2023 Amelia auction sales make–and break–multiple records

Are live auctions still relevant in 2023? If Hagerty’s report of the recent sales at The Amelia are anything to go by, the answer is a resounding yes, with a total of $178.4 million–a new overall record for Amelia Island.

While there seemed to be a jump in the quality of cars, the quantity of cars to sell didn’t increase significantly, according to Hagerty, as neither buyers nor sellers were in a rush to add to their collections or downsize their current stock.

The total sales weren’t the only records set during the Amelia weekend, though. Ferrari had a strong showing, with a 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider setting an Amelia record after selling for $18 million. Two Dinos, a 206 GT and an original “chairs and flairs” 246 GTS also set records after selling for $868,500 and $967,500, respectively.

On the record-breaking front, an AMG Hammer sedan sold for $775,000, followed some 20 lots later by an AMG Hammer Coupe selling for $885,000. An Acura Integra Type R also broke a previous sales record, selling for $151,200.
