The curtain has closed on yet another great year in Monterey and about $344.9 million in cars swapped hands this year; off-the-block deals could still boost this total. The really special cars found eager buyers and set new records. There was a total of 1,273 cars being auctioned with 724 of them finding new homes.

The event was not just about the auctions, the lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours had some of the rarest cars around and, to commemorate Ford’s Le Mans victory 50 years ago, the greatest collection of racing GT40s assembled since they all went to Le Mans a half a century ago.
