Makes me want to start working on the '78 fiat spider again.

“Driven by the first Ferrari driver…”

Just for perspective…furthur down the page a Ferrari sold for 32 million. (32-2=30 million available to restore…add a decade to do it and it’ll be worth 64 million ..what am I missing?

Kinda like taken a guzzi off a fence post in the desert where it’s been rotting for decades and throwing everything you got at it….Oh wait!?!?! I see now..
