1956 Jaguar D-Type at Gooding & Company - Click above for high-res imageYou can only attend so many auctions in the same day, so unfortunately we couldn't make it over to the Gooding & Company auction held in Scottsdale yesterday. We missed some pretty incredible cars go up for sale, though, especially this gorgeous 1956 Jaguar D-Type that sold for $3.74 million. The car has an impressive racing history in the United States that includes podium finishes at Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, Palm Springs, Riverside, Paramount Ranch and Pomona. This D-Type was among three cars that broke the million dollar mark; a 1934 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe ($1.815 million) and a 1959 Costin Lister Jaguar Sports Racer ($1.1 million) being the other two. In a generous act, Gooding & Company also donated a portion of its $15 million in total sales to the International Response Fund of the American Red Cross to help the relief efforts in Haiti. Hit the jump for full details about Gooding & Company's 2010 Scottsdale auction.[Source: Gooding & Company]Continue reading 1956 Jaguar D-Type brings $3.74 million at Gooding & Company auction1956 Jaguar D-Type brings $3.74 million at Gooding & Company auction originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 23 Jan 2010 12:37:00 EST.
