Pics of vintages I find/see on the net.

Great pic/ thanks for posting. Would you mind also posting this in the Vintage Ferrari Market subforum in the thread on 3765?

 

Done.

 

Yeah but the caption is misleading, it should have said « most expensive Ferrari sold at public auction »

 

And a free car wash when it rained

 

Hahaha yes, the infamous roof!

 

Wild picture ! - After a second look note that only 1 person
was looking at the car !! Not sure how many years ago this was

Too bad the towel isn't matching.

Towel is a replica.
Car is not.

 

I saw that the towel was not certified.

I was told it is a brand new electric towel, completely CO2 neutral.......

Here are some pictures of a couple reeealy old "Ferraris" that I took at the Sonoma Historics in May 2013. Sorry, I don't know the years or model designations, much less these cars' race history. Maybe someone can fill in the blanks.

Here are four photos of a 250 TR from the May 2014 Sonoma Historics. If I recall correctly what folks were saying about this car, for decades it had belonged to a gent of modest means, living in Berkeley, California, who had recently passed away. He had bought the car as a personal play toy, long before anyone was thinking about four figure ex-race cars turning into eight figure museum displays. It was said that this man drove this car as it was intended to be driven on a regular basis, maybe the last of the 250 TR owners to do so.

One more photo of the TR. I just noticed the blue masking tape on the dash-mounted box in the cockpit photo: Senza benzina (out of gas).

Thanks for the great pics, Bill.

 

Another man of modest means who enjoyed on a regular basis to make noise with an irreplaceable Ferrari was this fellow Jack, who would nearly always bring out his SWB California Spyder whenever the impromptu club Ferrari Owners Group (FOG) would hold its monthly Ferrari fun run on the Peninsula. Here is a May 2013 photo of Jack at the wheel in the parking lot of the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton, where we stopped for lunch that day. What I recall is that he imported the car from Italy in 1969, at a price of $3,000. The top had not been put up for so long that it could no longer do so, and the engine never went over 4,500 rpm. He would tell you that the famous Berkeley Ferrari whisperer Patrick Ottis offered to give him the car's full 8,000 rpm with a $50,000 rebuild. He chose to keep the $50,000 and the short shifting.

Here's another of Jack's Cali, parked next to my '83 400i across CA 34 from Alice's Restaurant in Woodside.
