    Color: Paint to Sample Gulf Blue (golfblau; non-metallic UNI; 328; Porsche)

    Bid Price: $115,000 at time of writing
    Location: Ryan Friedman Motorcars, Glen Cove, NY

    Okay, it’s a build. However, it’s a build done in an exceedingly factory-like appearance. This car began life as a 911T, though as it sits it’s a lot more widebody RSR style. And whereas modern cars painted Gulf Blue throw a nod at the rich tradition of Gulf Racing liveries on old Porsches, an old racing Porsche in Gulf Blue is a whole other level of tribute.

    The car is up for auction on Bring a Trailer, listed for sale by our friends over at Ryan Friedman Motorcars. Check it out, including the Bring a Trailer link for much, much further details on the build.

    Color Check: ’73 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS in Grigio Ferro Metallizzato

    A highlight of Monterey Car Week is Broad Arrow’s Monterey Jet Center Auction held at the nearby airport. While in town for MCW, we stopped in for a visit at the Broad Arrow preview in order to take a closer look at the incredible metal they were offering for sale. Amongst that mix was this 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS painted in Grigio Ferro Metallizzato (106-E-28).

    Research suggests this wasn’t a special request. Grigio Ferro Metallizzato was introduced on later cars, though it remains quite rare. Only 35 Dinos were built in this color.

    We encountered the car parked inside one of the Monterey Jet Center hangars that was being used for the Broad Arrow Auction. It sold for $626,500.
