MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Oops ….a real 289 fia engine. Fell in the pics. Sorry it’s real. Was going to take it out but thought you guys might like it.
  2. Here are some 1/12. a mock up of a 911-78 Moby dick Porsche. The black 427 cobra took the 1st place in special awards in the 2021 IPMS Las Vegas Nationals.
  3. I have a few 1/8 cars built. Here are a few pics the Toyota 2000 GT is 1/10 and the Red Bull f1 is 1/7
  4. I’ll play. I’m really not into 1940 cars but with that being said I thought I might try a 49 merc. I loved the build. Put a GT 500 supercharged engine in her, anyway here is a pic
  5. I loved my focus. Great car. Gave it to my son who still has it.
  6. A Z06 the only thing I do not like when I drive her is the front end like skids at slow speed . A little weird. But at high speed , pretty nice
  7. Ok the last 250 on the auction block was $42,000,000. The private sale of the silver 250 was bought privately for $72,000,000. So $100,000,000 is possible. History, history, history is everything. …. For instance take a regular 1965 mustang fastback. It sells for this much. If Carroll Shelby put his number on that car what is it worth now? Carroll Shelby has history. And if a famous race car driver raced or owned that car it goes up in price. History. Yeah $100,000,000 is possible.
  8. Ready to have the suspension and engine installed. After the install I get it back for the sheet metal. Just a 1:1 model.
  9. Hello Micheal. I never had that kind of money. These guys and gals have so much it’s unbelievable. There is a guy that just sold his computer company for $250,000,000 and he was at the bottom of the wait list to buy one of these. Insane! The guy at the top of the list has over 15 billion. He gets what he wants. I talked to him for several minutes and it was like we were friends forever. He just asked is my car going to be ready? I said yes and he’s a happy camper. Did not even care about cost. Boy to have that kind of money. I just charge a fair rate and it makes everyone happy. Now if it needs to be done faster they know the price goes up. A lot! And usually it has to be fixed fast. Another strange thing is that no one gets pushy. I have never had a guy or gal get weird on me. Now the guys who think they have money are the ones who try to get pushy. But I just mention one of these billionaires name and they shut up. I just got back from Denver to look at a wrecked ferrari. They paid for everything. These guys and gals do pay for everything. So I’ll be working on his car soon. Ferrari has also notified me that they want to make my city a port of entry for the challenge cars. It’s kind of getting bigger than I thought. Oh well let’s see where it goes.
  10. Just a big .1:1 model kit ….. well a very expensive model kit.
  11. Getting quite an assortment of parts. A little over $100,000 in parts, absolutely insane. My little 1:1 Ferrari parts and cars. Totally crazy.
  12. 917/30 engine. And tires and wheels. Framework next.
  13. Won this in a raffle at the Fremont Hornets contest
  14. Car finished and ran at laguna seca
