SfanGoch Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Must be nice to have a spare 70 million simoleons laying around. Ferrari 250 GTO sells for world record £52 million - Here’s why it is worth so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurfalien Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi, That's a real handsome car. I wonder if it will continue to be in public now and again or disappear from the surface of this planet. I'm thinking the latter which would be a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 That price is crazy. I don't care what anyone says, no car is worth that much money. If I had Richard Branson money, I'd buy cars like that, and then tick off the automotive snobs by driving it. Not abusing it, but driving it constantly. Racking up miles, taking it to autocross track days, basically doingh what it was intended to do. Man...that would annoy so many people.

They are meant to be driven enthusiastically, not entombed in some climate controlled garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J. Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Racing pedigree, recent high end restoration, one of 34 built and it's a Ferrari. Only thing that could make it better is if the original colour was red. Yup, I can see it going that high. Imagine what the GT-40 number P1046 would sell for if it came up for auction. That would be 8 or pushing 9 digits easily. People or institutions that collect at this level are just something we will never understand. I heard from a reliable source(Lee Holman of Holman & Moody) that you could buy one of their GT-40s in 1970 for $3,000 each if you bought two. Thats about what I paid for my 240Z in 72.

unclescott58 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 My favorite Ferrari. (Not that particular car. But all '62 and '63 GTOs.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Cars like this are considered to be fine art investments like some of the goofy Picassos and the like. I saw last week where a pair of Levis from the early 20th Century sold for over $100,000. If you watch Antiques Road Show on PBS, you would just shake your head at the prices some stuff is valued at.

MrObsessive Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 This is not only one of my favorite Ferraris, but also one of my favorite '60's road racers! At that price however, I'll have to be content with just the models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick with my '93 turbo. Just rebuilt the engine and replaced anything that was worn with OEM parts. New upholstery and replaced the t top seals. I have essentially a brand new car. Oh and it is fast enough to get me into all the trouble I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always loved cars from the mid '80s to the mid '90s, they made the best sports car in that period. Cars made nowadays may be faster but they pretty much drive by themselves. I really don't get cars that are undriveable without all those electronic gadgets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoRover007 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I mean it’s definitely an all time beauty but 52 million would get me every car I ever wanted and pretty much anything else. Ferrari F50, 993 GT2, Mk4 Supra, NSX NA1, Ferrari 360, Aston Martin DB11, Porsche 918, XJ220, 96 Viper GTS, 01 Diablo VT, and brand spankin new Tacoma with all the gear I want. Literally all mine and a mansion in mountain of NC and all the hobby tools I’d ever need. Then I’d throw money at Tamiya to make all the kits I want. Still probably under 52 million for an old and dated car. sorry to derail the thread with my pipe dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
