Classic (and New) Cars That Were Auctioned For Over $1 Million
1956 Ferrari 290 MM
Price: $22,005,000
Auctioneer: RM Sotheby’s – Los Angeles, California, 2018
Throughout 1956 and 1957, the Ferrari 290 MM chassis number 0628 was piloted by a notable roster of incredible team drivers including Juan Miguel, Peter Colin, Wolfgang VonTrippe, Oliver Guinn Debbie, and Eugenio Castellotti. This car’s incredible compilation of drivers is one of the most famous teams to ever pilot a single vehicle.
In December 2018, RM Sotheby‘s sold this car for $22 million at auction, entering it into one of the most valuable motorcars ever to be sold. The car once resided at the Peterson Automotive Museum, and will be taken home by a private collector to join their arsenal of legendary vehicles. Though debated among pundits, it is rumored that this vehicle has the most famous racer’s butt sweat in history.
Enough about butt sweat, I barely knew how to pronounce this next car..
