The firm
Sabas Management is a private investment manager for collector cars, founded in 2026 by Sam Szapiro with Dov Szapiro and John Reisman.
The firm buys the rare, closed-run halo cars of 1980 to 2010, holds them for the long term and sells them when the market is right, not when a calendar says so. Each car is bought on the evidence of its own sales record, valued every year by an outside appraiser, kept under the fund’s title in insured, climate-controlled custody, and serviced on the factory schedule.
The partners are at Kissimmee in January, Amelia Island in March, Villa d’Este in May, Monterey in August and London in the autumn. The rest of the year, New York, Miami and Naples.
