Tecnomodel Ferrari F365P Berlinetta Speciale Gianni Agnelli Year 1968 - Red

I had to have this one, a rare, and stunning one-off from Ferrari. Yes I know the original car is white, BUT I have 51 Ferraris in my collection to date, and each is RED! Please you Ferrari authorities don't get your panties in a bunch :D

I fell in live with the design ever since I saw it for the first time on 'Chasing Classic Cars'. I believe it sold at auction for $27 million US! :money: :money:

@ KRAFTIG: WHOA! Some serious eye candy there.

@wotda: Considering Audi has pretty much owned Le Mans this millennium, you can't go wrong with the R18.

Spark 919 Hybrid

And a BBR acrylic case for the 919.

Yes, yes, I dislike resin models, but I love the 919. And Porsches. My thinking is that if Autoart ever do the 919 its probably gonna be half arsed like the upcoming LMP Nissan (and Toyota).[/quote]

damnyouebay, why didn't you get the metal version 919 that they just released? It suppose to be cheaper too.

groupCin1.43, true they have dominated in Le mans. The only slip up was when peugeot with the 908 won it in 2009 in the wild weather.

Yeah, but the diecast one is just as sealed as the resin one, and the resin one is supposedly more accurate. There are a number of differences for some weird reason.

Well the Yellow I bought at the tale end of the original production, scored it for $90. sold for $140. BUT I always wanted the Red... From what I'm told the Ford GT is once again out of production and most likely won't be seen again in "diecast" form. SO folks f you want one get a hold of one fast! AUTOart is currently in the R&D stage with the new Ford GT, most likely composite.

It has 't arrived yet, BUT based on my first hand review of their Disco Volante the model will be exceptional!

I know! It is so striking! I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. So Ferrari is the first with three seats, no McLaren! ;)
