[VintageLambo] Re: Aaron's New Toy

Chad, I actually agree with you, to some extent.While not a winner of LeMans (by any stretch of the imagination), a vintage Lambo that raced at all is certainly rare.And Jerry"s exploits in this area are fairly well known. On the other hand, the car is close to stock, except for the paint job, and there was no factory involvement (that I know of).I could easily understand going either way with this car.Aaron was looking for a good 400gt to restore, and this fits that category too. There are so many "race cars" sitting around, unused, gathering dust, in some museum or other throughout the world.My take is that the world won"t miss another one.I know Aaron and I"m sure his plan is to actually drive this car a lot.Frankly, if it was mine, I"d want to return the paint to stock and not scare the neighbors too much. So I completely support Aaron on this point.And I know he will document the whole car before doing that.That pretty much works for me. But then, I"m far from any expert on the value of "raced" and "racing" cars.That"s more your department Chad.What sort of value do you think retaining the paint job would add?(The only other modification I know of for sure are the holes drilled in the air cleaners.) Best, Fred
