This car was thought to be a Grand Prix racer that went on to win the Indie 500. The Bonhams’ Bothwell Collection sale recently took place, where the 1914 Peugeot L45 Grand Prix Two-Seater was one of the most expensive sales ever made, especially for an Indianapolis Roadster. The money was well spent when you consider the historical significance.

Ever since the 40's, This Peugeot was known as the vehicle Dario Resta operated during his victory at the 1916 Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. It wasn't until recently, nearly 100 years later, was it discovered that this was actually the car that Ralph Mulford was driving when he took third place that year.

During that time, the winner of the Indianapolis 500 would be rewarded $20,000 (about $355,000 In today's money).Now in the current day, a car that hadn't even won said race is being sold for $7.25 Million.

Most vehicles at this even sold around the tens of thousands range, with a few special cases spiking up towards 1 million dollars. This goes to show that no matter how powerful and advanced you make a car, it cant beat the value of history.
