Maybe I should have held on to that AM V8 back in the 80s. What are they worth now?

No doubt an awesome car but .......pales compared to the $32 million requested by a high-end dealer for the 1959 Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DBR1.

I think price is blinding a lot of people.

Those are ok looking cars, but knockout beautiful? Really?

The first one looks like an amalgam of several different cars/styles (or maybe a kit car built on a Karmann Ghia), and the second two, well, really.

Looks like I sold my DB4 a tad early.

I have a friend who has a DB4 and a Earlier V8. I've driven it and it reminds me of an Impala SS.

Its like a sleaker Lusso but without the Ferrari. Quite nice looking really. The Ghia may have taken some cues from this.
