An Ohio real estate developer was the buyer of a 1957 Ferrari that sold for more than $35 million on Friday , according to people familiar with the sale.

Sources say Brian Ross, owner of Ross Development in Cortland, Ohio, was the winning bidder of the 1957 Ferrari 335 Sport Scaglietti that sold in Paris at an Artcurial Motorcars auction for roughly 32 million euros, or $35.7 million.

Ross didn't return a call for comment. According to his company's website, he founded Ross Development in 1989 to develop and manage commercial retail projects throughout the country.

Ross already has an enviable Ferrari collection — helped by the fact that he also owns a Ferrari dealership in Vancouver, British Columbia. Experts say he has about a dozen of the prized "prancing horse" brand cars in the plush garage of his home in Cortland.
