Wow, that’s all we can say about the sales results from last weekend’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance car festival.  The five auction houses that participated in the annual auto festival sold a combined $260 million USD of vehicles last weekend, up 31% from the previous record of $198 million USD set last year, according to Hagerty Insurance, which tracks collector-car prices. The highest price came from Santa Monica based auction house Gooding & Co. when they sold a 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster for $11.8 million USD.

The events second top seller was a 1968 Ford GT40 sold for a record breaking $11 million USD by Blenheim, Ontario’s very own RM Auctions making it the most expensive American car ever sold at auction.
