    I snuck a couple hours down at Classic Coach. Kudos to Frank, Rocco, Carlos, Carlos & crew for making me feel at home & letting me enjoy the amazing machinery.

    AMAZING.

    Noto and I were headed down and got stuck in HEINOUS traffic in New Jersey... after an hour we turned around and went home. :-(

    If you mean the car in shots 6 & 7...that is a custom-rebuilt Dino that one of the CC mechanics owns. It's a good bit of design & construction actually.

    Does anyone know more about the black Maserati? I was told it was a one-of-a-kind, but can't remember its name.

    This is a very famous car. Shown at Pebble Beach, raced, etc. etc.

    1957 Maserati 450S Costin-Zagato Coupe

    Here is a link to read on some of the history.

    Rob, that was the knightrider ferrari. :)

    Anyway it was nice being there and saying hi to some old friends. Beautiful cars, especially the pearl maserati. The Murci's were nice but i still think they should go on a diet.

    Sorry to hear it. The only thing being flatbedded in while I was there was Lambos from LoBC. Define "Shot", 'cause certainly Carlos can work his magic. When I was there he was working on a 400 rebuild. The block was so spotless & almost sparkling, it looked fresh from the factory.

    It was absolutely gorgeous! Judging by the shape, I'd say early 50's. Classic has an unbelievable array of vintage cars. There was an Alfa there that was spectacular as well.

    Clyde, thanks for showing me around the shop! cheers rhett... kudos as well to Carlos and Metha for spotting the coolant hose that was about to go! would have been a real bummer if that had let loose on the Tpke heading home.
