Barrett Jackson 2015

Indeed good news for owners in many ways, there are others who might argue that Pantera values going up will change the demographic of who can afford them and hence owners I.e. An even greater shift to collector and less driver Panteras.

That said one point of reference does not make a trend. You cannot omit the other Panteras that sold at B-J for mid 50's in the same auction. Then there is the originality perspective over riding all of that.

Hagertry tracks values, so you can see the overall average of public sales on their site.

I spoke with a barrett-Jackson rep at the Boca Raton Concours D'Elegance this past weekend. He thinks that Panteras are starting to get the recognition they deserve and he thinks $200,000 is not out of the question. He didn't say when just that they would.

I happened to look at older Lamborghini prices recently and was amazed that Countach are now $500K and Diablo's $300-350K. It doesn't seem long ago they were both $150K, either there is a bubble or I seriously misjudged the market.

Hey Mark .. thanks for reminding me. I sold my 246 GT for $30K about 10 years ago. It was that or the Pantera .. I may have picked the wrong car to sell.

SCOTTSDALE, Az. (January 20, 2013) — Gooding & Company, the auction house acclaimed for selling the world’s most significant and valuable collector cars, realized $52.5 million at its annual Scottsdale Auctions this weekend. The auction house sold 101 of 104 lots, resulting in a 97% sales rate and an impressive average price of $519,727 per car sold. With a 31% increase from last year’s Scottsdale Auctions, these superb results demonstrate the increasing international demand for the rare, best-of-category collector cars that Gooding & Company specializes in bringing to market.
“With our significantly higher total for fewer cars sold at this year’s Scottsdale Auctions, the 2013 season looks brighter than ever for the high-end collector car market,” says David Gooding, President and founder of Gooding & Company. “In line with this market strength, we also continue to develop and improve as a company. The Gooding & Company team is proud to continue providing the best quality service and presentation possible.”
The top-selling lot of the week, Friday’s $8.25 million 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider, broke records for both a steel LWB California Spider and is the most valuable car ever sold in Arizona auction week’s history. Its sale marks the sixth consecutive year the auction house achieved the top-selling lot during January’s annual auction week. In addition, Gooding & Company sold six of the top 10 most valuable cars of all the houses this week.
Preservation and Limited Ownership
All original, low-mileage preservation cars with limited ownership history brought extraordinary results, sometimes doubling estimates for the best models. Examples include a 1956 Lancia Aurelia B24S Spider America that sold for $803,000 (estimate of $400,000 – $450,000), a 1965 Shelby 289 Cobra that sold for $1,320,000 (estimate of $850,000 – $1,100,000), and a 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Cabriolet that sold for $825,000, doubling its estimate of $400,000 – $450,000. New owners of these rare, time-capsule cars are among very few in the world who can say they own cars of equal authenticity.
American Top Sales
On Saturday, the powerful and exceptionally well-documented 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Roadster sold for $825,000, setting a new record for the model and raising the bar for American collector enthusiasts’ ultimate big-block engine icon. Also, a 1941 Packard Custom Super-8 One Eighty Sport Brougham sold well at $176,000 without reserve, surpassing its high estimate. Excellent examples of Duesenberg consistently bring in strong multi-million dollar sales suchas the 1933 Disappearing-top Murphy Roadster that sold on Saturday for $2,695,000.
