Preliminary results supplied to ClassicCars.com by Hagerty Insurance indicate Gooding & Company’s Amelia Island auction generated $31.3 million in sales Friday. That total does not include any possible “after sale” of the cars that did not meet their reserve prices while on the block.
Hagerty’s preliminary figures show a 90-percent sell-through rate with 79 of 88 lots hammered sold. The average sales price was $395,840 (all prices include the buyer’s premium)
A pair of Porsches led the sale with a 1968 907 longtail coupe bringing $3.63 million and a 1959 718 RSK Spyder going for $3.3 million.
Nine cars, including two other Porsches, sold for $1 million or more, and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300Sc roadster barely missed that mark, going for $990,000.
Also impressive was the fact that two Ferrari Dino’s each sold for more than $600,000.
We’ll have complete wrap-up on the sale after Gooding & Company reports its official tally of the event.
