I thought you just finished re-locating to Naples - and now you're going up North?

Never moved to Naples. Jax is the our first move since being in Tampa area for the last 15 years.

long ago mid 80's before the run up in value

there was a P-3/4 running around coconutt grove
real car not a kit or re-pro
I try to follow it not in a honda but in a chevy with a 350
got right behind him at the main traffic light
but he just flew away down main highway

but that was not the most valuable car I have seen on a normal street
I saw a Bugatti royal being used to go out to eat in 1974
in the super sub shop parking lot on sw 8 st
owned by Henry N a local collector/flipper

I told him he was a much better driver than I and I tossed him the keys to the Daytona. As he slipped behind the wheel he told me his wife's name was Amy and she was cute so I figured it was a even trade.

....and then we pulled into the only Hooter's in the world that I'll venture into and climbed aboard my yacht....

Yeah...I might know the area :D

Yes, sometimes but not other times.

Other times, not so much.

I think 365 GTBs are sublimely beautiful. Great proportions make a car, but the surface development of the body, particularly in the rear quarter, is outstanding and is worth a long, long, look. I have seen these at concours but not on the road. A couple of months ago I drove my car to Road America to watch vintage racing, and near the track a 275 GTB passed me going the other way. First time I've been passed by a $2m+ USD car on the road.

I like the GTS better, but I a partial to drop tops.

I used to live in that area and my family is from there. My parents and grand parents both had houses in that Southside area and I had a place in the Riverside area before I moved west...

There used to be a nice red Jaguar E-Type roaming around that area. I never tracked it down but saw it often enough on San Jose blvd.

I'm not at all surprised you saw the Daytona in Jacksonville. Amelia Island is a suburb of Jacksonville…and home to probably the second most prestigious car show in the world (after Pebble beach). There's a LOT of money there.

I saw one of the street legal original Ford GT40,s about 45 years ago. I worked for a guy who was a former Ford vp . I also had a ride in the second 930 sold in Canada back in 1975 or 76. Both iconic cars being driven like they should be.

last year the FOC had a nice drive/private museum tour of the Norton-Simon/catered lunch at one of the houses of the officer's in Los Feliz. Absolutely bonkers money there. the house was located on 7 tiered lots in Los Feliz. Here are some pics....the owner of the house had his yellow Daytona. My neighbor (when I lived in Granada Hills) is the National President for FOC...he's in one of the photos below. he sold his Daytona in the early 2000's to buy a 550 Maranello. When I asked him if he regretted it....he said "absolutely not. I never wanted to drive the Daytona. The 550 gets a workout. Don't care about the money..."
