We hope this was for his kid…

When someone affluent dies and their heirs put an impressive lifetime car collection up for auction, it usually causes a big stir. RM Sotheby’s rightly counted on that late last month when it hosted the late Gene Ponder’s collection auction. However, the auction house might not have anticipated a Ferrari bed included as one of the lots would snatch some big cash.

Granted, this car-themed furniture didn’t pull down six figures, before you start fantasizing wildly, but it did snag way more than we would’ve thought. When the dust settled, someone actually shelled out $5,000 for it, which is just astounding. We also really hope it was purchased for a child and isn’t going to be used by a short adult, but one never knows.

Ponder had a thing for Ferraris, including the factory Scuderia Ferrari race team, so it’s not entirely shocking the Texas kitchen cabinet mogul owned this bed. We don’t know if he used it personally or was enjoyed by his grandkids, or perhaps was just décor in a Ferrari-themed room. Maybe the man, who certainly had excellent business sense, could tell the collectable would be worth a few thousand one day.
