[QUOTE="cobra186, post: 8897261, member: 6221"] I think this was the perfect example of "history" surpassing "garage queen/wrapper" in value. With the #2 car.... it has a history & story to go along with it. Yes it was not treated nicely at times, it had a repainted etcetc.... BUT it is lowest available production #, it was driven by all sorts of "big wigs" & media types, it was owned by Ford for years. There is only one '00R with that history & story. With the #296 car you have a wrapper car that was sold to a regular John Doe, who stored it in his garage for a few years (how boring)..... just like probably 50-75 other '00R have been done. So #296 in theory can easily be replaced as its just another low mile '00R. I think the 95Rs in time will show the same trend.... the ragged out, wrecked, repainted blah blah blah race history cars in less than pristine condition will far exceed the garage queen wrapper cars, because they have a history. Right now all people see is the pretty perfect car sitting in their garage , when one day that old beater race car they passed up will surpass their prized posession. I still sorta regret not buying the "Rosie's Dinner 95R" (for $20k)when it was still in as raced condition, before the "Joker" bought it and made it a "Joker".... I think that 95R will someday be worth money in comparison to "wrapper" cars. [/QUOTE]
