This is a pretty cool story.

I'd like to know the value of the car. I saw where a M-B Gullwing sold at an auction for $58 million. That is the most I've ever seen paid for a car.
It can't be sold, so it is, quite literally, priceless.
31 and 32 modle Js are my all time favorite cars.
So, along the same lines as this car, there is a factory XJ13 Jaguar (the only one, not just the first one) sitting in a national museum in England. It can never be sold. So, are they tied for the most valuable car? Or would the Jag be worth more? There was only one Plymouth Sport Fury GT built in 1970 with a 426 Hemi, maybe the rarest production car ever. To me car values are what someone is willing to pay for it.
A Duesenberg SSJ, of which there are two, set the record for highest price paid for an American car when it sold in 2018 for $22M.

Dunno--did anyone turn down a blank check for the Jag or the Plymouth?
ETA: to be clear, I'm not calling it "the most valuable car on Earth." That's the folks from VINWiki; the thread title is the video's title.

Neat story.
In 2022, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR known as the Uhlenhaut Coupe sold for $142 million.
I understand it's not your clip. I have never heard anyone claim to own the Sport Fury. Good chance it was crushed years ago. I can't say who wrote checks for what. I know there's little chance such an offer was made on the Jag because it will never be for sale.
