Wanna Buy Adam Carolla’s Lambos?

Despite his name, Adam Carolla actually loves interesting cars and his collection is pretty spectacular. Unfortunately, it recently became a little too spectacular, and now the comedian has to sell a pair of Lamborghinis.

Carolla recently purchased Paul Newman’s Porsche 935 for $4.4 million. The price, according to Jalopnik, was above budget and to make up for it he’s selling a pair of Lamborghinis at the RM Sotheby’s Amelia Island auction next week.

The first Lambo is this gorgeous 1965 350 GT by Touring. Featured in a predictably nonsensical Gucci commercial (directed by James Franco, in case we hadn’t dropped enough names already), this unrestored beauty only has 37,300 carefully driven miles on the odometer.

One of only 120 built, the 350 GT was created by a dream team of Italian craftsmen, among them Giotto Bizzarini, Franco Scaglione, and Gian Paolo Dallara. As a result, the 350 GT is, to put it mildly, sought after. Pre-auction estimates are in the neighborhood of $600,000 to $750,000.

Carolla really emptied out his wallet, though, so along with the 350 GT, he’s also selling 1969 Islero 400 GT. Compared to 350, Isleros are positively common as the enormous sum 125 were built.

The Islero was the evolution of the 350 GT, and as a result was endowed with Lamborghini’s famous V12 engine.

Because of its comparative lack of rarity, though, the Islero is expected to go for less than the 350 GT. Just $250,000 to $300,000 should get you behind the wheel of this raging bull.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
