$7.6 Million Ferrari Final Bid, 16 $1 Million + Sales at RM Sotheby’s

by Andrew Nabors
May 4, 2015
in Auctions, News

Some cars are destined to be show queens and others spend their lives at races. This rare SuperAmerica has seen it all. Auction house RM Sotheby’s sold a rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica for $7.645 million over the weekend at the May 2 “The Andrews Collection” auction.

In addition to this astounding final sale price, 15 other lots broke the $1 million mark, while the one-off “Tron” inspired motorcycle we reported on March 23 sold for $77,000, nearly double its estimated amount of $22,000-$40,000.

As RM Sotheby’s media site describes, the 1962 Ferrari was built as the premier show car for Geneva and New York. Pininfarina crafted this short wheelbase cabriolet with every option available. Most Superamericas were long wheelbase, which are better suited to the wider roads of the US. This car was rare and among the most expensive cars of its day, so what better way to preserve it than to go racing. Instead of hitting a historic track with a few other gentlemen at a Ferrari Challenge, the owner decided to push every inch of this car to its limit at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Any car raced on the salt is prone to rust from every surface due to the pervasive nature of the racing surface. To see it in such stunning condition now, one can only imagine the painstaking level of disassembly and restoration needed after the race. Restored by Patrick Ottis in 2005, chassis 3309 is a V12 masterpiece that has earned a lavish retirement.

Be sure to check out the gallery of this $7 million Ferrari below, as well as the top 10 sales from the entirety of the Andrews Collection auction.
