Maybe having the classic car of your dreams is enough, whether it’s a good investment or not. You’ve always wanted a 1969 Mustang, Dodge Charger, or 1957 Mercedes 300SL (Gullwing). And if you have the cash to spare, you should have one. But it turns out there’s another more tangible reason to buy a classic car, they’re rapidly appreciating. According to by Douglas Ellison and Knight Frank, while traditional collectible investments like watches, art, and coins have appreciated some, (with appreciations of 3%, 5% and 10% in the last 12 months, respectively), collectible cars are stealing the show. Collectible cars have appreciated by 25% in the last 12 months, 111% in the last 5 years, and 469% since 2004. Here are the top ten reasons why classic cars are the best collectible investments.

Italian cars and reliability are two things that generally do not go hand-in-hand. Sometimes however there are exceptions to that rule and according to this owner, the following 1983 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole is one of them. The owner states that aside from a few small body blemishes that this car was “Kept in mechanically perfect condition” and that “paint chips are your only headache.” Now I’m not sure if that’s 100% accurate, but if it is, you’re looking at getting into a Ferrari for the same price as a new Honda Accord. Pretty good stuff if you ask me.

There are those out there who will view this video and reel back in disgust. They’ll say, “HOW CAN YOU DO THAT TO AN ENZO and WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!!” To those people we simply say to shut your mouths, relax and feel good in the fact that someone, somewhere out there, is doing everything that we’d ever want to do with an Enzo Ferrari and more. God bless these folks!

I am slowly becoming a huge fan of these TaxTheRich guys. You see every now and again they release a video of something crazy like a Jaguar XJ220, Ferrari F50 or a Bugatti doing some insane stuff, things that usually, normal owners would never do. These guys however simply don’t give a shit which is why I want them to adopt me. In their latest installment they take a torch red Ferrari 288 GTO, the predecessor to the F40 and have a little gymkhana-esque sideways fun with it. Check it out after the jump.

What we have here is a rather rare Ferrari that’s been transformed into a convertible. The 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 was produced from 1972-1976 and was the successor to the 365 GTC/4. It was a grand tourer of the highest order, packing a 320 hp V12 under the hood, room for four adults and stunning Pininfarina style. This particular 365 GT4 was converted into a drop-top sometime in the 1980’s and, according to the seller, was done so to the highest degree. The car has service records dating back to 1995 documenting over $58,000 spent on professional services. Make sure to check out the eBay Motors ad below and check out more pics after the jump.

The new Ferrari V12 Berlinetta has a whopping 740 hp under the hood and a top speed of over 200 mph. It’s ungodly fast, handles like no other GT car on the planet, and has body lines that Pamela Anderson would kill for. Therefore it should come as no surprise that when Ferrari offered one to Chris Harris (and 5 sets of extra tires) he immediately said, YES – and then proceeded to hoon himself into the next century.

The F355 Challenge, 360 Challenge Stradale, the F430 Scuderia and now the 458 Speciale. These are the cars produced by Ferrari that are designed to provide non-professional drivers with a much more intense and extreme experience behind the wheel. The Ferrari 458 Speciale is the newest kid on the block replacing the F430 Scuderia that came before it. It’s faster, sharper and as a whole, a better package. For those of you who can afford it, bravo! For those of us who can’t, we’ll just sit by the sidelines and drool…

If you’ve ever wondered what a proper flat-12 Ferrari sounds like, well then, look no further. This is a 1992 Ferrari 512 TR. It packs 421 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque, runs to 60 mph in around 5-seconds and tops out at 180 mph. Chris Harris recently got his hands on one and instead of talking about it, he simply put a microphone on the exhaust, recorded it and then posted it live for all of us to watch.

Thank you Mr. Harris. Thank you.

You’ve gotta hand it to the guys over at Motor Trend as they’ve got access to the coolest cars on the planet. Who else can get together a 2014 Ferrari F12, 2014 Corvette C7 and a 2014 Porsche 911 C4S and wring them out at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with Randy Pobst behind the wheel. There is a V12, a V8 and a flat-6 and yet the lap times are so close it’s ridiculous. This is a good one, so make sure to check it out after the jump.
