Classic (and New) Cars That Were Auctioned For Over $1 Million
Ferrari GTO 250
Price: $48 million
Auctioneer: RM Sotheby’s – Monterey, California, 2018
The most expensive car in the world also has some secretive history that accompanies it upon purchase. Ever heard of WeatherTech Mats? The high end floor mats that protect most mud-exposed vehicles such as Ford, Chevrolet, Subaru and Volvo to name a few.
Well the owner of that company recently bought a Ferrari GTO 250 and spilled the beans on all the easter eggs that come with it! Upon purchasing a Ferarri GTO 250, you’re introduced into a secret society solely composed of GTO owners. There are races that take place in various parts of Europe, open only to Ferrari GTO 250 owners, who are among the richest and most interesting men in the world. Included in this group is Ralph Lauren, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, and British billionaire Lord Anthony Bamford.
The exuberant price point is deviated from their scarcity- only 36 Ferrari GTO 250’s were ever produced, and each buyer was approved by Enzo Ferarri. All these subtle accoutrements makes that $40 million auction price point not seem so bad!
This next car sold at auction is an exclusive, one of a kind..
