"Buy it Now" Daytona on Ebay for $225K

Looks like it's got a touch of rust underneath.

 

This car looks like real trouble. First look at the drivers door the bottom edge looks way out of spec. I would not be surprised if this car has been hit. Also look at the way its sits from the rear, its very canted another sign. Also I would agree the bottom does look like rust maybe surface rust, but in a Vintage Ferrari that looks to me like it has been sitting for a long time that means lots and lots of money to fix. Buyer Beware is all I can say!

 

Just RELAX! Why is it when a " lesser " car comes on the market at a lesser price people jump off the cliff and think all the apples are the same lesser value, they are NOT! I have a Daytona coupe that as we speak I can sell for nearly twice that amount if I choose. Knowledgeable buyers are keenly aware of the difference in quality, and the amount of time/money it takes to turn that lesser car into the top level car that's why it's cheap!

 

I, for one, would be interested as my labor rates where I live are incredibly low. Plenty of artisans that know what they are doing.
What would it cost in the USA to restore such a car or one similar?
Regards,
Alberto

 

Define "restore".

 

Got another inexpensive one enroute Alberto

Will be with me in two weeks, will send you pictures privately

Bad News IT DOES NOT NEED A RESTORATION

 

Restoration, to me Tom, is a very subjective word, particularly in the "concours scene", but my thoughts on it, is to bring back a car to it's original (or very close to) state when it left the factory. Of course, if it's "your car", you can do whatever you want.
Personally, I would much prefer a nicely used, original product, without parts missing. Just like an old suit, it still fits (depends on you) and still looks nice
even after many years, even if out of style, pleasing to the eye. The only car, I never had to restore, is my original, re-painted Alfa GTV.
The rest, well, it's another story.
I will await for the PM photos, thank you! Best, Alberto
PS the fact that it does not need to be restored, is a pleasant feature...

 

Sorry, I meant Ed.
