Wayne even said on his TV Show that he "USUALLY" prices his cars "a little higher than they are listed for using the Hagerty dot Com Valuation tool"!
Now just because a car is listed at a high price doesn't mean it will sell for that price! That gives a car salesman a higher price to wiggle with no different than Ted Vernon does. Albeit Ted rarely keeps cars for sale around $1MM!
Unfortunately when a business with a small office staff sometimes customers can get lost in the hustle. This of course is an unfortunate part of doing business.
Since the TV Show started Wayne's attention and dedication to F40 has probably increased four fold. And profits have gone through the roof. He also does charity work for Autism Speaks and a charity that works with Children with Cancer. So I imagine his dance card is very full.
And another happening that has HAPPENED since the beginning of the TV show is the Collector Car Market has gone through the roof. Just look at the historical data at Hagerty's and one can see that when people stopped investing in precious and non-precious metals and to a lesser degree the stock market's and industrial averages that 'some' Collectors Cars have have increased to the point of mad. Four Cam Ferrari's and the Daytonas have recovered. Porsche 959's and Carrera GT's and especially the McLaren F1's have quadrupled for some version i.e. the LM model. And that is a very small list but unfortunately the American brands haven't rode the ride like other foreign brands if made after circa 1950 and forward. But we will always have the Tuckers, early Packards, Duesenbergs and the rare prewar Cars that folded after the war was over.
I cannot personally offer an apology for those individuals on behalf of Wayne, his staff and F40 Motorsports in general. But as the saying goes "ISH HAPPENS", you can probably imagine where I was going with the word ISH! If I could offer an apology on their behalf I would for all my dealings have...

Since watching the TV show Chasing Classic Cars I thought I had a good understanding of the shop and their level of professionalism, and boy was I wrong.
After spending nearly a small fortune repairing his Lamborghini and making numerous phone call to the shop regarding their poor workmen ships my father car is still in the shop at a local Lamborghini dealership basically having the work redone by actual professional.
As the saying goes don’t believe the hype!!! If you have a vintage car and it needs repair I would stay away from...
Read moreRecently bought a "newer" muscle cars from these guys over the internet and everything went great! The car was as displayed and the service was good- no pressure and no extra bs. They sold me a solid car at a fair price and delivered on everything as promised. I would recommend them to anyone looking for that "special" car and wanting it from a reputable & fair dealer who knows their cars and their business. They helped with wiring the cash and even referred a great shipping company to deliver my car is perfect shape & quickly. 5...
