Mitt Romney has sold his oceanfront La Jolla home for $23.5 million.
The Utah senator, and former Republican presidential candidate, completed the sale June 30, according to the San Diego County Recorder’s Office.
A small part of American history, the home became an example of what opponents in the 2012 presidential election said was an example of Romney being out of touch as he attempted to build an elevator on the property for his cars.
The “car elevator” house was often tied to Romney’s opposition to the bailout of the auto industry during the Great Recession.

“The cars get the elevator, the workers get the shaft,” said former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm in one of the most often-quoted speeches from that time.
