A buddy of mine found a car in a barn on the banks of the Ohio river many years
ago. He tracked down the owner and ended up buying it. Actually, there were two
cars in the barn. One was an old race car and the other (the one he bought) was
a road car. He purchased a 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB four cam. (I could be a little
off on the year but it was a V-12 long nose model.)The reason he bought it over
the other one was that it had a full interior. The race car only had a burlap
driver's seat and nothing else! He shined it up and tuned it into a great car.
He kept it for a few years and then sold it at a handsome profit.
The OTHER car was a 250 GTO... It's history included being one of Phil Hill's
back-up cars!!! Hindsight is 20/20.
