Stewart and Steve discuss the amazing Chattanooga Motorcar Festival and the people and cars and location that make it such a great annual event. They discuss the incredible collection of Ferraris that come to the show every year with an average value of nearly $4 million dollars. They also discuss the rising values of Ferraris, including some that didn’t use to bring a lot of money.
Steve suggests that you always buy the best car you can because a project could end up costing more. If you can’t afford a nice one, then you really can’t afford a rough one. They also talk about Steve’s background and history working in the motorsports world – traveling around the world and being a judge at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
They discuss the market and trends in prices for Ferraris including the mass produced Ferrari SF90 Supercar that has been selling for $150,000 less than list price. The Ferrari 296 is also a topic for discussion and had a higher resale value than expected. Vintage car sales seem slow at this time and may not be real strong in the near future. A couple Mercedes-Benz Hammers recently sold by Gooding at Amelia for more than $600,000, but it was also well below the estimate going into the auction. Broad Arrow sold a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione for $9,465,000 at Amelia.
Keith Martin, Publisher of Sports Car Market Magazine talks to Stewart about meeting fellow enthusiasts at Cars and Coffee events and gaining knowledge from them. He also talks about his Home Owner’s Association not allowing Battery Tenders to be used to keep car batteries charged because they are afraid they could cause a fire.
Keith talks about getting his cars out of the garage and driving them now that the weather is getting nice. Rather than use a Battery Tender he has chose to connect battery disconnect switches. This way there is nothing draining the battery when it sits over winter.
Keith offers a great deal for new subscribers to Sports Car Market where you can get 6 months for only $19.95!
