New auto auction platform launches with rare collector cars on offer

A new auction platform for enthusiasts or first-time buyers

The collector car world has seen a surge in online auction platforms, with even traditional auctioneers moving to internet-based sales.

Collectors Xchange is the latest option to enter the arena, promising hassle-free auctions through its dedicated mobile app and website.

With the auction platform now live, we have taken a look at the cars currently listed for sale, and those coming soon.

‘Cars with truly distinctive features and provenance’

Collectors Xchange has been jointly founded by J.R. Amantea, Michael Yager, and Chandler Briscoe. All three are said to be life-long auto enthusiasts, having raced or restored cars from a young age.

Their aim with Collectors Xchange is to offer cars or auction with a detailed condition report, undertaken by a third party. Newer cars will also benefit from the offer of a Carfax report, whilst free shipping is included for sale prices over $150,000.

Sellers are promised the benefits of flat-fee listings, starting from $299.99. All auctions will be conducted virtually through the app and website.

1992 Ferrari 348 tb

With a bright red Ferrari as the first car consigned for sale, Collectors Xchange has made a bold start to the online auction world. Finished in Rosso Corsa, and with a tan leather interior, it will tick many boxes with Ferrari purists.

Powered by a mid-mounted 3.4-liter V-8 engine, the 348 tb left the Maranello factory with 296 horsepower and 238 lb-ft of torque. This could mean a potential 166 mph top speed, but it is the precise, non-power assisted, steering that makes the biggest impression.

1992 Ferrari 348 tb

Although the 348 tb has had four previous owners, the original purchaser of the car held onto it until 2009. A full Carfax report details some of the service history of the Ferrari, with it having spent much of its life in Pennsylvania.

Despite the age, the 348 tb has covered fewer than 7,700 miles on the odometer. It has recently been serviced, and comes with the owner’s manual and tool kit both finished in leather.

1999 BMW Z3 M Roadster

The second car made live on Collectors Xchange taps into the ever-growing modern classics market. It seems hard to believe that the BMW Z3 M Roadster is now more than two decades old, and has passed into genuine collector territory.

As an early model, this Z3 M uses the 240 horsepower version of BMW’s 3.2-liter straight-six engine. Like all versions, it uses a five-speed manual transmission to send its power to the rear wheels.

1999 BMW Z3 M Roadster

The detailed CX condition report mentions a minor paint scuff to the front bumper, but otherwise seems impressed with this very low-mileage car. Recent servicing should also help it find a new owner.

As a potentially appreciating modern classic, this Z3 M could be set for a summer of top-down cruising.

1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda

Opportunities to buy a true Plymouth Hemi Cuda do not come along frequently, meaning this is a rather special proposition. Recently restored, and with numbers-matching engine and transmission, this Cuda is the real deal.

Star of the show is the 426-cubic inch Hemi V-8, which is connected to an automatic transmission. Ivy Green Metallic makes for a subtler paint color compared to some options, matched with a Shaker hood and black vinyl roof.

1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda

The restoration work was undertaken by Roger Gibson and Frank Badalson, and saw OEM parts used throughout. Supporting information to demonstrate the Cuda’s provenance includes the original Plymouth broadcast sheet and fender tag.

Low production numbers when new mean that finding a 1970 Hemi Cuda is a difficult task at the best of times. Being restored, and finished in a rare color, could make this one seriously hot property.

2015 Panoz Esperante Spyder GT

For a genuine rarity, this Panoz Esperante is hard to beat. It is said to be one of only 25 Esperante GTs built by the Georgia-based company, intended to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Panoz brand. Just three of those cars were finished in the open-top Spyder design.

A supercharged LSA V-8 engine can be found under the hood, with 560 horsepower on offer. Side-exit exhausts, and six-speed Tremec manual transmission, are part of the deal as well.

2015 Panoz Esperante Spyder GT

Panoz used their race car experience when building the Esperante, with the chassis made from aluminum. The exterior is clad in a special combination of carbon fiber and aluminum, saving weight but adding strength.

Covering the lightweight bodywork is special order Mercedes-Benz ‘Alubeam Silver’ paint, as used on the AMG GT sports car. A combination of Alcantara and leather can be found inside, and the soft top roof has never been used.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427

It would not be a true collector car auction without the promise of a classic Corvette. Coming soon to Collectors Xchange is this unrestored C2 Corvette, powered by a 427-cubic inch V-8.

Key options picked for this car include a four-speed close-ratio manual transmission, power brakes, and a Positraction rear end. A red interior matches the Rally Red paintwork, with the dashboard still featuring the original dealership tag for the radio.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427

What really makes this Corvette impressive is that it has covered just 28,000 miles from new. In well-preserved condition, the C2 retains its original window sticker and trim tags.

The Corvette has been awarded ‘Bloomington Gold Survivor’ certification, which means more than 75% of the car is still original and unrestored. Adding to the trophy haul is Top Flight status from the NCRS.

1929 Ford Model A Custom

For those wanting something a little different, this custom Ford hot rod could be a winner. Fabricated by Craig Rodsmith, and known as ‘Metal Mistress’, the level of craftsmanship found in the car was praised during its Collectors Xchange inspection.

A 409-cubic inch V-8 engine adds a different twist compared to the 350-cubic inch Chevy engine found in many hot rod builds. A GM Powerglide automatic transmission is responsible for shifting gears.

1929 Ford Model A Custom

Craig Rodsmith is known for building custom motorcycles, and has used his talents to create a truly bespoke hot rod. The frame itself is watertight to act as a radiator tank, with the interior packed with custom touches.

An appraisal in December 2020 gave an estimated value of more than $80,000 for this bespoke build.

1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R

If you missed out on the chance to buy a new Mustang SVT Cobra R back in 1995, this upcoming auction offers a true timewarp opportunity. The 38th Cobra R built from the production run of 250, this example has been driven for only 320 miles.

Created in response to customer demand, the Cobra R gained a larger 5.8-liter V-8 compared to the regular SVT Cobra. This increased output to 300 horsepower, with a fiberglass hood, stripped-out interior, and a larger fuel tank added.

1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R

Like every SVT Cobra R, this example is finished in white with a saddle-colored interior.

The seller notes that the car was not even prepared by the original dealership. This means all the original protective coverings can be found inside, making it appear like it has literally just left the production line.

A Ford certificate of authenticity is supplied with this modern classic Mustang.

2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS 35th Anniversary

The fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is into collector car territory now, and what better version to pick than the 35th Anniversary special edition. Celebrating 35 years of the Camaro, Chevrolet planned just 3,000 examples for the United States.

To help with proceedings, Chevrolet increased the performance from the 5.7-liter V-8 engine, with 325 horsepower on offer. This particular car is noted as being one of 789 convertible models fitted with an automatic transmission.

2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS 35th Anniversary

Like many of the cars featured here, the mileage is low at 1,623 miles. This is supported by the included Carfax report, which also confirms that the Camaro has had just one owner from new.

To complete the ownership picture, a GM ‘Certificate of Adoption’ from the factory in Quebec, Canada, is included.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SLP ZL550

Offered as a limited-edition version of the then new fifth-generation Camaro, the SLP ZL550 gained big power and a host of extra upgrades.

SLP added a supercharged to the 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 engine, resulting in 550 horsepower. However, this particular example has seen further work performed, pushing the output all the way to 650 horsepower with 91+ octane fuel. Brembo brakes and performance suspension were also installed.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SLP ZL550

Part of the work undertaken by SLP included transforming the color of the Camaro to Black Cherry, and fitting the extensive aero kit. The interior also benefits from custom Katzin leather upholstery with houndstooth inserts.

Noted as being the final SLP ZL550 model produced, the odometer for this car shows only 530 miles. For the keen Camaro enthusiast, such big power and little use should prove to be attractive when the auction goes live.

2012 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350

Launched at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show, 2012-model year Shelby GT350s were built to commemorate the original model from 1965. The option of a convertible version was the first time a drop-top Shelby GT350 had been offered since 1970.

The 5.0-liter V-8 engine gained a Whipple supercharger, resulting in a substantial 525 horsepower. A high-performance cooling package, upgraded Wilwood brake, and Eibach suspension were added, too.

2012 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350

Each completed Shelby GT350 gained a serialized dashboard plaque, and this car wears the optional convertible light bar. As with any good Shelby Mustang heading for auction, the dashboard has been signed by the late Carroll Shelby.

Stored in a garage when not in use, and with minimal mileage, this Mustang will have considerable appeal to Ford fans.
