By Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNN Money

A 1967 Ferrari convertible sold for $27.5 million at an auction in Monterey, Calif., the highest price ever paid for a Ferrari at auction. In fact, it's the highest price ever paid for any road car at auction.
The car sold Saturday was a Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider. Powered by a 300-horsepower V12, this Ferrari is one of only ten such cars ever made. The buyer's identity was not revealed.

Not worth the money@ that price anyway. In 1981 I was down at Ferrari of Los Gatos and a gentleman approached me about purchasing his 275GTB short nose for 38K. I had just poured a foundation for a new house. I have about ten of these stories...I think we all do.

Tim, I second that. All cars looked better in 67.

And probably most of us, as well.

Chubby babies in diapers are not the most attractive. I peaked in the late 80s, and it has been downhill from there.
