SANTA MONICA, Calif., 22 January, 2017

Gooding & Company, the auction house acclaimed for selling the world’s most significant and valuable collector cars, continued its tradition as a market leader by realizing more than $33.4 million at the company’s 10th annual two-day Scottsdale Auctions. President David Gooding and Auctioneer Charlie Ross sold 106 of 126 lots for an 84% sales rate, which resulted in an impressive average price of $315,327 per car sold. The sale, witnessed by enthusiasts near and far, posted nine new benchmarks from Ferrari, Bugatti, Porsche and AMC. The most notable sales were the highly original 1925 Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix, which sold for a world record price of $3,300,000 and the quintessential 1965 Ferrari 500 Superfast, which sold for $2,915,000.

“Our clients understand the rare and important opportunity to own a significant car that is highly sought after, such as the three-owner 1925 Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix and the one-owner 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing,” notes David Gooding, President and Founder of Gooding & Company. “These types of cars, which are rarely seen at auction and boast incredible provenance, may not come up for sale again for many decades.”

Prewar classics attracted strong bidding from our standing-room-only crowd, as the 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Series V Grand Sport sold for $1,595,000, the 1928 Bentley 4 ½ Litre Open Sports Tourer sold for $1,100,000, as well as the 1935 Auburn 851 SC Boattail Speedster sold for $693,000. A new world auction record was set with the 1920 Stutz Series H Bearcat that sold for $451,000.

Paddles were also flying for Postwar sports cars, with the 1969 AMC AMX/3 selling for $891,000, a world record price for the AMC marque. Additional best-of-category sports cars sold included: the 2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta (sold for $1,485,000), a record price for the model, the one-owner 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing (sold for $1,457,500) and the 1964 Shelby 289 Cobra (sold for $1,100,00)
