Latest barn find from Tom S. at C&C today

still an alloy comp SWB out there in South America.

 

Napolis I agree - everything is for sale by only those that have nothing M

 

One could argue that that the wealthy have a desire for money, and many have a price. In most cases it just hasn't been tested.

 

"Many" rather than "all" proves your statement that "everything" is for sale isn't true.

As much as I'd like to own "The Garden of Earthly Delights" the odds of the Prado offering it for sale are zero.

Many works of Art aren't for sale nor will ever be. There are many cars that aren't for sale either. Jim Hall's are examples.

 

Amazing find gentlemen...congrats!

 

All paintings in the Prado belongs to the Spanish state and so not a private person.

Anything is for sale - but it depends how wealthy the owner/seller is.......................(for some people $500k are Bingo-Bongo-cash - for others this is only pocket money!).

Ciao!
Walter

 

Time or timing has a lot to do with it too. People get old and don't mind sharing in their later years.

As for the art never being sold, well I'm sure many people said that before WWll too, but you just never know what the future will bring.

 

I will let Jim answer that but I will wager the answer is still no M

 

Correct. A Member of The Saudi Royal family already tried to buy Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina and offered more than has been ever paid for any car and I said no.

Frankly there is no amount of money that will change the way I live and there is only one Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina.

 

Wow.. Seriously... Wow:

There are two of those.

 

<Tennessee Williams voice> How common </voice>

 

OK maybe the way you live, but what you had a magnum offer that allowed you to change the lives of many people through charity as a result?

 

I already have a Foundation that supports over 1000 groups throught the World.

I've given away a lot more than I've spent on cars.

 

Front row seats to a led Zeppelin concert?

 

Not even if John Bonham shows up to play....(I would imagine)

 

A man walks up to a beautiful woman in a five star hotel's bar and says, "how about you come up to my room and we have some incredible, mind blowing sex."

She looks him up and down and quickly responds, "no thank you."

"Okay, then, how about you come up to my room have incredible, mind blowing sex with me for ten million dollars."

She looks at him and says, "Okay, let's go."

Quickly, he says, "Okay, how about for $20?"

She stops, glowers at him and says, "Absolutely not, what do you think I am? Some sort of prostitute?"

He calmly responds, "I think that we've already established that. Now we're simply negotiating the price."



Way to go Jim. Best....R

 

Tom,
we need a picture of the car in motion !
(not in n-going downhill)

 

Brakes bled, clean fuel, fuel pump leaks, engine running. clutch works

Getting there.....

Patience grasshopper!

 

Some time in the 70's I was at a little house party in Butte Montana talking in slurred speach with one Evil Kneivle. There was an I believe yellow 275GTB present and the Evil one claimed it was his. Any idea where that car is today?

 

snatch the pebble from my hand...

 

Replace ALL fuel (, oil) and brake hoses ... otherwise soon it will be a Latest 275GTB lost thread.
Pete

 

He has talked about it in interviews. Can you imagine how much skank has been in that car?

 

I think Tom has a little bit of experience in this sort of thing... I'd trust his judgement.
