Top 10: Most Expensive Classic Cars Number 10 1956 Ferrari 860 Monza -- $2.5 million Number 9 1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza Spider Corsa -- $2.53 million Number 8 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster -- $3.63 million Number 7 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 -- $4.07 million Number 6 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe -- $4.4 million Number 5 1932 Alfa Romeo Tipo B -- $5.6 million Number 4 1962 Ferrari 330 TRI/LM -- $6.5 million Number 3 1931 Type 41 Bugatti Royale -- $8.7 million Number 2 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO -- $16.6 million The beauty of the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is that it's a combination of road and racecar. The shape favors aerodynamics while boasting a sexiness that is welcome on the streets. But it's definitely a racecar first and foremost, and requires constant attention, funds and repairs. The engine, which can produce up to 300 horsepower, established Ferrari as the racing champion of the world. The interior of the 250 GTO is plain; there isn't even carpeting. But with only 40 models made, it's one of the most rare Ferraris in the world. A British garage held on to the one it had acquired cheaply in the '70s and sold it to a Japanese businessman in 1990 for $16.6 million. Number 1 1954 Mercedes W 196 -- $24 million The holy grail of racing cars, it was introduced at the 1954 French Grand Prix at Reims, and went on to dominate Formula 1 racing for both the 1954 and 1955 seasons. What made the automobile so special was its revolutionary valve system, which utilized positive control without having to resort to springs. This car was raced by legendary drivers Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss before ending up in a museum in the 1980s. The car was sold for a couple of millions to finance renovations at the museum, and sold again in 1990 to a French industrialist for $24 million. A German businessman is currently the owner; he reportedly paid less then half the amount in the late '90s.

Most Expensive Cars in the World
This isn't actually the top ten list of the most expensive cars. That would basically be a bunch of Ferraris, Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and only a few other makes. So instead here are the highest-dollar cars of each of ten carmakers (no manufacturer got two slots). 2003 Ferrari Enzo Coupe - $643,330 Saleen S7 - $395,000 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible - $363,990 Bentley Azure Convertible Mulliner - $376,485 Lamborghini Murciélago - $273,000 Aston Martin Vanquish - $228,000 Porsche GT2 - $180,665 BMW Z8 - $130,645 Mercedes-Benz CL 600 - $119,595 Jaguar XKR 100 Coupe and Convertible - $99,330

So, you're saying that spending a ton of dough on the most expensive is happiness? You'd want to live in Tokoyo , drive an Enzo Coupe, have a '54 Mercedes w196 as your collector car, send your brats to Landmark College, etc.? Would this mean you've "arrived"? Gimme a break here. I promise guys, my last post on this thread...

The Chrysler produced 9 Tomahawks to be sold through Neiman Marcus for $555k a piece. They weren't sold as street legal, so I don't know if that counts, but they were 100% fully functional bikes.
