Any car people know what types of classic or exotic cars are great investments?

It is ridiculously crazy at some classic car values and how much they are fetching in today’s automotive markets. Who ever thought 🤔 a $3,000 1970 – 1971 Dodge Cuda Big Block can be worth several hundred thousand dollars. Who ever thought a $3,000 1950 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing would be worth over a million dollars today. There are Classic Cars like the old Ferrari 250, Ferrari Boxers, Ferrari Dino, Ferrari F40, FERRARI F50, Lamborghini Countach, Lamborghini Miura, 2005-2006 FORD GT, 2004-2005 Porsche Carrera GT, and many more cars that is worth six to seven figures. Look at the attached video.

This Addition Would Make a Car Worth $1.8 More 💰 🚗

When an automaker says only 400 cars made worldwide and there’s 500 VIN numbers, what’s up with that. Here’s a very informative video clip classic and exotic auto enthusiasts will find it very interesting. I think before watching the attached video clip, car makers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and others were legitimate when they produced limited production exotic and classic cars. The Ferrari Enzo is a high-performance supercar produced by the Italian automaker Ferrari. Here are some key features and details about the Ferrari Enzo:

1. Production: The Enzo was produced from 2002 to 2004, with only 400 units made, making it a rare and highly sought-after vehicle.

2. Design: Named after the company’s founder, Enzo Ferrari, the car’s design was inspired by Formula 1 technology. It features a carbon-fiber body, advanced aerodynamics, and a sleek, aggressive look.

3. Engine and Performance: The Enzo is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine, producing 651 horsepower. This allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in just 3.14 seconds and reach a top speed of 218 mph (351 km/h).

4. Transmission: It features a 6-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shifters, providing a rapid and precise gear-shifting experience.

5. Suspension and Brakes: The Enzo is equipped with state-of-the-art suspension and braking systems, including carbon-ceramic brakes, ensuring exceptional handling and stopping power.

6. Interior: The interior is focused on performance, with minimalistic design elements, racing seats, and a digital display providing essential driving information.

7. Legacy: The Ferrari Enzo is considered one of the most iconic supercars of its time, combining cutting-edge technology, exceptional performance, and exclusivity.

The Ferrari Enzo remains a symbol of Ferrari’s commitment to excellence in automotive engineering and design. However, if Ferrari says that they only made 400 Ferrari Enzo supercars, is this correct? What is up with the 500 VIN numbers? If this is true, this is huge international fraud. These cars are multi-million dollar super sportscars and the reason for such high value is due to the limited production numbers.

Too Good To Be True: Could This Reventón Be Real?! | Too Good To Be True: Could This Reventón Be Real?! | By VINwikiFacebook

Too Good To Be True: Could This Reventón Be Real?!

Are Ferrari GTB great investments for the future. I remember Gustan Cho telling me about the two classic Ferrari to invest in. The Ferrari Testarossa and the Ferrari 599 GTB.

Are early 1970s C-3 Convertible Corvettes great investments.

I think the C-8 Corvettes are hands down the best buy of the century. The C-8 Corvettes Corvertible are so sharp and priced for a fraction than its Italian exotic car countertparts. I really do not know what the price is on C-8 Corvettes but gave up looking for one because at one time, the C-8 corvette was selling $40,000 or more about its $70,000 msrp. Does anyone have any more information about the latest prices on the C-8 Corvettes? Are Corvettes a good investment?

I am a 1970 Cherry Red Chevy Camaro Convertible that has been stored in the back of a garage from the day I was purchased new. I cost $3,000 back in the day, the dream car of most red-blooded American boys. The young man who purchased me died in Vietnam later that year. The sadness I felt when I heard the news was overwhelming. He took me out only once, with his girlfriend, for a drive with my top down and four on the floor. We were the envy of everyone. It was a wonderful ride with James and Cathy; I can still hear their laughter. James had a hardy laugh. He thought about returning to his girlfriend and me with hopes of starting a new future. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always turn out the way we plan. I wonder what happened to Cathy?

His parents never got over their loss, and I was a painful reminder of their loving son. So, here I sat for 50 years. The parents thought many times of selling me. However, I was the last thing their son bought before being deployed. Both parents have passed, and my future is questionable. There are no grandchildren to pass the car on to, so I am being sold at an auction. I hear I’m worth a pretty penny.

James, my original owner, has a brother, Tom, who will handle the auction and the proceeds. He has mixed feelings about selling me. He’d rather keep me, but the old house and garage are being sold, and I have nowhere to go. The burlap tarp that covers me in the garage has kept me rust-free. I long to be started and hear the roar of my 350 cubic inches V8 engine with 375 horsepower. I need to blow out my carburetor and breathe life into me once again. I can go from zero to sixty in seven seconds and hit a quarter-mile in fifteen seconds at ninety-four miles per hour; not too shabby!

It will be a closed auction with bids submitted quietly. The highest bid will not necessarily win me. Tom is requesting a letter to accompany the silent bid. Tom wants me to go to a nice, caring family that will keep his brother’s memory alive. He doesn’t want me to be sold to a spoiled kid who will race me and never maintain me. I do not want to be pimped out with spoilers or painted racing stripes. I am a classic and should remain so!

Tom has received dozens of letters with bids; it will take some time to read and figure out who is who. One bid was $80,000! Can you believe that? However, the letter didn’t sit well with Tom; they wanted me for Hollywood. I’m from South Carolina; why would I want to go to Hollywood? They want to paint and repaint me according to the needs of the movie and race me in car chases. Tom declined the offer. Another bid was almost as high as $75,000, but the letter was from a rich guy who wanted to give me to his son for graduating high school. I don’t want any privileged kid owning me. High school kid, racing me with his pals, I don’t think so.

After reading a dozen or more letters, Tom was getting frustrated with the responses. One letter was totally absurd. They offered $3000, my purchase price. Are you serious! I’m worth 20 times that. Tom didn’t even read the letter; he just discarded it with the rest of the letters he felt didn’t meet the bill. Foolish man; he was 50 years old, not too well off with money, and wanted me, really? What use would he have for me, just showing off as he went through his mid-life crisis?

Another letter was a sob story of how a guy had the same car back in the day and felt he needed this car because it was owed to him. Tom had it with all these phony letters. He placed them all in a box and put them on my front seat. Where was I going? What was my future?

One letter fell from the box, it was the offer for $3000, which Tom never read. I noticed an old black and white photo of a young girl and baby boy. The boy’s name was James. Tom didn’t make the connection, well, not yet, anyway.

The silent auction went according to schedule, all the letters were read, and Tom was just about to make his decision when he noticed an older woman in the back of the room. She was accompanied by a man. I’d say the man was about 50 years old. Tom peered into the eyes of both of them and began to cry. The auction was momentarily stopped so Tom could compose himself. Tom raced back to me and opened the box of rejected letters. He rifled through the letters, and the black and white photo fell out. He stared hard and deep at the picture, the boy resembled his brother James, and the young girl was Cathy! His mind raced with thoughts of 50 years ago. Could this possibly be Cathy and his nephew!

The auction resumed, and Tom made his decision on who would take me home. He read the letter that he once quickly discarded:

Tom,

You may not remember me, I was James’ girlfriend Cathy back in 1970, and this is his son, James. My love for your brother never ceased. I kept my secret long enough. I didn’t want to burden your family. They were grieving too much. We were in love. The only time James and I road in the car was that one time. We vowed our love that day. I was three months pregnant when I heard he was killed in Vietnam. I was so lost that I even thought about an abortion. I needed a memory of my true love and kept his son. There is nothing left for my son to remember his dad. I’m an old lady now and raised James Jr. by myself. I’m not looking for money, just a memory.

Thank you,

Cathy

Tom began to cry. He was in total shock. He ended the auction by stating: We found the buyer! Everyone left after hearing who won. A frail woman was led by a middle-aged man to the podium from the back of the auditorium. Tom hugged and kissed Cathy as well as his nephew.

He gladly handed the keys over to her and refused the money for me. “This is the home for James’ Camaro.” As they opened my doors to enter and started to drive away, I felt I was born again; I could feel this spirit of James. I could almost hear his hardy laugh. He was alive within all of us.
