The museum is refocusing on Indy 500–related cars, so Michael Schumacher's rookie F1 car and the 1965 Le Mans–winning Ferrari 250 LM are among cars up for sale.
Eleven incredibly special cars will be auctioned off by RM Sotheby's for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum starting in February 2025.Michael Schumacher's rookie season F1 car is here and isn't even close to the top of the list.The funds will go to IMS Museum improvements.It would not be an exaggeration to suggest that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is America's Vatican of speed.
Other rarities include a supercharged 1930 Bugatti Type 35, a couple of pre–World War I Mercedes , and a Ford GT40 that was campaigned at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans by Holman-Moody. With expected values approaching or exceeding the eight-figure mark, there's also the stunning 1957 Chevrolet Corvette SS XP-64, a tube-frame, magnesium-bodied endurance racer designed by Zora Arkus-Duntov to take the fight to the likes of the Jaguar D-type.
