Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Brake pads and muscle cars

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

Clyde – maybe you can speak to this - - - when I was business flying the company would buy me a first class ticket if the flight was over 4 hours – LA to NYC – First Class.  Observation:  Me in a 3 piece (it was a while ago!) business suit represented the po’folks.  The real money flew in blue jeans, $300 white shits and loafers without sock.

So... I didn't receive many replies for brake pad recommendations - do you
guys still track your cars?

Also, I happen to own a 1969 Firebird 400 4spd matching convertible(probably
less than 500 remain in the world).  I looked for 20 years for this car
because I think it has nearly as pretty lines as my 85 308, however the 308
interior is more "Euro Sports Car" with levers, etc and which is why I
bought the 308 and not the 328.  

According to latest muscle car auction results the Firebird is worth around
$65k - more than my 308.   Interestingly, I bought my 308 from a car
collector in St. Louis, who had huge garage filled with................
American classic/muscle cars......   and one Ferrari 308.  There are many
more people in the US with a taste for Bud and muscle, than there are craft
beer and Ferrari's, thus more demand and more $$ chasing Bud and muscle.

I am watching the auction of muscle cars

 

Stupid money

 

For stupid cars

I sorta agree/disagree....

Muscle cars are great, but I never could rationalize them being worth
megabucks. I guess we could dismiss them as one trick ponies, but then maybe
we could do the same for vintage 250 series Ferraris that couldn't handle or
brake much better.

So we're putting on our red colored glasses and showing a bias for exotics
over muscle -- which I fully endorse. Just look at a 250 SWB or 275
GTB....gorgeous and much classier looking interior.

Now a Cuda, Chevelle, Pontiac GTO are nice looking too in that muscle way
but not the same.

So I'm ok with "elite" muscle going for 100-200k perhaps, but this
$500k-$1M+ is insane. IIRC there may have been a $2 or $3M Cuda sold....an
extremely rare 1 of 5, convertible with manual, etc. Silly.
Like the 250 GTO version of muscle.

The good news for muscle is that you can get more or less the same cars for
a whole lot less if you're not obsessed with #s matching crap, original this
and that. There's no real stigma to doing modifications and what not to
these cars so long as you don't take them to the big auction houses.

I believe one could get a "normal" muscle car for $50-60k these days (less
probably) and do what they want.  A far cry for a vintage Ferrari.
