💰 The figures shared below don’t count any other sales such as car seats, memorabilia etc… All online auction sites are analyzed to put this leaderboard together.

I only include websites that have sold 5+ cars in the chart below. Which means Hagerty, PCarMarket and many others did not sell 5 vehicles yesterday!

The live car auction season is upon us now, and if you're craving the play-by-play, Sports Car Market is where it's at. With Amelia and Miami throwing down some serious live auction competition, you'd think the online scene might take a backseat. Think again – it's absolutely buzzing. Just yesterday, we chalked up over $7 million in sales. Major props to Car & Classic in the UK for showing the online world can hold its own with not one, but two stunning Ferrari sales.

While it might not have hit the top 5 in sale prices, this 1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 definitely landed in my personal top 5 for the day. Proof that the spotlight isn't always about the price tag.

Yesterday was one of those unicorn days in the auction world – the top 5 sales spanned across five different brands, a real rarity. Even more mind-blowing, the age range of these cars stretched from 1973 all the way to 2023. It’s wild to think cars that rolled off the line 50 years ago are still commanding big bucks today.

Quick mea culpa from my end – I goofed in yesterday’s roundup. Missed mentioning a couple of showstoppers that definitely deserved a spot in the top 5. Both gems were auctioned off by Sotheby’s Motorsport: a 2017 Ferrari F12berlinetta 70th Anniversary No. 28 that fetched $505k and a 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring 6-Speed that went for $283,500.

The Flip Game's Still Strong, Folks - Let's Talk 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach

So, just like we've been eyeing those Porsches, it seems the flip scene is alive and kicking. Take this: not one, but two 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissachs flying off the shelves on back-to-back days. One found its new home in the US for a cool $400,000, while its twin landed in Austria, just shy of the US price at $399,300.

This bit of sales sorcery underscores a bigger picture – buyers are sharp, dialed into the market's pulse, knowing exactly what they're willing to shell out. Despite a slight dip in prices from a spell ago, dealers and sellers are laughing all the way to the bank, pocketing north of $130k in profit on a ride that's as elusive as they come.

And what a ride it is. The GT3 RS Weissach isn't just any car; it's a beast dressed in elegance. It’s packed with all the bells and whistles. We're talking a 4.0-liter flat-six powerhouse, seven-speed PDK dual-clutch magic, and an electronically locking diff that's just the tip of the iceberg. The Weissach Package alone, with its LED headlights, rear swan-neck-hinged wing with DRS, and those jaw-dropping 20" and 21" forged magnesium center-lock wheels, screams luxury.

Bottom line? The flip game's more than just selling cars; it's about matching epic rides with those who dream of them. And in this game, both sides of the deal are scoring big wins.

Did you catch the epic sale yesterday? We're talking a legendary $379,000 handshake that brought together a legendary owner and a legendary car, creating a one-of-a-kind story. Yes, the 1973 Ferrari 246 Dino GTS, once owned by none other than Peter Grant of Led Zeppelin fame, found a new custodian.

This isn't just any car. It's a very rare right-hand drive 246 GTS, boasting matching numbers and a history intertwined with rock 'n roll royalty. Purchased new by Peter Grant, the man behind the world's biggest band at their peak, this Dino GTS is a tangible piece of music and automotive history. Accompanied by a treasure trove of documentation, including original correspondence with Maranello and the original logbook bearing Grant's name, it's a collector's dream.

Imagine, summer of '73, Zeppelin is tearing it up across North America, and Peter Grant decides it's time to match his towering industry presence with the "trendiest car in the world." He walks into HR Owen in Belgravia and walks out with this Dino GTS for £6,620.39. Talk about rockstar moves!

Now, as a massive Led Zeppelin fan myself, this sale hits a special chord. Thinking about the adventures, the stories, and the sheer rock 'n roll aura this car must have absorbed over the years sends shivers down my spine. It's not just a car; it's a piece of history that witnessed the zenith of Led Zeppelin's journey. The thought of it being a silent companion to the band, possibly even witnessing the creative processes of some of their legendary tracks, adds an ineffable value to its already illustrious legacy.

What makes this sale even more legendary? Beyond its celebrity provenance, this Dino has been lovingly maintained, receiving plenty of care over the years and reportedly driving "very well indeed." It's still decked out in its original Rosso Bordeaux paint, complemented by a black leather interior with red carpets, retrimmed to perfection.

Under the hood? A 2,418 cc DOHC V6 engine with 40 DCF14 Weber carburettors, paired with a five-speed all-synchromesh gated manual gearbox. It's a matching numbers example that sings as sweetly today as it likely did cruising past crowds of adoring fans in the '70s.

This car's story, from its rock 'n roll beginning to its meticulous care through the years, culminated in yesterday's legendary sale. For $379,000, someone just became the latest custodian of a piece of history that bridges the worlds of music and motoring like few others can.
