panamericano Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 "Price upon application". Right, I need to apply for the thrill of being allowed to consider buying your vehicle. Sorry, I will pass. In the heady market of the late 80's my partner and I were told about a collection of great cars for sale. Slight snag, we would need a Letter of Credit for $4,000,000 in order to get with the multi-billionaire principal. We did get the LC (another OPM story). The collection was no where near what was discussed. We did get a couple Ferrari and an extra V12 engine (another story). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hey Croc: There is an '82 Ferrari for sale on BAT that is your F-car's twin (except for color). Looks like you are about to get a market value for your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Hey Croc: There is an '82 Ferrari for sale on BAT that is your F-car's twin (except for color). Looks like you are about to get a market value for your car? Its 189 cars after mine was built. I don't think so for a couple of reasons: - There are some condition questions yet to be answered - deferred maintenance? - Who knows where the market is today with all of the disruption? - Color plays a huge part in Ferrari values - who knows what a teal green will do? Seems strong right now - It does not have a CA BAR sticker while mine does - thats worth a lot It does have the manual and folder. Tool roll was there but not the tool case - I think? This car is still the least valuable v12 Ferrari model by a LONG way - its yet to be properly appreciated for its design. Auto transmission ones are sub-$50s So lots of factors that make me wonder what value this one will turn out. My best guess was $70-80k if COVID-19 were not around. Not sure now. Strong bidding action so I guess the colors are winners. 5 speeds are just so rare. Edited April 17, 2020 by Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce K Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The Aero to buy is the Series III. With that upgrade, Morgan fixed the crossed eyeballs, enhanced the merge lines of the grill and fenders, and reduced the trunklid height - all visually pleasing upgrades. Series III's routinely sell for $20 to $30K more than prior Aero models. I also love Morgans, but Sevens are rawer still - they handle better, provide greater acceleration, lighter steering with lots of feedback (Morgan steering is famously numb), they're controllable with the throttle, have better brakes. Same wind-in-your-face experience, but faster, lower - altogether more visceral. Not a seven but kind of neat anyhow; Morgan Aero 8 https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-morgan-aero-8-6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bball7754 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The owner of the Elkhart Collection vintage raced with the organization I race the Mallock with, the VSCDA. I met him briefly about 6 years ago, and last remember seeing him at a party at Gingerman in 2018. He would have a tractor trailer with 6-8 cars with him, and all sorts of support crew. Believe his daughter and maybe son-in-law also raced. I was told he had lots of cars, and he clearly had money. But no idea his collection was that large.
