A rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO became the most-expensive car ever sold at auction when it went for $48.4 million at an RM Sotheby’s event in Monterey, Calif., on Saturday. The red coupe is one of just 36 that were made, each slightly unique.

It has an impressive racing pedigree, with a national championship and several major wins under its seatbelts during its competitive career in the 1960s and has been a fixture on the historic racing circuit. Incredibly, unlike most racing cars, it has never been wrecked and repaired.

$18,000 in 1962 = $105,202 in 2018

Per inflation calculator
