    I'm sure whoever purchased that GTO is regretting having paid so much back in 70/71 considering how cheap they are today!

    It is s/n 5573 which ended-up with Bardinon. The story of the transaction--Kirk White, crash and eventual sale--is a quite a tale.

    I know Kirk got it for only $5800. Any idea what he sold it for? I know one of the GTO64's went to England for around 25-28k US in Spring 74

    I'll see if I can find out what the number was. It was a messy, litigious deal, perhaps Marcel can offer his take on it?

    The R&D costs into creating a time machine might actually be cheaper than a GTO! My favorites are the ads from the early 50s, with Duesenbergs being offered at $500 to $2000. By 1970, when GTO's were under $10k, the Duesenbergs were $25k to $60k, so p-erhaps it would be most logical to go to 1950, get a Duesey, go forward 20 yrs, sell it, and buy a fleet of Ferraris!

    Thank you so much for posting all of these ads. This is a virtual treasure trove of information/data. The fact that you include the source and date is just astounding.

    Makes one wonder, how did you come upon all of this - have you been personally tracking this info for decades?

    TBH, no. I'm only 27, and really only began tracking collector car prices in 2006. Hard to say what brought me into it, or to the mania level I've taken it to, I just find observing speculation of once overlooked/underrated subjects fascinating and keep a similar library for other marques, as well as for real estate and coins. I have access to online newspaper databases and have been lucky enough to get the literature very cheaply, often free. The closet I store my magazines in has stacks that reach the ceiling. Unlike 99.9% of the ppl here, I find it perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the Ferrari universe, perhaps because ownership is well beyond my means, at least for now.

    When I bought my 330 GTC (Back in 2009) I spoke to one of the early owners. They were just used cars in the 1970's (Reflected by the prices you see) and were out of favor.

    In 1980, I bought a new 308 GT4. At that time, I could have gotten a Lusso, 330 GTC or other earlier car for about 50% of what I paid. But, just like today, why would you want an old car--when you can buy one "brand new".

    The articles are wonderful--We all appreciate your time & effort here !!

    Best wishes,
    Ken Goldman

    May have some duplicates here, but here are some things you could have bought in 1980 for around the price of a new 308gt4 (ouch!):

    330GTS...my dream car! For $10K +/- in 1975! Who knew? I was graduating high school at the time, and back then my interest was in more plebian Mustangs and Shelbys. Later, in the early 80s, I bought a nice, low mile 1974 Pantera for $15K. Little did I realize at the time that I could have had an Enzo era Ferrari for similar money. Or a Cobra. Of course, that was all the money in the world back then... :) Still have that Pantera though!

    I attended the first Christies sale at the Montagu museum(now the national motor museum UK) .There was a GT40,one of the street legal cars produced by Ford Advanced Vehicles. One owner,Von Karajan,conductor of the Berlin Philamonic. 66 reg,Blue mink,9K miles. It is 1973. I wanted that car !However,a month before the sale I had bought a nice three bedroom detached house in our local village for £11250. The GT40 hammer was £10K,so 11 with commission. The house now ,I guess around £350K. The GT40 ? Priceless.

    Actually, this is probably my favorite thread on F-chat.
    Thank you.
    All I need is a time machine.
