Now, reports are saying that a specific 350 GTO for sale by Talacrest in Berkshire, England has a price tag of $56.4 million. If so, this would make it the most expensive car ever sold, by far.
According to the car’s descriptions, this specific example is chassis #3387 and was the second 250 GTO ever made. It came to life on March 16, 1962 and immediately went to testing for racing with Scuderia Corsa. Shortly after, it was delivered to Luigi Chinetti Motors where it became the first 250 GTO to ever race. Chassis #3387 would go on to finish second place overall and first in its class at the 1962 Sebring 12 Hours.
