[DeTomaso] Will Pantera prices follow Mangusta prices?

[Pantdino]

It seems to me collectors value cars based partly on their historical significance and partly on what they actually ARE viewed objectively.
 
The post-Ford cars are more rare and more impressive visually but the Ford cars are historically significant because they represent Ford's attempt to bring an exotic into the garage of middle-class people who could never afford a Ferrari.
 
Some people will value one more, some the other.

   It seems to me collectors value cars based partly on their historical
   significance and partly on what they actually ARE viewed objectively.



   The post-Ford cars are more rare and more impressive visually but the
   Ford cars are historically significant because they represent Ford's
   attempt to bring an exotic into the garage of middle-class people who
   could never afford a Ferrari.



   Some people will value one more, some the other.
