Posted in the wrong thread. Posting again here. I’ve always thought it would be cool to have an exact replica of a Porsche 550 Spyder I guessed that one would cost more than a new Ferrari. I received this reply when I asked the price: > [@](#): > > You would be correct. We put original, until we run out, 4CAM engines from 1955-1956, in our cars. These engines are $440,000 on the open market today, and are increasing in value. So part of our cars is appreciating. 😀 Every other car/replica, except very low production cars depreciate immediately. > > The turnkey price is over $900,000. That’s twice what I was thinking. I wonder how much it would be with a 356C engine. ---

I’d love love love a driverless car. I wouldn’t care if it was an box. I don’t mind cross country driving, but I hate communting. If I could have that hour or more a day to relax instead of getting more work out and stressed, it would be like the sun coming up. ---
