    hmm.............

    Not far from where I live, looks like a very neat car.........

    Must be a very late model for a non-4cam looking at the SN..............

    A fair price (in today's mkt) would be 850k, but because of auction prices and the typical "initial way-too-high" asking price that dealers apply, they are probably thinking of a number around 1.15m. The last year I would have ever even considered buying a 275GTB was 1986, when they were still around $50,000. They skyrocketed the following year to $150k, and by 89, they were $750k.

    Torque tube cars started at 8305 and ended at 9021. About 108 2 cam 275gtb long nose, torque tube cars made. I bought mine (8933) summer 2003 and now thinking about letting it go. The problem is once it's gone, I am out for good. It's a nice thought to be able to buy another at 300K someday but I just can't see that happening.

    These will fall hard because they rose more than most in the bubble. Any sellers should sell quick, but they've clearly missed the top of the market and should look for 20% below 6 months ago and quickly falling.

    com on Matt, you talked me out just 1 year ago! Keep that thing and enjoy! If you dont need the cash drive it, smell it, feel it and touch it. You might get a better price now than next year, but yours is great and you knoe every bolt and nut.

    Jim might com in (Napolis) as this is another (kind of) 70's song....

    ciao

    Matt: I have to second Brian's question - Letting it go??? Can't do that until I get a ride in it. I only had a chance to sit in it once!

    Paul: You can take a spin in it any time you want. Sorry I could not make it on Columbus day.
    Oscar: I think we both have the same passion for this model. There is just something about the 275gtb.

    On the other hand, the Alexandria traffic was no place for the 275...

    Hi Bill: I know you loved these cars. I remember a photo taken in your driveway with three 275gtb's. What is amazing is two 275gtb's you once owned ended up with owners within a few block of each other. Thanks for all you help over the years when I had questions about 8933. I now have all its history from new.

    But the GW Parkway can be fun in a 275 or a Luso. Bill When did you live in Alexandria? I lived there and Arlington on and off 1977-2000.
