It is certainly unusual to see a 250GTO at auction as you would not expect
that any seller would ever need to pay the seller's premium no matter how small
Bonham's makes it or even if they sold it for free. The list of potential
buyers is probably well known and just a whisper into the Ferrari world would
bring them all out checkbooks in hand to own one of these and get into
the very exclusive club of fewer than 36 members (since Tony Wang still
owns 2, I think). This is quite a coup by Bonham's.
I will throw my hat into the ring here and say that the winning hammer bid
(not including buyer's premium) will be $43.75 million. I would
have said a higher number but I think that it might need new tires and an
exhaust! :)
Who is keeping the list of guesses?

You're right! It's hard for most
people to visualize what a billion $$s would be like - i know it is for me
- but if a bilionaire wanted a 250GTO, spending $50 mil would be just 5%
(as I'm sure everyone here knows) of this discretionary $1
Billion. Which I assume would be earned back in a year or
less if invested reasonable well.
Now picture a
gates or Buffet with $20 Bil or more (it seems to go up as fast as it goes
down) and that $50 mil becomes just .025% of our imaginary $20BB.
Which I would assume could be earned back in a month or 2.
Hard to imagine someone dropping $50 mil on a car
when it's more than most of us will make in a lifetime or two (or ten).
:-)
At least this
is how I try to imagine what it might be like to spend $5, 10 or $50 mil on a
great car. A 250GTO must be one hell of a car!
If anyone wants me to represent them in a auction just say the word.
;-)
I remember when one of the car mags. of
the early 60s had a much heralded test between a Pontiac GTO and a Ferrari
GTO. By some manipulation of the tests they had the Pontiac
on top. Recently, in the 90s sometimes, the editor at the time
admitted the Pontiac wouldn't out accelerate the Ferrari unless it had been
"pushed off a cliff,." and even then it would have been iffy.

isn't that much money to the people with the discretionary income to buy

Ok
Even if you had Warren Buffet money
Ask your self this
Is the car really worth that type of money?
What else could you do with that much coin ?

Is this a straight bid or does it include the
buyer's premium?

But *when* was the 57M sale? Regardless, I'm going to put my
guess at 47M.
