Ferrari made the 250 GT Berlinetta TdF from 1956-1958, replacing it with the 250 GT SWB Berlinetta. Gooding & Company will offer a 1958 model at its Monterey auction next month, with a $5.5m-$6m pre-sale estimate.
The last surviving 1939 Porsche Type 64 streamliner in existence, Car Number 3. A car so directly linked to Porsche’s postwar sports-car and racing dynasty that no pre-sale price estimate has yet been publicly posted for it.
America’s concours elegance season began in earnest with the Amelia Island Concours d’ Elegance this past weekend. There are some surprising results, including the Top 10 auction sales at the Concours.
Last year, Gooding & Company’s Amelia Island Auction led the pack with a 95% sell-through rate and 36 million dollars in sales over one afternoon. This year, they are hoping to beat those numbers with a 91 car lineup, 9 of which have 7-figure valuations.
Headlined by the Boulton Collection, an unparalleled array of prewar cars and motoring antiques, Bonhams leads Amelia Island in automotive diversity. Their docket ranges from a Lamborghini Diablo VT to an assortment of brass era speedometers.
RM Sotheby’s Amelia Island auction is offering a 2000 550 Maranello with just 4,200 miles and a pre-sale estimate of $140k-$160k, with no reserve. That’s right in between Hagerty’s values for “Excellent” and “Concours” condition and still below the car’s original price.
The annual Scottsdale 2019 auctionpalooza came to a close on Sunday, with the seven auctions tallying $251m, the fourth highest take ever for these sales. Unsurprisingly, seven out of the top-10 sales for the week were Ferraris.
Gooding & Company will offer a triple-black roadster with a mere 350 miles from new for a pre-sale estimate of $300k-$350k, which is substantially below the car’s original $500k price tag. Coupes go for even less.
