The 2025 Monterey Car Week is well underway and the auction scene is set to highlight a truly spectacular array of automobiles from vintage to modern-day exotics, across several events. This weekend, the Bonhams Cars | Quail Auction promises to be a highlight, with 116 lots set to cross the block.
You might be scanning the docket for supercars and hypercars like the 1-of-40 Bugatti Divo that we recently highlighted, or the Pagani and Koenigsegg entries, but there’s more than just near eight-figure metal on offer. If you’re hunting for something that mixes historical significance with rarity, the docket has plenty to keep you busy.
Classic American muscle is well-represented, with some 1960s icons that still turn heads today. Fans should focus on the 1969 Plymouth Hemi Roadrunner and the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. These cars carry iconic V8s and period-correct performance, offering both investment potential and plenty of punch on a straight-line run. The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray “Z06” is another must-see, with racing pedigree and collectible appeal that still draws serious interest from enthusiasts and investors alike.
Exotic European sports cars also feature prominently. A 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT with Pininfarina coachwork and a 1973 Lamborghini Espada Series III Coupe by Bertone highlight low-production, historically significant designs.
If rally heritage excites you, the 1985 Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 and the 1990 Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V stand out. Both are Group B legends, representing an era of extreme performance and engineering excellence.
The Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 from 1984 adds another layer, showcasing the technological leaps European manufacturers made during that period. Sticking with the ‘80s, if you’re someone who wants style and performance, the 1988 Porsche 911 Type 930 Turbo Cabriolet Flachbau offers both, and is something that you can appreciate and enjoy in a roadster format.
Finally, if you’re looking for a modern supercar, a one-off McLaren 675LT Coupe with the iconic Marlboro colors, provides something truly bespoke within the modern lineup of cars in the docket. Keep an eye for our post-auction report next week, that will provide more details about prices, surprises, standout sales and insights into current collector market trends.
