Went back in time to the year 1997 to check Ferrari pricing.

I'll take that 288 GTO for $285,000. My check is in the mail.

 

Well, 512 TR and Mondial would be about the same price in absolute dollars. (Less if converted to 2014 dollars.)

Others... might be a tad more.

 

246GT for $44k and both Aston Martins for me, please!

 

I was there about that time. I wonder if the Europa was Paul Forbe's.........that was a sweet car, and very very original. There was a big scuff mark on the passenger side roof.

 

Dollar has fallen by 80% since 1997. In real terms cars have gone down in price.

 

Most did better than inflation.

I've got a old Ferrari Market Letter from 1989 that has a '88 Testarossa with an asking price of $310,000.00

 

I bet that 64 RR isn't much more.

 

Actually it wasn't the prices so much as the models that impressed me - how many 250/275 variants in ONE showroom at one time???

 

Cool list--just keeping up with inflation is great when it comes to cars! I'll take the F40 please?

 

64' 250 GTL for a little more than 109 grand (I presume it wasn't a replica).. *sigh*

 

check in the mail for the whole list....

 

+1

 

F40 for $260k. Screw the mail, I'll deliver my check in person.

 

Interesting that back in 1997 a GTO was worth more than an F40.

I always thought they were valued less after the F40 was introduced and have only moved towards the top of the list within the last 10 years.
