    So today at Cars and Coffee in California our very own Tom S. brought out his latest barn find.

    Despite the buzz around the car I really was not sure what the big deal is. A magnet would not stick to the body so you know it is all bondo under the paint, it had 4 flat tires that were hastily filled with air, and someone dumped a bunch of junky old tools and books in the trunk :D

    For the rest of you that may be interested here are the photos of a lovely original alloy body 275 GTB with all the original tools and books. Well done Tom.

    Does it run? Could it be cleaned up and preserved?

    I am guessing that the parking permit sticker on the rear bumper was required to make sure it didn't get towed from the "Reserved" space.....

    What a cool find!

    Is it going to be restored, Tom?

    Awesome! So nice to see these things come to light. Would love to learn the story behind it.

    Wild guess: Sitting since the 70's. I suspect that parking sticker wouldn't have been put on in the 80's.

    I heard he was going to chop the top and put a Viper V10 lump in the car. Until then, however, he is going to use it as a planter box.

    This beauty has just appeared on bringatrailer and in the description they note Tom S is taking her to Concorso Italiano and then listing her in the Gooding auction.

    This car has been shown on FChat before right? Picture was of it in the same garage as above but taken from the rear.

    I do hope it is allowed the respect of a decent clean before it is shown. With some proper detailing and new tyres this car would look real original. Currently it just looks unloved.

    While I agree that a decent cleaning/detailing is in order, it would be great to see an unrestored (read: unmolested) 275 still roaming the earth.
