Steve Saleen has apparently gotten it in his mind to auction off his personal Ford GT. While we're not exactly ones to go all star-crossed over a vehicle's ownership history, this particular car is more than a plain vanilla GT with Saleen's name on the title. In fact, the car was never titled at all because it's the fifth of nine prototype vehicles built before GT production got off of the ground in 2005. The car started life dipped in yellow, but received the blue on white treatment at some later point in history.

If the paint doesn't do anything for you, the fact that the car reportedly wears a hand-built twin-screw supercharger should. Supposedly, Saleen's GT was the only of the nine prototypes to receive the blessing of forced induction. The car currently has 4,000 miles on the odometer thanks to a lengthy stint in PR and a few movie appearances in the likes of The Fast and the Furious and Rocky Balboa – that's got to be worth something, right?

If Saleen's supercar sounds like something you wouldn't mind sticking in the garage, you'll need to check out the Russo and Steele auction at Monterey this weekend.

RM Auctions always reserves its most prestigious cars for Saturday night during the Monterey car week, and this year's lineup of vehicles was one of the most impressive in recent history. No less than 14 cars broke the million dollar mark, although the highlight of the auction, a 1958 Ferrari 250 TR, failed to meet its reserve price despite a $10.7 million offer on the table. Here's a rundown of the million dollar cars at the auction:

Lot 359: 1938 Talbot-Lago T150-C Lago Speciale Teardrop Coupe – $4,620,000
Lot 351: 1954 Ferrari 375 MM Berlinetta – $4,620,000
Lot 353: 1949 Delahaye Type 175 S Roadster by Saoutchik – $3,300,000
Lot 360: 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder – $2,612,500
Lot 347: 1955 Jaguar D-Type – $2,090,000
Lot 365: 2007 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione – $1,925,000
Lot 335: 1959 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Series III Coupe – $1,760,000
Lot 345: 1933 Packard Twelve Coupe – $1,622,500
Lot 346: 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Series I Cabriolet – $1,622,500
Lot 342: 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Berlinetta – $1,567,500
Lot 341: 1933 Duesenberg SJ Riviera Phaeton – $1,430,000
Lot 349: 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C Alloy Berlinetta – $1,155,000
Lot 339: 1966 Ferrari 500 Superfast – $1,127,500

Finally, after years and years of stagnation and painfully slow sales, small cars are starting to take a foothold in the United States. Or are they? While conventional wisdom makes us believe that Americans are ready to take the downsizing plunge in the face of – or at least the threat of – high fuel prices and environmental concerns (we're all still watching the Gulf Coast, right?), it seems that reality may once again set us straight.

Automotive sales watchdog Autodata has found that the gas-swilling large SUV segment is growing at a faster pace than the America's small car segment. Like statistics? Here we go: With a 19-percent jump over the first six months of 2010, large SUV sales have outpaced small cars (14 percent). Critically, they've also outpaced the overall market (17 percent).

Now, before we get our feathers riled up too much, realize that sales of large SUVs still lag way behind small cars – 974,000 to 121,000 through the first half of the year. Further, large crossovers like the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Flex, GMC Acadia and Lincoln MKT are included in those figures right alongside traditional behemoths like the Chevy Tahoe, Ford Expedition, Infiniti QX56 and Toyota Sequoia.

We also expect that small car sales will continue to climb with new models coming to market, such as the upcoming Ford Fiesta, Mazda2 and Hyundai's Accent and Elantra. That said, there's always going to be a demand for large and powerful SUVs that can haul people and stuff while towing a boat or camper in cool, air-conditioned comfort, and automakers will be only too happy to provide the thick-margined vehicles for their consumption. For better or for worse.

When you’ve got a whole barrel full of money, that is, when you’re completely rich, you have the luxury of choosing your own ultra-fabulous car. And when you do, you want not only a beautiful interior and exterior, not only do you want a fabulously running car, you want it to say something! I don’t mean like knightrider, no, I mean you want it to be an expression of who YOU are. This is the Bentley “Jeckyll and Hyde.”

Be you evil? Be you nice? Be you a monster? Be you a professor of speed?

Designer Bora Kim didn’t just want one car. Thustly, there are two. This Jeckyll and Hyde concept goes along the lines of what Kim predicts will be the next wave of high-class cars – “Eco Luxury.” That being conscious of how what you’re purchasing is effecting the environment you’re going to drive it in. It’s just smart, yes?

The Jeckyll and Hyde differentiates itself from the eco-car movement a slight bit because it is meant to be “luxury.” Thus it aims to combine Art and Philosophy. This is meant to come out in the aesthetics of the car. The waves, the whooshes, the loveliness.

The car’s working bits! They are this: power generated from solar, wind, and electric sources. A moving surface which, like a sunflower, aims itself toward the largest sunlight source. When wind power is easier to access, it turns to that. The technology isn’t quite all there yet, but the idea in this concept is to change the minds of those with the cash first. Investing in technological breakthroughs in ecological safety methods is the new black.

Investing in intelligence, not size and material.

Be you a lover of the darkness or of the light, all your green functions are yours to ride with. Both Jeckyl AND Hyde save the world with their wind power generators and flexible solar panels, for they are one, and when the root of all evil (cash money) is turned into planet-helping functions, the good shines through.

Designer: Bora Kim

Attending police or government auctions can literally save you thousands of dollars. Knowing where to go, what they sell and how to bid can be hard, but luckily there are a few great websites around to help you out.

http://deaauctions.com

An excellent site, very comprehensive, and you can gain a lot of information before you even have to pay to join up.

www.propertyroom.com

A brilliant site, run in part by some ex-Police, selling items on behalf of Police and government departments. Registration is free, and you can bid on anything from demolition hammers to diamond earrings, coins to cameras.

www.stealitback.com

A service offered by propertyroom.com that is dedicated to matching property to its rightful owners. Just register your property's identification, and if it's around, you'll find out so it can be returned to you.

http://www.seizedpropertyauctions.com

Another site devoted to auctioning off property from government agencies and Police departments. They also auction property from liquidations, and deceased estates. Registration is free.

The most obvious resource for government auctions is www.usa.gov. You can search hundreds of sites for government department auctions. Just type in auction at the search function at the top of the home page, and you'll have pages of sites to search.

http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/

The official government site for auctions, and is very comprehensive. Here you can bid on everything from combat boots to conveyer toasters. You must register to bid, and registration is free. They will ask for your credit card details, though, for verification purposes.

Buyer Beware!

There are a few websites out there that require you to pay in order to get the information they contain. In actual fact, if you are willing to sit for a while and research, you can find plenty of sites that give lists of auction sites. Furthermore, government sites offer the information for free anyway. It just takes some time – what's the point of a bargain from a Government or Police auction when you pay to find out about it?

My extensive quest for the perfect used car landed me in dozens of places. While scouring metro Atlanta, I realized just how difficult it is to try to find a decent used car. While there are literally hundreds of used car lots in Atlanta, many of them leave a lot to be desired in terms of reliability and good business practices. However, over the years Lemon Laws have tightened up. And consumers are even more vigilant about obtaining better customer service. With this in mind, I sat down at my trusty computer and began my search.

1. CRAIGSLIST – The craze of Craigslist, an open community website originating in San Francisco, has lent itself to all sorts of interesting transactions. I started combing this website in the hopes of finding someone local who was willing to sell their “baby” for a good price. With the ads on Craigslist being quite free-form, I was able to determine which sellers were really serious about releasing their cars into willing hands. I was also met with a lot of flukes.

This is a great website for locating private sellers who might ordinarily never be found via a newspaper ad. In searching for a decent used Volvo, I met two separate individuals who were attempting to unload their 1989 Volvos. Both gentlemen posted pictures of their cars on the site, along with an in-depth description of all the cars’ inner workings. The bad news was that upon seeing the vehicles in person, I realize that neither of their cars was up to my particular standards. The good news is that I recognized that Craigslist is in fact, a valid source for locating all sorts of sales. My suggestion is that if you’re going to use Craigslist as your main method of finding a used car, make sure that you comb the ads very thoroughly, and make notes about the vehicles you intend to check out. It also doesn’t hurt to have a mechanic on hand to look at the cars with you.

2. CAR AUCTIONS – For approximately $30, I purchased online access to a network which divulges the locations and inventory of used cars which are being sold at auctions. When I found out that I could literally purchase a car for just $500, I was hooked on the notion of auctions. But the deeper I delved into the intricate world of auctioneering, the more I understood how “un-cut and un-dry” the process really is. First of all, there are several auctions all throughout the state of Georgia. Many of them are police auctions; some are general ones. The trick to purchasing a good car at an auction is essentially the timing.

Many of the auctions take place in the mornings in the middle of the work week (many on Tuesdays and Thursdays.) Unless you have an extremely flexible schedule (and a way to get the car home), shopping at auctions can be a little tricky. Furthermore, even if you happen to make it to the auction, there is still the question of quality. Some auctions actually present their inventory on websites for potential customers to peruse. But upon arriving at the sale location, one may find that the actual condition of the vehicle is much less than favorable—in which case, you’ve got to start all over.

Another caveat to purchasing a car at an auction is the competition. Used car dealers have nothing but time and flexibility on their hands. Many also have a mechanic staff capable of whipping a car back into shape. These people, in addition to other hungry car seekers, are your competition. Therefore, aligning all these obstacles may prove to be time-consuming, and more of a headache than planned.

3. Consumer’s Choice – MARIETTA, GA – This used car dealership, located off Lower Roswell Road in Marietta, is a decent place to purchase a used car. The car lot is very small, but offers a rather acceptable inventory of standard-looking vehicles. A used Honda civic could be priced anywhere from $2000 to $7000 depending upon the condition, year, and mileage. This dealership is run by a woman (whom I have noticed make great sales personnel), who is extremely honest about the inventory. On one occasion, I asked about a very smart looking-fully loaded black Ford Taurus with all the trimmings. She admitted that the car had been reconditioned after the Hurricane Katrina floods. While she would have let me examine the car had I pressed her on the issue, I was grateful that she made the effort to take the “high road” (no pun intended.)

There are quite a few high-end vehicles on Consumer Choice’s lot. However, after going over the total price, along with the financing options, I realized that the higher-end vehicles were not necessarily worth the money. Considering that all cars are sold AS-IS or with just a 30-day warranty, I was not willing to take the chance on purchasing an SUV pain-in-the-neck. My advice for anyone thinking of purchasing here would be to stick to simple reliable name brand foreign cars. Check the mileage, and have a mechanic do an inspection. Most of the cars appear to be in very good working condition. But it’s always to be safe than sorry.

4. Bill Heard Chevrolet – UNION CITY, GA – Take a cruise on down Interstate 85-South, past the airport, and you’ll find yourself approaching Union City, GA. This is where you’ll discover Bill Heard Chevrolet. This is a major dealership which specializes of course, in Chevy sales. However, the used car lot is very reasonable. They often have cash specials on their fairly late model used vehicles. Prices on these used cars can range from $2000 to $9000, depending on the make and model. For a major dealership in the metro Atlanta area, these are fairly reasonable prices.

Those who are seeking financing in lieu of a cash sale are also in luck. Credit applications which typically are a huge factor with other major dealers are not so much of a caveat at Bill Heard. There is special financing available for those with no, slow, or bad credit. In some cases, the dealer is willing to work with potential customers on the amount of their down payment. With “Mom & Pop” used car lots charging poor credit customers up to 20% in interest, the major dealers are reclaiming this demographic of people by offering better deals. Be mindful, that if you’re looking for more high-end used vehicles, you’re in the wrong place. Bill Heard’s used car lot contains cars such as Cavaliers, Ford Escorts, and Kias. There are other models. But experience has revealed that the best deals are to be had on these types of cars.

5. Southeast Financial Services –BUFORD, GA – For those who are seeking a used car with a little more pizzazz, a voyage on Interstate 85 in the opposite direction (northbound) is a better option. Southeast Financial Services is located several miles outside of Atlanta in Buford, GA. This company specializes in financing for people who have less than perfect credit.

The dealership has been so successful, that the inventory has been divided into two lots. Most of the cars available are foreign or earlier model luxury cars. My visit to this dealership was quite interesting. I fell completely in love with an early model Infiniti Q-45, which was ultimately sold to a previous admirer. The good thing about Southeast Financial is that the prices are very good considering the kind of stock they have. They even have specials wherein only $700 down is required to score a really decent foreign model car. Warranties are available, and the selection is very large.

The good old fashioned “hunt and peck” method for finding a used car can be quite fruitful. But it does help to have an idea of which dealers provide the best deals. Many used car lots have tightened up the quality of the service they provide to consumers. The best thing to do is comparison shop, and then comparison shop some more. Look at the overall quality and appearance of the inventory. If many of the cars are not taken care of on the inside, you can only imagine what the inner workings must be like. Furthermore, there are car checker services which will provide bumper-to-bumper inspections on cars for a flat rate. Ultimately I was offered a deal elsewhere that I just could not pass up. However, had I passed on that opportunity, I would certainly be driving down the road in a car from one of these (5) places.

Police Auction
Posted on June 22nd, 2010 at 2:22 PM by superisforum

By J.R. Williams — jrwilliams@nvdaily.com

WINCHESTER — After watching state police fire a projectile from a remote-controlled robot, Jeffrey Jones, 12, snagged the pierced cardboard target as a souvenir.

But like many of his peers at the Kids and Cops Camp kickoff at Jim Barnett Park on Monday, his mind was on kickball.

“Lots of people like kickball,” the curly-haired rising seventh-grader said. “We're having a tournament on Friday. We lost our practice round, but we're getting better.”

Nearly 100 area children crowded the park's shelters for the first day of the weeklong camp, sponsored by the Winchester Police Department. Interest is so strong that there often is a waiting list to attend. Ninety-six children were allowed this year, up from 84 last year.

“We have such an overwhelming response,” said Winchester police Lt. Amanda Baker, one of the camp's directors. “A lot of the parents come out and support us.”

There was plenty to do on the first day and a full schedule until the camp closes on Friday.

Children ages 9-12 were split into eight teams, with two police officers and two high-school-age interns supervising each group. On Monday, campers played kickball, made flags to identify their groups, watched demonstrations and asked questions. Many children got a positive introduction to law enforcement with talks on the dangers of alcohol, gangs and peer pressure.

By the end of the week, campers will go through an obstacle course, participate in a community service project, play paintball and learn about fire and rescue.

On Monday, officers put gang paraphernalia on display and campers watched a K-9 demonstration.

“They sent the dog after a cop,” said Jonathan Keck, 12. “It was cool.”

Kenny Shillingburg, 18, returned to the camp this year for a fourth time as an intern. The recent Millbrook High School grad said it's good to see repeat attendees like Jeffrey.

“They learn how to do things right and how to interact with other people,” he said. “If they come here one year and you tell them, they're not going to grasp the concept. But we have kids who come back for three or four years. I think they should send more troubled kids here.”

Jeff Beard, 51, of Living Faith Church and Outreach Ministries on Cameron Street, had the campers' attention. He spoke of his redemption from drugs and alcohol and urged the children to make the right choices.

“If I don't put it in me, it doesn't affect me,” he told the crowd. “You can be just as cool without it. The bottom line is, bad choices bring bad results. You guys right now, you have a chance to be effective for your generation.”

A signature event each year is a community service project, which is part of today's activities. From 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., campers will participate in a car wash, bake sale and silent auction of sports memorabilia at Winchester's Shawnee Fire and Rescue Department.

Shillingburg, whose father is a Winchester police officer and was educating campers about alcohol on Monday, said he attended Kids and Cops when he was younger.

“My favorite thing I remember? My team won the kickball tournament,” he said.

Have you contemplated getting your son or daughter a car for college, well you can save thousands on a used or somewhat used vehicle at a Federal Car Auction. The majorities of individuals don’t understand or recognize how the method of getting a car at a Federal Car Auction operates, and they think that you can only get old beat up clunkers at these auctions. That is one of the lies you hear about Federal Car Auctions that is not a fact. Quite a few of these automobiles are less than a year or couple of years old. There are many benefits to buy your next car or truck from a federal car auction site and I would like to give you a few.

Why would you need to purchase a car from a car auctions? Well, first of all you save lots of money off the bluebook value of a car or truck. The second thing is the majority of the cars and trucks at auction cars site are less than five-years old in most cases.

Listed below are 5 Benefits why you should get your next car or truck from a car auction site:

Benefit Number 1: It will save you 90% off the bluebook value of a car

At a car auction site they have collected enough information and access rights to be able to let their members enjoy a multitude of the direct sources where one could locate their next car or truck with up to 90% cost savings off the book value price.

Benefit Number 2: You will get a warranty with every car you buy

In contrast to purchasing an automobile from an individual that provides simply no warranty, car auction sites will make sure your car has at least a 90 day warranty. You can also get an extended warranty for just a small cost depending on the source. But in general it’s no problem, because many repo cars are nearly brand new and with recorded service history.

Benefit Number 3: It is easy to check the VIN of the car that I like

Many auctions give you a free of charge CARFAX VIN report prior to starting bidding for your satisfaction. Or you can order a CARFAX report yourself for any vehicle.

Benefit Number 4: Cars are in good condition

Car auction sites not only take excellent pride in the servicing and maintenance of the cars or trucks, but it is also part of their business obligation to follow work safety legislation etc. You’ll discover most of the vehicles come with stamped log books, filled with service history. Also many of them are still under manufacturer’s warranty. Most cars are only 2-3 yrs old and majority has travelled between 40,000 -60,000 kms, or 25,000 – 40,000 miles.

Benefit Number 5: You understand Exactly Where the automobile came from

If a vehicle was purchased under a Federal or State government contract then it is eligible to be sold at a federal car auction.

When you think of all the different departments and levels of government across the United States, you realize just how many vehicles are up for auction. Some examples of where your new vehicle might have served include:

Federal Government

State Government

Local Councils Organizations

Police Services/departments incl. Sheriffs/Marshalls Dep.

Fire & Emergency Services

Religious Groups & other Non-profit Organizations

Universities & other Education Organizations

Hospitals & Ambulance Services

If you in the market for an additional car or truck you’ve got to consider purchasing it at a Government Car Auction. Rather than pay an inflated amount to your neighborhood car dealer, you can buy your next car or truck at a Federal Car Auction for 95% off bluebook cost.

Mr. Moore’s successor, the vastly underrated Timothy Dalton, renewed the Bond/Aston connection with a V8 Vantage coupe in “The Living Daylights.” Uncharacteristically, the Pierce Brosnan era was marked with a switch to BMWs, including a turn in “Goldeneye” in a turquoise Z3 roadster that would have been a more appropriate ride for Miss Moneypenny.

Daniel Craig marked a rebooting of the Bond franchise with “Casino Royale” so it was natural for Q-Branch to go back to Aston Martin, although aside from a glovebox-mounted defibrillator, they have been gadget-free.

Although some may argue to the contrary, borrowed cars like the Sunbeam Alpine in “Dr. No,” the red Mustang Mach One in “Diamonds Are Forever” and the Alfa Romeo GTV6 in “Octopussy” will never be accepted into the pantheon of Bond cars.

Although it is rare for a car with genuine Bond provenance to come on the market, when they do, collectors respond in a fashion the makes the auction companies smile. In 2006, RM Auctions of Ontario auctioned an Aston Martin DB5 that served as a publicity car for several Bond films. It brought over $2 million. The car that RM is selling this October in London was a genuine on-camera car in “Goldfinger” and has all of the gadgets. As such, it is expected to sell for $5 million or more (an ordinary DB5 might cost about $350,000).

The white Lotus Esprit was sold at an auction in London in 2008 for £111,500 ($167,000), fetching “only” about 10 times what a non-Bond Esprit would sell for.

Why the disparity? Several reasons are likely. Sean Connery was the first Bond and the one many consider to be the best. “Goldfinger” is among the best-loved Bond movies, and the car enjoyed a fair amount of on-screen time. The Lotus, on the other hand, appeared in the Roger Moore film “The Spy Who Loved Me,” not a bad Bond film by any means (it marked the debut of Richard Kiel as the steel-dentured Jaws), but certainly no “Goldfinger.” If Timothy Dalton’s V8 Vantage ever shows up at public auction, it could be expected to bring near what the Esprit brought even though it’s a more valuable car.

James Bond's Gadget-Laden Aston Martin DB5 Car Could Be Yours For $5m

You love James Bond as much as the next man, but $5m? Do you love Bond that much? Someone out there does—with one of the two cars driven by Sean Connery in the films now up for auction.

Connery revved the Aston Martin DB5's engines in Goldfinger and Thunderball, and has been described by the auction-house as “the world's most famous car.” It comes replete with all the gizmos Q fitted to the car to make it Bond-friendly, including a smoke screen (handy for evading parking inspectors, that), revolving number plates (great for when you pelt through a speed camera zone), a bullet-proof shield (teenagers are still throwing eggs at cars, right?), tracking device (eh, probably not as useful as Google Latitude), oil slick sprayer (a touchy subject nowadays, so perhaps forget your new car has this function) and fake machine guns. Which, err, I don't recommend you use in this day and age. Not in public, anyway.

Originally bought for $12,000 back in 1969, the $5m estimation will net the radio broadcaster-owner $4,988,000 in profits—which he plans on pumping into his self-named Jerry Lee Foundation. [Pursuitist via Reuters via Jalopnik]
