Wow. What do you think? [ LAUGH ] I might have just peed my pants. Here we are at RM Auctions LA offices, a sanctuary of the greatest cars in the world. And I'm with my friend Ian Killaher. Ferrari expert, expert in many vintage things. So we're here today, I wanna talk about some stuff you've got for sale coming up, and also about classics in general. Well, good to see you. Good to see you. Happy to have you here. Thank you. Happy to show off some of our our tenants, so to speak. So this is the 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB 4. And this is a car that basically is made famous by its ownership by Steve McQueen. What is it about steve McQueen that adds, what did you tell me, 3 to 4 times the average value of the car? Well, he's the king of cool. You know, everything that, that Steve McQueen got involved with, he put a, a single handed touch on to it that really individualized that. Piece whatever it was. In reality, you know, he was kind of the forefront of his generation in terms of knowing what was cool. Give me the bad news. What is it going to cost me? Well, we've been saying roughly 3 to 4 times the normal value of a standard [ INAUDIBLE ]. That pegs it basically 9 to 12 million. So I know you're a Ferrari enthusiast. We've shown you one. You've brought us one. I have one more I'd like to show you. Yes. It's pretty spectacular. So what we have here is the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM. And Stunning. Stunning. Absolute perfect restoration done by Ferrari, by the factory. This was a car that was initially built and designed for racing 24 hour races, hence the LM. Absolutely fantastic to drive. They are ridiculously fast. And being inside this cockpit, V12 behind you. It's like nothing else. So what is this going to set me back? We expect the car to sell for over $ 10 million. [ LAUGH ] Only. Alright so, now that you've shown me all sorts of things I can't afford. Mm- hm? Would you like to go for a little ride in, in the car I brought you? I would love to. That would be great. Suppose that we spent $ 450, 000 on this car, just supposing. Right. How would I ever know, as a purchaser, that it could ever attain something like 9 million. Obviously Steve McQueen isn't gonna have a chance to drive it. Right. But that aside. It's almost impossible to know. But for a lot of people, knowing. You know what's special about each car, how is it equipped, what's different, how many were made and which specific color? You know, it is an automatic transmission versus a, a manual transmission? These are beautiful cars. The design is, is in many ways flawless. When you're looking at sportcars what appeals to you, is it. Engine noise, a lot of power, light weight, what, what do you feel in a car like this? I think anything of this caliber with a rear engine having that connection to it gives you that visceral response. It gives you that emotional feeling of Exhilaration. [ MUSIC ]
