Former John Oates–Owned Tiga SC84 Sports 2000 Race Car Offered at No Reserve

John Oates' Tiga SC84 Sports 2000 hits the block no reserve—period race car with provenance and spares

A fully sorted Tiga SC84, the single-seater that defined club-level racing in the '80s, carries documented musician ownership and arrives with logbooks, period equipment, and a spares package. No reserve means someone's walking out of this auction with legitimate race pedigree and a car that actually won—not a garage queen.

Celebrity ownership usually tanks a car's credibility with enthusiasts, but a Tiga SC84 doesn't need John Oates' name to matter—it's the real thing, and prices on sorted examples have only climbed as people realize vintage single-seaters are cheaper than resurrecting a 2JZ.

NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2026: Ray Hendrick, Mr. Modified & His Flying 11

Ray Hendrick's Hall of Fame Nod: The Man Who Proved Racing Anywhere Meant Something

Hendrick wasn't a one-series guy—he ran modifieds, short-tracks, dirt, asphalt, whatever was there. That approach to racing, the willingness to compete in anything with wheels, built a career that NASCAR finally recognized. It's the anti-specialist play that somehow became the most authentic resume in the sport.

Hall of Fame voters finally getting it right: the guys who raced everything matter more than the guys who perfected one thing.

Crown Jewel from GT40 Program: 1965 Ford GT Roadster Prototype

1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype: The One That Got Away

This isn't a GT40 coupe—it's the roadster variant that Ford shelved, now surfacing on eBay as one of the program's rarest offshoots. The mid-engine, aluminum-chassis prototype represents a fork in the road the factory never took, complete with the original 427 big-block architecture that powered Le Mans dominance. Prices for documented GT40s have crossed into seven figures; this one's provenance will determine whether it's a steal or a cautionary tale about prototype tax.

Ford had the roadster right there and chose the coupe anyway. Forty years later, collectors are paying for that decision.
