What you spend on a car to win a concours bears no relation to the
absolute value of the car. It is possible to spend $3,000,000 on a car
and the car is "only" worth $2,000,000 at auction. BTW I am just
guessing but the $3,000,000 probably didn't include purchesing,
shipping, etc. In the Stratospheric World of Pebble Beach you can't
put a price on ego. The point is you can always spend more money on a
car then it could ever be worth. Most people would pull out their
reciepts from the mechanic and agree. It is just that this is
magnified and exaggerated in the world of Concours Judging. Concours
is certainly not for everyone but for the ones that want to compete it
offers everyone else a peek at the "best of the best"!
