Larry:
 
I hope that the fact that you are "shopping" Ferraris means that the  
recovery is going well. Stay with the physical therapy if necessary, I fell off 
 
the wagon and am paying for it now.
 
Just a short note about Gullwing Motors. They buy (and openly state that on 
 their web site) and sell basket case cars. I can't speak to their Ferrari  
inventory but in their marketing of other quasi-famous nameplate  they  
really do have cars at the low end as well as some that they describe as being  
from the top end. One thing that seems to be a thread throughout their auto 
 sales is rust. Several folks I know looked at cars their and latent rust 
was a  deal killer in each case. If you think about buying it, either go, by 
yourself  and if you are not an expert on these cars maybe you can pull 
Captain Clyde out  of the cockpit if he stops at Kennedy or LaGuardia along 
with 
you or find  another list member who resides near there to give it the 
first inspection and  then get a complete body, chassis and engine PPI before 
putting any money up on  the car, except perhaps for a refundable good faith 
deposit.
 
Also remember that many of their cars end up in containers for export. Most 
 of the time the overseas buyer doesn't fly in to NYC to look at the car 
and the  first time they see it is when it is unloaded from the container.
 
Caveat emptor, but that goes for any transaction, cars, land, etc.

I came  across this '88 TestaRossa in a "Classic Cars" Autotrader paper 
showing a nice  '88 TestaRossa with 24k miles  with a price of $49K.
That's seems to  be a low price for such a supercar.  For the cost of a 
tricked out SUV  people could have a true Supercar.  I know those are different 
markets  but still, what a deal!

Or maybe my understanding of the market prices of these classic  Ferrari's 
is overstated?

Later ya'll -
