The term “car enthusiast” is a little misleading. Every one of them that I know doesn’t just have their car(s)—they have a collection of Hot Wheels or 1:18-scale model cars or automotive memorabilia. Some enthusiasts out there even enjoy putting together Lego kits that look like their favorite cars. If you’re one of those people, get your credit card out because Lego has made the Bugatti Centodieci the newest addition to its Speed Champions line, and it’s available now.
Bugatti EB110 Supersport and Bugatti Centodieci
Consider the Bugatti Centodieci (Italian for 110) the company’s homage to one of its modern classics. From the late 1980s until the mid 1990s, Bugatti was owned by Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli. In that short time, Bugatti built the EB110 GT, a quad-turbo V12-powered hypercar with a six-speed manual, and the lighter and more powerful EB110 Supersport at a factory in Italy.
In 2022, Bugatti produced a run of 10 Centodieci models powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 and styled after the EB110 Supersport, complete with a small horseshoe-shaped front grille, a red Bugatti badge on the nose, five cooling holes on each side, and a black rear wing.
Lego’s 291-piece version of the Centodieci not only recreates its signature design elements, but the literal “kit car” also has the same color basic scheme as the final Centodieci that Bugatti made: white over a blue interior—minus the leather, of course. The included minifigure can either be put behind the wheel or used to draw more attention to the latest addition to your shelf full of car-related collectibles.
Over the last 25 years or so, I have owned 34 different 911 models, with the oldest being a 1969 911S and the newest an RS America. Within that group of cars, I have also owned a 1973 Carrera RS, a 1977 Turbo Carrera, and other higher-end air-cooled 911 cars. Of all those, there is only a single sub-model 911 that I chose to own not just once, but twice: the 1978-83 911SC.
The reason? I feel the 911SC was not only the best built, but also perfectly sums up the entire 911 experience. It is as if everything came together in that model, combining all the lessons learned with a strong engine and what is probably the ultimate development of the classic 911 chassis. The secret few people will tell you is that the SC drives just like every other 911, including the 1973 Carrera RS. I know some will disagree, but I have thousands of miles behind the wheel of both models, and that was my takeaway.
This Porsche 911 would not be considered a show car; it looks like it has been well-loved and used for years. According to the seller’s listing, they have owned this 1978 911SC for the last 32 years, since 1993 or thereabouts. This is exactly the kind of owner I want to buy a vehicle from, as they know its history.
The exterior of this SC is finished in black over a tan interior. Looking at the photos makes me think this car might still have a lot of the original paint, as it has numerous chips and other flaws. Personally, I would leave the paint alone – simply detail it as well as possible and drive it. Some modifications include a very period-type modification of a Turbo Carrera-style rear tail. Other spot-on period changes include a set of 16-inch BBS RA wheels. This wheel swap was very common in the 1980s and they look great. The seller does note there is some curb rash on the wheels, which is something worth fixing.
The interior is a mix of correct and incorrect. The door cards, rear seats, and dash all look correct and in decent shape. The front seats, while in good condition, have definitely been recovered in cloth. I am not sure if I would just leave them alone or recover them with the correct leather. The seller states the dash has a few cracks, but I can’t see them in the photos.
The engine compartment is simply that of an old 911SC. It looks like it would clean up nicely, though, and would be worth the time to make it as nice as possible. I think that the way it would look after a detail would be quite surprising.
The seller states both the engine and the transmission of this 911SC received comprehensive rebuilds and that the engine rebuild cost $22,000, which is on par with costs these days. I would want to know who did the work. Connecticut has some great air-cooled 911 shops, and if it was done by one of them you just got extra-lucky.
So what we have here, in my opinion, is the perfect air-cooled 911 to simply drive and enjoy. You can even take it to a Porsche show or two. If some know-it-all comments that it’s too bad it is so worn, ask them what their 911 looks like. Chances are they don’t have one. At that point you can just bask in the feeling of owning a legendary air-cooled 911 you can drive everywhere and every day.
These cars are truly something special, and the driving experience is unlike any other sports car in the world. Sure, you can pay six figures for a mint in-the-box super-low-mile Porsche you are afraid to drive – or you can instead buy this car, one that is likely affordable and perfectly demonstrates just what driving and owning a classic 911 is all about.
The vehicles our parents and grandparents drove are forever a part of our childhood memories. One seller on ClassicCars.com recalls riding around in the back of his grandfather’s Ford pickup on the family’s ranch in Sheffield, Texas – and he even shared a picture from back in the day showing such a ride taking place:
“Purchased new in Dallas, Texas in 1969, family-owned since,” the listing says. “Brought to Ohio in 2014 and restored in 2021. About 1,500 miles since restoration.”
According to the seller’s description, the truck’s restoration was comprehensive in both cosmetic and mechanical aspects. The Pebble Beige exterior was resprayed, but a great deal of prep work had to be done before that: the frame was straightened, the bed was repaired, and some floorboard rust was taken care of. Once the exterior was dialed in, the interior received its share of love, too. The seller added a new windshield, dash pad, headliner, fresh upholstery, upgraded carpet, three-point seat belts, and a Bluetooth stereo, which is cleverly tucked away inside the glove compartment.
Model-year 1969 slotted in the fifth generation (1967 through 1972) for the F-Series. While still robust in design, Ford promoted the truck’s heightened ride comfort. One advertisement said, “Works like a truck. Rides like a car. Know why more people pick Ford than any other pickup? Better ideas—like road-smoothing Twin-I-Beam suspension. Coil springs supply the easy going. Now add Ford’s comfortable cab, roomiest of them all.”
Under the hood, power comes from an “FE” (Ford-Edsel) 360ci V8 that has been upgraded with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and an automatic choke. Torque is transferred to the rear wheels via a BorgWarner T-18 four-speed manual transmission and a Traction-Lok limited-slip rear end. During the truck’s overhaul, it received service to the radiator, ignition, clutch, leaf springs, rear axle, and drum brakes.
Well, after a long life of ranch duty, this family-owned truck is now ready to find a new home. If you buy it, let the seller take one more ride in the bed for old times’ sake.
The asking price is $36,000 or best offer, and a car cover will be included with the sale.

The 1990s ushered in a wave of cars engineered as affordable, practical solutions for everyday motorists. Many of these vehicles were never intended to age gracefully; they were built to serve, then fade away. Yet, against all odds, some models have endured well beyond their expected lifespans, earning cult followings and defying their “disposable” reputations. Their ongoing presence on today’s roads highlights a remarkable resilience and a unique cultural legacy. For more on how these cars shaped an era, visit Hagerty’s 90s Car Profiles.
If you want to soak up the summer sun while it lasts before enjoying the cool of autumn in a sporty drop-top, check out our latest AutoHunter Spotlight vehicle: a 26,445-mile 2015 BMW Z4 sDrive35i with the visual upgrades of the Hyper Orange Package and the M Sport Package’s cosmetic and performance enhancements. If you win the auction, it’ll come to you from a private seller in Ohio with owner’s manuals, two key fobs, clean CARFAX report, and clear title.
Whether you take this Z4 on back roads or the highway, people are going to see you enjoying the wind in your hair thanks to its eye-catching Valencia Orange Metallic paint and matching power-retractable hardtop. The M Sport Package makes the Z4 even more distinctive by adding an Aerodynamic kit with unique front and rear styling, as well as a set of attractive 19-inch Style 296 wheels, which are wrapped in 225/35 (front) and 255/30 (rear) Falken Azenis rubber.
There’s more M Sport Package content inside. In fact, you’ll see some of it before you even sit down because the package includes M-badged door sill plates and an M-badged dead pedal. Once you and your passenger get seated, you’ll be in specially bolstered sport seats. That leather-wrapped steering wheel? You can thank the M Sport Package for that too. The same goes for the Adaptive M Suspension, which you can adjust (along with the throttle response, steering, and gearshifts) using the buttons for the Driving Dynamics Control system.
In addition to comfort and convenience features such as cruise control, paddle shifters, an infotainment system with navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated seats, there’s more orange all around the cockpit, courtesy of the Hyper Orange Package. That includes Black Alcantara and leather seats with Orange accents and Orange Alcantara door panel inserts. Metal Weave trim highlights the lighting and HVAC controls while adding a different texture to the cabin.
Once you get on your favorite road, you can blast down it using the twin-turbo 3.0-liter I6’s 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. If you nail your launch and keep your right foot down, you should be able to get from a dead stop to 60 mph in about five seconds flat. Another benefit of the M Sport Package is that it raises the top speed from 130 to 155 mph, although we don’t recommend or condone trying to reach that on public roads.
However, we do strongly suggest that you bid on this 2015 BMW Z4 sDrive35i. The auction ends at 11:15 a.m. (PDT) on Thursday, August 7, 2025. Orange you glad we told you?
