Was that a 912? I remember when used Gullwings were about $8000. *NM*

The weather was beautiful this morning for the weekly Las Vegas Cars & Coffee turnout. Mid-seventies and sunny. There was (as always) something for nearly everyone's taste. Here is a sampling:

Hope you enjoy!

Hard to believe but we had LV weather here today. We hit 73 F and sunshine!!!

The Lexus has nice lines from the side. Not crazy about the back. Looks kind of kitcarish.

Love the MB Gullwing. It's a classic beauty.

That 68/69 Corvette looks great. To me that's the best looking model they ever made. After that they just seemed to get bigger and bigger.

Thanks for posting.

My pleasure Glad you had nice weather to enjoy CURVEN8R

Yes. I passed on a Gullwing for $8500 once and purchased a 220S instead as my next rebuilt project. Oh well, at the time it seemed to make sense

He questioned my sanity and said no.

I remember seeing a Ferrari 250 GTO for sale in the back of a Road and Track magazine (late 60's-early 70's). The seller was asking $10,000! In 1968, I paid $4,500 for a 1967 Jaguar XK-E.

Likewise, I remember seeing stock P-51 Mustangs for sale in Trade-Plane (again late 60's-early 70's) where the asking prices were (again) $10,000. In 1972, I paid $5500 for a 1948 Temco-built Globe Swift.

Now, I wish I hadn't sold either the "E" or the Swift. I wonder how the GTO would have been as my daily driver.....as the XK-E was.

I also wonder what neat things, of today, our kids will look back on tomorrow ruing the fact they didn't have the foresight and/or money to buy now....or regret having sold too soon.

That turned out to be a good decision. Lamborghini does not support these classic cars and parts are impossible to find. I saw a beautiful red one in my friend's shop. It had been sitting there for months as my friend scoured the world for clutch parts. After about 50 hours of research he found some partial parts in Portugal. He gave up and finally told the owner to come pick it up. You almost need to make your own parts for these cars. World's first true super car. Mid engine design with a V-12 transversely mounted motor arrangement. Also had some cool cross bracing in the motor compartment.
