Replies DavaBass Posted at 4:21 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 That is one beautiful car MrRight Posted at 10:30 am on Jan. 3, 2009 No there not, its getting auctioned off for $4.5 mill or more. But only 17 were ever made, and when it's cleaned up and auctioned in Paris next month, experts believe it will fetch at least 3 million pounds ($4.3 million) and possibly much more. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090103/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_supercar ScoobyDoo82 Posted at 2:16 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Well thats stupid, they're not selling the car, they're putting it under the hammer  :( wtflolzers99 Posted at 11:50 am on Jan. 2, 2009 you would be better off investing the money than buying a car and letting it sit IMPALA Posted at 11:02 am on Jan. 2, 2009 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations whrocky5092 Posted at 9:22 am on Jan. 2, 2009 id take a toyota vampie888 Posted at 1:08 am on Jan. 2, 2009 Damn thats nice. dreblex Posted at 12:10 am on Jan. 2, 2009 Quote: from ss454 at 9:56 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Quote: from dreblex at 11:35 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 you mean 4.35 million dollars........

Just some old dude happened to die and have a old car worth $4.3 million in his garage.   I know!   Makes me think, if I lock up something nice, say a corvette.. and leave it in my garage till I'm 80 odd, how much will it be worth?   heh.. not such a bad idea... I was thinking the same thing with my average '89 Ford Tempo. Thing is, both Corvette and Tempo sold in huge numbers where as there were only 17 Bugatti Type 57S made. Still though, you have to imagine that any current car will be worth a decent sum of money in the next 70-100 years. Sorry, but people aren't gonna pay shit for a Tempo. In 70, 90, 100 years you never know. ss454 Posted at 10:00 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 This sure does beat the 2.2 million dollar Cuda Convertible. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/20/2007-rm-auction-scottsdale-hemi-cuda-convertible-brings-2-2/ ss454 Posted at 9:57 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Quote: from Punkrocker 1992 at 11:40 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Quote: from Hash Brownies at 8:38 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Quote: from Punkrocker 1992 at 4:36 am on Jan. 2, 2009 Stories like these are insane.

A lot of cars are available in low-production trim levels or packages, but that just adds exclusivity. I figure it will be cars like the Southern 358, Ford GT, Ford Thunderbird, cars that sold in incredibly low numbers (under 1,000) for only a few years. The is the Roush BlackJack Mustang that is only being produced to a level of 100 cars, but that car is only an aftermarket version of a stock model that sells hundreds of thousands a year. LOL build an underground car park, store about 10 rare cars in there, and by time your dead you'll have made enough money to set your kids, and their kids up for life!
