As far as "correct" colors go, it looks like the horsey at the end is dark blue? If so, very nice. If not, you can always re-paint as it is terribly redundant to have TWO horseys in black.

I think that you should park your wife's Viper in a different area because it's a bit too girly with those macho arse-engined cars.

Thanks Mark. Actually, there are three black horsey cars, but one of them is "missing in action" at the moment. The interior of an 87 328 is in the WAY BACK being redyed/reconditioned by guess who, while the clutch is being redone by someone competent (guess who NOT??). That car should be back in a couple weeks.

The Viper a girlie car!?! Tell that to the Viper Club! Those guys are trying to corner the market on machismo, but that car is a flipping blast. Brutal, rough, insane, 3 time LeMans winner - a FUTURE collectible of the first order.

Holy Crap Adams. Is that a TESTOSTERONEROSSA in the back? Man, your F-car to D-car ratio is getting WAAAAY skewed... Sounds like we need to do an intervention. You should have at least bought a Mangusta before a third Ferrari...

OK, I admit it, I'm jealous.

Cudos here too; that's nice.

Do you do more heavy maintenance or restoration type work in another building? I know where I do my work it turns the area into a mess. Keep most of the cars in the other garage but running out of room (like most).

I have many things skewed, I promise. Yes, that's a 512TR, Jan. 94 build date which means in the last 50 built, less than 10 in black/black, only year with ABS, upgraded diff carrier, revised steering rack, 421 hp stock, but previous owner did a Tubi for whatever that's worth. Sounds better anyway.

Hey, when you get that Mangusta done, we'll laugh about the condition it WAS in when we first met it!

Comp2 - nothing I do is very neat, surface appearance only, plus I'm not moved in fully or it'd be a wreck. My house garage has stuff strewn all over, no kidding at all.

Here's the 512TR if anyone cares...

And an overhead showing off pretty good lines here. Yes, this is a flattering angle for the Pantera too.

I think I'm taking the dumb limo tint off the rear quarter glass. Looks too blocky to me as is.

Well Adams, as much as I hate to admit it, you have pretty good taste. Very nice car!

Mark

And we cant forget Adams is a pretty good guy to boot!!
Sorry about the obligatory sucking up.

Nice collection!!

I'm very dissappointed - it took Adams 3 years and 640 posts to FINALLY share these pics with us. JK!

Great collection! Thanks for sharing.

Not sure exactly why, but for some strange reason Adams is embarrassed by his non DeTomaso cars. Except for the poor choice of colors his collection is beautiful. He needs to add a “Goose” and stop adding all of these “F” cars.

C’mon Adams maybe sell the plain old Viper or the mundane 308.
