Dana Mecum’s 39th Original Spring Classic opened this morning at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. The nine-day run through May 16 is shaping up to be the most consequential exotic auction of the spring — and the headliners aren’t subtle. A 2003 Ferrari Enzo and a 2014 LaFerrari, both at no reserve, both crossing the block Saturday on the final day of the sale.
The Enzo — One Configuration, One Car
Lot R703 isn’t just another Enzo. Of the 399 produced, six were finished in Grigio Titanio. Of those six, exactly one was paired with a Pelle Rosso interior. This is that car. Factory build began December 12, 2003, concluded April 30, 2004, and the car was then delivered new to Ferrari 250 GTO collector Chip Connor. It carries 3,025 miles, full Ferrari Classiche certification, and the Red Book. The unique spec is documented in Winston Goodfellow’s Ferrari Hypercars: The Inside Story of Maranello’s Fastest, Rarest Road Cars.
The market context is hard to ignore. At Mecum Scottsdale in January, two Enzos sold for $17.9 million and $11.1 million — records that sent the model’s values vertical. Hagerty’s HPG data makes the trajectory clear:
“Both of the aforementioned cars were particularly unique, and while this one isn’t quite as flashy as those two, don’t be surprised if this one pulls an eye-popping result when the gavel drops. Last quarter alone, our HPG data showed that Enzo values jumped by over 100%, thanks in part to sales like the two cars from Kissimmee.”
This car has a paper trail. A $3.75 million online sale in 2021, $4.075 million at Monterey in 2023, $4.295 million in Toronto in 2024. The no-reserve designation hands the ceiling entirely to the bidders on Saturday.
The LaFerrari — 56 Miles, No Reserve
Lot R702 is a delivery-mileage 2014 LaFerrari. Fifty-six miles on the odometer. Black over black, US specification — one of 120 US-market cars among the 499 coupes built globally. The Ferrari Yellow Book accompanies it. The hybrid HY-KERS system mated to the 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V-12 produces a factory-rated 949 horsepower, and like the Enzo beside it in the lineup, it carries no reserve. For context: a 2017 LaFerrari Aperta brought $11 million at Kissimmee in January, nearly twice its Monterey result from the prior year.
The American Alternative — Saleen S7
Scheduled for Thursday, May 15, this Saleen S7 is described as a one-off example finished in Speedlab silver over black leather. Under the bodywork sits a naturally aspirated 7.0-liter all-aluminum V-8 — purpose-built for this car, not pulled from a Ford parts shelf — rated at 575 horsepower and 575 lb-ft through a six-speed manual transaxle. A certificate of authenticity and original window sticker are included. Only 78 S7s were built across the model’s entire production run.
A 547-mile example sold for $885,000 at RM Sotheby’s Miami in February 2026. The market average per Classic.com sits at $752,639. Hagerty frames the value proposition plainly:
“The Saleen S7 wasn’t as prolific as the Enzo or the Porsche Carrera GT, but this slinky monster still packed a particular punch that can be had for much less than either the Ferrari or the Porsche.”
American Muscle — ZL1 No. 2 and the Hemi Challenger
Serial number N569359 is the second ZL1 built — one of 69 ever produced. It was delivered to Fred Gibb Chevrolet in LaHarpe, Illinois, on New Year’s Eve 1968, alongside the No. 1 car. The shipping invoice reads: “Ship 1230 Estes Red Hot Pilot 427 Engine 9560BA.” Both cars were subsequently sent to Dick Harrell Performance Center in Kansas City, prepped for the Winternationals in Phoenix. This example is understood to be the first ZL1 sold to a private buyer.
Gibb specified Dusk Blue with a 12-bolt Positraction rear, power front disc brakes, and a high-rise aluminum 427 with a Holley four-barrel. The original engine has since been replaced with a Winters-cast ZL1 unit rebuilt by Conrad Racing Engines, dyno-verified at 550 horsepower. Mecum estimates $800,000–$1,000,000.
Rounding out the muscle contingent: a 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger R/T SE — one of just 59 produced in that configuration — alongside The Exemplar Collection, a trio of original, unrestored 1965 Corvette Coupes.
The M Group Collection — 41 Cars, One Day
All 41 cars in the M Group Collection cross the block Saturday, May 16. Nine Ferraris, thirteen European performance vehicles, nineteen American muscle and modern performance cars. Nearly everything sells at no reserve — with one exception. The last Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder built carries a reserve. Other highlights from the M Group include a one-of-30 1995 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport and a one-of-213 1991 Ferrari F40.
