leather took the third top slot, achieving $374,000. A highly desirable, very early production 1972
Mercedes-Benz 350 SL set a new world auction record, selling for $108,900 and far surpassing its high

An exceptional, unrestored 1963 Chevrolet Corvette 327/340 Split-Window Coupe performed superbly,
yielding a figure of $335,500, the second highest price ever paid for the model at auction. The 2005 Porsche
996 Turbo S Cabriolet, offered from single ownership with limited use, also exceeded its high estimate,
selling for $126,500. Additionally, the auction house sold 100% of lots offered from The Richard Donner
Collection, presenting 10 classics from the late Hollywood filmmaker’s personal stable. Mr. Donner’s
preferred classic to drive, the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, performed exceptionally well,
and sold well above its high estimate for $121,000 after an arduous bidding war. |
