[BAD10]

275k? Holy crap !

[TheMonkey]

i didn't see anything about 275k? tom, was that the offer price? hmm....

[Stuart]

It's a beautiful car but I think he got a little carried away with the description...

389/425 HP TROPHY TRI-POWER V-8 ENGINE

EVERY NUT, BOLT AND ITEM ON THIS CAR IS N.O.S.

[GP9739]

Anyone know who did the restoration?

[bigponts62]

The car looks like the one from the Randy Williams Collection that was sold at the Mecum fall auction last year. If so a very very nice car, as were the rest of the cars the family had there.

I think a Scott Tiemann restored it ? if it is the car from the Williams Collection.

These were talked about before:

Stuart- i had to read your post 3 times before i realized the humor. i went to a soccer coaches clinic at city hall tonight and they were talking about epi-pens... she described the action as "quick and fast"

[Stuart]

It does look like the Randy Williams '61. http://www.mecumauction.com/auctions...D=CH1006-42978

[vidguy]

I absolutely LOVE that year and model... One of the finest designs ever IMHO.

I called the guy,no alu bumper,not the Williams car as best I could find out.Nice but without any documented race history and bucket seats might be a little high.He did say it was built with NOS parts,NO repo stuff.FWIW.I like mine even more now!LOL

Yeah, me too!! LOL. I should have bought the car from my buddy and did what you are doing. The best part being that I could have done a smok'n paint job myself and really upped the value of the car. Oh well. BTW, did you put a "driver" paint job on it, like you talked about? Hard to tell in the pics..............

[tom s]

just had a detail shop put a pad on it,came out GREAT!Just years of road grime.Tom

[tom s]

OK,been thinking a lot about this car,VERY NICE,beyond nice,BUT, what would I rather have,this car or mine with 233K in the glove box!LOL,Tom

i think that thought exercise is moot until anyone finds out what someone is actually willing to pay. i am not an expert, but that seems like a steep asking price. your price of $42 however seems very fair, particularly as i'm knee deep in a project right now. with that said.... i hope that both your car and that 275k car sell for as much as possible.

[tom s]

actually there is recent history for 61 Venturas going for the 250-300K range,all had serious race history like a Arni car.Tom

[rusticoaf]

i would put a small amount of money on this car being the one from dad's collection. too many things look familiar for it to be a coinidence.

either way the '61 from dad's collection was not restored by scott. it was purchased from ed giolma. if memory serves, ed did the restoration himself.

jerod

[Stuart]

Jerod, thanks for the info. If anyone knows how to restore a '61, it would be Ed Giolma. Do you recall when your dad bought that car? I met Ed at the POCI nationals in 2001; he had a couple cars there and I seem to remember one of them had a SD389 in it although I can't remember if it was a red one...I'd have to dig through old photos and see if I have any pictures.

[rusticoaf]

Mid-late 90's maybe. I'll have to check.
