    Earl Cazzaza (sp?) has a black 308GT4 on eBay and says he was offered $45K! The car is in Reno. Anyone know the car? Any comments?

    Then he should take it. There are so many things wrong with that car it is hard to know where to begin.

    I see no such car on eBay... Was the auction ended early?

    Oh, I see... I actually did see that ad, but to be honest, I thought it was for a book! I guess the current bid price should've been a clue. Not a very good auction "thumbnail," nonetheless...

    My favorite part - "he has a turbo that is not installed on the car but it is for that car."

    LOL.

    I did find on Barchetta.cc that there was a black GT4 that was once owned by Elvis Presley, but I don't think this is the same car.

    A guy I know has a citroen 2CV with "Elvis presley" as the previous recorded owner. Aparently someone sent off the registration and just changed the name to Elvis....

    or you could go for one of the thousands of cars "owned" by the late Colin Chapman...

    Those wheels on that car seem to belong to some Maserati (model escapes me presently).

    Mr. Niles,

    I do not know that car, the eBay description is by a young person on behalf of "grandpa"....sad the book is the first pic....

    Reads as he is the original owner, low miles, engine "don't know",.:rolleyes:.....turbo reference is also unfortunate but the phone number is righ there to call....

    If Elvis answers you'll know it's LOOOOOOOOOOOONG distance!

    "Well I tried to call up Elvis, but Roger Miller he grabbed the phone...
    an' he said "Man, you're drivin' 18 wheels, son!.....You're the King of the Road!"

    I'll bet that black/black was warm in Reno......it'll slurp leather treatment so loud, you can HEAR it!!!!

    A black 308GT4 for $45K??? The car would be worth about half of that, I would say around $24.5k. I love that emotional aspect about Ferraris though. Every now and then someone may offer ridiculous money for these cars.
