A wall-to-wall crowd watched the company’s Friday and Saturday sales as some of the most highly
anticipated cars of Scottsdale’s Auto Week crossed the auction block, with the 1995 Ferrari F50 reaching the
highest price sold at $3,222,500, which also became the most valuable car sold at the weekend. The
Prancing Horse marque commanded both auction days, representing four of Gooding & Company’s top ten
sales. Gooding & Company also attained a new world-record for the 1970 Porsche 914/6 GT, smashing the
previous record for a 914 by achieving a final price of $995,000.
A thrilling surprise of the weekend came from Friday’s sale of the 1937 BMW 328. This prewar car with no
reserve became one of the most exciting lots sold during the weekend, with enthusiastic bidding ultimately
ending in a final price of $830,000. The 328 came from a remarkable 75 years of single-family ownership.
Saturday saw a lengthy bidding war for several other collector masterpieces such as the 1932 Hispano-Suiza
J12 selling for a world auction record $2,425,000, the incredibly original 1948 Tucker 48 which sold for
$2,040,000, and the 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS, which sold for $1,985,000. Additional highlights from Gooding &
Company’s sale included the striking 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider (sold for $1,930,000), the 1969
Lamborghini Miura P400 S (sold for $1,242,500), and the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II (sold
for a new world auction record price of $434,000).
“I am thrilled and so proud of our sales team for gathering such a wonderful consignment selection which led
to strong results and the top sale of the weekend,” states President and Founder David Gooding. “We look
forward to all of the exciting auctions on the horizon with our annual Amelia Island sale in March, as well as
our first bespoke London auction in April.”
