The RM Auctions Arizona 2015 sale will be held January 15-16 on the grounds of the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix. More than 125 classic and significant automobiles will cross the auction podium at this year\u2019s sale, including 22 automobiles with pre-sale estimates exceeding $1 million.<\/p>\n

The 16th annual RM Auctions sale held during Arizona Auction Week includes everything from pre-war classics to sports and racing cars, late-model supercars and emerging collectibles. The 2015 sale is headlined by the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM; 1969 Ferrari 365 GTS; 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB\/4; 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Sport Cabriolet A; 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB\/4 Daytona Spider; 1971 Lamborghini Miura SVJ; 1965 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS and 1953 Bentley R-Type Continental Sports Saloon; among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Arizona sale offers some of the most desirable models across the board. From custom coachbuilt touring cars to poster cars of the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s, everything is represented,\u201d said Ian Kelleher, Managing Director, RM Auctions West Coast Division. \u201cWhile rare Ferraris of the 1960s like the 250 LM and 365 GTS continue to command high prices in response to sustained demand, we\u2019re also expecting to see great things from emerging collectibles with important motorsport heritage such as the Audi Sport Quattro.\u201d<\/p>\n

The RM Auctions Arizona 2015<\/a> offering is highlighted by a selection of more than 20 Ferraris. Setting the pace is a 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, chassis 5899 GT, delivered new to Scuderia Filipinetti. The team’s first two outings in 5899 GT posted winning results with top Ferrari Formula One drivers Ludovico Scarfiotti and Nino Vaccarella piloting the car to 1st overall finishes at the Sierre-Montana Crans Hill Climb and the XV Coppa Inter-Europa in Monza. 5899 GT has been more recently campaigned on the vintage racing circuit, and was granted Ferrari Classiche Certification in 2005 (Est. $9,500,000 – $12,500,000).<\/p>\n
