Default Vintage Ferraris and more (56K maybe not, i dont know)

I havent been on JW a lot recently due to moving + work + school, but I thought I would share some of the sights ive seen over the past week or so.

340 Mexico



342 America


456


500 MDTR. I apologize for the "push," "dont push" signs on the car but it is being shipped to France for the vintage Le Mans race. It was recently tuned on a dyno at the shop and produced about 180 whp. Not bad for a 2 liter, twin cam, dual carbed 4 cylinder made in the '50s.












1950s Allard. This one has a Chrysler Hemi in it! :shock: Most of the Allards used Caddilac V8s. This is a bad ass little car.














Bentley Continental GT











This is one of the only 2 Ferraris to be styled by Bertone (both of which are at my work). This particular one is 3269GT, was Bertone's personal car way back when. I love the nose and the interior of this car.











246 Dino GT


Very well cared for Jaguar Series 1 E-Type.




Some random photos of the shop.



My friend came to visit me at work in his Evo 8. He recently had it dyno'd at just under 400hp at the wheels. This thing is insanely fast!!




Nice little Benz with some nice wheels

Ugly Benz with ugly wheels

Ugly POS

there's some nice shit there but why doesn't the 500 have the plate mounted inside the cutout? instead it's directly below it...

That is one stylin' Black Widow Mustang V6 convertible. :roll:

Even if I'm not into Vitage cars, some great pics dude!

As if you will have some more spare time and of course if you kept them, could I have the following Conti GT pics in high-res?

Very nice shop, probably one of the best I have ever seen and I have been to alot of shops. You work there, pay attention, do well, then you can take it over in about 15years.

:shock: Oooooooooo, it's drooling time again!!

As always, marvellous pictures... I would love to work there. So the Bertones are still there. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw you post pictures of them a while ago. You're lucky to be around such unique cars. Thanks for more pictures of 3269GT.

The 500 MDTR looks stunning BTW!
