Thank you for your comments.
It's not he most expensive but we're pretty lucky in Santa Barbara to see the light green $35 mil 250 GTO driving around town from time to time - very cool sight.
I wonder about some of the cars that are unlikely to be for sale any time soon; like the 166 MM Chinetti drove to win the '49 LeMans; or 5893, the 250LM that was the last Ferrari ever to win LeMans (now in the Indy 500 museum and in highly original condition). Can you imagine the value of Phil Hill's 156 sharknose if the Factory had not scrapped it?
Why wouldn't a 159/166 eventually climb the ranks in value? I can see the 250 GTO maintaining its spot because of race heritage, rarity, beauty and sheer notoriety, but would think over the longer-term that very early, extreme low production road cars would also start to climb as first examples?
Nothing will ever surpass the 1960's era cars because of the 'artisan/craftsman' production method combined with a specific 'telos' ie racing. Mass production for the purpose of conspicuous consumption by nouveu rich will never have value over the long haul. God made tools, the devil machines.
