What exactly makes that a $300,000 car?

Inflation and too many rich folks trying to "one-up" their neighbors.

FWIW, back in 1971 the Ferrari 275 GBT/4 was $14,700, or so I was told by the owner.

Inflation Calculator

"What cost $14,700 in 1971 would cost $82,200 in 2012."

The 71 still comes in under that mass-market looking thing that got squished. It’s cuter, on top of that. Although I realize that “cute” isn’t car talk...
