Yep; that's the one Angela mentioned in another post. It's just awesome and the best thing is that it's got the same color combo as Vince's car as well as mine's. That car is probably worth close to $250,000.00.
For that price I would think they could afford to list the max pictures!!
currently over 275K with 6 days to go.....
I just went out and kissed mine....

$331.000.oo PLUS
I'm probably an ignorant or I'm missing something, but what make this car go for this kind of money?
Don't give me wrong, I know those GS/GT speedsters are VERY collectible, but for that much money,I would rather get the new Carrera GT with a V10. That's just me.
Lambros:
I am with you on that. I taped the B&J auctions and watching it a second time makes me wonder what people are doing with that much money if they can be that dumb. People buying cars for $600K just because it was the last Stingray built is absurd. What shocks me more is people that buy Boyd Coddington cars after watching his show and seeing how he rushes everyone on the builds I would be scared to drive one. Foose is outrages in his designs and is one of my favorites. Buying this car for $300k when there are replicas out there that are more fun to drive for 1/10 the price is crazy.
Just my two cents !

Kinda like purchasing Designer brand shoes when you can hit Wal-Mart for $26 bucks and put the cash surplus towards a Nardi horn button, cocoa mas and a luggage rack :)
Alan...but Wal-Mart shoes give me blisters, and there is no other greater satisfaction than sporting a pair of designer shoes..~Esther
345K with a day and a half left.....
If any of had that kind of diposablr income....we'd probably all dispose of it on something that someone saw as frivolous. Jealousy is ugly in any incarnation.

$351,000 with ten hours to go. For those whom money is not an object, this is the object for the money... Nutz, I was in Portland a couple of weeks ago. Would have been kind of cool to see it in person.
Many years ago, I read an article about an old 12 cylinder Ferrari. Don't remember the model. Everyone was horrified that the owner drove the car on the public highway. Weather providing and in quiet traffic. The fellow explained himself: Its just a car. The engine is basically the same as any other 12 cylinder ferrari (hmmm), the camshafts are unique but I can have those made. The bodywork can be repaired/replaced by craftsman. It is just metal. Everything on this car can be remade. He ended the comments with something to the effect of "these were meant to drive (not be in a museum)."
Hope the buyer of this exquisite 356 is the kind who truly loves this car, treats it like gold, but sneaks it out for a good hard run now and then. Let that little 4-cam sing! Cars are for driving. Especially Porsches.

Say that again, Angela!
A couple of years ago, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts held an "Art" exhibition of a small portion (fourteen) of Ralph Lauren's classic car collection.
The interesting thing about his cars is that he does actually drive them on the street, and often, but, given that he has over 70 cars in the full collection, I guess that might not be each car weekly.
His cars are not, technically, "restored", since many of them (but not all) are painted colors of his preference, or perhaps they have been made better than new in some way, but they are all gorgeous works of art.
ALL of Ralph's cars are restored/rebuilt by a small restoration shop in Marblehead, Massachusetts called Paul Russell's Gullwing Restorations (www.paulrussell.com I think)
Check out our pictures (and You can drool a little, too!) here: http://www.theta.net/~nichols/ralph_lauren_collection/
Just as points of interest;
The Ferarri 250 Testarossa was highlighted in the Museum lobby (!!)
The Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing has an interior of Baseball glove Leather
The Bugatti Atlantic is one of only two in existance, has a body made of Magnesium, with rivited outside seams and was last valued at well over $10 Million USD
My personal favorite was the 1938_Alfa_Romeo_8C2900_Mille_Miglia, a car to drool over. It won that race more than once.
The 1929 Bentley Blower is the same model as the car driven by John Steed in the BBC TV show "The Avengers" (Emma Poole drove a Lotus Elan, but there wasn't one in this show).
It was originally built by a couple of Doctors from London as a racing machine and was untouchable in its' day (imagine doing over 100 mph that high off the ground!!)
ANY of these cars looked like they had just left the showroom.
The Jaguar XK 120 left the show, was completely torn down, detailed and rebuilt in about three weeks at Paul Russell's and was class winner at the Pebble Beach Concours the Summer before last.

quick question... that spyder has two coils. Why?
Dual Ignition I guess, like the Carreras???
You're right! That's definitely a sweet 4-cammer in the photos; just like Jimmy Dean's car.
