Interesting Repro Ferraris On Ebay

I really like that TR style, '58 right? I like them alot more than the pontoon fendered cars. How much are they going for and is there a link to the auctions?

 

The bottom car is a Bimbo Racer made in Torino Italy in 1957. it was over $450.00 when it was new in 1957. One that was in about the same condition as the one in the picture sold for $11,500 at Monterey this weekend.

I have a Bimbo racer being restored right now...

Geg Jones is the Maestro of recreations, his GTOs and TRs are legendary albeit fakes. The TR on Ebay is a Greg Jones car. Honestly, they are not worth anywhere near what some fools pay for them, however, I'm still glad there are artists who spend time building them. I had a Beck Porsche 550 spyder that was a fun car but that's because I paid $15k for it and used it like a toy.

 

GTB4NART was looking at the beck spider as a toy what do you think???I was thinking of buying one new what are they bringing used???

 

I bought mine for $13k 4 years ago. I sold it for $21k. I put $100 into it. The guy who bought it put $9k more into it (authentic Porsche appearance stuff) and sold it on Ebay last month for $25k. I'd say a nice enough driver has a $20k selling price. They are fun toys for nice days and that's as far as it goes - really light, 5 gallon gas tank, smells of a VW, brakes are a little weak and the shifter was a little vague; all of that is just like the real thing. You have to deal the attention it gets, both good and bad - equally bothersome to me. The Beck was worth every penny. After I sold it, I was thinking of a Cobra Daytona replica but never seemed to get there.

 

I'm a sucker for these old kids toys especially when they are done nicely...this one is SO tempting.....closest I'll get to owning this from Ferrari [even though missing the Cavallino etc.]
