There are more than 11,700 collector cars in the Motorious inventory right now, and this week's new arrivals cover a lot of ground. A Bentley built for Queen Elizabeth II, a one-off Oldsmobile show car that sat in a dealer's collection for 47 years, and a 13-mile Demon 170 all showed up within days of each other. Here are the 10 we'd click on first.
No. 10: 1954 Citroën Traction Avant — In-Auction
Front-wheel drive, unit-body construction, and a dash-mounted shifter were radical ideas when Citroën launched the Traction Avant in 1934, and the design lasted until 1957. This 1954 four-door wears two-tone silver and maroon over a restored red-and-black interior, with a 116-cubic-inch four-cylinder and three-speed manual. The seller calls it very original and is offering it as-is.
It's crossing the block at the 2026 Fall Carlisle Auction in Pennsylvania, which makes it one of the more interesting cars you're likely to find at a Carlisle sale this fall.

No. 9: 1996 Mazda RX-7 Type RS (FD3S) — $48,995
If you like your JDM heroes loud, this FD is for you. It wears a Rocket Bunny Pandem V1 widebody and ducktail, an RE Amemiya rear bumper, a carbon hood, and 19-inch Work Emotion CR 2P wheels on Aragosta coilovers. The twin-turbo 13B-REW rotary has HKS intakes, Greddy piping and intercooler, and a Blitz blow-off valve, all hooked to a five-speed manual.
The listing is titled as a 1996 Type RS, though the seller's spec sheet describes it as a 1999 Type RB S Package with 55,637 original miles, so it's worth confirming the details with Craft Sports. We covered a modified RX-7 Type RB S Package recently if you want more background.

No. 8: 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible — $172,500
1958 was the first year the Bonneville became its own model line instead of a limited-production Star Chief, and the convertible is the one collectors want. This restored example has a 370-cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel, a Hydramatic automatic, and power steering and brakes. It's listed at Classic Auto Mall, and the seller calls it museum-worthy.
All that chrome and those jet-age lines make it one of the most over-the-top American cars of the decade.

No. 7: 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster — Inquire for Price
Early 3.8-liter Series 1 roadsters are the E-Types everyone has on their poster. This one had a multi-year, bare-metal refurbishment by marque specialists Vintage Restorations of Union Bridge and comes with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate. It's located in North Andover, Massachusetts, and offered by Silverstone Motorcars.
For a look at where later cars are trading, see this documented 1975 E-Type V12 roadster that sold for $73,125.

No. 6: 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS — $297,888
The 991.2 GT3 RS paired Porsche's 9,000-rpm, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with the most aggressive aero the 991 ever wore. This white example makes 520 horsepower through a seven-speed PDK, has Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, and shows 11,941 miles with a clean Carfax.
Crown Classics has it listed at $297,888. It's a car you can drive on the road and take to the track without changing anything.

No. 5: 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 — $174,900
The Demon 170 was Dodge's last word on the Hemi Challenger, with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 rated at 1,025 horsepower on E85. This one-owner car is finished in Destroyer Gray over black and shows just 13 miles. GR Auto Gallery has it at its Metro Detroit location.
Demon 170 values have been moving around lately. We recently looked at a 956-mile Demon 170, and this one has even fewer miles.

No. 4: 2017 Ferrari F12tdf — In-Auction
Ferrari built just 799 F12tdfs, named after the Tour de France Automobile races its 250 GT berlinettas won. The 6.3-liter V12 makes 780 CV at 8,500 rpm, and Ferrari cut about 110 kilograms, added a claimed 87 percent more downforce, and gave it rear-wheel steering. It was also the last Ferrari styled with Pininfarina.
This one, chassis 224685, was finished at Maranello in early 2017 and is going up with Broad Arrow Auctions. For more from Maranello, see the 10 coolest Ferraris on Motorious.

No. 3: 1968 Shelby GT500 KR Fastback — In-Auction
According to its Elite Marti Report, this KR is one of 96 four-speed GT500 KR fastbacks finished in Highland Green. Of those, 80 got black knit vinyl, 60 got the 3.50 Traction-Lok axle, and only two went to Jack Loftus Ford in Hinsdale, Illinois. It has the 428 Cobra Jet, a four-speed, power front discs, and the Tilt-Away wheel.
The car went through a string of Chicago-area owners and was red at one point before heading to Switzerland. It has since been returned to its original Highland Green and is being offered by Broad Arrow Auctions. Compare it with this unrestored GT500 KR barn find.

No. 2: 1968 Oldsmobile 442 "Mod Rod" Concept Car — In-Auction
This is the only one. Oldsmobile built the "Mod Rod" for the show circuit, debuting it at the 1968 Chicago Auto Show on a turntable under the banner "Old is Young." It's a bronze 442 convertible with a yellow interior, custom factory paint and trim, a numbers-matching 400 V8, a four-speed, and a factory 8-track player.
After the shows, an Oldsmobile dealer bought the car and kept it for 47 years. It's now heading to auction with GAA Classic Car Auctions in Greensboro, North Carolina. For a more traditional 442, see this numbers-matching 1971 442 convertible.

No. 1: 2016 Bentley Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase ex-Queen Elizabeth II — In-Auction
This Mulsanne is one of only two built for Queen Elizabeth II, and it's the only Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase used by the Queen to reach a private collection. Bentley's Press & Special Vehicles Department trimmed the rear cabin in Twine and Cumbrian Green leather, inlaid the Royal Coat of Arms into the Burr Walnut waistrails, and swapped the front center armrest for a custom tray sized for the Queen's Launer handbag.
When a newer Mulsanne replaced it, the car went back to Bentley in Crewe and stayed there until after the Queen's death. It's now being offered by Broad Arrow Auctions. Royal cars don't come up often; the last one we covered was the Queen's 1951 Cadillac parade convertible. For more high-end picks, see the 10 coolest luxury cars on Motorious.
