A friend/customer had a 67 330 GT Ferrari. Was never, I mean NEVER gonna sell it.
He is in Oakland,ca. A guy saw his membership in a Ferrari Cub roster, called him from Texas, said he wanted to look at it.
Friend said, “it ain’t for sale”. TezN said, “I just want to see it”.
Well he flew up to Oakland rented a car and showed up at my friend’s storage garage where he keeps his early Ford V8s and the Ferrari.
So the Texan shot him a price offer way over what it was worth.
When the owner gulped and got up off the floor the Texan thought he had offended him so he offered $10,000 more.
They agreed to meet at the ownwer’s bank the next morning at 9AM.
The buyer called the owner the next morning at 9:20 to say he is at the bank.
The owner went to the bank and when the bank told him his account had the texan’s money they shook hands, the Texan got the keys and the previous owner called cab.
Now that is a good way to sell a car.
