Each year we take a group of our readers behind the scenes at Bonhams’ Quail auction, and once again the field didn’t fail to impress—amazing examples of six- and seven-figure classics from all of our favorite brands. Not everything was out of price range, though, as the cool 1964 Pontiac Tempest wagon sold for $15,400. At Monterey, that’s the deal of the day.

The 1988 M5 sold for $48,400. It was mint. Crazy money or not? Remember when these were worth like a tenth of that?

Here's a link from the message board to the photo gallery.

Enjoy.

Does this mean clone M5s will start appearing?

It was mint, but it also had something like 85K miles on it. That's crazy money for a car with that much use. That said.....try to find another. People used those M5s--- it seems like most have 250K miles on them. That Tempest wagon was a steal at that price. It was very, very nice.

Didn't we build an M5 clone back in the day?
