1992 Dodge Viper RT/10 Roadster (sold for $46,200)

This 1992 Dodge Viper RT/10 is the 61st of as few as 236 examples hand-assembled from the inaugural model year. Thomas first saw the concept Viper on display when he was a 16-year-old at the New York Auto Show accompanied by his mom. Years later in 2015, this sentimental car joined the Scott Thomas Collection.

1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Custom Coupe (sold for 55,000)

Said to be one of Thomas’ all-time favorite rides, this Pro Touring-style ’67 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Resto-Mod has a 430-horsepower LS3 V8 engine, adjustable air-ride suspension and passenger amenities. Built to appreciate, yet enjoy, Thomas describes it as a “…super-reliable car that starts every time I get in, that never fails to draw looks and compliments everywhere I go. It’s a reliable, great-driving modern Resto-Mod.”

2019 McLaren Senna (sold for $946,000)

This 2019 McLaren Senna in Fire Black is a track-focused, street-legal hypercar that is powered by a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine delivering 789 horsepower and 590 ft/lbs of torque to the rear wheels. “This is a beast of a machine,” said Scott Thomas. “And I cannot understand how they can make something so fast street legal.”

2015 McLaren 650S Le Mans Edition (sold for $203,500)

Marking the 20th anniversary of its electrifying 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans win, McLaren Special Operations released a limited 50-car 650S Le Mans Edition in 2015. Of them, 46 were finished in Sarthe Grey, two in yellow, one in white and this car, the only one in McLaren Orange.

2016 McLaren 650S Sprint Race Car (sold for $126,500)

Debuted at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, this McLaren 650S Sprint car in not street legal, and was co-driven by Scott Thomas and professionals in the UK GT Cup series for 2016 and 2017, earning five podiums over nine starts.

2005 Ford GT, VIN 003 (sold for $440,000)

The serial number of this 2005 Ford GT is 003, and it is the very first Ford GT made available to the public for purchase. First owned by a Ford Motor Company executive, this 2005 Ford GT was formerly part of the renowned collection of Ron Pratte prior to joining Scott Thomas’ collection in 2015. Thomas says, “I bought this car because I wanted one with provenance, including prior ownership by Ron Pratte, who has owned some of the finest American muscle cars, in addition to this example’s irreplaceable status as the third car of the series produced and the first ever sold to the public.”

2003 Saleen S7 (sold for $467,500)

This futuristic-looking 2003 Saleen S7 is capable of hitting 224-plus mph flat-out and carries Steve Saleen’s autograph. This 2003 Saleen S7 is 03-21, denoting the 21st S7 built in 2003. As one of just 78 cars built in total, including 15 track-bound “R” Models, 03-21 is rarer still as one of four naturally-aspirated, 550hp examples equipped with the Saleen Competition Package

2013 Dodge Viper GTS, VIN 001 (sold for $220,000)

Carrying the “001” VIN suffix, this awesome 2013 SRT Viper GTS was the first car built by the men and women at Chrysler’s Conner Avenue assembly plant in Detroit.
