The most valuable car in the world, For Sale

Very rarely does the world’s most valuable car come up for sale, and if it does, we’d probably never hear about it. These sales are done behind closed doors, and the amount of said transactions are almost never disclosed. All this adds to the mystique behind the Ferrari 250 GTO. Just 36 250s were built between 1962 and 1963, each is still in existence, and easily carries an eight-figure price tag. A few years ago, a 250 GTO was supposedly sold from private collection for nearly $30 million.

RM Auctions have announced that they will be doing a “private treaty sale” of a 1963 250 GTO (chassis #4675GT). The car has been in possession of its current Japanese owner, Yoshiho Matsuda, since 1996, and it has an extensive racing history which may indeed increase the car’s potential value.

ESPNish will be putting in a fractional offer in hopes that Matsuda is fan of the iSH and will take a Jetta and a WRX in trade for the 250.
