The World’s most impressive Car Collections

Phil & Martha Bachman’s  Ferrari Collection 🇺🇸

The Ultimate Guide to the Phil Bachman Ferrari Collection: All 48 Cars Sold at Mecum Kissimmee 2026 🇺🇸🇮🇹🏆

The Phil and Martha Bachman Ferrari Collection stands as one of the most iconic single-owner Ferrari assemblages ever dispersed, shattering 19 world auction records and totaling a staggering $125 million (including 10% buyer’s premium) at Mecum’s Kissimmee 2026 event on January 17, 2026 🔥💰. Built over 40+ years by Tennessee car dealer Phil Bachman (1937-2025), who averaged one Ferrari acquisition per year starting in 1984 with a yellow 308 GTS Quattrovalvole, the collection emphasized rarity, preservation, and passion 🏎️💛. Bachman, a Distinguished Judge in the Ferrari Club of America and FXX Programme participant, prioritized last-of-production examples (often final U.S.-spec or off-the-line models), factory deliveries, ultra-low mileage (many under 1,000 miles or delivery-only), museum-level condition, and his signature Giallo Modena yellow hue on most commissioned cars 🎨.

All 46 Ferraris plus 2 Alfa Romeos sold at no reserve in a “white-glove” offering, drawing global bidders and redefining Ferrari market values for pristine, single-owner provenance 📈. Proceeds benefited The Phil and Martha Bachman Foundation. Below is a comprehensive list of all 48 lots (based on pre-auction catalogs from FerrariChat forums and Mecum), with confirmed sold prices where available (total including premium; EUR approx. at ~0.8426 rate: 1 USD ≈ €0.8426 💶). For top halo models, prices shattered records; mid-tier cars fetched strong $100K–$2M+ results, contributing to the $125M haul. I’ve included maximum facts: year, model, s/n (VIN/chassis), mileage, color, key features/provenance (e.g., customizations, concours wins, last-built status), and embedded links to sources/videos. Emojis and flags highlight themes: 🇮🇹 for Italian heritage, 🚀 for performance icons, 🏆 for records.
