Thanks for sharing, yet rather painful. This is my story of the big one that got away. I want to think that I would still own it. If only I had gone forward with the 250 Cabriolet that I considered purchasing in 1975.
Yet another awesome car, it looks great even without paint :-) Hope to see some nice Ferrari classics at Concorso at lake Como near the end of this month.
Not sure how ripped jeans came back into fashion, but the star here should be Coleen's knowledge of Ferraris, not questionable wardrobe choices. In any case, those mid-60's Ferraris are just fantastic!
Nobody is presenting these special cars so emotionally with so much background information as you, Chanelle! Thank you for another great lesson, Miss! PS. What about a trip to Maranello showing us around where these cars were built?
Unfortunately, this will soon be illegal, the Green peoples party probably have to ban the showing and glorification of combustion engines and particulate matter carriers such as vehicles with rubber tires in all media across the EU, as is the case with cigarettes!!!
Love the car Colleen !! In the spring of 1972, I wanted to buy chassis 1815 in Rome. Car was offered at Lira 700,000, $1100 or in todays money, Euro 350. Car now resides in the Haynes museum here in the UK. Original colour was silver blue green with a black interior, and as you say, buyer can paint it want he wants, so the car today is Rosso Corsa with a cream interior.
@@allensaunders449 I would Allen...how many miles would you need to put on it to depreciate exactly? To be able to afford a million dollar 250Gt you need to be pretty well-heeled! These are very mechanical cars with no silly electrics...Nick Mason drives his GTO well over 1000 miles a year and a friend of mine who owns a lovely Daytona drives his 4000 a year....a Colombo v12 needs a decent amount of action!
Love a Ferrari 250 ratrod. My Dad bought over a 250 GTE in the late 90s it was ratty but solid it then spent the next 10 years going from one body shop to another and finally a trimmers i really wish he had just drove it as was. He never got to enjoy the car and sold it. He did eventually owned and enjoyed a 308 GT4 for a number of years and although he seldom complained I think he regretted not getting to enjoying that Colombo V12.
4:30 The blue car shown during the “250 SWB” comment is a MODERN (2022/23) non-Ferrari interpretation, NOT the actual Ferrari 250 SWB from back in the day. 😬
It is fascinating to think back to the 1970s when cars like these had fallen so far out of fashion that they were essentially worthless. Most mechanics wouldn’t work on them. Parts in those pre-internet, pre-cell phone days were mostly nonexistent. Those that weren’t tossed aside had Chevy small blocks installed. In short their styling was considered dated and were a super pain to keep on the road. Funny old world izzintit?
Oh, that is one of the most precious piece of yours.
Another great video, I love your knowledge on these early cars

Gorgeous machine!!
Excellent presentation, well researched, I always learn something watching your videos, thanks Colleen!!

What some of us wouldn't give to go back to the year of build of this car. Cheers Coleen!
Can someone give this lady a new pair of pants… or give her a raise! 😅

Yes, the pants is not a good match for these classic cars. Something more timeless, classic and stylish would be better.

Sorry: Coleen! 😊 Not Chanelle..🤦♂️😂

These videos are great Colleen! Very classy and informative. I dream of one day being rich enough to be a customer lol.
Nice blouse

I still can't wrap my head around a half-finished PF Cab being well over $1 million.
Well if you can't drive it why bother...if I owned it I would drive it....just be careful where...if at all...where I would park it!
@@waynemarlow8157 would you drive any multimillion Dollar card that depreciate with every mile you put in it. Easy to say you would

PF suits you best Colleen!!👌💪🔥

Huh, how did we not catch that. Blame the video editor! 😜
@@FerrarisOnline That being said… I would LOVE to have EITHER one! 😆
amazing jeans; thumb up for them alone

Would paint this in silver.
The '61 250 gt swb is my favorite, like the one Sir Sterling Moss raced.
He raced both series 1 & 2 in Rob Walker colours.
Stirling
@@craigyirush3492 I know, spell check did that.
Spell check changed the name.
Fix the grill!! It’s crooked and it’s killing me! Then…fix your pants😄
The grill is just chilling in the front of the car for fitment. It is not bolted in place, as it will need to be removed for paint.
@@FerrarisOnline Ahhh, sorry, I’m just a bit OCD about this stuff.
I had his name right, but spell check changed it!
Do you have any mites home? Great video as always.
Or a dog a little temperamental.! Or both...!! 😂😘
Love to know how much this goes for.
We are asking $1,295,000
We have all the information on our website.

Wow!!!!
✌️
Never mind the Ferrari, you need a new pair of pants.
You need a decent pair of jeans.
Not a very memorable Pininfarina design. Even considering the restoration isn’t finished I think the car looks a bit bland.
Quick someone buy a Car that poor Women can't afford pants with out holes
I agree buy the car. Need pants and a belt sander.... The holes make the pants more aerodynamic. 🤪 venturi pants.. 🤣
