If you're at all into these vintage cars you might enjoy this story. Can you imagine finding something like this in a garage?

I'd kill for that amount of money... Not a bad car either, more of a fan of the Veyron myself though.

I read an article about this awhile back, that is one amazing story about an amazing car.

I don't know about other people but I can't stand they Veyron, and I was so happy when the SSC Ultra Aero took the title of World's Fastest Car away from that ugly Bugatti.

I thought the Ascari A10 was faster than the bugatti (and possibly the Zonda F Roadster)

It's got amazing specs, but I agree for that kind of money they could've given it a more impressive body.

I don't really see the attraction of very old cars.

For that money I would rather have a garage full of Supercars.

People throwing down that much money already have a garage full of supercars.
