- A 1992 Porshe 964 Turbo S Lightweight. Only 86 of them were build and expectations are that it will sell for between $650,000 and $750,000, though it could be more, knowing the vagueries of auctions.

- A 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo. Expectations are that it will sell for between $180,000 and $190,000.

The Ferraris include a rare 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC with Pininfarina coachwork which is expected to sell for between $600,000 and $700,000.

Also, there is a pre-production 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello that is projected to draw between $140,000 and $170,000.
