The star of Saturday’s auction, the 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C, also set a new world auction record for the model
when it garnered $14,520,000 - the highest price achieved for the celebrated marque across all auction
houses this week. One of only 12 ever built, this unrivaled offering is the ultimate evolution of the single-cam
Ferrari Berlinetta and its world record price illustrated the car’s historical significance.
“In addition to the many record prices achieved, our auctions have demonstrated that cars of the highest
quality and from long-term ownership continue to be in high demand,” notes David Gooding, President and
Founder of Gooding & Company. “We certainly feel our new earlier schedule proved to be a winner for both
buyers and sellers at our event.”
The marquee was packed, and viewers from over 60 nations tuned in via the company’s live HD webcast to
witness the spirited bidding overseen by renowned auctioneer Charlie Ross. Mr. Ross’ captivating style added
to the drama as bidders competed for the exceptional lots from Maserati, BMW, Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz.
These included the stunning 1956 Maserati A6G/54 that generated a world record price of $4,400,000, the
impeccable 1958 BMW 507 Series II that garnered a world record price of $2,750,000, and the 1926
Mercedes 24/100/140 Phaeton that delivered a lengthy bidding war until it hammered for a record price and
nearly double the estimate with a sale price of $726,000. Modern supercars continued to be in demand as the
2015 Ferrari LaFerrari sold for $3,520,000. Also, demand for highly original cars continued to climb, as
witnessed by the pair of 300 SLs from single family ownership. The two sports cars delivered strong results,
as the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing sold for a healthy $1,677,500 and the 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300
SL Roadster sold for $1,034,000.
