Arizona auctions 2016

Both crossed the block. Bidding started for the F50 at $1 million and reached a no sale at $2,100,000.

The estimate was $2,500,000 to $2,900,000

 

Isn't that F50 non-us spec.? Makes a difference,

Lot 135 - 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series 2 reached a sale price of $291,500 with an estimate of $375,000 - $425,000

 

Is there a live feed of the Gooding auction

 

That car was one of the #99999 prototypes. It's a euro with USA spec mods. In theory, it should have attracted a premium.

 

The 330 GT is awesome car. I like having the backseat- part of my car addiction is being able to share the hobby with my family and friends. While the mechanics are similar, i think re real question isn't about the GT being unloved, but rather why the GTC is double the cost. The smell, sound, and feel similar. I drive my GT all the time-and its truly unbelievable how solid, easy to drive and fun it is , but when you take into account its almost 50 years old, its amazing.

Cheers Jim

 

They were all very nice does anyone know if that F40'was a repaint it has perhaps the best paint I have seen on a f40.. Or perhaps the original owner had Ferrari add a little extra paint the car looked great but lacked the print thru.. That most have....

 

Great car!! I want one

 

The GTC is perceived (rightly or wrongly) as being a GTB with a different body. The GTC is longer, heavier and more of grand touring car and the GTC is more sporty, lighter and with a shorter wheelbase. I don't think it should be twice the price, but it most assuredly is more desirable than a GTB.

 

I have to say, as someone with a series 1 330 for sale, I found the estimate pretty optimistic...

 

The F50 listing now shows as sold for $2.4mm vs an estimate of $2.5mm - $2.9mm

 

They are both great cars, but other than engine displacement, and body-on-frame construction, the two models are quite dissimilar mechanically. The GTC uses a torque-tube and transaxle design, as well as an upgraded suspension, for starters. In addition, as is typical in the sports car world, the price goes up when the seat-count goes down. Even more so when the roof comes off.

 

Did the ex- Foyt boxer sell? Price?

 

$440K all in.

 

Thanks Chris. What were your thoughts on the car and price. I value your opinion.

I think the car likely did the money because of the rare color combo; I don't think the Foyt provenance added much, if anything. The paint was not done to the highest standard (metallic is very difficult to get right) and a few things incorrect that Boxers guys would know, but not everyone would catch. Certainly nothing that wasn't fairly easy to correct. Interior was very nicely done, perhaps the best redo of a Boxer interior I have seen. I don't think the paint or other minor items detracted from the price.

 

Thank you Chris. Seems a fair showing for a boxer at the price. Pretty decent money for an injection car I would guess.

 

I didn't realize the Foyt Boxer was in there...

The guy that bought that car in Indy ($128K) died telling his wife:
"Someday that car will be $250K!"

She died. and then it sold at 'Keels and Wheels' for below $100K, from her estate.

They repainted the whole car?
It had some blemishes, but rarely saw daylight!!!

Foyt and Enzo had a fairly strained relationship, per some accounts.

 

Alan I knew you had some history with this girl. $440k. A bunch o money
