    Roel is right - thank you, Roel... i've called everyone i know - but no one will loan me 3-5 million dollars... Bruce just hung up on me when i called and asked him...! :)

    i'm going nuts wondering what's going to happen to it and who it's going to go to... i wonder (hope) if Ettinger is looking to buy it back... :)

    Um, no... Forget that, Jim should DEFINITELY get the Breadvan... He'd slap some plates and a reggie on it and go cruising... i can't think of a better life for La Camionette...

    I tend to agree. I would much rather have an alloy bodied 250SWB or even a 750 Monza or such. The breadvan is a historically neat car and all.... but aesthetically its freaking wierd looking.

    The concern is that we might lose the debateably ugly but incredibly historically significant body to some fool who chooses good looks over heritege ... and simply has too much money (and there are as many tasteless rich people as poorer people).

    As I have said before, cars like this should be protected by some sort of historical trust and this trust MUST be consulted during restorations or modifications.

    There are plenty of other cars out there to play with ... some need to be cherished as they are exercised.

    The breadvan must stay as the breadvan!

    Considering the Breadvan was invited to the GTO reunion the 3.5-5M price is a bargain compared to a GTO.

    Sad to see it go. Vintage racing is so big in Europe now I could see it going there. The stronger euro makes the US cars a good bit cheaper now.

    With the quoted prices 3.5-5M it looks to be worth more as the breadvan than as the SWB it originally was, so I guess no worries there.
    Wait, maybe there is money to make recreating the SWB and putting the breadvan body on a GTE chassis...
