Nicolas and Lee Begovich – Deputy Chairman of Hughes Aircraft, have generously donated 15 classic sports cars from the 1950s to now, with an estimated value of at least $10 million to CSUF. These cars were mostly purchased directly from the factory and have been preserved in excellent condition since then.
Among the 15 donated cars, the rarest one is the pair of Pegaso Z-102 coupe/cabriolet from 1953, with only 84 of this type ever produced. It is powered by a 2.8L V8 engine that delivers 168 horsepower and 216 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
In addition to the Pegaso Z-102, the collection also includes other iconic models such as the 1952 Jaguar XK120, 1956 Porsche Speedster 1600 Super, 1956 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale, and 1964 Porsche 904 GTS.
The Lamborghini Miura 1969 and Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 1975 are truly the highlights of the collection. The ATS 1966, Maserati Bora 1974, and De Tomaso 1973 represent the last European models in the collection. The only two North American models are the 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder and the 1970 Camaro SS.
The donated cars will be auctioned off by a third-party authorized by CSUF, with the proceeds going towards supporting student research and improving the university’s infrastructure, including the development of a state-of-the-art laboratory.
