it could be considered an 'investment' because it is a concept car...
but you would only ever be able to sell it to another person who
plans to stare or ooogle at it ( at least in the US or Canada ).

Sandy or anyone that he may sell to in the future. But I would find
it very annoying having such a cute car and never being able to drive
it legally on the road ( although I did swap my Mustang Cobra's
plates on to the McLaren during the initial rebuilding of that car in
order to take it to the transmission shop to get a new trannie
dropped into it ;)
