The seller indicates in the listing that with the rise in popularity of these cars, and the originality of this specific one, that it could in fact be an investment vehicle. They state that wealthy people in Dubai and Kuwait are starting to purchase pristine examples of these cars to add to their collections. At the current bid price, you would have to start considering what you would want to do with this car. Are you someone who would store it or drive it?

    You just have to smile and shake your head at these sellers giving potential buyers financial advise. “Its worth lots more than it’s actual value ’cause its an investment”. Sure it is. “And wealthy foreigners are going to buy them all, so you better overpay for mine”. Right.
    Nice car and all, but still only worth what a used ’74 Pantera is worth, not some unknown future value.

      And the helmet is a good indication it was never driven hard.

        Probably not to the point of needing a helmet.

        In any sanctioned road course event, you must wear a helmet!

    You’ll need Koolomat for heat and noise reduction.

    Ran across this older listing again and thought I’d add, after seeing it here and pursuing for awhile, I ended up buying this car. It is just as good as presented. Don’t give up too easily if you see a car here you really like. Sometimes it works out!
