Guys,
I was told about a GT 40 that is being privately offered for 8 1/2 Million Dollars.
My question;
How many GT 40's are worth that kind of asking price ?
I know my friend George 's old #2 Black GT 40 sold>> reports I read, for over 20 Million last time around?
respectfully,
John
Its supply and demand. All original GT40s are unique and exclusive vehicles. Good luck on their sale

All GT-40s were raced at some point. The Le Mans winning cars are worth a treasure chove mega big bucks. The only versions that did not race (as I believe) were the 'street cars' GT-40 Mk III's. And some of the rarest with only 7 made(?).
I guess that the 8 1/2 million dollar price is fair then.
The car apparently is something quite special.
A World market car, way out of my and most car guys pay grade.

The term is "exclusive". That means it excludes most of us from ownership but if you really think about it, why do you want it except for it's exclusivity?
You can drive a current reproduction for a lot less and it is probably a better car then the original ever was AND save on the 2.5% yearly stated value insurance. It is gonna' come to a much smaller number.
That $212,000 comes up too fast for me. ;)

P1076 is owned by a friend of mine. I can assure you most of the guys trading GT40's (from the 1960's) won't ever spend the money they have, so why not own one? And if you've owned one long enough, it was probably just a couple million dollar purchase.

You made me smile, but in fact, that is very true.
That world the 1-5 % live in >>> is and will always be inclusive, as money talks.
