My guess, $11,000,000. I figure if 56 cars were ruined, and basically all of them cost over $100,000, but less than $400,000, it has to be somewhere around this number. Quite ridiculous! I just hate to think that some of the older models, which are getting rare anyway, are going to be that much more scarse.

Ahhhhhh, there are plenty left for everyone.
Heck, this was the turnout for a Germany based ferrari GTG just in Sept.
And remember, this was just Germany and only the red cars ar shown.
I'm hoping for a similar amount of guard's red 944's at The Fest this year...

To lose the old "F Cars" is quite a pity. Likely handmade and irreplaceable.
Local guy and client here in Cincy owns THE Ferrari P330 showcar from the Paris Auto show in the 60's. Light mettalic blue. Trying to get the SOW rennlist group over to see his collection of about 15 old Italian sports and racing cars.
Sorry to hijack the thread. i'll add a couple more pics and try and find the link to the dadgone things (there are about 50) after a "cup-o-joe"
Enjoy

Could I get a pricecheck in aisle 2 please...



Hey! they make colors other than red...
