RMS: Arizona (Thursday)

Lot Order 101-103 - Automobilia - 23% Buyer's Premium 104-END - Cars - 14%/12% Buyer's Premium Always kicking off the collector car auction season on a strong note, RM Sotheby's returns to the vibrant grounds of the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, 17-18 January, for its 20th annual Arizona sale. Our 19th annual Arizona auction was one for the books, generating a final sales total of $36,523,620, with 88 percent of all lots sold. Attracting bidders from around the globe, the company's 19th annual Phoenix sale was a truly global event, once again illustrating that Arizona is the epicenter of the collector car world in January. Following a very well-attended outdoor preview, the packed auction room saw high energy and spirited bidding across the two-day event, with top sale honors going to the 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra 'Semi-Competition,' CSX 3040. Offered from an esteemed private collection and just four owners from new, CSX 3040 is one of the finest semi-competition examples in existence and has benefitted from a restoration by leading Cobra expert Mike McCluskey. The matching-numbers Cobra eventually soared past its pre-sale estimate of $2,000,000-$2,400,000 to bring a final $2,947,500. RM Sotheby's 2019 Arizona sale is set to continue the company's strong track record in Phoenix, presenting more than 100 blue-chip automobiles from the world's most iconic marques. Hand-selected by RM Sotheby's international team of specialists, the catalogue will span the spectrum of the market, from pre-war classics and contemporary supercars through important sports and racing cars.
