Re: Question for Jimmy K. Chen Shiba
Kerry: You are 99.9% correct. This owner in this video is indeed Mr. Hideo Matsumoto. Your record is perfect. Saved me time looking around. w/ smiles Jimmy

Re: Question for Jimmy K. Chen Shiba
Art: Here's some more detailed translation. The gentleman happened to come across this car and he and his wife decided to take a look, upon which both of them liked it and decided to buy it. At first, since the condition wasn't good, it ran more like a V8. However, after tinkering, the V12 came back...

Re: Question for Jimmy K. Chen Shiba
Sorry, Kerry: I must have done something wrong in the previous post cause I screwed up. I wanted to say that no names or places were mentioned in the video. But if you're interested, I'll see what I can do to find out more. w/ smiles Jimmy

Re: Question for Jimmy K. Chen Shiba
Hi Jimmy, Thank you for taking the time! I your answer is sufficiently detailed for me. Sounds like the standard car guy - the same the world over! I'm glad to hear that another 330 is alive and well. Its too bad that we don't know the serial number (well...Kerry probably does...) Regards, Art S. A...

Re: Question for Jimmy K. Chen Shiba
Glad to be of some help, Art. Yes, there's enough car enthusiasts here too. Unfortunately, V12s are considered way too large and expensive to keep (in relation to the realities here in Japan). But as you can witness in the big smiling face of the owner, there's enough passionate owners here also. Al...

Re: Question for Jimmy K. Chen Shiba
Hello Art: Sorry for the belated reply. I didn't recognize this thread until now. To answer your inquiry,...no I do not know the gentleman in person. Apparently, this program is called "Bragging about your cars". In summary, the owner of the car (in glasses) stumbled across this 330 by luck and he i...

Mention of 275 in Restoration Diary
Tom: Thanx a bunch for mentioning my new 275 addition in the Restoration Diary section. That really was not necessary and I am a bit "embarassed". Thank you kindly. w/ smiles Jimmy

Re: Mod'd 365GTC/4 on eBay
Sorry about the link not working, Ian. I've seen a roadster conversion before which I thought was quite nice. As for this targa example, I must say it is not love at first sight, but then it may not be so bad afterall. Suppose body flexing may be a problem w/ such modifications. Interiors need bette...

Re: Selling
Hi Jimmy, You can always leave it at your friend Tom's place in upstate NY! :lol: Tom I never thought of that, Tom. If Michael offers me a "deal" that moves me, I may consider your offer w/ sincerity. Remember that I am "gullible" enough to purchase a Daytona from France without seeing the car in p...

Re: Selling
Michael: Sorry to hear this, whatever the reason may be. I might be interested in becoming the next caretaker of your Dino Spyder. Please furnish infos & asking $, if still available. If this materializes, mostly likely the car would be left w/ my friend's place in Long Beach, CA. Thanx in advance. ...
