Surprising!
That so many of us from that era turned out as we have, and so many of us
have these (wonderful?) british cars to love, drive and maintain.Hummmm.
When I was 14 and a freshman in high school, I became a weekend regular at
the the Filmore, Filmore West, Winterland, Avalon Ballroom, all of the
concerts in the park and other places.
I had hundreds of those posters, full sized, the 5" X 8" ones, my buddies
and I were on a first name basis with Bill Graham, (Nice Guy). Who knew that
all that stuff would be worth anything now. After seeing what Tom got for
his Beatle album, it makes wonder how much my posters, or my ticket stub
form the Beatles concert at Candlestick would be worth now. And this from a
lad who at the age of 19 (1969 waitng to be drafted and sent to Nam) was
offered a working cattle ranch on the hills above what is now Silicon Valley
FOR FREE. So much for missed opportunities. I offer this example of values
from then to now. My dad sold his 1964 aluminum bodied Ferrari 250 Short
Wheel Based Coupe in 1968 for $6800. That car could sell at auction now for
as much as $5000000.00 (that's 5 million), as has happened at auctions on
ESPN. Let me see now, a couple thousand acres of ranch land, convertedn to
housing or maybe vineyard property, Who Knew? I guess it dosen't pay to look
back
