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.
A 356 B Roadster known as the “Twin Grille,” will be offered at the RM Sotheby’s Amelia Island Concours auction this weekend. It’s one of only 58 equipped with the highly desirable 1.6-liter Super 90 engine.
RM Sotheby’s is offering the opportunity to acquire a 1965 911 at its Amelia Island Concours sale. The car, in Aga Blue over beige, shows under 80,000 miles and has a pre-sale estimate of $210k-$250k.
RM Sotheby’s will offer a black 1994 Supra Turbo Sport Roof with 11,200 miles at its Amelia Island sale. The pre-sale estimate is $100k-$120k, or nearly three times the original list price.
After adding an 8C to your collection, consider Alfa Romeo has a new one in the works. Announced in July 2018, the next 8C will be a mid-engine supercar with a version of the Giulia Quadrifoglio’s twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 mated to a hybrid system, for a possible 700+ total horsepower.
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.
At its Scottsdale auction this month, RM Sotheby’s will offer a 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO originally sold in the U.S. but rarely driven. The car shows less than 2,900 miles after passing through the hands of several collectors. The pre-sale estimate is $3.2m-$3.6m.
Eight-figure prices for Ferraris are usually associated with Monterey or Scottsdale auctions, but the second-highest auction price for 2018, $22,000,500, went for a 1956 Ferrari 290 MM at the RM Sotheby’s Petersen Museum auction in December.
