Special paint/colors and run of the mill Celeb owned don't typically add a lot (if anything) from the ones I have seen.
Exceptions to every rule, like I mentioned "an Icon" : McQueen, ect.
The real value is the actual car/bike/ truck....they stand on their own for future value.
Collector Car Article blurb:
"...it appears that the price bump from celebrity ownership will vary from case to case. One thing seems clear, though, there will be at least a slight bump"

True...though purchase $$$ paid often inflated to obscene levels due to massive quantities of Adult Beverage consumption and blinding by chance for "15 seconds of TV fame" on broadcast auctions. And then too there is the advertised "hype"...
Ex: Original Hot Wheels Snake & Mongoose Truck Rigs and Funny Cars combined package (4-vehicles w spare T/F engine w Prudhomme driving Snake FC onto stage) were a no-sale for $1,000,000 bid "again" at auction (BJ).
