Iconic movie (only due to the car chase)...sure...
Iconic actor...sure
Iconic car in the movie...sure..
But 10 million?? Not sure...
That is a lot of coin for someone to pay..on an already over speculated market..for what is simply a 390 Mustang GT with cool pedigree. The boomer generation is what keeps these prices up there on stock cars..and they are getting out or dying off.
I'm 49 and as I've gotten older I've came to realize for me and the vast majority of people in the hobby....it is the experience and thrill of driving the cars that make it fun...The thumbs up at lights,the conversations at gas stations or restaurants, the local cruises where people randomly pop in and "browse," the "war stories" of the stop lights... Having a car simply to have it...rather boring and when it is all said and done...who cares..Given an immaculate original 1969 Z that sits in the garage for fear of driving it....or a new 1LE...give me the new 1LE.
My prediction in 10-15 years...a lot of high end restorations will be coming on the market...and prices won't be as high as they are now...
BTW..I'd rather have Morrison's Shelby.
