Canepa was totally *****'n. Waaaaaay to many cars to describe.
A few of my favorites:

Duesenburg #1 ---yes, THE very first Duesenburg ever built is at Canepa.

A REAL 289 FIA, one of seven, Dan Gurney's ride. Didn't get the CSX, but I'm sure somebody here knows it.

Don Prudhome's (sp?) vintage rail dragster. How would you like to jam down a 1/4 mile with the rear differential keeping your nuts warm?

A 427 S/C stripped down to the frame and aluminum, undergoing a full restoration.

A couple of gullwing Mercedes Benz'.

A bunch of Cobras, including Reggie Jackson's 427.

A nice Woodie wagon.

And on, and on, and on. What a great tour Sean provided. Sean used to work for Jack Roush (sp?), and is head of procurement. I asked him about the Cobra that was for sale, and if I could take a look at it, and he graciously provided a pretty comprehensive tour. Simply amazing.

The Dueseberg has been owned by the same family in Hawaii since 1918. Canepa is going to do a full restoration for Pebble in 2010.

The FIA car is CSX2323 - http://www.canepa.com/collection/car...bra/index.html

So many great cars to see.
