$7M Monday: Not Bad for the Slowest Day of the Week
PLUS: The rarest Ferrari of the week wasn’t red, wasn’t a supercar—and wasn’t ever sold in the U.S.
The Daily Vroom
Good morning Vroomers,
Mondays are usually slow. Longtime readers know the drill. But yesterday, just over $7 million in online auction sales — that’s $2M above the usual Monday slump.
Here’s where the action happened:

Below are the top five makes sold yesterday, shown as a percentage of total vehicle sales. No surprise seeing Porsche at the top. But looked at another way, 82% of everything that sold wasn’t a Porsche. Perspective matters.


MARKET LEADERBOARD
💰 The figures shared below don’t count any other sales such as car seats, memorabilia etc… All online auction sites are analyzed to put this leaderboard together.
I only include websites that have sold 5+ vehicles in the chart below.

Sale of the Day
You never see these in the U.S. Not really.
This Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 “Interim” is one of those blink-and-you-miss-it Ferraris—only 124 built, bridging Series I and II. Quad headlights stuck around, but the big upgrades showed up: five-speed manual, top-hinged pedals, power windows, improved brakes. Quietly modernized before Series II took over. Ferrari didn’t market it. Didn’t export it. Most Americans never knew it existed.
Which is why this one (sold for €199,000) —sympathetically restored, matching numbers, clean, usable, Danish tech inspection valid through 2032—feels like such a moment. It’s not perfect. Not over-restored. Just right. Enough patina to feel honest, enough work done to feel confident. The kind of car that tells a better story than most of the six-figure gloss jobs.
And yeah, it’s not the flashiest Ferrari. But that’s the appeal. Understated elegance. V12 soundtrack. Wire wheels. Real presence.
You can keep your supercars. I’ll take this.

Auctions To Keep An Eye On
If you grew up reading Hi Performance Pontiac, this one hits. A legit time capsule from SLP’s glory days—number 43 of just 139 Firehawk 10th Anniversary cars built. Finished in black over neutral leather with a six-speed and only 3,909 miles on the clock. This thing still smells like 2001.
It’s not just rare—it’s loaded. LS1 V8 bumped to 335 horsepower, functional ram-air hood, Bilstein suspension, Firehawk-spec Ronals wrapped in Firestones, and every badge and mat exactly where it should be. The original exhaust’s been swapped for SLP’s own stainless system, and the Blackwing lid’s been replaced, which some commenters noticed—but both feel era-correct, and likely dealer-installed or SLP optional.
What makes it interesting isn’t just the mileage or spec—it’s the preservation. Original window sticker, T-top bags, docs, even the floor mats still in the bag. No stories, no drama. Just the kind of garage queen that makes fourth-gen Pontiac guys stop mid-scroll.
Now, one thing to flag: the listing shows Donnie Gould as the seller, but he’s just the Hagerty rep handling the listing. In the comments, it gets confusing—Donnie’s replying as the seller while also talking about the seller. He’s not the owner, just the go-between. Wish the platform would make more effort here. Show they actually care—not by confusing people, but by making things clearer.
As of now, bidding’s at $40k. Feels like it’s still got a little room to run. Clean, low-mile Firehawks don’t come around often—and 10th Anniversary cars like this are basically collector cheat codes.
V12 up front. Pininfarina lines. Daytona seats.
Like the Ferrari we featured earlier, these are rare to see—on the road or at auction. The last one I followed was a 6-speed that brought $210K. This isn’t that, but it’s still got presence. Nero on Nero, modular wheels, long-term ownership, and a pile of service.
Not flawless—but it’s been driven, maintained, and comes with both sets of wheels, loads of docs, and a recent clutch reading (42% used). And it's been shown—Concorso Italiano, Hillsborough, all with trophies to match.
If this stays under six figures, it’s a win.
