    Default 1961 Ferrari California Spyder sells for record $10,894,900




    Autoblog

    This past weekend a new record was set for the highest amount paid for a car at a vintage auction by a 1961 Ferrari California Spyder selling for $10,894,900 after auction fees. The sale was at RM Auction's second annual "Ferrari Leggenda e Passione" auction in Maranello, Italy, and the obviously wealthy buyer was popular British radio host Chris Evans.

    While we aren't experts on the classic car market, we can't help but think this sale was the result of a "gotta have it" mentality by Evans with no regard for the actual value of the vehicle. The initial estimate from RM Auctions was nearly half the sale price, and the fact that the car was previously owned by actor James Coburn seems somewhat inconsequential. While there's no doubt that Evans snagged an incredibly beautiful vintage Ferrari, we think he could have got his hands on a California Spyder for much less.

    That and a 1954 375 Plus, a 1958 Testa Rossa, a 63 GTO and a 67 330 P3 would be my dream garage.

    One the Ferrari totem pole, i would actually put a 250 TR or a 330 P3 to sell for high than this. Even a 312 PB. I feel like racing Ferraris are worth more but this one turns it upside down.

    Great car non the less. I saw one at the Galleria Ferrari last year.

    Hellooooo beautiful!

    Freaking GORGEOUS car.

    And new desktop wallpaper.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
