Gooding called this car a "one-of-a-kind" example of the Model. It was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for the personal use of Nuccio Bertone, combining two legendary names in Italian automotive design.

On Sunday, this 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider saw a hammer price of $16,800,000.

According to the Gooding & Company catalog, this Ferrari spent time in both California and Europe, and was once blue before being sold and repainted in the late 1960s.

That's $33.3 million, for two cars. Numerous other Ferraris were also auctioned in Monterey, demonstrating that the market for collectible cars from the Prancing Stallion is still going strong. Porches, Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Mercedes, and Mustangs were also on offer, but the bottom line is that Ferrari continues to rule the classic car roost.
