Most valuable Ferrari?

as far as vintage Ferrari's go, a 250GTO is really not that rare...

 

$35 M actually

 

true...I would actually be very curious as to the value of Napolis' 002C, not implying that it is the most valuable, but just curious as it is documented as the earliest Ferrari car still in existance.

 

002 should probably be more accurately be described as the oldest Ferrari in its original build. This distinguishes it from the allegations that 010 and 020 are factory recycles of 01C and 02C.

I agree that 002 is highly desireable as the oldest. Apparently the marketplace does not value it as highly as a 250 GTO or the one remaining true P4.

Like Marcel, I love 6885. If it ever becomes available it will be interesting to see who all lines up with cash in fist to get it.

After PB 2011 & Julio's thread, I am weary of anything GTO related:

How about these 3?

Chinetti Le Mans 166MM

Schumacher F2004 (whichever chassis won the most races)

& drumroll .....


Whatever Ferrari Kim Kardashian is sitting in....

Perhaps a another way of asking the original question is what Ferrari would you swap the one in your garage for?

For me that would be a 250 Lusso (or SWB/GTO) though I would seiously consider a RHD F40

 

Disagree. 6885 is totally unique and can not seriously be compared to cars of that "group of 3". Start with the bodywork comparison, continue with the technical specs and go on with the history, then you will find out.

It's "Tifosi" (with one letter "s" only, please). And "Tifosi" is plural anyway, so it would have to be "Tifoso" (singular). Sorry, for being so pedantic.

Would it be inappropriate if I suggested "The one in my garage (or my friends that I get too drive)"?

Sorry its late.

 

Imagine there is SN#001. And there is only one of them.

You just do not know what's out there.

 

Don´t think so. Those cars are sold through and run by the Corse Clienti department and as memory serves me right, they don´t come close to GTO-money.

 

I agree with many here. The most valuable Ferrari is the one I get to drive.

 

Most valuable would be the F2012, several $100 mil invested to produce just 5-6 cars and you cant buy one for all the money in the world.

 

No where near that kind of money. An F2004 (schumacher chassis) was sold for 4.6MM. I would agree that if Preston Henn's S/N 6885 would bring a very large sum if brought to market right now, but I don't know if it would bring bigger money than 4219GT or 3987GT if Ralph hadn't over restored it.

 

If I ever need pricing on these I will call you guys first. ; ) With Smiles, David

 

There is, of course, a difference between ´valuable´ and ´expensive´. But you´re right, translated to marketprices, a modern F1 car would have to fetch ten´s of millions of dollars.

 

It remains questionable indeed. The assumption that 6885 would be the most valuable Ferrari, is based upon rational arguments, such as it Le Mans-winning history and rarity. The market however, is far from rational, which is exactly what is reflected in 250 GTO-prices. And as long as there are more than 36 people in the world willing to part with 15 million dollars (at least) in order to own a 250 GTO, ANY 250 GTO, these cars will remain to top the list.

 

So if the 250 GTO is generally considered the most valuable Ferrari, what model or models would be considered the second most valuable Ferrari?

250 TR
250 SWB
250 California
365 P PF Special

-F

 

IMO 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 chassis # 0856, followed closely by the 412 P's (no specific order).

 

That sounds about right.

What about the street cars?

What would 250 LM s/n 5995GT fetch for instance (a stradale LM)?

 

That's a lot of money.

 

Just wait a year or two - the F2012, with the hideous stepped nose, will not bring anywhere near the money the prior F1 cars do!

 

Marcel,
This is a fabulous car. Mr. Henn is a competitor with us at HSR and is a great guy. I raced for many years in HSR and raced a lot against Charlie Kolb in his B8 Chevron. What a driver. Chassis 6885 was driven by Charlie in Nassau where he won outright. I had a number of opportunities to talk with him about that. He described the car as one of the best he ever drove. He's gone now but certainly not forgotten by those of us fortunate to have competed against him and enjoyed his after race companionship. Great car and great guy.

I agree with you on that car as well.

 

I know I am late to this party, but I believe that if one of the original P3s came up that it may bring 250 GTO type money.

According for Forbes (yesterday) there are 1226 billionaires ($)...

 

Maybe will be the 250 TR.
