    It's a PO Box in Kissemmee, FL......if you google his name you'll find a trail of civil lawsuits where the City is hassling him to remove old construction trailers and stuff, from his developments....

    He has kids you know,..... they'll get the cars.

    He's just a lonely old guy since his wife died, leave him alone......

    It would be awesome to have him post a few cranky comments, Like Basul Shadlun did....LOL!

    Walter is quite pleasant to deal with. None of our purchases had even a hint of conflict although they were all quite unique and interesting!

    We always enjoy business with him and while he has his ways and beliefs, I would be happy to do business with him again.

    Cheers,

    Bill

    You might familiarize yourself with the definition of "reclusive", in the dictionary! :D :D

    He does have a very interesting public records history doesn't he. The most interesting to me was his permit for "Dangerous Cats" with the Florida Wildlife Commission. Maybe he's collecting Jaguars now!

    I'd imagine more likely, lions patrol the Compound perimeter!

    MANY THANKS, MARCEL!!!!!!

    A very Happy New Year to you!

    Cartier sponsorship! I have an excellent relationship with them, as a consumer!
    I'll make a few calls....

    So the NART BBLM is one of his cars actually maintained in running condition? Last I saw it was "in the barn" in the R&T article, covered in dust. I suppose 1989 is a long time ago, now........

    Thanks again!

    That's pretty old information. I had it in my ROLODEX....does anyone else use a ROLODEX, in these modern times of the Blackberry????

    I threw away three old girlfriends, and a recently dead friend of mine, just going thru the "M"s......

    I suppose we ALL do.......my screen on the Drivers License info takes about three pages on the Squad Car CRT.......I have seen it....from hand cuffed in the back seat!

    Frequent Offender since 1974...not so much recently, I guess gray hair has it's advantages.....they handle you a little more gently, and you can't run off as fast.........:D

    Did you see the buildings AFTER the hurricane, also the one where I believe the NART BBLM was.................The steel construction was all over the cars.....so do not think the car is still as in Marcel's photo (or he may have restored them, but I don't think so)

    Hm, I need to read up on the BBLM's. I thought the Cartier sponsored car had the flowing wide rear-end?

    In any case, this is a pretty wonderful but sad story.

    Big Tex, you're going to have to compete with me on that one!

    He has more than one building.....:D

    I am working on the 512BB prototype, that will have to be enough!

    The 365BBLM is actually quite out of the question, LOTTO winnings excluded...LOL!

    The BB LM is a 512 BB LM and not a 365 BB LM. Medlin acquired #24131 from Chinetti in 1979.

    I believe that Walter owns my full-race lightweight Lusso these days. If you read Ferrari Chat Walter, email me at [email protected]. I have period photographs and race results etc for the car, and I live only an hour or two away from you. I would be happy to meet up sometime. Don Nelson
