    To all the people complaining about how someone paid 40 million for a car you need to understand that to someone who has billions of dollars that amount of money is nothing. Second, this isn't 'some car that was made 50 years ago'... this is a fucking Ferrari 250 GTO. Everyone is into different things, but to genuine car lovers these old treasures are priceless. They don't buy them to show off (maybe a little) they buy them because they always dreamed about them as children and the feel of the cockpit and the engine roaring beside their feet is enough to give them an orgasm. If I had billions of dollars fuck yeah I would spend it on this car, and I wouldn't stop there either. I would buy as many classic supercars from the 50's 60's and 70's that I could afford and drive them on my private racetrack every day.

    I saw this very car racing in the early 80s, battling it out with lightweight E-types and an even more rare Aston DB4 Zagato. They were really going for it, proper racing that was. I remember the track speaker going mad that the GTO owner, Fabrizio Violati, actually raced a car worth that much. He mentioned the equivalent of about 3 million dollars. Imagine that! I also remember much debate about its engine capacity. Reportedly, it had (has?) a 4 litre engine, as opposed to the correct 3 litre. I didn't care, I just enjoyed it being raced to the max.

    Believe it or not, in 1970, the very first GTO was for sale in York, Pa. Asking price $7000! I owned a Bizzarrini and went to see the car. Verified the serial number, and a blank check in hand. The owner refused my offer, saying someone had put down a deposit on the car. So...I never got it, and with current values, how would you insure it, and where would you drive it?
    B/T/W, my Bizzarrini, the last made before the company went belly up, is now in Austria. Bought from a German dealer for $886,000!

      Dan Raven Back then, it was owned by the late George Sterner, who lived near Longstown Hill in East York. Somewhere, I have photos of it. Just viewing those six twin Webers atop the engine was a hoot!
      My interest in that car was simple. Giotto Bizzarrini engineered the GTO and, of course, the ISO A3/Bizzarrini GT Strada.

    People complaining about spending this kind of money when 'people are starving...' don't have any idea what they're talking about. It took someone making around 80 million to have the half (or less if he's French) the government allowed him to keep to spend on this car. The rest went to welfare and who knows what waste. Then he has to pay taxes on THIS purcahse. The car is an investment and when he sells it he'll AGAIN have to pay taxes that go back into the economy. Then, when he dies, the government (at least in the US) will take HALF of his wealth again (so the government essentially owns half of this car) and leave the rest to his estate of who knows how many kids, grandkids and perhaps endowments. Yeah, it's much better the guy never made any money so none of that could have happened. Or maybe he should have just held onto it and not brought it back into the economy. Idiots.

      +David Shaw Whine, whine, whine. Most of what you say is complete nonsense. "or less if he's French" is the first clue, as that comes out of the blue.
      "The rest went to welfare and who knows what waste." Actually less than a half percent goes to welfare. What waste? Well, if you consider infrastructrure, sewage, power, clean water, schools, hospitals, police departments, fire departments, courts of law, teachers and everything that keeps a country running a "waste" then by all means try living without all that. They don't come for free you know.
      There's also this small detail that the armed forces are financed by taxes, that and the expensive equipment they use. Is that a "waste" too or are you going to whine about a few percent going to alms for the often hard-working?
      What you're saying is also bs because the wealthy in the US have lenient taxes compared to other developed nations. Fact is most of the taxes are payed by the 80%. If anything you should complain what *they* have to pay compared to what they get over to survive on. Prat.
      Whoever told you that the government takes half of somebody's wealth either is a nutcase or a fool.
      Now kindly get lost and don't ever show your ignorant face here ever again.

      +David Shaw +TheIronDuke W. I was going to comment on the exact same line as you but, given you replied so well, I'll simply quote you and add, "Exactly!" Evangelical libertarians should go live in Somalia or some other stateless area if they want to know what pure freedom from gov't looks like after a time - it ain't the let's-shake-on-it club fantasy imagined. For Christ's sake - literally? - the libertarians cannot even shake hands among themselves given their own division between Jesus-Gun Nutters and Satanic-Sex Nutters. (The latter are definitely more fun to party with.) Hence the need for Mom to decide a few things for the kiddies:
      >>The rest went to welfare and who knows what waste.
      >Actually less than a half percent goes to welfare. What waste? Well, if you consider infrastructure, sewage, power, clean water, schools, hospitals, police departments, fire departments, courts of law, teachers and everything that keeps a country running a "waste" then by all means try living without all that. They don't come for free you know.
      >>Then, when he dies, the government (at least in the US) will take HALF of his wealth again
      Mr. Shaw and anyone in favor of meritocracy should perhaps want even MORE taxed and redistributed after the funeral. You don't want one of those nasty little "aristocracies" to develop over time do you? One where Little Trump is a walking definition of "dumba-- dbag" yet trumps whipsmart Little Mayweather only because some dead person (Big Trump) did so well for himself it would take generations to blow it all on coke or Swedish supercars.
      However, at the same time as Mr. Shaw is unable to decipher the basics of how states operate because too busy masturbating to The Collective's secret inner circle photos of Alan Greenspan's initiation, when forced to perform cunnilingus on Ayn Rand - argh, just typing that made me severely queasy, as well as Rand's shockingly hirsute appearance in those photos -, those asking if a car is really worth $38 million, or using the price as a point against inequality, are equally preoccupied with partisanship (or perhaps preferentially preoccupied picking parsnips 5 times fast?)
      What is the worth of anything? Easy: exactly what people are willing to pay for it, money being the universal medium of exchange. If not "worth it", then this car won't resell for that much again and the buyer foolishly overestimated it's worth. We'll see, but I doubt he did given they aren't creating any more and a revaluation of all values, powered by whatever will powers it, will not wipe away the horizon any time soon. (You see, I try to include lots of fun insider references for the poor but smart people. And irony.)
      And as a demonstration of grotesque inequality, which I assume is the point of many: this has to be one of the more obscure, tangential and irrelevant events one could use in that argument. This isn't ostentatious living or decadent waste in the least; it's the exact opposite, it's entirely an investment, saving. He, or a group more likely, could equally have invested in a building, or the lies of Steve Jobs, or anything else, but classic cars have done extremely well as investments, hence the purchase.
      However, if you ever see Ayn Rand out with a boy band, disheveled in a low-cut Dior cocktail dress pulled up over her waist, no underwear - oddly hirsute, isn't she? - then later smashing champagne glasses out the window of a GTO zigzagging down Broadway, OK, f- 'em. Hang the rich.

    $38 million.
    $38 fucking million.
    Are cars really worth this much? I mean REALLY WORTH this much? Or is this just the 1% of the world flexing their muscles?
    My number one love in life is cars. I have a poster of a 62 250 GT SWB California on my wall. But I just can't seem to justify spending $38 million dollars on a 50 year old novelty when, for lack of a better cliche, people are starving in our _own_ country. Never mind the millions in others.

      If i had this car i wouldnt even sell it for 40 million dollars, since small my passion is cars and these historic Ferrari gems are priceless IMO, You also got to keep in mind that these type of cars dont lose any value in fact it will only keep getting more and more valuable as the years go by especially Ferraris which are the very childhood dream brand, i can imagine a 275 GTB/C Speciale or a 250 GTO by the year of 2035 it will probably cost more than 40 million. With that said some of these people dont buy them to keep them when in fact they buy them to resell them later on and make more money on them its actually quite a way to make money.

      Its pure love for car. Old ferraries are gorgeous and run beautifully . There not many of these left. If i had that kind of money ,i would buy the car without even thinking even at 50 mil.

      Stig's Italian Cousin To an avg person like me and you I can see how its hard to see a car go for this much and justify it. You have to realized for people buying this car it comes down to 2 factors. There Passion for History in the Auto world which this car is pure bliss when it comes to history. The other that 38 Million is a drop in the bucket for them.
      Its not about Flexing there muscle and showing off(well it might be a tad bit). Literally the value we see in objects is different from there's. These are the same people who buy $100 Million dollar yachts that they hardly ever go on. Personally I would say I would never sell a car like that but 38 Million is a lot of money.

      Stig's Italian Cousin Ask the people around the world who've been getting killed for years for those so-called 1% to have all their toys, and don't be fool enough to believe politicians give a damn about spreading freedom around the world.

    • @Thekingcmk
      @Thekingcmk 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      germslover666 Exactly how are people getting killed so they can have there toys? I know Liberals like to think EVERY millionaire or billionaire got there money from Oil but you might want to look up who buys these toys. Before you just claim someone died for this car, and also show how. I'm not going to deny there are fucked up people in this world who have invested money in conflicts that have resulted in lives lost. I just dont go around claiming everyone who has money is evil like you and people like you do.

    Why would that car bring this price tag?..Ive been restoring cars since 1989. Been in the business well over 30 years and have never under stood why the early Ferraris bring rhese stupid numbwrs at auction? I helped restore a 1947 Cisitalia back int the 1990's and it was 1 of 149 produced and at the time in 1991 only valued at $185,000... Hand built by And I Ferrari and Pinina Farrina himself...Might be worth more these day but come on 38 million for one car???
