250 GTO just sold for reportedly $28.5MM. My favorite car in the world. Definitely worth 28.5MM if you have it to spare IMO. I mean, there just isn't a better looking car in the world. A piece of art really.

This has always been my favorite, even when I was a little kid, before I knew anything about cars. I have always loved it.

This is the quintessential Ferrari. I absolutely love this car. Amazing piece of automotive history.

Definitely not, just to put things into perspective, an F16 fighting falcon costs about $18.8mil. Don't ask me why I am comparing the two. I just don't see any car worth that much, regardless of brand, age, condition.

Yeah but a Picasso costs, what, $50MM? I mean Damien Hirst sold a shark in formaldehyde for $10M. It's a piece of work, and if you believe that, then it's worth that IMO.

Word. Yeah I mean these things are very subjective. Some people would gawk at buying a car for more than $50k you know? Like I think my mom's crazy for buying $5k bags when you can rock a $5 wallet haha. So, it's all relative in terms of what you appreciate and are willing to spend money on.

I am a huge car fanatic, I wouldn't spend that amount of money on a car no matter how rich I was.

I'd spend 28Mil on an Atlantic or a Royale. On a 250GTO? No way.
