The sole 1989 RUF 928R—a genuine RUF-built model based on the Porsche 928 chassis with authentic W09 VIN—is set for Gooding & Company's Amelia Island auction on March 5 at 3 p.m. EST. Commissioned by the late Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee, this low-mileage grand tourer (1,568 miles) features RUF performance upgrades and bespoke details, with estimates of $400,000–$500,000.
A 1931 DeSoto S-13 sedan with matching blue exterior and interior is available for purchase at $35,500. The vehicle features original components like a woodgrain dash and six-volt electrical system, along with the original owner's manual. Experts note its appeal for collectors despite high mileage and maintenance needs.
