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. -- Posted by Hash Brownies at 8:48 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Quote: from Punkrocker 1992 at 4:40 am on Jan. 2, 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. -- Posted by MR UNKNOWN at 8:52 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Quote: from Ndskewll at 11:34 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 That's AWESOME.

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! -- Posted by 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........

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 -- Posted by DavaBass at 4:21 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 That is one beautiful car
