This included racing in the great endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 1000 Kilometers of N\u00fcrburgring, Spa and Monza, and the Targa Florio. Aston Martin, Ferrari, Jaguar, Porsche and Ford (by backing Carroll Shelby with the Cobra), all designed very lightweight, successful competition cars to compete in the GT category.\u00a0 In the USA these cars raced in the SCCA and the USRRC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, GT cars qualify to race in many great historic events such as the Tour (de France) Auto, Tour of Spain and Targa Florio because they are dual-purpose race and street cars. They also qualify for the Le Mans 24 Hour Classic and, in the USA, the Monterey Historics and all other race events and tours.\u00a0 Due to their technology, great designs, event eligibility and low production numbers, GT cars have steadily been increasing in value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally, there was also the popular American series for racing \u201cSedans,\u201d the Trans-Am Championship, which started in 1966 and, for the purposes of this guide, goes through 1972. This was exciting racing with all of the big American manufacturers involved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, there is a historic Trans-Am group that is always a crowd pleaser. These cars have also proven their worth and have been increasing in value, with buyers paying a premium for team cars with history.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><strong>Make<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\"><strong>Model<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\"><strong>Level III<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\"><strong>Level II<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\"><strong>Level I<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">AMC Javelin<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">\n<p>\u201868-\u201972 Trans Am<\/p>\n<p>Team<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$700,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$800,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$900,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">\n<p>\u201869-\u201971 Trans Am<\/p>\n<p>Independent<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$150,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$175,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$250,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">Aston Martin<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">DB2<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$225,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$325,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$475,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">DB4 GT<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$2,000,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$2,500,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$3,000,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">DB4 GT Zagato<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$8,000,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$9,000,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$10,000,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">Austin-Healey<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">100 M<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$100,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$150,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$175,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">100 S<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$700,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$850,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$1,000,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">100-6 MM<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$65,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$85,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$110,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">3000<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$60,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$80,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$110,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">Bizzarrini<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">5300 Strada<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$700,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$800,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$900,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">BMW<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">3.0CSL Group 2<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$600,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$800,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$1,000,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">3.5CSL M49<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$1,500,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$1,800,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$2,000,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">Chevrolet Camaro<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">\n<p>\u201867-\u201971 Trans Am<\/p>\n<p>Team Penske<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$800,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$875,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$950,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">\n<p>\u201866-\u201970 Trans Am<\/p>\n<p>Independent<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$175,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$175,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$250,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">Chevrolet Corvette<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">Greenwood 1974-1977<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$300,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$400,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$600,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">BFG 1968-1969<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$750,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$825,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$900,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">J.G. 1968-1969<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$700,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$750,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$850,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">Chevrolet<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">\u201856-\u201962 Corvette<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$50,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$75,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$125,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">\u201863-\u201967 Corvette<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$50,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$100,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$150,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">\u201868-\u201972 Corvette<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$50,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$100,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$150,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\">Cobra<\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">289 Team Comp<\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\">$2,000,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$2,200,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"17%\">$2,500,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"26%\">289 Ind.

Jaguar had a serious interest in international racing, in particular the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, each June, at the eight-mile Circuit de la Sarthe. To achieve success, Jaguar built the C-Type with a lightweight, multi-tubular frame designed by William Haynes, and an aerodynamic, all-aluminum body designed by Malcolm Sayer. The 3.4-liter, inline six-cylinder engine from the XK production car was modified with triple carburetors and high-lift camshafts to produce 220 bhp. The Moss 4-speed gearbox was used. Disc brakes were added for superior stopping power. A lightweight, nimble, good handling racecar was created, with 53 cars built from May 1952 until August 1953. Of those, 43 were sold into private hands, with many going to the USA. The C-Type won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright twice, in 1951 and 1953. This against the might of Ferrari with its 12-cylinder cars and Mercedes-Benz with its new 300SL.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The C-Type set many new standards, including the use of 4-wheel disc brakes long before Ferrari, Mercedes or Maserati. This was a time in motor racing when a manufacturer saw the value of engineering a car for racing in international competition. Today the C-Type is highly sought after among collectors, and a joy to see at concours or historic races.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>1965 Cobra Daytona Coupe<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_761282\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-761282\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG201706-p2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-761282 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG201706-p2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG201706-p2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG201706-p2-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG201706-p2-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG201706-p2-100x65.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG201706-p2-770x498.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG201706-p2-293x189.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-761282\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Pete Austin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There was a time, in automotive history, when one man with passion, entrepreneurship and a vision could make a difference in the racing world. It all started from humble beginnings in a shop in Venice, California. Carroll Shelby and his connection to Ford in the 1960s was an example of that time and its resulting success. Shelby and his talented band of hot rodders, fabricators and racers had created the 289 Ford V8-powered Cobra roadster and started racing it. In search of a more aerodynamic shape and faster car, the beautiful Cobra Daytona Coupe was designed around a wrecked roadster. This rebody of an existing model was allowed by the FIA homologation rules. The Daytona was specifically designed for the high-speed European race circuits with the goal of winning the FIA GT World Sports Car Championship. The aerodynamic body was designed by Pete Brock, and the suspension by Bob Negstad. The first car was built in Venice and tested at Riverside. The remaining bodies were built by Carrozzeria Gran Sport in Italy. Only six cars were built. Success came with class wins at Sebring, Le Mans, Daytona, Monza, N\u00fcrburgring, Reims and other circuits, and resulted in a Manufacturers World GT\u2008Championship against the might of Ferrari, Porsche Aston Martin, Jaguar and others that was the first for an American car constructor. Today, these cars are in the hands of some great collections and a joy to see when brought out to the races.\u00a0 An appreciating asset and part of racing history.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Criteria Used For Assessing Valuations for this Guide:<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Degree of Originality<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Overall Condition, Restoration<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Technology, Design, Coachbuilder<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Production Numbers\/Rarity<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Competition History<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Ownership History, Documentation<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Modern Event Eligibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regional Variances<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The prices stated in this guide are based on U.S. values.
