Auctions America Sells $14 Million In Supercars In Santa Monica

Auctions America moved an impressive array of supercars this past weekend in Santa Monica, where it generated over $14 million in sales. And some of them were big-buck exotics.

The top seller at the event was a 1995 Ferrari F50. One of only 349 made, it sold for $1.95 million, setting a record for the most valuable car Auctions America has ever sold. Not far behind was an ’89 Porsche 959 in “Komfort” spec with just 7,500 kilometers on the clock and just two owners over the course of its lifetime, selling for $1.25 million.

The auction also saw a significant portion of the Riverside International Automotive Museum liquidated. Some of the more valuable items from the museum’s collection have been consigned to sister auction house RM Sotheby’s for its Monterey event later this summer. However the Auctions America event featured several notable lots, including a ’94 Jaguar XJ220 that sold for $357,500, a 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione for $319,000, a 2006 Ford GT for $305,250, and a ’67 Maserati Mistral 4000 for $181,500.

Alongside the million-dollar European supercars and the Riverside collection, the event also saw a 1974 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona sell for $600,000, a 1940 Packard Royal Streamliner Roadster for $412,500, and a 2005 Ferrari 575M Superamerica for $385,000. Several valuable classics didn’t sell, however, including a slew of Ferraris, a ’69 Corvette L88, a Lamborghini Countach, and a ’65 Shelby GT350.
