2. 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Spider by Touring – $19,800,000
This restored and customized Alpha Romeo was considered rare enough to sell for nearly $20 million dollars. Never mind that the chassis and body might not be original to the car, and that at some point its frame was adjusted to put in a Chevy V-8. This sale set a price record for pre-World War II cars at auction.
