Owning your own fantasy car: Priceless? Not for those bidding on collectible cars at the annual classic car auctions held every January in Scottsdale, Ariz. This year brought out a number of vehicles truly in a class by themselves: a Mercedes-Benz owned by a late Romanian communist dictator, mobster Al Capone's personal Cadillac Town Car, and rocker Sammy Hagar's I Can't Drive 55 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Then there's the James Bond car for those with an alter ego as a globe-trotting and car-savvy secret agent. If money were no object... dream on.
