It was great finally meeting in person at Quail this year! I really enjoyed checking out the Lost and Found Collection. RM did a great job at putting them on display. I can't wait to see the completed restoration on the Mondial. The 275 GTB is one of my favorite Ferraris from the time as well. Such a classy car, a true gentleman's Ferrari.

I live in central Florida and experienced Hurricane Charlie in August 2004. Seven days with no power and air conditioning was no fun at all. This paragraph from Google, "Had the world forgotten about this incredible Ferrari stash? In August 2004 Hurricane Charley ripped through Florida and among its casualties was a barn near Kissimmee. A cascade of beams and debris rained down on the sleeping collection, which was badly damaged with some caved-in roofs and shattered windshields. These Ferraris were, literally, exposed to the world, and briefly made headlines amid the hurricane coverage, but soon they disappeared again."

According to Ferraris Online in Costa Mesa, the cars were a mess long before 2004. He saw the collection in the late 80s or early 90s and helped the owner sell some of the cars.

Wow, that's the word of the day, I could maybe afford some of the timbers if they're being auctioned off as genuine ferrari destroying barn finds. I agree and love the 410 superamerica, if the new owner does a full restoration and makes it all shiny and new then they are mental 😮, the patina of it's originality is special and should be kept. I hope to see a video of how much these cars actually go for, I suspect some will fetch alot more than the sticker estimates.

That Mondial is a "jack up the chassis number and replace the whole car" type restoration. I wonder who steals all of the gearshift knobs? Thanks for taking us along Richard.😊

@who_stole_my_username 11 ай бұрын

I wondered about the shift knobs too, as they're all present in the catalogue photos. Maybe they were worried about trophy hunters taking parts if they're easy to remove.

@stephenscholes4758 Absolutely no! They are worth a lot, but absolutely not what they are likely to bring! Anything is worth what a person is willing to pay! I do not understand WHY a person is willing to pay exhorbant money for those, especially the 1st car which was just rusted metal in pieces! Why do they command that much money? Is it just because they are Ferrari? Is it because not many made?

@stephenscholes4758 11 ай бұрын

@@richardgreene3460 The rusted wreck (Mondial) would be one of very few made for racing in that particular year...exceedingly historical therefore as it's racing history will be high profile and easy to detail. If one of the road cars Richard shows near the end was in that state, it would not be worth saving...context is everything. As Richard points out, the Mondial's chassis is good, the engine is there; a replacement body will be made, no issue there - an easy though expensive process - bingo , there is your multi-million dollar 1950's Ferrari.

@petergregory7199 10 ай бұрын

Full Restoration would spoil them! They are so much rarer as they are. Better to get them solid underneath, fix up the drive trains and engines so they run perfectly and leave the rest alone ( some glass needs to be looked at!). Oh and maybe change the tires. That way they keep the original barn find look. The dents add charm.

@evanschwartz3030 11 ай бұрын

Certainly worth a further comment! Yes, it does seem somewhat unusual these cars are in such poor overall condition given the low reading on their odometers. Obviously whoever owned them wasn't especially interested in maintaining or taking care of them which is unfortunate given their market value today. The real restoration expense is in the engine overhalls and various mechanical components!
