Funny, the only thing in that pic that hasn't been re-issued is the Ferrari.
Thanks Tamiya!

There are enough NIB kits there that the guy could have had a real garage and a second Ferrari if he'd been smarter with his money.

Holy $$@#!! As a huge fan of the 250GTO, I'm really incredulous.... is that a REAL 250GTO? I followed the link to try to determine if it's a real one but wasn't sure based on the comments on there.
The 250GTO (39 ever made) is probably the undisputable most desireable Ferrari ever made, and one of the most expensive. They trade very rarely (and privately) in the $20-30 million dollar range. Yes, that's correct.

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/04/ultra-rare-1963-ferrari-250-gto-up-for-sale-by-rm-auctions-wi/
So with that said, did this guy really stack all those boxes over a real 250GTO?
Here are some selected pictures from the 250GTO celebration last August in Pebble Beach where they had 22 of the 39 all there, representing
half a billion dollars worth of cars just in that grouping on hand.

That picture with all the old rc cars in the shed was actually the result of trade-ins for Mantua model cars. Seems you bring in your old rc cars and they will hook you up with a current model. I was informed of this practice by the Australian Mantua distributor.
