An original 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose shined on the final day of bidding and the 1926 Bugatti Type 37 Grand Prix set a new world auction record.
Gooding & Company's online Arizona sale featured some of the world's most esteemed marques, from prewar to present day. A Ferrari led the sale with the well-preserved 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose achieving $1,936,000. One of the most exciting cars of the week, the 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe, saw bidding placed up until the very last second before ultimately selling for $968,000. The timeless 1926 Bugatti Type 37 Grand Prix reached a final sale price of $935,000, which set a new auction world record for a Type 37. Rounding out the company's top five sales was an attractive 1965 Shelby GT350 that ended a lengthy bidding war with a winning price of $385,000. One of the most distinctive lots from the online sale, the record-breaking 1972 Citroen SM Land Speed Racer, successfully sold above estimate at an impressive $203,500. A 1968 Meyers Manx more than doubled its low estimate by selling for $101,200, setting a new auction world record for the model in the process.
In addition to a stunning array of collector cars on offer, Gooding & Company sold 100% of its automobilia lots, highlighted by the extremely rare c. 1963 Midway Race-Way Pinball Machine. This original and operational electro-mechanical pinball machine smashed its pre-auction estimate for a final price of $27,500, becoming one of the most expensive pinball machines ever sold at auction. The fifth lot in the sale, a Bugatti Type 59 Grand Prix Model by Antonietti-Bossac, ultimately sold for an outstanding $16,875. In total, the company sold all 15 of its automobilia lots, continuing its success in selling a range of automotive history.
