Market commentary
Bid to $485,000 on the block and closed later at the same amount. The million-dollar Toyota 2000GT is a thing of the past, at least for now. This exact same car sold at RM's Monterey sale two years ago for the monumental price of $1,045,000. This and the 7-figure sale of a white example from the Don Davis collection in 2013 prompted other 2000GTs to come to market, but most have been in the mid to high six-figure range and the demand for these cars has settled down. This car hammered not sold at Gooding Scottsdale this year at a high bid of $620,000 and finally sold here for barely half of what it brought just two years ago. Those are two very expensive years of ownership.
