Actually mate, no, you couldn't. You'd be lucky to buy any two of them for the price you'd get for the Ferrari!
Well, I dunno about that Aardy, A new Ferrari is touching $400,000.00!!! So, Apart from the Porsche going down pit lane, I really don't think the Charger, the Torana, The Mustang and the Mini would exceed that!!!!!

..the Mustang is the problem
why so?
a genuine A9x (low kms..no rust, new race engine ) is worth at least $200 large
(the owner, who I know, has been offered $250,000 and he knocked it back

)
and the Charger? about $150- $200k...
cheap when you consider the last reported GTHO sale was a cool one Mil
the Mini..in this company is petty cash
cheers

I should add ...........
the owner of this vehicle when sidelined earlier in the year after shoulder surgery
(resulting from a footie match) and unable to drive the A9X, used to go out into his garage
where the A9X is housed and cossetted, jump into the drivers seat
........and make
vroom vroom noises

Let's assume that all of the cars are ridgey didge:
'67 GT 350 Mustang - Approx $250,000!!
Mini Cooper - $10,000 to $15,000
'72 RT E49 Charger - Somewhere between $265,000 and $375,000!!!!!!!!
A9X Torana - $200,000 plus...
By my calculations, that adds up to more than you Ferrari.
These aren't pie in the sky figures. They are the sort of prices these cars are now selling for. I went looking to buy a Ford XB/XC Coupe recently. Couldn't find one in reasonable condition for under $20,000. Even rusty XY/XW V8 Falcons are selling for more than $15,000. It's out of control.
