Urraco thread

Gary it's amazing what some people will do to these cars.
That Espada now down at Bobileff's has a somewhat similar story. Badly neglected. So now it will cost a hell of a lot to bring back.

 

If you have a good Urraco already, this will be a good one for parts. 2-3K will be a great deal.

 

As I have posted before, I like the idea of what Mario has done......Just strip it and show it.
I would do that with this Uracco BUT I would remove the motor for a clean up and show and then a rebuild down the road.

BTW, which is at Bobileff? Pictures/link?

 

Oh, heck yes, me probably 2k....because of course there is transport, etc.

 

Go over to the VLG we talked about it there. It's one of the cars that started that whole what are they worth thread.

 

I was looking through some old photos and came across a few Urraco photos I took at the Monterey Historic's club corrals. The green car photo was taken in 1986. The yellow and red cars were from 1988. Let's just say that at 15-17 years old I was not too good at framing the shot!

Since we normally have a booth at Concorso, and are too beat to then go to the Historics the next day, I have not been for a few years. But I almost always enjoyed the corrals more than the races themselves....

I've had a sweet spot for the Urraco (especially with those chrome euro bumpers) but have only driven one once. That was a family friend's car and that was about a mile! Even when I had a 308QV, I really wanted a Urraco! Although it needs to have those chrome bumpers! When cruising through the Lambo forum, I always check this thread.

Love the lines with the chrome bumpers!

 

I was just curious where those were now... It would be cool to see what has happened to them after 20 something years... I bet they are in better shape than me!

 

Al still has his...

 

Urraco on ebay, not perfect but.....

Is this the auction car??? That sold for around 6500.

Peter,

It looks like the auction car and is much cleaner now.

Yes, it is the car. The eBay seller confirmed it.

 

I do not believe he has done anything since getting the car. He is giving the impression he has, to justify the big flip numbers on a car with heavy needs.

 

I fully agree with your assessment. He does not know much about the car, just a flipper.

 

Sold for $24,900. Seems low for such a rare car.

I think it is a reasonable price for an Urraco that needs work, perhaps rust repair as well.

 

I think it's low. Condition not as bad as some others.

 

The Maserati Mistral that was was sold at that same auction is now on Ebay too. Looks like not much done to it either except cleaning it up as well.

Yeah, that's Peter at Forza Motorsport in Gaylordsville CT,

 

The winning bid for the 1974 yellow Urraco on eBay was $13,200. Buy low ($6,500) and sell high ($13,200). 103% profit, a good business model.
