The team owner has elected to sell the 2024 Bathurst 1000-winning Chevrolet Camaro, as well as one of just four Mercedes-Benz AMG E63s built and raced by the squad.<\/p>\n

Both cars have been put on the market through team partner Young Timers Garage, which previously sold the Gen3 Camaro and Mustang prototypes for Supercars.<\/p>\n

Although only listed online in recent days, YTG director Shaun Baker said discussions with potential buyers of the Erebus cars are already well advanced.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetty and Barry [Ryan] gave us the opportunity last year that we may be able to do something with their collection, knowing that we had some good records,\u201d Baker told Speedcafe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve just put the cars to market, I can\u2019t disclose figures, but they\u2019re pretty serious cars with serious demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe E63 could easily go overseas because of the uniqueness of what it is. We\u2019ve got a few people we\u2019re talking to, so I can\u2019t say too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the YTG listing<\/a>, the E63 is the car that scored Erebus\u2019 first Supercars race win at Winton in 2014 in the hands of Lee Holdsworth.<\/p>\n

Klimenko\u2019s decision to part with the Mercedes and Chevrolet is somewhat of a surprise given she has retained almost all of the key cars from Erebus\u2019 history.<\/p>\n

The only E63 she has sold to date is the other race winner, which was purchased by former team sponsor Penrite Oil in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Klimenko\u2019s home garage and trophy room features the 2013 Bathurst 12 Hour-winning Mercedes SLS and the 2023 Supercars Championship-winning Coca-Cola Camaro.<\/p>\n

The final position available in the three-car space is allocated for the 2017 Bathurst 1000-winning Holden Commodore, which remains under restoration.<\/p>\n
