your single most expensive model?
Hi Guys,
I just recently bought a dealer edition Bentley Continental GT in black and it was the most i've spent on a single model. I felt a bit stupid spending so much money on a "toy" but i trust that when i see it in person, it would be everything i imagined it to me, or atleast i HOPE anyway. So my question is, what is your most expensive model (how much?) and how do you guys justify it? Of course, minus the fact that some of you are trillionaires and all. Thanks! Gary

A GMP black '93 Mustang Cobra...it was around $90, but the thing is sooooo detailed. Plus I drive a black '92 Mustang that's nearly identical to the model, so it has a sort of sentimental value to me.

Re: your single most expensive model?
I have three models from CMC and one from BBR but the most expensive one was the Ferrari 500 F2 from CMC. It was €235 (around 370 US dollars). The second expensive was CMC's Ferrari 250GTB SWB (€225), the third expensive was CMC's Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (€215) and last but not least a Ferrari 375 Plus from BBR (€149).

Re: your single most expensive model?
The most that I've paid for any of mine would be my Franklin Mint Rolls Royce Silver Ghost at $120 + shipping.
I bought it in 1987... Scott

Re: your single most expensive model?
Mine so far is my Lexus GS430 from AutoArt
It retails for around $70 for the regular model. I have a limited edition model, but I honestly don't see the difference. Anyways, mine retailed for $75 but I got it for $50.

Re: your single most expensive model?
The most i've ever dished out would be about $65-ish for a 1/43 Spark 2005 Pescarolo Judd. I found it justifyable because I watched close to 17 hours of the total 24 hour race.

Re: your single most expensive model?
^ I could only last thirty minutes of watching any type of race. I could barely watch NASCAR for 5 minutes. It's just so damn boring.

Re: your single most expensive model?
Like ZL1 it depends on what you have paid and what they are worth now.
Paid is the 1/18 Bentley 4.5 Ltr 1930 Le Mans car Worth is the 1/18 #28c Holden Torana XU1 1972 Bathurst winner

Re: your single most expensive model?
I've got two 1/43rds that are my most expensive. When I purchased them (about a decade ago), they were "insanely" expensive at $120-ish each. I've got a 1941 Chrysler Newport Dual Cowl Phaeton Indy Pace Car and the 1991 Bugatti EB110 prototype.
