Known as "the Ken Block Collection", this year the eccentric driver started to sell some of his cars and by that diminishing its collection. Now he announced that will put out for sale three legendary cars driven by himself over the years - two Fiestas and a 1986 Ford RS200. The latter is his dream car but all three are unique with beautiful background history behind them. 

The First Fiesta is the younger 2011 Ford Fiesta ST, nicknamed "GYM43" after Gymkhana III movie, recklessly driven by Block. This particular vehicle was built to promote Block's driving talent and boast its exterior body built-n a seam-welded chassis. The 2011 Fiesta delivers the impressive 600 horsepower, try to imagine the performance of this little beast.

Second Festa is the 2013 Ford Fiesta ST nicknamed "RX43" that made its appearance in both sixth and eighth Gymknaha movies and the epic Terrakhana. This Fiesta one of a kind, being the winner at the Global Rallycross with Ken Block behind the wheel. Also, the RX43 participated in the famous drag race against Lewis Hamilton's car.

The third one is the most epic. The RS 200 Evolution is part of the 200 homologation specials built-in 1986 for the Group B rallying event. Embracing the Hoonikac style, the car was tuned to deliver a shocking 700 horsepower to deliver unique performance on the race track. The model had its wheels forged, the interior customer, upgrades brought to the extensive suspension. 

If you want to see them and live in Michigan, you might go to LBI Limited's Pontiac, a Michigan showroom and if you like any of them you can attend the online dealer's website sale. Keep in mind that they might cost a little fortune.
