Imagine you find yourself in some sort of really unlikely "Brewster’s Millions"-esque situation where you absolutely have to spend a certain large amount of money by, say, Aug. 19. Except you get to keep everything you buy, and you can only buy Ferraris.

Which makes this not very much like "Brewster’s Millions" at all, but work with us here -- because if you do find yourself in that scenario, RM Sotheby’s has got you covered with a baker’s dozen of Ferrari road cars spanning the years 1961 to 2011. It has dubbed this single-consigner assemblage the Performance Collection, and it's headed to the company's Monterey car week sale.

Lots of great cars are up for grabs in Monterey in August -- too many for us to fully document -- but this is something unique. From megabucks offerings like a ’61 250 GT SWB Berlinetta to a (relatively) affordable ’89 328 GTS, this is either your chance to find the car of your dreams -- assuming, of course, that your dream car is among these 13 Ferraris -- or your chance to get your ultimate Ferrari collection off to a galloping start without ever straying too far from the bidder’s bar.

Here’s the full list, along with RM Sotheby's price range predictions:

1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta – $8,500,000 – $10,000,000

1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta by Scaglietti – $2,750,000 – $3,250,000

1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT – $650,000 – $750,000

1976 Ferrari 308 GTB ‘Vetroresina’ – $175,000 – $225,000

1984 Ferrari 512 BBi – $375,000 – $450,000

1984 Ferrari 512 BBi – $275,000 – $325,000

1989 Ferrari 328 GTS – $90,000 – $120,000

1991 Ferrari F40 – $1,300,000 – $1,500,000

2005 Ferrari 575 Superamerica – $375,000 – $450,000

2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale – $275,000 – $325,000

2009 Ferrari 16M Scuderia Spider – $350,000 – $400,000

2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia $250,000 – $300,000

2011 Ferrari 599 GTO – $700,000 – $800,000

In case you were wondering, and assuming bidders really get into it and go for those high estimates, it will take $18,895,000 (plus any applicable fees) to take home the whole lot of 'em.

The relative newness of some of these cars should be a tip-off: This isn’t exactly a collection that’s heading to the auction block after decades of careful curation. Apparently, the consigner is putting a pause on their collecting activities and using the equity from these rapidly appreciating cars to pursue a business opportunity. None of the cars have competition provenance -- a good or bad thing, depending on the car and your collecting preferences -- but they’re all reportedly well-maintained examples with known histories and, in some cases, very low mileage.

Unless someone is really looking to jump-start their collection, these 13 cars will probably wind up in as many different garages. Gord Duff, RM Sotheby’s global head of auctions, says he could see a handful of buyers scooping up multiple cars, but this is more of an opportunity for bidders to fill in gaps in their existing lineup. And really, who reading this hasn’t been hunting for the perfect aluminum-bodied Dino 206 GT or that one special American market-spec F40 (2,800 miles, no reserve!)?

With the exception of a few seven- or even eight-figure outliers, Duff sees the cars in the collection appealing to “the younger generation, the new collectors looking for cars that are sub-$500,000.” The post-2000 cars are in a sort of sweet spot for investment-minded buyers: They’re thoroughly modern drivers, but they're still seeing respectable price appreciation. “The first cars I’d go after would be a 430 and a 360 … I think those cars have long legs as far as collector value goes,” he says.

And whether you plan on stashing a car away for decades or finding something you won’t be afraid to drive, there’s something for you here. Out of the two 512 BBis in the collection, for example, one has about 8,000 miles on the odometer -- and the other just 553.

These are hardly the only Ferraris that will be up for grabs in during Monterey car week, and they’re not even the only ones in the RM Sotheby’s catalog; Duff says to be on the lookout for a La Ferrari, a Daytona Spider (as well as two other Daytonas, one an ex-Harrah Collection car) and a Testarossa, for starters. The auction company is also working on a single-marque sale in Maranello in September.

But from classic tourers to 1980s wedges to a coveted hypercar and beyond, this here Performance Collection represents a pretty deep half-century cut of the Ferrari road car portfolio. The consigner, whoever he is, chose these cars well.

Performance Collection lots will kick off bidding the second evening of the sale -- that’s Saturday, Aug. 19. Except for the 1961 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta and Dino 206 GT, all of these are offered without reserve. So if you just so happen to have come into a bunch of cash and are looking to stock your own personal scuderia, Monterey is the place to be next month.
