NEW YORK (AP) — A 1956 Ferrari has been sold in New York for $28 million at an auction that also featured top bidding for Janis Joplin’s psychedelic Porsche.
RM Sotheby’s offered the vintage cars at a sale Thursday evening.
The Ferrari, which had a high estimate of $32 million, was one of the most valuable cars to come to auction. A Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta sold for $38.1 million at Bonhams in 2014. It holds the record for any car at auction.
Joplin’s 1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet brought in $1.76 million, well over its $600,000 top estimate. It was white when she purchased it used. It’s been at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland for the last two decades.
A 1963 Pontiac Bonneville owned by Roy Rogers fetched $308,000. It’s decorated with genuine silver dollars and guns.
