I'm also curious about one thing. I get the impression from what I've read that factory error models aren't considered valuable (?). Is that a correct assessment or are there exceptions?
I would not say that error pieces have no value, Many of us collect errors so on a common model a good error piece might actually fetch more than a standard one,
But the reverse would probably be true if it were a rare variation or colour.

Some collectors also like certain types of error, for example wheels, decals, paint, trim and so on. There's lots to choose from but I like the inverted "6" on the Ford GT.
