    Mild Ferrari threadjack....

    This was at the Pacific Northwest Historics in Seattle over the weekend...

    Chassis # 0666, the very first Ferrari Testarossa 250 TR. Built in 1957... best guesstimate is $20 mil... and it sounds as nice as it looks...

    Ahh, memories. The linked Jalopnik Breadvan post resulted in my favorite COTD of all time.

    I hope I don't get banhammered for doing a threadjack but I think you should see this:

    I thought the XJ rear end looked weird, but after video footage I think it looks perfect. BTW, don't know why, there's no audio.

    @Syrax: The whole car's aesthetic looks better in motion. The high angle shots still make the taillights look a bit funny, but the low angle shots, particularly the first low angle drive by, the taillights look really nice. It's probably because it hides the wrap to the top of the vehicle. I don't think that the bahammer should swing for the threadjack, but the comment might be justifiably demoted to Tier 2 for lack of relevance to the post.

    Stunning car. Always liked the brown on this. The early 250 SWBs look best in a powder blue or ivory.


    There were earlier supercars, however. The Maserati 5000GT, Ferrari's 410 Superamerica, and Pegaso Z-102 were all just as fast and belonged to the '50s. All of them comfortable tourers.


    The difference I guess is that the Lusso could handle the corners a lot better.

    Brad Pitt is not worthy to polish McQueen's shoes.

    Why in the world would anyone watch that moron pretend to be The Man? You can see plenty of footage of the real deal.

    Hollywood is creatively bankrupt and should be shut down with no bailout.

    As for the car--I'll be back in a minute.

    This might be my favorite car on the planet. That being said, I'm most impressed that his car collection never reached critical mass, causing some sort of manly singularity that would smell like Old Spice if anything could escape its immense gravitational pull.


    Come on, this parked next to his XKSS, 911, and all of those motorcycles? Possibly the end of the universe itself.

    Oh, one other thought: remember yesterday when many of us were questioning the "greatest automotive FAIL ever" post?


    Well, if you changed the title of this post to "most beautiful automotive WIN ever made", I doubt you would get as much disagreement.

    There is a good reason why I have a pic of this car as my monitor wallpaper. I think it may be the most beautiful car ever made, certainly the most beautiful Ferrari existent.


    Y'all can have the F430's and the 599's. Keep em. I'll just take this one little brown car for my very own, thankyouverymuch.


    Thanks, Pete, for the post and the pics. Lil' Jalops everywhere need to know about cars like this one. Modern supercars are nice and all but they'll never ever have the style, class, beauty and sophistication of a car like this. Could their possibly be a car that is more McQueen?

    And to answer yesterday's gushy romantic QOTD: yes, but only for this car.
