Reply #33 – October 20, 2009, 08:01:01 AM Quote from: 50tbrd88;295601Yeah why worry about driving it in the rain when your "help" cleans it up for you.Well, in some cases you would be correct. Of course, you are talking detail services that cost thousands of dollars, and even though these guys can afford a Ferrari, money is still money.On the other hand, many of these guys do detail their own cars. Plus, it's not like Ferrari 330GT 2+2 parts are a dime a dozen. Want a new windshield? Wait until there is enough demand for a company to make a run of 10 more, then pay 3K for it. Want a new fender because of a "little mishap?" You have to have someone make it! No "reproductions" out there!When is the last time someone at a muscle car show told you to "go ahead and sit in it!" Several told me to do just that at this show. Don't get me wrong, I love American cars! I'm just saying that these guys are gearheads just like us. Only a set of pistons for their cars are priced in the thousands :eek:Shiny Side Up!Bill Quote Selected
Rare cars spotted... Reply #34 – October 20, 2009, 08:10:58 AM A few more... The Blue car is a Ferrari 400. They can be picked up for around 30K, but watch out if it needs engine work! A complete rebuild can run you another 30K or more! The gray car is a DeTomaso Longchamp, powered by a Ford small block. The owner actually worked on the De Tomaso assembly line in Italy as a young man, and helped build this actual car!Shiny Side Up!Bill Quote Selected
