    In some stories this yellow modern car meant to recall the design cues of the 1954 275 GTB Competition is attributed to an order from Ray Walton of Walmart and indeed, this was Ferrari's practice at the time to name Speciales after the customer as the EC was named after Eric Clapton.

    Here's the story in Italian
    Ferrari SP275 RW Competizione

    Actually Rick Workman lives in Effingham Illinois although he likely has homes all over the world. He is a dentist whose company owns I believe 900+ dental offices.

    Yes, it's a pretty nice place and underwent renovations not long ago with a much larger garage. I should've gone to dental school instead of med school...what was I thinking.
