[JMinPDX]

Interesting. Enough people think I am detective Columbo, if I drive that car it will fully confirm it.

Always wanted one...
Cheapest way to say you have a Ferrari 275 ?


Maybe when I'm done with my e9

Incredible, hundreds of high end exotics and parts apparently just left outside to gradually return to the earth. 1956 alloy gullwing estimate $4-6M

That 503 would be awesome restored! I saw "The Countess" close up.

For many of these - you are basically just purchasing a VIN - so to speak....
To get some of these to be remotely restored, you'd have to remanufacture the car from the ground up.
That's my take anyway...
