this car was built by at the complex where my shop is at. Great bunch of guys that get to work on some killer stuff.

My only frustration is trying to stay focused on work when one of these V12's is on the dyno!

Wow, that is a serious chunk of cash on a car. But, that is not just any old car either. I would love to drive one some day.

So let me get this straight. That car was restored in the same complex as your shop? Do you not have a camera? I for one would l have liked to see some pictures.

Yup. Chris is failing us...but all you have to do is do a search of "248 Bazillion Dollar Ferrari" and lots of pics will pop up. I acutally spoke to the guy who runs that shop about a week before the auction. Chris sent him to me to find some Mustang parts for a restoration he was doing. Very nice, humble guy, he says to me " I do old car restorations, not like the stuff Chris does, more like stock stuff, Pebble Beach stuff....old Ferrari's and whatnot"
A week later I see the results from the auction....and see that "whatnot" is apparently worth enough $$ to set someone up for life! I am definitely stopping by next time I am in the NW
