Re: [VintageLambo] Re: Aaron's New Toy

An early Lambo race car? It should be left alone! Clean it up, get it running, if it isn"t already, continue to drive it and show it off!!! There may be a lot of race cars out there in museums around the world, but how many are Lambos? Not counting the SVRs and GTRs, maybe 6, including this one! Leave it alone! Sorry Aaron.

Another point, is, it has a well known history through out the Lamborghini world and I think I have seen it in books somewhere. Those facts add up to a collectors item, not just a run of the mill(is there such) Lamborghini. Just my opinion, which if I remember right, are like butt holes, everybody has one. Chad --- "lamboguy " wrote: 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 poi nt.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.)
