Wow, I like that color!! Makes my Seal Grey look rather mundane. Not sure about the snakeskin, but I'd love to own that one.

Something about that eBay listing makes it look like a giant sour apple Jolly Rancher... with a caramel center... and strips of snake skin... doesn't matter, though, because it will sell for sure.

I recently read that the 612 Scaglietti can be completely customized to your desire, but Luca Di Montezemolo has veto power on anything deemed tasteless. He recently turned down a request for a full croc interior on a 612. Really now... who would order such a thing???

Interesting pile of BS that someone actually bought because the car was sold to a winning bidder. Where are the photos of the car completely disassembled? Something way fishy on that one, buyer beware.

Blewy, mate, how much insurance did the Crock-Hunter have?

The paint looks good. I don't think $34,000 good, but it looks quality. The snake skins on the other hand....

I dunno... a $34k 2004 carrera doesn't sound too bad.

edit: eww, 1999. Didn't realize how old it was. But I'd drive it for $34k. At that price, it better be in good working order. I bet it is, judging by the care taken for all the visible stuff.

Not sure I'd jump to that conclusion. His story about living a life of excess was a red flag for me. If you're lighting cigars with $100 bills, do you think he cares if he redlines his toy or abuses it in other ways? Greenie probably cleans up well, but if it could talk it would probably tell some tales.
