Hide it from Ferris

They look good in old movies, less so now compared to modern cars. IMHO.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

Man, I just love the combination of angles, curves, and LOTS OF GLASS. Modern cars feel like peering through a periscope.

Never seen an auction that lasts two weeks. I expect it will end close to $700k. 1968 GTC didn't top the reserve with a bid at $651k.

I wonder how much J.G.Wentworth would give me for my lifetime SSA benefits...

Ehhh... there is a similar Ferrari model from roughly the same time period (perhaps 275 GTB?) that has an almost identical front end mated to a much more curvaceous rear end than that one that looks much better to my eyes. That one, while styled by Pininfarina, has a much more semi-squared-off, Bertone-ish look to it. There's more than a whiff of BMW 3.0CS to the roof and tail.



Stylistic nit-picking aside, it is a beautiful car nonetheless and more than anything else I applaud a Ferrari being painted any color aside from red.

It is a factory original color for that car, called "bleu", apparently a reference to the blue color used on French racing cars at one point.

I do appreciate the offer to buy in but while I have a more-than-passing appreciation for it, it just isn't my type of car to own.
