Market commentary
Exactly why is a 250 GTO worth five times this Comp 61 SWB The visual distinction is clear, but the value equation attributes some remarkable value factors that have little to do with beauty, performance or even rarity. This is real SWB money, but a solid intrinsic value in one of Ferraris, Pininfarinas and Scagliettis best ever. It is, if anything, well bought at this price and the new owner got real value for a paltry() $6.1 million.
