    The rear portion is just awful. Reminds me of a Renault Megane CC.

    Maybe next time. Here is another photo from last Saturday during the Ferrari Club visit to one of the finest restoration facilities in the Great Lakes region...

    By the way, how long does Ferrari Classiche certification normally take???

    Not sure, maybe Motion Productions in Wisconsin but that depends on what kind of car. I think in the Chicago area maybe Cooper Technica and McCabe?

    I want to say there were six GTOs at the 1979 FCA meet at Blackhawk Farms. Joe also had the Breadvan in 1985 or 1986. IIRC, he wanted the unheard of sum of 150k for it. He was a true car person and a genuinely all around good guy.

    1979 FCA poster. Not the best picture, because it is hanging up close to the rafters.

    Looks great. Did you talk to any of his family members?? I wonder if they kept most of his cars.
