Gooding & Company, the auction house acclaimed for selling some of the world’s most significant and valuable collector cars, realized $36,169,560 at the company’s 13th annual two-day Scottsdale Auctions. The famed auction house sold 124 of 138 lots. Additionally, eight cars sold over the $1 million mark. In total, Gooding & Company lead the market during Arizona Auction Week in total sales, highest average price, most cars sold over $1,000,000, and represents five of the top ten sales for the week.
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.”
