Anyone know how to say "Holy Toledo!" in French?

mon dieu, c'est fana

However, it's italian, do you think that it didn't run when parked so they simply stacked their magazines on them to hide their lunacy to buy them? :lol:
Of course, as Piniferina was the designer of both them and the Ferrari, do you really think it's a good idea to put more flammable stuff in the garage with them?

Just sayin'
 
Oh putain c'est tout rouillé!

Some seem well preserved, like the Ferrari and the Facel, but the others, man, I've been scrapyard taking better care of their junk.
 
Guessing the owner may have been told, he better pull the trigger before he has nothing left.

They did say that a significant percentage of the cars are being sold as parts vehicles. Depending on the rarity and value involved, that might just mean "bigger project."

Finding a lost Ferrari California Spyder is like something out of an insane movie plot. As fond as I am of vintage Ferraris (hell, my cat is named Ferrari), that Frua-designed Maserati might be even more drool-worthy.

The Facel was actually a link to a different story. That was a barn find out of the US. Brought big money for a car that needed a complete nut-and-bolt restoration, too.

I agree a vintage Ferrari is always an Unicorn.

They are worth lots of millions $$$

'53-57 vette looks similar and would be a better/more worthy car.....

at least the engines can be swapped without an act of CONNgress and will last over 10k miles.....WTF good is a garage queen???

I haven't watched all of the video, I'll check it out. Those Facels are cool.

55-57 Vette might be a better/more worthy car, but the reality is that a Ferrari 250 is still worth millions (lots of millions!!) on the market.

Anyway when you buy a Ferrari like the 250, your not the owner, you're a custodian of the car.
So yes it might be a trailer queen.
 
Artcurial thinks that only 60 of the cars are actually in salable condition, and they cross the block during the Retromobile Salon in February. The auctioneers believe the Ferrari could sell for as much as 12 million euros (14.74 million) and the Maserati for 1.2 million euros ($1.5 million).

The remaining ones go to Bobs77vet. :bonkers::rofl::smash:
 
I can understand someone like Jay Leno with a warehouse full of super desirable cars, all in pristine/operational condition, just for shits and giggles....what I don't understand is some clown leaving all that iron to rust away in some damn decrepit BARN for decades on end, just because he CAN....as in WTF???

I have sold many a desirable car over the years, because my needs and storage facilities changed....so why let the cars suffer outside or in a stupid barn full of rats???

:bonkers::bomb:
