And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

I was 95 percent certain but I checked anyway. Yep, it's a 275 GTB-4 That would be a 3.3 liter quad ohc V-12. I believe it was only 2 valves per cylinder and my glossy Ferrari coffee table book included a quote by someone who took one for a test ride. The top speed is a bit under 170 MPH and the author wrote that at the 8,000 RPM red- line, the engine was so smoothe he was tempted to go fo 9,000.
Not long ago, these things could be had for under 250k, now they are going for ten times that!
Yes! Beautiful view of my Absolute favorite car of all time.
