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.

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.
