Cars and Coffee v.8.13 *American Luxury edition*

[SVT2888]

The classic American luxo barges where out in force this past weekend at Cars and Coffee. It's always great to see these classic symbols of excess. But they weren't the only symbols of excess present. We had a Rolls-Royce Drop Head Coupe with it's carbon fiber umbrellas, a TWIN-TURBO Saleen S7, an SLR roadster and coupe, and a stunning brown SLS roadster.

But the cars that drew the biggest crowds where a Ferrari TR parked out in the back and Old Yellar #7 sitting out front. The Ferrari might have been a newly built TR rep, but it looked and sounded very much the part. It's owner and builder used to own the real deal at one time. It was also good to hangout around it as it seemed like the who's who amongst the Ferrari elite where around it. I heard many stories of TR's and GTO's that they once owned. Old Yellar had people confused at the show, and it seems to have caused quite the stir online too. Here is a discussion on BaT with much info on it: BaT 1961 Old Yellar 7.

But enough of my blaberring, here are my picks of this weekends pics:

What was the story on the naked 250TR? Undergoing a restoration or somebody building the car?

I have been looking for my dad's old 250TR and am curious about this one.

I want to go to this so bad.

Somebody is building it. As far as I know it's not the real deal.

Have you tried joining Ferrarichat and asking there?

Just give them as much info as you have on the car. Being a TR there is a good chance it is still around.

I will do so. The part that scares me is he tells me that it was a 4 cylinder alloy boddied car. He and a friend bought it off of a dealer lot that specialized in retired race cars. It was right hand drive... I will find the photo and post it.
