Ferrari Mailing List: Re: New Ferrari Classic Car Division

[Dave Quick (dave]

My spin on it....

WASTE OF MONEY.

Spend the money on gas and major services.

But everyone has different opinions.  ;-)

I guess I'd do it for a 98 point+ 1960s GTO or an old school Modial 4
cylinder racer or something but for any of the 1970+ cars I don't personally
think it would make a difference in selling/buying price and the guys with
the pre 1960s racers can go ahead and run their cars through this inspection
for grins and the cost of it is a rounding error on their dinner tab when
they take a group of folks out at the 21 Club in NY or Arpège in Paris or
wherever folks think is trendy and expensive today.
