    Quite some interesting cars for sale in the US (amongst others a 275 gtb/4 (with pictures of an alloy car!!, but that were only the pictures.....)). Their website is not very informative about the results (or not yet published). Anyone more patient than me?

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The inaugural Gooding & Company Scottsdale Auction was a stunning success, with a grand total of more than $21 million for 64 cars sold, of which 7 cars sold for more than $1 million individually. World-record sales were set for the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 ($1.54 million) and the Rolls-Royce Phantom II Streamline Saloon ($852,000).

    Additional highlights from the dynamic auction included the 1963 Ferrari 400 Superamerica and the Packard Individual Custom Eight Convertible, which each sold for more than $1 million. The Model J Duesenberg "Clear-Vision" Sedan also broke the million dollar mark, due in part to its refined sedan body and its remarkable history.

    Did anyone see the 275gtb 4 cam that sold for 1.1 mil at the Gooding auction? I do not see any info on it anywhere. Anyone see it or know the condition?

    Interesting car that supposedly had a targa top at one stage. When it was restored back to a solid roof they fitted windows from a 2 cam SWB. It looked a little odd if you looked hard. Reputed to have been in the ownership of Omar Sharif once but there was no certainty amongst the cognoscenti regarding that story. Yellow is great on a 275. The car had some mechanical problems with a water line the night before the auction. They got it running somehow and it got onto the stage under its own power. It fetched a little less than a well sorted 4 cam would have, but the real buyers in these situations are pretty well clued in to the condition and history of the high buck cars.
