General Observations:

The values of classic Ferraris have experienced fluctuations influenced by factors such as model rarity, condition, provenance, and market demand. For instance, during the 1980s boom, investors caused prices to skyrocket, followed by a bust in the 1990s where values plummeted. Since then, the market has seen a steady appreciation in the value of collectible Ferraris. 

Please note that these figures are approximate and based on available data. For precise valuations, consulting classic car valuation guides, auction results, and marque-specific resources is recommended.​​
