Lintic car auctions 2024: Record prices for Ferrari and Co.

Monterey, Kalifornien, USA - In 2024, classic car auctions have again achieved record prices, especially in the United States, where the demand for exclusive automobiles is unbroken. As the Krone reported, vintage cars from the Ferrari brand dominated the auctions and sometimes achieved astronomical sums. According to Frank Wilke from Classic Analytics, the prices for the top ten classic cars are impressive this year, with the clearly leading Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder from 1963 being auctioned for incredible $ 17.875 million. This vehicle, one of only 55 specimens produced, convinces not only with its rarity, but also through extensive restoration work and a complete possession documentation.

While the market situation in Germany is burdened by economic uncertainties, the classic car market in the United States is blooming. According to RM Sotheby’s, another Ferrari 330 LM from 1962 was auctioned for at least $ 51.7 million, which is a new record for a public Ferrari auction. In addition to these top sales, there are also remarkable auction results for other classic cars, including a Mercedes simplex from 1903, which changed owners for $ 12.1 million, and a Ferrari 312 T4 that brought in $ 8.3 million, such as Auto Motor und Sport found.

In view of the impressive results, these vehicles not only prove the value of past engineering, but also the unbroken interest of the collectors in classic cars.
