At the same time as RM/Sotheby's, Gooding & Co will also hold an auction of 87 vehicles at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation on March 10, 2017.

The cars were estimated at a total of around USD 63 million (EUR 60 million, CHF 63 million), meaning that the highest bidder is expected to pay an average of over USD 710,000 per car.

Porsche dominance

With 25 cars, the Porsche brand delivers the largest contingent of cars. Only Ferrari, with 14 cars, can still boast cars of a similar size, while the other brands are each present with a handful or fewer cars.

Porsche 924 GTR (1981) - Lot 064 - Gooding & Co Amelia Island Auction 2017

The more than two dozen Porsche sports cars include both road cars and racing cars. Two 356 Carrera 2 Coupés (USD 500,000 to 650,000), a 964 Turbo S Leichtbau from 1993 (USD 1.3 to 1.6 million), a 924 GTR (USD 250'000 to 300,000) and a 911 GT1 from 1998 (no estimate announced) are some of the rarities up for auction.

One of the original Jaguar XKSS

In 1957, Jaguar announced that it would build 25 road-going D-Type versions called XKSS. Sixteen were built, the remaining nine chassis were famously destroyed in a fire. Now XKSS 716 is to find a new owner.

Unlike other chassis, this car was not converted back into a D-Type, but was completely restored at the beginning of the new century. It has since been on display in Pebble Beach as well as in the park at Villa d'Este. Now this rarity is expected to fetch USD 16 to 18 million from the highest bidder.

Wankel racing car

Mazda is the only manufacturer to have managed to power a Le Mans winner with the rotary piston engine.

However, Gooding is not auctioning a 787B but a 767B, the predecessor of the famous car, so to speak. Nevertheless, chassis 003 can also boast some racing successes and is now expected to cost USD 1.8 to 2.4 million.

Another Pegaso

Just 90 Pegaso sports cars were built in the 1950s, embodying what was technically feasible at the time. Seven coupés from the second series were coachbuilt at Saoutchik, and one of these visually exceptional vehicles is now going under the hammer at Gooding for USD 600,000 to 800,000 in red paintwork after two restorations. These sports cars are actually completely undervalued.

Modern BMW selection

There are four modern BMWs for sale at Gooding. These include, of course, the Z8, which is appearing more and more frequently at auctions, but also M3 E30 Cabriolet (USD 70,000 to 90,000) and an M3 E36 Lightweigt from 1995. This American version, which was 100 kg lighter than the standard M3, was only built 126 times and is now said to be worth USD 150,000 to 180,000 with 7500 miles on the clock and plenty of documentation. The car is offered without a limit, but an E36 auction record can certainly be expected here.

Two modern Alfa Romeo 8Cs

The beautiful 8C Alfa models from 2008/2009 have not yet appeared at auction very often. Gooding can offer both a coupé (Competizione from 2008) and a convertible (Spider from 2009) and values them both at USD 400,000. It will be interesting to see whether bidders will see it the same way, as prices in this country are currently still starting at half that level.

Cheaper cars too

As is well known, Gooding is never really cheap, but there are still 16 cars that are probably for sale in the five-figure range, including a Mercedes-Benz 220 S from 1959 (USD 30,000 to 40'000), a Lotus Europa TC from 1974 (USD 40,000 to 60,000), a Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupé from 1976 (USD 60,000 to 80,000) or a (Ford) Lotus Cortina Mk1 from 1966 (USD 75,000 to 90,000). The fact that even a Rolls-Royce Phantom V from 1960 is below the six-figure mark and is therefore likely to be only slightly more expensive than a VW Beetle is no longer surprising given current buyer trends.

Even a Beetle

VW Beetles are a common sight at American auctions, and Gooding also has a Pretzel Beetle for sale, complete and extensively restored, but also priced at USD 65,000 to 75,000. It remains to be seen whether the highest bidder will have to pay that much; the car is being offered without a reserve price, as are 39 others, which makes up around 45% of the offer.

Further information and many pictures can be found on the Gooding & Co. website.
