Mercedes $10 million auction

[glenn]

Goodings is auctioning Baroness von Krieger's 540K at Monterey in August. ..   $10,000,000 range is expected. ..   Be there or be nowhere!!!

Would you let your Pagoda go for 1/100 of that??. ..  200 Pagodas for a 540K???

The 540K beat $10,000,000!

I was at Pebble Beach and the green 1970 pagoda that was restored by the Classic Center apparently sold for $250K. The Von Krieger car was expected to get $18MM but I heard that it sold for $14MM but there is no sale reported on the Gooding s site that auctioned the car.

In fact, the car - 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster sold for a mere $11,770,000. Still well above any of our Pagodas, but well below the expected 14-15 mln US$.

Now, considering that an average Pagoda commands in the range of 40000 US$, this would make how many...?

Still I would stick to mine...

$250K for a Pagoda? Is that a world record?

That car has been for sale for years and years.  Eventually the prices may catch up with his asking price. ha

Maybe someone needs to be smoking the same thing John Lennon was reputed to have been smoking.....

I understand the Classic Center sold a Pagoda at Pebble for over $200K...
