Nuts.  

 

Not really true "barn finds" as someone knew what and where they were.

That first car, the 500... Imagine attempting to restore that car.

Looks like a Shelby Cobra had a bastard child with a Porsche 914

Looks like Gumby had a roll in the sack with some play-do.

I'd give it a shot, little worse than my 510 but it'd be worth a bit more once finished. Doubt I could ever scratch up enough to buy the pile though.

That car just sold at Monterey $1,875,000.

Wow!  Love this stuff.  We had a customer with a 1971 GTB/4 Daytona (second one in video) that had some mods.  He was involved in the classic Ferrari scene, went to events.  6+ years ago, out at Montery, he saw a white 250GT that was beat to hell, turned out the guy was from right here in Golden!  Jeff bought it around 1968 wrecked, he & brother "fixed it up" & drove it daily for a number of years.  That car ended up at Ignite Performance where I worked, to get it running again.  It was horrible.  He had a 2L Coke bottle as a gas tank, it fit down inside the LeMans fuel filler neck, a RUBBER PLUG in the oil pan drain, a short piece of PVC pipe jammed on the steering shaft to hold the steering wheel on, mostly original under the hood (and I mean original fuel hoses etc!!!) & one hell of a rats nest for wiring!  That car tuned out to be a 1957 250GT TDF that raced at Nurburgring etc, ended up in the States in the early-mid 1960's!  He claimed he an open offer of $10 million, but passed!!  He kept it in his jam packed hoarders garage, with plain old insurance on it!!!  Jeff passed away in the last 2 years, we do not know if the family still has the car....................

I've always wanted a 400 series and when I heard the bid estimate, I almost set up an account to bid on it.
