The 30 Million Dollar Ferrari 250 GTO

Widespread during Monterey Week was the rumor that a Ferrari 250 GTO privately traded hands for a whopping $30,000,000. And yes, that is not a typo.

Sports Car Digest has yet to definitively confirm the rumor, but the sale is very believable as Ferrari prices have been on a tear, particularly for the very finest models. The best confirmation of the sale we have found is the typical, “I know a guy who knows a guy that knows the buyer.”
