  1. What Miura? I don't see one. All I see is part of a CT.
  2. They look too much like Jags....
  3. In case anyone missed this splendid example.... http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/carsfo...aco/412784.html It must have gone right into Hemmings.
  4. And, you'll get this all for free when you sell the 328 motor/transaxle.
  5. This car is perfect just the way it is! No paint - no paint - no paint.... And, you've had it a week and you already feel comfortable enough to take it out. Good times!
  6. Drew Alcazar of Russo & Steele restored this Anniversary...
  7. This car looks very familiar for some reason. Especially those bumpers..... hmmmmmm Did they use those in certain countries or ???
  8. Yeh, but that's like wandering around the backwoods of Kentucky....(do I hear banjos?) Could be hazardous to your health.
  9. Those damned telephone poles! They have no respect for cars or people. I wonder what was going throught the owners mind when he heard the jaws of life start ripping the roof off. Pain or no pain, in the back of your mind you still have have to be thinking "noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!" . I hope I never have to find out. I wish them a speedy recovery.
  10. Well, maybe if that one bolt head on the left was turned just a little bit more to the right.
  11. Maybe the word "original" should be used a bit more instead of "perfect". As in original oil stains, original cats, original hoses ect ect... BTW...nice panty filler!
  12. Yep, Porsche has saturated their own market with cars that all look the same. Let's see what the future holds for Porsche owners. It will be interesting. They are wasting their time. As it should be. Mr. Wallace of course! (Or or is it "Bobby"?) Well, the Lambo customer has never really been into that kind of thing, with his Lambo. Do you think this will change? Curious. I think it's very relevent to the prices. I know of people with the disposable income to buy CT's, BB's, Daytonas ect and have deferred buying them to buy new P-Cars, F-cars ect instead. The only time values rise is when the asking prices are paid for classics. If the $$ is spent elsewhere it does play into the values of classics. And these aren't just people looking for "image" cars. These are real "car" guys who know the difference between 308's and 512's, Boxters and GT2's, if you catch my meaning. Women are the Boxter target....so who really cares? Those are just the money makers. Not the image makers. And yet, Porsche just keeps rolling along.... Nothing could have helped the Urraco. The Silhouette/Jalpa had more potential in America. But, back to the CT... It's the KING! And it still just kills me to think any Dodge, Chevy or Ford is getting more money than a CT, Daytona or Miura. (hmmm civilized chat. What's the hell is going on here?)
  13. Agree.. Agree to a point. No factory builds cars on the assumption of future values. And what happened in the eighties is irrelevent to the now. There are less of each car available just because of natural attrition. Note: the Boxer was released in the Seventies just like the CT. And you'll never convince anyone that CT's were used more than Boxers. CT's and Boxers were/are unused low mileage cars. That's their nature. Agree somewhat. CT's are stuck in the middle as well. In the price range there are a lot of cars that you drive everyday if you want a "fast" car (and that is an influence on current values). Those two cars are past that stigma in the collector car market. Buyers are buying them because they always wanted one. Unfortunately for the current owners...more people want stupid Hemi's right now. And really, the CT and Boxer aren't known for reliabilty. Yes, Daytona's (and 246's) are a good indicator. But, so is the CT actually. Disagree. Back then Ferrari's flagship was the BB. It made sense that the 308 resembled the 365/512. It also tied into the 246. As far as being a sales success, the 308 destroyed the Uracco and Jalpa. I"M NOT SAYING IT WAS A BETTER CAR, it just sold more. The numbers don't lie. Manufacturers are in the business of selling cars. Not lining future collectors pocketbooks. So maybe it was a mistake for Lambo to not tie the smaller car together with the flagship. In fact, they learned their lesson thirty years later. Look at the Murci and Gallardo. Both are selling very well. And of course the CT is the poster king. It still is! Good times!
