1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2 + 2 will be for sale at La Dolce Vita's auction
2009 is the first year for a very special event to benefit the Shriners Hospital for Children of Northern California, and a new scholarship foundation that will help send an aspiring auto design student on to college: LA DOLCE VITA AUTOMOBILI. It has been a tradition for the better part of two decades to either show off your Italian car at Black Horse Golf Course or show up as a guest ready to stroll on foot while "sightseeing" touring through hundreds of exotic cars and unique ultra-luxury vehicles on display during the famous Monterey Car Week in Northern California. It's also been a long standing tradition for car clubs to host Concorso style events (car show Concours D'Elegance festivals) complete with judging and competitions set on the lush green grass at a country club setting that overlooks the Pacific Coast scenery. Cars like the 1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 and some of the finest examples of other Italian exotic cars will be on display for all to see in Monterey, California this week. Fun for families, fun for kids, fun for exotic car lovers, and for car collectors? The rumor is true -- you'll be able to make a bid on this famous and classic Ferrari.
Shriners, Masons, come out come out wherever you
are and show your support
for the Shriners Hospital for Children
by attending La Dolce Vita Automobili during Monterey Car Week
SPECIAL FERRARI HEADED TO AUCTION
Drew Alcazar, owner of Russo and Steele Auction Company, holds an evening auction during this very
weekend. Russo and Steele specializes in the sale of exceptional Muscle Cars and Sports Cars and
this year, he's displaying one of his star cars by day on the green at La Dolce Vita Automobili at Black Horse -- the tantalizing beauty cited in the title to this article.
This impeccable 1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 recently had a 35,000 mile engine rebuild by Bob Wallace
in Phoenix, Arizona. The interior has been completely restored. The trunk has been completely re-outfitted with all the bells and whistles including spare, tools, books and jack. The car is flawless.
This Ferrari received a Gold award at the 2006 FCNA Cavallino event and scored the coveted FCNA
Platinum award at last year's 2008 Monterey weekend. Awards like this are tough to achieve and every
single inch of the car is reviewed in the judging process including things like whether or not the hood and both doors are perfectly aligned.
Awards like these make Vintage Ferraris as well as other classic cars highly desirable to collectors and enthusiasts and typically mean the car will bring much higher dollar values when sold at an auction than if the car hadn't competed and actually won high honors.
Following the show, the car will be up for grabs to the highest bidder at the evening sale over the weekend. As such, ladies and gentlemen -- if you are a famous exotic car collector, you'll want to have your pen and checkbook or American Express Black Card ready.
La Dolce Vita Automobili: Taste the Italian Flavor
BACK TO SCHOOL BLUES? EDUCATIONAL VACATION ACTIVITY "THING TO DO" FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN
You won't want to miss the family friendly exotic car festival LA DOLCE VITA AUTOMOBILI at Black Horse on Friday August 14, 2009.
Hosted by a core group of some of the finest volunteers and car show event promoters across the country who were tired of the shows that provided a feeling that the general population of the peninsula community would be excluded, the event promised to be the most elegant yet family friendly way to spend a summer day with children and fellow like minded car enthusiasts.
And the best part? IT WON'T END UP COSTING YOU A FORTUNE. Ticket prices are very reasonable, and with each adult ticket purchased guests will receive a complimentary FREE ADMISSION ticket for CHILDREN. That means La Dolce Vita, while celebrating the good life and all things Italian, really and truly is recession proof and all-American.
