Well i think it is sick that the GT5s rises as long as it is based on the common Pantera, just put some fenders on.
Same with the Porsche 2,7 RS, they have smashed the a million dollar barrier. I had a lot of 911 kept them liked them but I will never go for such a car for a million dollar, no way. It is based on the VW Beetle from 1935, so.
My conclusion is that the market has gone completly mad.
Look at hagerty at the Shelby GT500 prices. Were high when Vin Diesel drove the Eleanor in F&F 1-10 and then dropped like a stone from $200k to $100k within a second, because people did recon that on its native sheer base it is a Ford Mustang that you can get for as little as $1000 around the corner.
Oh I have a Pantera and a Porsche and other cars so don't get me wrong. They are worth some money but not what is payed now for them. And in the instant the traders leave the car market and go for art or gold or retro smart phones or something else all this fantasy car prices will go back to what they were 10 years ago.
A GT5-S Pantera is not a common Pantera whit wider fenders on ,it has a different chassis,inner fenders floors,low production.
A Porsche 2,7 RS has an other history than a regular 911
A real good documentated Shelby 67'GT500 go's for much more than $100k
Cars are wordt what people pay for, the same as whit real estate.
Into the past race cars are rebuild to street cars,now a race car whit history brings big money.
And yes maybe the market is mad but do you sell your Pantera for less $$$ than what you have paid for?
This is just what I am thinking,
