Time for a story
The Blue car below was the one that got away story. It is 1 of 5 Frua bodied 1951 Maserati A6G 2000 Roadsters. In 1983 I had the hots and about $14000 to buy a toy. My cousin called me from Florida and told me a client of his went bad on a $25,000 debt and he ended up with this fresh restored beauty. But, a 1951 car was not high performance by the way of what I was looking for and I didn't have 25K to spend. My cousin then made the deal sweeter. He said; give me $12,500 take the car, play with it until you get bored and then give me half of whatever you sell it for whenever you sell it. I pondered and then I found a gorgeous 1963 Corvette Sebring Silver "Original"(Evan, Can you hear me know) 340HP roadster for $12,500. Well, I bought the Corvette and played with it. Spent another 9K restoring it and sold it in the Hayday 80's for $28,000. I thought I did pretty good considering it was my first classic car. Well my cousin had a hard time getting the Maserati sold but finally did in 1984 for the $25k. Then the explosion of the late 80's happened and cars went nuts. The Maserati re-sold right at an auction for around $450,000!!! Yes 450 big ones. Talk about the money for a real Comp Car Cobra???Please I wanted to die... The car now trades in the 300's and will always be one of 5 made and now from what I hear only 1 of 3 known to exist...Talk about hind sight
*****I will try again to load photo. I can't seem to.....
