Bonhams at the Quail 2009 - The Auto Union didn't sell
The Bonhams Auction at the Quail in Monterey was expected to bring some of the biggest auction numbers of the week. It did end up bringing some large figures, but mainly in the number of unsold headlining cars. We were eagerly anticipating the bidding on the Auto Union Type D, the ex-Evel Knievel Ferrari Daytona Spider, The ZL-1 Camaro, and the 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Coupé among others. None sold. The Auto Union bidding stalled at $6 mil, while the featured Bugatti hesitated long enough at $5.2 mil that it also went unsold. Altogether, 45 lots didn't sell. What did sell did reasonably well though.
There's a full list of results after the jump, but the top seller was the The ex-William Boyd "Hopalong Cassidy", unique coachwork,1933 Duesenberg Model J Torpedo Convertible Victoria that went out the door for $1,437,000. Other notable sales included a trio of cars that went at $804,500 each: the 1952 Ferrari 212 Inter Vignale Coupe "Bumblebee," an ex-Otis Chandler,1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster, and a 1931 Bentley 4½ Liter 'Birkin Style' Tourer with original Supercharger. Other favorites were the 1975 BMW 3.0 CSL 'Batmobile' that sold for $150,000, the 1981 BMW M1 that went for $147,800, and the pristine 1987 Buick GNX that brought $70,200.
