"Perhaps the rarest and most expensive car in history will be sold at auction in Paris. Collectors have it valued at $10 to $15 million. The car, one of two remaining original Type D racing cars from Auto Union dating from 1939, will be sold by Christie's in Paris and the international buzz is deafening. Only a few people in the world have the means to capture this rare car, and all are keeping their identities secret. As the story plays out in the world press, rumors surface that put the car and its true origins in jeopardy.

Also at auction is a family treasure: a 1964 Ferrari Superfast. Only 36 were produced. Originally owned by a family in Delaware, the car was sold in 1982 for $28,000. Now the original owner is willing to spend whatever it takes to get his Ferrari back.
