Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris (http://www.autoblog.com/ferrari/). With the Pebble Beach (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/pebble+beach/) festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/13/fangio-f1-car-sells-for-record-29m-at-goodwood-auction/) might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari (http://www.autoblog.com/ferrari/) could take that title back in Monterey (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/monterey/) this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
