More than US$70 mil worth of classic and collectable cars have been sold online by the world’s top auction houses since the start of the pandemic.

LOS ANGELES: In an auction that ended Aug 7, Gooding & Co. sold a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB the colour of a white sand beach for US$3.08 million . Even more unbelievable: It was done online. The uniquely engineered, 1-of-40 coupe commanded the most expensive sum ever paid for a car sold on the Internet.

“I think this car is virus-proof in the sense that it is a really, really exceptional 275. It’s basically an all-original car with an original interior, a lot of original paint, and long-term ownership,” David Gooding, auction house president and chief executive officer, said in an interview before the sale. “It’s special—pandemic or not.”

The results sent a strong “Yes, you can!” message to any industry collectors and enthusiasts wondering if their cancelled summer sales would hold up in an online format—especially for the most elite and perfect collectable cars, such as racing Aston Martins, Jaguars, and racing Ferraris.
