There are nearly 12,000 collector cars in the Motorious inventory right now, and this week brought some real oddballs. A retired EPCOT double-decker bus, a Zagato-built Alfa Romeo, and a BMW 3.0 CSL owned by a former Formula 1 driver all showed up within days of each other. Here are the 10 we'd click on first. (Missed last week? Catch up here.)
No. 10: 1986 Mitsubishi Starion ESi-R — $27,995
The Starion was Mitsubishi's answer to the Supra and 300ZX, and it's still one of the best-looking wedge-era coupes Japan built. This 1986 ESi-R is a stock survivor with three Texas owners and 60,914 miles. It runs the 2.6-liter turbocharged inline-four with a five-speed manual, and it still has A/C and leather.
Clean, unmodified Starions are harder to find than you'd think, since so many were tuned hard in the '90s. Streetside Classics in Fort Worth is asking $27,995.

No. 9: 1966 Shelby Cobra Replica — In-Auction
This is a replica, built by Hurricane Motor Sports, but what's under the hood is the real thing: a 1965 Ford 427 FE side-oiler with a steel crank, aluminum heads and a Crower cam, rated at 470 hp and 530 lb-ft. It's backed by a Tremec five-speed and a Ford 9-inch rear with 5.30 gears, so it should be plenty quick.
It wears white paint with blue stripes over a blue interior and has muffled side pipes, four-wheel discs and coilovers. The seller calls it a show winner. It crosses the block at the 2026 Fall Carlisle Auction. If you like this one, this Superformance MkIII takes a more modern approach.

No. 8: 1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubble Top — $84,995
The thin-pillar "bubble top" roofline is one of the most sought-after shapes of the early '60s, and it still looks great today. This '61 Impala has been updated to drive like a modern cruiser, with a 350 V8, 700R4 overdrive automatic, power steering, Wilwood disc brakes and A/C. It shows 48,424 miles.
Plenty of these ended up closer to the crusher than this one. Streetside Classics is asking $84,995.

No. 7: 1969 Dodge Super Bee — In-Auction
Most Super Bees you see are in bright High Impact colors. This one was built on December 9, 1968, in cream with a green vinyl top and green interior, which is a rare and very '60s combination. It still has its original 383 V8, rated at 335 hp, with a four-speed manual and the Ramcharger cold-air induction.
The engine has been bored .040 over and there are some upgrades, like electronic ignition and disc brakes. The seller says it's a major Mopar award winner with extensive records. It's at the 2026 Fall Carlisle Auction. For more Bees, check out this Georgia Mopar cache.

No. 6: 1956 Austin-Healey 100-4 BN2 — In-Auction
The BN2 was the last and best of the four-cylinder Healey 100s, adding a proper four-speed gearbox in place of the BN1's three-speed. It was only built for about a year before the six-cylinder 100-Six arrived, which makes BN2s less common than you might expect.
This one is being offered by Broad Arrow Auctions in Belgium, with viewing in Waregem through mid-October ahead of Broad Arrow's Zoute sale. For comparison, here's a Spruce Green 1955 BN1 we covered earlier.

No. 5: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window — In-Auction
1963 was the only year Chevy built the Corvette coupe with a split rear window. Zora Arkus-Duntov hated it because it blocked the rear view, and it was gone for 1964. That one-year-only status is why the Split Window is one of the most collectible Corvettes ever made.
The listing doesn't have many details yet, so check back before bidding. It's crossing the block at the 2026 Fall Carlisle Auction. For a very different take, see this historic Split Window race car.

No. 4: 2023 Maserati MC20 Cielo — Live Auction
The Cielo is the convertible version of the MC20, with a retractable glass roof and the same twin-turbo 3.0-liter Nettuno V6. This one has just 538 miles and is finished in Nero Essenza over black and blue Alcantara. It has the $10,000 carbon-ceramic brakes, a $7,000 interior carbon package, an electronic limited-slip diff and a Sonus Faber stereo.
Bullet Motorsports in Dania Beach, Florida, is running it as a seven-day auction with a hidden reserve. It comes with a clean Carfax. We've also seen a low-mileage MC20 coupe from the Burnyzz collection offered without reserve.

No. 3: 1996 Alfa Romeo RZ — In-Auction
The RZ is the roadster version of the Zagato-built Alfa Romeo SZ, the car Italians nicknamed "Il Mostro" for its blocky, aggressive styling. Fewer than 300 were made, which makes the RZ even rarer than the SZ coupe. It uses Alfa's 3.0-liter V6 and was built by hand at Zagato.
This one is RZ No. 256 and shows 35,918 on the odometer. Broad Arrow Auctions is handling the sale and says more details are coming. You don't see these for sale very often.

No. 2: 1983 GMC Disney EPCOT Double Decker Bus — $124,995
This is a real Walt Disney World EPCOT Center Omnibus, one of the double-decker buses that carried guests around EPCOT in the park's early years. The design goes back to the Omnibus that Disney Legend Bob Gurr created for Disneyland in 1956. The seller says it comes with documentation confirming its Disney service before it was sold into private hands.
It runs on a GMC commercial chassis with a 4.8-liter inline-six and an automatic, and shows 13,569 miles. AutoBarn Classic Cars in Concord, North Carolina, is asking $124,995. If you like your Disney history with wheels, you'll also want to remember the Walt Disney World Speedway.

No. 1: 2023 BMW 3.0 CSL ex-Nick Heidfeld — In-Auction
BMW built just 1,000 of the modern 3.0 CSL to celebrate 50 years of M, and it paid tribute to the original 1973 "Batmobile" with a massive wing and livery to match. It has a 560-hp twin-turbo inline-six, the most powerful six-cylinder BMW had ever put in a road car, and it only came with a six-speed manual.
This is car No. 28, and it was owned by former BMW Sauber F1 driver Nick Heidfeld. It shows just 348 on the odometer. Broad Arrow Auctions is offering it. A limited-run M car with a factory driver's name attached is about as good as modern BMW provenance gets.
