1974 GTS with original paint/tires/books/tools/records with only 3000 original documented miles. It just don't get any better than that for an investment car. Using that market savvy, BOOM! Knocked it out of the park, #7147 SOLD. Deal struck at 180k after inspection[s]. Paid. Gone. Japan wins! Car left in a container. In closing, these figures speak for themselves. These are no longer just a fluke sale here

Yes, but how many Panteras are there in existence like this = it sounds incredible. Maybe 5?

Much like the Mangustas rarity, rarity makes this Pantera worth much more.

EXACTLY!!!...One must NEVER use an "Anomaly" ( As this Time Capsule 1974 GTS IS) as a barometer/gauge of current valuations!!! unless of course there is an ulterior motive for fanning the flames of the High Priced anomaly...Mark

You only know if it is an anomaly if it does not repeat itself? But then is it an anomaly of two, then three?

There is a certain degree of will that creates value. Stock market is a good example.

Perception of value of the stock drives demand for it up.

We have a growing perception of value here. A perception that the car is undervalued and it is creating desirability OR buy it now or forever be not able to afford one?

Based on the definition of "Anomaly" a·nom·a·ly
əˈnäməlē/Submit
noun
1.
something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.
"there are a number of anomalies in the present system"
synonyms: oddity, peculiarity, abnormality, irregularity, inconsistency, incongruity, aberration, quirk, rarity
"the growth on the duck's bill is a harmless anomaly

There is not a numerical set point of which the word "anomaly" becomes invalid.


I used it specifically in regards to the this example...1974 GTS with original paint/tires/books/tools/records with only 3000 original documented miles.

Few would argue/dispute with any degree of intelligence, that a 41 YEAR OLD Sports Car that was intentionally built to be DRIVEN, yet having ONLY 3,000 miles is the quintessential definition of the word "Anomaly".

As per another example...In 1973 there were 35,439 Mach 1 Mustangs built.

As per Marti report I own a "1" of "1" 1973 Mach 1 Mustang.

"1" out of 35,439 is definitely an Anomaly!!!

Without question & beyond reproach...The most recent purposefully created anomalies are the high percentage of ULTRA LOW mileage Ford GT.

A higher degree of Ford GTs were specifically purchased by INVESTORS...NOT to be driven then any modern Sports Cars of recent memory.

In FACT the GULF paint scheme is worth an additional $100,000.00 MORE than an exact example only difference being the paint!

I was recently at a Ford Dealership in Silicone Valley purchasing a few Ford parts.

Asked the sales manager if he had every driven a customer's Ford GT?

He replied...ALL the Ford GTs come in for service on a car hauler...get serviced...get placed back on the car hauler & transported back to the owner's home/s.

Basically a "Static Investment" much like a Vermeer painting hanging on a wall, or a Alberto Giacometti's sculpture resting atop a Louis XIII Style Pantalonnière...( where is the pinkie in the air icon?!)Mark
