In Response To: this thing called "mcqueen" lemans camera car sells for 11m ()

This is the first big sale of the America's top vintage event, the "Monterey Weekend". Here is another report regarding the GT40, along with my favorite quotation from the article --

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-18/ford-gt40-sells-for-11-million-auction-record-for-a-u-dot-s-dot-car

"Classic cars, along with wine, art and other alternative asset classes, have been attracting increased attention from new buyers looking to diversify their investment portfolios." So our beloved watches are an "alternative asset class" . . . OK, we can live with that!!
