Let's face it this car is unlikley to ever get driven and in evaluating the
investment value of a car of this nature IMO one needs to look at what it
would judge at a Concours event. Sorry to say that many if not all of the
below retrofits/modifications/upgrades will detract from its value as a
concours car, it is sadly just a very low mileage Pantera. So IMO it's a bit
of a misnomor, not really driveable as you'd lose any value premium and not
concours. 

 

>From what I have seen posted prices for cars in general at Canepa Design
are ridiculously ambitious anyway.
