There's a $1.5 Million-dollar Bugatti Veyron being advertised online for rent for $25,000/Day.
If you owned that Bugatti along with a $1.5 Million-dollar 1966 Cobra CSX 3000, would you consider renting the Cobra for the same price? If more, how much more? I mean, everything material has a price tag....care to guess what yours might be?
A purely hypothetical question.

I don't think it's beyond consideration.
My brother in-law is an electrician in the Hamptons and was recently in a garage that contained, as stated by the caretaker, an original Cobra. Interesting enough next to it was a Bugatti. I don't know the model of but my BIL said they were the only two cars in the garage with covers.
Also consider that this is just a summer home and the cars used only during the summer and most likely only on weekends.
A while back I was fortunate to be invited to go fishing on a 55' sportfisherman. At the time it was a dream come true. I never had expected to even step foot on one. The name of the boat was Just A Toy. Someone asked the owner what's up with the name. His reply, "Hey, it's just a toy". He used it for only fishing.
I don't know what those specific cars mean to the owner but it's very possible they are just unique toys to him. If there was a fire in the garage I bet his first thought would be if the insurance company is going to fully cover the cars.
And if he liked them, he would just get replacements.
Not sure if an owner like that would consider renting the Cobra. $25,000 might not be worth his time. But if rented for a week someone like that might consider it.
