Mitch Katz Talks Residual Values on Money Radio with Ken Morgan and Mark Asher in Scottsdale, in advance of all the events in Scottsdale, AZ this winter.
The Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina provides a more accessible version, one that bears watching for rising values. At its January 2018 Scottsdale sale, RM Sotheby’s will offer a 2001 example (Lot #266) showing just 9,500 miles, with a pre-sale estimate of $475,000-$525,000.

Ferrari Berlinetta Boxers has always migrated racing tech to its road cars; in the classic era, the two were often one in the same or very close.
The Mille Miglia is a transcendent and transformative experience.

That means it took down the previous record holder, the Porsche 918 Spyder by about five seconds. The gauntlet has been thrown down, and now the $274,390 price tag for the Huracán Performante looks even more enticing.
Danville, CA, about an hour’s drive from San Francisco, is not the most convenient locations for a classic car museum, yet the quality of the Blackhawk Automotive Museum’s exhibits, unique design and other area attractions make it worth the trip.
The Levante takes its name from a warm Mediterranean wind. Maserati must get credit for successfully transferring its design language to the SUV form. There doesn’t appear to be a straight line anywhere on the body, just plenty of elegant curves and no attempt to look truckish. Squint, and you can see a bit of Infiniti’s SUV designs here and there, and the mini fender vents still look a bit Buick-ish to some.
The story of the Revs Institute begins when Miles Collier acquired the Cunningham Museum and started adding to the collection of important vehicles. Recent partnership with Stanford University has made this museum one of the world’s preeminent sources of automotive information.
