    Quote:

    Distributed through Chic Vandagriff’s Hollywood Sports Cars, the 246 GTS was purchased new by Hollywood socialite Sandra West. Ms. West had inherited a vast estate of Texas oil money through her deceased husband and became a fixture on the celebrity tabloid scene of Hollywood in the mid-1970s, indulging in a life of excess. She was the owner of several Ferraris, including a 330 America. As per a very bizarre request in her will, following her untimely passing, her body was dressed in her favorite nightgown and placed behind the wheel of her 330 America, which was then encased in concrete and interred, a macabre scene that made headlines around the nation.

    Well, that's what most buyers of exotic/rare/vintage cars often initially claim, but rarely actually do so.

    Not trying to sound Like an ass, but yes, I do.

    The results were not public, and the buyer does not want the publicity.

    I will say this, anyone thinking it was some cheap way to buy, they are wrong.

    The buyer knew what they wanted and bid to secure it. I know a friend that bid far higher than I would have thought. They were so far away, there is no way to describe or try to explain.

    Let me say this.

    This Dino sold for much more than anyone would guess. Don’t even try and guess.

    The owner is on F-Chat, if you want to post, please do so.

    I don’t expect to hear anything.

    Dino is now trashing Daytona. I don’t want to say that because that’s so sound bad, but......
