How long will it take to appreciated in value significantly above original purchase price? Which year and color is most desirable?

First off all automobiles are financial disasters.To much money down no return for years. Only a select few reach Iconic status. And that car will be a good collector. Stock market has better return good stock picks and the price of that car can me multiplied. Can you resist driving a V-10 with over 600 horses? to only 800 miles a year? do you have lots of other Posches BMW's and Daily driving Nissans around? Silver Arrow is the only real color

any thing in that model is good for a long term investment.But can you afford not to have a steady income coming for 25-35 years.In essence,m your money is invested and you will not get a profit UNTIL you sell. I prefer the mid 60's sl class.

The were all pre-sold on order. They are ugly, they are compromised, (Porsche GT3 is far superior) there are far better things to do with the money. And property - real estate to you - beats cars as an investment every time. You have the rental income, the appreciation of an ever-rising demand, and a very easy re-sale. You don't rent a supercar out, do you? And they can take an age to find the right buyer to sell to.

If you have the connections plus all the money that it takes to buy one.Jay Leno got one for FREE...to ad to his collections of course that was done to promote the car,with the $ he got he can buy a whole fleet of those cars
