Register to hide this ad
From the collection:
1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe
Estimate: $150,000-$180,000
The example in Mr. Peart’s collection is a 1963 327/340 hp coupe, which is the only model year to offer the iconic split rear window.
The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe, chassis 30837S109652, is equipped with a four-speed manual gearbox and displays a silver finish with a red vinyl interior.

Before it was acquired by Mr. Peart in 2011, it underwent an extensive restoration. The C2 Corvette has gorgeous design, proportions, and stance, making it one of the greatest models General Motors have released in terms of design.

I agree, the Miura is one of the best looking cars ever made by Lamborghini

1970 Lamborghini Miura P400 S
Estimate: $1,200,000-$1,500,000

When the Lamborghini Miura was released, it was the fastest production vehicle and is often dubbed as the world’s first true supercar.
The stunning coachwork was done by Marcello Gandini from the Gruppo Bertone and housed a mid-mounted transverse V-12 with an impressively low overall height of just 41 inches.

The Miura is arguably one of the most beautiful production cars ever made, and this particular Lamborghini Miura, chassis 4042, is finished in silver with a black interior. The sports car is equipped with air-conditioning and styled with Campagnolo cast alloy wheels.

Wonder what yrs he acquired them. Have to assume it was more than 20yrs ago.

all those cars sans Miura & cobra were less than 6 figure cars then. Neil did good by his family.
 
How to make a hot car look ordinary?

Paint it silver...
From the linked article:
“The title ‘Silver Surfers’ for my collection of cars occurred to me while driving the DB5 up and down the Pacific Ocean.  Because it felt right to me, I guess – the idea that I was just one of the wave riders.
It was during one of these drives when out of nowhere, it just occurred to me that the color of the ocean had influenced the silver palette of the collection. What other color looks as good in a blue photo?  Not black, not white – silver.  And a fortunate risk for the framers’ art, too: silver frames.”
 
I think the corvette "price" they list is conservative, I would think it would be double what it's shown to be valued at.
