That's only the most expensive car ever sold at auction. The most expensive car ever sold was...wait for it...another Ferrari 250 GTO. $70,000,000.

I suspect that if any car could come close to 250 GTO prices, it would be a Bugatti Royale, but IIRC, none are in private hands.

I was surprised that this particular car went that high being that it was an original 1962 car which once wore the most beautiful alloy body ever applied to a GT car and was rebodied in 1964 just as the '64s were.
No comparison in the beauty dept IMO.

I think the most expensive new car sold was a Rolls Royce that was $13 million.

Compared to other GTO's that body is inelegant to put it nicely.

I heard about the one that sold for $72,000,000. It was a private sale and not publicized.

Never was a fan of that body style, nor the bread box and the most recent iteration of it- the "Lusso."

Speaking of historics, my youngest son and I are going to Italy for a week in May to visit my cousins. I'm pumped as I just purchased tickets for The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Como. I didn't plan for it, but it was being held the weekend I land in Milan. The following week, we're going to Maranello for one of the Ferrari owners tours.

You should have a grand time + experience for you both.What A treat for father + son.Enjoy!
