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  Grin

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"

My old boss sent me that link a few days ago, totally stunning! 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.

It was!!! 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... Shocked
