not many cars survive moving from house to house, when they are dissasembled and mostly a lot of boxes and hopes that "someday I'll get it fixed" but this '67 Ferrari got lucky

Tom Mingle became fascinated with the Ferrari brand at a young age. He finally saved up enough money to purchase this one, his first, in the early 1970s, but he quickly experienced engine problems. The 275 GTB/4 burned an abnormal amount of oil, and he suspected the valve guides were to blame. He took the V-12 engine partially apart to start the lengthy process of rebuilding it.

Life got in the way of his project, so the V-12 sat dismantled in boxes. The car and the boxes of parts followed him from house to house for about four decades until his wife urged him to do something with it. “Don’t die and leave me with a car in boxes; I wouldn’t know what to do with it,” she pleaded. He took her advice, loaded the car and the boxes onto a trailer, and asked a shop to put it back together.
