All of you fellers in the Lone Star State hold on to your hat, cause you are about to see the most exotic belt buckle ever! Yessir, this here is a genuine Italyun Texas belt buckle. It has the Ferrari nose cap emblem and is surrounded by 24 REAL rhinestones. The buckle itself is made of actual metal and measures 3 1/4" by 4 1/2". I know it is a collector item because it was advertised as a "rare piece". Boy I bet 'ol Bubba in Houston would be lickin' his chops to get one of these! Now make sure you are sittin' down before viewing, I don't want to be responsible for any orthopedic problems. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ok then how about the O/P posting a legitimate F/S ad and not one that a true Texan with disposable cash may find offensive? Remember the old saying 'it is not what you say but how you say it'?
Settle down. Don IS a true Texan and has a couple of disposable cashs himself. Here's a good belt for it; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SEAT-BELT-ferrari-F355-BERLINETTA-94-96-95-1994-1996_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ50458QQihZ024QQitemZ370146143914QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
Sir, I am shocked-I tell you shocked that you think that I would make an attempt to scam any one person in this community. I suspect that the source of your consternation is that you did not locate this first and then it could be in your trophy cabinet and not mine. Well I tell you it is in my trophy cabinet and not on the front of Dr. John's truck. Not that it would not look good there it is just that he did not find it first either-just like you. However I know Dr. John and I would allow him to display this rare piece on his vehicle to grace it. I would probably rent it to you at a premium price--rarity does not come cheaply! I have no idea what an O/P posting is or a legitimate F/S ad is; because Bill Gates and his system does not interest me, concern me or have anything to do with my buckle up life style. However, if you still require some proof that this really exists then I will call you out; the Kitsch listing number is 110337901988. There now you can research it, find it and be chagrined that you did not find it before I. Bubba whadda think? Dr. John what do you think-potential hood ornament? Eurotrash will probably like the shop towel on the Ferrari Hood. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Don, just be sure to buy a belt that matches your boots! You wouldn't want people to think you weren't sophisticated!
It looks like the buckle may have begun it's life as a watch belt buckle, complete with a diver's bezel. Can the belt be installed in such a manner that the "watch band" protrusions are in line with the belt, instead of "Cross-Grain"? Mr. Cavallino would then be staring at the ground, but it might make the buckle fly, slightly, under the fashion police radar. Serious Business.
I actually do like it as a watch, looks better than the Ferrari Panerai version.I have a Breitling about that size.
This is the crux of the biscuit, right here...it appears as if it is built 90 degrees from true axis, maybe it fits a Flat 12, instead of the V8??? You guys know I am not really a Technician, I just "drive the Hell out of my cars" to quote a close friend's description of me, to new Nurse Sharon RN.....(sadly lost now the sands of time and last weeks's Dance Hall memories.....) Maybe this dictates a "belt AND suspenders" engineering approach, like we use out at NASA....
That pink shop towel should say "Dino" script on it, and I think the color is a little "off''' repro, IMO only...... Actually thanks, but I bought some AWESOME buckle sets at a recent Estate Sale, the guy was run over INSIDE his coffee shop by a car, he had nice taste in hats, too....
I never once mentioned you were trying to scam anyone nor did I ever think you were trying to I was just put off by another issue. Best of luck with the sale ok.
Dave, I am not sure what this thing started it's life as, I just know what it has morphed into. It is perhaps the cheeziest ferrari item I have seen on E-bay in three or four years. In order to wear it so that "Mr. Cavallino" is situated correctly it would almost be like a three point hitch-one around your crotch and two over your shoulder, like Bubba described.
I agree, WAY too vivid, since we have been shunned by all mankind, I hope this is not my last memory !
