I didn't want to hijack the other thread about having a million dollar inheritance to spend on your dream hemi car asking this follow up on the subject, so I'm starting a new one. If you got your dream hemi car, how much do you think you'd actually drive it? We like to boast we'd drive the wheels off it when there is talk of some trailer queen or museum piece, but it seems pretty rare that anyone with top shelf caliber cars really drive them much, if any. Many of these types of cars are not exactly comfortable and driver friendly cruisers! Think manual steering, drum brakes, stiff clutches, temperamental engines, hot, not to mention worrying about a texting soccer mom or wreckless tuner punk running into you.
This subject has been on my mind recently as there is a '62 Mercedes 300SL I see often at an area cruise. I don't know vintage European cars beyond seeing the multi million prices that cars like gullwings and Ferraris bring at auctions, but wondered what this car I see so often is worth. I was surprised to see its a 7 figure car assuming its real!
I go to many cruises but its rare to see 6 figure cars at any, I can't recall ever seeing another 7 figure one.
