Auction house Gooding & Co. sold a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Prototype for $16.4 million at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last week. Gooding says that was a world record price for a car sold at an auction.
The auction house declined to release the name of the buyer of the sports car.
The next most expensive car sold at the Saturday auction was a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT for more than $3 million. But just a day later, Gooding sold a Duesenberg Whittell Coupe for more than $10 million.
Some of the other sellers at the Concours included a Shelby Cobra that sold for $2.6 million and a Fiat that sold for $1.1 million.
