Ferrari Mailing List: Ferraris at Barrett-Jackson

[Mike Collum (mike.collum]

As usual, I'm watching a lot of Speed TV's coverage of the auction at
Barrett - Jackson / Scottsdale.  So I Googled It (TM B.H.D., all
rights reserved) and there are only 3 Ferraris on offer (well, 2
Ferraris and a pasta machine):

- The Monster Garage "Pasta Ferrari" 308 GTSi pasta machine that sold
yesterday for $18,500;

- A sharp-looking red / tan 1988 328 GTS; and

- A nearly new-in-box 2003 456 GT, 6-speed (!), Grigio.

Even though the B-J is focused on American muscle now, I'd expect that
they'd want more Ferraris just to draw a more diverse crowd.  I swear,
on my HDTV, I can almost smell the cologne on some of those bidders at
B-J.

The unrelated but held at the same time RM Auction has a few more,
including (all red):

- A gorgeous 1966 275 GTB / 6C;

- A 1971 Daytona Spider conversion;

- A 1972 Daytona coupe, no reserve;

- A 1977 (steel) 308 GTB, 1 owner, 1900 (!) miles, no reserve.

Anybody on the list attending either of these auctions?  I've never
been, but I've thought about going just because it's a car guy kind of
thing to do.
