BLOGGERS AND THEIR DREAM CARS

Dale over at www.idale.co.za just did a feature on some guy bloggers and their dream cars. Some of them were pretty obvious, and some were nothing short of genius.

Personally, I thought mine took the cake. Please enjoy the Ferrari GT 250 California .. (a la Ferris Bueller..).

Mmm, she’s a real peach!

Here’s a little bit more info for those of you that saw the article:

 

Designed for export to America, the 1957 250 GT California Spider was Scaglietti’s interpretation of an open-top 250 GT.

Aluminum was used in the hood, doors, and trunk lid, with steel specified elsewhere for most models, though a few aluminum-bodied racing versions were also built.

The engine was the same as in the 250 Tour de France racing car with up to 240 hp (179 kW). All used the long 2600 mm (102.4 in) chassis.

About 45 were made before it was replaced by the SWB version in 1960.

One was auctioned on August 18, 2007 at Monterey, California, for 4.9 million dollars.
