Hi Chris, Thanks for the post and congratulations on the cars. I can"t help but wonder if you not own Bob Estes" personal 350. He owned one for many years. Last time I talked to Dale (Bob"s son), he was thinking about selling the car, so this could be the one. If so, it is a historically significant car. Bob Estes was responsible for introducing Lamborghinis to the western United States back in the earlydays and fought some mighty battles with the government of California in the process. Fred now is going through several boxes of paperwork from the Estes dealership that were turned over to Jim Fox (another list member) when Bob passed away.. Perhaps there is something in there about your new 350. Whatever the case, you will have fun sorting out the cars and you are on the right list for help. Best Regards, Jack Chris Sciclo wrote: GREETINGS, BEEN HANGING AROUND FOR A MONTH AND A HALF NOW AND JUST GOT BACK FROM BUYING MY FIRST TWO LAMBO"S...WENT TO GET ISLERO #6021 AND ALSO WOUND UP WITH A 350GT #0178 THAT HAD A CA.
