Gooding & Company, the acclaimed auction house celebrated for selling the worlds most significant and valuable collector cars, is pleased to announce $ 39.8 million in sales for 116 out of 118 lots sold, its most successful Scottsdale Auction results to date. The Gooding & Company team soared through its Friday and Saturday auctions, selling lot after lot as guests cheered 13 world record-breaking cars, the immense bidding excitement in the room and Auctioneer Charlie Ross joyful entertainment.
For the fifth consecutive year, Gooding & Company sold the most valuable car of all the auction houses during Arizona Auction Week, with an exceptionally-rare $ 4.62 million 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Alloy Gullwing. An extraordinary matching-numbers example, this iconic sports car is among the most coveted of all 300 SLs and one of only 29 alloy bodied models in existence.
Thirteen of our cars broke world records and our top lot, the $ 4.62 million sale of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Alloy Gullwing, showed us that collectors continue to seek rarity and provenance, says David Gooding, President and founder of Gooding & Company. I am thrilled with the overwhelming enthusiasm and increased attendance of our guests this year in Scottsdale, as well as the exuberance our new and returning bidders demonstrated.
Over its Friday and Saturday auctions, Gooding & Company sold more than seven extraordinary cars for $ 1 million each, including the notable 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider that sold for $ 3.905 million, a $ 2.64 million 1930 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe, and a $ 2.145 million 1929 Bentley 4
