In August 2004 Hurricane Charley ripped through Florida and destroyed a warehouse that was storing a Ferrari collection worth about 15 million

Quote:

The Ferraris were assembled and owned by a Florida real-estate developer named Walter Medlin, who in the 1990s ran into some trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS seized three of the cars for non-payment: a relatively nondescript 1976 308 GTB, but also some very historic racers, a 1966 P3 and a 1967 P4.

The remaining 20 cars, still showing their hurricane damage, are to be auctioned separately, without reserve on Aug. 17 by RM Sotheby’s during Car Week in Monterey, California.

“The collection has been in Indiana for a decade, across the street from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” Keast said. “They’re still covered in dust, sitting on flat tires and not running, basically as they were when the barn collapsed on them.”

notable is a 1956 250 GT Coupe Special by Pinin Farina with Superamerica-style bodywork. The first owner was King Mohammed V of Morocco.

I would be worried about these liners fitting correctly as well!....Bill S

One day Albert Einstein wrote on the blackboard:

9 x 1 = 09

9 x 2 = 18

9 x 3 = 27

9 x 4 = 36

9 x 5 = 45

9 x 6 = 54

9 x 7 = 63

9 x 8 = 72

9 x 9 = 81

9 x 10 = 91

Suddenly there was chaos in the hall because Albert Einstein was wrong, the correct answer for 9 x 10 is 90 and all his students made fun of him.

So Albert Einstein waited for everyone to shut up and said:

“Even though I had correctly analyzed the nine questions, no one congratulated me but when I only missed one question, everyone started laughing; it means that even if a person is very successful, society will notice his smallest mistake and they will enjoy it.

So don't let criticism destroy your dreams, the only person who never makes a mistake is the one who doesn't do anything."

The prototype for the Paxton supercharger option which first became available on the 1966 GT350.

Production setup. 11 were sold in 1966. NOT a cheap option: $670. That would be $6,273.25 in today's money.
