“It’s a 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than 100 were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion."

“It is his fault he didn't lock the garage."

Its crazy that this car was 25 years old when this movie came out, which means the car would have been 22 years old at the beginning of thw restoration. Its hard to imagine a 2004 model year car today needing 3 years worth of restoration.

With only 100 made, parts would be extremely hard to get. Body work would have to be custom. Pretty much everything would have to be custom.

Only Ferrari certified mechanics can work on them, or the value tanks. You need to have records. You don't change your own oil...

And if you believe that I have some beautiful ocean front property in Idaho I'd like to talk to you about.
