SOLD! and Thank You..

That would be nice, but one sale of a peticular series does not change the market (as much as I wish it would!). I would imagine if one or 2 more sold in the same ball park.
I hope it sold at or near your asking price, it would be great for all.

It would be nice if you could ever stop taking jabs. No one really does that to you.

 

<yawn>

 

Thanks, Roy. A pleasure doing business with you. Can't wait to get it home and out on the road! An awesome car.

Kirk

 

Congrats to both!
amazing looking car.

 

Good job Kirk. Yet again a Vintage Ferrari owner appreciating Lamborghini's Countach classics, and stepping up to give it a good home.

This car is more similar to 12670 than it is to 1120068 which I sold you, so I know you'll enjoy it.

Margaret & I are just getting back to speed after our Kentucky Derby weekend, but we will speak soon, this car has a very interesting history which I know you'll appreciate.

Best,

 

Yes Ditto, just here to promote his own business

 

Ummmm.... he's a SPONSOR of F-Chat. Duh.

Roy, FWIW, we are already in contact.

Kirk happens to be a client of mine, and I have sold & re-sold a Countach LP400 'Periscopa', and a Countach Annivesario to him and on his behalf, over the course of a number of years.

I am aware that this deal is being held as "confidential", so the numbers cannot be procured to assist the market in one way or another. Having said that, as Peter points out, a single sale does not a market make.

As to what your are suggesting Kirk might glean from me, I can assure you that we have always had and still do have a very gentlemanly & cordial relationship, and I would not hesitate to assist him in any way I can. He is aware of his.

Best,

 

You actually follow horse racing ??? Ive done so for 40 years. Here is a thread we are on, why don't you join in and contribute ?? So few people really know anything about the sport.

Yeah, Longacres is no Santa Anita or Churchill Downs for that matter, but any horse racing is fun.

We appreciate the history of the event and the fact that it is the oldest major sporting event in the USA. A little synopsis for you:

Between 1875 and 1902, African American jockeys won 15 of the 28 runnings of the Kentucky Derby. The Derby is known as the Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports and it is the oldest major sporting event in the USA. Also known as the Run for the Roses, the winner receives approximately $2 million. Derby participants are limited to three-year-old horses. No horse since Apollo in 1882 has won the Derby without racing at age two. Bodemeister tried to reverse that this year. A few famous sayings that sum up the allure of the event:

John Steinbeck - "The Kentucky Derby, whatever it is&#8212;a race, an emotion, a turbulence, an explosion&#8212;is one of the most beautiful and violent and satisfying things I have ever experienced."

Irvin S. Cobb - "Until you go to Kentucky and with your own eyes behold the Kentucky Derby, you ain't never been nowhere and you ain't never seen nothin'!"

My money was riding on Bodemeister, consolation being California horses came in 1-2.

Winning owner J.Paul Reddam is our neighbor, neat guy, not a typical boastful braggart, but one who lets his success speak for him.

Classy, classy, classy. Couldn't have gone to a better guy.

 

Wow,......had a feeling. Will you make it to Pocono with it?

I have Kirk's Urraco. Kirk goes through cars like .........

 

I think Kirk is very smart. He is what I call a "revolving collector" choosing to have fun with a particular car for a couple of seasons, then pass it on for a great number having had the full experience, before ownership becomes prohibitive. This way he enjoys a large variety of cars in his lifetime. Having said that he's owned the Ferrari Daytona a long time. As always I will be there to help with this QV DD also, not to suggest that this will be anytime soon.

 

As you should be. Congratulations.

The one comment I should make is that your statement at the beginning of this thread that: "I guess we can NOW re-adjust the figures of TRUE selling cars with my recent sale of the S2 low Body and now the 88 1/2 DD countach..." doesn't apply.

The number you sold the S2 is within the range of figures already established in the Countach values thread, and the undisclosed private number achieved for this car does not establish a new market by itself nor can it impact the market unless that number is disclosed. Accordingly, there is nothing to re-adjust.

If another QV DD sells for a similar number and the number is disclosed, the range of figures in the Countach values thread should then be adjusted.

Meanwhile lets stand by to see if another similar car achieves a similar number and that number is disclosed. If so, we will then have a new range.

 

So many cars, so little time...it would be great to try every one of them once!

Yes, I think I will be going to Pocono. You have the Connecticut event that weekend, though, right?

 

Roy,

I am with you on value the sale you archived will dictate. Others saying that one sale does not make the market are entitled to their opinion, but I disagree. These cars are not like the mass produced cars that sell at a Mannheim auction and than set the national MMR as value. How many Picassos need to sell to set the market? I think condition and quality will always be a factor in determining value, but I am ready to make a bet that a price of a real DD will start with a 2 from now for the average examples with $275K as being an easily achievable number for the best examples.

Geno

 

Of course, spoken like a true DD QV owner who paid a "2" number

Look, you make some good points, but you make some exaggerations. "$275k....easily achievable".. ?? I don't think so.

I'm in the trenches doing this day in and day out, speaking with all the interested parties reading and posting here, and I can tell you that 400-plus DD QVs built is a bit different from a one-off Picasso!!

Also you have to ask yourself why this deal is "confidential"? The fact that it is, means it cannot impact the current range, however, it can be noted, but it will take at least another sale publicly declared at a similar number to produce a shift in "market" values. Lets see if that happens before we get too exited.

 

1120068? Are you sure? Or do you mean 1120086?

 

Correct, Going to try to attend both for a busy weekend!

 

That is correct. Everyone has a little dyslexia sometimes!
