Classic (and New) Cars That Were Auctioned For Over $1 Million

1935 Duesenberg SSJ

Price: $35 million

Auctioneer: Gooding & Company – Pebble Beach, California, 2018

Once owned by Gary Cooper, the 1935 Duesenberg SSJ fetched a staggering $35 million at the Gooding and Co. Pebble Beach Auction.

This notable ride was only one of two ever made by Duesenberg, which is no longer operating as a manufacturer. It possesses a 7.3 L, twin carburetor, dual overhead cam, 32- valve, centrifuge really super charged, straight eight engine. The starting of this car is particularly interesting, involving an eight step process. Aside from extreme rarity, when it hit the market in 1935 it’s reported 400 hp engine was more than double anything else on the market, even a late 1970’s Ferrari 308GTB. It’s old age plus incredible performance power makes it one of the most astonishing vehicles still in operation today.

This next ride has more mods than a playboy model!
