In a day and age where a house is on the market for a quarter of a billion dollars and the world's most expensive car has publicly transacted at over $38.5 million bucks, you have to wonder how much longer it will take for a car to hit the $100 million dollar mark. Hell, perhaps it'll happen sooner than you think.
That's because the Tifosi world recently suffered a heavy blow.
Preston Henn, a major Ferrari aficionado, recently passed away. This means that his collection and prized gems will likely hit the auction block at some point in the not-too-distant future.
According to reports, the most intriguing car that's been sought is his 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale. And, according to some, this may be the vehicle that tests that nine figure number.
That said, I've got to ask:
Is there such a thing as a $100 million dollar car? Are we there yet?I know the car is as worth as much as someone will pay for it, but that 100 mark is a HUGE gap from that 38.5 number. What say you, Spies?
One of the most coveted cars in the world lost its driver this week when Atlanta millionaire Preston Henn, a flea-market magnate and racing aficionado, died at age 86.
Make no mistake, the 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale could well be the Ferrari, the most rare and storied specimen from a brand built on scarcity and lore. It may also be the world’s first car to break the $100 million mark, provided it finds its way to the auction block.
