Default '61 Ferrari 250GTE Garage Find

Sorry for the non-muscle content, but these are fascinating to me. I wonder how many of these we'll see over the next 5-10 years as the long-term owners are coerced or forced into getting rid of them.

I'd freshen it mechanically and drive the crap out of it. Great ride to pile in case's of beer! That would generate a conversation or two!

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Imagine if that's real paint, shocks, exhaust... wow

Is the exotic car world as fascinated with survivors as we are?

That isn't a bad price for that car.

Even at just 3 liters (183 cubic inches), they perform pretty darn well.

Very neat unmolested 61 -, great drive it like stole it car.....and a great car for restoration some day - that is all the money in todays market unfortunately and alot of car for the money - classic v12 - has the sound of any Z/28 all day long.

Ferrari market in the last 2 yrs is down 25% - 1-2 yrs ago this should be a solid 325 car. may have missed it, but i dont think the car is a running car???

It seems that we see these finds more and more these days, vs the yenko market. Very few yenko's, copo's are getting discovered anymore (unless you are "superman") :-)

different color as well - baby blue, very unusual for F car.

PS - Hey Scuncio - this is muscle!!! your forgiven!

As complete as this car is - it is missing the tool kit and jack.....not unusual for the finders to sell this off separately, if this is what happened.

These kit for the early v12's go from GTE kit of 12K to the early 250 cars, like the Ellena - for 25K - assuming all original.

Crazy money for crappy tools, but it is what it is!

I’m looking at 328s now, Eddie. Seems the prices have dropped but they’re still holding. BHCC seems to always have a couple affordable examples on hand. My apprehension on these are the parts, not the maintenance. Thoughts?

Cheers
Dave

Yes - my buddy at work who is into these (Bob Boniface - think you may know him) mentioned the value of those tool kits. Makes 814 alternators seem affordable
