Scottsdale, AZ (January 18, 2015) – Gooding & Company, the auction house acclaimed for selling the world's most significant and valuable collector cars, surpassed $51.5 Million dollars in total sales at their annual two-day Scottsdale Auctions. The company sold an impressive 114 of 126 lots yielding a 90% sales rate and average price per car of $451,900. The close of their two-day sale garnered 25 new world auction benchmarks including a 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico (sold for $4,070,000), a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 (sold for $1,980,000) and many more from top marques.

A top highlight of Saturday's auction was a touching charity lot presentation from ultimate car collector and comedian Jay Leno, USO CEO & President J.D. Crouch II, and 36th Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army and USO Board Member General George Casey. Leno's personal 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 generated an astonishing $565,625 in contributions to the USO. The crowd was roaring with excitement as bidders competed for the patriotic prize in the one of the most exciting bidding displays during the Arizona auction week. The auctioneer dropped the hammer at $360,000 for the winning bidder, and that contribution was quickly supported by over $200,000 in additional donations from other bidders and auction attendees. For more information on how you can donate and continue this great charitable momentum please visit USO.org.
