2016 Pebble Beach Concours Week


Wow! Thanks for posting the pictures! This was the year to go!
 
Leno was on BJ set for the 66 GT40 auction that sold at 4.4M which in his opinion was way undervalue.
 
Greg Miller bought Carroll Shelby's original Cobra, CSX2000, for 12.5M. It will be at the Shelby American Collection annual fundraiser in two weeks.

I'm glad that car is going to a good home.

Most of Miller's collection is now at the Shelby American Collection (in Boulder) so it is expected that CSX2000 will have a rather (semi-) permanent home there. They do rotate cars out for other events so it won't necessarily always be there.

My car seems very well sorted. The guy who restored it spent 3 years and 4000 hrs on it. He's a mechanical genius. Subsequent owners also cared well for it. Car is a P400 but has an SV build on the motor. It has S brakes. Ignition system upgrades. Stiffened chassis upgrades vs an original P400. For a 50 y/o machine it is a rocket!

That's terrific. Btw, when I showed my 10 y o son your photos, he said "Hey, Valentino Balboni!". Another proud papa moment. He's the kid with the green Miura model I posted a while back. Congrats on proper use of a super-sweet ride!

Thanks for those pictures. Finally some new shots.
 
big boot looks like a small backpack mite fit in there.
 
I think J's picked his combo for his collection? Can' t beat that personal attention either and we've all got that from Ford and Raj.
 
going to need a gloss clear carbon cover for that tank cover. let the mods begin :biggrin

Had I been picked I think this would have been my first choice. If that wasn't available when my turn came then I think liquid red with white stripes and silver wheels would be my second.

I wonder if I will have a new screen name by then?
