The plot thickens...

Thank You for redirecting some truth vs rumor mill stories.

I heard so many contradicting episodes I decided to call yesterday and was told it was sold.

My friend in Louisville shared the information - he owns some high end dealerships - no need to mention but gives some credibility that I have strong interest.

Thanks again for taking the time to set the record straight - it is very much appreciated.

I am going to give this a shot - if I end up with it ... your offer will be gladly accepted.

My call the other day relayed bad information - it happens.

Copart posted to clarify any misunderstandings.

Wanna go 50 / 50 ... you can have the right side

Years ago I was given details on a F50 that had been crashed heavily and repaired with a new tub (a total rebuild). Work was done in late 90s and the bill was Euro 200k+.

The auction is going to be a fun thread to follow as will the rebuild and end result.

In the event I am unsuccessful - in hopes the successor posts the next era of the cars life here.

After all this is Ferrari Life

Funny... I actually toyed with the idea of bidding a couple of days ago but decided I don't have the time for yet another project

If you want it - just say the word .... A(ssho)pple ...

In return I get a ride in the RV from Denver to the mountains for a all inclusive weekend of skiing

It appears that there is considerable interest. I hope to see a nice thread on this.
Wonder what it would cost to get it back in order?

It's all yours... my wife talked some sense into me when she pointed out how many other projects I currently have in the air.

You can always get a ride in the RV but I don't generally bring it skiing... it doesn't handle too well in the snow and you have to be careful in cold weather to prevent the plumbing from freezing! For skiing I prefer to take a ride in the Range Rover up to our place in Keystone

Funny I think my wife likes me being overwhelmed in projects to justify her horse world.

We gotta arrange a meet next time I am up - my daughter stole my RR sport so we can enjoy some spirited driving to the mountains of Keystone - actually have friends there right now celebrating their 50th.

That RV is the bomb!

I'm in Keystone right now too (and so is the RRS).

Are you bidding?

No idea and honestly don't wanna know

For me it's a hobby - for others who knows their motivation but if two guys want is with a signature capable of owning it - should be fun to watch.

It look like an appealing project. Gotta look into what it would take to get it back to running order. Just might throw in, but I think a whole lot of people will want it more than me.

Last I checked, bidding was only 65k!


Everything you have heard is true.
