Juny 16th, 2015 by Alyn Wallace
Two auction houses, RM Auctions and Gooding & Company, recently sold a large number of exotic and vintage car in the Arizona auctions to kick start the 2015 collector car season. Overall, Ferrari did extremely well claiming 8 of the 11 slots in the top 10 sale prices (two Ferraris tied for the tenth slot). Below we take a look at the top 20 most expensive cars sold, 10 from each auction house:
RM Auctions
RM Auctions generated $63,700,375 in total sales (with 10 percent buyer’s commission included on automotive lots). The auction house further touted a 90 percent sell-through rate of all lots and noted its 2015 sale reflected its strongest Arizona performance to date; the sale generated an aerate of $10 million per hour. The headline sale of RM’s sale was the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, chassis 5899 GT, which sold for $9,625,000. The Ferrari has a strong competition record and is Classiche-certified, both of which helped bidding in the room and on the phones until the gavel fell.
