A simply gorgeous 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider has sold for $18.045 million at a recent sales event hosted by Gooding & Company.

Every Ferrari model from the 1960s with the number ‘250’ in its name is special and the SWB California Spider is no different. It was produced with the U.S. market in mind and initially built in long-wheelbase guise on the same chassis as the 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta and Series I Cabriolet. Ferrari then re-engineered it with its short-wheelbase chassis.
