RM Auctions/Darin Schnabel
A 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 that belonged to Steve McQueen set a new auction record for the model, selling for $10,175,000 before a packed house at RM's Monterey sale.
The "King of Cool's" Ferrari went for $10,175,000, which sounds impressive until you consider that a 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale was auctioned for more than twice that - $26,400,000.
As you can see from the preliminary list below, provided by RM Auctions, Ferrari ruled the weekend, with six cars topping the results and several other fetching a hammer price of over a million bucks.
Overall, Ferraris have become the most coveted vehicles in the collectible classic car world. The auctions associated with the Concours d'Elegance proved that beyond the shadow of a doubt.
