Some seem well preserved, like the Ferrari and the Facel, but the others, man, I've been scrapyard taking better care of their junk.

They did say that a significant percentage of the cars are being sold as parts vehicles. Depending on the rarity and value involved, that might just mean "bigger project."
Finding a lost Ferrari California Spyder is like something out of an insane movie plot. As fond as I am of vintage Ferraris (hell, my cat is named Ferrari), that Frua-designed Maserati might be even more drool-worthy.
The Facel was actually a link to a different story. That was a barn find out of the US. Brought big money for a car that needed a complete nut-and-bolt restoration, too.
or this one,

a house fell on it and then burned to the ground.

9000 man hours.
They are worth lots of millions $$$

I agree a vintage Ferrari is always an Unicorn.
55-57 Vette might be a better/more worthy car, but the reality is that a Ferrari 250 is still worth millions (lots of millions!!) on the market.or this one,

'53-57 vette looks similar and would be a better/more worthy car.....
at least the engines can be swapped without an act of CONNgress and will last over 10k miles.....WTF good is a garage queen???
:club::clobbered:
The remaining ones go to Bobs77vet. :bonkers::rofl::smash:Artcurial thinks that only 60 of the cars are actually in salable condition, and they cross the block during the Retromobile Salon in February. The auctioneers believe the Ferrari could sell for as much as 12 million euros (14.74 million) and the Maserati for 1.2 million euros ($1.5 million).
