Hi Mark, You want to know why these cars are rising price? IMO they're great cars! I managed to find some time to drive my 330 America yesterday, and simply had a ball! She pulls like a freight train, makes a hair raising howl at 6000 rpm, and has room to boot! (All that sitting in a sagging old sea...

The Barracuda story: A buddy of mine lived in Jersey City, and used a parking garage near the train station. One day while visiting him, he showed me this white '65 Plymouth Barracuda covered in dust in the garage. It had an inspection sticker from three years ago, and New Jersey plates. We guessed ...

Hi David, I studied photography at Pratt in Brooklyn, and in the parking lot was a Chrysler New Yorker with a Hemi in it. I'm not sure what year it was, but it was a fifties vintage model with a big rounded body. It looked like it had been abandoned in the parking lot, but a faded "for sale" sign sa...

Thanks Wax! I'm glad I have this journal to remind me where I started with this project and to see how much I've learned!

Hi Tim,

I think I saw the yellow taxi at Laguna Seca a couple of years ago, but will look for you at Concorso parked near the Morgans!

I'm going to "stick" this message to the top for a little while to help Tom sell some of these Jack plugs. Last I heard, he has 10 sets left!

Here's question I haven't had to help answer: > Any chance a 6'6" person could fit in a 330? Ive heard the older 12 cylinder > models had lots of hearoom. Opinion?? thanks..Bill in San Diego How tall are you 330 owners out there, and how well do you fit in your Ferrari? I know that the seat rails ha...

Hi Kris,

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I can't wait to see how the back seats turn out either!!!

Tom

Hi Deb,

You're welcome. I hope we can find a good home for that car!

These posts are probably from dealers trying to see if there is any interest in your car. If they can get a buyer on the line, they'll offer you a wholesale amount and make a little monry brokering the deal.

Tom

Good luck Erik, and we'd love a report!

Tom

Hi Ruedi, Thanks. I still say that there are a bunch of costs involved that drive these cars higher after you buy them. Show me one Ferrari for sale that needs nothing, and I'll stop believing that all you need to spend is $40K-50K for an old Ferrari. I am in touch with dozens of Ferrari owners that...

Yale and I were talking last night, and searched for available 250GTEs, and found hardly any. I don't think it is as easy as you may think to find a perfect GTE for any kind of money. The prospect of 330 Americas needing no work is even slimmer.

Tom

There will be a day when $30-35K will seem cheap for a 330 America needing a full restoration.

Tom

I'm going to speak for myself and others who have e-mailed privately and say to the people out there concerned about this car being a viable investment: You're missing the point! My moto is, "you can't drive a mutual fund!" People spend thousands on vacations, and yet they never ask for a return on ...
