If you were born in the late 60's or early 70's and had kept those vintage car posters in mint condition, despite being taped to your room wall for years, then you may be just due for a pricy compensation.
Auction houses reported that ars that were the subjects of the most popular dorm room wall posters of the 1980s are rapidly rising in value. For example, in 2012, Gooding and Company auctioned at its Pebble Beach sale, a beautifully restored 1976 Lamborghini Countach LP400 for the then unheard of price of US$ 600,000. In 2014 at the same sale, Gooding sold another early Countach (in need of a full restoration) for a cool US$ 1.6 million.
The LP400 was built from 1974 to 1978 and is the first production iteration of the legendary Countach. Because of this, it is by far the most representative of designer Marcello Gandani’s original vision for the wedge-shaped supercar.
It features the same general shape and scissor doors of other Countachs, but it’s also decidedly sleeker, lacking the blunt lines and extraneous details that would work their way into the designs of later models (as cool as they may look to some). The LP400 is also one of the rarest Countachs, with only around 150 rolling off the line during the four years it was in production.
So, let's all go back to our attics and storage bins and find out if we still have those old posters of Lamborghini Countach (1974-89); Porsche 911SC (1978-83) and Ferrari Testarossa (1984-91).
I have many of those posters, namely this one, the Alpine one. And people tell me it's worth nothing. Where can I sell it? It's been on my shelf for decades.
