Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Add End: 250 TR Draws Record Bid

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Hey Doug: Remember the? $7,000 904 Porsche that everybody passed on? LMFAO!

Oh yeah - even modified for the street and came with two rear tail sections. 
Yellow and black.  Wasn't it Pat who was looking at it?  Man, in those days 
I was so broke I couldn't afford to pay attention.

I forget who the racer was that had campaigned it before it was sold to the 
seller we met with but I still remember him in the Firestone garage crapping 
his ass off after enjoying himself whayyyy too much the night before at the 
press conference at the Mission Inn.  I think he wore glasses.  What a way 
to be remembered, eh?
DOUG
