ON THE BLOCK AT MONTEREY: 1964 Ferrari 250 LM smashes auction record

Relive the auction action of the Pinnacle Portfolio as the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, boasting a rich period racing history, roars onto the stage to applause from the packed RM Sotheby’s sale room. Following tremendous bidding both in the room and over the telephone, the racing legend sells for a final price of $17,600,000, a new record for the model at auction and the top seller of the 2015 Monterey car week.

This auction reminds me of the film "Red Violin"... It would be neat if while the auction is happening we would see the history of this car flowing by... Showing where it was designed and then built and by the metal artisans working the metal... And it's racing history(not sure if it has racing history)... Anyway it would be a nice addition to the process of auctioning this car and to see the past come to life and meet up with this day and time and place...

[@mjr320]

they really do not make cars as beautiful like the cars from this era

[@debadityasaha1684]

That's the ugliest car i have ever seen.

[@aviationlba747]

If you think that this car is ugly, your opinion isn’t valid. This is one of the most beautiful cars ever manufactured.

[@debadityasaha1684]

@@aviationlba747 then how is your opinion valid ?.

[@aviationlba747]

My ‘opinion’ is valid because it’s a fact. This car is beautiful, how can you say otherwise?

[@blackmaiden3893]

How can you call this car ugly? It is simply stunning.

[@3613jeremy]

It's amazing how a car can bring 14mil + that easy

[@cindymelton499]

How much did the S91 Porsche 550A go for

[@torq63able]

Over 17 million dollars

[@mikestang679]

How big can this Ferrari "bubble" get?

[@jdm_store_jo.jordan]

[@mikestang679]

In August @ Pebble Beach Sotheby's will be offering a GTO it could meet or pass $70 mil, this bubble is now a blimp, no more Bugatti Royal as top dog, my head is spinning..............

[@hawlikd]

[@acatnamedscoop7718]

[@caribman10]

All that hype and never really showing the car? Why bother?

[@urmotherfather2584]

[@aminebran8372]

Hahahahaha

[@stevenhollingsworth733]

Is this a car auction or a funeral Dead crowd.

[@OnwardSoldier]

The auctioneer is so slow

[@BearerOfDreams]

OnwardSoldier probably because it’s a slow paced auction for the rich, and people are hesitant on spending 10s of millions on a car(a damn nice one at that)
