Thanks for sharing the video of George's collection!quote:Originally posted by MarsRed:
Sorry to continue to hijack this, but...
Here's a video of George's shop. I know at least one of you have been there: https://vimeo.com/23947447
He told me that the Bentley and the Audi in the video were taken in partial trade for the GT40.
Of particular note (to the present crowd) are the 'bundle of snakes' exhaust from when George raced a Pantera. Look closely...
To my knowledge, George still drives all of his cars.
Here's the GT40: http://www.shelbyamericancolle...llection/p1046.shtml
The "1" correction I will make is that "Ultra RARE" cars such as a Le Mans winning GT40, their prices are NOT affected whether the owner is alive or sold by one's heirs.
As a statement of FACT, Ultra RARE cars that come out of renowned owner's private collections actually garner MORE at auction as their ownership adds additional provenance & subsequently greater valuation.
Not to be morbid, but Ultra RARE car collectors are quite aware of older gentlemen's car collections & their "Time Left"...Mark
