I saw these are our local car show a few weeks ago, this shows there is plenty of money around here in Silicon Valley. All four were in like new condition and according Wikipedia they sell for above 2 million each. The matching color suitcase pictured in the one gullwing was originally included with the car and it sells now for around $20,000, got to be the most expensive suitcase around. Just saw in the news that Zuckerberg made $3.4 billion in an hour today, so it would be pocket money for one of these. LOL.

Wsy back when in the early 70's a friend of mine bought a Gullwing, white, red leather. He had to explain to the bank why he needed $7000 for an old car when he could buy a new Caddy for $3.5.
His only grip was the wheel wells were too skinny to put anything other than original stock size rubber on it.

And no gas cost as they don't drive these cars. Just for show.

I think there might be a few stories like that.

I'd buy one, but that seems a bit much for a used car. LOL

Great shots, Mike!
