Sure would like to talk to them about that 400i. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=136754719&postcount=1
I'm pretty sure it is on Lamar.... I stopped by it a year or two ago and they had several scary looking Ferraris. If you are at the breakfast on Sat maybe we can go by afterwords.
Just noticed you are in Houston.... I will try and stop by to get the address and take a few pics if you like.
The early 308GTB looks nice though.....dusty but nice....... There was a lot on South Lamar but I don't think this is the same place, maybe I dunno
Dave, when I told you there was a yellow 400i in Austin, that's that one I was talking about. I know the owner of the dealership... he's a FCA member and somewhat active in our club. All there cars I've seen are in pretty poor condition. I asked them to get me an early 308gts, 308GT4 or a Mondial for $20K-$30K and they insulted my intelligence by calling me back and telling me they could sell me 308 for $45K. They've never had a 308 worth $45K! I also know that they advertised a 575M on their site that was never for sale. It was owned by the neighbor of the owner of the dealership. They showed it to me in their office on their computer and said they just got it and it was being stored somewhere else with 12 other Ferraris. Then I talked to the owner of the car and he said it was never for sale. Since I knew they were neighbors and presumably good friend, I didn't discuss the matter any further with him. Seems very shady to me... Give me a minute and I'll find contact info for you.
This should be their phone number. (512) 482-9977 address: 706 N Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78703 Their URL redirects me to their electric car website. www.internationalmotorsportsofaustin.com
Thanks Mike. The 400i is #46859. They told me it has been sold. You won't believe this.....they painted it yellow, it used to be blue! The search for #51697, the only factory yellow 400i, continues...
It would have looked a lot better in blue. I wonder why they painted it. They had a couple of white 308s not too long ago... not sure if they sold. He gets a lot of old, very rough Ferraris.
TexasMike, thanks for posting the contact info. I should have posted it when i posted the pics. For the last 2 months, i've been stopping by at random times and calling, with no luck. It seems they are on vacation. Although, that 308GTB and 400 have been recently added to the rag top and white 308 GTS collection. Here is a pic of the white one. Sorry for the quality of my cell phone pics. Next time i am there, i'll take more high res pics. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hey, Texas Mike, the 575M was for sale at one time, it was mine. But I decided not to sell it so they took it off the site. My buddy is a legit stand-up guy.
