    I guess socialism is a bummer..inflation is so high a loaf of bread cost $32!
    Not that I would take advantage of a bad situation but i wonder if any classic car owners are trying to sell their cars before they go broke. I saw a You Tube vignette that showed a Dino there a few years back--I am presuming in the days of glory in the '50s lots of exotic cars went there. Anybody been there lately?

    Like in every Socialist Utopia, the elite/connected who own them aren't really affected like the rest of the population.

    Venezuela was the country in the 50´s and 60´s with the most Ferrari and exotic cars (like the Mercedes gullwing it was the country with the most of them) per capita in the world.
    There quite a lot classic cars still in here and pleanty of them have already been ship out of the country.

    I'd love to have a Gullwing to keep forever, but I figure most have left the country as you say or at least are priced accordingly to global prices. Probably no deals to be had. :( If there are, please let me know! Blue on tan Gullwing with blue wheels is my dream...just like this one: https://www.motor1.com/news/136634/mercedes-benz-300-gullwing-auction/

    Don’t count on it. Friend of friend knows several people well connected there. Most if not all moved all their assets to Miami
