I bought a NIB Subc from a trusted seller on this site in 2014. A few months later I bought a D serial Coke GMT from another trusted seller here. ( both sellers were outstanding in every way ). I was startled at the time though, that the GMT being ten years old ( and a safe queen as it turned out ) was over 80% of the cost of the new Sub. Oh well I bought the GMT anyways. I would have bought three of them if I knew then, what I know now.
I would admit under slight duress and a dim bright light, that the GMT makes me happier than the Sub. I treasure both of course, but GMT is very special.
To the OP - if you want a 1969 Ferrari Daytona you'll have to buy one used. Like the five digit GMT that's the only way they come these days.

That seems excessive.
