    Ferrari Dominates Mecum Kissimmee 2026: $38.5 Million 250 GTO and the Bachman Collection Steal the Show

    Historic prices, ultra-low-mileage Ferraris, and the Bachman Collection define Mecum Kissimmee 2026, with one full day of bidding still to come.

    We expected plenty of action from Mecum’s Kissimmee 2026 auction, and even with one full day of bidding still to come, the sale has already delivered historic results. Between January 6 and January 17, multiple eight-figure sales were firmly on the board, led by a $38.5 million Ferrari 250 GTO, a result that places it among the most expensive cars sold at auction and positions Kissimmee 2026 as one of the most consequential auctions in Mecum history.

    Ferrari’s dominance at the top of the leaderboard has been unmistakable. The undisputed headline lot, a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO finished in Bianco Speciale, crossed the block at $38.5 million, with the top bid placed by noted Ferrari collector David Lee. 

    We highlighted Chassis 3729GT in October last year, as the only 250 GTO finished in white by Ferrari. With a period competition history that includes drivers such as Graham Hill, Mike Parkes, and Roy Salvadori, the result reinforced the premium placed on originality, provenance, and preservation at the highest level.

    Beyond the GTO, the Bachman Collection emerged as the dominant force across the remainder of the top ten so far. We highlighted the breadth of this collection in late December, followed by a deep dive into its ultra-low-mileage Ferrari F40s ahead of Kissimmee.

    The strongest Bachman result came from a 2003 Ferrari Enzo showing just 649 miles, ordered new by the family and customized through the factory, saw fierce bidding, eventually selling for $17.875 million. That was followed closely by a 1995 Ferrari F50 with only 252 miles at $12.21 million, reinforcing demand for Ferrari’s flagship V12 era cars when mileage and provenance align.

    Modern halo Ferraris continued to post blue-chip numbers. The only Ferrari Enzo finished in Rosso Dino brought $11.11 million, while a 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta with just 96 miles sold for $11 million. The Bachman Collection also accounted for an $8.525 million Rosso Corsa 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO, a 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari with 157 miles on the clock, as well as the final U.S.-spec LaFerrari produced at $6.71 million, a 458-mile 1992 Ferrari F40 at $6.6 million, and a Giallo-finished 2006 Ferrari FXX at $6.325 million.

    Ford’s GT40 lineage provided the lone non-Ferrari interruption at the top. A 1966 Ford GT40 MkII factory lightweight, chassis XGT-3 and one of just three produced, sold for $12.375 million, representing one of the most original MkII examples in existence. Another record sale on Friday was a 1-of-1 PTS Porsche 918 Spyder that crossed the block at $6.05 million.

    As previously mentioned, with one full day of bidding still ahead, Mecum Kissimmee 2026 is not finished writing its story. But even before the final gavel falls, Ferrari’s dominance, led overwhelmingly by the 48-strong Bachman Collection, has already defined this auction.
