It's cute you think that makes my post incorrect

The local saturation of exotics at your particular location doew not make them not rare. Nothing you say will change that.

Tigers are great cars, and the market for them is hot right now.

Older friend of mine has a 66 Lotus Elan that he has had since new.

A friend let me borrow his Ferrari 458 Italia for a couple of weeks, that was pretty sweet. Only about 3,000 of those produced.

There was a black Ferrari F50 running around NOLA a while back. I'd definitely drive that.


I seriously doubt that

The guy had it at Lake Marina Tower across from the Orleans Marina. This was back in 2000 or so.

I just find it hard to believe one of, if not the rarest modern Ferrari was driving around nola at any time, except for maybe being specially brought down for the FQC

It was definitely here for one of those Pics of rare Ferraris from French Quarter Classic and other events, but I personally saw it at the Lake Marina Tower several times.

Yea but when they’re all in for the FQC it’s not longer rare bc so many of the are around.

In just that area

For a weekend

Once a year.

I've seen a mid-80s 70 Series Land Cruiser a couple of times around town the last 6-8 months. Every now and then, it just pops up. Nearly identical to this one, but it is Left Hand Drive.

Found the proof

quote:

Exactly one year after that service was completed, the striking black F50 was sold through Ferrari of Beverly Hills to Mr. Jim Spiro, a resident of New Orleans, Louisiana.
quote:

By October 2001 Jim Spiro had well and truly fallen in love with his F50,the car then displaying more than 26,000 miles and Jim commenting that he used it on every sunny day! It was also in October of 2001 that Jim displayed the car at the 2nd Annual Madewood Concours on the Bayou in Louisiana before having its $15,000, 30,000-mile service performed in early 2002.
quote:

In September 2002, the car passed to Mr. Dan Heard, a resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. At the time of acquisition, the car had covered 37,435 miles. Mr. Heard showed his F50 at the 2003 Cavallino Classic XII in Palm Beach where it sat on the lawn next to the newly unveiled Ferrari Enzo. Later in 2004, the car attended the Ferrari Club of America track day at Laguna Seca, then in November of that same year it was shown at the Ferrari French Quarter Classic in New Orleans where it affectionately earned the nickname 'F50K' due to the 50,000 miles the car had now covered.


So yes, one of the rarest Ferraris was actually all over south Louisiana. But since I saw it a bunch, it must not be rare.

This guy in my parent's neighborhood has a Corvette like this and he leaves it parked on the street like an a-hole.
