text: I know some of you guys have the done sbr riga-ma-roll before and maybe you can answer a question for me. I got a 22mag marlin bolt action that was vandilized/smashed, and the end of the barrel is tweeked bad. But just the last 5-6 inchs I think it would make a good canidate for a target pistol similar to a Ruger charger pistol, but bolt action. Don't fall off the chair on me now, I know this is a no no with out the paperwork in hand first, this gun has already been reported stolen/recovered and damaged beond normal repair to BATF, so we're cool there. Anyways it just seems that there should be a way to do this under the statues thay have, is this what the "SBR" clasification is used for?? I honestly don't know but some of you that have done the SBR thing might have a better idea on this. It just seems a shame to let this gun go to waste the way it is. Money wise, I don't really think it's all that cost effective to rebuild at all, original or pistol configuration by cutting down or if I can even get a new barrel for it to start with to put it back to normal. I have no idea what the cost of the SBR thing would be. I just think something like that in 22mag would be the cats ass for chucks, kinda like scaled a down Weatherby or Remington pistols that are already out there on the market, no real difference, except in the eyes of the law, sure don't wan't to fuck up there, Any advice would be great!!! I have NO IDEA, SBR, NFA, any classification?????? No clue. Maybe just scrap metal??? Help!!

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1965 DeTomaso Sport 5000 prototype
Given both of their ties to Ford Motor Company during the Sixties, one would have thought Carroll Shelby and Alejandro de Tomaso would have crossed paths more than once, but the two (with plenty of input from Peter Brock) only collaborated on one project that resulted in two cars, one of which is this 1965 De Tomaso Sport 5000 prototype for sale on Hemmings.com. The story of how it came to be is included below, and the car itself appears largely unrestored and original, thanks to its shelving shortly after it debuted. From the seller's description:
This Sport 5000 came to be in late 1964 when De Tomaso had just launched the Vallelunga road car with its unusual backbone chassis. While the design of the Vallelunga was sound and the vehicle itself an absolute beauty, the use of a hopelessly underpowered and diminutive four-cylinder Ford engine as a stressed member gave the car only excellent handling but no real overall performance as a sports car or the potential as a racer.
One of the easiest and cheapest ways to get more power out of the Vallelunga was to fit a compact and powerful American V8 engine. This is where Shelby and Brock entered the story as he supplied a competition version of the small-block Ford V-8 mated to one of Brock's most timeless design concepts. Many have guessed that Shelby believed this new V-8 engined De Tomaso could be a possible replacement for the aging Cooper based King Cobras. In any case, Shelby and Brock certainly took the project seriously putting forth amazing effort and energy into both the 7.0-lite P70 and our subject vehicle here, the Sport 5000.
To accept the more powerful engine, De Tomaso made a variety of modifications to the design of the backbone chassis. Unlike the more familiar backbone chassis used by Lotus, the Italian variant did not have an Y-fork to support the engine and suspension. Well ahead of his time, De Tomaso used the engine as a fully stressed member. It left observers in period wondering what would happen to the engine and its internals once force was applied to it. Their worries were justified with the four-cylinder Ford engine but the HiPo 289 was a far more rigid and overall not that much heavier engine block. The reinforced back-bone chassis was also up to the task and mounted to it was suspension that followed a more familiar pattern with the exception of the rear mounting points; brackets on the clutch housing instead of somewhere on the chassis. The rolling chassis was exceptionally light due to its minimalistic design, which would later (in better executed form) would become the norm particularly for single seater racers.
Shelby tasked his prized designer Peter Brock to pen a roadster body for the new De Tomaso racing car the likes of which are absolutely pure Brock genius! The finished designs were sent to Italy to be turned into aluminium by local metal workers. As similar design for the P70 was also used to body the last of the King Cobras, known as the Lang Cooper. In January of 1965 De Tomaso took the wraps off the P70, which used a mock-up chassis and a poor interpretation of Brock's design. Disappointed by the Italians' work, Shelby sent Brock over to personally supervise the construction of a new body. Brock worked alongside Medardo Fantuzzi in the Fantuzzi workshop. The result was the completion of two similar but equally different low bodies, dominated by a large, moveable rear wing with both featuring full doors to make them elligible for GT-racing. After each was mated to their rolling chassis, they were publicly identified for the first time as the Sport 5000 and the P70. Our subject vehicle here, the Sport 5000's name was derived after its 5-litre engine with light alloy cylinder heads, pistons and connecting rods which along with four Weber carburetors, special cam, cam timing and ignition timing allowed the small-block Ford to produce up 475 bhp at 7,300 rpm!
Some time later in 1965 Shelby withdrew his backing of these projects due to mounting pressure from Ford corporate officials. It is generally accepted that all his efforts were needed to turn the Ford GT40 into a Le Mans winner, which he duly did. With Shelby out of the picture, De Tomaso had to look for another backer. In coach builder Ghia he found an unlikely sponsor, which led to the car to be renamed to "Ghia De Tomaso" before the Turin debut. The car was officially completed on September 3rd, 1965 when a formal "Certificato d'Origine (Certificate of Origin) was issued for de Tomaso's newest creation. This itself is one of the more interesting ironies surrounding this vehicle. The car was actually built and bodied by Fantuzzi but upon completion was adorned with Ghia body badges and they are still present to this day! The Ghia De Tomaso was shown again in February of 1966; probably the last time the car was shown in public. At the time of the Road & Track article Brock had left Shelby and set up his own design firm.
De Tomaso subsequently modified the existing design and fielded this car as the De Tomaso Sport 5000 in the the Mugello 500 km race. On the starting grid, the deTomaso easily pulled away from a Ferrari 250LM as a result of it's significantly lower weight (800kgs/1,760lbs) and massive down force as a result of the "Brock" designed adjustable rear wing.) Unfortunately the car was forced to retire in the opening laps with an electrical ground that shorted out the battery. It was the last time the public saw this exciting sports racer. The last time the public heard of the Sport 5000 was in 1967, when it appeared on the entry list for the 12 Hours of Sebring and then later at the 1,000km Monza race in Italy, but in both cases the car never showed up and it remained quietly in storage collecting dust over the next 40 years.
Some good came from the project though as the backbone chassis and much of the running gear was later used for the beautiful De Tomaso Mangusta road car. Interestingly Magnusta is the only natural enemy to Cobra. As noted above, the Sport 5000 remained in storage at the deTomaso workshops and only resurfaced publicly after Alejandro de Tomaso's death in 2004. One year later in 2005 de Tomaso's estate sold the car to Belgian Collector, Paul Grant who ran the car in several historic races before it was sold to a USA based enthusiast prior to coming to Symbolic earlier this month.
De Tomaso Sport 5000 Today: Incredibly, nearly 50 years after being given its first public debut, the Sport 5000 remains remarkably well preserved as well as fully sorted and completely functional. The cars paint and livery are untouched as completed by Fantuzzi under Peter Brock's watchful eye. The original HiPo 475 bhp, 289-cubic-inch engine remains fitted, although freshly rebuilt and fully serviced. It is mated to the original De Tomaso designed, Collati inspired five-speed transaxle. The car is an absolute blast to drive with GT40 performance but significantly better visibility.

Fifth-built Dual-Ghia takes Best in Show at Hemmings Concours d'Elegance
Photos by the author.
About half a dozen years ago, when David Salzman of Jupiter, Florida, began his search for a collector car from the 1950s to restore and show, he found himself looking beyond the typical choices. "The Cadillacs and the Buicks just weren't doing it for me," he said. But then he came across a very atypical car, a 1956 Dual-Ghia, that would lead him to the winner's circle at this weekend's Hemmings Motor News Concours d'Elegance.
"Tom glommed me onto it," Salzman said, referring to restorer Tom White of Hopkinton, Massachusetts, whose personal 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Spring Special won the same honors at last year's Hemmings Motor News Concours d'Elegance. Salzman had discussed his dissatisfaction with the big and chrome-laden American cars of the Fifties, and consulted White for an alternative. White, who already owns a Dual-Ghia, suggested Salzman consider one of those, and the hunt began.
Finding a Dual-Ghia is easier said than done, though. The product of Eugene Casaroll's Dual Motors Corporation of Detroit, formed explicitly from Casaroll's desire to see Virgil Exner's Firearrow concept in production, the Dual-Ghia didn't last long. Based on a 1956 Dodge chassis, powered by a 1956 Dodge 315-cu.in. V-8, and bodied in Italy by Carrozzeria Ghia, the Dual-Ghia cost more than $7,600 new, an amount that only the wealthiest few could afford. That amount also reportedly failed to cover Cassaroll's costs, and as a result, production topped out at somewhere around 117.
According to White, a woman named Esther Jacobson, who owned one of the largest retail store chains in Michigan, originally bought Dual-Ghia serial number 105, the fifth production Dual-Ghia, equipped with wire wheels and painted light green. White and Salzman had tried to determine whether Frank Sinatra had owned 105 – the crooner is known to have owned an early Dual-Ghia painted in a light color – but in the end couldn't match a serial number to Sinatra's. They've also yet to discover much of the car's history over the years; pretty much all they know is that it had been hit once, was re-painted dark turquoise, and had been equipped with electric fans and an alternator when White and Salzman found it.
While the restoration commenced immediately, a few stumbling blocks got in the way. White said it took three years for him to find the correct Motor Wheels wire wheels for the Dual-Ghia, and he had to fabricate numerous items, both large and small, for the car. "These cars are all unique – you can't simply pull the hood off one and install it on another one," he said. "We ended up having to fabricate the decklid, the rear bumper, and the moldings for the car." And then came the paint. White and his crew found patches of the original paint when tearing the car down, custom-mixed new paint, and then found that it wouldn't adhere to the Dual-Ghia's steel body panels. "We finally had to paint it, then let it sit for nine months to make sure it wouldn't lift."
White and his crew wrapped up the restoration just in time for this year's Concours d'Elegance of America, where the Dual-Ghia won first in its class. Competing in the post-war European class at the eighth annual Hemmings Concours d'Elegance, the Dual-Ghia not only took first in its class, but also made the cut for Best in Show.
The full list of winners from the concours will be made available shortly.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1960 Facel Vega HK500
While the current attitude toward unrestored cars tends to fall on the "leave it as it is" side of the argument, it's hard to imagine this 1960 Facel Vega HK500 for sale on Hemmings.com – a running and driving and rust-free car that has nevertheless become a little shabby over the last half-century – remaining unrestored or at the least unrefurbished and unresearched for very long. From the seller's description:
California car from new. This car was built in December 1959, so it is a1960 Model, the car was ordered by and delivered to Agent Satori in California/USA. There are no records of who was the first owner.
The car has the three speed Torqueflite automatic transmission, power steering, disc brakes, closed Borrani steel wheels, tinted glass. original radio, Air Conditioning, complete but Ultra rare to find an unrestored unmolested Facel Vega, it is an unknown car, with 70,181 original miles.
It is being offered for sale for the first time in over 30 years, it was kept inclimate controlled Garage since August 1998, under a dust cover, Body is 100 percent rust free as is the chassis. Window go up and down fast, and even the two antenae work when the radio is turned on. It comes with it's original tool kit, and original spare.
The car has all new fluids and all belts were changed, and now runs and drives perfectly there is a small blow by on the driver's side exhaust and probably needs a new gasket, other than that the car is mechanically very sound. The brakes were also overhauled, to make this a fantastic driving car, that can be a daily driver, you will of course need to fit new tires for safety reasons even though they have plenty of tread. Nothing has been done to improve it's apprerance, has flat paint, torn interior, as that would unbalance the originality the Facel.

Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1 sells for $88,000
1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1. Photos courtesy Auctions America.
Touted for its versatility with ad copy that read, "Drag it! Race it! Swing with it!," the Sunbeam Tiger followed the formula – made familiar by the Allard and Cobra – of stuffing a Ford V-8 engine between the front fenders of a lightweight, open-top British sports car. Once perceived as the "poor man's Cobra," Sunbeam Tiger prices have risen in recent years, and further evidence of this trend was delivered this past weekend when a restored 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1 sold for $88,000 (including buyer's fees).
1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1.
The Sunbeam Tiger was born of the necessity to create a more powerful variant of the Sunbeam Alpine roadster. To avoid the costs and delays associated with developing its own V-8 engine, Sunbeam (and parent Rootes Group) went shopping for an off-the-rack engine that would suit its purposes, and found it in the form of Ford's 260-cu.in. V-8, the same engine that powered Shelby's original Cobra. Looking to make the car's development as painless as possible, Ian Garrad, Rootes Group's West Coast sales manager, contracted with Carroll Shelby to supervise the build of the Sunbeam Tiger prototype. When Garrad learned that Shelby would take 90 days to deliver the (fully tested) prototype, the Rootes Group sales manager reached out to another California racer, Ken Miles, who promptly delivered a proof-of-concept car to get the project started.
1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1.
Lord Rootes was reportedly so pleased with Garrad's efforts (and Shelby's polished prototype) that he immediately approved production, following up with a purchase order for 4,000 260-cu.in. V-8s (at the time, the largest engine order Ford had ever received from another firm). Production would be contracted out to Jensen Motors, and in the summer of 1964, the first Sunbeam Tigers began arriving in the U.S. and Canada. Late 1966 saw the introduction of the Sunbeam Tiger Mk II, which featured Ford's higher-output 289-cu.in. V-8, but by then the end of production was already in sight. Thanks to a takeover of the Rootes Group by Chrysler in 1964, it was only a matter of time before Ford-engined Tiger production was halted, and in June of 1967, the last Tiger rolled off the assembly line.
1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1.
The 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I that crossed the stage in Auburn previously called the John Scotti Collection home, and was offered at no reserve. Those bidding may have been swayed by the car's condition, which was described by Auctions America as "fully restored" and "like new in nearly every way." Purists would argue that the car's Panasport wheels are similar to, but not the same as, the car's original Minilites, and that BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires were not available when this example was first constructed. Those intimately familiar with the model could surely find other flaws as well, but that negates the real lesson of this no-reserve auction; when the car crossed the stage, bidders determined the value of a well-restored (but not historically accurate) Sunbeam Tiger Mk I to be $88,000.
The auction's top seller, a 1934 Chrysler Custom Imperial Airflow, went for $213,400.
Cars in the Auctions America Auburn top 10 included a 1934 Chrysler Custom Imperial Airflow, which sold for $213,400; a 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS 409 factory lightweight, the Zintsmaster 409, which sold for $151,250; a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, which sold for $148,500; a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster, which sold for $145,750; a 1939 Packard Twelve Touring Cabriolet by Brunn, which sold for $137,500; a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with the 427-cu.in., 435-horsepower V-8, which sold for $137,500; a 1960 Chrysler 300F convertible, which sold for $132,000; a 1957 Chrysler 300C convertible, which sold for $115,500; a 1953 Buick Skylark convertible, which sold for $112,500; and a 1969 Shelby G.T. 500 Fastback, which sold for $110,000.
This 1975 Chrysler Cordoba sold for $5,225.
With more than 900 lots crossing the auction block, those looking for bargains were not disappointed. Among the most surprising deals were a 1965 Ford Thunderbird hardtop, sold for $3,575; a 1977 Cadillac Eldorado coupe, which sold for $3,520; a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker sedan, which sold for $4,400; a 1973 Mack CF600 fire engine, which sold for $4,675; a 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite, which sold for $4,950; a 1978 Lincoln Continental, which sold for $4,850; a 1975 Chrysler Cordoba, which sold for $5,225; a single-owner 1985 Mazda RX-7 , which sold for $5,720; a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door custom sedan race car, which sold for $6,710; and a 1947 Crosley Roundside pickup, which sold for $6,600.

1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe sells for $460,000 in Monaco
1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe. Photo by Franck Sicre, courtesy RM Auctions.
Chrysler's Ghia-built show cars of the early 1950 demonstrated the potential of a marriage between Italian coachbuilding (influenced by Virgil Exner's designs) and American engineering. Chrysler only had six Ghia Special Coupes constructed, but Ghia followed up with another dozen Special Coupes of their own. Last weekend, a 1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe, one of the 18 cars originally built, crossed the stage in Monaco, where it sold for a price of 336,000 euros ($462,353) including buyer's fees.
The Ghia-bodied Chryslers were never intended to be merely show cars, as both companies contemplated the potential of putting the exclusive coachbuilt coupes into limited production. Ghia Specials were never offered through American Chrysler dealers, but buyers in Europe could drive away in one of the stylish two-doors, sold through Société France Motors, Chrysler's European sales agent. The similarly-styled Ghia GS-1 even saw a production run of 400 units, once again available only to buyers on that side of the Atlantic.

The Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe that crossed the block in Monaco last Saturday, chassis number 7231533, came powered by its original 331-cu.in. Chrysler Fire Power Hemi V-8.
mated to a PowerFlite two-speed automatic Fluid Drive transmission. According to RM's auction description, chassis 7231533 was sold new by Société France Motors to Leon Coulibeuf, a postwar industrialist with a passion for sports cars and a racing resume that included participation in the 1953 Tour de France Automobile and the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans. It's not entirely clear if Coulibeuf purchased the Ghia coupe for his own use or for his wife's enjoyment, but its first time in the spotlight (at the 1953 Concours d'Elegance d'Enghien-les-Bains) listed his wife as the car's entrant.

Restored by a previous long-term owner in 1990, the Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe has, until now, spent its entire existence in France, and it's reportedly been shown just once post-restoration, at the 2001 Louis Vuitton Concours at Bagatelle. Its sale on Saturday represented the first time the car has been offered to the public since new, and its selling price of €336,000 ($462,353) reflected its clean-but-not-quite-concours-ready condition. A comparable 1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe, in unrestored form, sold at RM's 2010 Monaco Auction for a price of €246,400, then the equivalent of $309,832.

As one would expect from an auction in Monaco, Ferraris were well represented, occupying six of the sale's top 10 spots. The high dollar car was a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C, one of just 12 produced and said to be among the most original examples remaining, which sold for €5,712,000 ($7.86 million). Other lots rounding out the top 10 included a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I, which sold for €4,704,000 ($6.47 million); a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS, which sold for €2,128,000 ($2.93 million); a 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S Spider sports prototype racer, which sold for €2,072,000 ($2.85 million); a 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Daytona sports prototype racer, which sold for €1,260,000 ($1.73 million); a 1958 Lister-Jaguar "Knobbly" Prototype, which sold for €1,176,000 ($1.6 million, or considerably less than the $1,980,000 the car sold for last August in Monterey); a 1966 Brabham-Repco BT20 Formula One racer, which sold for €1,092,000 ($1.5 million); a 1997 Ferrari F50, which sold for €907,200 ($1.25 million); a 2003 Ferrari Enzo, which sold for €868,000 ($1.19 million); a 1956 Porsche 356 A Carrera 1500 GS Speedster, which sold for €840,000 ($1.16 million); and a 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400S, which also sold for €840,000.

Barn finds sell for six figures at U.K. restoration-themed auction
Barn-find 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe. Photos courtesy Silverstone Auctions.
Patina is apparently as alluring on the other side of the Atlantic as it is here, as demonstrated by a recent U.K. auction that saw a "barn find" 1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage, a "barn find" 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe, and a disassembled 1962 Facel Vega atop the sale's list of high-dollar cars, with the latter two selling for more than $100,000. In addition to a healthy layer of dust, the auction's three top sellers had another thing in common: Each selling price far exceeded the pre-auction estimate, thanks in part to heavy participation from foreign bidders via telephone.
1962 Facel Vega restoration project.
The late-production Facel Vega, described as mostly complete but missing the wraparound windshield glass, carried a high pre-auction estimate of £34,000 ($56,845), yet it sold for £64,400 ($107,670, with all prices including fees), nearly doubling the estimate despite the car's unfinished state. For the U.S. market, Hagerty estimates the value of a "Fair" condition HK500 at $82,000, and this example will require quite a bit of labor to even achieve this level, assuming the bulk of the parts provided with the car are in salvageable condition.
The "barn find" 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe sold for £62,100 ($103,825), besting its high pre-auction estimate by £17,100 ($28,589). Though also described as "mostly complete," the auction catalog is clear that the entire car will need to be gone through and refurbished, an expensive proposition for a vehicle that Hagerty values at $79,300 in fair condition.
The premium paid for the "barn find" 1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage was perhaps the most impressive, as its selling price of £51,175 ($85,559) more than doubled the high pre-auction estimate of £25,000 ($41,798), thanks to a bidding war that erupted as the car crossed the stage. Though Hagerty does not show a value for this particular Aston Martin, a 1969 DBS carries a fair condition value of $48,800.
Fully restored E30 BMW M3.
Other cars in Silverstone Auctions' The Restoration Show Sale top 10 included a "barn find" 1969 Aston Martin DBS V8 Series I, which sold for £49,450 ($82,675); a well-preserved 1964 Mercedes Benz 230 SL "Pagoda Roof," which sold for £46,920 ($78,446); a recently refurbished 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III, which sold for £44,275 ($74,023); a 1985 Lamborghini Jalpa, fresh from long-term storage, which sold for £40,825 ($68,255); a fully restored 1986 BMW E30 M3, which sold for £34,500 ($57,681); a restored 1966 Porsche 912, which sold for £34,500 ($57,681); and a 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series I, in storage since 1979, which sold for £33,925 ($56,719).
Restoration-project 1969 Jensen Interceptor Mk 2.
As one would expect from an auction with "Restoration" in its title, there were bargains to be had by entry-level collectors as well.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati
Had the timing been different, the Chrysler TC by Maserati may have been a hit for both brands, as it offered Italian style and sensibility with American car convenience. Instead, production delays caused the visually similar Chrysler LeBaron to hit the market first, and when the Chrysler TC did hit dealers, many consumers couldn't understand why its price tag was twice that of the LeBaron. In the decades since its launch, the Italian-American convertible has developed a loyal following, which means that the next owner of this 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati for sale on Hemmings.com will have plenty of resources at his or her disposal. The current owner describes this car as low-mileage, with some of the interior leather replaced with Maserati-sourced hides for an exact match. From the seller's description:
made in Malan, Italy. 4 cy. turbocharged engine, Power everything. Hardtop and original black canvas type soft top. New leather seat (leather bought from Maserati for exact color match. A low milage original car in excellent condition. Call or email for full information. You'd be hard pressed to find another as fine as this car. Only 7301 made between 1989-91.

Sale of alleged prototype Iso Grifo halted amid questions of its authenticity
The Iso Grifo in question. Photos courtesy Coys.
At first, it appeared that the 1966 Iso Grifo Lusso that Coys offered at last weekend's Techno Classica auction in Essen, Germany, sold for a respectable $332,000, but after Iso enthusiasts cried foul over the car's chassis number, the sale was canceled and questions now linger over the car's true provenance.
Described by Coys as an original-condition car with its original Chevrolet small-block V-8 engine and four-speed manual transmission, Coys didn't belabor its provenance, noting only that it came from "an important Italian collection of historic vehicles, where it has resided for many years," that it only came available after the death of the owner of the collection, and that it came with German historic registration documents. Designed by Giugiaro with a chassis by Bizzarrini, the Grifo debuted in 1963, powered by the Corvette 327, and over the next decade or so, Iso went on to build more than 400 Grifos, including the dark blue over tan leather interior example that Coys listed.
What caught the eye of a number of Iso experts and enthusiasts before the auction, however, was the chassis number listed for the Grifo, B740001, displayed on a number plate riveted to the passenger-side upright in the engine bay, which was also stamped with the number. However, according to Mike Gulett, the director of marketing and media for the Iso and Bizzarrini Owners Club, and the experts he has quoted at My Car Quest, chassis numbers are typically stamped on metal plates welded to the upright. And what's more, the chassis number belongs to an early Iso S4 – the four-door sedan later known as the Iso Fidia – according to those experts. Further investigation into the stamping numbers on the engine in the Grifo revealed that it was a 350 built in 1974 for non-Corvette applications.
As Gulett related the story, Iso club members approached Coys with the discrepancies, but in response, Coys officials claimed that they had not only confirmed with the club that the chassis number was authentic, but that it was the chassis number for the Iso Grifo prototype. Except, as it turns out, the actual 1963 Iso Grifo prototype – chassis number 420001, which has appeared at Pebble Beach twice and features a number of variations from the production Grifos – currently resides in Don Williams's Blackhawk Collection in Danville, California.
"If (Coys) is calling theirs a '66, then it's obviously not the prototype," Williams said. "Everybody makes mistakes – it could be a misunderstanding – but don't try to defend a car that's undefendable."
No mention was made in the Coys auction description of the Grifo being the 1963 prototype. Nor has Coys yet released the complete results from the auction.
Gulett reported that the Grifo sold this past Saturday for €220,000 (about $332,000), right in the middle of its €200,000 to €250,000 pre-auction estimate, and then, citing a single anonymous source, that the Grifo was then seized by German authorities. Ben Willis, a salesman at Coys, confirmed that the Grifo's sale was not completed, attributing it to "a description error." In a followup to Gulett, Chris Routledge, another salesman at Coys, said that the car's transaction did not take place and that the matter is being handled in Germany.
"The case of historic motorcars due to the nature of their age where some confusion arises about their history is unfortunately commonplace throughout the world and in this particular instance upon the acknowledgement of claims being made of an alternative car with the same chassis number the matter was handled in an entirely appropriate manner and the sale has not proceeded," Routledge wrote to Gulett. "This situation, although unfortunate, is simply no more complicated than that."
The situation, for what it's worth, comes less than a month after another Iso Grifo – chassis number 250223, claimed to be the last Iso Grifo built – sold for $440,000, a world record for an Iso Grifo at public auction, at the recent RM sale at Amelia Island.
In the meantime, Iso enthusiasts are left wondering what lies behind the Grifo's incorrect chassis number and incorrect engine. Some have speculated that its actual chassis number was appropriated for use in another Grifo, while another theory posits that it could be one of two cars stolen in Italy. No theory has yet been proposed for how it ended up with the chassis number of the first S4, however.
UPDATE (6.May 2014): Gulett reports that German authorities have released the Grifo. Meanwhile, it has appeared for sale on a German classic car dealer's website, described as all original, with an asking price of €248,000 (about $345,000).
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 Ghia L6.4
From the looks of it, this 1962 Ghia L6.4 for sale on Hemmings.com hasn't been touched for probably as long as the current long-term (45-year) owners have had it, and maybe even since it had the European headlight conversion and sunroof installed back when it was essentially a new car. From the seller's description:
Engine 383 cid 335 bhp, TorqueFlite transmission. Chrysler drivetrain, number 308, mid production unit numbers starting 301 through 326. Auto originally purchased in Beverly Hills, CA by Auto Accessory dealer. (Family owned) first time on market in 45 years. Headlight conversion and sunroof conversion performed in North Hollywood at Barris Kustoms shop in early 1960s. One of the first American sunroofs ever installed in Barris shop by American Sunroof Co. Featured in several magazines, show winner.

What a difference a year makes: Re-restored Shelby Cobra to cross the block
Shelby Cobra CSX2023. Photos courtesy Auctions America.
When CSX2023, one of the first couple dozen Shelby Cobras, sold at auction for half a million dollars last year, many Cobra purists noted the slew of modifications it sported and wondered whether they hurt or helped the car's value. Their questions may soon be answered when the same Cobra, now re-restored back to its approximate original configuration, crosses the auction block next month.
As it sold at last year's Auctions America event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, CSX2023 was painted red, had side exhausts, and rolled on fat tires wrapped around American Racing magnesium knock-off wheels under wide fender flares. Its original 260-cu.in. V-8 had been long ago swapped out for a 289, and despite (or maybe because of) all the modifications, it hammered at $485,000 and sold for a total of $533,500, including 10 percent commission.
Auctions America had little of the car's early history in its description of CSX2023, noting only that it originally sold out of Downtown Ford in Los Angeles in November 1962, and that a prior owner had restored the Cobra in the early 1980s. The World Registry of Cobras and GT40s doesn't have much more than that, noting that the prior owner, Ruben Garnica, bought it in 1971 missing its windshield, hood, and trunk lid, causing him to commission its restoration.
In the year since CSX2023 sold, its current owner has been busy with it, cutting off the wide flares, reverting it to a full dual exhaust system, and installing skinnier knockoff wire wheels and whitewall tires. Though the World Registry notes that the Cobra was originally painted white with a red interior, CSX2023 now has a fresh coat of Silver Moss paint with black leather interior. According to the auction description, a 289 still powers the Cobra.
Was it worth putting all that work into CSX2023? Auctions America seems to believe so, with a pre-auction estimate of $750,000 to $850,000.
The Cobra will cross the block at this year's Auctions America Fort Lauderdale sale, which is scheduled for March 14-16. For more information, visit AuctionsAmerica.com.
UPDATE (20.March): The re-restored Cobra sold for a price of $825,000, including the 10-percent buyer's fee.

text: UAProf info further confirms HTC One Mini with 720p Screen Stormy Beach 14 June, 2013 Yes, more HTC One Mini details. The more snippets of details emerge, the closer to launch it mush be. A new UAProf (User Agent Profile) is now making the rounds. This is where a person find out some nitty-gritty details about a device. Inside the land of code, there are a few things that cam be verified. Most notable is the screen resolution, 1280×720, aka 720p. At least that is definite now. The UAProf also shows Android 4.2. Now I am not a UAProf expert, but word around is it is Android 4.2.2. Possibly the UAProf doesn't add the extra .2 in. I am not certain. It does list the device at the HTC One mini, a no brainer really at this point. The rest of it is gibberish to me, but I don't see anything else that jumps out at me towards the processor, memory or anything else. The remaining rumors of the device sporting a Qualcomm 400 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage are still just talks, but most likely true. While nothing is official from HTC yet, we are still hoping that an August launch is the target. Feel free to poke around the UAProf and see if you find anything else compelling.

When Ben Bernanke gave his speech to the London School of Economics, our reporter was on the scene. Terry Easton put a tough question to America's central banker: aren't your interventions just making the situation worse, he wanted to know.
Amid the blah…blah…blah…of Bernanke's response was this:
"The tendency of financial systems to boom and bust …is a very long-standing problem… but I think it's very important for us to try to put out the fire…then you think about the fire code."
In his 1988 book, The Collapse of Complex Societies, Joseph Tainter argued that all societies – like all organisms – are doomed. Tainter studied ancient Rome as well as the Mayan civilization. He noticed that problems always blaze up. Each one – whether climatic, political or economic – rings the firehall bell. And each solution – and readers may substitute the word "bailout" for solution – brings more challenges and takes more resources. Finally, the available resources are worn out.
Tainter observes that when the costs become high enough, people seem to give up. By the end of Roman era, for example, the burdens of empire were so heavy that people sold themselves into slavery to get free of them. So many people did so at one point that the authorities had to come up with another solution; they outlawed the practice. Henceforth, Roman citizens were required by law to remain free!
Another philosopher, Giambattista Vico, writing in the 18th century, put the beginning of the decline of Rome roughly at the time of the Great Fire during Nero's reign. Nero, partly to pay for his post-fire reforms and reconstruction, began taking the gold and silver out of the coins. All civilizations go through three stages, Vico said – divine, heroic, and human. The divine period is ruled by the gods. The heroic period is adorned with victories and statues. Then, comes the human era. (Here, we permit ourselves to add a footnote to Vico's oeuvre: the coin of the realm in early periods is the gods' money – gold. Later, people switch to money of their own invention – the kind of money you make from trees.) This last stage, says Vico, is when popular democracy arises, along with rational thinking and what Vico delightfully calls the "barbarie della reflessione" [the barbarism of reflection]. In earlier eras, people do what their gods and leaders ask of them. In the final era, they ask, "what's in it for me?"
Even as late as the early '60s, John F. Kennedy could still appeal to heroic urge without drawing a laugh. "Ask not what your country can do for you," he said in his inaugural address, "ask what you can do for your country."
But 11 years later, Richard Nixon, like Nero before him, began the process of debasing the country's money. That was a solution too; the United States had spent too much. Nixon could worry about the fire code later. First he opened up with the fire hose; he defaulted on America's promise to exchange dollars for gold at the statutory rate.
Barack Obama tried a Kennedyesque appeal to civic high-mindedness last week. We need to "insist that the first question each of us asks isn't 'what's good for me' but 'what's good for the country my children will inherit,'" said the president-elect. But now, like Doric columns in a trailer park, the words are ornamental, not structural. They are the homage that one age pays to a better one.
We are in the 21st century now. Barbarous reflections rise up like swamp gas. The whole place stinks of them. Bernanke and Obama offer solutions. But their plans to save the world from a correction are little more than a swindle. They offer to bail out the mistakes of one generation with trillions of dollars' worth of debt laid onto the next.
"Regarding the current financial meltdown," writes Rony Teitelbaum, "it is very clear that two main factors underlie the political reactions to the crisis, the first being pressure originating from ties between the financial and the political elect, manifested by taxpayer bailouts of large institutions that continue to deliver bonuses to the executives and donate to political campaigns. For those of us who are not blind, these are clear signs of political corruption which would have made the worst Roman emperor blush. The second factor is political pressure originating from the mass public. The kind of solutions offered so far, and I may add which were received with very warm enthusiasm, were tax rebates and gasoline tax holidays. These are actions aimed at a public who "impatiently expected quick and obvious results," to quote Cary's description of Roman society in AD300. (A History of Rome)."
Circa 2009, there is hardly a soul in the entire world who has not been corrupted by the barbarie della reflessione of the late imperial period. Both patricians and plebes are for bailouts. Both business and labor back stimulus programs. The taxpayers and the politicians who rule them are of one mind. Liberal, conservative, rich, poor, Republican, Democrat all speak with a single voice: 'Screw the next generation!"
The golden age is over, in other words. In the space of 40 years it passed from gold, to silver, to paper…and is now somewhere between plastic and navel lint.

Pingback: Tweets that mention After Gods, Heroes and Gold Comes the Age of Lint -- Topsy.com()
In his book The New Science published in the first half of the 1700's ( I think it was around 1744)Giambattista Vico also noted that the explorers of the "New World" had brought back copious evidence that all civilizations around the world, no matter how backward – even tribal – were characterized by the following identical triad of social pillars. The three pillars of society were:
Some form of religion placing a God or God's above man imposing morality and civil engineering.
Some form of balanced governance that prevented one person or group from assuming absolute power.
Some form of marriage that maintained the foundational family structure to raise children.
All three are actually interrelated and cross supportive. Weaken any one and the stool lists to one side; Kick any one out and the entire structure collapses.
I find it interesting that all three are under intense pressure by dissolusive social forces in America. If even one of any three of these go we will fall far faster than Rome. It seems to me that the assault on God and Marriage seem to be gaining momentum while Socialism a masked version of Communism (Bolshevism is the unmasked version) is making headway. And Communism is simply the usurpation of power by a single person in the form of a Cult of Personality or a small group that rules in a Politbureau type structure (Like all those unappointed Czars!) under cover of realocating weath from the rich to the poor which, instead destroys the very weath they actually wish to grasp for themselves most ly out of sheer envy and resentment that they don't have it.
God (ooops!) help us!

SIDON, Lebanon: A Civil Defense maritime rescue unit was stymied by powerful waves Friday as it joined efforts to put out a huge fire that broke out in Sidon's landfill Thursday and has paralyzed the city.
The unit, comprising two rescue boats equipped with water hoses, proved unable to reach the site of the fire that broke out in the western sector of the city's four-decade-old waste dump, which lies on the southern outskirts of the city.
A Civil Defense source told The Daily Thursday that it may require at least 48 hours to extinguish the fire, given its size.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Civil Defense teams and the Sidon Fire Department had drawn up a plan to put out the fire, which broke out at 4 a.m. Thursday.
A thick blanket of smoke and haze settled over the city and surrounding areas, reaching the east of the city and the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh.
Smoke hung over parts of Sidon all day while wind pushed the garbage cloud toward the city and reduced visibility on the main highway.
The fire, the fourth in less than a month in Sidon, prompted nearby hospitals to urge firefighters to boost their efforts, as the industrial sector of the city shut down.
Police have yet to launch a probe to determine the circumstances behind all of the fires.
The landfill, which has been used as a site for the disposal of garbage for years, measures about 30 meters in height, and reportedly contains about 500,000 bottles.

Will a standard home insurance policy cover your home for earthquake damage?
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable home insurance now.
The short answer is no, though it may cover damage from a fire or broken pipes that follow.
But consumers can add a home insurance earthquake endorsement to their policy, although "not every insurance company offers earthquake coverage," says Don Griffin, vice president of personal lines for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America.
Separate, stand-alone home insurance earthquake coverage is also available.
Unlike flood insurance, which is available from through FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), earthquake insurance is offered by private insurance companies.
Homeowners looking for California earthquake insurance can buy from a private company or through the publicly managed California Earthquake Authority (Its current slogan is "California Rocks!"). Costs vary dramatically, not only according to location but also by the age and construction of the home, and how big a deductible you choose.
For example, insuring a 20-year-old, slab-foundation, one-story wood-frame home for its replacement value of $425,000 in Napa, California, would cost about $1,383 a year, the CEA estimates. The same home built of brick would cost $2,451.
Even that policy requires a 10 percent deductible; that is, the owner would be responsible for the first $42,500 in repairs.
Only about 12 percent of California homeowners buy earthquake coverage.
Coverage is much cheaper in other areas of the country -- as little as 50 cents per $1,000. In general, you'll pay more for earthquake coverage if your home is:
While many homeowners might not think of buying earthquake coverage until the ground shifts beneath their feet, that's too late. After an earthquake of any consequence, there's a moratorium on new policies of 30 to 60 days (when the threat of aftershocks is present) in most states.
Earthquake insurance covers both the structure and the contents of a home. Homeowners decide how much insurance they want to purchase for each type of coverage.
"Generally, the structure coverage is more important because the more costly damage from an earthquake is usually in terms of cracks in the foundation rather than in damage to personal possessions," Griffin says.
Earthquake insurance also reimburses living expenses for homeowners while their property is repaired. Some insurance companies offer endorsements for outbuildings or swimming pools. In other cases, standard home insurance policies cover those items, says Griffin.
Griffin says earthquake policies and endorsements have deductibles that usually are set as a percentage of the home's replacement value from 1 percent to 10 percent. In the case of an endorsement, the earthquake deductible is separate from and in addition to the deductible on the home insurance policy.
Some people might be tempted to skip earthquake coverage unless they live in California. But earthquakes can impact most – if not all – states.
The Insurance Information Institute says the entire Northwest U.S. is at high risk for earthquakes. Earthquakes are also a worry in several states along the New Madrid seismic zone within the central Mississippi River valley.
"If you live in an earthquake zone, you should realize that – as we saw after Hurricane Katrina – a government bailout could be long in coming and short on funding," says Pete Moraga, a spokesperson for the Insurance Information Network of California. "Homeowners should think about what they are doing to mitigate their exposure to the financial impact of an earthquake."
Some of the worst damage from an earthquake can follow the quake when gas pipes burst or cracked water pipes cause a flood. Homeowners insurance policies often cover such damages.
"A fire is a 'covered peril' in a standard home insurance policy and will be covered regardless of whether it is caused by an earthquake or not," says Moraga. "Homeowners who do not have earthquake insurance will still have fire damage covered."
Flood damage caused by a tsunami following an earthquake, such as occurred in Japan, would require a separate flood insurance policy, according to Moraga.
Any earthquake-related damage to your car would be covered under your comprehensive coverage, if you carry it.

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to discuss the results of the Log Analysis of Internet Resources in the Arts and Humanities (LAIRAH) study. It aims to concentrate upon the use and importance of information resources, physical research centres and digital finding aids in scholarly research. Design/methodology/approach – Results are presented of web server log analysis of portals for humanities scholars: the arts and humanities data service (AHDS) website and Humbul Humanities Hub. These are used to determine which resources were accessed most often, or seldom. Questionnaire data about perceptions of digital resource use were also gathered. Findings – Information resources such as libraries, archives museums and research centres, and the web pages that provide information about them are vital for humanities scholars. The university library website was considered to be the most important resource, even compared to Google. Secondary finding aids and reference resources are considered more important than primary research resources, especially those produced by other scholars, whose output is less trusted than publications produced by commercial organisations, libraries, archives and museums. Practical implications – Digital resources have not replaced physical information resources and the people who staff them, thus both types of information continue to require funding. Scholars trust the judgment of information professionals, who therefore need to be trained to evaluate and recommend specialist digital research resources. Originality/value – LAIRAH was the first research project to use quantitative data to investigate resource use. Findings about the type of resources used are based on evidence rather than opinions alone. This gives a clearer picture of usage that may be used to plan future information services.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I take this at night almost every night to help get me to sleep. I sometimes wake up at night and cannot fall back asleep. This helps me to fall back asleep. It may take a half hour to an hour for me to become sleepy. This doesn't enterfer with waking up in the morning i still feel like i did get some rest. I will definitely purchase this again.
I like the idea of this, but for me, it took a lot more than one dropperful to have any kind of relaxation effect. And at that rate, it gets a little pricey. At 4 dropperfuls, I would begin to feel very relaxed.

Two former Homestead High School students accused of having sex with a 14-year-old girl at the school pleaded no contest Wednesday to reduced charges.
Also, the girl and her family have sued Mequon-Thiensville School District officials and the two graduated students over the incident and its aftermath.
The two former students, Brent P. Anderson and Deangelo D. Dantzler, were charged last year with second-degree sexual assault of a 14-year-old fellow student after sharing alcohol with her on school grounds after class hours.
The assault took place in an unlocked music storage room at the school in November. Police reports indicated the boys admitted to the sex acts, which they described as consensual. But the girl is too young to legally consent to such activity.
Anderson and Dantzler, both 19 and from Mequon, pleaded no contest Wednesday to reduced charges of child abuse-recklessly causing harm. Their sentencings are set for November in Ozaukee County Circuit Court.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Milwaukee, names as defendants the Mequon-Thiensville School District, Superintendent Demond Means and Homestead Principal Brett Bowers in addition to Anderson and Dantzler.
The girl's 16-year-old brother and their father are also listed as plaintiffs. The teens' names are redacted in the lawsuit, and the Journal Sentinel is not using the father's name because his daughter is a sex crime victim.
The federal suit accuses the school district and officials of failure to protect or warn, negligent supervision, negligent infliction of emotional distress, retaliation, hostile environment and violation of common-law duty to protect.
It makes claims against Dantzler and Anderson of assault and battery.
The complaint contends Homestead officials knew of sexual misconduct at the school and didn't stop it, suspended the plaintiff, failed to post signs stating alcohol was not allowed on campus, and did not provide sex education courses for the first semester of ninth grade.
Samuel C. Hall Jr., an attorney for the district, Means and Bowers, said the school district determined that the allegations were unfounded and by a unanimous vote, the School Board voted to deny the claims.

Very dissapointed in the descision to do La Llarona, especially after Murdy assured that it could never be a maze- his words, not mine. However, the design and execution of details was great! I'm just disgusted for other reasons.
When did he say it couldn't ever be a maze? Either way, it's a good thing to remember that Murdy is constantly breaking his own rules.
And I know the subject matter isn't the best idea but they've done worse things in horror movies so I can't necessarily complain. It's best to remember that at the end of the day, it's a ghost story and like most ghost stories, their mythology starts with something unspeakable.
I really enjoyed the thing! then la llarona
1. The Thing: I'm usually not scared of haunted mazes unless I'm alone with my group, but this one had me really scared. It being really long made it much more scarier as well. Being first in the group & having those monsters come after me was awesome.
2. La Llarona: It was very detailed which I liked. I thought the scares sucked though. Loved the portrait scare though I was really impressed.
3. Wolfman: Yes it's just HOH but either way it had the most scares. The Wolfman's costume was really cool too, especially when they came after you with the strobe going off.
4: Hostel: Nice maze. Just there. Had some really cool rooms & decent scares.
5: Same with hostel.
6: Scream: Was horrible. It was only my second year here & loved it last year. Bummer how they used the Scream4 movie this year. Wasn't too much scare actors either. Heading to the restroom I saw a rack of Ghostface Costumes in one of the buildings, obviously a lot of people didn't show up for work that day =/

Presidential Visits Disrupt Chicago Airspace
When President Obama comes home to the Windy City, prepare for air traffic
congestion. More than 20 Chicago-area airports experienced significant operational disruption as a result of the presidential temporary flight restriction (TFR) imposed during a recent weekend. The TFR centered on downtown Chicago, near the President's residence, and extended out as far as 30 miles and up to 18,000 feet.
Besides disrupting air traffic during Obama's arrival and departure, the TFRs played havoc with Chicago airspace while he was on the ground there. Part 121, 125 and 135 operators in compliance with the TSA's Standard Security Program (SSP) had access to O'Hare and Midway Airports, but general aviation and business aircraft not on an SSP were required to land in Rockford or Peoria, Ill., or South Bend, Ind., to be vetted by the TSA before being allowed to proceed to O'Hare or Midway. Aircraft flying to any of the other airports within the TFR were required to receive and adhere to a clearance to enter the airspace. If Obama sticks to his plan to visit his Chicago residence at least once every six weeks, similar TFRs will be enforced nearly three dozen more times throughout his first term.
