Arrow It cost $16.39 million, did they say "Show me the CARFAX"?

"A 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa prototype sold for $14.9 million at the Gooding auction in Pebble Beach, Calif., last night. Adding in the buyers' premium, the final price is $16.39 million, setting a record for the most expensive car ever sold publicly."

My question is, before spending that kind of money, did they check the CARFAX on this beast. Its only burned to the ground twice and been totaled in a crash at the 1958 24 Hours of Le Mans, knowing all of that I wouldn't have gone over $12 million without an extended warranty and free floor mats.

There is no better return on investment than collectible cars. Not even gold comes close.......
