275GTS barn find

Great story Tom. Been said plenty of times before but this is why so many of us enjoy these old cars. The cars are great but the people behind them are even better. So much history and passion. I look forward to following the resurrection story and seeing the tyres hit the tarmac again in anger.

And I spread the gospel today. Went out with the local Ferrari club. I had the only old banger and non red car !!!! Most had never seen a carby car. They were amazed at how fantastic it sounded and how fast it was especially on the bumpy uneven country roads where their ground effects are pretty useless. The C4s old supple suspension and high profile tyres just ate up the bumps. I passed a few of them at speed with the engine near red line to let them hear what a real engine sounds like. They had never heard anything like that before. So a few more modern car owners got to appreciate the work of Mr Colombo.

Thanks John,

As stressful as this deal was, everyone was very happy with its outcome. I know it was very hard for Lee to see the car go away on a flatbed, but I think there was some solace to know we were going to take good care of his baby.

This one will be a lot of fun to follow. Not only is it a great car, but there will be plenty of work for us to vicariously join in on. I am glad your patience paid off!

Well, you have to let me know in advance that you're interested in something like this Jimmy!

Thanks everyone for your support. I can't wait to start tearing into this car, but first we have to clear out some of the work in front of us!
