Five days, $223.8 million. That’s the final tally from the classic and collector car auctions that concluded Sunday night in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The annual event draws hundreds of thousands of car fans who buy, sell and watch the auctions held by firms such as Barrett-Jackson, Gooding & Co. and RM Auctions. This year, the sales reflect a 21.7% increase from the $183.9 million in vehicles sold in 2012.

Notable sales include $4.6 million for the original George Barris Batmobile from the 1960s ABC TV series, and $1.1 million for the first production 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
