Gooding & Co Scottsdale 2017 - solid results or too much of a gamble?
On January 20 and 21, 2017, Gooding & Co auctioned 126 vehicles worth well over USD 50 million, including 24 Ferraris and 23 Porsches, as well as exotic cars such as the AMX/3 and one of the Squire, of which only a handful were built. With a sales rate of 84%, Gooding can actually be satisfied, but the hammer prices were well below expectations across the board and a number of "blue chip" classics did not find a new owner.
