There’s an old adage in racing: Win on Sunday, sell on Monday. That was great back in the days when , but it’s a harder sell in these times of race cars . If only you could go buy the actual car you’re seeing on the race track, and do so at the absolute highest levels of motorsport. Well, friend, now you can.

Provided, of course that you don’t mind if you can’t drive it. Alfa Romeo is selling , the very same model used to reveal its latest black-and-red racing livery to the world. Even better, it won’t cost you a full $135 million cost cap — the current bid is just over $100,000.

Sure, this F1 car isn’t technically a car. It has no powertrain, meaning you’ll have to push it to your next Cars and Coffee. Or, you could mount a behind that cockpit and maybe make yourself a (likely very slow) new track toy. It might be a little more complicated than that, but, I’m just saying, it’s an option.

Of course, if you aren’t looking for securing one of the world’s fastest track toys, the chassis would also make a damn fine piece of art. It’s forged in carbon fiber, bringing the weight down to a mere 1,200 pounds, and bears the exact livery of this year’s Alfa Romeo racers. Sure, it may not be as interesting as last year’s livery, but are you going to stand there with a straight face and tell me this car looks bad?

This show car chassis may not kickstart your Formula 1 career, but it’s a hell of a way to show your interest in the sport — no one you invite over for dinner is going to not notice the giant red race car sitting in your living room.

Mother Of God, A Porsche 996 911 Just Sold For $1.2 Million
Porsche’s 996-generation 911 is supposed to be the cheapest way to get into the brand’s rear-engined flagship model, right? I mean, it’s . That could change, though, if the recent $1.2 million sale of the is any kind of bellwether. To be fair, the Classic Club Coupe is no...

The Cleanest Saturn Coupe You’ve Probably Ever Seen Just Sold On Bring A Trailer
The Cleanest Saturn Coupe You’ve Probably Ever Seen Just Sold On Bring A Trailer
While Saturn became nothing but a conduit for cars to make their way to the U.S. in its final years, its earlier cars were interesting. Many of those cars from the early 1990s and 2000s are long since off the road and you’d be hard-pressed to find a clean...

The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming Back To America
The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming Back To America
When in the States, we were crestfallen. Heartbroken. We wondered how we’d retain the will to live in a world without God’s favorite 4x4 available on our shores. For decades, we’d loved the world’s best SUV as a trusted friend, and suddenly — like a blue sky turned cloudy...

At $18,995, Is This 1987 Porsche 928 S4 A Diamond In The Rough?
The ad for today’s 928 plays up the model’s Hollywood connection, even noting this car’s appearance in an upcoming TV show. Let’s see if its price means it’s ready for its close-up. A few of you were offended by last Friday’s . Most of that derision was focused on...

Demand, Markups, And (Still) The Chip Shortage Are Why You Probably Haven't See The New Z On The Road Yet
Since the debut of the new , I think I’ve seen a grand total of two on the street. If you’re like me and wondering just when and where you would see one of these things, I may have found an answer. And it’s an unfortunate combination of demand,...

At $12,500, Is This 1997 Chevy K1500 Silverado Pure Gold?
While not as commodious as most pickups that are kicking around, today’s K1500’s step-side bed and standard cab certainly offer a tidier appearance and easier parkability. Let’s see if it’s easier on the wallet too. They say the devil’s in the details, and when it comes to complex and...
