So, are the Exotics pictured owned by Sevas? If so when and where is the auction? I assume they will not be in business for much longer and a the courts and the banks are going to want to liquidate those assets. I think I saw the headlight of a red Ferarri Dino on one of the pics, I want it, and I might bid an the Carrera GT as well.

Is the F-car on the lift a 250? Isn't that rare as hell?

Too many things add up now. Spyro works there, and we caught the owner of Sevas trying (and miserably failing) to lie about it. The pics of the garage are from the album of some guy named Scott, now we know there's a Scott that works there too...not that I still believe for a minute that they really own that sickeningly hot car collection, since the license tags are NY and we know the Sevas crowd is all in FL...so I think even he ripped the pics off from whoever the real owner up in NY is...

Meanwhile, the stupid shill comes on here saying what trash HRE's are and how great Sevas rims are and how he's putting them on his E55...and oh ya...let's not forget that he posted pics of rims in boxes that must have been at Sevas' warehouse. Like CH said, this was clearly some viral marketing that went awry.

The moral of the story: Who knew shillfishing could be so much fun?

Yes, it looks like an early 60's GT or GT Lusso or maybe even a fixed roof variation of the California, either way they range in value from $1.5-$5 million plus. Most likely a replicar. That is an original OEM color for a 63 Lusso

I dunno, whoever the real owner is already has more $$$ than 1.5 mil in all the other cars in those pics, so I'm leaning towards it not being a replica. Especially when you consider, looking at those garage pics, that the garage is in an L-shape and the middle of it is open so the bays on one side aren't connected to the bays on the other side. Those pics are just of ONE SIDE of it. Lol. Wonder what's in the other side? Gotta be something, since you wouldn't start putting lifts in unless you were running outta space, right?

The other thing that kinda clinches it for me is the house...architecture and license plates indicate NY, and to have that much land it must be somewhere on LI. Gotta figure that place is worth $10mil+. And that pic is just of the garage, lol. If the garage looks like that, I can't imagine what the rest of the place must be like.

I bet that thing is real.

That's what happens when you pose, and lie about the lies that you lied about.

Something tells me this guy isn't the replicar type of dude. If he can get his hands on a Carrera GT he's not going to buy a fugazi 250. Last one I saw of those had 40,000 miles on it and was going for $800k.

I believe it's a late 50's or early 60's 250 GT Ellena. Not sure if it's a repro b/c the side vents on the quater panels. Less than 100 were produced, not sure of the exact number. The car below it is a 32 Ford Roadster custom. I tried looking for that car on several hot rod sites and at the Riddler competition to see if I can identify the owner. That one would be easier to identify the owner. Hey Spiro, how bout just telling us who the owner is because we're gonna find out anyways.

Funny thing being that we know more about the "LADIES" in that garage than Spyro. He would have folded under detailed questioning regarding the rarer cars.

I would lean towards replica, all the other cars combined would not equal the value of a GT Califonia. There are lots of nice replicas out there and even the replicas can be worth a couple hundred thousands bucks. The gargage itself is not too impressive....the cars yes, the structure...no. The lighting in there was an after thought. I could never cram that many cars together in such tight quarters, it sucks to have to move 2-3 cars to get to the one you want to drive, believe me I've done it.

Not sure if it's an Ellena b/c one of the Ellena's distinctive features is the lack of the little vent window aft of the A pillar, which the car in this thread has.

Also, I don't think the Ellenas had the vents/slats on the bodywork aft of the front fender, which this car has

More likely, it's a [1957] Ferrari 250 GT Boano

You were on the money - the Boano and Ellena are closely related

I know the house in question. I have seen it before. The garage does not match the house. It is a house built with a theater/game room showcased in AVSforums or Audio-Video Interiors. I remember the house distinctly. The doors for the garage are all wrong too.

There's a Ferarri Dino in there too. In the one picture with the red F 430, parked just to the right of it you can see a single headlight, it looks like a Dino, big bug eyed head lights, short hood with big fenders...I'd be my life it's a Dino
