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.

The championship was going to change for 1962, so what type of racing car would Ferrari\u2019s brilliant engineers create?<\/p>\n<p>The 250 GTO project was started by Ferrari\u2019s head engineer Giotto Bizzarrini who had done the 250 SWB. The body was designed by Sergio Scaglietti. When Bizzarrini left Ferrari, the GTO project was taken over by Mauro Forghieri. The GTO had a 2.0-liter V-12 producing 300-plus bhp. A newly designed 5-speed gearbox, a hand-welded tubular frame, front A arm suspension, a live rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes, Borrani wire wheels, and a stunning all-aluminum body.<\/p>\n<p>The FIA rules mandated that 100 cars be built for homologation into the GT category. So, 36 Series One and 3 Series Two GTOs were built. GTO stood for Grand Tourismo Omologato and this new GT version of the 250 SWB was an immediate success at its debut race\u2014the 1962 Sebring 12 Hour where it placed 2<sup>nd<\/sup>overall. The 250 GTO went on to win the World Manufacturer\u2019s Championship in 1962-1963 and 1964. Ferrari\u2019s sports car dominance was to continue with the GTO. Today, the GTO is considered one of the \u201cgreatest Ferraris of all time,\u201d and is one of the most valuable cars of all time.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>1974 BMW CSL \u201cBatmobile\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/D2X_6536-e1529623316770-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-608543 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/D2X_6536-e1529623316770-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/D2X_6536-e1529623316770-1.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/D2X_6536-e1529623316770-1-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/D2X_6536-e1529623316770-1-100x57.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/D2X_6536-e1529623316770-1-770x438.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/D2X_6536-e1529623316770-1-293x167.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The BMW factory in Munich was becoming more involved in motor sports by the early 1970s and was determined to build a contender for Group 2, Group 5, and IMSA Competition.\u00a0 The BMW competition department built a small batch of lightweight CSL racing cars.\u00a0They were called the \u201cBatmobile\u201d because of the fender flares, front spoiler, and large rear wing.<\/p>\n<p>The factory M49 engine was a 3.5-liter in-line six-cylinder with 4 valves per cylinder (24 valve), 30-degree angle cylinder head, and slide throttle fuel injection producing 450 bhp plus.\u00a0 The BMW factory built and raced less than ten of these M49 cars.\u00a0 When BMW Motorsports stopped racing in house, they built another batch of cars for a total of 29 and supplied them to Team Luigi in Belgium and Schnitzer and Alpina in Germany.\u00a0 The Group 2 car had a 12-valve, 3.2-liter engine for racing in the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft.\u00a0 The CSL was successful at the Sebring 12 Hour, where it won 1<sup>st<\/sup>place overall in 1975 and the Le Mans 24 Hour where it ran as a Group 5 car and finished in the top 10 in 1976.\u00a0 Factory drivers were Ronnie Peterson, Hans Stuck, Brian Redman, and other top stars of the day.\u00a0 A 3.5-liter, 24-valve, M49 spec factory car is a rare car and a thrill to watch at speed tussling with a Porsche RSR or Ford Capri RS.\u00a0 This car is certainly rarer than the more common RSR.<\/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.
