I'm out but I'd love a 356 SC or a URQ Audi. A ton of work though.

3 Murias too, wow.

I have spent the last two days sitting 50 yards from the star attraction of that auction. It is causing a lot of buzz. No less than 40 people brought up the junkyard to me here at the Velocity invitational.

There's a couple Miuras in that list.

Besides the eye popping inventory, I think it's the most well organized junk yard I've ever seen.

In reply to stuart in mn :

The seller and buyer are both paying the auction house to make it look like that.

If I had a spare $5k hanging around, I'd try for a busted Ferrari engine.

I watched the long Magnus video about it and came away feeling pretty uneasy.

I predict a lot of buyers paying too much for these Porsche projects and then learning that the rebuild costs are quadruple of the value of the complete cars. 

I hope the feeding frenzy i see coming up at the auction doesn't happen but RM is chumming the waters pretty hard-core to ensure it does.

 I respect a person being themselves but I couldn't watch 3 seconds of that guy.

I wonder if that'll make the market worse or better.

Things I wonder about: If I got this Gullwing and placed it in my front yard, would my neighbors complain I had junk out front? If so, I'd go to court over that just to see the judge's reaction to its value. laugh
