Paying Attention(updated with sold pricing): We tend to focus on the auction houses that concentrate on European (and American) sports cars in this annual survey. There are certainly some blockbuster collectibles crossing the block at Pebble Beach this year, and RM Auctions, which treats this sale like the Super Bowl of collector car auctions, has some very desirable offerings coming to market as do all of the big houses. As with each of these surveys, you are encouraged to click each link to review the specs and provenance on any automobile you’re interested in and also to download and go through the full catalog. The goal with the survey is always to point out interesting cars (or trending cars) and to educate about the market and market direction. Even better advice: get a nice glass of wine (or a Scotch) and roll through various auction catalogs. Time very well spent. No need to have all your investment accounts tied up in stocks, bonds, or even cattle; collector automobiles have been performing very, very well over the past few years and this year should see another set of records set at Pebble Beach, both for the auctions themselves and specific models of cars. It was at Pebble when we first noticed that Aston was starting to move up. Who’s going to start to move this year? Although the trend is already up, Porsche and Porsche race cars certainly have lots of room to appreciate. Lots to see (and yes, the pun is intended) so let’s get to it. Items without a “Sold” price were either withdrawn or did not sell.
