he has something to drive and he's afraid to leave it anywhere in Los Angeles.

That's the reasoning that makes most sense. I can't remember the exact production numbers but they weren't high, definitely under 3000 per year, probably 10-12k total over the years. Whereas Honda sold a few million EGs and everything, I mean EVERYTHING, out of a DC2 fits into an EG like it's meant to be there (because it is, they used the same platform) it's easy to see why so many were stolen and torn apart. They got quite cheap at one point, I picked up my yellow one for 12-13k IIRC, a lot of people who missed out when they were new bought them used and modified them, so I could see how finding a clean, unmolested one could bring up values.

I do wonder about restoration/bringing a modded one back to stock though, because Honda/Acura don't exactly stockpile parts for these cars anymore.

Are you sure you're not in the comments thread on the listing, lol. I saw yet another comment sharing your thoughts regarding how the fact the owner kept & is including the original OEM parts in the sale, also increases the value.

 

[Tornado]

Since a lot of the appeal of these are the "vibes" that the car is derived from, I wonder if the old adage of "mods decrease value" actually applies for cars like this when the mods in question are high end period correct ones; nevermind how most of them in this specific case are from Honda's tuning division itself.

 

[05XR8]

Well, in Australia, DC2 Type Rs with nine times the miles(about 153,000 kms) are going for half that in US dollars. So, I guess adding those parts will bump up the asking price. Especially when not having to source those parts.
Highest I’ve seen so far:

[Danoff]

Yeah, it is bizarre how these have continued to jump as a few years ago

Well it's an absolutely astonishing car for being FWD. Possibly the single greatest FWD car ever made. Marvel of an engine, marvel of a suspension. They made few, and of those few, as you say many were stolen, but even more, many were molested. I considered an E30 M3 before buying the ITR, and having driven them both around, I'll take the ITR 100%.

They just don't make cars like that anymore, and probably never will. There's a whole range of fantastic 90s hondas. CRX, civic, prelude, accord, S2000 (barely 90s), and the integra. The integra type R captures that vibe in top form.

If you want that 90s honda feel but you want it in its best package... ITR. The NSX is awesome but it's kindof its own thing. It's not a time capsule.

 

[-Fred-]

For what it's worth, the 5th gen Prelude is a criminally underrated car.
