Rare Pontoon Ferrari at RM Monterey

June 11, 2010

There are only 21 of them in the world, and when the last one came up for auction in the decidedly bleaker economic climate of May 2009, it sold for $12.4 million. Now RM Auctions is offering another 1958 Scaglietti-designed Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa  at its August sale, along with no fewer than 22 other vintage Ferrari’s. RM calls the car nothing short of “the most important and valuable car ever to be offered during Monterey week.” In other words, expect a big number.

Other notable offerings at RM’s sale, which will take place during the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, are a 1959 LWB California Spyder, a 1959 Series III 410 Superamerica, and a 1957 Series 1 250 Pininfarina Spyder, all expected to sell for over $1 million.

100 MPH Without Brakes: Steve McQueen’s 1914 Indian At Bonhams

April 12, 2013

Of all the motorcycles owned by Steve McQueen—and there were many—one of the more unusual is the 1914 Indian Board Track Racer that Bonhams will offer at its Stafford sale in England later this month. Produced for one of the first pine-board motordomes in the country, it was fitted with neither brakes nor throttle. Racers went all out, powered by a 4hp, 500cc engine, reaching speeds of 100mph. Restored by Indian specialist Stephen Wright, McQueen’s bike is estimated at $34,000-$43,000.

Duesenberg Leads Boca Raton Concours Auction

February 22, 2013

In its day, the ultra-sleek 1930 Duesenberg Model J Torpedo Phaeton had few rivals for style, luxury, engineering or power. More expensive than a Rolls Royce or Hispano Suiza, fewer than 500 were made, making the cars’ owners members of a very exclusive club that included Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, and William Randolph Hearst. The example that Bonhams will offer tomorrow at the Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance belonged to the wife of Duesenberg’s owner, E.L. Cord and has been featured in numerous movies. Restored to show standards, it comes to the auction without an estimate, generally a sign of high expectations.

January 21, 2013

Little doubt remained about the extraordinary vitality of the vintage car market after the results at the multiple auctions that took place this past weekend in and around Scottsdale, Arizona. Gooding & Co. led the final tallies with a total of $52.5m, paced by the sale of a 1958 Ferrari 250GT LWB California Spider for $8.25m. With six of the weekend top 10 sales, Gooding’s result was up 31% over last year’s sale, a pattern of growth that almost all the Scottsdale events mirrored.
