Yes some moths ago, but at $135,000 US for a non S1 as you call it. Your car is, so it is worth more but will you sell it??
The 1000 was more luck than anything else. As for a Countach there is no luck there. I will only buy an LP400 and the recent market interest has pushed me out for now. Despite what others say I believe that the early Countach market right now is unrealistically high and the prices will crash. I know that they will not come down to what they were however I do believe that they will drop considerably. When they will drop I do not know. I think it is great that the early cars are getting some more recognition in the market but the growth we are seeing right now is not at all sustainable. Just my opinion so let's not go to war over this.
no flaming here you are not alone on this i have a different opinion, but we are here to share views and learn from others: i learned a lot on forums like this in my view there are many differences btw today market and 89-90's situation: today only few, quite selected model (with a strong image) are rising quickly while a lot of others old ones are pretty much as expensive as years ago : as an example we could choose lambo V8s, Ferrari 308 or TR, or even Fiat Dino spider (i remember the prices they had in 1990....that was CRAZY) p.s. i really hope you are right: i'd like to have an LP400 someday but i think my chances are close to .....0
I understand your point. However the LP 400 is a rare car. They only built 150 cars. How many are around today ? - Just look at the market today. They are so few cars forsale around the world. I also wanted to pay normal prices for an LP 400, but when I looked for an actual car, I could hardly find even one forsale in the USA. Their was always a 500-1,000 mile Anniversario car available, a decent 5000S, and a F.I. Q.V. The Pre-82 cars were always difficult to find. The only LP 400 I saw available, was a yellow/tan LP 400 in LA, that was advertised on Ebay. I heard the owner did not return PMs about the car. With the S1 (an even more scarce vehicle), most likely only a specialist, will begin to appreciate the difference. The car may dip in price at some point down the road, but low production #'s, strong demand, few cars on the market, and a huge legacy will ensure that the LP 400, will increase in value for years to come.
He is not BS-ing either. A freind client told me he had $175k ready to wire to Emilio and I told Emilio and he declined. Correct Emilio? Best, Joe
Good question Ralph. I dont think any production car went without A/C. But I 'heard' at least one of Wolf's cars had no A/C. Joe
