I always was floored by this good looking beauty since I found out about it in the 80’s,
Still can’t get over the amount details our cars managed to get from it.

Your white snowflake looks to have a lot better detail than mine, all your chrome details are just painted black on mine.
I will detail it(a few years of dust) and give it a well deserved photo shoot, give me a few days…

More drooling action and sound on the 3,500,000$ auction car here:


Anyone know what the groovy music is on the auction video?

Here's a little better view. It's an Atwater Kent Model 20 AM radio from the 1920's.

That looks interesting, different, not what I was expecting, nostalgic.
Thanks for posting.

Here ya Go:

Your AutoArt is a way better quality than my cheap ass 10$ lucky find.

Wonder what the auction on this First Serial-Numbered Toyota 2000 GT – Chassis MF10-10001 will get?

That's a great composition in the first shot! The clutch disk and the Ferrari(?) blurring off into the distance just seem right.


The auction? A 2000 GT of this provenance AND massaged by Carrol Shelby . . .

I like #3 with the Torii gate and what seems to be a large sun, the 2000gt surveying the landscape in its native setting.

Yes! It is a 16x12” picture to remind me of my Asian trip and what I remember seeing around lake Ashi (we did Japan, China, Thailand, HK )
I did with my Ant & Uncle in January 1989. (Side note, something always happens a month or 2 after I visit places…) Wish I could go back.

Tks.
About Those RED One’s in the background: It is a F50 (made in Italy Bburago) also present is a S2000 Maisto. Clutch is an Exedy,
that may go in my GD3 if needed, but for the time being does double duty as a photo prop and door stop…
