Bertone wedge, Dino badge. Steve Ahlgrim takes a close look at this 1975 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4; restored 2015–2017 under Fritz Neuser’s supervision and kept in the Neuser Collection. Immaculate Rosso paint, crisp shut lines, tidy engine bay, and just 24,000 km. Inside: tasteful beige fabric/faux-leather, that seven-dial Dino dash, and factory A/C. Once the V8 Ferrari value outlier, the GT4 is earning fresh respect as provenance and condition lead the market.

The 1966 Bill Thomas Cheetah profiled by Mark R. Brinker is believed to be the final Cheetah constructed. Commissioned without a drivetrain in November ’65 by Eddie King, street-registered in Ohio, and later shown at Pebble Beach, The Quail, and McCall’s Motorworks Revival. Finished in red with gullwing doors and a clamshell hood, it packs a front mid-mounted 377-ci Chevrolet V8 with Rochester fuel injection, a 4-speed, magnesium knockoffs, and four-wheel drums.
This car, Lot 237331, sold for $527,500 on Bring a Trailer (April 14, 2026), underscoring continued demand for significant American racing specials with strong documentation.

Read this new article on the 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo by Michael Leven here : https://www.sportscarmarket.com/profile/1980-porsche-924-turbo-holbert-racing-widebody

Alpine White, option 471 Sport Group, and a period Holbert Racing widebody that turns a 924 Turbo into a serious back-road and track-day tool. This 1980 example was widened by Paterek Brothers in 1983, later fitted with a Carrera GT–spec 6.10 K26 turbo, PWR air-water intercooler, Audi 5000 throttle body, and B&B stainless cat-back. Provenance includes long-term PCA ownership and a stint with Magnus Walker. Details that matter: L*D, Koni dampers, BBS wheels, green-face gauges, in-cabin boost controller, and a Mario Andretti–signature MOMO wheel.
In our July issue, we analyze where period widebody 924 Turbos fit in today’s transaxle market and what to inspect before you bid. Subscribers can read the full profile online.
