Wish I was born in the same era you dudes were!
 
I'm just an old fart and have no idea of what you're talking about. Hell, I can't even figure out how to set the digital clocks in my cars.

> ok guys, i always lurk, but rarely ever post at least for the past several years.  so is this the 512TR market now?  Clyde?  this is a Sheehan car and he's never bashful about his pricing.  Ferrari 512 TR s/n 90817 is priced very right in today's fast-moving market at $295,500 or best offer.  2 owners.  same owner for past 23 years.  23k miles.  BTW, I have no interest in this car and am very happy still driving my Fiat Dino Spider 2400.  Just curious.  I guess i better go check the AZ auction results.
