When it comes to buying cars, apparently the sky's the limit.

RM Sotheby's (formerly RM Auctions) recently celebrated its 40th birthday in Chatham-Kent, the Canadian town where it started almost half a century ago. During that time there have been some some crazy prices paid for cars on its auction floors.
This1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is the most expensive car ever sold at an auction. It sold for a stunning $48 million. The sale was part of a Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance held By RM Auctions in California in August 2013:


This 1968 Ford GT40 Gulf/Mirage was the first car to roll out of the assembly line in 1968. It was snapped up for a record $11 million in 2012:
