The Monterey auctions have come and gone and as the dust settles we take a look at the results. All eyes were on the RM Sotheby's sale, which featured the highly anticipated Ferrari 250 GTO. As expected, it changed hands for a world record smashing $48 million. Also contributing considerably to the $157 total were the Aston Martin DP215 and Ford GT40 Mk2 that sold for $21.5 and $9.8 million respectively.
The $116 million Gooding Pebble Beach Auctions were headlined by the magnificent Duesenberg SSJ that sold for twice the estimate at $22 million. Perhaps the most desirable of all Duesenbergs, this SSJ was originally owned by Gary Cooper and was offered on the market for the first time since 1949. Also doing remarkably well was the Porsche RS Spyder that found a new owner for $4.5 million.
Bonhams kicked off the auction with the one-day Quail Lodge Auction. Close to $38 million worth of machinery changed hands with the sale topped by this fabulous Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Competizione at $3.5 million and the Mercedes-Benz we featured last week at $3.2 million.
