MY thoughts exactly! Mitchell has most probably has enough of everything. Just ask his sister.

 

Hey! Share, will ya?

Thoughts of making a pilgrimage to Lexington briefly flashed through my mind.

I'm pretty shure that you've forgotten more about these cars than I know.

 

easy now on an old man, of course i'll need 180 days same as cash. right now all restore projects are on hold until uncle sam distributes our share of this new recovery.

 

PICS?

I hope you can keep that car and bring it back to its original glory! We have a gal that brings her Maserati 3500GT to our Italian Concours every year. She inherited the car from her Grandfather. SHE LOVES it, and loves taking it to all the car shows. She won 1st place for Maserati - Classic at our show last year.

I live about 3 miles from Maserati Club International. They have millions of dollars of new parts for the older GT cars. I know Diane has bought lots of stuff from them to keep her 3500 up to par. Not sure if you know about MCI, here is the their website. They've been around since 1976:

you did it, the photos. looks as if the car is in good shape. i think you could get the 10=12G's you want, no problem

 

Yes, pictures are not the best for judging condition of cars. However, I think there are some people on this board much more qualified than me who can say if it is possible (and realistic) to keep it original/ preserved. They may have a better sense of what that entails too.

Besides, I think there is now a preservation class at the Pebble Beach Concours. Actually they have two, for pre and post war cars. http://www.pebblebeachconcours.net/pages/3907/index.htm

And that Ferrari I mentioned before is being discussed here as well.

"Preserving" a car can cost a lot of money as well. If the car has been kept in good running condition it's a much better candidate for this. Also, if you're doing the work yourself it can mean a big savings in dollars but not time. If you're paying someone to do the work then expect big bills. This car looks to me like a potentially decent target for a restoration which for this model in this market is going to be way upside down. You might start out on a "preservation" pathe and end up on more of a "restoration" one for even higher expense. I know of someone who took another Italian exotic in probably much better condition than this car and paid a qualified specialist over $20K just to get it barely running for a potential sale. He lost money on the deal and shouldn't have. If you're OK with those sorts of bills and really want to keep the car then go for it. You have to have passion and determination for these sorts of projects. It really helps in overcoming the irrational realities of such an undertaking. Otherwise, take Mitchell's advice and don't spend more than $500 prepping it for sale. A really good detailing will help (fool) a lot.
