    Really? Guess I've never heard of that before. To be clear, I was only kidding, while making a point of what a nice collection of Lamborghinis he has on hand...

    Wasn't it Exotic Cars At Ceasar's Palace that charged people to enter the showroom to view the cars?

    There's also a dealer near Disney Orlando that charges to enter their showroom.

    If I had a shop full of cars, I would charge 5 or 10 per person and all go to charity....and let that be known to the people coming in.

    Yes it was. If you go there and tell them you are a serious shopper and not a looker they will gladly let you in at no charge. When I went there about 4 years ago, there stuff was seriously over priced for the quality they had there.

    There was another car dealer I stopped in to look in Clearwater Fla.(muscle car type) He wanted to charge admission. I left. His loss.

    I recently visited "Mistral Dreams" car dealer at Bussolengo, Verona, Italy.

    That is the biggest used supercar dealer in Europe.

    I did not pay anything, even if it was the first time i visited the shop.

    I think nobody is so stupid to pay a ticket to see a car for sale...

    Tinted windows on a Countach is just silly IMHO. Restricting visibility further in any of them makes no sense at all. But, each to their own :)

    Looks beautiful in preparation. But when the vastly expensive & time-consuming effort of a restoration is topped off by not even bothering to mount the correct mirrors (they are readily available), it doesn't speak well. Hopefully that's not the only non-original component replacement of convenience. Wheels are a tad shiny.

    that looks a lot like Frank’s car. If it is Frank’s car, good luck buying it.

    Yep for real.
    Dealership right outside the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green KY wants money to come in and look at the cars. I can't recall but I think it was $5-10.

    They have a bunch of vetts and muscle cars and nothing real rare.

    Franks F-ing car. This guy needs a serious ***** slap for what he has done to some good intentioned buyers. Love to tell him to his face. Wish we could get that car away from him WHATEVER it takes!

    Guys, give me the money. I will go to his house with cash AND a bank transfer ready and my truck and trailer. And won't leave his property without the car.

    Frank has got a serious problem. I think he gets a thrill out of baiting people. When it comes to the PPI step, he runs and hides. When I heard the car run, it was missing more than one cylinder. Buyer beware!!

    He seemed to offer this DD QV to different people at different numbers - what was the best number he offered? $120k was what my client was offered.
