Nice little find! Title: Re: Barn-find of the century? Post by: Dave Rosique on December 09, 2014, 19:25:29 pm Unbelieveable!! Thanks for posting Jick!
I often wonder what else is out there yet to be discovered... A friend of mine had a '64 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider like the black one. I was fortunate to have had a few rides in it, even some "safe speed" laps at the old Riverside Raceway. I remember the exhaust note alone was like a symphony ;D Title: Re: Barn-find of the century? Post by: jick on December 09, 2014, 20:32:17 pm There's a very cool 5 minute piece of film.... I've tried putting it up but I'm doing something dumb I expect & it won't work...
Look on YouTube... "60 automobiles de la collection Baillon" Title: Re: Barn-find of the century? Post by: jick on December 09, 2014, 20:37:46 pm Unbelieveable!! Thanks for posting Jick!

We may have more quantity of old cars in the states, but it seems like when you find something in Europe, it's on a whole different level.

He sold the car a few years ago, you can see it here: http://www.pirro.com/english/all.Ferraris/Detail/4121GT.250GT.SWB.California.Spyder.htm Zach, I think you're right! I'm still blown away by the sheer quantity of rare & valuable cars found there!! I had another friend who fancied Talbot-Lago. He had several stashed away when he passed... :o |
