This coming January, auction consignor Gooding & Company will host its annual Scottsdale, Arizona collector car sale. Among the highlights of 2020's event will be half a dozen notable Ferrari convertibles, some of them period icons, some of them coveted rarities, together valued as high as $8.3 million.

While the three least bank-breaking models (a [348](<https://www.thedrive.com/vintage/4475/an-insiders-look-at-the-coolest-group-b-ferrari-308-gtb-ever-made>) TS, a 308 GTS QV, and a 550 Barchetta) are worthy of mention, their combined estimated value of up to $700,000 makes them the minnows of this sale. Below are the collection's heavy hitters, which together boast an estimated value of as much as $7.6 million. Let's take a quick look at why each is worth big bucks.

## 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series II by Pininfarina

The [Ferrari 250](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31488/buyer-of-44m-1962-ferrari-250-gto-files-lawsuit-claiming-hes-owed-key-missing-part>)'s vast family tree branched in Pininfarina's direction four times—twice for coupes, twice for cabriolets. This 250 GT resulted from the latter run of soft-top 250s and featured a lightweight, 3.0-liter "Colombo" V12 that made it nimbler than almost anything produced at the turn of the decade. Only 212 are thought to have been made, and for those reasons, Gooding & Company forecasts a hammer price of between $1.3 million and $1.5 million for this Maranello masterpiece.

## 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" Spider

The Ferrari 365 GTB/4—unofficially known as the [Daytona](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/26225/chasing-simon-pagenaud-around-daytona-in-a-2019-acura-nsx-is-the-best-kind-of-terrifying>)—may share a body style, Pininfarina origins, and the "Colombo" V12 (in 4.4-liter guise) with the 250 above, but this is less of a sports car and more a purpose-built grand tourer. Known to most as the hero car in early seasons of *Miami Vice*, this Daytona has secondhand film industry provenance of its own, courtesy of its past ownership by filmmaker Sydney Pollack. His films aren't well-remembered today, but his car is: It's expected to sell for between $2.2 million and $2.5 million.

## 1995 Ferrari F50

Built to commemorate Ferrari's semicentenary, the F50 was said to have been designed as a road-legal approximation of a Formula 1 car. Those who have driven one don't seem to agree with Maranello on that matter, but that didn't bar the F50 from becoming a benchmark supercar and a milestone Ferrari. Just 349 were built, only 55 of which were sold in the United States, and this example is expected to command a hammer price in accordance with its rarity, between $3.2 million and $3.5 million. That's not to say it couldn't blow its estimate out of the water, [like a Ferrari FXX-K did last month](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31298/two-ferrari-race-cars-and-a-one-off-pagani-zonda-bring-17-7m-at-auction>).
