Highest price ever paid for a car is for a 250 GTO. Swiss broker had the deal sealed to a japanese buyer for 27MM, so he bought it for 22. Deal fell through, and he was stuck with the car.
The car is now in a local collector's hands (here in the bay area - friend of a friend), who paid $4MM.
the 250GTO is the holy grail of collectors...do not expect to find one under 10 these days. It's not 1989 again, but with the currency fluctuations going on, there's a strong market emerging and cars are leaving the US... of course, we won't see the likes of the 89 japanese collectors again, IMO.
