10 Celebrity, Athlete and Influencer Cars That Surfaced on duPont REGISTRY Live

Limited production, rare specifications, and low mileage tend to dominate the conversation around collector cars, but a notable ownership history can add another dimension entirely to a car’s appeal. With the first anniversary of duPont REGISTRY Live fast approaching, we’re continuing our series looking back at the cars and moments that have defined the platform’s inaugural year. Last week, we counted down the 10 cars that achieved the highest results on dR Live so far. This week, our focus shifts to cars connected to everyone from Grammy-winning musicians and Hollywood A-listers to championship-winning athletes, prominent social media personalities, and some of the automotive world’s most recognizable figures. 10. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro LSX Restomod | Chris Carpenter | $138,075 Kicking things off is a car that looks familiar from a distance but becomes considerably more serious the closer you get. Built for and previously owned by two-time MLB World Series champion and Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter, this custom 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible brought in $138,075* during a three-hour duPont Drop Flash Sale. Underneath the classic bodywork sits a supercharged 454-cubic-inch LSX V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9.0-inch rear end. An Art Morrison G-Max chassis, C5 Corvette front suspension, adjustable coilovers, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes further separate it from a standard Gen-1 Camaro. The changes are equally extensive outside, where shaved door handles, RS-style hideaway headlights, custom wheels, and a black power-operated top create a cleaner, more contemporary look. Inside, a fully customized leather cabin features yellow contrast stitching, a Sparco steering wheel, and AutoMeter instrumentation, rounding out this open-top American restomod's specifications. View Result 9. 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S680 | George Strait | $175,875 Taking this list in an entirely different direction is this 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S680, previously owned by Grammy-winning country music icon George Strait. The black-on-black flagship limo with 20-inch forged monobloc wheels brought $175,875* and showed just 4,950 miles when offered. While most of the cars here put the emphasis on outright performance, the Maybach is all about making speed and distance feel effortless. Its 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 under the hood sends power through a nine-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels, but its real appeal lies inside. The Executive Rear Seat Package adds reclining rear seats, while all four seating positions offer heating, ventilation, and massage functionality. Dual rear entertainment displays, heated and chilled cupholders, and a Burmester 4D surround-sound system further elevate the cabin. Despite its understated appearance, this S680 with its plush AIRMATIC suspension represents one of the most luxurious and comprehensively equipped cars on this list. View Result 8. 1968 Ford Mustang “Eleanor” Restomod | Jon Bon Jovi | $195,300 Staying with the musicians but returning to American performance, this 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback previously owned by Jon Bon Jovi brought $195,300*. Finished in Pepper Silver with Le Mans-style black stripes, the car was reimagined as an Eleanor-style restomod inspired by the unmistakable Mustang from the 2000 film Gone in 60 Seconds. Notably, this is not a factory Shelby or licensed continuation model. Instead, it is a custom build featuring the familiar GT500-inspired hood, revised fascias, side-exit exhaust, and other styling elements associated with Eleanor. A 351-cubic-inch Cleveland V8 replaces the original 289 and pairs with a four-speed manual transmission, while Baer four-wheel disc brakes help bring its stopping ability closer to modern standards. The cabin continues the theme with Shelby-branded seating, Simpson racing harnesses and a wood-rim steering wheel. Carroll Shelby’s signature across the dashboard added another notable name to a Mustang already carrying plenty of pop-culture provenance. View Result 7. 1999 Nissan GT-R V-Spec (R34) | Supercar Ron | $288,225 Representing Japan on this otherwise European- and American-heavy list is this 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec, which brought $288,225*. Previously owned by social media personality and noted collector Supercar Ron, the R34 is finished in arguably the model’s most recognizable color: Midnight Purple. More important than the color, however, was its condition. Showing just 16,864 kilometers, or roughly 10,500 miles, the car remained largely stock and retained its original paint and RB26DETT 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six. A six-speed manual transmission, ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive and HICAS four-wheel steering complete the technology-heavy specification that helped turn the R34 into a performance icon. Black NISMO LMGT4 wheels and NISMO side skirts added just enough visual aggression without straying far from the original formula. Combined with its mileage, condition, and documented connection to Supercar Ron, it was an especially compelling example of a car whose following now extends well beyond the traditional Japanese-car community. View Result 6. 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS | Bruce Canepa | $366,713 Next up is a Porsche with provenance that will mean something to anyone familiar with the upper end of the collector-car world. Previously owned by renowned Porsche specialist Bruce Canepa, this 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS brought $366,713*. Finished in a vibrant orange with 17,351 miles on the odometer when offered, this 997-generation RS pairs a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. That is already an enticing formula, but this example goes further. Gold BBS wheels, JRZ suspension and an Akrapovič exhaust sharpen its appearance and performance, while Carrera GT carbon-fiber bucket seats, a MOMO steering wheel and a paint-matched roll cage make the cabin feel even more purposeful. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and the Sport Chrono Package are also part of the specification. Two keys, Schroth harnesses, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity add documentation to an already notable combination of specialist ownership, analog performance and distinctive presentation. View Result 5. 2003 Lamborghini Murciélago | Nicolas Cage | $379,050 . Bringing Hollywood into our countdown is this analog-era 2003 Lamborghini Murciélago, previously owned by Academy Award-winning actor and longtime car collector Nicolas Cage. Finished in Giallo Orion, this flagship Lambo brought $379,050* and showed just over 44,500 miles when offered. Cage’s ownership is an interesting part of the story, but the specification is arguably just as significant. This particular example is one of roughly 316 first-generation 6.2-liter manual coupes delivered to the United States, pairing its naturally aspirated V12 with a factory six-speed gated manual transmission and all-wheel drive. The Murciélago also received an extensive major service from Lamborghini Las Vegas shortly before appearing on duPont REGISTRY Live. The work reportedly exceeded $63,000 and included a replacement clutch, spark plugs, filters, brake pads, belts, hoses, and various fluid services. An aftermarket Fabspeed exhaust further amplifies the mid-mounted naturally aspirated V12. View Result 4. 2024 Porsche 911 S/T | Adam Levine | $616,350 As the results climb, we return to Porsche with this 2024 911 S/T, previously part of the collection of Grammy-winning musician and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. Showing just 253 miles when offered, it brought in $616,350*. Finished in Shore Blue Metallic, the car features the Heritage Design Package, pairing its understated exterior with a Black and Classic Cognac leather interior. Nearly $37,000 in factory options further elevate the specification of this particular example. Created to celebrate the 911’s 60th anniversary, the S/T is limited to 1,963 examples worldwide. It combines the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six from the GT3 RS with a six-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and an extensive weight-reduction program. Carbon-fiber body panels, magnesium center-lock wheels, and lightweight glass helped make it the lightest member of the 992-generation family at launch. View Result 3. 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 | Daily Driven Exotics | $816,900 Breaking into the top three is the second gated-manual Lamborghini on our list, although this one carries a very different ownership story. Previously owned by the team behind Daily Driven Exotics (DDE), this 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 with 41,577 miles when offered brought $816,900*. The Daily Driven Exotics connection gives this car immediate social media recognition, but its rarity is the larger takeaway. This is one of only 26 factory-gated LP640 coupes delivered to the United States, combining a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 with a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. Finished in Giallo Orion, it features gloss black Hemera-style wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, electronically controlled damping and a front-axle lift system. Inside, Nero Perseus and Giallo leather are joined by carbon-fiber trim and an updated Kenwood touchscreen. Following an incident in 2022, the car underwent professional repairs and a complete refinish by Royalty Exotic Cars in Las Vegas. Full paint protection film and an upgraded exhaust complete the specification. View Result 2. 2003 Saleen S7 | Roger Rodas and Always Evolving | $945,000 Sitting one spot below the top of our list is an American supercar with one of the most distinctive silhouettes of its era. This 2003 Saleen S7 showed just 1,910 miles when offered and brought $945,000* following an energetic auction that generated 473 bids. Best known for its tuned Ford Mustangs, Saleen created the S7 as a clean-sheet, mid-engine supercar. Designed by Phil Frank with chassis-development assistance from England’s Ray Mallock Limited, it pairs carbon-fiber bodywork with a chrome-moly steel space frame and extensive functional aerodynamics. A mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 produces 550 horsepower and sends power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Chassis 03-024 is believed to be the 8th of 22 naturally aspirated S7s produced. Finished in Speedlab Silver, it is also one of only two S7 road cars reportedly built without the polished-wheel upgrade. The car was previously owned by Roger Rodas and formed part of the collection at Always Evolving, the performance shop Rodas operated with the late Paul Walker. Founder Steve Saleen’s signature under the driver-side butterfly door completes an already compelling specification. View Result 1. 2024 Rimac Nevera | Steve Hamilton and The Hamilton Collection | $1,352,400 Topping this list by a considerable margin is the first Rimac ever offered on duPont REGISTRY Live. Originally specified by Steve Hamilton of The Hamilton Collection, this 2024 Nevera brought $1,352,400*. Chassis #69-of-150 is finished in a bespoke purple exterior over black Alcantara with vivid lime-green accents. The dashboard also carries the signature of Rimac founder Mate Rimac, adding a personal detail from one of the most influential figures in the modern performance-car industry. Coming to performance, four electric motors produce a combined 1,914 horsepower and 1,741 pound-feet of torque, helping the Nevera accelerate from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 1.85 seconds. Showing 3,788 miles when offered, the car was accompanied by its battery charger, car cover, owner’s manual, key box, and one key. Between its Hamilton Collection provenance, bespoke specification, and seven-figure result, this all-electric hypercar sits in a different league from the other cars in this countdown.

Porsche Design Joins F.A.T. International's Legendary Ice...

The iconic Ice Race is back after three years, now covering two continents and partnered with Porsche Design for a unique timepiece. After a thrilling three-year break, the legendary Ice Race is making a grand comeback, promising more excitement than ever before. F.A.T. International is all set to reinvigorate this Porsche-fueled event, overcoming any weather challenges and expanding its reach across the globe. The race's grand return will begin in Zell am See, the heartland of F.A.T. International, before making its way to the majestic Rocky Mountains for an exciting second round. Porsche Design, the event's official timing partner since 2020, is elevating the experience with their recent trip into the deserts of Dubai. In this exotic locale, Ferdinand Porsche himself took a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, adorned with an exclusive F.A.T. livery, for a desert-drifting run. Alongside this display of performance expertise, the latest collaborative creation, the Chronograph 1 Utility - Limited Edition, was also put through its paces. Porsche Design has a legacy of horology dating back to the late 1970s, with the stainless steel Military Chronograph. Originally designed with a matte-black PVD coating for minimal reflection and optimal readability, it was a favorite among international air forces, including the U.S. Air Force. Today, the iconic timepiece is reborn in partnership with F.A.T. International. The Military Chronograph transforms into the Utility model, boasting 100% scratch-resistant titanium carbide, making it an ideal accessory for any adventure. The Chronograph 1 Utility - Limited Edition is an example of Porsche Design's dedication to innovation and style. With Ferdinand Porsche's influential touch, the watch features the iconic F.A.T. Mankei graphic on the case back and dial, and an additional white textile strap marked with the coordinates of the Ice Race in Zell am See.

Making an appearance at Sotheby's Luxury Week in New York, these two Porsche legends come together as the perfect pairing. At the hands of Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, Porsche transformed itself from a producer of performance cars to a luxury lifestyle brand that embodies the same traditional values.
