Auction Totals at Pebble Surpass $750 MillionGooding Christie'sIf the only metric you looked at was the Pebble Beach collector car auctions, you'd think the economy was doing fantastico. Last week, the five auction houses that did business on the Monterey Peninsula in conjunction with Monterey Car Week sold $755 million worth of great cars. That figure surpassed even the pandemic-fueled frenzy of 2022, according to Hagerty, which had people at all five auctions keeping tabs on everything during and after the hammers fell.Top seller was a 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe that sold for a record $42,905,000 at Gooding Christie's. A 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport sold for $18.7 million at RM Sotheby's, which is a record for a Corvette.RM Sotheby's"Mark… here's an interesting bit of information that no one in the media has realized… yet," wrote Pete Brock in an email. "This might make a good point for your next column. With all the noise on my Daytona Coupe CSX2300 going for $42+ million, few realized that the highest price ever paid for any Corvette, Zora Duntov's #003 Grand Sport, at $18+ million, ALSO had its body designed by me!"AdvertisementAdvertisementWe love Pete Brock.RM Sotheby'sThe Grand Sport was the #4 top seller for the week. The Cobra and the Corvette were split by a 1996 McLaren F1 Coupe that sold for $34,655,000, and a 2026 Ferrari Luce Tailor Made Sedan for $40,000,000; latter two were sold at RM Sotheby's.1963 Ferrari 250 P SpiderGooding Christie'sRounding out the Top 10 were:1963 Ferrari 250 P Spider—$18,705,000 (Gooding Christie's)2023 Ferrari Daytona SP3 Coupe—$17,825,000 (RM Sotheby's)1996 Ferrari F50 Coupe—$14,575,000 (Mecum Auctions)1995 Ferrari F50 Coupe—$12,105,000 (RM Sotheby's)2003 Ferrari Enzo Coupe—$12,100,000 (Mecum Auctions)1985 Ferrari 288 GTO Coupe—$11,555,000 (RM Sotheby's)AdvertisementAdvertisementWhat does it all mean? Hagerty offers a couple thoughts:The top 10 sales this year spanned five decades and four marques, with seven of the 10 represented by Ferrari. Even as hypercars and prewar exotica fought for headlines, the Prancing Horse remained the organizing principle of the week. With Monterey now behind us and the next major sales not until January, the market has time to sit with what 2026 revealed.The record total will generate headlines, and rightfully so. But the more durable takeaway is structural: the collector car market is sorting itself between the irreplaceable and everything else. If your car is one of a kind, 2026 continues to be a very good year.
