Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach sale brings a host of hot rods, muscle cars and European exotics to the South Florida Fairgrounds between April 25 and 27, 2025.
It’s one of the highlights of the American auction calendar, with something special, strange or totally outlandish on display. The event is broadcast live on FYI and the History Channel (more details available here); we’ve picked out five of our favourite lots, including a couple from the GM Heritage Collection. What are you in for?
This 1995 Ferrari 512M is the pick of the Maranello breed up for sale, even though there are currently very few details on the car available, other than the chassis number. One of just 501 built, chassis ZFFVG40A2S0103779 is one of ten Ferraris offered at Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach 2025 auction, with two SF90s – one an Assetto Fiorano model – up for grabs.
This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is one of just 212 factory F-codes built for that model year, and it has been treated to what’s described as a no-expense-spared, factory-correct restoration with EDB heads and intake as well as a Paxton/McCulloch belt-drive supercharger. Other Ford highlights include a 67-mile 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake 40th Anniversary Edition and a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 fastback with a 408ci stroker engine, as well as a brace of De Tomaso Panteras.
Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach 2025 sale plays host to two cars hailing from the GM Heritage Collection. The first is the above 1994 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 that originally formed part of GM’s engineering test fleet. One of 448 built in that model year, it’s covered 18,299 miles.
The other car from the GM Heritage Collection is the very last Oldsmobile Aurora built. The car, which has done just 42 miles, was signed by factory workers underneath the bonnet.
This 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Three-Window Custom Coupe has been built by Paul Teutul Jr using a reworked Lincoln flathead V12 engine. It has Ridetech air-ride suspension, Deep Midnight Blue ‘Dunkelblau’ paint and the original Zephyr trim, including the factory door handles.
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette ‘split window’ has an early serial number for the year: 225. It features its original 327ci engine and T10-1C four-speed manual transmission, as well as the correct aluminium snowflake wheels, exhaust manifolds and Carter carburettor.
And now for something a little different… this 2006 MTI 40 R/P speedboat was used in that year’s Michael Mann film Miami Vice. Called Mojo, the boat’s Mercury Racing engines are upgraded with upgraded camshafts, stage III superchargers from Blower Shop and a custom ECU, good enough for 700bhp per engine and a top speed of 130mph. One of two boats used in filming, it features unique port and starboard cubbies for camera set-ups. It’s being sold as a pair with a Heritage boat trailer.
