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.

Matching Tour de France Ferraris For Sale

Some days are ok for a V8, while others demand a V12. And if you have choices like these, why not spend a little more for a matching set. Our friends at Merit Partners recently came across just such a scenario: Two Ferraris ordered with the exact same specifications. One owner decided to build a unique 2015 Speciale Aperta in Tour de France Blue. And once the Ferrari F12tdf was announced, he decided to repeat the process. Because they are so similar, lets see what they have in common: Both Cars Have: Tour de France Blue Livery Full Red Leather Interior (Door Panels, Center Console, Dash, Kick Panels, etc) Red Calipers Red Leather Seats w/ Embroidered Headrests All Books, Keys, Car Covers & Battery Tenders 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta When considering the 458 Speciale Aperta, Ferrari only built 499 examples. Of those, only 10% were ordered with leather. This hardtop convertible is their last naturally aspirated V8. It offers 597 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque without turbos. It does so with a screaming V8 up to 9,000 rpm. The entire front end is covered in protective film, and it has $19,000 in additional options.

The Tour de France was an automobile race before it became the bicycle endurance competition. Enzo Ferrari and his team dominated it in the early days, and the company chose to build 799 cars to commemorate their wins. To order an F12tdf in Tour de France livery cost a small fortune. To do so while replicating the car in your garage is asking a lot from the factory. Nevertheless, this car has titanium exhaust, suspension lift, AFS headlights, heat insulated windshield, and $37,000 in additional options. The odometer reads 195 miles, so it is practically new inside and out.

2017 Ferrari F12tdf Heading to Mecum Kissimmee

Are you looking for a last-minute gift for your favorite fan of Formula1 racing? Something like this won't be seen in years, so that's why Mecum Auctions is pleased to offer this stunning 2017 Ferrari F12tdf at their Kissimmee event.We haven't seen anything like this before. Every possible connection to F1 racing can be seen on the window sticker. Starting with the paint, it is not the normal Rosso Scuderia. It is actually a triple-layer finish that was used for the race team in 2007. Rosso F1 2007 is either loaded with fine metal flake or the clear coat is colored. Probably both, since Ferraris painted in this shade seem to glow in low light situations.On top of the finish are carbon fiber Scuderia shields on the fenders and an Italian flag on the hatch. Every piece of optional carbon fiber includes a package tray signed by Sebastian Vettel. The optional telemetry system was a $10,124 line item that records data and GPS readings to a USB drive. It can be played back through the car's instrument panel or analyzed later on a PC.Built to remember Ferrari's dominance in the Tour de France races, only 799 cars were produced. Each one is armed with a 6.3 liter V12 making 769 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is mounted at the rear axles and connected to the engine by a carbon fiber torque tube. With over $92,000 in options, this car was probably one of the most expensive F12 examples to be produced. The odometer reads 1,157 miles, which tells us the solid lifter masterpiece is not broken in. This car deserves to be run-in by a collector who understands how rare it is.Cars of this caliber are the reason why Mecum is shaking up the auction industry.

Highly Optioned Ferrari F12tdf Heading To Monterey

In order to build the ultimate example of the F12berlinetta, Ferrari took a page from their history book to create the F12tdf. When people hear Tour de France, their minds instantly turn to the famous bicycle race. But before it was a battle of two-wheeled machines, it was a road rally featuring the world's fastest cars. Enzo Ferrari and his cars dominated the race from 1959 to 1964 by using the best in racing technology. Secrets learned on the track helped to build better street cars, and this is still true today.The Ferrari F12tdf is more than just a track-ready F12berlinetta. In order to push the limits of their V12 engine, the top end was redesigned with solid lifters and bigger cams. In normal cars, the cams push on hydraulic lifters. They are pressurized by engine oil to act as a cushion between the valve and the cams. Not only does it make for a smooth & quiet engine, they are self-adjusting for years of trouble-free running. Solid lifters have no such pleasantries. They are used in high rpm engines with monster cams because it provides more precise control of the intake and exhaust valves. The downside is they are noisy and require adjustment at least twice a year. Most gearheads can live with these annoyances, so the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. Ferrari F355 For SaleCadillac invented the hydraulic lifter and it was introduced on the 1930 V16. Manufacturers haven't lost the ability to build solid lifter engines, BMW's E46 series M3 used them until 2006. So when Ferrari decided to go retro on the valves, they didn't stop there. Bigger cams promote better airflow from idle to redline, and the dual-clutch transmission shifts 40% faster. The gear ratios are closer to keep the engine in its powerband, which is much wider. Variable length intake runners help to offer 80% of max torque (520 lb-ft) at only 2,500 rpm. That is how it is able to hit 60 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed north of 211 mph.Its predecessor had 509 lb-ft, but it could only be found at 6,000 rpm. A torque increase of this magnitude is like comparing chicken broth to chunky soup, it is much more satisfying! By using composites and cutting insulation, the F12tdf is also 240 lbs lighter. Enhanced aerodynamics produce 87% more downforce, and it is put to work by 4 wheel steering and stiffer suspension. Only 799 cars were built, and each one is the perfect blend of modern technology and racing knowledge. This is the only example we've seen in yellow that includes matching luggage and 2-tone interior. With only 84 miles, you can bid with confidence because you won't find another one in this condition. It is one of the 7 cars in the Gatsby Exotics Collection, which will be the main attraction at Mecum Monterey. Stay with us for complete coverage of the event.2017 Ferrari F12tdf For Sale
