Summary

Gooding & Co offered 89 1:1 scale cars for sale at the annual Amelia Island auction on March 8, 2019. On average, the cars were just 40 years old, which is mainly due to the high proportion of neo-classics with 17 cars. On average, each car was expected to fetch around USD 380,000, but ultimately paid around USD 282,000. For almost a third of the vehicles, the highest bid was less than 60% of the median estimate. In view of the high proportion of cars that were knocked down without a reserve price, some vehicles were sold at true bargain prices, including Ferraris and Porsches. A VW 181 was almost sold for gold. This auction report analyzes the results and shows many of the cars in pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Gooding & Co hosted its annual auction during Amelia Island Week on March 8, 2019. Despite 89 cars, the event lasted just one day. With an average age of just 40 years, the cars were relatively young, which was mainly due to the 17 neo-classics, but also 11 youngtimers. It was mainly sports and racing cars from Porsche that dominated the event. 31 Porsches and one Kremer-Porsche represented more than a third of the cars on offer. The Ferrari contingent was comparatively compact with ten cars, BMW was represented with nine and Mercedes-Benz with seven. The remaining 24 brands had a maximum of three vehicles, including manufacturers that have long since disappeared such as Delahaye, Hudson, Kurtis and Osca.
