Every now and then a platform does something a little different. Rather than sprinkling special cars throughout the year, (I mean they do have some special cars during the year as well!) Car & Classic has bundled many of them into a dedicated Collector's Edition event. They've run these events before, and they've proven to be a hit, so here we are again. This weekend, the latest edition reaches its conclusion.

I've spent far longer than I'd like to admit scrolling through the catalog, and it's one of those lineups where you keep spotting another car you forgot you wanted. A Pagoda. A flat floor E-Type. Multiple Aston Martins. A pre-A 356. A Shelby GT500. A Spyker C8 Laviolette. Even a Mansory G63 6x6 if subtlety isn't really your thing.

What also caught my attention was something I probably do more than I should. I started plugging cars into the TDV Import Calculator to see what it would actually cost to land them in the United States. The answer surprised me.

Some of them still don't make financial sense once you factor in shipping, import duty, customs fees, and everything else that comes with buying overseas. But others absolutely do. A few become genuinely competitive against US market pricing, especially when you consider how much broader the selection is across Europe. It serves as a good reminder that sometimes the right car isn't sitting in your own backyard.

That doesn't mean you should blindly buy overseas. You still need to understand the market, know what you're importing, and be comfortable with the logistics. But if you've never looked beyond US listings before, events like this are a great place to start.

There are over 30 collector cars ending across the weekend, ranging from pre-war Bentleys and Delages to Ferraris, Porsches, Astons, Jaguars, and plenty of oddballs that you simply don't see come up very often. Even if you're not planning to bid, it's one of those auctions that's worth browsing with a coffee in hand.

And if, like me, you appreciate seeing these cars properly filmed rather than through auction photos alone, Chris Harris has already done the hard work. His walkthrough of the collection is excellent, beautifully shot, and well worth 20 minutes of your time before the auctions close.

If the seller's name sounds familiar, it's probably because you've seen him bring a number of Jerry Seinfeld's Porsches to market over the years. This one, however, wasn't one of them. I guess Jerry passed on it. Maybe it was a little too modified for his taste.

For everyone else, that's exactly what makes it interesting. The headline here is the genuine RUF-built five-speed conversion, installed back in 1986. That's a serious upgrade on a 930, and one that transforms how these cars drive. Pair that with the K27 turbo, larger intercooler, Fabspeed exhaust, rebuilt engine, and decades of documented maintenance, and this feels far more like a driver's Turbo than a museum piece.

Normally, I'm a sucker for originality, especially when it comes to air-cooled Porsches. But every now and then a modified car comes along where the upgrades are exactly what you'd have done yourself if cost wasn't a factor. This feels like one of those cars. The modifications weren't thrown on over a weekend. They were carried out over decades, backed by extensive records and significant investment.

Sure, it won't be everyone's cup of tea. If you're chasing concours points, keep scrolling. But if you want a 930 that's been thoughtfully improved, has one of the coolest period upgrades you could ask for, and actually begs to be driven, I'd take this over plenty of untouched examples.

Good luck finding another one of these. Better yet, try finding one that hasn't been driven into the ground or sent to the scrapyard.

Finding any Pontiac 6000 STE today is difficult enough. Finding one of the roughly 1,300 all wheel drive examples built for 1989 that's still this complete and presentable is another story altogether.

Sure, it's not flawless. The A/C needs attention, the rear shocks are due, and there are a handful of cosmetic imperfections. But that's almost beside the point. Nobody is buying this because it's concours ready. They're buying it because it's one of those forgotten performance sedans that almost disappeared from the roads.

I also like seeing a seller who clearly understands what he's got. Rather than hiding the flaws, he's documented the work, spent real money making it mechanically sound, and is upfront about what still needs doing. That's exactly what I'd want to see on a car this unusual.

If you grew up in the late '80s or early '90s, this thing will bring back memories. The digital dash, the wonderfully overstuffed seats, the body kit, and the fact that it's all wheel drive make it one of the quirkiest American sedans of the era. You can always find another Mustang or Camaro. Finding another STE AWD this honest and this complete might take you a very long time.

Would you rather own an original 1967 Shelby GT350 or one you could actually drive?That's basically the question Revology has been asking for years.

Rather than restoring old Mustangs, they build brand new ones. Same shape, same proportions, same V8 soundtrack, but underneath it's a completely different animal. You get a 460 horsepower Coyote V8, a Tremec six-speed, modern suspension, air conditioning, power steering, LED lights, a backup camera, and reliability that means you could jump in tomorrow and drive it across the country without a second thought.

I know some people hate these things, and I get it. Nothing replaces the real deal. But here's where I struggle. If you gave me the keys to a multi-million dollar Ferrari GTO or an original GT350, I'd probably spend half the drive worrying about stone chips, mileage, or whether I should even be using it. Cars like this remove that stress completely.

This one also wasn't built in someone's garage. Revology has built a reputation for obsessive attention to detail, and it shows. The fit and finish are on another level, which is why a new one will set you back well over $300,000.

Would I rather have an original? Probably.

Would I drive this ten times more? Absolutely.

That's what makes Revology so interesting. They're not trying to replace history. They're building the classic Mustang many people wish Ford still made.
