One of just 1,113 DB4s produced, the four-seat coupe is largely original, save for the new engine and paint job it appears to have picked up prior to its trip east. Its 3.7-liter inline six was rated at 240 hp when new, and the car features a 4-speed transmission with Laycock Overdrive, disc brakes and “knock-off” wire wheels.

Worldwide Auctioneers will be pushing the car across the block at its Scottsdale, Ariz., event on January 18, and estimates that it will sell for somewhere in the $375,000 - $475,000 range. If that sounds like a lot for a derelict, the Hagerty Price Guide says that it could be worth at $2.5 million or more when fully restored.

Or if you don't want to go to the trouble, you could buy a brand new one from Aston Martin, which is producing 25 continuation cars next year for about $1.9 million each.

I think I'd rather pay a ridiculous sum for one of the new ones if I had more money than I knew what to do with.
