Classic sports cars can be an investment, because the price of this type of car continues to rise sharply. There are at least 3 sports cars that have the chance to break record auctions.

There are 3 records at the same time, namely the first record of the most expensive cars in history, the record for the most expensive British brand cars and the three most expensive American cars.

Soon, a classic car auction entitled Concours d'Ellegance Classic Car at Bebble Beach, Monterey, California will be held on August 25, 2018.

As reported by CNN, this auction will be filled with various top class car collectors, the auction value is usually always set a record.

The first car that is expected to print the biggest number is Ferrari 250 GTO in 1962 which is estimated to be auctioned at a figure of USD 45-60 million around Rp. 656.55 billion to Rp. 875 billion. The car will be auctioned by RM Sotheby's auction hall.

Previously in 2014, Ferrari GTO in 1962-1963 had recorded a record breaking the figure of USD 38 million in sales at a Bonham auction at Pebble Beach Car Week.

This car has a 2-year model because it was destroyed in an accident and then restored by Ferrari. At present, that is the highest auction record.

There are actually other records recorded by the same car model, which reportedly sold up to USD 70 million. But the sale of this car was not public because it was sold privately.

Why is the Ferrari GTO so special? First, this car has a very beautiful design. Secondly, this car is always successful in car racing championships.

There are many models that have been successfully created by Ferrari, such as the 250 LM, the engine mounted behind the wheel, but the front-engine GTO type is more popular because it is easier to drive and easier to maintain.

"Ferrari 250 GTO, you open the door like the car you want, you go in and go straight away," said RM Southby Specialist, Jake Aurbach. "It's very simple," he added.

Ferrari 250 GTO is only produced as many as 36 units, all car owners know each other and form an exclusive car club. Even sometimes often touring together.

The GTO will be sold at RM Southeby's auction on the 25th of August. Where the type of car to be sold has a great history, namely winning Italian GP in 1962 and recording a total of 15 races from 1962 to 1965.

Phil Hill is the person who was behind the wheel of a car, he was an American citizen who won the Formula 1 championship. He used Ferrari as his training car before the Targa Flario series race in 1962.

The second car that will print the auction is the Aston Martin in 1963 DP215 Grand Touring Prototype.

This model is the most recommended car for British cars. The estimated price is estimated between USD 18-20 million. Indeed, this car has never won any racing championships, but this brand has recorded the best top speed in Le Mans, France.

American cars also do not miss, 1966 Ford GT40. In its history, this gold-colored racing car had occupied third place for 24 hours at Le Mans France in 1966, was the most famous car racing event at that time.

This event was also a victory moment for Ford CEO at that time Henry Ford where he was refused to buy a prancing horse manufacturer, then he demanded that Ford beats Ferrari, and this is the moment of Henry Ford's revenge.

"There's nothing really better in American races, except for Le Mans 1966," said Aurbach.

Even the history of the race about Ferrari versus Ford will enter the big screen with the title 'Ford vs. Ferrari '. Starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale which will be released next year.

The car is estimated to be sold at a figure of USD 9-12 million, but maybe later the results are even more. To date, the most valuable American car ever auctioned is the first Shelby Cobra built by Carroll Shelby in 1962. The car sold for $ 13.8 million at Monterey Sotheby's RM auction in 2016.
