Where To Get Honest Valuations

the 360 values are easily determined however the vintage cars value will depend on the provenance and the overall condition!..and like many of the other collector/dealers that post/lurk here we're also interested in helping you research/figure out exactly what you have.fortunately there are several ferrari models like yours going up for auction quite soon both here and overseas which may give a hint of where the values of these cars are going..lets all hope for the best!!

 

by chance are these at the "garage" in bedford? It's where I keep my GTO collection.

 

Smart move Stocks are only worthless if you try to sell them right now, or the company goes under with no buyout.

 

Sad to hear about your Dad. We all hope and pray he'll get better. He has an incredible collection.

Exactly. Very good advice from BigTex.

 

The best cars do not sell at auction in your market category. They sell by word of mouth and by broker.

 

Uhhhh......

 

So after about 4 or 5 years on this site and seeing, calling out BS...

Any one else at all smell anything fishy on this... maybe just a smig

1.) you dad is a car guy (with one hell of a nice collection...)
2.) He has his son (not a car guy) get on a site and try to gather information to sell some of them
3.) with about 3 of the cars you listed - your dad has some pretty good contacts not only to get these cars, but to maintain them
4.) you dad also has two modern F cars in the 360 and 599 - the first place you go is your dealer or broker that he has dealt with.

Ok young man - I fly between NYC and the midwest about every week. Am a collector and have had (and have) Lambos and Ferrari's. As a consultant on the site (I even have specialties in older F cars). I will fly out, give you an evaluation on all your cars - no charge at all.

my email is [email protected]

Some of the F and L cars are on my web site which is the same as my email. Let me know if this is for real and you would like some help evaluating and taking some pics.

Or just have your sister - just give us a few shots of the outside of a few of them.... Lets start with the 275 GTS - remember don't pull shots from the web, we know many of these cars and that would end the fun much to quickly.

Thanks for Playing

 

Richard, I am shocked at you!! This guy is obviously legit!!


(Ok ok ok.... Yea, after reading it again, I have to play this.....)

Know what guys?

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

If his story is true, it's tragic and he deserves as much help as we can provide.

If it's not true, then it's equally sad, and he deserves as much ... well, we'll wait on that one.

Michael, if you're traveling with your Dad, it should be quite simple. I don't know anyone out there who wouldn't know the serial number of one or more of his collector cars, not the 360, too long and complicated, but the early cars have rather simple serial #'s. See if your Dad can come up with one or two for us, that would go a long way towards dispelling concerns about your legitimacy, and in some cases, give us enough information to know EXACTLY which car we're trying to help you value.

IP check Dave?

 

Should dad's faculties be impaired currently, the mechanic will know them by heart.

 

Uhhh.... Because its fun?

Because it get people excited?
Because you get to play act like you are something you are not?

The list is endless and happens here a TON!

So yea, your post out of nowhere with a fortune in FCars you have to unload is a little if not a lot impressive... and a little unbelievable.

That you do not understand why we are cautious if not flat out calling BS on you is either absurd or you dont know much about the internet.

 

Then you did not read my post right above yours.

 

Here read this thread by a guy called "otaku" and you will see why we are cautious.

It's much harder to realize value from cars, especially the ones you are talking about. If I were you, I'd sell the stocks now and work on selling the cars over time. You can always buy the stocks back later, probably at a lower price in these markets.

The rest of the advice in this thread is good-- I'd take it, especially from Napolis.

 

I think it was mentioned earlier, but I'd also consider just contacting your father's dealer and seeing if he'll make an offer on the 360 and 599. The market for those is weak, but the cars will likely only decline in price further. The vintage cars might take some time to realize their value; so stocks could go next, then the vintage cars.

 

Michaelc

in plain English.

We've had dozens of guys here over the year make claims similar to yours. Of those, perhaps two have been real, the rest, all fakes looking to impress us with what they "have in their collection." Or pehaps as is the case in another thread now, to scam us with a car they can, or will not prove they own, but claim to want to sell for $700K.

We're a sympathetic bunch with almost limitless resources to help with a problem, when it's real. But having been led down the primrose path on numerous occasions, we're careful not to get overly excited by a post like yours.

And, it's always a double edged sword. We hope against hope that your story is not true, because if it is true, your father's suffering at this time must be immense. But if true, we're ready to help.

There, in a nutshell, is our issue.

This is complete BS...

Game over - go away.

 

I'll take the one for the 360...!

I think just one serial number from one of the older cars would be sufficient enough to determine the legitimacy of all of this. And if your father was/is as in love with his cars as you stated early on in this thread, just one serial number wouldn't be too much for him to remember unless he has Alzheimer's disease.

In any case, I'm sorry about your father's failing health, and for the trouble it's causing you and your family. Can you tell us which cars were sold quickly and which cars are still available...?
