Santa Monica,20 January, 2019
Gooding & Company, the auction house known for selling the
most valuable and sought after cars, has capped off another
monumental weekend in Scottsdale, totaling over $48 million in
sales with an 85% sell rate, including the top three highest prices
realized across all auction houses. Gooding & Company has
once again proven to be an industry leader at Scottsdale in its
12th annual two-day auction by staying consistent in a market
that saw competitors with larger inventories perform below their
projections.
On a weekend that brought in crowds of aficionados, Ferraris
dominated the top of the market days with several sales in the top
ten coming from the marque, including the 1963 Ferrari 250 GT
SWB Berlinetta which sold for an astonishing $7,595,000, the
1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France selling for $5,890,000, the
1953 Ferrari 250 MM Spider Series II selling for a world-record

cars from the weekend were the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL
Gullwing (sold for $1,435,000), the 1964 Shelby 289 Cobra (sold
for $1,050,000), Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster (sold for
