I was on my second PBJ & Bacon Burger at Rehab Burger Therapy on 2nd Street in Scottsdale, Arizona, not far from Scottsdale Fashion Square where Dave Gooding is having his auction in a few weeks.
Anyway, while I was contemplating the giant flip-flop (thong), I thought: "By now you will be sick and tired of reading about Ferraris, Lambos, Porkers and McLarens selling for silly money. I know you want me to find you some hidden gems."
Nothing is more pedestrian than a Toyota. But the good folks at RM Sotheby's have a 1967 Toyota 2000 GT just for you. There were only 351 of these sports cars built and only 260 are left. Today this original colour, matching numbers, low mileage, Crown-engined two seater will cost you north of $2m.
Also at RM is a 1968 Intermeccanica Italia Spyder. Not the best known marque but a beautiful Canadian, Hungarian, Czech, Italian, American auto mash-up. Hungarian-born Frank and Czech-born Paula Reisner left the northern US (Canada) and set up business in Turin (Italy) in 1957.
