Default $3.4 M? Yoiks and egads!

CSX 3021 went for 3.4M? Remarkable! Hope it is real.

Of course, we are all happy, correct? Well, i am reminded of the foolishness of the Ferrari market for a few years after Enzo went to that big Restaurante Cavalle Rampant in the sky. There were many sales and re-sales between dealers and near-dealers that purposely pumped-up retail prices.

When Ferrari prices ultimately fell back, many 3XX series owners were seriously disappointed in their "investments". Although the rarest cars did retain a larger share of their run-up in prices, it was hard to believe that investor-grade cars could be made out of production items of 7-12 thousand quantities. Ferrari 3XX cars remain wonderful street machines.

One data point does not describe a trend and as we have learned, not all trends are un-managed. But, it is pretty spectacular for an original well-documented street SC to sell at 3.4 large, even if it was mostly unused, re-painted in original gold, the first SC, etc.

Personally, i like it. But, i am obviously biased and not an un-interested by-stander (of a sort).
