The NART hitting $25M? Not SOOO surprising, given that - at this price level, just like top Picassos or other fine art - the top qualified bidders don't view it as money so much as a wire transfer, and can often get in ego battles because they want to win or are enamored with singular works. What surprises me MORE is a 79 308 GTS in touched up, imperfect metallic beige hitting $60k. Nowhere near the scale of significance in terms of the investment/collector class, but VERY significant when you consider it's audience is not billionaire royals and tycoons, but $30k car collectors. This is exactly what happened in a very short span with Dinos.
166 Inter Stabilimenti Farina Coupe 037 S sold at Russo & Steele for US$ 975'000 hammer. Underbidder was from Palm Beach/FL. Marcel Massini
That was actually a surprise to me - PF Cabs seem to have held steady around that number for a few years while other, less-rare, non-convertibles have rapidly risen. There are only so many factory roadsters between 1947 and 1962 after all.
71 GTC/4 was $250k, how much did the 72 with a higher estimate go for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
wich is the most expensive car sold? The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO with $35m? The FERRARI 250 TESTA ROSSA? the $29.5M Mercedes-Benz W196 from last month?
The Mercedes W196 is the highest auction price. The $35m 250 GTO 3505 was not sold at auction. The 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder 10709 sold by RM Auctions is the highest priced Ferrari sold at auction.
I was switching back and forth between the various auctions and I thought that I saw the cut Daytona at Russo and Steele at $700,000 If that is true WOW!!
Do you think that the proceeds going to charity made it easier for the bidders to leave some cash? McLaren is...wow. Never really been a far of the car's configuration. This is just nuts for a car built in the 90's. You can't ****ing drive it anymore because of speculators. Edit: RM is slow in updating their site.
