Default Surprised after work, wednesday

Left work and ran upon a trucker moving his 1.1 million dollar load around across from our shipping dept, so I stopped to slobb...ehh...visit and take a few shots. Also, a black and silver 67 or 68 GT500E Eleanor

He mentioned it was sold to someone in New York for around that amount. Rear tag indicated a dealer in Denver area. Beautiful car and it sounded sweet. One can dream,eh?

As a novice, I'd like to know what about this car makes it 350K rather than the 100-200K or so I usually see?

Default Just google it...

The lack of this version is what drives the price up. Only 182 produced for the US. 424 worldwide.

They are very lavish inside and out. More power than the TT. Paint to Sample and custom interior for each and every one.

You would really struggle to find a nice 993tts in today's market for under 250! I looked for a while and was really tempted on a black/black with 20k miles from a fellow rennlister. I doubt he would let it go for that money today?

Novice or not, I'm sure many will agree it's tough to understand in this crazy market that it commands easily over $150K vs. a non S, as pointed out in this sale.

As noted above your really paying for exclusivity and status. From a driving perspective, it's no where near that added premium.

Lawrence Stroll paid $27.5 million for a '67 Ferrari last year. Now that's crazy.......but if you bought it in '67 for $16k you'd be a financial wizard. Be interesting to see what these rare cars are worth when interest rates start to rise over the next few years.
