[VintageLambo] Re: I want to buy a 350 GT or 400 Gt 2+2

Roy, My collection is odd and generally without rhyme or reason.I have owned my Fiat for 24 years.It is in 1- Condition.It"s not worth much ($5,000 on a good day).I keep it because it"s the car I"ve had since I was in university.I love driving it and it"s been very good to me (last year I finally wnet over $4,000 in service invoices). The gullwing fell into my lap.I was visiting with a friend one day and he asked me if I wanted to buy one.Another friend of his was dying of cancer and liquidating - so I bought it. I took my gullwing for service to one of two world experts on the car in Victoria.When there, he showed me a Dino he was selling so I bought it. I was flipping through a book my wife bought as Costco for $20.I saw a DB6 and said, "What a cool car."Now I want one.I don"t want a DB5 as they are overpriced right now due to the newest Bond movie and I like the extra 4" so it"s a true 4-seater. I think you get the idea that I just like what I like.I am, however, leaning to more of the blue-chip, conservative type...no Diablo or F40 for me. So, please, please help me find a 350 or 400.... why you ask?Cause I like the styling and I don"t have a V-12 yet.
