Nicole Simpson 1987 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 cab 73k

GLWS!

Might be a good time, with all the media interest in Nicole and the newly "found knife"

 

interesting driver

 

How much more do you guys think a car of a famous person is worth?
I own a 1984 mercedes 500 SEC that Don Aronow bought new.
Don was the founder of the boat company Cigarette & other offshore boat companies in Miami.
It's not the car he was shot and killed in. Just one of his cars he bought new
We took it in on trade for one of our Mercedes from a friend of the family that purchased it from his wife Shirley

 

Don was a great man.

That said, as this thread will show, maybe a famous owner does not add much value after so many years, against the overall market.

I'll bet that's a nice car!

He was driving one (an SL maybe?) when he was killed.
I have seen crime scene photos, he barely made it out of his parking spot.....

 

Ya... he was shot in a white 560 sl in front of the Cigarette factory.
My wife and I grew up in South Orange NJ where he lived.
My wife went to school with his daughter.
There pics on my website

 

Don Aronow was an interesting character. Read the book "Blue Thunder" it's a great read, I've been a donzi owner for 17 years

 

Boy, I read that book a good 15-20 years ago. Great Book.

I currently have Jackson Browne's SuperAmerica

 

Unless it's someone like Steve McQueen or Paul Newman (i.e., a bonafide car nut + major star), then I don't think famous ownership adds much at all.

 

I thought Nicole drove a Mondial T Cab with Valeo shifter?
